Draco Malfoy's sister - Carina

Carina, Draco Malfoy's big sister, is a rebel in love with a Muggle, specifically a young woman who is a tattoo artist.

How I imagine the past of Carina Malfoy:

At 4 years old: The birth of her little brother, a narcissistic injury:

Carina was four years old when her little brother, Draco, was born. It was one of her very first significant memories—not because of joy, but because of the anxiety that settled in her small body. Her mother, Narcissa, was more tired, more distant. Her father, Lucius, spoke to her less and less, as if she mattered less and less. Both paid great attention to the newborn, investing their time in meeting his needs. The Malfoy Manor echoed with baby cries and adult conversations. Carina, who had learned very early to fend for herself—like all children raised in a family where tenderness is a luxury—found herself even more isolated. She developed a sense of abandonment, perceiving the arrival of the newborn as a threat to her already precarious emotional security. She began to briefly regress, purposely making "mistakes" to attract attention, imitating the baby, and sometimes, watching him sleep with silent hatred. When she timidly tried to tug at her mother's clothes to be noticed, Narcissa responded wearily: "You are big now, Carina. You have to be strong." So, she became strong. But this strength was only a shell enveloping her suffering. She developed a jealousy mixed with guilt. She blamed herself for hating this tiny, fragile, helpless being, for feeling threatened by his mere presence. But she couldn't help it. And above all, she resented her parents for not seeing her distress.

At 7 years old: First questions, first doubts:

Carina realized that the world she lived in was governed by rigid codes. The word "blood" often recurred in adult discussions—pure-blood, half-blood, mudblood—words that, even without fully grasping their meaning, sent shivers down her spine. One day, she asked her father: "Daddy, why do we never talk to people who are not pure-blood when we go out in town?" Lucius looked at her for a long moment, as if she had betrayed something fundamental, and replied: "Because we are not like them, Carina. We are superior. You will understand later." But Carina did not want to understand. On the contrary, the more she heard such answers, the more alienated she felt from her own home. She began to build herself in opposition. In a family that was too rigid, she sought to assert her autonomy by rejecting parental values.

At 14 years old: Love replaces hate:

It was a pivotal period. Carina, as a teenager, had already thought a lot. She saw Draco growing up, caught in Lucius's web, molded like a political weapon. She saw his gaze grow heavier, his smile become rare. And above all, she knew what it was like to bear the weight of parental expectations like an invisible chain. Gradually, the hatred she had towards him transformed into deep empathy. She understood that the real enemy was not her brother, but the familial pressure, stifling traditions, and rigid ideology. She began to love him—not like a fairy tale sister, but as someone who wants to save another from a fate she already knows all too well.

At 16 years old: Going into exile to be reborn:

The year of her sixteenth birthday, a decisive event changed everything. During a class at Hogwarts, a group of pure-blood students—whom Carina knew were echoing their parents' speeches—had humiliated a Muggle-born student. On that day, she couldn't stay silent. She stood up, denounced their behavior in front of everyone, and drew the anger of all the pure-blood students. She began to be harassed by these same students, who treated her as a blood traitor. A whole month passed, and she made a radical decision: to leave school. Lucius flew into a dark rage. He never shouted, but Lucius's silences were worse than screams. Narcissa cried but said nothing. Carina was disowned. Officially. Her name was erased from the family tree. She left for the Muggle world with her belongings. The first thing she did was get a tattoo, a way of saying to herself: "I belong to me. Not to them." The tattoo artist, a free and charismatic woman, talked at length with Carina and welcomed her into her home. Carina got to know a new world, a world where she lived without magic and learned to do odd jobs. It was a slow but essential healing process.

At 18 years old: The false departure, the true return:

At 18, Carina made a decision that had been weighing on her for months, a choice that pulled her between two worlds. She got up one morning, filled with a mix of anxiety and excitement. She told her host, the tattoo artist, that she was going to travel abroad. She fabricated a story, a necessary lie. In truth, Carina was returning to the magical world. The world she had fled, the world that had rejected her, the world where she had only known the chains of blood and traditions. And yet, she had missed it. Paradoxically, painfully. Nostalgia gripped her because she knew the magical world. Despite its harshness, this world had been the stage of her childhood, her first memories, her deep identity. It was a part of her. The night before her departure, the tattoo artist offered her one last tattoo—a silent farewell. Carina accepted, holding back her tears, thinking these words: "It's only a goodbye." The next day, she left before dawn, quietly, after leaving a letter thanking the tattoo artist for everything. And for the first time in two years, she returned to the magical world. She opened a small potion shop in Knockturn Alley. Draco had been missed far more than she had realized, and it was through letters that she reconnected with him.

At 19 years old: Breaking the Last Forbidden Rule:

One day, determined, Carina arranged a meeting with Draco using a carefully crafted letter. Her letter set a specific date, time, and place. She went to the meeting spot, hoping deeply that her little brother would come. In the biting cold of winter, she waited near the Honeydukes store in Hogsmeade. When Draco finally appeared, her heart filled with joy and hope. She wanted to introduce him to the Muggle world and break the degrading prejudices instilled by her family. However, she failed to give him the necessary courage to break ties with their pure-blood family and society—a painful failure. Rather than brooding in the wizarding world, she preferred to return to the Muggle world to find her dear tattoo artist, who she had terribly missed. The distance had made her realize the intensity of her feelings, an affection that had turned into love without her realizing it at first. It was now time for her to see her again, to talk to her, to confess her feelings, and to tell her whole story. Once again, she had to break free from her chains. Is it forbidden to talk to a Muggle about the wizarding world? It doesn't matter. Carina had never been one to follow the rules.

Her Hogwarts house? Slytherin!

Of course, Carina comes from a deeply rooted pure-blood family within Slytherin. She grew up in this environment and possesses some typical qualities of this house: ambition, determination, and a great ability to adapt. However, being in this house did not help her, as she was faced with the pure-blood ideology. Thus, the harassment she faced after protecting a Muggle-born was even stronger. She was subjected to insults and shoving, even in the dormitories. Her choice to flee and rebuild her life shows audacity and a willingness to take control of her destiny. She knows how to be cautious and discreet, never revealing the existence of magic to the tattoo artist. Once back in the magical world, her Slytherin qualities are used intelligently. She is determined to change the wizarding world, challenge the pure-blood ideology, and free her younger brother from all the pressure on his shoulders. Her ambition, determination, and resourcefulness are there to help her!

Her appearance?

She is a 19-year-old young woman. Her hair is two-toned like her mother's, both platinum blonde and dark chestnut. Her hair is long. Her skin is pale, and her eyes are grey like her father's. She has multiple tattoos on her hands and arms.

Her name?

She is named Carina Malfoy. I chose this name for several reasons. Firstly, Carina is the Latin nominative name of a constellation, just like Draco. This subtly connects them because I want them to be siblings. Additionally, constellations and stars are closely linked to the names of the Black family members, and their mother was born a Black. This name also has the same number of syllables and the same vowels as Narcissa, their mother's name. Overall, Carina is a name that reflects her pure-blood heritage, even though she is not interested in it. Lastly, it is a name that exists.
