“Are you sure you want me to read your tea leaves?” Usually, it would have been an instant yes. But she had been feeling on edge all day and she was tired. And she should probably say no but...her love of the pastime overshadowed all of that. “If I do you need to promise not to get mad if it’s something bad.”

“It’s amazing how quickly things can go from ‘bad’ to 'total shit-storm’." 

[seertobelieve]

“Amazing. And yet not overly surprising. It’s actually quite sad how often it happens.”

Andromeda was blessed to not ever really need that much sleep. She regularly stayed up late and woke up early, and normally it didn’t bother her, but today was one of those rare days her lack of sleep caught up to her. Her Astronomy textbook sat open on the table in front of her, but she was more dozing off than reading. “Hm…” she nodded in agreement with the individual who started speaking to her, before realizing that she had absolutely no idea what they had just said, “Sorry, what?”

“I asked if you were okay. You looked like you were about to fall asleep.” Sybill chuckled lightly. “Do you maybe wanna take a break? We can come back to this another time.” Honestly, she could do with a break as well. But she didn’t have a reason for one other than she was just bored of working on her homework.

“You can’t marry everyone who’s nice.” 

[seertobelieve]

“I’m not...who am I marrying? Did I miss something? Because otherwise, that doesn’t make any sense.”

Growing up Sybill was fascinated with her Great Great Grandmother  Cassandra Trelawney. She became fascinated with the idea of Seers and prophecies. But she never expected that she would ever have the gift. Though she still isn’t completely convinced that she does. And most people that she brings it up too scoff and say she is just making it up for attention.

But she has been getting more “visions” and “sensing” things the last couple of years.

It started with just having a feeling that someone was off. And then the next day a student would be hurt or there would be a fight within the school, or there would be more bad news about the war. But she put that down to being scared of the war in general. Not that she was sensing anything was going to happen.

And then she started to have the dreams. She never remembers everything that happens but she would remember who she had the dream about. And a sense of dread would wash over her. Sometimes she tries to warn them but more often than not she comes across as crazy. So most of the time she tries her best to ignore the cloud that seemed to stay over her head until something actually happened. And she hates that, in a way, she gets relieved when something does go wrong. Because that means she isn’t crazy. Right?

She can go long periods of time without sleeping because of her dreams. During that time she usually has quick naps on the Ravenclaw couches and spends her nights either doing little crafts or reading to keep her brain occupied.

She does love reading tea leaves though. She will read peoples leaves at any time of the day. And even keeps some supplies in her bag just in case.

She always loves Astronomy and like spending time up in the tower. It makes her feel peaceful being up that high in a weird way.

How she ended up in Ravenclaw she has no idea. She feels like she belongs in Hufflepuff if she was being honest with herself. She doesn’t have the smarts, or creativity, to be in Ravenclaw. And she can barely manage to figure out the answer to the riddle on most days to get into the tower. Sometimes she needs to wait for someone else to show up to actually let her inside. Her grades are okay but she’s never really been focused on them.

She does excel at Divination though. Obviously.

The war...doesn’t interest her. Not that she doesn't care about innocent people getting hurt! More so that she tries her best to ignore that it is even happening. Because she can feel herself zoning out every time she thinks about it. She doesn’t like the terrible feeling she gets in her gut. Like something big will happens. Though she can't put her finger on what.

She is a real sweetheart really. She likes making people happy. And if you want her to be happy then just give her a cup of tea and maybe some biscuits. 

Is a little naive and tends to believe anything that people tell her.

She's from a small village in Ireland and her accent can get a little thick sometimes when she's worked up.

She has a pet Black cat called Cas after her Grandmother.

wanted connections:

friends! a character always needs some friends.

exes - i’m gonna say she has dated only two people. and they can be any gender. both would have ended on friendly terms.

crush - its really easy for Sybill to get a crush on someone though she tends to not have the courage to actually confess her feelings. so a little unrequited crush could be cute!

someone just come love this little muffin please <3

would be cool to have her have a dream about your character and maybe tell them something is gonna happen? she will seem a bit crazy but that’s where the fun is!

bullys - come make my baby miserable because i need angst in my life. a fun plot might be if she mentions to a DE character that she saw the truth in one of her dreams and they are bullying her to keep her silent.

anything honestly i’ll take all connections/plots!
