Feedback: Yes
As children, Callidora was her not only her older sister, but her best friend. Callidora protected her from some of the harsher realities of being part of a Pure-blood family, and she never thought she'd lose Callidora's support. She thought Callidora's affection was unconditional. She was very wrong.
She didn't follow the normal traditions of the Black family and chose to marry for love. Not only did she marry for love, but she chose to marry Septimus Weasley, a wizard considered a blood traitor by her family. She couldn't help that she fell in love with him, but it didn't stop her sisters and parents turning away from her. She lost her best friend's lover in her desire to be with Septimus.
She was disowned and removed from the Black family tree tapestry. Cedrella was forced to put her family behind her and make a new family with her husband. She lived to see all of her children marry and even met a couple of her grandchildren. Unfortunately, she wouldn't live to meet all of her grandchildren, but she knew she died while having a loving family.
