Appearance: Diti is a beautiful woman with dark brown hair that falls past her shoulders. Her eyes are a deep brown, and her skin is a warm olive tone. She is tall and slender, with long, graceful limbs. She tries to carry herself with a natural elegance and sophistication. She always looks her best, whether she is dressed up or down - although she is disappointed that she doesn't get as many opportunities to dress up as she would like. She is functionally ambidextrous, which is a benefit in her job.

History: Born in 1861, Aditi Banges grew up in a modest working-class wizarding family in London. She showed an early aptitude for magic, with her first signs of magic occurring at 2. She is sure this means she was meant for great things - well better things than her current station. She displayed remarkable intuition and resourcefulness. As a child, she often found herself tinkering with objects around the house to improve their functionality, much to her family's amusement and pride. These traits laid the foundation for the cunning and clever witch she would become.

Hogwarts Years (1872-1877):
Aditi's acceptance letter to Hogwarts was met with joy and excitement. She was sorted into Slytherin House, where her resourcefulness and ambition flourished. Her intellect and sharp mind quickly made her stand out among her peers, earning her a reputation for cleverness, but in truth her intelligence was hampered by her ambition - she was more than prepared to take short cuts to succeed. In spite of her grades she left after 5 years.

Post-Hogwarts (1877-1882):
After finiahing Hogwarts in 1877, Aditi faced the challenges of finding her place in the wizarding world. Despite her working-class background, her ambition and natural talent for healing magic led her to pursue a career as a medi witch. She completed her training at St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries, where her sharp mind and knack for problem-solving earned her a reputation as a talented mediwitch.

However, Aditi soon realized that the constraints of working within a hospital didn't align with her aspirations. Her desire for influence and financial security led her to transition into the role of a private nurse. She became known for her discreet and effective care, catering to the needs of wealthy and influential wizarding families. Aditi's cunning manipulation skills allowed her to easily win the trust of her clients, becoming an indispensable member of their households.

She married an American, Earnest Golding in 1879, he was training to be a healer and she thought it was her way to a solid middle-class life, but it wasn't what she had hoped. Earnest proved to be very disappointing and in the end he was her first act of 'mercy.' She spread rumours he was addicted to laudanum, so when he was found 'overdosed' no one was entirely surprised. His brother however, did suspect something, and gave her an ultimatum - change her name back to her maiden name, give up any claim for support from their family or the aurors would be notified of their suspicions. She conceded and returned to England.

Financial Gain (1893-Present):
One of Aditi's most remarkable tactics involves leaving a lasting impression on her clients. Over the years, she has cultivated relationships with several wealthy clients who have entrusted her with their care. On the passing of these clients, she has often found herself mentioned in their wills, leaving her sizable inheritances. These "gifts" from clients have further solidified her financial security and allowed her to maintain her standard of living. She pleads poverty but in fact has a sizable nest egg.

In a few instances, Aditi has taken more direct steps to secure her financial future. She's carefully orchestrated the circumstances of her clients' deaths, ensuring that she's well-positioned to benefit from their passing. While these actions may be morally wrong, Aditi justifies them as her way of securing the legacy she feels she deserves.

One particular incident stands out. Aditi had been working for a Mister G. Whitelaw, an elderly gent who she discretly poisoned after Whitelaws friend remarked that he would like her to be his nurse - and he had an unmarried son - not very socially adept son. She went to work for Mister Cooper and his son, where she attempted to convince the man that he was in love with her, using her charisma and calculated charm to sway his feelings. Her goal was to secure a place of influence in his life and potentially marry into a higher social class. While her manipulative tactics didn't lead to a marriage, they did secure her a substantial sum before she moved on to her next endeavor, caring for Mister Rowle

Personality:
Beneath the polished veneer of charm lies a woman driven by ambition and an unyielding desire for prosperity.

Cunning and Resourceful: Her ability to assess situations quickly, devise intricate plans, and adapt on the fly showcases a remarkable cunning. Resourcefulness courses through her veins, allowing her to fashion solutions from the most unlikely of sources.

Calculating Empathy: While Aditi may feign empathy, her understanding of emotions is often deployed as a calculated tactic. She can skillfully mimic genuine care and concern to establish connections, forging bonds that serve her purpose without exposing her true intentions.

Ambition and Entitlement: A burning hunger for success and financial security fuels Aditi's every move. Her ambition knows no bounds, and she believes that she deserves the best life has to offer. This entitlement can sometimes eclipse her moral compass, leading her to justify ethically questionable actions.

Strategic Patience: Aditi plays the long game, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Her patience is a tool she wields masterfully, understanding that some victories require time to ripen and unfold.

Complex Morality: Aditi's sense of right and wrong is a tapestry woven from shades of gray. She views the world through a lens of opportunity and consequence, often justifying her actions as necessary steps toward securing her desired future.

Unyielding Determination: In the face of adversity, Aditi's determination is a beacon that guides her forward. She views challenges as obstacles to be overcome, obstacles that only serve to make her eventual triumph all the sweeter.

Loyalty to Family Legacy: Despite her calculated ambitions, Aditi's loyalty to her family remains steadfast. her modest upbringing reminds her of where she came from. This loyalty fuels her determination to secure a prosperous future, not just for herself and her family. Aditi sees herself as a custodian of her family's honor and a torchbearer of their name, propelling her to reach for greatness in ways that honor her roots. This is based on little except her own hubris.


Other: The family name was Bhangi before the family came to England several generations again. The name has been anglicised.
