03.1 HEADCANONS
she has a magical suitcase with an undetectable extension charm which acts as potions lab — it rarely leaves her house, though;
although she has access to her inheritance — given that she has reached twenty-one without being disowned —, she has nowhere as much access to her family vaults as her other siblings;
she does not drink beer, but will accept almost any other type of alcohol;
is terribly scared of insects, but has learnt to overcome it due to her potions making;
she will snort if she laughs too much — pandora will also frequently squint her eyes instead of putting on her glasses (farsighted);
has almost zero knowledge of muggle figure of speech — raised very posh;
whenever dorita is close to crying, she’ll stick her tongue to the top of her mouth;
she crosses her ankles instead of her legs;
her middle name is after the brightest star in the constellation of lyra — related to the myth of orpheus and eurydice.
04. BIOGRAPHY
the very night pandora came screaming and kicking into the world, a devastating bout of rain flooded the streets of london — to the surprise of many that had taken advantage of the strong sun earlier during the day. the thunderstorms that announced her birth gave her mother a fright, surprised at the noise made for the birth of just another daughter. there were no tears in belvina yaxley’s eyes, but the sky wept for premature pandora. quite promptly, she was separated from her mother, wrapped and taken into intensive care. for roughly eight hours, spells were cast, potions were fed and ointments were used — and, at the end of sure careful treatment, she was entrusted into the careless hands of her mother.
inside the rosier household, there was a rigid structure and hierarchy — her father sat at the head of the table, a frigid statue of impassivity; then, at his right side, her mother stayed primly-posed with her neck held high; at his left side, there sat her four-years-older sister, face blank to the best of her capabilities, limited by her young age. and now there was pandora; albeit seated beside her sister, her spirit sat at the other end of the table, as far from the stony statues as possible — the picture of a lonely island, not part of the continent of house rosier.
as with most wizards, there was a clearly-marked point in her life which catalogued moments as “before hogwarts” and “after hogwarts”. there is not much pandora can say about her earlier life except that she learnt the rules, she talked when talked to and she followed the path laid by her sister; there were endless balls and social functions, but none memorable enough to constitute a good memory. the moment she entered hogwarts for the first time and was sorted into ravenclaw is, in her mind, the turning-point, the watershed, le moment critique. even now, pandora can close her eyes and very clearly see the floating candles, feel the texture of the house table wood, smell her favourite dessert being served on the welcome banquet — berliners filled with yellow custard. even looking at the night sky sometimes will bring her back to that moment.
that is not to say that there weren’t negative emotion involved with hogwarts — the stark disappointment when her father’s response to ravenclaw had been a lacking “acceptable”, her fall from a broom during third year while racing her sister, the moment she found out her inept parents would have another child. hogwarts could not be tainted by a couple of terrible memories; it was there that pandora thrived not only academically but spiritually. where she met xeno...
xenophilius was one year older than her, a somewhat aloof constant during her schooling. her sister heavily disapproved of him, but she always disapproved of so much in life.
once it became clear pandora had a gift for spell casting and potion making, the only way forward was a combination of alchemy and spell theory — the combination gave way to many inventions while still at hogwarts. pandora got an easy early admission into the unspeakables with a training period of five years. at first, her parents had been uncharacteristically proud of her achievement — they had thrown a costly ball in commemoration — but they grew tired with time, always wondering when she would finally get married, finally have children. not with xenophilius, of course, it would be much better if it were to a black or lestrange, even to a fawley. at one point, her mother was desperate enough to think of the potter boy.
it was then that talks of the “dark lord” started, the efforts of enforcing a “good pureblood upbringing” were doubled with talks of “sympathisers”, “mudbloods” and “muggle-lovers”. her sister took it all with a straight face, but pandora’s hands trembled under the table, eyes shaking. it still took her two years after hogwarts to get out of the house and find her own place, armed with whatever she had available out of her inheritance. she moved into a tiny loft above a potions supplier store in diagon alley. left-behind was her brother, still at hogwarts.
a few years later, there pandora was, an unspeakable engaged to her hogwarts boyfriend — but was it all she wanted in life?
canonically, there is no information on her family previous to marrying xeno — there is also no official family tree of the rosiers or the yaxley’s that i could find;
in canon, luna would be conceived in june of 1980 if considered carried to term.
wanted connections
♫ [ i stayed there / dust collected on my pinned-up hair ] [ that old familiar body ache / the snaps from the same little breaks in your soul / you know when it’s time to go ]
[ four-years-older sister / younger brother ] pandora’s sister left their family home as soon as she could, prepped with an approved match for their household, leaving her sister behind to stare at the immaculate rugs. once pandora left, there stayed her younger brother, to feel the same kind of betrayal. her brother is the heir of her house.
♫ [ you keep me on a rope / and tied a noose around my throat / you’re gone, then back at my door ]
[ xenophilius lovegood ] an on-again, off-again relationship. they are always arguing about what might seem like the smallest differences, always breaking up and coming back together like a reparo-ed fallen cup. xeno is more whimsical, idealistic, while pandora lives more in the real world, even if she tries very hard to change it.
♫ [ i say the wrong shit at the right times / if i’m offending them, i don’t mind / maybe they should all listen to me / it isn’t all about what you see ]
[ abrasive best friend ] someone who, like pandora, is very honest, but does not know how to string their sentences together in a manner that sounds nice — and so they come off as abrasive or rude unintentionally.
♫ [ we are wild / we are like young volcanoes ]
[ group of friends ] the ones she goes to for the pub nights and the random concerts. pandora is very pragmatic and work-focused, but she needs an inspiration boost every once in a while.
♫ [ what am i gonna do / not grab your wrist? / i could be a better boyfriend than him / i could do the shit that he never did ]
[ a female on-again, off-again ] this person absolutely thinks pandora should end her relationship with xenophilius and find someone better — preferably her. whenever pandora and xeno are on a break, this is who she runs to.
just a note that these are all suggestions and i’m up to pretty much anything as long as we can flash out details.
