Biography

"STOP SPELL SUPPRESSION!"

— One of Carlotta's activism signs.^[src]

It was Ms. Pinkstone's belief that the annulment of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy (established by the International Confederation of Wizards in 1692) and consequent mixing of the wizarding and Muggle societies was opportune and convenient in the 20th century. As such, she became a vigorous activist for that cause, and deliberately and unlawfully used magic indiscriminately in public places, in full sight of Muggles, which led to a series of convictions and imprisonments in Azkaban.

Pinkstone was still alive by the 1990s, by which time she was featured on a Chocolate Frog Card, which pictured her symbolically in shackles.
