HISTORY:
Born on Umatilla (Rez) (Mission town, Oregon), Mirah was a normal Umatilla native girl of her people learning the old ways well and English at the local school. It wasn't till she turned nine that things began to change. Then two things happened, the first being a rude spoiled girl at school who told her she would never be anything special in front of a bunch of her friends and everyone laughed. That night she had some really bad nightmares which to the concern of her parents, her dolls began acting out on the floor while she slept, and here was the disturbing part, speaking what happened as well. This went on for a week at school while she became isolated from those she had thought friends and threw herself into her school work in an attempt to forget that fact the girl might be right. She was native, a girl, and had no real money (a necessary step in her mind).
This went on for several weeks, her dreams continuing to play out in her toys and her parents asked around for someone used to dealing with the unusual, their requests falling upon the ears of a Native Con artist passing through. He had just returned from England where a con he had been running had fallen through and he was trying to put distance between himself and the mess. Claiming whatever he needed to get to see the phenomenon, when he saw the toys acting out things, he also heard the frustration in her dreams and knew what she was struggling with. A glance at her face told him of a possible solution to his issues. The next day he sat down on the couch with her and explained that he could get her to those who would help this get fixed, but she would have to spend most of the year away from her family and return very infrequently. Letter writing she would be allowed, but the school was a very secret place.
With lies and half truths he got the parents around to his side of things while she contemplated the words he had used like 'exclusive' and 'special' and 'unique.' There was little hesitation in her agreeing to go; he had hooked her worst fears and played her well. She traveled with him to New York where several cons later (he taught her the ways of pretending and creating a character which she latched onto eagerly) she had new outfits and for the first time cash in her pockets (though she sent a bunch of it home). Then overseas to England to spend a week while he taught her basic handwriting forgery and what to look for in documents, teaching her how to walk with high posture and the sort of things stuff Englishmen of good breeding looked for. Those who he had worked with before were intrigued by the plot and with their help, she had a crash course in what little they knew about the wizard. They, being muggles, weren't aware of most of the Wizarding world happening around them, but they had found a blind one and gotten his granddaughter away from him with a trick.
But they couldn't keep it up forever. The granddaughter had explained a lot about the way the world operated by magic (having grown up in it she didn't know the details so much as the shape of things), but they had found the galleon in her pocket and sought a way to get more of them for their own value. Switching out the two girls (one who had tons to learn and one who knew a lot to talk about) was accomplished with some effort and Mirah (now Pandora) began learning fast in the ways of this new life. And when the wizard took her to Gringgots to get money from his vault, she scooped into two bags to his unknowing senses. This didn't just excite the men, it gave them promise for much more over time. They moved the granddaughter to another place for long term keeping her isolated and made arrangements for a connection in the Paris modeling world to hear about the girl's looks. The wizard listened as Pandora read out the letter and her enthusiasm caused his to consider it a treat for her.
However one of them spent one of the coins before they were ready drawing the aurors down on the group for some memory blanks. Pandora meanwhile got to go to Paris with one of the Wizard's Squib friends and her looks got her an immediate contract, manager, and an agreement on new clothes. Feeling smug, she found her locker filled with the latest designs for kids and returned to her learning with the wizard and the tutors he hired to get her ready for school, teaching her a few things himself. The first year at Hogwarts was amazing, though she was careful to pretend it was ordinary and her attitude mixed with her clothes got her friends better then any the girl back at her old school could have gotten. She felt rich, looked rich, and acted as if she were rich (not hard for a first year to play off actually), so people believed it.
Now in her fifth year, Pandora has found her 'father's' will and changed much of it, kept up a steady correspondence with her mother (her family came and visited her last year with funds she sent over, a tricky arrangement but she managed it), established herself as a teen model in the muggle world (and gotten some nibbles in the wizarding one as well actually), and stashed a good amount of coins in her own vault. She still wonders however what happened to the men (she never knew about what happened to the man's granddaughter; she died locked away because of the men forgetting about their hiding spot and was not found for some time), but she has established herself a new personality and position and as the only heir to her 'grandfather' a pureblood line as well. With luck she can nail down a wealthy pureblood boy without a great curiosity and get the marriage jackpot to boot!
