eirwen nott

16. slytherin. sixth year " “There is no happiness like that of being loved by your fellow creatures, and feeling that your presence is an addition to their comfort.”

“I promise you, no one is going to bite you!”    the quivering child didn’t seem very soothed by her words; apparently, during the train ride here, a group of older kids decided to scare this child out of his mind, telling him all sorts of tales and falsehoods about Hogwarts. Sighing, she sits down on the floor, infinitely glad that she is already wearing her school uniform.  “Can you see any bite marks on me?” she asked showing him her arms,    “it’s a very simple and beautiful ceremony.”  The sound of footsteps and laughter drifted down from the great hall, where the feast was scheduled to begin. They were sitting behind the staircase of the Entrance Hall, the boy was curled into a ball against the wall. 

Brushing her fingers against his hair, Eirwen continued to try and soothe him but he refused to listen to reason. Suddenly, he retreated into himself even more and chocked out a sob. Before she could ask him what was wrong, she realized they weren’t alone anymore. 

“Oh, don’t you worry! This is just another student. They are not going to harm you, I am sure they are just worried about you, isn’t that right?”

‘‘      i’m surprised you didn’t call him the devil   .       ’’       he wasn’t so bad   ,    he simply  obeyed valentina only     .       ‘‘       even if they hadn’t i would’ve brought him   .      i mean look at him     ,      he’s just the cutest   .       ’’        he settles himself on her lap as she pets his head before caramel gaze looks for any scratches on eirwen’s face    .      ‘‘       nah all clean   .   why  ,   were you tryin’ to impress anyone   ?      ’’  

“I could have,” it would be an apt description, “but menace is just as fitting,” it speaks of impending danger, and this cat, though adorable, is evil incarnate. “No, but I didn’t want to arrive at Hogwarts with a huge scratch on my face!”

she sat in a compartment  ,   just her and her black cat   (   NEWT   )   ,    reading a book about dragons  and already conjuring up ideas for spells she wanted to try out and things she wanted to discover during her last year at hogwarts  ;   it still wasn’t enough, especially in the forbidden forest  .   she’s idly flipping through the pages with her wand  ,   book hovering in the air    when the door suddenly opens  ,   startling newt who jumped straight into the    person’s face  .      ‘‘     well, you scared a black cat. shit happens .     ’’

“This is not a cat Valentina.” Eirwen complained after she finally got the creature out of her face, “it’s menace! I’m surprised they allowed you to bring it back to Hogwarts.” setting the cat down, she walked over to Valentina, her eyebrows furrowed with worry. “Did it scratch my face?”

it had been an interesting summer for caroline to say the least. since her parents were gone most of the time she had a lot of time to explore the books she had gotten for herself and had found her fascination with dark magic growing. of course she would never tell a soul about this; it would ruin all that her parents fought for and what they’re still trying to preserve. she was early to the platform, of course, since she was travelling alone and found a spot to read near the back of the train. she pulled out her newest potions book and began to read the text in depth and before she knew it the cars were filling with students. “you can sit here if you’d like, i’m not saving it for anyone,” she spoke, not looking up from the book but feeling the presence of someone near her.

Eirwen had been planning on spending most of this time with her brother, after all, this would be the last year he would be boarding the Hogwarts express, the last time they could do this together. Instead, the shuffle of excited students and worried parents made her lose track of him. 

Standing on her tiptoes, Eirwen rested her hand against the door of a compartment and tried to find her brother in the gaggle of students walking up and down the corridor.  When Caroline speaks, she almost loses her balance, but years of ballet lessons keep her steady on her feet. 

“Oh, hello!” she says turning around, a hand resting over her heart, “I’m...” the chances of finding her brother now were slim to none... “Thank you.” after the train departed, she would go out in search of Cassian or her friends, but for now, “is it just or me or is this place busier than it was last year? It was absolutely crowded!”

as your local classic lit nerd, i’d say Eirwen is a mix of:

Jane Bennet (Pride and Prejudice), Marianne Dashwood (Sense and Sensibility), Helen Huntingdon (Tenant of Windfell Hall) and Amy March (Little Women)

Jane’s quiet beauty; a girl filled with love and hope, who knows her own strength but not very outspoken. 

Marianne’s spirit; expectations of a world filled with romance, adventure is just around the corner.

Helen’s perseverance; hidden steel lines her bones, she is not easily cowered, she may sometimes run and hide, especially if she believes she is doing this to protect those she loves, but she finds the strength to carry on and becomes stronger.

 Amy’s spoilt nature; a love of everything that is fine and good, she loves looking beautiful.

facts

There was always something magical about Eirwen. A beautiful baby, a charming child, and now a gorgeous young girl who deals with her family’s expectations quite well. Sure, she hides a lot about herself, but... she is dealing with it with as much grace as she can. Her sweet nature wouldn’t allow her to deal with it in any other way.

She always seems to be one step ahead of the people around her when it comes to dealing with little problems. She knows which cushion the prickly cat in the common room prefers, how to calm down angry first years and what to say when someone is about to break down because of a test. It’s not second nature to her, it doesn’t come naturally -- she simply observes people and tries to make sure they are doing well.

What about her personality? There isn’t a lot to say except sweet. Eirwen doesn’t have a very developed personality, she spends so much time thinking about other people, that she doesn’t notice the deficiencies in herself. It makes her a good listener because she doesn’t have a lot to talk about, which some people appreciate.

She should be in Hufflepuff. She argued to be in Slytherin because she knew it would make her parents happy.

She is all about other people!! Except when she is buying clothes. She likes pretty dresses.

connections

ex-girlfriend/friend with benefits -- Eirwen is bisexual but keeps that hidden. Gimme a girl who either got pissed at Eirwen for keeping their relationship a secret, or a developing relationship. Bonus points if the girl is a roommate.

friends -- honestly, i like giving my characters a lot of friends. It’s nice and healthy. So... befriend her.
