( cisfemale | she/her | madison bailey ) ââ isnât that DORCAS MEADOWES? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees spirited debates, worn out converse, half smoked cigarettes, breaking curfew, distressed jean jackets, messy buns, black coffee, avoiding family functions, and sunglasses to hide a hangover. anyway iâve heard theyâre pretty FREEWHEELING, HIGH-MINDED, and PUGNACIOUS. apparently theyâre FOR THE LIGHTÂ and PUREBLOOD but iâm sure thatâs not related.Â
hey hi hello how ya doin. iâm baz and this is my chaotic, pain in the ass dorcas.
here is her pinterest and stats page. iâll eventually get a full bio and her wanted connections up, but this is what i have for you for now!
abuse mentions tw! nothing graphic, but theyâre in there!Â
born february 13th, 1960 in bristol, england.
which means: aquarius sun, leo moon, sagittarius rising. do with this what you will.
her parents are geoffery and aida meadowes. theyâre not wealthy or the most elite within the pureblood community, but theyâre extremely proud of their lineage - something dorcas never really understood.Â
because they werenât the most elite, aida worked ten times as hard to make it appear as if they were. it was a major point of contention for doeâs mother that they werenât as well known or respected as she thought they ought to have been.
when dorcas showed no interest in pureblood society and began asking the wrong questions in front of her motherâs friends, she quickly learned how unacceptable that was.Â
more often than not dorcas and her mother would end up getting into screaming matches after social gatherings - aida insisting that dorcas was intentionally embarrassing her & trying ruin the family name, while doe argued that the opinions of others shouldnât matter as long as they were good people with kind hearts.
it was then that she realized her mother and the people she surrounded them with were far more interested in the purity of their world rather than the integrity of it.
from that point on, the meadowes home was a war zone. with her father traveling for work more often than now, there was no buffer between dorcas and her mother. hateful insults were hurled across the table at breakfast, by noon dorcas was a blood traitor and lucky her mother didnât disown her, kicking her out of their home. every time dorcas left her room was a new attack on how she failed her family as a daughter and was an embarrassment to the wizarding world as a whole.
this became the norm for dorcas, which made adjusting to life at hogwarts quite easy when she was sorted into slytherin. those who didnât already know her by name, quickly came to find she wasnât they stereotypical slytherin. she may have been cunning and ambitious, but she hardly subscribed to their elitist views when it came to blood status. Â
it took a while, but dorcas eventually found other like-minded students - both in her house and others.Â
in the five years since she came to hogwarts, dorcas has garnered quite the reputation. wicked intelligent with a sharp tongue, dorcas has proved herself as someone who isnât afraid to get their hands dirty, both in the classroom and outside it.
when dorcas heard about âfor the lightâ, it was a no brainer. sheâd already been vocal about her disdain for those who thought their blood status made them better than others and was clear about how she thought the ones behind the recent attacks and deaths should be dealt with.Â
with her birthday right around the corner, dorcas was thrilled when dumbledore came to her about joining the order and, just like with âfor the lightâ, she agreed without a second thought. she was counting down the days until she turned seventeen and could officially join.
personality
dorcas is a biiiiig softie, but because of the way she grew up, sheâs got this hard, prickly exterior. once you break through it, though? all the love. all of it. youâll have a friend for life and the most outrageous adventure buddy.
sarcastic af and sheâs vicious if you wrong her or the people she loves. if thereâs anything she got from her mother, itâs her temper.Â
insanely competitive, even over the smallest things. itâs why she loves quidditch so much. dorcas isnât the most graceful loser, but she tries.Â
will tell you, with her whole chest, that she doesnât give a fuck what you think about her. she doesnât live to impress or please anyone but herself. if she does care what you think, youâll never hear it from her mouth, but she will work just the tiniest bit harder to make sure she makes a good impression.
when it comes to flirting and dating, she puts on a good front and talks a lot of shit, but baby girl is not super experienced and has only been in a handful of relationships. she may hide it, but dorcas definitely goes into full panic mode whenever someone she finds attractive flirts with her or shows any kind of affection. sheâs also pansexual, so please feel free to send my girl into full gay panic mode. lmfao.
wanted dynamics
these will eventually expand and make it to a page on doeâs blog, but for now !!!
former friends! people she knew before coming to hogwarts? before she really started to push against her pureblood roots. they could have had their falling out either before or after they started school! iâm not picky & we can talk details, but we love the angst!!
chosen family! also love the lil gang of misfits that chose each other as family trope. give me all of that. these would be the people whoâve broken through doeâs prickliness and gets all the soft!doe. any one who gets the shitty family, come at me. shared trauma? here for it.
exes/flings! any and all genders! this is suuuper open, so if you think our babes may have potential for a past or potential for something in the future, slide in these dms!
loathe entirely! please give doe someone to fight. just pure, unabashed hatred. again, not picky on the details! we can flesh it out in the dms!!Â
honestly, if you made it this far, bless you! lol. iâm so pumped to finally start plotting and writing with yâall!Â
