NEW FIONA BACKSTORY JUST DROPPED

Okay so in the book it says that she got chased out of her town bc they thought she was a witch bc of her peculiarity but that makes no sense bc this isn’t the Salem witch trials this is Ireland in the famine, there gonna want some food. (Also the supernatural isn’t exactly bad? Idk how to explain it w out making this post rly long) so basically around the age of 11 she got her peculiarity right smack dab in the middle of the famine so of course her family is like “you should help us and the town even more w gardening”. And her town flourishes despite the famine, so ofc the landlords (the brits🤮) are like « hold up wait a minute smthn ain’t right » and the landlord of Fiona’s family’s house eventually hears abt this girl who can grow plants w magic . For a few yrs he watches her family close until he sees her use her powers and he tells her family that he’s gonna evict them if they don’t give him Fiona (who’s around 14 rn) they don’t give him her ofc so they get evicted but when they aren’t looking he kidnaps Fiona anyway and takes her to the « big house » (the brits🤮 plantation)she works there for a few months but eventually escapes (idk how yet) then she runs away until she gets to Hugh farm and meets him in a field of flowers<3
