It was surprising how much a single person's existence could change so much, but then again, it was not every day someone reborn with foreknowledge decides to play Seer and mess with what is to come.

It was quite a shock to Gardenia when she realized exactly when she had been born. Not only she was born during a war, but apparently, she was born before the timeline of the books she had to guide her current life.
It didn't take long for her to make the connection that besides vague details of who she used to be and how she had died, the one thing she remembered with clarity was the story in which she has been inserted. So the fact she was two years ahead of schedule made a mark.
All of this distressed her quite a bit. Her previous life, for all that she could remember of it, had been quite normal, if a tad boring. But this did not mean she was in any way excited to now be part of a world which was currently immersed in a civil war, and that even though there would be a brief period of peace, things would get a lot worse in the future. And to top it all off, she could not do anything about it.
Even with all her knowledge, which included details that she could swear she did not remember ever reading about, she was currently a baby, and quite incapable of doing anything that would amount to something in this state. When the story officially began in a bit more than a decade, she would be in her teenage years and would be able to act, but that did not quell her want to change things before a child was orphaned, an innocent man went to jail and many other lives that did not make into the official story were ended.
Alas, that was not possible. Even if she was able to change those things, that would affect everything she knew, and result in Voldemort not being defeated, and who knows what would happen then.
So Gardenia was forced to begrudgingly accept the reality of her situation, even if it made her quite sad that she was for all intents and purposes, useless for the time being.
The thought of never acting in her knowledge did rear its head a few times, and Gardenia did consider it, but she couldn't say if it was a sense of justice, attachment to what she knew of the people that used to be just characters, or simply the fact that no matter what, her life would end up entangled with the conflicts that had yet to come, but she couldn't simply ignore the chance she had been given.
Of course, it could also be said that one of the reasons she would want to work to change things at all is because she found out who exactly her family was.
Her full name was Gardenia Mimosa Fawley, much to her displeasure. Her first name was alright, she supposed, not the most common when it came to flower names, but considering the Wizarding World and the type of names that some children ended up with, it could have been a lot worse. But Mimosa? Not her favorite. What was she, a cow? And she honestly thought one plant-related name was more than enough.
It was not her father's family that made her pause and reconsider her future though. It was her mother that put things into perspective because while she was now named Lucy Fawley, her maiden name was Tonks.
