Full Name: -Â Daisy Petunia Dursley
Faceclaim:Â - Nathalie Emmanuel
Dursley is not a name that sparks particularly good memories. The family wasn’t exactly known for their warmth and kindness. But none of that reflects on this girl. Daisy is the epitome of sympathy and gentleness, always ready to lend a helping hand to anyone who needs it. Surprising, coming from the daughter of Dudley, but the girl was raised on a different environment than her father. The only child of the couple, Daisy was raised among real love. She rarely saw her father being as good a person as when he was with her mother.Â
Dudley rarely speaks to his parents anymore, even less when they found out Daisy was a witch. That put a pretty definite end to their familial relationship, because despite his upbringing, what with his parents shunning Harry every chance they got, Daisy was still his only daughter and he wouldn’t forsake her like that. So he learned to embrace it, with the help of his cousin and his family. As a result, Daisy ended up spending a lot of time with the Weasley-Potter kids, and thus learning more about what it was to be a wizard.
A Hufflepuff at heart, no one was surprised when the Sorting Hat yelled out the house as soon as it touched Daisy’s curl-covered head. Her parents were excited -- as soon as they learned what Hufflepuff was -- and thus began her journey in this new, exciting world. Being from a mostly-muggle background, the girl never really understood the divide between the four houses. She came to learn that it used be to much worse, and that Wizarding War had put a filter on everyone’s house competitions and prejudices. Still, she was amazed at how seriously some people took their house.Â
Under the influence of her cousins, Daisy joined the Quidditch team -- even though she hardly knew what Quidditch was. When Harry got the news, he took it upon himself to teach her over the summer. As a result, Daisy became one of the best Keepers for the Hufflepuff team in the past decade. Now, she loves the sport, and actually finds it therapeutic, even though it can get a bit too violent for her taste every now and again. As far as school is concerned, she tries her best. And it shows. In most of her classes, she has a top-score average and the teachers are constantly gushing about her grades. But she also has her shortcomings, namely in Potions and Transfiguration. She scrapes by, but barely. It frustrates her how difficult everything is. Thus, the teachers have assigned her a tutor, though she hardly thinks he can help.Â
During her Sixth Year, Daisy came to figure out something about herself that scared her: she wasn’t attracted to boys. She’d never had a boyfriend and she didn’t really mind it, but she realised that every time she thought about the subject, it wasn’t a guy that she pictured to be in a relationship with; it was a girl. And a specific one, too. She’s been confused about her sexuality since, and afraid to tell anyone about her thoughts and feelings. The only person she’s spoken remotely about this with is Fred, because she knows he would never judge her for anything. She is also afraid to tell her parents, even though she knows in her brain that they’d probably be okay with it, she just doesn’t want to take that risk of them stopping to love her.
EMMA MCLAGGEN. Emma is sort of like the forbidden fruit to Daisy. She tries her hardest to be around her as much as possible, but she can’t do much more than that. The two grew close after being in the same Potions class and being paired together. Emma is everything Daisy wished for: funny, kind, compassionate... and beautiful. Daisy just couldn’t help but to fall for her, but she’s never said anything about it, in fear she might lose her friend by asking her to be something more.
CONNOR LONGBOTTOM. Daisy already knew Connor since they were both little and she would go to the Weasley-Potter gatherings, where sometimes he would be, too. but they never really spoke until the teachers decided to assign him as a tutor to help her with Potions and Transfiguration. She didn’t really understand why they’d assigned him and not someone else, since he obviously didn’t give a damn whether or not she got better. Still, every week they meet in the library, and Daisy tries desperately to grasp the subjects and get Connor off her hair.
FRED WEASLEY II. At first glance, you wouldn’t pitch these two together. In truth, they’re like polar opposites of each other. Call Daisy a sucker for hopeless cases or something like that, but since they were little, there was something calling her towards Fred. And she listened. Even thought she had to go through layer after layer of coldness and anger, she got to the bottom of him, and what she found made her want to stick around. Together, they’re completely different people than they are when they’re apart. Of course, Daisy doesn’t understand some of the stuff Fred does, but she doesn’t judge him, just like he doesn’t judge her for anything.
