Jocasta Greengrass

Jocasta Medora Greengrass (24 Aug 1687 - 5 Nov 1695) was a pure-blood witch, the tenth child and fifth daughter of Lysander Greengrass VI and Evandra Greengrass (née Ollivander). She had nine older siblings, including Cyrillus Greengrass, Bryonia Abbott (née Greengrass), Corinda Prewett (née Greengrass), Antheia Malfoy (née Greengrass), and Isander Greengrass. Jocasta would be the fourth of her siblings die young.

Early life
Jocasta was born on 24 Aug 1687 at the Greengrass Estate as the fifth daughter and final child of her parents. She got along well with her older sister, Phaedra, but of all of her siblings, she was the closest with Hyperion. The pair were inseperable growing up. Jocasta was one of the very few of her siblings to take after their father.

Death
Jocasta unfortunately passed away on 5 Nov 1695 from dragon pox, at the age of 8. Her family was devestated with the untimely death of another child. Her parents refused to have any more children shortly thereafter. She died unmarried and without issue.

Etymology
Latinized form of (Iokaste), with an unkown meaning. Jocasta was the mother of Oedipus, King of Thebes, whom he unwittingly married. Jocasta is also a moon of Jupiter.

The surname Greengrass is of English topographical origins and would have denoted one who lived at a hamlet so named. The derivation is from the Old English pre 7th Century words 'grene,' meaning 'green' and 'groes,' meaning grass.
