Grawp
One of Sirius's cousins and a prominent Death Eater. She escapes from Azkaban after Christmas with other Death Eaters and returns to serve Voldemort. When Harry meets her in the Department of Mysteries, he thinks that she was once beautiful, but Azkaban robbed her of her looks. She is exceptionally cruel and devoted to Voldemort, and kills Sirius by cursing him and throwing him backwards through the arch. For this, Harry attempts to perform the Cruciatus Curse on her.
