BASIC CHARACTER INFO
character name: margo hanson character age / birthdate: 27 ( 28 in a few days ) december 27th 1992 character faceclaim: summer bishil hogwarts house / former school: n/a, student of brakebills side (order, death eaters, neutral): neutral, aware of the order, would prolly step on a death eater just to take their money, loyal to her friends first and foremost. occupation: high fucken king bitches ships / anti-ships: listen,,, margo and josh are fucking presh forever okay. but also consider margo and kady. and fen. and alice. basically. im a hoe for margo and everyone. just. margo x happiness aight that’s all i care about. emoji: she’s nabbing that crown
EXTENDED CHARACTER INFO
personality: ruthless, tactical, loyal, sentimental, observant, brash past: margo grew up in LA as the only child of a busy single father. he did his best to take care of margo, but was very often away on business trips, leaving margo with the live-in nanny. however, when he was around, he was kind and caring and thoughtful, and he always taught margo to be strong, to be empowered and confident. he taught her to always go after what she wanted in life: he just never quite anticipated the lengths she’d go to. as she grew older, her opinionated spirit and drive worried her father, and he no longer liked the girl she had grown into: he wanted his little girl back, while margo only wanted to seek a life for herself. there was a very clear wedge between them, and the day margo moved out to go to college, studying theatre at UCLA, was the last day she ever spoke to him. in 2015, margo was accepted into brakebills and moved into the physical kids’ cottage-- specifically for those focused on physical magic-- and her discipline is cold manipulation. ever since her second year of study, things have been... chaotic, to say the least. from finding a whole new world, becoming queen, becoming king-- being overthrown, having to deal with her best friend being possessed for months, having a close friend die, oh and becoming a werewolf-- it’s been a lot. and it only got more intense in recent months with the fucking destruction of fillory.
present: which she then helped to rebuild. and is currently stuck on, having been rebuilding for an entire year of their time. but she and her friends are about to finally reconnect with earth through a very well timed traveler... headcanons: -margo has a fairy eye that enables her to see things that otherwise might not be able to be perceived by the human eye. this includes seeing past enchantments. -while margo’s discipline is cold manipulation, margo has wide and extensive knowledge and skills within the physical brand of magic. but margo’s skills lie heavily in knowledge, specifically, of people. margo is an exceptional tactician. it made her a very powerful and wise ruler and meant on earth, people put a lot of trust and faith in her. she’s something of a secret keeper and it’s true that if you ever want to know something about someone, margo is the best person to ask. she has exceptional skills and there is an almost magic nature to even her voice. -her boggart is eliot possessed by the monster. -while she’s never cast it, her patronus would be a polar bear. -werewolves in the world of magicians/powered by the wellspring are incredibly different to those from the wizarding world. for magicians, it is a sexually transmitted disease and every thirty years the ‘quickening’ occurs, which makes a werewolf either fuck to pass on the disease, or brutally kill. it’s a leetle dramatic and a leetle funny and margo kinda laughs at wizarding world werewolves.

personality: devoted, caring, sarcastic, hot-tempered, witty, an absolute simp past: penny had no idea that he was born a traveler, a rare individual with the power to step anywhere in the entire universe, or that this ability drew his mother mad, but he did know that his family fell apart because of him. that he got sent to all those foster homes because there was something wrong with him. then he got accepted into brakebills, learned the truth about himself, met the love of his life, julia wicker, and then watched it all promptly get destroyed, leaving him alone and devastated. that is, until a bunch of his (very dead) friends showed up. from a different timeline, the 17 timelines ahead of his own, where his version, penny 40, was dead. so, he followed them when they made their way back. a refuge in timeline that wasn’t his own, but one that he made his home. he did a lot of things there. helped to save the world. met julia again, a different julia this time, but one he fell in love with nevertheless. he lost part of his abilities, but then regained them together with becoming a father. he was also apparently a professor at brakebills now. he honestly still didn’t understand how most of that happened. present: being a full time simp for julia and his daughter, hope, while also trying to teach young travelers at brakebills, which had been made a lot easier given how he can actually travel again now. he’s mostly been helping julia look for the new fillory their friends created, so they could reunite again. headcanons: - doesn’t use a wand, hasn’t conjured patronus but it would be a manul, his boggart is julia and his daughter, dead. - he’s a traveler, a psychic magical discipline, as well as a kind of magical hybrid, it allows him to read other’s minds, astral project and teleport anywhere in the universe, including between worlds. since he’s regained his abilities, he’s mostly been able to only use them while holding his daughter, but he’s been experimenting with it since, growing the range that he can still use them in. - probably cis man, but he’s walking a thin line there, pretends that he’s straight, primarily simp for julia - the most laid back professor at brakebills, save for trying to scare the shit out of his students from time to time to keep them taking traveling seriously - has a whole collection of scarfs, tries to pretend that it’s only ‘a couple’

EXTENDED CHARACTER INFO
personality: brave, reckless, melancholy, determined, dedicated, protective. past: quentin grew up with no knowledge that magic was actually real. he always felt out of place, like there was something huge missing in his life. he spent his time escaping into the fantasy world of the fillory and further books. it was pretty much the only thing that kept him alive and going through life and multiple suicide attempts. but the truth was: it was all real. fillory. magic. all of it. why though, was his magical potential never discovered until later life? because it was dictated to be this way. this timeline is the 40th timeline quentin has lived through. each one, minor details are changed in order to test, to find out if it will be ‘the one’ that works in defeating ‘the beast’. in this timeline, two simple details were changed: quentin and his best friend julia would not have their magical potential discovered until later in life, and julia would also be rejected from brakebills university. the good part? it worked. the bad part? in spite of all the good they did and all they achieved, things still got... messy. quentin became a king in the land he had spent all of his life adoring, but he lost so much along the way and honestly, was a pretty shitty king anyway. but hey, he killed a god? that’s pretty cool, right? wrong. quentin’s actions set off a chain of events that led to the switching off of all magic, for those that drew from the wellspring at least. a quest for keys and unleashing a monstrous few gods later and quentin... well. he died. that was six months ago. six months in the afterlife before now-- he’s opening his eyes to the world once more with no clue how he got here. all he remembers is a distant voice in his head, calling for him to wake up. present: he been in the afterlife bitches, wakey wakey quentin. however, dumbledore and fogg were always aware of one another, and the order of the phoenix has been mentioned to quentin etc in passing. now, with no idea what has happened to him and how he’s back, quentin wakes up in london and draws the attention of the aurors special team that detect the intense magical disturbance his return caused, but also john constantine who arrives first. headcanons: -quentin has no need for a wand, given the different type of magic he uses and draws upon. he's never had a wand and never intends to use one. -quentin's discipline of magic is the repair of small objects or, minor mendings. while he has a wide range of talents across the board and is a highly dedicated learner, this is quentin's speciality. at first, he thought it was pointless and disappointing. he's since changed his mind drastically. -he has no idea how or why he is alive, but due to waking up in london he has his suspicions that it has something to do with jane chatwin. -his boggart would take the shape of any of his friends possessed by the nameless god. -quentin has never produced a patronus so is yet to discover that his patronus takes the shape of a phoenix. any extras: do you have a playlist, pinterest board, or other thing you want to share? this is where you’d put that!

BASIC CHARACTER INFO
character name: dorcas meadowes character age / birthdate: 18 / april 28th 2002 character faceclaim: lana condor hogwarts house / former school: gryffindor side (order, death eaters, neutral): order occupation: vagabond? couch surfer? ships / anti-ships: porcas ( ͡❛ ‿‿ ͡❛)
EXTENDED CHARACTER INFO
personality: plucky, caring, protective, sweet, wild, aggressive, moody, honest, argumentative
past: born a third generation vietnamese-brit, dorcas’s grandparents immigrated to the uk in the early 1970’s. given a traditional vietnamese name at birth, she chose the name dorcas at the nudging of her parents before she began charm school. her childhood was inundated with old fashioned, aristocratic, old-world responsibilities and affairs, her families on maternal and paternal sides being prominent purebloods. when dorcas was able to attend hogwarts, it was her chance to finally break free of the confines of her upbringing and be who she truly was. she quickly was able to find friends and her own voice, no longer the quiet and timid girl she was in her first year of school. she became a bit of a wild child, her outlet for anger and repression was to become a beater on the gryffindor quidditch team. her best friends were marlene mckinnon and mary macdonald, and she vibes heavily with the marauders gang. after her fifth year and mary’s attack, she joined the dueling club and with whispers of the mysterious order of the phoenix fighting evil outside the castle walls, she was determined to join their ranks as well upon graduation.
present: since graduating from hogwarts, dorcas has (in no particular order): joined the order of the phoenix; told off her parents about their old-school, purist ways; defied their wishes to see the matchmaker and get married; and left their home which effectively cut her off from their money (her grandmother secretly gave her some money and a pat on the back for doing her own thing). she’s been crashing at different friends' apartments ever since.
headcanons: -although dorcas’ legal name is dorcas aurelia meadowes, she was given a traditional vietnamese name at birth-- phan linh ngoc. her parents did not want her to suffer the cruelties that they had when they were younger, being judged and mocked for their vietnamese names.
-serial monogamist, but like in the worst way. every bf (and one gf) was the love of her life despite them almost never feeling the same way. she always loved more and deeper than them, and was dumped almost every time.
-wanted to be a singer when she was little, and even up until the war really started she still had those aspirations
-after mary’s attack in 5th year, she trained as hard as she possibly could to become especially skilled in dueling so that she could protect herself and her friends in the war (to the point where, years later in the summer of ‘81, she was killed by voldemort personally)
-patronus is an eagle, she pulls on the memory of making friends with marlene and mary and lily in her first year and feeling like she finally had a family she actually liked being a part of.
-had a massive giant simp crush on peter in seventh year but was too scared to say anything to him.

occupation: ex-novelist, has written an astronomy textbook still in use at hogwarts as well as several other books. high ranking member of the dmle, has a ranking seat on the wizengamot.
ships / anti-ships: listen 👀
character emoji: ♟
EXTENDED CHARACTER INFO
personality: intelligent, calculating, stubborn, quick witted, contentious, humorous
past: estela markorp knew she was adopted from day one, her parents william and grace making sure to keep everything open between them. they each worked in the ministry, william heading the dmle and assisting albus dumbledore in the fight against grindelwald. estela thought she took after her parents, despite no blood relation between the three. she was the best student in her year every year, made ravenclaw prefect by fifth year, and did everything right. it didn’t stop people from seeing her as less than, specifically thinking her to be a blood traitor due to her adopted mother’s muggleborn status, despite estela’s own pureblood status. estela, as well as her friends carya mattews (a muggleborn) and anthony viridian (a halfblood). leading the attack were abraxas malfoy and nikolaj mulciber.
estela was the least harmed, both anthony and carya ending up in the hospital wing, but she was shaken. during her time at hogwarts the ravenclaw ghost—the grey lady, or helena ravenclaw, had always been kind to her, making conversation with her. when she returned to the ravenclaw tower shaken, helena referred her to the portrait of her mother, stating that she’d always offer help to a true ravenclaw. rowena’s portrait recognized estela as one of her descendants due to estela’s biological mother—the side she was a descendant on—frequently holding conversations with her, well aware of her history. rowena told estela where her private quarters were, offering her a place to get peace.
while in the quarters, estela took a ring that was well known to be rowena’s, appearing in several of her portraits, including the one in the common room. she took to wearing this around, tom riddle—a slytherin in the year above her— taking great interest in this. tom put together that estela was a descendant of not only ravenclaw, but slytherin as well, and decided to use this to his advantage.
estela assisted tom with several things while she was still in school, finding him to be interesting, and the promise of being able to keep the diadem of ravenclaw once it was found was too promising. of course she wasn’t able to keep it, instead being given the ability to hide it somewhere. estela chose the room of requirement, angry that the diadem had been tarnished by tom’s soul, though she didn’t expel the anger outwards, instead focusing her energy on making sure the diadem was far enough in the room that it would never be found by someone who don’t already know where it was.
estela went away to norway after the business with the diadem, getting over her feelings for tom, though he dragged her back five years later, recruiting her to the death eater cause.
present: estela isn’t a full fledged death eater, instead claiming to be on her own side, though this almost always means helping tom with endeavors. she doesn’t like taking orders. she’s been focusing heavily on her position in the dmle, twisting things to fit tom’s narrative, as well as recruiting within the ministry.
headcanons:
- estela’s patronus is a golden eagle, and she uses several memories to call upon it, most with her parents, though unfortunately one of these is a memory with tom, a rare human moment on the top of the astronomy tower.
- estela’s boggart used to be a memory she had of morfin gaunt, of him telling her that “eagles made good eating” before detailing how he murdered her parents. it shifted later on, and now it’s the ravenclaw diadem, the part of tom’s soul inside of it speaking out to her.
- dumbledore several times either asked estela for help or offered her respite, believing she wasn’t acting of her own volition, and that tom was manipulating her. he did this several times throughout the years, believing estela could be the key to stopping tom’s rise before it started. estela directly *told* tom about this each time it happened, solidifying that she would not betray him. dumbledore still holds out some small bit of hope that she may turn sides, based on her activities when she was in school, as well as the fact that she stays away from unneeded cruelty.
- estela gifted tom with the ravenclaw ring when she went with him on his #fieldtriptokillhisfamily
- she has a walnut wood wand, 7 1/2, stiff, with shrake scale core. walnut wood pairs well with owners of superior intelligence, makes for a dangerous weapon if the owner lacks morals. a shrake scale core acts on its own accord. it’s good at water spells, falling short in fire. they create trouble often, mostly for muggles. shrake wands usually pick troublesome witches and wizards.

character name: jonas mulciber
character age / birthdate: 21, december 18th 1998
character faceclaim: thomas hayes
hogwarts house / former school: slytherin
side (order, death eaters, neutral): death eaters
ocucpation: auror in training
ships / anti-ships: any and all
personality: cunning, methodical, devious, cruel, perfectionist, decisive
past: born to nikolaj and matilda mulciber just outside of london, jonas was always expected to be the best, and he strived for it. his mother was an immigrant from finaldn while his father was the son of norwegian immigrants. it was driven into him how important it was to be the best he could be, that nothing less would be accepted. so jonas set out to be just that, always doing his best to excell in whatever he applied hismelf to. even as a young child he pushed himself, trying to read harder book and learn things kids older than him knew. by the time he got his hogwarts letter, jonas was thrilled. he couldn’t wait to go to school and show his parents just how good he could be.
the second he sat down, the hat started to deliberate. it took five minutes and thirty-six seconds to sort him, the hat insisting he’d be a perfect fit in ravenclaw, but he refused. jonas made it clear he belonged in slytherin, almost close to fighting with the hat until it yelled slytherin out. he joined his friends at the table, happy to be with them and not in some other house. it was expected of him, after all.
jonas grew used to the expectations thrust upon him and he always met them. he received top marks in his owls and when it came time for his newts, he went for classes he knew he’d excel in. that was also the year it was becoming more and more of his friends would be joining lord voldemort, following after their parents, and so mulciber decided he would be doing the same. in november of his seventh year he decided to do something that would get the dark lord’s attention, wanting to prove that he could handle things. he kidnapped a muggleborn student, jeanette smith, and tortured her for 12 hours straight, apparating away and leaving her to die. she survived but his threats worked, as she hadn’t told anyone it was him. then, later in the year just after returning from winter holidays, he attacked mary macdonald.
after graduating from hogwarts, he swore allegiance to lord voldemort immediately, making it clear this was the path he wanted to go down. it made his father incredibly proud. given his high marks on his newts and owls, it was decided that he would enter the auror office as a mole. he got his dark mark that night.
present: two years after he graduated, jeanette smith showed up in the auror office to apply and got the job quickly, which angered him greatly. he tried to threaten her, make it clear that she wasn’t wanted and she should run, but jeanie hexed him with ancient magic, something he’d never heard. nowadays they avoid each other and have made it clear not to assign them together, though it happens sometimes.
headcanons:
jonas’ wand is made of yew wood, with a nidhogg heartstring core, is 11 inches long, and is unyielding. mulciber is able to produce a patronus, manifesting as a falcon, originally pulling on the memory of getting his owl results though now he pulls on the day he joined the death eaters. his boggart is his boss firing him, representing his fear of failure. amortentia to jonas smells like parchment, peppermint, and cinnamon.
he grew up speaking english, norwegian, and finnish, making him trilingual. during his school years he also learned swedish, russian, and german. because of this, jonas is a polyglot and not afraid to show it off.
when it came time to choose a muggleborn to torture, jonas wasn’t picky. he waited off to the side of the road leading between hogsmeade and hogwarts and chose the first one that walked by, that unlucky person being jeanie. he’s made it known to her that she wasn’t exactly special.
the first time he used an unforgivable curse, jonas was 13. his father was teaching him how to use the imperius curse, wanting to make sure that jonas was as good at it as he was. the first time he used the cruciatus curse was on jeanie and therefore he considers her his first in some creepy way.
due to his overachieving nature, jonas went out of his way to learn advanced and forbidden magics. by his seventh year, he had mastered things no one his age should and had even invented a couple spells that he kept secret.
BASIC CHARACTER INFO
character name: Peter Samuel Pettigrew. character age / birthdate: 17 / November 21st 2002 character faceclaim: Louis Hofman hogwarts house / former school: Gryffindor / hogwarts side (order, death eaters, neutral): order of the phoenix occupation: Auror ships / anti-ships: none established
EXTENDED CHARACTER INFO
personality: thoughtful, introverted, witty, fearful, anxious, ambitious, clever
past: Peter grew up on the outskirts of Amsterdam with his mother and father; a catholic couple wed for the sheer purpose of getting in to each other’s pants. By 3 he knew more curse words than regular words, and by 7 it was more curses than spells.
When Peter was barely a year old, his cousin of the same age came to live with them. The Pettigrew’s would have preferred if Peter had been born a girl and as he became older it became more apparent. On most days Peter felt invisible, only there when he had broken antique China, or tracked mud through the house. Even so, he and Dina got on marvellously. Peter thought often that she may very well have been the only one to miss him when he left for Hogwarts.
Peter quickly formed a group of friends who called themselves the marauders. They were as joined at the hip as he once was with Dina, but much like at home he couldn’t help but feel like he didn’t entirely exist.
Present: Throughout school Peter did as the marauders did, and thought what the marauders thought; so much so that upon graduation he joins the auror program as part of a once mentioned pipe dream of all becoming aurors together. In his free time he writes and submits articles to the daily prophet, something he’d enjoy much more.
Headcanons: -James was the first of the marauders that Peter met and befriended -Peter has run into the owlery in animagus form- he has since learned exactly where it is from every location in the school -Since Dina was not allowed in to Diagon Alley or on the platform itself, Peter’s parents stayed at home with her and he did both unaccompanied. -Despite rarely if ever being given a reason to feel so, Peter does view himself as not quite a part of his friend group, he tends to feel as if he has one toe set outside

past: born in liverpool, john’s mother died during childbirth and that one thing went on to change much of his life. his father spent his entire childhood drinking and abusing john, taking every moment he could to tell john he was a killer. for a year, while his father was in prison, john and his older sister spent time with two sets of aunts and uncles. after his father got back, john saw the aztec god of the dead and his father dismissed it as just chilldhood imagination.
then john got his letter to hogwarts. his family had been magical on his father’s side for well over a thousand years, all of them attending hogwarts except his father, who was a squib. john was ecstatic to get his letter, wanting to get away from his father. though his sister hadn’t inherited the magic and he’d miss her, he desperately needed to get away from his father. having not grown up in the magical community, he didn’t know anything about hogwarts, but he was just so excited. he was sorted into slytherin and became close friends with hanji zoe.
while back in liverpool on christmas holiday, john summoned a demon to impress his muggle friends, but nothing came of it – at least he thought nothing had. the nearby river became overcome with sludge and rubbish and one of the friends was dragged away and drowned. john didn’t tell anyone about this when he returned to school. the rest of his school years were fairly normal, his summers spent running away and dating random girls to drown out the everything of his life.
sometime after leaving school, john met liza ikumelo, a cop in london that was working her way up the ranks. she called john to deal with a magical issue, believing a demon to be attacking people. john solved the problem and the two hooked up and john never heard from her again, but liza had a son after that, a boy named noah that john would eventually meet while teaching at hogwarts in the future.
after that, john met danita wright, a report at the daily prophet. they dated for a few months, breaking up after she was attacked by a demon from king arthur’s times. she was, however, pregnant with his child, and as badly as john wanted to have a kid, he didn’t trust himself to be a good father. so they agreed that danita would raise rose and he would send her money every month. he wanted to keep rose away from the mess that was his life, wanting to keep her safe. despite this agreement, danita would send him updates often and john would always send her presents for her birthday and christmas that danita would give her.
after forming a punk band in the mid 2000s, john and a group of friends that became known as the newcastle crew responded to the rumours of a possession at a local venue in newcastle. upon entering the venue’s basement, they discovered the owner alex logue held a magical orgy involving his daughter astra. she had managed to summon a demon and john decided to summon a stronger demon, but he forgot to bind it, causing the demon he summoned to take astra’s soul and body down to hell and laying claim to john’s soul. after that, he fell into a deep depression, causing him to be institutionalised at ravenscar secure facility for two years.
once john got out, he wanted to actually make some kind of difference, so he started using his magic for good, though he’d never admit he was. given is knowledge of the occult, john would help people with problems most of the magical community would ignore. as voldemort and his death eaters gained more and more power, john knew he had to do something, so he joined the order of the phoenix.
two years ago he felt something happening in the magical community, something powerful and terrifying, so he went to deal with it. last year it came to a head, with most of john’s friends from the newcastle cew being killed, though they defeated the beast voldemort had tried to bring into the world.
present: john spent all of last year teaching defence against the dark arts at hogwarts. he accepted the position, knowing it was cursed, just needing a year away from his life as a whole. it was a nice break from everything, at least at first. while teaching, he ended up meeting his daughter rose properly for the first time, and aside from that, he met a kid named noah ikumelo. after recognising his magical signature, too close to his own and rose’s, john put together who he was. during christmas holidays last year, noah’s mother was attacked by the demon she originally called john about all those years ago and noah witnessed it, the event traumtising enough to make go selectively mute.
during the same break rose’s mother and stepfather were killed, leaving her an orphan, with her grandmother originally taking her in. after leaving hogwarts, john took the both of them in, unable to deal with the idea that his children were going through such horrible things even with him out of their lives.
since then, he’s been trying to be a father, hoping he’s nothing like his own, and fighting for the order.
headcanons:
john is the laughing magician, a title held by people in his family for over a thousand years. he is one of the most powerful magicians on earth because of it, giving him access to any magic on the planet, able to learn it incredibly easily. it also gives him the ability of synchronicity wave surfing, an ability he doesn’t full control over but that protects him from death. he doesn’t tell anyone he’s the current laughing magician, but if someone asks, he won’t deny it either. he can see thestrals.
john’s wand is made of elder wood, has a vampire fang core, is 11 inches long, and is pliant. his patronus has no corporeal form, instead showing up as a massive fog. he pulls on the memory of meeting his best friend chas, and though it’s a bitter memory now, it still produces an incredibly strong patronus. his boggart is his father. amortentia to john smells like whiskey, cigarette smoke, and a propery english fry up.
at seven years old, john was visited by mictlantecuhtli, the aztec god of the dead. this event, where the god said things that wouldn’t make sense for almost 40 years, terrified him at such a young age. it also gave him the power to be a medium, granting john the ability to see noncorporeal ghosts. john killed the god last year.
john’s pet is more of a familiar. he is the rhyming lizard demon named etrigan. etrigan was born thousands of years ago in hell and currently takes the form of a sungazer lizard. he likes to hang out on john’s shoulder and speak in rhymes at anyone who will listen.
since having a transfusion of demon blood years ago, john’s blood has become toxic to vampires. it has killed vampies who have tried to feed from him in the past.

past: born in london to martha and thomas wayne, bruce’s line tracing back on his father’s side to the wayne family that has held dominion over waynemoor castle for centuries and on his mother’s side tracing back to ireland. he grew up loved by his parents the family’s butler alfred and everything was pretty good. that was, until, bruce and his parents went to a movie and on their way back to the car, they were stopped by a muggle mugger. thomas was handing everything over when the gun went off, killing thomas almost instantly. he then shot martha and bruce was left standing there, staring at the man until he ran away.
since then, bruce’s life had changed drastically. the once open and happy kid became closed off and depressed, understandably. it wasn’t until he started at hogwarts and met his lifelong friends tony stark and jolene fisher that he started to open up again. during their sixth year, bruce and tony begin dating after tony confesses his feelings for him and he’s never looked back. after graduating, bruce proposed, knowing that he wanted to spend the rest of his life with with tony. the month after graduating, he leaves to the middle east, to train at nanda parbat under the dark wizard ra’s al ghul. while there, a love spell with a memory charm is cast on him and talia uses bruce to conceive an heir to the al ghul line.
he returns six months later and tony and bruce are brought in by dumbledore to form the order of the phoeinx, a group meant to combat the dark wizard voldemort. months later, bruce and tony get married. bruce becomes an auror, heading up a special team with some of the strongest wizards in the country.
present: just before school started last year, talia showed up and restored bruce’s memory and dropped off their son damian. since then, bruce and tony have been raising him as their son. earlier in the year they adopted dick grayson after witnessing the murder of the kid’s parents.
headcanons:
bruce’s wand is made of aspen wood, has an augurey tail feather core, is 14 ¾ inches long, and is unyielding. his patronus takes the form of a bat and he pulls most often on memories of tony or damian. for tony it’s the day they met, the day they first said i love you, and the day they got married. for damian, it’s when they met and the first tiem damian called him father. his boggart appears as the man who killed his parents. amortentia smells like tony’s cologne, fire smoke in the winter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. he can see thestrals.
in bruce’s third year, he became an animagus. he was incredibly bored and decided to do it. he kept it a secret for years, only ever telling tony. after graduating, he went through the legal process of becoming an animagus and has been registered since he was 18. his animagus form is a grey long eared bat.
at eight years old, bruce’s parents were killed by a man named joe chill. he was imperiused by the knights of walpurgis, the precursor group to the death eaters. bruce watched it happen and ever since he’s been hellbent on getting some kind of peace.
while training with ra’s al ghul, bruce learned ancient and dark magic most people haven’t even heard of. while there, ra’s wanted to name him heir to the league of shadows, but bruce refused and left. he was originally sent to learn from him by the ministry and doing so fast tracked his auror training.
as a child, bruce had a stutter. he went through years of speech therapy to correct it and for the most part, it worked perfectly. it does, however, come back in times of intense emotion.

side (order, death eaters, neutral): order of the phoenix
occupation: dept of mysteries intern
ships / anti-ships: amenjy. only.
personality: kind, sweet, trustworthy, gentle, jealous, hesitant
past: life was deliciously normal for benjy fenwick. he grew up the only child of the fenwick family and spent his time in school with his best friends amelia bones and jeanie smith. he spent all of his school years entirely head over heels for amelia though he never admitted it to anyone but jeanie after she kissed him once.
it was easy for benjy to ignore the war outside of the castle. inside, there was almost no hint of it. students were kept in control by the professors, until things in his fifth year started ramping up heavily. he still tried to ignore it, not wanting to deal with it while he was still just a kid, but that all changed when jeanie was attacked on her way back from hogsmeade. she never opened up to anyone who it was, not even to him or amelia, which made things harder. after that, he was unable to ignore the war.
and, then, the year after that, his parents were attacked by death eaters. his parents, both healers for st mungo’s, were targetted because of their jobs. the attack left his father in a vegetative state meanwhile his mother hasn’t been able to speak since. once he graduated, benjy knew exactly what he had to do: join the order and became an auror. he couldn’t let anyone else he cared about go through what jeanie did, not being able to live with himself if it happened and he could’ve prevented it.
present: benjy is now in his last year of auror training and he’s ready to prove himself. he’s taking on more important and dangerous missions within the order, as well. benjy is still hopelessly in love with amelia bones and he still hasn’t told her, something that makes his friends infuriated beyond belief.
headcanons:
benjy’s wand is made of cypress wood, has a unicorn hair core, is 13 inches long, and is reasonably supple. his patronus takes the form of a st bernard and he pulls on memories of his family. his boggart is a figure shrouded in a dark cloak. amortentia smells like amelia bones’ perfume, cooking food, and strawberries. he cannot see thestrals.
benjy’s favourite thing to do to calm himself down is cooking. his mother started teaching him at a young age and it quickly became their thing. cooking is relaxing for benjy and he is excellent at it.
he visits his parents in st mungo’s at least once a week, often times more. though his father is left in a coma, benjy makes a habit of updating him about his life. with his mother, however, benjy has learned bsl so that the two can communicate. she still resides at st mungo’s because of other conditions the attack left her with, but she is present for everything unlike his father. he hasn’t told her he joined the order.
benjy would join jeanie’s impromptu stairwell concerts, singing and playing guitar alongside her. since graduating, however, he’s stopped singing and playing guitar altogether.
since his school years, benjy has had a russian blue cat named shadow.

past: born to nigerian immigrant olsani smith and bristol native helen smith, jeanie was loved by both her parents. that is until she started showing signs of magic. her devoutly christian mother panicked, terrified that her daughter had been possessed by a demon or spirit of some kind, and she went to churches in bristol, begging priests to exorcise her daughter and re-baptise her. eventually all the churches in town thought helen was crazy. the things she was describing happening around her daughter seemed like hallucinations and instead they referred to get physciatric care. it only got worse when jeanie’s younger brother alec started expressing magic, as well.
now doubly panicked, helen smith tried to baptise her children herself, resulting alec nearly drowning as she held him under the water in the tub for too long. olasani had his wife committed and he divorced her. the year after jeanie started at hogwarts, and though she’d been through a lot in her first 11 years, she was a bright and happy girl.
she was resilient, bouncing back from everything with her mother with ease, until the 22nd of november, 2017. on her way to hogsmeade a seventh year slytherin, jonas mulciber, stopped her in her tracks and spelled her wand away. he knocked her out and took her to the shrieking shack nearby and proceeded to torture her with the cruciatus curse for twelve hours straight, enjoying every second of it.
he left her, bleeding and broken, to die. he didn’t care if she did; would have actually preferred it if she had died. but, unbeknownst to almost anyone at hogwarts, remus lupin was getting ready for the full moon and going to the shrieking shack to safely transform, when he found jeanie smith there. he carried her back as far as he could, texting marlene to take her back to the infirmary.
rumours flew around the school after that night. only remus and marlene were told by her who had actually attacked her. after all, mulciber had threatened to kill people she cared about if she told anyone who had attacked her were she to survive.
on her second day in the infirmary, it was well known around the school that whoever attacked jeanie was a slytherin. later that day sebastian o'shannon, a slytherin in her year, came by with a plate of cookies, trying to make her feel better. he puts his hand on her arm and instantly she was transported back in time a thousand years, a memory of rowena ravenclaw clear as day in her mind.
after that, jeanie only grew closer to sebastian, as he was the reincarnation of salazar slytherin. he confirmed to her that she was rowena reincarnated after they stole the sorting hat, who was overjoyed to see rowena return to hogwarts, though the hat was confused that it hadn’t noticed earlier.
present: since graduating, jeanie has become an auror. though she knows it could get her outed as a reincarnation due to the advanced magic she has mastered, jeanie knows she needs to do something to protect people. the only people aware of her status as a reincarnation outside of the founders are bruce and tony wayne, having told them in her seventh year when she joined the order.
headcanons:
jeanie’s wand is made of laurel wood, has a phoenix feather core, is nine inches long, and is unyielding. her patronus takes the form of a golden eagle. she draws on the memory of being sorted into ravenclaw and ever since that moment, she’s connected deeply with eagles. if she pulls on rowena’s memories, the patronus can appear as a crowned eagle instead. her boggart takes the form of her mother helen. for jeanie, amortentia smells like lavender filling a room, woodsmoke from a fire on a cold winter’s night, the smell of guava on a summer’s day.
jeanie can see thestrals. not because of her own experiences, but because of rowena’s memories. rowena helped people die with dignity, being there for them in their last moments and helping their spirits move on. because of this, rowena witnessed countless deaths, and through obtaining rowena’s memories, jeanie witnessed them too, revealing the thestrals to her.
every summer, from 14 to 17, jeanie worked in her father’s book store in bristol. he’s owned it for 20 years and she and her little brother alec would help out often. she loved helping out and would’ve continued after 17, but after graduating from hogwarts she decided to get involved in the order of the phoenix. books are still incredibly important to her.
after she joined the order and the war, people around her would die. the way she would cope with this is taking down an old hat box from her stepmother and putting the pictures of the dead in it. she stored it under her bed. this hat box is still with her, still under her bed, still has all the pictures of her dead friends and comrades.
starting in fifth year, jeanie got horrible nightmares. she would wake up screaming, waking up her roommates almost every night for a week. madam pomfrey gave her a potion to help her sleep without nightmares and it worked for awhile, until it stopped working, almost like she built up a tolerance to it. she would go days without sleep until she would crash on a couch in the common room. she’d still wake up screaming, though. this still happens to her and she tries really hard to not sleep around people.

past: life was good for marlene in the beginning. she and her twin sister sarah grew up the youngest of six siblings and she loved every second of it. though separated by over a decade from her oldest siblings amber and mitchell, she always felt close with them. the mckinnons grew up with no knowledge of how bad the wizarding world was getting outside of their little bubble of happiness. when she started school, marlene heard stories about the knights of walpurgis and this terrifying dark lord, but part of her thought they were just scary stories to keep kids in line.
it wasn’t until she was thirteen that she realised how wrong she was. while she and her twin sister were walking down diagon alley with their father, ice cream cones in hand, tragedy struck. two death eaters apparated in out of nowhere and duelled him. sarah ran screaming, trying to get help, but marlene was frozen in fear and she just watched, watched so long that she heard one of the death eaters say avada kedavra. marlene was thirteen when she watched father die before her before help could arrive, not that it would make a difference.
she grew bitter after that, not wanting to let anyone in, terrified they leave her like her father had. she grew angry, too, so angry that she would end up in detention multiple times a month for fighting a bully. she closed herself off from most of her friends and family, pretending that she preferred to be alone. it wasn’t until dorcas forced her way in that she started to open up again.
distant cousins started being killed after that. the mckinnons, and many other clans in scotland, ireland, and wales came from old lineages of druids, the magical community that occupied the british isles long before the romans or normans or vikings arrived. they had their own society and rules, practised magic in a completely different way, and those teachings were carried on over the years, no matter how hard the invaders tried to stamp them out. her mother sat the siblings down one christmas holiday to tell them how important it was that they hid their druidic knowledge from the world and she especially stressed it to marlene, who had inherited the strongest druidic gifts in her family.
voldemort was picking off the druids one by one, killing them when they refused to join his cause. they had a magic that he was intrigued by. the druids, however, are a rather insular community, wanting to keep their magic secret from the world, thinking it would protect them. how wrong they were. so marlene hid who she was from the world, didn’t tell anyone aside from a few friends, terrified that if others knew they’d get hurt or worse.
during her seventh year of school, marlene got in a fight with a death eater hopeful and got hurt badly, causing remus to panic when he visited her in the hospital wing. they ended up admitting they had feelings for each other and have been dating since.
present: much to her family’s disapproval, marlene immediately joined the aurors when she graduated school. the war has already taken so much of her family and they don’t want to lose her too, but she can’t sit back and do nothing.
headcanons:
marlene’s wand is made of ebony wood, has a core of wulver hair, is nine and a half inches long, and is slightly springy. her patronus is a bengal cat. when she was young, she would pull on the memory of getting her first cat duchess, who was a bengal. now, she pulls on the memories of finding out she was pregnant or the day gwenyth was born. her boggart is her daughter being dead. amortentia for marlene smells like the wind on a cool summer’s night, a fire crackling under roasting food, stew on a chilly winter morning, and caradoc’s cologne. she can see thestrals.
marlene’s father marcus planted the whomping willow the year remus began at school. whomping willows are common in druid forests and accomplished druids have no problem going up to them. given that this tree was cultivated by her father, she is, essentially, friends with it. she first discovered this in her fifth year when she got too close on a dare and the tree didn’t attack her. being back at hogwarts means seeing the tree again, something that makes her very happy.
in the summer between her fifth and sixth year, marlene became an animagus. her form takes on that of a bengal cat. she kept it secret pretty well until she was found out by professor mcgonagall, who then helped her become a registered animagus so she could avoid the punishments of being unregistered. her distinctive markings are stripes that look suspiciously like eyebrows. as moira lloyd, she kept her animagus status secret from non-druids.
the mckinnon family comes from the dalriada region of scotland, originating near kyleakin on the isle of sky. they are descended from cináed mac ailpin, and as such are part of the seven clans that make up the siol alpin family of scottish clans. though her family resided in glasgow for years, most of the mckinnon family still lives on the isle of sky. this is where she apparated to after her family was attacked. being from old gaelic blood, their magic is rooted in druidic origins, and as such, they have a strong connection to nature as a whole, gaining much of their power from simply being in nature. marlene is the only one in her family that had such strong druidic powers. when using her natural druidic abilities, a vine and leaf pattern blossoms at the edges of her face. after years of being an accomplished and powerful druid, if you look closely enough, you can see the patterns on her jawline and near her ears, though they are incredibly faint.
marlene knew about remus being a werewolf, having been told by him when she was in her fifth year. that’s why she became an animagus, wanting to be there for him if she could be.
