aesthetics –––
coffee grounds spilled on the kitchen floor, bandaged knuckles, bruises beneath tired eyes, ink stains on sore fingers, the coppery ring of a lie, the ripped hem of an expensive dress, cigarette smoke in a marble foyer, a hard gulp before an uncomfortable truth and an easy lie, bubble gum popping in a long silence, forgetting what it is to laugh uninhibited
summary –––
born into pureblood society but too Loud™ to really ever fit in
was involved in the dueling club, astronomy club, care of magical creatures club, gobstones club.... she always just did too much, since she was burdened with familial responsibility, and born with a proclivity for overachieving and burning herself out.
is born into the sacred 28, and jives with it for a while; she’s a habitual people-pleaser but soon learns that her empathy and her capacity for protecting those who cannot protect themselves far outweighs family ideals.
also bigot who???? she can’t relate
but with a dubious family life, she’s used to maintaining the facade; when she is ready to graduate, she is contacted by Albus Dumbledore, who asks her to maintain contact with her Sacred 28 contacts during her auror training. and so she does as she is asked, and then is placed under heavy scrutiny for her connections to a cause that is very much not her own.
so basically she’s a hard-ass auror with a potty mouth and a proclivity for tackling bad guys, but when she’s asked to go under cover... who is she to say no?
was thought to be the spoiled little rich girl, but she’s not above taking a punch
and so she “defected” and joined the death eaters
it was an enormous public scandal, and her name was sullied, but what are ya gonna do lmao
she’s a mom friend that’s hardass afraid of kids
has a bit of a dependency on alcohol, and a dear love of cigarettes -- but if frank, who’s basically the only person still close to her in secret at the moment, were to ask her to quit... she’d do it
basically has the worst daddy issues ever to the point that she’d infiltrate her dad’s friend group in the name of fucking them up, even if it means she’s found out and killed, so fuck dads am i right???

BIOGRAPHY;
Alice Fortescue was born as the sky split in two- Uncle Florean likes to say the storm outside took possession of her soul from the moment she emitted her first cry. Not due to the fact that she brings misery, he had explained as his six year old niece cried when he first made the analogy, but because she was one big contradiction: she had the ability to bring both life and destruction to everything she touched. She could either be a comforting background noise or a demand to be heard. “ You can do anything you want with this world- you have that ability.” he had finished, pulling her into a hug as the pair waited for word about her parents.
Fydor and Ignacia Florean were the loveliest pair around town- just ask their neighbors. Fydor being a Squib and Ignacia being a muggle meant that Alice had a fairly normal childhood. Her father worked at a music shop, her mother at the local elementary school. They loved each other, they loved their daughter, and everything was perfect. Until, of course, it wasn’t. In the blink of an eye, her parents car is found by the side of the road. “An accident.” the muggle police rule it, but even Uncle Florean is unable to shield Alice from all of the wizarding world gossip- or the fact that ‘SQUIB SCUM’ was written across the hood of their car in blood. This was the moment when Alice decided she wanted to become an Auror. Not exactly, of course: she didn’t know what that was at the time. But this was what caused her to see injustice in the world and vow to devote her life fighting it.
The next six years were spent with Uncle Florean and Aunt Dezmelda in Diagon Alley, before she was shipped off to Hogwarts. During this time, she became quite the polymath- she met so many different people who imparted such different kinds of information to her, whether it was how to waltz or that a bolt of lightning is six times hotter than the sun. She learned that when you blush, the lining of your stomach also turns red while a Healer from Germany taught her how to set a broken bone. It was then that Alice discovered her love for learning, which caused her to be one of, if not THE, most excited kid on the Hogwarts Express.
There, by the way, is where she met Frank Longbottom. He stumbles into her compartment halfway through the journey, all messy hair and a kind smile. “ Can I sit here? My friends are being prats.” are the first words he ever speaks to her, and for some reason, she lets him stay. They’re thick as thieves after that, despite him being a bit older. And that’s the story of how she met her best friend.
Once she gets to Hogwarts, it’s almost exactly what she imagined: her days are filled with so much knowledge, and sure, there are annoying people, and she still isn’t the biggest Quidditch fan, though she does go to support her friends, but once everyone gets over the fact that yes, her parents were murdered and yes, she was a hatstall for like four minutes as the hat couldn’t decide if she would be better in Slytherin or Ravenclaw, everything is pretty smooth sailing. Of course, that’s when tragedy strikes.
Dezmelda Fortescue’s body is found in a river near her childhood home. The case is closed without ever finding the murderer, but there are whispers that she was killed for being a ‘blood traitor’. Of course, this is when Alice looses it. There are more and more papers with missing people, whispers of Death Eaters as they progress through fifth year, and Alice decides she won’t sit down and take it any longer. She reads and reads and reads everything about Wizarding Law, rocks her N.E. W. T. S and gets to Auror training faster than anyone can blink. She won’t just sit back and see innocents subjected to abuse by those who deem themselves ‘more worthy’ of jack.

ALICE FORTESCUE ✖ SEVENTH YEAR ✖ PUREBLOOD ✖ RAVENCLAW
This character is portrayed by [ stefanie scott, jasmine sanders, nicola peltz ] and is [OPEN].
BEFORE HOGWARTS
Alice grew up cherished and loved. Her father was known as the ‘ice cream man’. Alice spent most of her days in the shop with her parents. Her mother, a French witch who had moved to England for Mr. Fortescue was the one who named every flavor in the establishment. She knew every flavor by the time she was five. When she wasn’t at the shop, she was playing in the flower fields behind the Fortescue home. Daisies and Roses would soon become her favorite things to wear in her hair.
Before leaving to Hogwarts, tragedy stuck the family. Alice’s mother was murdered. They believe it was by members of her mothers family. Though, no one knows. Miss. Fortescue began to change. Once a naive girl grew to be a victim of the war, she began to study and read, she was going to learn even if it killed her.
AT HOGWARTS
Once Alice got to Hogwarts, everyone knew what house she would be in. Her father and grandparents had been in Ravenclaw - it was only natural. Books and clubs were what kept her grounded. Dueling Club was where she showed her true potential, numerous people were genuinely afraid to duel her. During one week of the club, she met Frank Longbottom and a friendship began. They bonded over their mutual love of the Auror department and how they both intended to join. Frank was the only one to know about her mother to the complete details.
Alice began to read more and study harder. She had decided not long after her mother died that she wanted to become an Auror. They were the people who tried to find her mothers killer, Alice wanted to be better though. She actually wanted to find the murderers. She became known as the fast one, a nickname given to her because of how fast she could knock you on your ass. A befitting nickname, really. Frank and her began to grow closer and are now considered best friends, two peas in a pod.
She is finally in her last year and is working to complete her NEWT’s. Alice has already contacted the Auror department about apply, something she is determined to do. In her free time, she knits, something only Frank and those closest to her knows about.
EXTRA BITS
When Alice’s mother was killed, she did a complete 180. Once upon a time she wanted to be a Healer, like her mother, but things changed. Knitting reminds her of her mother, she mostly knits hats and gloves for the younger students within the castle.
Her favorite thing to read is Shakespeare, it’s a hobby.
i feel like it’s necessary to give a little background to the five frenchies i’ve got b/c i’m too lazy to do a real bio for any of them yet.
alice, ezra, ruby, nova, and henry are all from Marseilles, France
henry, ezra, and ruby together are a band called KNOVVLEDGE
henry plays the guitar, and he’s just a chill little guy who minds his own business and isn’t particularly interested in the fame they’ve got
ezra is the diva lead singer who acts like he owns the place anytime he goes anywhere, and he’s a total ladies man who soaks up the fame like a sponge
ruby is the one who brought the two idiots together and she’s the drummer. she’s tough and fiery and is the only person in the world that can control ezra
alice and nova are NOT in the band
alice is ezra’s younger sister, and she’s not too pleased about living in the shadow of her brother’s huge ego her entire life, so she’s quite bitchy.
nova is ruby’s twin sister and they’re often mistaken for each other (enough that even henry and ezra have problems discerning the two sometimes) and she’s a total space geek, like, talk to her about stars or the moon and she’ll love you forever.
