truth be told, the yaxleys are a pretty mismatched bunch. with a venezuelan-english father and a polish-israeli mother, they are at least proud in the fact that they’re pureblood, if not the stereotype of the well-to-do english family. but, that’s not quite the case. ida yaxley’s mother was a muggle woman from the village her family lived in and her (and subsequently her children’s) blood status has been kept a secret from the rest of the wizarding world for fear that they would be shunned.
except, they’ve found that there’s enough reason to shun them anyway. corban hates his parents for the disgusting things they do; his father’s penchant for magical halflings (read: having sex with them) and his mother’s love for house elves (he claims she loves them more than she loves her children), they don’t fit the pureblood lineage they were born into and he hates it. their daughter, aliyah, on the other hand, is the spitting image of her mother and plays more into their parents’ hands. she’s kind, and sweet like ida, but has a sharp edge and a wicked wit like charles. through someone she cares not to speak too much about, she had a daughter and, like her mother, she’s followed in the footsteps of the light rather than the dark, as her uncle has.
in the marauders timeline, ida sadly passed away in the mid-70s and the family well and truly fractured; corban was drawn even more to the dark side and resented his father and sister, and aliyah stayed in the yaxley manor with charles and, subsequently, her daughter.
the portrayals are very flexible and as ida is half-israeli and half-polish and charles is half-english half-venezuelan, finding exact matches for the ethnicity of their children was pretty difficult. however, if you don’t feel comfortable or believe we’re wrong to have the portrayals we’ve chosen then please let us know!! subsequently, if you would rather aliyah and her daughter were latinx, or corban was israeli and have another portrayal in mind, we are more than happy to discuss that. the portrayals above from left to right are sean teale, gal gadot and odeya rush. the names of the characters are open apart from corban as he’s an actual hp canon; the ages of the family are as follows, aliyah (33), corban (30), granddaughter (21).
if you wish to talk to myself or pearl, our discords are jim hopper#8850 and joyce byers#3947
we’re super open for collaboration and bringing these characters to life (●´ω｀●)
