okay one of the things I have strong feelings about the inner demon that padma has never come to peace with is her insecurity. by looks, I mean. she’s one of those people who are very hateful towards their body image & face. like, as dean thomas quotes in GoF, “ I still can’t work out how you two got the two best-looking girls in the year ? “ yes, padma patil was a very attractive girl but even dean didn’t ask her to the yule ball. she was reserved as a last resort & i feel like eventually she would have found out about that. & ever since that feeling of insecurity has accentuated inside her && I think that’s why she’s much more quieter than parvati. && parvati got asked whereas padma didn’t. she was just told that she had an offer to go with ron weasley & bc it was a matter of prestige & a lifetime opportunity, ofc she’d go.
no matter how much someone tells her that she’s pretty she’ll just laugh it off & be like nah mate. & that is not because she wants to hear more, but bc she genuinely means it.
