Hello, dear! You've been visited by the random character question fairy! :D ~☆
Does your character ever feel superior to others? What traits in other people make them feel superior or inferior? Do they ever act on these feelings?
Thank you fairy! I'm going to answer this for Lori because I've been neglecting her
Lori often searches out ways to be superior to her peers. She's the kind of person who feels very insecure if someone is even slightly better than her at anything, which is why her lacking grades always make her so upset. To combat this, she's made herself physically strong (could beat you up, therefore better than you) and has convinced herself that her weaknesses are actually strengths, such as her poor grades meaning she has better priorities because "school isn't important." She hates being called short, because short = weak = inferior. Lori very frequently will snap at people (or even punch them) if they correct her, tease her, or criticize her in any way. She feels weak and gross when she gets scared, and if anyone ever sees her crying it's game over.
As she gets older and has a more steady support system in her friends, Lori is able to take her negative traits she used to believe were strengths and improve upon them. She still loves to feel better than other people, and she always will, but being knocked down a peg doesn't hurt as much. You still shouldn't call her short though.
I was tagged in this a few days ago by @son-of-aurlius-piscius, saw it, got excited, and then promptly forgot about it until now. I have far too many mcs but I did all of them anyway and also chose 10 songs for each of them because something is wrong with me :D

Did I really give them all Fall Out Boy? Yes, yes I did. Some of the songs in the lists have significance, others I just think they'd enjoy
Tagging @nostalgiaslithersin @hphm-rhia @hphm-brooke @hphmbetty if y'all'd like to!
I have zepetos for all my hphm characters, so while bored I decided I might as well do it for my hpma characters too, right? So I made Lori and Kes on that busllshit app. Did you know you can't have black eyeliner or mascara anymore unless you buy their stupid gems? Bullshit! I got lucky with Lori because I had a prototype version of her from before that update, but Kes was new so unfortunately hers are dark brown.
I guess it's nice in that I can see what they look like next to each other. I'm still not completely sure I'm going to put them together, but from what little I've seen of the game I don't like the canon characters. Also just pretend Kes has her mark under her collarbone

Relationships
Older Sister: Aspen Loris
- Aspen is five years older than Lori
- She's outgoing and popular, and gets pretty good grades in school
- Aspen has no magic
- Lori likes Aspen, but has a hard time showing it since she's mildly jealous of her
- Aspen took the news of Lori's magic well, and she thinks it's fascinating. She shows no jealousy
Younger Sister: Willow Loris
- Willow is two years younger than Lori
- She's cute and girly, still pretending she's a princess
- Willow has no magic
- Lori doesn't like Willow as much as she likes Aspen, as Willow constantly blames things such as broken objects on Lori
- Willow is jealous of Lori's magic, but not to the point of causing a fight
Mother: Miriam Loris
- Miriam blames herself for Lori finding that flower. She was gardening and Lori wandered into the woods
- The news of magic took some time to wrap her head around, as a more science oriented person
- She hates how often Lori gets into fights, and tries to encourage her to be more friendly
- Miriam wishes Lori would grow up
Father: Peter Loris
- Peter was ecstatic to hear about magic, as he always believed that he saw a fairy as a child (he actually did, and it wasn't deemed important enough to be Obliviated as he was only four years old)
- He's embarrassed by Lori's fighting and mediocre grades. He loves her, but he hates how she acts
- He tried to put Lori in a dress once, which backfired horribly
- Peter misses her a lot while she's at Hogwarts and writes her letters at least twice a week
Ex Best Friend: Emmy Kingston
- Emmy and Lori met in kindergarten during recess when Emmy needed the bathroom, and a teacher asked Lori to take her
- They accidentally broke a sink and promised not to tell on each other
- After that they decided they were best friends
- Emmy is smaller than Lori, so if she got picked on she'd get Lori to threaten them
- When they were in fourth grade (I'm going by American stuff here sorry - they were nine) they made a "blood pact" which wasn't a real magical one, but they got close - they pricked their fingers, made a promise to be best friends forever, and each took a vial of mixed blood with them. There were tingles and a slight bit of magic happened, but nothing official
- Unfortunately, when Lori got her Hogwarts letter and excitedly told Emmy about her magic, Emmy got really mad
- She thought that Lori had known all along and kept it a secret from her
- They had a big fight, and didn't reconcile before Lori left
Love Interest: possibly Kes, but subject to change
Best Friend: Giulio Moretti
- Giulio is a full Veela who's bad at making friends because he's been super sheltered. They meet in their first Flying class
- Lori very quickly becomes very protective over him, metaphorically biting the heads off of people who make fun of him for being a boy Veela or anyone a bit too affected by him
- Being a lesbian, she's not affected by his allure in the slightest. It's something neither of them mention as she doesn't want to admit it and he doesn't want to push her
- They become close enough that Lori sometimes puts his dampener necklace on herself so he can use his Veela magic to its full extent, despite the fact that doing so drains her for days afterward
Rival: TBD
Enemy: TBD
Dormmates: TBD (wow so informative)
Pets: a baby rat named Elizabeth that she found in her back garden
Closest Canon Friends: Probably Robin, Ivy, and Daniel
Closest Noncanon Friend: Kestra Fernera
- They do not get along at all at first
- Kes just wants to be friends, but Lori can't help but be terrified when she looks at Kes' firey eyes
- In second year Lori tries to conquer her fear by physically overpowering Kes, but Kes doesn't fight back and all Lori gets is three months of detention
- The summer after third year, her parents demand that she see a therapist for her anger issues
- The building catches on fire (literally her worst nightmare) and everyone escapes but her
- As she's screaming in terror, in comes Kes, her eyes blazing as she parts the flames like the Red Sea
- Kes keeps the flames away as they run out of the building
- Lori starts seeing Kes in a completely different light (you know, trauma sharing) and doesn't feel any fear around her anymore - in fact, she's drawn to her almost like a security object
- That confuses literally everyone, but Lori refuses to talk about the incident and Kes won't say anything either
Closest MC Friends:
- Conner Everett @amerrymystery
More are welcome!
Storyline
Pre Hogwarts:
- At two years old she eats a magic flower that turns her eyes permanently pink
- At four years old she gets hit by an older girl who was scared of her pink eyes
- At six years old she has her first case of accidental magic, levitation
- At eight years old she gets in the worst fight to date, ending with a broken wrist and leg and a concussion on her end
- At nine years old she makes her "blood pact" with Emmy
- At ten years old she gets a bad concussion that leaves her in the hospital overnight. While unconscious, she has a horrible nightmare about a burning building, which causes her fear of fire
- At eleven years old she receives her Hogwarts letter and loses Emmy as a friend
- Her parents give her an hour long lecture about behaving herself at her new school
[Plotline of the game is unknown]
Post Hogwarts:
- She and Giulio share an apartment for the first few years out of Hogwarts
- Her first seven years after graduation, Lori has a job as a Hit Witch for the Ministry. The job is growing more and more hated by the community, but it's necessary and she actually has a lot of fun
- Eventually, the Ministry is forced to let go of all their Hit Wizards to keep public opinion, so Lori takes a job as an Obliviator instead
- She'll get married and adopt a couple of kids at some point
Old Age and Death: Lori will die of cancer when she gets to be pretty old. She'll be scared and fight all the way out, but she can't stop it. Right before she dies, whoever her wife is will grip her hands and promise she'll be okay. It's the only reason she won't die screaming
Personality
- Aggressive: Lori tends to pick the most violent option when available, unless it will get her friends hurt or have too serious a consequence. She has little to no worry about her own physical well being in her younger years. Her therapist theorizes that her aggression is due partially to being the middle child, and feeling as though she isn't getting enough attention
- Extroverted: Lori needs to be near friends at all times. She loves loud, crowded parties, and is more outgoing than you would think. It's easy for her to jump into a conversation between others and loves being the center of attention. Being alone for too long brings out her more negative emotions
- Manipulative: Lori isn't horribly manipulative, but she does play up the "cute troubled little girl" act around certain people, either to get her out of trouble or to catch someone off guard
- Protective: Lori likes to play as the Knight. She enjoys feeling like she's stronger or more mature than others and that they depend on her. Even if they don't, if she likes someone she'll try and solve their problems for them and keep them safe
Misc Information
- Lori can't help but feel ostracized from her family for many different reasons
- It's why she goes by Lori at Hogwarts instead of Lea
- She can't relate with any of them - she's magic, she's a delinquent, she's not super smart, not girly, and she's gay
- Her family is extremely homophobic, which leads to repression of her feelings for years
- The first time she gives in and admits she likes girls, she has a full blown meltdown, sobbing in her bed with the curtains closed and a silencing charm around it
- Her parents eventually accept her - not fully, but enough
- Aspen and Willow are much more accepting and love her very much
- She and her sisters do work out their differences in the end
- Emmy comes back into the picture years down the line
- They end up at the same party, and while drunk, Emmy is the one who suggests the nipple piercings, so they both have those
- Emmy apologizes for everything, and even if they aren't best friends, that one part of Lori's childhood that still hurt to think about gets resolved
How about nine from love for Lori and Kes? Maybe three from general for Liam and Penny as well? All of your OCs are so cool, it's hard to pick.
Bro my ocs are kinda basic but thank you!!
9. Who's more protective?
This one is kind of interesting! Lori is usually the protective one in any sort of relationship, even overprotective at times. She uses her fist to keep people safe, yells and makes herself unpleasant to be around so that anyone who didn't like her friends would be more willing to stay away. But when she's with Kes, it's different. Kes is able to protect herself, and Lori can recognize this, so she feels calmer and less like a bodyguard. In the beginning of their friendship not being needed made Lori feel useless, but over time she realizes she's more wanted than needed, and that's when they ended up together. So in this rare circumstance, Kes is the protective one, making sure everyone knows Lori is a good person and she's matured. She won't let anyone badmouth her girlfriend
3. What was their first kiss like?
Liam and Penny's first kiss was in their fifth year. Liam had told Penny to stay behind when the group went to the Portrait Vault so that she could catch Beatrice as she was freed and be the first one Bea saw, so since Liam went right to bed after making sure his friends were okay he didn't see Penny again until the next morning. By then, she had heard the details from Bill, and she knew how much pain Liam was in emotionally. When he came into the Common Room last, late for breakfast, he found Penny waiting for him. He looked so sad and defeated, but the first thing he did was smile and ask about Beatrice, and Penny just kissed him instead of answering
1. Names: What does it mean? What origin is it? Why did you choose it? Honestly I’m not even sure Oleander is technically a real name. I wanted her and her two sister to be plants, and since the most common plant names are flowers, that’s what they are. Oleander (also known as nerium) has very pretty pink flowers, and it also EXTREMELY toxic. That’s exactly why I picked it. Lori has pink eyes from eating a magic pink flower - a magical version of oleander. Whereas the normal version can kill anyone, the magic version is used in potions and only kills muggles. I just thought it would be cool, and also symbolic with how she’s cute and pretty but can also kick your ass. That and the muggle doctors can’t figure out what happened, showing early on she’s different from the rest of her family. She goes by Lori at Hogwars instead of Lea, like her family calls her, because she wants to shove her family away from her. She loves them, but she feels too ostracized from them right now.
4. Hogwarts House: Why did you choose that house? How did it influence their personality? My original plans for Lori put her in Slytherin, with how she plays up the cute little girl bit only to strike later (and I’m bias since it’s my house), but it didn’t end up working out. She’s very violent and doesn’t have good control over her more negative emotions, which doesn’t seem to fit the house. She also switched from a pureblood to a muggleborn when the flower idea happened, so Slytherin got crossed off. Gryffindor makes the most sense for her. She’s loud, violent, and doesn’t mind getting (literally) dirty. She still keeps up her cute innocent girl act at first, but many people can see through it. I considered having her be a scary Hufflepuff too, but her coloring doesn’t work with yellow. So, she’s a lion now.
