Miss Gaunt

Pregnant and desperate, Merope considers pawning her only valuable possession - the priceless family heirloom, Slytherin's locket.

Part of why I like the later Potter books is to get a grasp of Voldemort's past. I was enraptured by the plight of Merope, and though she isn't the quintessential strong, empowering female character, her situation is something I think many people can relate to, and I think every woman can understand her hopelessness and despair that came of a love that was never meant to be.
