Too late for a prayer,
We can’t go to Hell if we’re already there. [/i][/sup][/center]

[indent]Born and raised in the Sixth Borough, April spent her childhood exploring city streets both magical and mundane, her younger twin close on her heels. The only daughters of Gideon Kaufman, a respected wandmaker, and Miriam Kaufman, a Mediwitch, April and May had a happy, albeit modest, childhood. 

Of the two, April was the leader, through sheer force of personality. May was quiet, but clever, and her sweet nature and quick wit got the pair out of trouble as often as April’s impulses got them into it. Disagreeing on almost every interest, from Quodpot team to colour, they were nevertheless extremely close.

Placed into different units at Blackgate, April and May grew in their own directions. Where May was clever and charming, April’s shit eating grin and penchant for black eyes did little to win her professor’s affections. Despite her behavioral issues, April earned top marks in dueling and transfiguration. 

After a brief stint attempting to apprentice under her father (and his extremely polite request that she find [i]something else[/i] to do), April was tapped as a Patrol Officer for AB-DENS. She spent five years as a beat cop; checking on parolees, enforcing ordinances, and doing a lot of bitchwork. The bitchwork, and her familiarity with the Sixth Borough and its residents, eventually got her picked up as an Auror Select and pushed through training.

April got the sense that it was something of a joke; luckily, she was used to being underestimated. Despite being perpetually late, incapable of ass kissing, and something of a hot mess, she [i]was[/i] good—especially at finding people trying not to be found. She earned the promotion (and the fancy leather jacket!) and a reputation for getting results—even if her methods are…unconventional.[/indent]
