Araminta possesses bright blue eyes, high cheekbones, a soft jawline and auborn hair. Her figure is notably thin and still lacks womanly curves and a corset hardly helped her. Though it might seem impossible to distinguish her from her twin, if one looks closely they might notice that Araminta has lighter skin and is shorter as she stands at a height of five feet and six inches, a half inch shorter than Bella It is also noticeable that she carries herself with grace. Araminta cares a lot with how she looks and likes to showcase her upbringing.Her fashion choices are of the latest trends in muggle society though on some occasion she does like to wear robes and her hair is always neatly placed in an updo. She is capable of using both hands in writing and wand work but she prefers her right.
1868| Araminta and Annabelle are born as the second and third child of the family. Despite the Victorian belief that twins were unlucky, the pair were a delightful addition to the family.1869|Barely three months old, Annabelle was kidnapped while the pair were out for a walk because their nanny was absent minded. Despite the family’s long search, Bella was never found and is taken by muggles.
1870| As the only daughter left, she was spoiled rotten and showered with gifts and attention by her family.
1873| Julius is sent to Hogwarts and is sorted in Ravenclaw. Minty was secretly bitter about it because her only sibling was sent away.
1874-1876| Araminta is raised to be the epitome of femininity by the many governess and tutors hired by the Scrimgeour family. She grew skilled in the arts, music and dancing. She especially enjoyed playing the piano for her mother and father.
1877| Muggles discover magic and they moved to Hogsmeade. She also displays her first sign of magic when she made her teapot explode while playing with a cousin.
Araminta is also told of the story of her dead twin sister. She had always felt that there was someone missing in her life and she finally found the answer. Since then Minty sometimes daydreamed of a life were Annabelle lived. Her playtimes and lessons with the governess would’ve been brighter.
1880| The day that she was sent to Hogwarts was a really strange one. While waiting for her time to be sorted, a girl whom she closely resembled to whom the Deputy Head called out as Matilda Draper was sorted in Gryffindor. She never felt so confused and hopeful in her life. Could this girl possibly be her dead twin or had she gone mad? But everyone else could tell how identical they were. Oh, she was also sorted to Slytherin but she was too distracted on finding out the real identity of her look alike.
She writes home to inform her family of her discovery and it is confirmed that Miss Draper is indeed Annabelle Scrimgeour.
1880-1881| Delighted to finally find her other half, Araminta eagerly tries to get to know her twin but Bella seems to be overwhelmed and pressured with everything. Her new life, new family and new expectations. She tries again but this time slower and in a less aggressive way and they did form some sort of relationship but they were never grew close to her disappointment. Despite her failure with her sister, she manages to befriend other students that she deemed appropriate.

1885| Minty takes her OWLs and is happy to get good marks but she is disappointed of not being appointed as prefect.
1886| She returns for her NEWTs and drops Astronomy and Ancient Studies.
1887| Minty and Bella graduate and become debutantes. It is when she realized how socially awkward she was around the opposite gender but she tries her to be the charming social butterfly that her parents expect her to be. If the season was difficult for her, it was much worse for Bella and the stress had affected her twin’s health and mood. A month later, Bella was sent away to Aunt Laverna and had somehow convinced their parents to work in St. Mungos. She hardly approved of her sister moving away but if it made her twin happy, so be it.
1888| Witch Weekly talks about Bella’s rumoured relationship with Rueben Crouch and she was quite concerned with the people Bella associates with but she also believes that the magazine is lying. Everyone else though seemed to believe the gossips- including their father. The situation that her sister created embarrass her even more considering that people either ask her about Bella or mistake her as Bella.
She is determined to help Bella find her stability and clear her sisters head before her father disowns her but before she could do that Argus lashes out on her twin forcing Bella to run away creating more drama for the family.
