So i have decided on Rosetta's faceclaim/on screen depiction
She shall be Meryl Streep, particularly young Meryl streep, considering her and Severus would canonically be in their early 30's (although everyone was made a little older but still)
(Side note: I'm not entirely sure that first picture or 2 is actually her? I got all of the pictures off Google)
Just imagine her with much lighter blonde almost white hair, and violet eyes.
I also present you this picture of Alan Rickman and Meryl Streep, so it could work
So this is kinda a prompt but also food for thought
For those with Oc's from media that is from movies or shows based on books, comics or manga. How do you think the character would be portrayed differently from page to screen?
Its frequent that studios will make small or large changes for several reasons. So do you think your character may also have changes? (Different eyes color to entire personality or design changes)
Side note: I actually can't decide when in the story I would like for Severus and Rosetta to have their baby, I want them to have a daughter but it may be complicated depending on the story (i'm open to ideas)
So I've decided to write Rosetta and Lily evens/potter as friends with a very Sun and Moon dynamic, Lily as very bright and vibrant. Rosetta as a more soft and gentle glow. And in a way, thats how Severus sees them. Very different but still equally as important and loved, even though he ends up with Rosetta in the end.
I feel like making them friends makes Rosetta's desire to raise harry (and going so far as begging Dumbledore to do so) make much more sense, and her reasoning for being in the potter house that night with Severus a lot more meaningful beyond just loving snape.
More sketches with some important (except for how funny Snape looks)
Ill also include an introduction of Rosetta
Appearance: she is most known for her long wavey platinum blonde hair, her violet eyes, and pale skin. She has a soft look and she looks young for her age (same age as Professor Snape) she also has a very owl like appearance
Personality: she is soft, very sweet, Gentle, but strongly cunning and ambitious. And incredibly resourceful.
Background: Rosetta was homeschooled prior to going to Hogwarts, she was taught by her parents who were muggle doctors so she initially had a strong ambition towards the medical field until she got her letter for Hogwarts. She went to Hogwarts and was put in slytherin house where she met and fell in love with Severus Snape.
Short facts:
-animagus (snowy owl)
-expert in healing magic
-noticed odd magical happenings as a kid such as her healing faster and but often see owls inside her house at unusual times of the day
-primarily works with the school nurses (in the hospital wing)
Question to those who ship their Harry potter OC with Severus snape
How do you handle the Lily situation writing wise and backstory wise?
Do you keep it in along with him still not being over Lily?
Do you make it so hes at least somewhat over her?
Do you write it out entirely?
Does your character replace lily entirely?
I asked mostly because I'm pretty curious as to what people do, im also writing a character I ship with Snape and have been wondering how i should navigate that and would like to hear ideas
I also just think its an interesting question given how important Lily was as a large driving force for Snape's actions throughout the story and how he interacts with Harry
Also, how does your character deal with/Respond to the way he treats Harry and other students?
(Currently im having my character deal with feeling like shes inferior to Lily in his eyes but that feels cruel)
This is a bit of a different answer, I don't really ship an OC with him
But, speaking as someone who has lost love... 'getting over' them isn't needed to love someone else.
With any relationship with Severus, I think anyone else would need to acknowledge that Lily is still there with him in his heart.
He can love two people. He can love the memory of one and the reality of another - they'd need to be willing to share him.
Lily is a part of him that I don't think anyone who loves him would want to remove. She has shaped him into who he is.
Absolutely, I definitely agree with that take. And thank you for your personal input, its more then welcome and appreciated ❤️
(Also "getting over" was not quite what I meant but that was poor phrasing on my part)
That kinda works with one of the ways I was thinking about it, like how someone can be married and loose their spouse but they still remarry (even though he wasn't married to lily himself its the same concept) and it isn't considered a "dishoner" to the prior lover
But you're absolutely right, its completely possible for it to be a "shared space" (not quite the words i'm looking for but you get the gist)
Thank you for your insight, it was great. and im sorry for your loss

So, the sequel that introduces mt OC as a romantic interest, begins to take place about 2 years post war. The Lily situation is actually delved into about 1/4 into the sequel, starting from even before he meets Dawn, to him wrestling with his new emotions surrounding her.
At the start of Light of Mine - it shows Severus being self-neglectful. Recluse. Basically rather depressed. Harry on the other hand, has the Resurrection Stone, and it tortures him . Severus condemns Harry for not getting rid of it. This starts of one of the subplot points.
Once Severus meets Dawn and a friendship forms, there are a few instances where he mentions Lily, gradually realising she wasnt the friend he needed at the time. Once Severus grows closer to Dawn and start to pine for her, guilt begins to gnaw at him and he feels like pursuing anything with Dawn holds him back.
Harry then suggests using the Stone to see Lily one last time (for both of them - for closure). Initially Severus is furious that it was even mentioned. But after his feelinga for Dawn grows, he realise that perhaps he needs that closure to move on and finally starts living his life.
So, Harry and Severus use the Stone to see both Lily and James. Severus ia bitter about James, and despite the arguing, it stays civil. James thanks him for keeping Harry safe, and Severus refuses to forgive him.
His conversation with Lily is more bittsrsweet - there is shame, apologies, and Lily's wish for him to start living his life.
When that conversation ends and they make their goodbyes, Harry uses Godric (his new owl gifted by Severus) to dispose of the Stone where neither of them will know.
Then Severus - with new courage - connects with Dawn knowing that Lily is now just a figure of his past. Dawn is the friend he wished he had growing up, but he comes to terms with that, and realises Dawn is the friend he needs now.
Dawn knows about Lily and at first Severus refused to talk about it. But eventually he opens up ❤️🩹

But what they didn't tell her was that her baby was alive and put into foster care.

If this post gets even a single like I will post his full backstory
haruki’s birth was not a easy process, months of struggling to have a baby and far too many miscarriages. his mother, Kurotama; was so relieved to hold her beautiful baby boy, she thought everything would be ok and that her marriage would go back to the way it was before, she got to see and feel his beautiful mismatched green eyes and soft black hair. but that was until his heart stoped beating and her whole world shattered. she tried to bring him back with her quirk but he was taken away and pronounced dead.
but that was not the end of haruki’s story, his mothers attempt at necromancy was successful, the doctors decided to chalk it up to a miracle that he managed to service to cover up his mothers illegal quirk use and the doctors make the decision to put him into foster care.
foster care was awful for Haruki, he never had a permanent place to stay and he barely knew who he was due to a lack of documentation of his birth and his parents being kept a complete secret from him. he also couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
Haruki still grew like a normal boy, but he was practically a walking corpse, he was sickly pale, he had poor circulation and healed a lot slower than others, but he could survive things a lot easier. The system tried to write it off as him having a zombie quirk but that didn’t work when he developed his plant manipulation Quirk. so they admitted it was a quirk that affected him as a baby but wouldn't tell him anything beyond that.
One of the only things that gave him an odd type of comfort, is when he saw a model on a billboard, she was a pretty woman; he saw her in lots of places, billboards, magazines, ads. He couldn't quite place why he felt so comforted by her face? perhaps it was her green eyes, or her long black hair that matched his own, and it was nice to see someone like him that was so beautiful. or it was something else he wasn't able to place.
Haruki’s childhood and pre-high school years were rough, he got bullied for his zombie-like appearance, and growing out his hair and giving himself piercings didn't help him in that case, not to mention the scars and near frankenstein like stitches he had all over his body from having to reattach some of his limbs and digits. It also made it harder for him to find a permanent home as the system labeled him as troubled.
Although his mothers beauty had not genetically skipped him; he was handsome in his own way, even if he did not attract the usual crowd he had his appeals in his own way to those who appreciated his darker charm. He actually developed a smooth and charming personality to make up for what he possibly lacked in physical impression and he even learned to make his looks work for him.
and his Quirk came with its benefits, not just in favorable impression, although that girl wouldn't appreciate flowers he grew himself? He figured if he trained his power he could be a hero.
He applied to UA high school and actually managed to get in. and now there he is, in class 1-A , a place where he feels far more at home then he ever had in a long time, Ever since he saw the woman on the billboards.
