Biography
After finding that nothing was left for her in the town she once called home, with the money she inherited from her grams, Bonnie set out and traveled the world. Some of it at least. During her travels she met and made many friends , as well as some enemies, all of whom helped her learn even more not only about her magic but herself as well.
When she decided it was time for her to settle down, Bonnie made her new home in New Orleans. It wasn’t until her doing so did she find out that her family had significant ties to the city. Finding some comfort with this knowledge, it didn’t take her long to settle in.
Despite residing in the same city as the Mikaelson family, Bonnie lived her life keeping herself separated and avoiding the siblings as much as possible. Over the years Bonnie returned to school, eventually earning her doctorate degree, allowing her to follow in her grams footsteps, becoming a Professor of Occult Studies.
Though happy to have her childhood friends closer, knowing just how dangerous the city can be for those who hardly know it, deep down she continues to possess the moral obligation of making sure that no harm comes their way. However, now older, she knows how important it is to pick her battles wisely.
