Devon was born on November 11, 1972 to muggle parents Ann and Charles Marlowe. She is the first born. One day when Devon is 8, she went into the forest behind her house to play. Her favorite thing to do was to dress up as a witch and pretend she’s writing runes, brewing potions, and doing magic. Suddenly, a death eater came running out from the brush with an Auror chasing close behind. She watched as the death eater killed the auror and then feeling bold she jumped out with her play stick wand surprising the death eater who in a panic cast a lightning spell. Devon is struck and loses her hearing permanently. The spell gives her lightning scars on her shoulder, down her arm and chest, and up her neck and on her cheek on the left side of her body. The death eater runs away thinking she died but she regains consciousness after a few hours and stumbles home in a daze. She panics because she can’t hear anything but her parents calm her down and she writes down what she saw because she can’t hear herself talk or regulate her volume. Her parents go to the forest to check but there isn’t a body so they just think Devon was struck by lightning and it affected her mind along with her pretend game of witches. She learns FSL (French Sign Language) and relies on it most of the time. Being postlingually deaf, she does know how to talk but she doesn’t like to because she can’t control her volume and she doesn’t want to seem not in control. She can say things in an emergency. Devon also learns to read lips.
As she grows up, her magic starts to show itself in the form of legilimency. She starts to hear random words in her head and she is very confused until she realizes it’s not people speaking but their thoughts. She doesn’t tell this to her parents in fear they won’t believe her. When Devon is 10, her brother Asriel is born and her mother Ann dies due to complications. Soon after her family moves back to Britain to be closer to Charlie’s family. She also picks up BSL (British) along with FSL. Devon is overjoyed when her Hogwarts letter arrives when she’s 11. When she gets to Hogwarts she meets two girls called Eirlys Knell and Celia Caprice Li. The trio become instant best friends after causing some mischief together and Devon teaches them some sign. By the end of year 1, all three are fluent in BSL and use it to communicate in secret. Dumbledore also trains Devon personally in legilimens and occlumency so she can use it to know what’s happening around her. She can use it to know when someone is casting a spell at her when she isn’t looking. She struggles somewhat in year 1 with performing spells since she has to skip the verbal phase and go straight into non verbal casting which students don’t learn to do until later years.
-Unassuming and seems small and sweet
-Is actually strong and powerful and not to be challenged
-Warm to most people but sarcastic and mischievous to her close friends
-Like the calm before the storm
-When she gets mad she won’t show much emotion. She won’t scream or yell or cry. She’s silent in her anger
-Very emotionally strong and morally strong. She never wavers from what she knows is right or what she believes in
-She doesn’t like help and will try to do things herself
-Stubborn once she puts her mind to it
-She can speak some things in emergencies but she prefers to sign. She can write down things on paper for those who don’t know sign
-Dumbledore knows sign, Flitwick and Mcgonagall enchant a pair of gloves to sign what they say in class. Snape is an asshole and Devon uses an enchanted quill to write down whatever Snape says so she has notes. After the first few years of dumbledore teaching her to develop legilimens she can read most of everyone's mind to know what they are saying, in combination with reading lips.
-She’s really curious about things like legilimency, divination, ancient runes, and potions which are stereotypical witch stuff. She loved to play witch when she was young and thought they weren’t real.
-Her lightning scars glow a very faint cyan/blue in the dark and have sort of barely there wisps of Magic like patronuses because they are magical scars from a spell.
-As a kid she did figure skating and she enjoys to skate on the frozen Great Lake at Hogwarts in the winter
-She also loves photography because if she can’t have auditory senses then she will focus on visual senses and see beautiful things.
-During the war she joins the Order and creates an underground newspaper to spread facts and combat the propaganda. It has no name but is referred as “The Phoenix Paper” by the readers as the only identifying mark is a rune of a Phoenix.
-She uses Eirlys’s pub as a safe house where she prints. It's guarded with all manner of enchantments and a code word to keep out death eaters. Only people trusted on the side of the Order are let in.
-Devon acts as a secret keeper to the location of where the newspapers are printed (the pub) and the symbol of the paper itself which lets people see the words on the parchment. Since she only signs, it's harder for people to get the information from her. It would need to be written down or someone would have to understand BSL which would infuriate the death eaters as they would require time to find a translator.
-Her code name during the war that she uses as a disguise is “Ruby”, after the red cows sometimes referred to as a “Devon Ruby”. She uses this as her authors signature in the Paper and the occasional times she has a segment on Potterwatch.
