BIOGRAPHY
MADAME MIRABELLAÂ ZABINI, never MADEMOISELLE. She is a married woman, after all, seven times over, even if she has never taken a single one of her husbandsâ names.
Mirabellaâs parents died when she was young, and so she was raised instead by a coterie of wealthy older relatives scattered across the continent who took varying degrees of responsibility. She adopted much the same indulgent yet hands-off approach with her own son BLAISE. One of the few lessons she ensured to impart to him: make sure they never see you flinch.
While she had her choice of schools, Mirabella attended Beauxbatons and excelled in her studies when she could be bothered with them. Men flocked to her, but women didnât often miss her predatory streak, eyeing her warily in the corridors, clutching their books closer. She never had friends, but she had never wanted them. She knew what she wanted.Â
Just out of school, she married her first husband, a much older man. He bored her to death, so she took all his money and then returned the favor. Her second husband was a little younger and even wealthier. He ended up in a coffin, and again she lined her coffers.
Third time was the charm--or dangerously close to it. He was painfully English, and they lived in a cottage, and she tried to love him. She gave their son a French name just to piss him off. When he died within a few years of Blaiseâs birth, she was almost relieved. It might have broken her heart to do the deed herself.Â
Husbands four through seven lasted between a few months and a few years. She gained properties in her name and stacks and stacks of gold. The whispers grew, too, but that never warned the men--and the odd, less canny woman--away for long enough.Â
Some of the rumors are true, and sheâll never tell which, but she will insist until her grave that she has never needed a love potion or a locket or an Imperius Curse to make anyone do exactly what she wanted and nothing less.
Sheâs not beyond an Unforgivable, of course. Sheâs not beyond anything. And that boredom, always lurking below the surface, may drive her to new depths of ruthlessness.
She is currently a Death Eater in the inner circle. She wears a lionâs head ring, the new Dark Mark, since she remained neutral during the First and Second War and never took the tattoo.Â
