               ⌂ Emma Goettlich ⌂ 17 ⌂ Year 2 ⌂ Haus Gold ⌂

⌂ Story

Emma spent her childhood always on the move, with two wealthy parents perennially struck by wanderlust.  By the time Emma was 11, she had lived in Gujarat (where she born), Hong Kong, Istanbul, Cairo, Tripoli, Athens, Venice, Paris, and Amsterdam. Emma learned many languages during these years, and learned an array of different magical practices, but, more importantly, Emma decided certain truths about life. Watching her parents, Emma decided that she too should always get exactly what she wanted, when she wanted it. Learning to interact with new friends, often with major language barriers, Emma decided that quickly and accurately assessing one’s surroundings was paramount. Most importantly, moving from place to place, Emma decided that nothing in life was permanent. Nothing was eternal and, therefore, nothing could be sacred. Finally, when Emma was 12, the Goettlichs returned to the German states. Or, rather, Emma and her older brother, Friedrich, were sent home, while their parents continued their travels. Restricted to the family estate, Emma was supposed to work towards becoming a proper young witch. She would someday represent the Goettlichs to the world – and hopefully do a better job than her father had, her grandmother always added – so Emma had to act accordingly.

Though Emma learned to present herself properly, she flatly refused to learn to think properly. Emma continued to dream of far-off places and adventures, wondering when life could become exciting again. She felt totally caged in and restless, eager for any sort of change, any opportunity for rebellion. Her grandparents always called her wild, and Emma learned to accept the insult as a badge of honor. Schluchtenburg hasn’t been much different, and Emma didn’t expect for it to be. She has more opportunities to get into trouble, of course, and more outlets for her restlessness, but Emma cannot help but feel that she is wasting her time. While she is stuck at Schluchtenburg, the entire world calls Emma’s name. Emma just wants to call back.

              ⌂ Adelinde Graf ⌂ 16 ⌂ Year 1 ⌂ Haus Gold ⌂ 

⌂ Story

Adelinde loved her mother. She loved the way she threw her hair, the way her laugh sounded when the summer wind rustled through the trees, and the way she would sometimes place a quiet kiss to her husband’s cheek and he would always smile. She loved how she was a gentle grace attributed with a bright mind, how her watchful eyes saw everything while her lips were always curved upwards but never parted to comment on what she observed. Adelinde wanted to be like her. She wanted to be as perfect as the woman who raised her, to be as elegant and dignified, to be the best example of what it meant to be the wealthiest and most famous pure-blood family of the continental Wizarding World.  But when her mother died, Adelinde was left with no one to look up to. Though she still had her brothers, worth a thousand worlds, she couldn’t fathom how a man would ever replace her mother’s role. Certainly, she knew all too many people who had it worse, that she was still blessed with money and the security of power, but why did no one ever seem to notice that everything tastes the same when you always eat it from a silver spoon? 

Her first day at Schluchtenburg was reported by the news, the entire world seemed to be watching as the young Graf smiled her way through pain, anxiety and insecurities. Oh, and Adelinde played her part so well. One would have barely noticed how every morning she woke up with dark circles under her eyes and hands shaking. All the money, all the power, what was it worth if you were still at a risk to mess up? All the money, all the power, it somehow had to be maintained. But how did you hold something safe if your hands were shaking so much? Adelinde is in many ways the perfect student. She is always at the top of her class, polite, and adored by her professors, but she had never been good at creating things on her own. No art seemed to flourish by her hands. Yet, sometimes, when she watches her house-mates doing what they love doing, whether that is painting or singing, reading or swimming, watches them being themselves, being free, she feels a little safer, and smiling doesn’t even hurt anymore.
