ââ  hey, isnât that MEERA OPPARA? i read a daily prophet article on them, once ; the TWENTY SEVEN year old pure blood WITCH is a SALEM WITCHES INSTITUTE alumnus who has gone on to be an AUROR. iâve heard they can be quite COURAGEOUS & CANDID, but i donât know⌠they came off very BOISTEROUS & HEADSTRONG in that interview. it really is hard to know what to believe these days though, isnât it? Â
i will post a more formal bio when i have the time <3 but for now <3 here are some bullet points about my babey <3Â
born and raised ( mostly ! ) in new york city. very much a city gal. rural/countryside areas are too quiet and make her uneasy !
both of her parents are pureblood wix - her mother ( zoya ) was born in the us and was a childrens book illustrator. the job, for her, was rewarding and meant she should stay home with her children ( meera has one younger sibling ). her father ( samar )was born in britain and was an auror for macusa - he went on to climb the ranks to eventually become the auror commissioner.Â
meeraâs parents divorced in her late teens in the most amicable of ways -- there was no bad blood, just a case of falling out of ( romantic ) love. while impactful, meera can recognize it could be worse. both her parents got along still, coparented, and for several years still spent their holidays as one large family. her mother eventually went on to remarry, while her father delved further into his work. mom would get meera and her younger siblings on breaks, and dad got them for a large chunk of the summer. often, they would go and visit their extended family in britain.Â
very talented in school and was your textbook over achiever, which often meant she would be hard on herself over minor slip-ups that had no real weight in the grand scheme of things.Â
she is very much that girl that thought her dad was the coolest guy ever, and never really outgrew that sentiment. she went on to be an auror for macusa, just like him. likely was harassed a great deal for being a nepotism baby, despite receiving no career handouts from her father. she took a liking to international cases, and jumped at them when the opportunity allowed.Â
the pestering from her coworkers didnât bother her so much as she grew tired of them -- years of her career went by and her name still often followed by âsamarâs daughterâ. despite having the highest level of admiration for her father. . . and despite the fact that his name is likely known in other circles, she wanted to make a name for herself that wasnât quite literally under his guise. two years ago she applied to become an auror for the ministry of magic, and after a long and rigorous vetting process, she was offered a position a year later. so, meeraâs been in london for about a year now !
personality wise. . . while kaela is a bitch ( derogatory ) and i love her so much ! meera is a bitch ( affectionate ) and i love her so much ! very headstrong in the way that she can back up the trait, and despite having a relatively important parent she has worked for all that she has. despite being very direct and otherwise loud, she has a very good heart <3
wanted connections ! ( i will submit these to the main eventually, but for now . . . )
the obvious thing is NEW FRIENDS ! sheâs making many new ones. people to show her the places in london that she might not already know about.Â
school pals that somehow also ended up in the uk.
long distance ( no longer long distance now, tho ) besties ! alternatively, meera spent a good amount of time back and forth between britain and the us growing up. her father is still probably well connected in some pureblood circles because london is where his parents raised him, and where some of his family is still residing. i imagine during the summer meera ended up being connected to some people around her age that went to hogwarts. think of the fun of long distance buddies that now get to hang more regularly instead of once or twice a year !
adding onto that. imagine. the fun. of a long distance ex. they met when they were in their early twenties on one of meeraâs summer trips and really hit it off. inseparable the entirety of her time there. eventually any off time either had was spent traveling to the other before they made the jump to being official, but long distance. lots of letters. lots of rearranging schedules but it worked for several years n they were happy until they werenât ! perhaps they broke up about 2 years ago, despite meera applying for work for the ministry. imagine how fuckin awkward it wld be seeing ur ex from the us at ur morning coffee shop with no warning :-)
that being said meera ? prob in her sl*t era. let her have some fun w hookups <3
i donât imagine she allowed herself the time to have any relationships in her schooling years but. if the shoe fits being that like.... it fits the narrative. someone she had a big fat crush on that she did nothing about. i dunno -
people that just donât fuckin like her. give me an auror that hates her guts because she keeps taking the cases they want. i dunno. surely we can work something out i love messy drama -Â
extended family - obviously, this might be a bit of work ! but i would not be mad about meera having some cousins or other family members !
