isn’t that NARCISSA BLACK? yeah that is HER, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other FIFTH years and i think i heard sybill saying they look like VIRGINIA GARDNER… whoever that is! when she looks into her crystal ball she sees a perfect pink smile and glances through long lashes, silent coughs into lace handkerchiefs, sun softened peaches and golden honey, untouched notebooks with a pristine quill, answering any criticism with a girlish giggle, & a string of pearls sitting heavy around your neck. anyway i’ve heard they’re pretty SUPERFICIAL, PETTY, and LOYAL. apparently they’re a PUREBLOOD but i’m sure that’s not related. —— [ mhairi : gmt : 19 : she/her ]

PATRONUS: cissy has never attempted to cast a patronus but if she did it would take the form of a wildcat. those with a wild cat patronus are intelligent and quick thinking. quick thinking they often outsmart those around them. often quiet and reserved, those with the wildcat patronus do have a sharp side and a fiery heart. this feisty streak makes them formidable compared to most opponents.tough and clever, they are resilient enough to withstand events others could not and intelligent enough to excel in anything they choose to do.
BOGGART: while close to her family narcissa’s biggest point at this point in her life is not them dead but instead them turning their back on her. casting riddikulus would cause the image of each of her family members to spin around at a rapidly increasing speed.
WAND: elm, kelpie hair, 8“ 1/4′, wishy. narcissa’s wand is an heirloom wand, it wasn’t intentional instead nNarcissa had been messing around with some of her ancestors wands when one chose her. coincidentally it was her great great great aunt elladora’s wand, who she is named after.
the unfounded belief that only pure-bloods can produce magic from elm wands was undoubtedly started by some elm wand owner seeking to prove his own blood credentials, for i have known perfect matches of elm wands who are muggle-borns. the truth is that elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which, again, makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure-blood philosophy).
kelpie hairs are incredibly tempermental cores, explaining their rarity. they were once common in celtic wandmaking, however, the import of demiguise hairs has resulted in them falling out of favor. they have similar qualities to demiguise hair, and are powerful transfiguration cores when they don’t backfire spectacularly.
REPORT CARD: cissy is in her fifth year and will be sitting nine OWLs with the following predicted grades.
Defence against the dark arts, E.
Born on a new moon in may 1961, Narcissa Black’s name was never meant to be Narcissa. Brought into the world too early at 27 weeks, the name Carina (a constellation part of the larger Argo Navis) long picked out for an unfortunate outcome of a third daughter, did not suite the tiny child.
Oh so pale, delicate, and fragile, the new born babe was not thought long for this world, maybe not even day, definitely not a week, hardly worthy of a name from the stars. No, the girl would never be a star, wouldn’t live long enough, destined to be beautiful but short lived she would be little more than a flower.
And thus she was named Narcissa, just Narcissa not worth the middle names.
But the healers pulled off a miracle, and she survied not only the day but a week, and then two, and then three, and after a lengthy St. Mungo’s stay baby Narcissa was home.
More of a fighter, more of a warrior than her appearance let on suddenly her name seemed an oversight. But Narcissa had stuck and so she got the name she would’ve had as a middle name. Carina Hekate Elladora Black became Narcissa Carina Hekate Elladora Black. Hekate for the Greek goddess of magic and witchcraft, Elladora for her great, great, great, aunt Elladora (the one who started the tradition of beheading house elves)
Finally home from St. Mungo’s she was a baby full of noise and life, always giggling, or cooing, or babbling, you would think that it would be an unwelcome behaviour in the black house hold but at three months old Naricissa already had her parents wrapped around her tiny fingers.
Her unlikely survival had proved her a fighter in the eyes of her father, his fighter, he’d taken to calling her Carina. Always full of praise that his other daughters would rarely receive Narcissa could do no wrong. But to Druella she was always Narcissa, a flower, her flower. Her beautiful child, picture perfect, always so calm, always so pliant, any mothers dream.
But her early entrance into the world had taken a toll on her health and as a child CIssy was often sick, and as a consequence always coddled.
By the time she was old enough to be aware of her situation Narcissa was already in love with it, she could charm any adult with a sweet smile and perfected pleasantries, she could make friends at the drop of a hat with giggles and a few sweet comments.
Going off to hogwarts was a scary thing for Narcissa she wouldn’t have the constant affection from her mother and father and she would be around more people than she had been in her entire life.
One of those should never have been a concern as the tiny blonde haired girl fit in perfectly into Slytherin house beloved by all. With those in other houses? Well they didn’t really matter.
The other however would prove to be a more major concern with the young girl, frequently finding herself consigned to the hospital wing, even having to be sent away to St. Mungo’s in her third year. Even now she’s frequently poorly.
Her illness was never a hindrance to her studies however as despite weeks at a time away from classes she’s always maintained exceptional grades. Her health does seem to be improving of late and she’s even taking up a spot on the quidditch team; surprisingly as keeper instead of seeker.
She knows what her parents expect of her, as the daughter of a great pureblood family her role is to marry into another great house but part of her can’t help but want more, want love. Maybe there’s someway she can do both?
Hopeless romantic, reads all sorts of trashy wizard romance novels… maybe she even gets someone to get her muggle ones?
Doesn’t really believe the whole blood purity thing whole heatedly. Of course purebloods are better but why should they kill all the others? Whats the point of being on top if there’s no one to be better than?
Desperately wants to show others she’s not weak because of her poor health and keep her spot on the quidditch team, maybe she’s getting someone to make her health draughts that are above her level under the table?
