Mae Smethwyck
Ever since the day her older sister Myrtle found out she was a witch, Mae had been longing to discover her own magic. She imagined herself as a magical princess, living in a castle with herds of unicorns frollicking on the grounds. When she finally got her acceptance letter to Hogwarts, she could barely contain her excitement.
The wizarding world turned out to be different from how she imagined it though - for starters there were no magical princesses. But she still lived in a castle, and being able to fetch her slippers with a wave of her wand made her dream of having servants redundant. She embraced the wizarding world fully, just like her older sister had did, and soon got just as estranged from her Muggle parents as her sister had done. Though Mae did it for a different reason - she found them doing normal chores by hand beneath her.
She took a job as a Welcome Witch at St Mungo’s after graduating, but spent most of her time at high society parties, lying about her blood purity and looking for a husband. It was at one of these were she met Ambrose Smethwyck, son of the Head of the Department of Magical Games and Sports. The couple married, and Mae resigned from St Mungo’s, fully committed to being a housewitch.
Mae spent the rest of her days in the family home, religiously reading and writing in letters to Witch Weekly, embroidering beautiful curtains, and breeding smooth-coated Crups. She didn’t want more in life, and she was happy just staying at home. Her sister Myrtle was so frustrated with Mae’s lack of ambition, that not before long the two sisters stopped speaking entirely.

Relatives
The three sisters of the up-to-then Muggle family didn't always see eye to eye. One took her newfound magic to do something meaningful, the other used it to fetch her slippers. The third one tried to be the mediator, but never really managed to accomplish a truce.
The Smethwyck family is full of excellent fliers, Ministry personnel, and skilled potioneers. But not even though some of the family's members rose to fame within the wizarding community, not all fared so well.
