Biography: Violetta Bulstrode married into the Black family at a young age. She was only 15 when her parents matched her with Cygnus Black II, a boy two years young than her. They were married three years later, a few days before Cygnus's sixteenth birthday. Her young husband was never happy with Violetta -- perhaps it was her boyish figure, strong shoulders or square face ("You look nothing like a delicate violet," he often reminded her). Maybe it was her intelligence that intimated him or the way she easily dismissed all of his ideas due to his "youth." Whatever the cause, their marriage was not a happy one, though it did result in four children. Violetta favored her oldest son, Pollux, and was neglectful of the other three, especially her two daughters who looked nothing like her. Tragically, Violetta died almost 20 years before her husband. Pollux raised a fuss about it, claiming his mother had been in perfect health (she was only 32 years of age, after all) but nothing ever came of it. Instead, she remained only a memory -- and not always a fond one.
