History:
Gabriela Monika Schaeffer--more commonly known as Gabi to her close friends--was born on Halloween to German immigrant parents in London, England. For the first few years of her life she bounced back and forth between Munich, Germany and London, since her parents couldn't decide which country they liked better. Because of this constant moving, Gabi became fluent in both German and English. Finally, at the age of 8 they decided on permanently settling in Surrey, where Gabi still resides to this very day.
At Hogwarts, Gabi was sorted into Slytherin and was one of the top students in her class, especially when it came to Charms. She dropped all the "useless" subjects as she referred to them, like Herbology and History of Magic, as soon as she could and focused on the wand-based classes like Charms, Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts. After graduating, she moved to Germany and got a job in the Charms division of the German Ministry of Magic because there were no open positions in London at the time. She became head of her department and was able to learn more complex spells than she'd ever dreamed while working in Berlin. At this time she met her husband, Moritz Schultz, and married him just a few short months after dating him. They had a son together named Tucker, and Moritz sadly passed away a year after his son's birth.
Heartbroken, Gabi made the rash decision to move back to London and quit her job in Berlin. She lived with her parents for a few years and was able to focus all her attention on raising Tucker before she decided it was time to get a job once more. She applied at the Ministry of Magic and got an entry level position on Level 3.
Even though Gabi had always insisted on keeping her original last name, she recently changed her last name to Schultz, which would have been her married name at the time she married Moritz. She also changed her son Tucker's last name in remembrance of her late husband.
Personality:
Gabi is often shrewd and cunning and able to manipulate people into doing what she wants, keeping her in line with the reputation of her old Hogwarts house. She can come off as snobbish and bitter if you catch her in the wrong mood, but after a while she tends to warm up to people and is much more pleasant than her first impression makes her out to be. She unknowingly tends to look down on people based on appearances but will quickly change her attitude after getting to know someone.
Gabi is also extremely intelligent and continues to study up on charms and transfiguration in her spare time. She is constantly encouraging Tucker to read up on the subjects as well. She is rather strict with her son and is trying to install the idea of hard work and determination into his brain at an early age. She is currently homeschooling Tucker after the Sorting Hat MISTAKENLY sorted her beloved son in to HUFFLEPUFF. While she tries to gather enough information for a lawsuit, she has taken over her son's education so he does not need to endure the humiliation of being sorted in such a wretched house.
