Following Gellert Grindelwald[]

Red Hair Witch

This witch was born sometime before 1927 into a wizarding family. In early September of 1927, she witnessed Grindelwald calling upon his followers in Paris, and was receptive to his call.[2] That same day, she attended Grindelwald's rally in the Lestrange Mausoleum on the Père-Lachaise Cemetery.[1]

Red Hair Witch 2

When Aurors infiltrated the rally, she turned to attack an Auror that stood behind her after becoming enraged at the Aurors' presence. This outburst of anger resulted in not only the Auror in question raising his wand to defend himself, but also her own demise with the Killing Curse which the same Auror cast; which in turn caused Grindelwald to shout out in fury of her slaying.[1]

Legacy[]

Following her death, Gellert Grindelwald requested his other followers to take her corpse to her family, commending her as a "brave young warrior". It can be presumed that this was done in accordance with Grindelwald's request.[1]

Personality and traits[]

Nothing was known about this witch's personality, apart from the fact that she became enamoured of Grindelwald's ideals enough to give her the courage to attack his enemies, though this bravery turned out to be foolishness, leading to her abrupt demise.[1]
