Mudiwa Onai is a character in Hogwarts Legacy.
Biography[]
Mudiwa lived in Matabeleland, Africa with her husband and their daughter, Natsai Onai, and taught Divination at Uagadou. However, when Natsai was 9, her husband was killed right in front of Natsai while Mudiwa was away, tending to a sick neighbor. Mudiwa was shaken by this, having always trusted in her gifted Seer abilities which didn't foretell of her husband's murder. After her husband's death, she refused to transform into her animagus form.
A few years later, she was reached out to by Matilda Weasley, who she knew of but never personally met, about an open position at Hogwarts for a Divination professor. Mudiwa saw this as perfect timing, as she'd just foreseen something that required she and Natsai to leave Uganda, and readily accepted. She then moved to Hogwarts, with her daughter starting her fourth year there.
Using her Seer ability, Mudiwa saw a number of things that would transpire with her daughter, including one where she was riding on winged beasts and another where Natsai would be hurt in her animagus form. When she learned that her daughter was meddling in the affairs of the Rookwood Gang, she tried to get her daughter to stop, not wishing for any harm to come to her, going as far as trying to ban Natsai from leaving the castle in fear she'd run into Harlow and his men. This fell on deaf ears though as, even with Auror Ruth Singer informing Mudiwa about her daughter's latest brazen act that got her temporarily kidnapped, Natsai refused to stop.
Despite all this, Mudiwa wasn't afraid to fight those who threatened her home and joined several of her colleagues in directly confronting Ranrok's Loyalists when they burrowed into the caverns beneath the school in an attempt to get to the final repository.
Sometime after the battle, Natsai sent her mother a note that she was tired of hiding or sidestepping around her mother's wishes and that she was heading out to directly confront Harlow at Manor Cape. Mudiwa and Singer immediately headed out to the location just in time to see Harlow try to hit the new fifth-year student with the Cruciatus Curse and with Natsai leaping in the way via her animagus form, taking the hit instead. Mudiwa then rushed over to her hurt daughter while Ruth had Harlow arrested. Natsai was checked into the school's hospital and Mudiwa checked on her daughter regularly to make sure she was ok.
