✓ ❣ ✖

✓ : Name at least two people who can trust them with their life.

Rodolphus and Lucius.

❣: Describe a way that will earn affection (whether platonic or romantic) from them.

Don’t try and fake it with Rabastan. Bravado can only get you so far, Rabastan has no patience for his time being wasted. Be straightforward and honest with him. Acknowledge that Rodolpus is very important to him. When it comes to competition between the two, Rabastan will always step back and let Rodolphus get what he wants. Instinctively, he has more of a tolerance for the kids he grew up with because he’s known them so long and some of the Slytherin pureblood know how bad the parents can be. Be unapologetically who you are - he can respect that. 

✖ : Describe a way to make them uneasy or apprehensive.

Badmouth his brother, honestly. Attempt to pretend to know anything about his family.

✏ ✉ ♡ ۞

✏ : What are their creative outlets?

Other than astronomy and astrology, Septima doesn’t do anything incredibly creative on her own. She absorbs the creativity of others - her academic interests widely vary and she’ll listen to you talk about whatever interests you as well.

✉ : Do they tend to rely on words or actions more?

Definitely words. Septima will listen to what you say, even if it’s in great contradiction to what you do. She’s very easy to manipulate that way, because she always wants to believe in the best in people, so she always tries to trust them. 

♡ : Is there a certain scent that brings about nostalgia? If so, describe a memory this scent brings back.

Pine. Her mother was always very demanding about getting a real pine tree at Christmas each year, and that is the one time of year that Septima feels truly accepted by her family. Pine, the warmth and happiness of Christmas, and love. Family.

۞: Are there any inner demons they can never seem to get rid of? What are they?

Septima is constantly looking for love. She’s always trying to figure out what she can do to make sure people like her. It’s part of why she’ll go into Arithmancy as a career - she’s trying to see what happens in the future, and if people can be trusted. Ultimately she finds out that she’s genuinely good at it and enjoys teaching, but those are not her initial motivations. 

The youngest of seven in a materialist and power hungry family means that unless she can prove herself in a way different from her siblings, she gets little attention or affection. As such, she looks for it from anyone, in any way, even at her the expense of her own well being.
