History
Cali was born in San Francisco, California to a single mother, Carol Anne Riley Benoit. Carol married a young French man who was, unknowingly by Carol, French wizarding royalty. The Benoit’s were highly involved in starting up the French Ministry of Magic. The Benoit family’s youngest son Jaime chose to stray away from the family business of politics and fell in love with an American muggle-born tourist. They eloped, but when the Benoit’s found out about the marriage they forced Carol to leave without any notice, abandoning her young husband. A young mother and alone Carol brought Cali up as a normal muggle girl. Not telling her anything of her true identity. Cali always thought she was different from the other children in elementary school, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it. When she turned ten years old Cali’s father found her in a muggle shopping mall. He recognized her Carol and they were reunited. He explained how he had been searching for Carol since her leaving and that he had left the family, Cali got to meet her grandparents for the first time in the fall of 1987, and they are being accepting of Carol since she has bared them and heir. Cali was incredibly excited to have received her letter from Beauxbatons because she is able to carry on a family tradition, and is well on her way to living up to the Benoit name. She is very nervous about going to school. Her French is shaky at best because she has only begun learning it within the past year. She fears that she will not meet people very easily at this foreign school. Until school begins she lives in the south of France (Marseille) with her mother and father, and in close vicinity to her father’s siblings and parents.[/right][/size]
