Background / History

Daphne is the eldest direct-line daughter of the Greengrass Family, a wealthy pure-blood house aligned with the neutral faction of British wizarding families. Unlike supremacist families, the Greengrasses value talent, conduct, and upbringing over blood status, while maintaining considerable political and commercial influence. Her father, Gareth Greengrass, sits on the Wizengamot and later becomes one of Hogwarts' governors. 119 121

The women of the Greengrass line carry a hereditary Blood Curse inflicted by a dark wizard a century earlier. Daphne's mother was a Maledictus who died while Daphne was young. The curse never activated in Daphne, but it severely affects her younger sister Astoria. 55 73

She first meets Skylar Malfoy aboard the Hogwarts Express with her friend Meredith Shafiq. Afterward, Daphne explores Hogwarts with Skylar, helps defend Meredith from Pansy Parkinson's bullying, and joins Skylar and Meredith in a close school friendship. 27 28 30

Recognizing Skylar's ambitions and potential, Daphne approaches him on behalf of her family to offer preliminary support. She provides a Forbidden Forest map and later delivers the Greengrass bloodline-research materials he requests. 55 63
