CHILDHOOD. | Liora was born on the 21st of August to Elias and Seraphina Vandelore at Silver Leaf Hall in Wiltshire, England. However, with the deep-rooted pureblood heritage, Liora was raised to value integrity, wisdom, and equality. Despite the vastly different ages of her older sibling, she formed a close bond with all of them and learned many things about herself, including compassion, kindness, bravery, justice, adventure and a sense of fun by watching, listening and joining them in the exploration of their vast estate. She would often steal one of her sibling's brooms and try to fly them around the grounds.
She would sneak into the nearby muggle village to watch the muggle children, wondering what they would do and learn all day. However, the muggle children found her odd; she would still enjoy time spent with them at the muggle playground and join in on their games. Her closest-in-age sibling, Cassian, was who she developed a love for pranks, helping him pull them on their oldest siblings. These pranks often included levitating objects out of their sibling's reach and laughing at their reactions.
Like her sibling and other Vandelore family members, her magical education began young with theory and history, allowing her to become ahead of other children. This is where she gained a love for Herbology when, by accident, when she was seven or eight years old, Liora went looking for her mother in the greenhouses on their property and stumbled upon her mother’s Mimbulus Mimbletonia. The plant squirted Liora with stink sap, and although it smelled rancid, Liora found the incident rather hilarious.
