CHILDHOOD: After Ophelia Clarke died, Lawrence married Abigail Haywood and they had a lovely daughter, Arielle Jane Clarke, who was born on May 24, 1998. Abigail and Lawrence were only together for a short period of time, about 3 years, before Abigail met the Squib, John Maverick, and left her husband. The divorce and marriage didn't effect A.J.'s life at all. She has never known a life where she remained stationary.

Growing up, A.J. would spend time between her mother and her father but she never enjoyed time spent at the Clarke manner. Her older sisters were raised to be prim, proper, and obedient whereas A.J. was raised with a more carefree attitude. She was forced to wear dresses, have her hair done and not play in the mud with the other kids. Life in the Clarke manor was boring! And they forced her to answer to Arielle - a name she grew up to hate immensely.

Time on the S.S. Maverick was her favourite. She loved living on the boathouse. She loved the lore and legend of her home. It is said that the Maverick family are descendents of pirates and that the original John Maverick sailed his ship around the world plundering and pillaging. However, it is also said that he traveled from America to Scotland with his young bride hiding in the bow of his ship. He fell in love and married her aboard the original S.S. Maverick before is was shipwrecked. John Maverick, the first, and his wife survived miraculous and settled into life in Portree, on the Isle of Skye. After many years, John had wealth and used it to raise the remains of his beloved ship from the sea where he transformed it into the family home. It continues to sit, docked on the coast of the island with the only access being across the gangplank.

A.J. and her younger brother would often play as pirates, pretending one of them was their ancestor John Maverick and the other was his beloved whom he built the house for. It was great fun and she enjoyed this life much better than that of dresses and frilly shoes.

SCHOOL YEARS:

YEAR ONE/TWO: A.J. began her schooling when she was eleven years old. At this point in her life she was struggling with trying to earn her stepfather’s approval. John Maverick did have strong beliefs that now that A.J. was a young lady she needed to display the proper behaviour of a young lady. This meant he became more like Lawrence and A.J. really struggled to prove she could be just as good as his son. She was sorted into Gryffindor upon her arrival at Hogwarts, but A.J. was scared for the first time in her life, she was leaving Joey behind and had never done anything without her younger brother except going to her father’s where she had sisters at her side. However, once she got there, it was easy to become submerged into the magical life of Hogwarts and she soon made the best friend of her entire life, Finn O’Brien. The two became thick as thieves and practically inseparable for the rest of their remaining years.

YEAR THREE/FOUR/FIVE: In in third year, A.J. befriended the very strange, Sungwon Choi . He seemed like a lost, loner who needed a pal and A.J. was just the type to take him under her wing. She didn’t have many friends outside of Finn and therefore Sungwon joined her crew of misfit pirates. By the end of her third year, A.J.’s stepfather was lost at sea and months after, her mother died of a broken heart. The Maverick’s estate fell into the hands of A.J.’s uncle Kaleb. Going into her fourth year, A.J. developed a delusional disorder from the death of her parents and was put into therapy by her biological father. She was devastated by the loss, A.J. struggled to be therefore her younger brother who was just starting Hogwarts and had introverted further into himself. Fortunately, she had the help of her two best friends, and Corvus Grimstone who they had befriended a number of years prior. Because of her mental health issues, A.J.’s biological father began to pull away from her, deeming her unfit to carry the Clarke name and she officially took on the last name Maverick. Her fifth year was the year she started to notice boys, especially Tao Yong and @leonis but she avoided them like crazy because every encounter left her a bumbling idiot. It was apparent she was highly susceptible to Veela Charms.

YEAR SIX/SEVEN: Sixth year, A.J. and Sungwon decided to explore a kiss and shared that together, deciding they were definitely not compatible and over that summer between year six and year seven she spent time at his house where she had a decent snog session with his older brother. In her seventh year, A.J. was made Head Girl but her position was gravely jeopardized by Finn sneaking a Chimera egg into the school. He thought he could contain it, they were found out and fortunately, Lawrence stepped in to protect the Clarke-Maverick name by getting A.J. out of trouble. She graduated in 2015, as Head Girl but decided to return for another year at Hogwarts to better her grades now that she knew she wanted to go into Cursebreaking and have some adventures. Her repeat of her seventh year was the year her relationship with Tao and Leonis developed. She learned fencing that year as well.


ADULTHOOD: After graduating a second time (is that possible?) A.J. took on a job at the Museum as a cursebreaker trainee. Unfortunately, her first year as a real adult didn’t go very well as it was riddled with hardships. To start with, she was fighting with Uncle Kaleb in order to obtain access to the Maverick estate which he was still in control of even though she had long since come of age. And then there were the kidnappings. A.J. didn’t know what to make of that but she knew she couldn’t sit idly by while Tao’s siblings, Leo’s family and her own brother’s boyfriend went missing one by one. A.J. joined the Sparrows – a movement to help the Aurors locate the missing people. She constantly put her life in danger by joining an attempt to locate the prison, following Tao on his Auror missions and eventually being a part of the group who broke into the prison and rescued the prisoners. Since everyone has been rescued, A.J. has been getting life back to normal and focused on her training as a cursebreaker and finally getting to meet Leo and Tao’s families in an official manner.
