1865 - 1877: Fallon is born to two parents who really ought to not have had more than the one child they already had. Money is always scarce and life is tough for the two kids. Fallon clings to Kieran's side like a fly to a horse's backside. He's her one constant in this insane world, and when Daniel is born in 1870 her clingy nature only gets that much worse. Between the tensions brewing between her parents and the constant shuffling between the nanny's house and home Fallon develops a defiant streak tempered only by Kieran's presence. Seamus's arrival in 1875 fractures the family to the point of near break. Fallon takes to pretending her two younger brothers don't exist. They have one another, just as she has Kieran.
1877 - 1884: The scholarships she receives become her saving grace. Fallon has a natural affinity for spell casting and studies with a fierce determination. When her father dies in 1879 she silently debates leaving school to pick up work as a servant of some sort but soon thinks better of it. Their finances will be tight until she graduates, but being able to afford them a better life is worth the temporary strain. (Fallon also has a deep rooted fear of becoming anything like her parents and knows it to be her fate if she doesn't achieve at least her OWLs.) The selfish choice ends up being the best choice for her as school grants her a structure she never had otherwise. The defiance is replaced by a need for organization and structure. The anger fuels her drive. Fallon hustles during the summers, doing any small task that might afford her one extra day at school.
1884 - 1887: Graduation and beginning auror training blends into a blur of activity. Immediately upon receving her exam marks she submits her application for the ministry. Then, hell begins. Fallon is pushed to and beyond her breaking point more times than she'd ever admit to, but still she persists. She didn't work and study as hard as she did to waste her education. Fallon refuses to become anything like her mother, and as though to further prove this point moves into a boarding house as soon as can afford it.
1887 - 1890: Somehow, Fallon miraculously survives her training and becomes a full fledged auror. The hours are long, the situations she's put into are dangerous, but for the first time in her life Fallon is able to make a difference. The work she does matters, which is more than most can say. Her roommate is her lifeline now that Kieran is no longer her constant, though Fallon is certain she'll one day marry and move on like all others do.
