Wisteria was born to a wealthy family consisting of herself, her mother and father and a half-brother who was 7 years older than her. She lived a relatively peaceful life as the younger child but never fully got along with her brother who was being trained for the sole reason of taking over the family business therefore never having the time to play with her. While her brother was being trained in business and politics, Wisteria found interest in physical activities such as sports and combat, focusing more on playing around and roughhousing with her friends and maybe some other unfortunate neighborhood kids. Discovering her ability to manipulate the effects of dust using her semblance her parents hired a renowned aura specialist to help her control and train her ability at an early age but due to her tendency to be hot headed there were often times when her parents would come home to see a hole in the wall or a blackened portion of the training field forcing them to send her to an Academy specializing in combat to train under more proper conditions.
During her stay at the academy she was quite popular among both the students and the teachers due to her skill with ‘spell’ casting making her almost like a celebrity in terms of fame but more notably due to her hotheadedness. She would often be asked to join in various tournaments and events and often come out victorious thereby increasing her popularity throughout the area. After coming home for vacation a few months after she would proudly show off her medals and brag of her achievements but her older brother Arthur never gave a word of praise and would snob her off if she tried to talk to him about it. In a fit of anger she challenged Arthur to a duel knowing very well of his private combat lessons that came along side his education and felt confident that she would trump him in single combat due to her boosted pride. Just as she thought she was about to win she was defeated and laid flat on the ground with a sword to her neck, Arthur hovering above her looked at her with a sad look on his face before he finally left. A few days after the duel he left for a different kingdom to expand the family business leaving without even saying bye to his sister but left her a note that praised her for her efforts and also saying sorry for his coldness towards her. After a a few months she finally understood why he only sent the letter after he left. She found out that he wouldn't be coming back for a long time and perhaps wouldn't be able to see the family again until after a few years, therefore he acted cold towards Wisteria to prevent her feeling sad about his departure. Knowing that he'd probably be able to come back after relations and expansions steady out in the other country she vowed to be something he'd be proud of when he comes back, dedicating herself to becoming a huntress and also be able to bring honor to her family and more so, Arthur. After her stay at her academy she decided to take her training to the next level and go to Beacon to fulfill her dreams of becoming a huntress.
