Celebrity Face Claim: don't know her name; she was in an online LaRedoute catalog
Physical appearance: Storm is about 5’ 7” tall, rather thin, and has long curly dark blonde hair and vivid blue eyes. She is tanned and freckled, from her frequent trips into the country to gather herbs and other plants for her shop
are you who you say you are;
Personality:
By nature, Storm is very laid-back and easygoing, with a down-to-earth sense of humour. Her time Azkaban made her more cautious about who she trusts; she still doesn't know who it was who set her up, though she has her suspicions. However, in many ways, the experience has sharpened her love of life - she is determined to make up for the lost years, and to make the most of her reprieve, sometimes to the point of recklessness.
Storm is not married, and does not have a steady boyfriend, but she has lots of one-nighters. She has lots of male friends, and gets on extremely well with men in general, and they tend to treat her as 'one of the boys' - but she never lets them forget that she's still a girl under her robes!

never judge a book by it's cover;
Though normally very open and outgoing, there is one subject that Storm doesn't discuss with anyone - her real name. When she was born, her parents rashly agreed to let her two older sisters - then aged 4 and 7 - pick her names... Let's just say it's fortunate that the volatile temper she had as a small child gained her the nickname Storm. Even her closest friends don't know what's written on her birth certificate!
how's your life been;
Father's Name: John Vedis

Siblings:
Two older sisters - Catherine and Ellen
Two younger brothers - Andrew and Sam
History:
Storm Vedis was born in Ottawa, Canada, to a muggle family. She was always considered a bit odd by her family (two older sisters and two younger brothers) but all became clear when she received her letter at the age of 10. She spent four years at the Wizarding Senior Elementary School north of Thunder Bay, Ontario. When it was time for high school at 14, Storm won a scholarship to study at Hogwarts, and has lived in Britain ever since. She started at Hogwarts in Fourth year and took OWLs and NEWTs.
In Fifth year, when she was only sixteen, Storm became pregnant; this was the final straw for her family - already very uncomfortable with having a witch in the family - who told her they wanted nothing more to do with her. However, the staff at Hogwarts were very supportive. She had the baby - a girl - whom she gave up for adoption, as she felt it was best for both her and the child. She does not regret having done so, but she still hopes that one day she will have the chance to meet her daughter, who would be around twenty now.
After leaving school, she trained as a healer at St Mungos, specializing in midwifery, and then spent a number of years working in a small specialist hospital over on Matern Alley, delivering a large number of infant witches and wizards.
About 5 years ago, Storm was arrested by Aurors, accused of a particularly nasty piece of dark magic called the Chain of the Beast. It's an ancient invocation, that involves conjuring a demon to inhabit another person's body. Despite her claims of innocence, she was given a life sentence and sent to Azkaban. She spent almost 3 years there, before being released after her innocence was proved; the person who actually cast the Chain of the Beast set Storm up to take the blame. Unusually, she received compensation for her ordeal.
Unable to go back to her old job - despite being innocent, the hospital administrators felt that her time in Azkaban could have unbalanced her - she used a chunk of her compensation to buy the old Apothecary shop on Diagon Alley.
The first thing she did was to gut the shop and perform a super-strength Scourgify on it. She has always felt that most wizard apothecary shops look (and smell) more like muggle bait shops! Her shop is different - clean and bright, with potions and ingredients in neatly-labeled bottles and boxes, and loose ingredients in hundreds of small drawers lining one side of the shop. She has a license to fill prescriptions issued by St Mungos (or any other healer). In addition, she supplies Potions kits and ingredients to Hogwarts students. Although she occasionally has to mix up potions that stink, her shop usually smells of baking bread or fresh coffee. Out behind her shop is a small garden, where she grows her own supplies of herbs that she'll need in large quantities, or that are best used fresh. Her best-seller is her hangover cure, which she developed herself.
Storm has a new part-time assistant in the person of Scorpius Malfoy. After learning that Rose was pregnant, and that Scorpius was prepared to do whatever he had to to stand by her, Hermione Weasley spoke to Storm, and arranged for Scorpius to work for Storm in the holidays.
Storm also delivered Rose & Scorpius's new daughter, Hermione.
Storm owns a large, shaggy and very affectionate Old English Sheepdog called Moose, who she found as a stray puppy and adopted.
