Porpentina Goldstein

Porpentina Esther "Tina" Scamander (née Goldstein ; b. 19 August 1901 ) was an American witch and former Auror for the Magical Congress of the United States of America. She was the wife of famed magizoologist and author Newt Scamander.

Early life
Porpentina Esther Goldstein was born somewhere in the United States of America on 19 August 1901. She had at least one sibling, a younger sister, Queenie. The sisters apparently lost their mother and father at a young age, as they were described as having "raised each other," and consequently they maintained a very strong bond into adulthood.

Porpentina's friends and family called her by the nickname "Tina." She and her sister Queenie may have been Jewish.

Both sisters attended Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Career and marriage
Porpentina worked for the Magical Congress of the United States of America. Originally an Auror, she stood up for somebody of whom her superiors did not approve, and was thus demoted to the position of federal wand permit officer. This job was well below her abilities and personal ambitions. Her sister Queenie also had a menial desk job in the wand permit office.

In 1926, Porpentina was sharing an apartment with her sister at 679 West 24th Street in New York, when she met British magizoologist Newt Scamander, who had come to the city in search of new magical creatures. She eventually married him and moved to the United Kingdom. The couple had at least one child, who in turn gave them a grandson, Rolf.

Later life
As of the late 20th century, she lived with her husband in Dorset with their pet Kneazles: Hoppy, Milly, and Mauler. Following her grandson's marriage to Luna Lovegood, Porpentina became the great-grandmother of twin boys, Lorcan and Lysander Scamander.

Personality and traits
Porpentina apparently had a practical, level-headed personality, being described as "grounded." However, she was also described as being "very soulful" and as having "a lot of heart, strengths, and courage." She was naturally ambitious and had a desire to stand up for what was right.
