Biography[]

Early life (1862-1873)[]

Euphemia was born on 13 May, 1862, to Theseus Parkinson and Blanche Parkinson (née Dreesen) in York, Yorkshire, England. She had an older brother, Quintus, born in 1859, and three older sisters: Zelia; born in 1854, Ada; born in 1855, and Nigella; born in 1857. Her mother was a Belgian pure-blood witch of the Dreesen family, originally from the Netherlands. Her father, Theseus Parkinson, was a member of the English wizarding House of Parkinson, a member of the Sacred Twenty-Eight.

Hogwarts years (1873-1877)[]

Euphemia received her Hogwarts letter in the summer of 1873. Before attending, she purchased a wand from Ollivander's in Diagon Alley made of an unknown wood and core.

She was sorted into Slytherin House on 1 September, 1873, and left the school before her fifth year in 1877.

Marriage and children (1877-1883)[]

Euphemia was arranged to marry Archibald Bulstrode, an English pure-blood wizard in her year at school. The marriage was believed to have been rushed, marrying when Euphemia was but sixteen. The two married in November 1877, and their daughter Elizabetha was born on 14 April, 1878, just five months later.

Their second child was born two years later- Violetta, on 5 September, 1880. In 1883, they managed to have a son- who they named Theodore Cornelius Bulstrode.

Later life (1883-1924)[]

Euphemia lived a quiet life with her husband in the countryside until her unexpected death in 1924.

Physical appearance[]

Euphemia was rumoured to have been extremely beautiful. Like her mother, who was foreign, she exhibited seemingly "exotic" European qualities. Many thought at the time that Euphemia had some Veela ancestry, which would make her, not-human.
