biography / background
*tw for themes of generational trauma
she has always needed to be bright . it seemed, from birth , that fleur would be the golden girl . if anything , her heritage would demand it of her . apolline leung had learned many things from her mother , things she would bestow upon her daughters , unintentional wounds she would inflict by insisting that perfection was the minimum . and so la petite fleur began to bloom , at the edge of the sea . hugo delacour’s lengthy excursions as an ambassador for the french ministry of magic saw the majority of responsibility for fleur’s upbringing falling upon apolline and her grandmother . while the women ( hugo ) loved the delacour girls terribly , they showed it differently . to falter was to fail in the delacour home , and affection was displayed in the forms of hard - earned praised . because they were beautiful , graceful , naturally alluring , they reasoned , fleur and gabrielle would need to work twice as hard to be seen - to be respected for their accomplishments & their minds . so they pushed , and guided , and urged .
and fleur became golden . she hardened herself for the world , ascended above others with an air of arrogance that kept many at a distance . it was simpler than to let them in , for to let them know her made her vulnerable . and to be vulnerable was to be weak . it took a truly dedicated individual to see that she cared a great deal , that she had a truly ridiculous laugh , and just wanted to be known .
an excellent student at l’academie de magie beauxbatons , she would soon become a champion . like her father , she would serve as an ambassador . the triwizard tournament tested every portion of fleur , and submitted her to scrutiny of an international variety . it ought to have been a triumph , but she faltered . and to falter was to fail . she preserved her aloof , critical exterior to shield herself , but cracks in the porcelain began to show when the time came for fleur to realize that the world was so much bigger than herself . that there was room for her to care .
the murder of cedric diggory , her colleague ( perhaps he could have been her friend ) made her realize just how vulnerable the wixen world was , and how lonely it would be to travel it alone . gifted with arithmancy , fleur took a job at gringotts bank to ‘improve her english, ‘ when truthfully she was looking for the opportunity to look inward . to remove the mask and know herself better . it was during this summer of self-discovery that she met bill weasley , and in turn learned what a different type of family looked like . bill challenged her facades , and called her bluffs . he saw her , and fleur realized that to be seen was something entirely different than the image she had worked so carefully to maintain . a new perspective did not forgive the unkindnesses she had done , or the harm she might have caused . it couldn’t do that - but it could allow her to try and do better . for herself , for those she loved . & so fleur became a fighter .
the war raged on and fleur raged with it , fighting for the chance to become herself , fighting so that others could continue to be themselves. she loved , and learned , and lost . but in the face of war , fleur softened . her capability to openly express empathy grew . she had found family ,camaraderie she had found herself and she would fight for it. and for a while , it felt like they had won .
what a cruel , unusual thing it is , that the wheel of time dooms history to repeat itself . fleur has more to fight for than ever before . & she’ll fight like hell to preserve it .
