Overall history: Elizabeth Bracknel Finch was born to one of the better wizarding families in 1899. She attended Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry and went to finishing school in America. Through her youth she traveled many times to the continent and to America due to her father being the English Ministry Ambassador, and in doing so, gained a wealth of knowledge of the different ways cultures, and uses of witches & wizards of other countries. Elizabeth was a beautiful woman in her day and very fashionable which prooved to help her in landing a nice internship in the Ministry. There she met her future husband Stratford, which began one of the greatest love stories of the century. Elizabeth and Stratford were married soon and began a glorious life, settling back in Gloucestershire. Though they were never blessed with children, they spoiled their nieces and nephews and Elizabeth left the ministry in aid of backing her husband and his career. She kept busy though with different witch societies and causes. Elizabeth in her time was a leading potionist and herbalist and inherited her knack for charms from her father. She and her husband lead a rather pleasant, lovely life until the great wars of the wizarding world with the Dark Lord. Elizabeth was very instrumental in hiding refugees and adverting/foiling plans of deatheaters. In the great war, Elizabeth lost her sister/her family and her mother and dad, leaving her a some what bitter woman. She still had her beloved Stratford, but it wasn't the same Stratford before the war. The Deatheaters had taken him and tortured him left him for dead. His physical health was mostly ammended, but his metal health was then strained. Elizabeth took care of her dear Stratford until his death and she felt somewhat blessed when he passed for he didn't have to suffer anymore. Since his death in 2048, Elizabeth has retained her home in Tetbury, though she travels quite often visitng friends and speaking/attending this society or that. She remains quite a passionate, firery woman, but privately of course.
