Iola Black

Iola Hitchens (née Black) (b. 10th May 1852) is an English Pure-Blood witch and sister of Sirius I, Phineas Nigellus and Elladora Black. She was born a few months after her father Cygnus Black I's untimely death and raised singlehandedly by her mother Ella Max, who was cold and distant to the genteel Iola. When she was 17, Iola met Bob Hitchens, a Muggle farmer, after she failed her Apparation exam and landed in the wrong field. The two began to see each other in secret and, after a few months, they eloped -- causing Iola to be blasted off the family tapestry by her horrified relatives. She is still, after all these years, estranged from her family and lives a generally mundane life on her farm.
