Early Life (1979 - 1991)

Her childhood was rather happy.

Daphne’s parents divorced shortly after she was born, so she’d had no memory of them being together. As she grew up, she came to see them as friends, and partners only in the sense of raising her. While they might’ve had their arguments-- about what Daphne was taught, where she would go to school, Daphne was always kept out of them to shelter her and keep her from thinking of them as anything but always in complete agreement.

Her visits to her mother shifted from every two weeks for two weeks to a week a month as she grew older, mostly in response to some childish questions to spend more time with Astoria. (They were taken a bit out of context, but at a young age, Daphne was prone to miscommunication) While at times, she might wish that could could play with her mother more often or visit her longer, she was always distracted by some new trick or idea of Astoria’s, and usually stifled the uncomfortable emotions.

Hogwarts years (1991 - 1998)

She’d been near acquaintances with Pansy Parkinson, though they hadn’t know each other very well. When they both were Sorted into Slytherin, Daphne quickly attached herself to to more assertive girl, figuring that Pansy’s strong personality would draw others to them.

She mostly stayed under the radar, biting her tongue when Pansy said something particularly nasty towards some of the less loud members of other Houses, or towards younger students. She didn’t mind teasing Potter’s closer friends-- and did, indeed, sometimes participate in it-- though she would take a step to the side and laugh when Pansy would tease some of their other yearmates.

She didn’t grow much of a backbone for a while, feeling as if Pansy was the only person she could be friends with and it would just be far too awkward to reach out to others when she was already firmly established as one of Pansy Parkinson’s syncopates. Eventually, somehow, she made a shift from having Pansy as her closest friend to having Tracey Davis as her closest friend.

When the Dark Lord came back to power, Daphne’s mother took more interest in raising her daughter with different morals. Deborah Goldstein had a very low opinion of the type of pureblood her daughter was spending most of her time with, and had a quite blunt talk with her about how her heritage should change her mind, and decided to also show pictures to hammer in comparisons. Because of this, Daphne became mostly quiet, doing her damnedest to not draw much attention to herself in any way, shape, or form, until her Seventh year.

The Recent War (1998)

While she would often mouth off in Muggle Studies against Alecto Carrow, it always was more to irritate her than to really take a side-- to laugh at her, bring the classroom to do so as well. If she was called upon to give detention, she would merely pretend as if she was Cruciating the younger students. When the Battle of Hogwarts happened, she fled to save her own skin, knowing she'd be easily defeated in duels if she had been altruistic and brave enough to fight.
