💋, 🧡, 📙, ⭐, 🍐, 💙, 🔮 and 🎀 for my girl Cass!!
💋 How affectionate are they with their friends? Their family? Their romantic partner(s) (if they have any)? Are they more physical or emotional when it comes to displaying their affection? Why?
She isn’t that affectionate with her family! Her mum cuddles her a lot but Cass just rolls her eyes at her - being away from home for most of the year, she’s not all that close to them. She loves Cedric and she’s close to him, but they have that kind of sibling relationship were they enjoy winding each other up (through love, of course). She is affectionate with some of her friends - Hannah and Justin, the Weasley twins, Ginny, and later on with Harry too. She tries to be affectionate with Ron but he’s an awkward sod isn’t he, as soon as she tries to hug him he starts muttering and shoves her away!
She would love to be physically affectionate with Draco - like she wants to hold his hand, his her arm through his, lean into him as they’re walking down the corridor - but she knows that when they’re around other people it makes him feel uncomfortable so she holds back a lot. I suppose in that way she is emotionally affectionate with him, because she knows what he needs/wants, and she doesn’t push him.
🧡 Who is your OC’s favourite person? Why is this person the top of their list and have they actually met them (an idol or rolemodel or celeb can be someone’s favourite after all!).
Up until third year, her idol was definitely Cedric. Everyone loved him - he was popular, smart, and an all round nice person. She was super proud and happy to look up to her big brother.
But then she met Professor Lupin, and he was the one who noticed things about her that no one else really did - like that she felt she was living in her brother’s shadow, she needed to become her own person, not just Cedric Diggory’s little sister. Remus is 100% her hero and she adores him, she couldn’t wish for a better surrogate father figure!
📙 What kind of subjects (of conversation, of discussion, in school or whatever) does your OC find interesting or engaging or that they can talk for hours about? What kind of stuff do they just find fun?
School subject, she l o v e s potions even though she isn’t the BEST at it. She definitely helps Hagrid between classes as well because she loves care of magical creatures! She finds divination so interesting but it’s just not for her (and also Professor Trelawney properly creeps her out).
⭐ What is your OC afraid of? Any crippling phobias or some such? How do they act when scared and what helps them calm down? Does anyone ever find your OC scary? Why?
Bit scared of Lucius Malfoy tbh because he’s a heartless prick. She doesn’t really have any crippling phobias - she has a pretty good life up until Cedric dies, and that’s the worst thing that could ever happen to her so she figures she doesn’t really have anything left to be afraid one. No one really finds her scary, but Ron knows to back off when she’s in a bad mood!
🍐 What is your OC’s mentality? Are they overall positive? Negative? A bit of both? Describe their thought patterns and reasoning behind their choice making!
Hmm... It depends, really. She was a generally positive person (she was quite annoying), but obviously bad things happen in her mid-teens and she realises the world isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, bad things can and do happen, so she becomes a bit more... not negative, but realistic! Cass doesn’ really have a though process behind what she does - if she thinks something will make her or someone else happy, she’ll just do it!.
💙 What did your OC want to be when they grew up and why? Did they have any lifelong dreams or ambitions they never got to work on or are they currently working to achieve this dream? Has their life taken a very unexpected turn and put all these plans on hold for a while or have they given up on any dreams?
When she was a kid she wanted to grow up to be a healer! But as she grew up, she became really interested in animals and in herbology and she wanted to work for the ministry doing something along those lines. Her life 100% takes an unexpected turn - she never thought she would become romantically involved with Draco Malfoy. She hasn’t really given up any dreams, they’ve just changed and evolved as she’s grown up. She makes new dreams when she realises she wants Draco to be a part of her life.
🔮 Star gazing or cloud watching? Hand-holding or snuggles? Early mornings or late nights?
Star gazing definitely. Both, but she would rather have snuggled (in private, of course). Deffo late nights - she is usually one of the last people in the common room, the fire almost out with her nose buried in a book.
🎀 Do they wear a specific accessory with a special meaning behind it? What is their usual fashion sense like? What do they wear when they want to be comfortable and what do they wear when they’re going to a fancy party? Or do they just not care?
It’s not an accessory but in her fifth year, she wears Cedric’s school sweater a lot, as a way to keep him with her, and she keeps tie around one of the posts on her bed.
She just wears whatever she’s comfortable in, she’s not too fussed about the latest ~fashions or looking perfect. Give her jeans, a tshirt and a hoody, and she’s good to go.
