( jessica alexander , twenty , cis woman , she / her ) hey , is that EMMA VANITY wandering the halls without a companion ? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold . and here i thought the SLYTHERIN was always more perceptive , self-reliant & confident . but then they are also known to be impatient , competitive & avaricious , so maybe that makes sense . these hard times are enough to change anybody , i suppose . and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE KNIGHTS ? rumors fly when people are cooped up . here , i’ll show you — EMMA always reminded me of tequila shots served with a slice of limelight ; wiping blood and lip gloss from your mouth ; dark ice across a frozen forest lake concealing freezing depths beneath ; expensive perfume mingling with the scent of phosphorus ; the first drop of blood in the water before the feeding frenzy begins ; wearing back-breaking heels just to hear them click against stone as you walk ; perfectly manicured nails pulling at loose threads until all that’s left is a tangle of frayed strands . and i’ve heard SHE FED THE CAT OF THE LAST PERSON WHO HIT HER WITH A BLUDGER TO THE GIANT SQUID . let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast . or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do .
character parallels : cordelia chase ( buffy the vampire slayer ) , paris geller ( gilmore girls ) , petra solano ( jane the virgin ) , cece parekh ( new girl ) , emily gilmore ( gilmore girls ) , gina linetti ( brooklyn nine nine )
let’s get one thing straight . my main motivation behind creating & developing emma is that i want to play a bitch <333
emma vanity has never really seen the point of playing nice , or playing fair , if there’s the option of playing to win . life isn’t nice , and it isn’t fair , and someone’s always cheating so you might as well too . whoever said that not everything’s a competition was clearly losing .
she was a terror as a child & her father absolutely encouraged it at every opportunity . if she made another kid cry ? that wasn’t something she’d done wrong , that other kid needed to grow a backbone . she was screaming and crying because she wanted a new toy ? good , she knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to get it
her mother , on the other hand , clearly resented the life she’d been dealt , and viewed her uncontrollable daughter who wore the face of a man she’d never loved as a lost cause . the feeling was mutual – emma saw her mother as weak , irritating , jealous . call it a defense mechanism , if you will ; it’s easier to stomach a mother who doesn’t like you if you don’t like her either .
this quote : often father and daughter look down on mother ( woman ) together . they exchange meaningful glances when she misses a point . they agree that she is not bright as they are , cannot reason as they do . this collusion does not save the daughter from the mother’s fate .
also this quote : in a dream i saw my mother with the love of her life and no children / it was the happiest i’d ever seen her
anyway moving on from the Mommy Issues ™
she realized she was good at quidditch in her first year at hogwarts , during the mandatory flying lessons . it had never interested her before ; it seemed dull , boorish , base . but once she discovered she was a natural on a broom , all that changed .
she loves the adrenaline of it , the violence , the cutthroat competition . she’s been a beater on the slytherin quidditch team since her third year .
random side note : she wears a full face of makeup for every quidditch match . bc she’s that bitch
fairly irreverent . ready to laugh at just about anything . but like , in a mean way yk . there’s not much she won’t mock
something emma really admires is the ability to hide weakness . if you can take whatever shit she throws at you without flinching , in some weird twisted way she gains more respect for you
competitive as ALL HELL . finds it very hard to turn down a challenge . there’s something about the prospect of winning that just lights a fire underneath her
funnily enough though , this doesn’t really extend to academic performance . emma cares just enough about school in order to get passable grades and that’s it . anything more than that , she views as a waste of her effort and time
loyal to the people she does care about but also ? weirdly possessive ? she’s like a cat , she does not like to share the people in her life . 100% the sort of girl to sabotage her ex’s new relationship
let’s be clear though , emma is a bitch . she’s a bully . she enjoys the power of knowing she’s gotten under someone’s skin , of knowing she holds power over them
one thing about emma is that she’ll give it to you straight . she doesn’t see the point of wasting time with coyness or fake humbleness . she knows she’s the villain in many people’s stories , and she doesn’t care . she’d much rather be the villain than be fake nice or fake virtuous . has absolutely no patience for people who try and paint themselves as the hero
anyway yeah she’s intense and competitive and unflinching and bloodthirsty and greedy and bitchy and selfish and honest and confident . she’s a lot !! tbqh i haven’t really played a character like this much at all so i’m excited
( coco jones, twenty one , cis woman, she/her) hey, is that RITA SKEETER wandering the halls without a companion? the SEVENTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the SLYTHERIN was always more vivacious, ambitious, & clever. but then they are also known to be nosy, spiteful, & vindictive, so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you hear people are saying they’re in NO ORGANIZATION? rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — RITA always reminded me of constantly scribbling away, stiletto heels clacking on the floor, mouth full of white lies, words are power, wielding rumors as a weapon, using fashion as armor, using people as a stepping stone to get ahead. and I’ve heard SHE DOESN’T CARE WHO SHE HURTS IN ORDER TO BE FAMOUS. let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do. ( brynn, 20, est, she/her)
this is going to be a brief overview of rita skeeter but a google doc would be coming soon with all her info ! but until then here’s this to tide you guys over.
STATS
FULL NAME: margaret ‘ rita ’ aubrey skeeter
NICKNAME: rita
AGE: 21
BIRTHDAY: october 12
HOUSE: slytherin
FAMILY: diana and joseph skeeter ( divorced ), one half sister ( younger )
BOGGART: it’s herself in a hospital room, staring at nothing. she has faded into obscurity and with no one to remember her, including herself.
AMORTENTIA: she didn’t smell it. it’s a weakness and she refuses to let a potion of all things, tell her how to feel.
PATRONUS: she can cast a patronus but her patronus isn’t corporeal. which doesn’t bother her at all. having an animal patronus is so tacky in her opinion.
OVERVIEW:
joseph skeeter and diana bagman were hogwarts sweethearts. they had started dating in their sixth year and for a few years, they kept that spark. it wasn’t until diana got pregnant that joseph started to have second thoughts. he realized that he didn’t actually want to be tied down and slowly he started to resent diana for essentially trapping him, never mind the fact that he was a willing accomplice to this. but that’s men for you. never taking any accountability for their actions.
so as rita got older, the more distant joseph got. diana tried her hardest to fix their relationship but the more she pushed, the more joseph started to pull away. eventually, joseph started to avoid coming back to the house and drowned his sorrows with other women. diana tried to ignore the signs and have a brave face for their daughter but it blew up in their face. you see, joseph didn’t use protection when he was having his affair and the next thing rita knew, she had a half-sister. but wait it gets even worse because joseph chose to leave diana and rita for his mistress and her daughter and suddenly, diana and rita had to survive on their own. this was the start of rita’s journey to never be dependent on anyone.
this was also rita’s start in gossip and learning that words hold power. when her father left them, it was a shock to everyone who was paying attention. “ they were hogwarts sweethearts, how could’ve things gone wrong? ” “ it must’ve been because diana wasn’t tending to his needs.” rita heard this and worse and watching her mother slowly retreat into herself, rita learned how words can hurt. but she also realized that it can go both ways, she just needed to find the right buttons. so she started to keep track of the people who gossiped about her mother, and started to pay attention to the things that they didn’t want known publicly. before anyone could say anything, rita had the control. but what started as way to protect and stand up for her mother became something twisted and rita turned into the same gossiping people that she destroyed. the difference was that rita wasn’t going to let anyone take back control over her.
HEADCANONS:
rita started to go by rita the year before she started hogwart. no one knows that her actual name is margaret. margaret was the little girl whose father left her but rita was someone else. someone better, smarter, more ambitious.
she just finished her animagus transformation this past summer so rita is on a little high for accomplishing such a feat. she loves being a little beetle. in her opinion, the pro of hearing everyone’s drama outweighs the con of being vulnerable as a little insect.
she is the president of the hogwarts times, historian for student government, in frog choir, and she’s a part of potion club. she is a very busy lady but she loves the work.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
exes: i imagine she had a few relationships so if your character to be one of the people she dated hmu!
first love: this was someone she fell in love with while they were dating but as soon as she realized that she was falling in love, she immediately broke it off. she thinks love is a weakness and she refuses to let anyone have that power over her
friends: there is kind of two categories to this. i want her to have genuine friendships but she also could have fake friends. these are people that she tolerates but she doesn’t want to ostracize them just yet.
victims: this are people that she ruined their reputations while at hogwarts. rita loves to spread rumors and she doesn’t care who she hurts in the process
rivalry: rita is very petty and would hold a grudge for the stupidest reasons. oh you said her handwriting sucks? consider yourself her number one enemy.
can’t touch: this is the one person that rita is either afraid of or they cut her a deal but she never ever spreads rumors about them. she doesn’t write about them in the hogwarts times and if there were any rumors surrounding them, rita tells them.
informants: as much as she would love to, rita can’t do everything by herself. so she has informants in each house to tell her whenever shit goes down. people are wondering how rita knows what happened in the gryffindor common room twenty minutes ago, it’s because of her informants. they could be her informants because they also enjoy gossip or because rita is blackmailing them. dealers choice
( Timothee Chalamet, Twenty, Cis Man - He / Him ) hey, is that REGULUS BLACK wandering the halls without a companion? the FIFTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the SLYTHERIN was always more astute, courteous, & level-headed. but then they are also known to be secretive, haughty, & vengeful, so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE KNIGHTS? rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — REGULUS always reminded me of foggy mornings, sly smiles, the scent of old parchment, spilt wine, stepping into a dark-wooded home, bitter laughter, the sensation of emptiness when you’re alone after spending the day with your favorite person, blackberry winters, and being woken up in the middle of the night by a thunderstorm shaking the house. and I’ve heard HE IS PLANNING TO MURDER HIS PARENTS IN COLD BLOOD. let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do. ( Nimue, twenty-four, Mountain, She / Her )
DETAILS
Birthday: October 25th (Scorpio)
Family: Mother is Walburga. Father is Orion. Brother is Sirius. Innumerable cousins.
Boggart: Walburga with a wicked-looking wand in her hand.
Patronus: Non-corporeal.
Amortentia: Earl Grey tea, mountain air, amber perfume, the Ancient Runes classroom, herbal apothecaries.
One: Regulus is not easily driven to violence, but somewhere around the age of seventeen, he decided that he was going to murder his parents one day. It wasn’t like they were trying very hard not to murder him; one of Walburga’s stray hexes had sliced open his collarbone, and if he hadn’t tried to dodge the spell, she probably would’ve slit his throat. As soon as he figures out how to get away with murder, he is going to do so. He has no idea how this became public knowledge.
Two: Initially, he joined the Knights of Walpurgis to please his parents. As time went on, he realised that he has less in common with the group than he previously thought. Even so, he has little desire and incentive to leave, seeing as he adores the Dark Arts and feeling like he has some semblance of control over his life.
Three: Regulus's secret sore spot is Sirius. Nothing can rile him up or toss him into the undertow of a nasty mood like his brother. That being said, the only person he will tolerate calling him Reg or Reggie is Sirius... It’s a complicated relationship.
( gavin leatherwood , 21 , cis male , he / him ) hey , is that JAMES POTTER wandering the halls without a companion ? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold . and here i thought the GRYFFINDOR was always more dynamic , candid & resolute . but then they are also known to be impulsive , image-conscious & flippant , so maybe that makes sense . these hard times are enough to change anybody , i suppose . and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE ORDER ? rumors fly when people are cooped up . here , i’ll show you — JAMES always reminded me of the reassuring weight of an arm slung around your shoulders ; willow branches rustling in the warm summer breeze ; the smoky sweet smell of mesquite and citrus ; forever reaching for the horizon , even when the golden light of the setting sun blinds you ; uncalloused hands that never quite rest still ; the hum of electricity in the air before a summer storm ; wearing the limelight like a second skin ; the adrenaline of making someone you love laugh ; ink-stained fingers and unruly hair from a sleepless night ( is it perfectionism or obsession ? ) . and i’ve heard HE DRINKS FELIX FELICIS BEFORE EVERY QUIDDITCH MATCH . let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast . or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do .
character parallels include richard gansey iii ( the raven cycle ) , orpheus ( hadestown ) , gilbert blythe ( anne of green gables ) , jake peralta ( brooklyn nine nine ) , steve harrington ( stranger things )
two words : hero complex
james is what happens when a child is told his whole life that he is extraordinary , and it’s true . he grew up sated on love and comfort and wealth , the only child of two wealthy purebloods who had once thought it impossible for them to have a child , and lavished every ounce of adoration they had upon james for proving them otherwise .
he was a prodigy — there’s no doubting that . chubby toddler fingers that crackled with magic grew into long fingers wielding a wand with expert ease . unsteady toddler footsteps turned into daredevil swoops and turns on the latest broom model .
there have been many who have attempted to hate james , and there have been many who have failed . it’s something about his smile , equal parts mischievous , charming , and oh-so earnest . it’s something about his hazel eyes : the laughter lines that line them , the way they glint with curiosity , the softness they hold when he looks at his friends . it’s his easy confidence
and let’s be HONEST , it’s the fact that he’s fucking gorgeous . you think he’d get away with as much shit as he does if he was plain ? hell no . he’s a pretty boy & he gets all the privilege that comes with that .
of course , there have also been those who have attempted to hate james and SUCCEEDED . and they wouldn’t be wrong ! his confidence can tip over into arrogance . his pranks have been known to border on cruel . he has ZERO self awareness , and well and truly believes he is the good guy of every situation . he sticks his nose in where it isn’t wanted , and tries to fix what isn’t broken . he tends to view the world in black and white .
you might think his arrogance would mean he doesn’t care , but actually , the opposite is true . if something’s gone wrong , or someone’s unhappy , he unconsciously (a) assumes he can fix it , and (b) decides it’s his responsibility to fix it . shoulders all responsibility and can get very stubborn about it . main character syndrome fr
probably like , 60% of his brain real estate is devoted to loving his friends . this boy is so fucking ride or die . he is devoted to the marauders and considers them his brothers
*this voice* that boy has adhd and i really believe that
see : james canonically playing with a snitch like , constantly
often speaks before he thinks and regrets it , but just passes it off as a joke rather than admit that he doesn’t know why he said that
allergic to bees & wasps just bc gansey from trc is and i can say so
often has insomnia , so you can find him in the gryffindor common room at very late hours , sketching out new ideas for a prank while fiddling with a snitch , or attempting to take something apart , figure out how it works , and put it back together
oh yeah also he doesn’t take felix felicis before every quidditch game lol i just thought that would be a fun rumour . he does have stupid luck with his lot in life tho
also gonna point you towards seven by sleeping at last bc that truly is james’s theme song <33
um idk what else to add ? this intro took ages to finish & i feel like it’s so messy and short but oh well such is life
( renée rapp, 19, cis woman, she&her ) hey, is that NARCISSA BLACK wandering the halls without a companion? the FIFTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the SLYTHERIN was always more confident, intelligent, & protective. but then they are also known to be conceited, self-centered, & aloof, so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE KNIGHTS? rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — NARCISSA always reminded me of the glimmer of sun reflecting off a mirror, black patent stilettos, powder on the end of a brush, earl grey tea, vanilla beans, pressed flowers, a music box with a squeaky hinge charmed to be perfect, the scent of an old book, French music, Latin books, tulle skirts, starry nights, satin dresses, pressed flowers, a silver dagger hidden a garter belt and I’ve heard THAT VAPID PERSONALITY SHE WEARS SO WELL IS A FACADE. let’s hope the PUREBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do.

CONTENT WARNING(S) FOR THIS SECTION: SNAKES
full name ;; narcissa irma black
age ;; 19
house ;; slytherin
boggart ;; narcissa would love to say that it was something almighty and selfless, but her boggart takes the shape of herself, in absolutely deplorable conditions. ratty hair, dirt on her nose, clothing in pieces. she's worked her entire life to cling to her family's fortune - nothing scared her more than losing it.
patronus ;; on the exceedingly rare occasion that she produces a Patronus, it takes the form of a snake.
favorite spell ;; Petrificus Totalus - a relatively consequence free way of getting the last word. Just petrify them! However, she's also a fan of passing notes in class using Aparecium.
amortentia ;; a field of daffodils, the air of the Amalfi Coast and Lucius' cologne 'the pasta her nanny made when she was a child.'
wand ;;
—- wood ; elm wood | Elm wands prefer owners with presence, magical dexterity and a certain native dignity. Of all wand woods, elm, in my experience, produces the fewest accidents, the least foolish errors, and the most elegant charms and spells; these are sophisticated wands, capable of highly advanced magic in the right hands (which makes it highly desirable to those who espouse the pure blood philosophy).
—- core ; phoenix tail feather | This is one of the rarest core types. Phoenix feathers are capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may take longer than either unicorn hair or dragon heartstring cores to reveal this. They show the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards dislike.
—- length ; 10 inches

It was cold the day Narcissa Irma Black was brought into the world. It seemed prophetic, almost, noting the icy heart the girl would grow to have. She came out quietly, without too many cries and even as the Healers washed her off gently she was soft. Soft in her appearance - surprising blonde hair which was a stark difference to that of her sisters and parents and cheeks that held a blush of their own and would for the years to come. Soft in her expression - equal parts afraid and curious at once. Soft in her noises - small baby coos passed her plump pink lips as the last of the blood was wiped off of her body. Upon the announcement that Druella Black had given birth to another girl, Cygnus chose to turn the other way, storming towards his office rather than in to meet his daughter. Yet Druella held Narcissa Black in her arms, staring at her with a plan sparkling behind her eyes. She could barely even open her own eyes by the time her mother was planning the future her little girl would have. Because power, overt and strong like that which Cygnus so desperately wanted, was important. But an understated power - the kind that came with being underestimated while simultaneously being placed on a pedestal - that was what the dark-haired woman saw when she looked into the soft eyes of her daughter.
And that was exactly what Narcissa Black became. Molding herself into the strict and unbending expectations her mother had for her. She sat there while her hair was curled and allowed her outfits to be chosen for her. She curtsied and nodded as was deemed necessary and as her mother had predicted, the pedestal she built for her youngest daughter seemed as high as she'd hoped it would be. The problem with being held up so high is that there is a very long way to fall, and while the Pureblood society practically idolized the gorgeous girl, many were waiting for her to crumble. But there were many conversations between Druella and her prodigal daughter. Conversations where she continued drilling into her how good she was. How she was perfect and beautiful and that the world wasn't going to be ready for the powerhouse she could be beneath curled eyelashes and pretty pink polished nails.
As she entered Hogwarts, the Sorting Hat exclaimed "SLYTHERIN" before being placed on her head. And she knew, of course she knew that's where she'd be. Everyone in Hogwarts knew that's where she'd be. What they didn't know, what nobody knew, was the monster of a girl she hid behind her demure facade. The girl inside knew how much she was worth and she knew that if she used her strengths as well as her mother had taught her to she would be unstoppable. And her mother had taught her well. So well, in fact, that Cygnus Black himself stood impressed before his daughter at times, listening as she spoke clearly and concisely, reaching points with a kind of precision that was hard to find even in skilled politicians and socialites. Being the youngest daughter brought no extra praise from the man, but having the skills he would have valued in a son did earn at least a bit of his respect. So she tried and tried and kept trying. Her sisters, Bellatrix and Andromeda, were the two most important things in her life and the reason she tried so hard. It was the only way she could think of to protect the two of them, because if she met every standard Druella tried pushing on her, perhaps that would keep her from pushing those impossible pressures onto Narcissa's sisters. And maybe she wasn't strong in a lot of ways but she'd always been strong in that way, not only meeting but exceeding the dreams Druella had for her.
It came as a surprise to no one when it was announced she would be marrying Lucius Malfoy. Since birth they'd known, honestly. The two beautiful well-mannered Purebloods whose children would be beautiful - why wouldn't they end up together? Why would she be able to make her own decisions when she never had before? But Narcissa had always given her all to the things she was told to do, following the rules she was given without a second thought. She never stopped to think of the impact it may have on her future, because of her mother told her to do it she would do it. So she abandoned the ideas of the fairytales she'd hidden beneath her floorboard as a child. Abandoned the idea that she might be the princess who gets her prince one day. After all, she told herself every morning as she slid her lip gloss on, she was already a princess. At least that's what everyone told her she was.
O N E ;; In evenings of utmost desperation, Narcissa sometimes delves into her collection of Muggle fairytales. She hides them in a box beneath a blanket beneath a hex that hides it from sight, beneath her floorboards. She wasn't sure growing up whether she would ever have a happy ending, so filling that void with imaginary tales of Cinderella and Rapunzel made that an easier truth to swallow.
T W O ;; Narcissa can speak 6 different languages, and understand 10. Growing up, Druella instructed her that men don't like smart women, society will always underestimate you, let them, stand idly by in rooms where conversations are being held and listen, because they won't see you as enough of a threat or concern to hold their tongues. So, while she may consciously fail an answer or two in History of Magic, she has spent her entire life learning languages to eavesdrop on conversations that important people assumed her too daft to digest.
T H R E E ;; When things start to become harrowing, Narcissa studies Healing in secret. I've always imagined that the Malfoy Manor becomes somewhat of a safe house for the side of the Purebloods, and have a vivid image of one of the Knights of Walpurgis lying injured on one of their kitchen counters as Narcissa Heals them, due to her steadfast loyalty to her friends, and streak of protectiveness.
F O U R ;; Narcissa is incredibly skilled at Occlumency, and has been practicing since she was a First Year. While she's not as good at Legilimency, she's starting to study that. This HC is based off of the fact that on multiple occasions it's implied that her mind was unable to be breached by Voldemort.
F I V E ;; Narcissa has been a ballet dancer since she was young - another obligation Druella pushed her into (it's distinguished, Narcissa, it's impressive, it's something that wealthy families pride themselves on), but this was one that Narcissa dearly loved. After a particularly impressive recital, Druella gifted her a music box with a ballerina in it that's charmed to dance independently whenever the box is opened, and "sleeps" whenever the box is shut.
LUCIUS ;; The pair has been 'betrothed' since childhood. A match made in heaven for the couple's parents, surely. Growing up, the visual of her parents' marriage was loveless at best, so Narcissa braced herself for a future just the same. However, Narcissa nursed a schoolgirl crush on the boy as a child, unsure if it was genuine, or manifested out of wishful thinking. As time has gone by, Narcissa can confidently say - not due to any desperation to actually love the man she was set to marry - she'd fallen hard. Until Draco is born, he's the most important person in her life.
BELLATRIX & ANDROMEDA ;; Dynamics tbd !
BEST FRIEND ;; A close confidant, someone to paint her nails with in their dorm and gossip about other people until late into the night. She's very guarded, and likely wouldn't bare all of her qualms to this person, but she still feels closer to them than most.
PROTECTORS ;; I always imagine that some of the other Knights of Walpurgis are somewhat protective of Narcissa? When you earn her loyalty, it's truly undying, so if there are any Knights who want to be a little guard dog, please know you will also be receiving Very Mean Chihuahua Narcissa who's ready to pounce on anyone who wrongs you, as well (though sometimes that's exactly what gets her in these situations where she needs a little backup)
ARCH NEMESIS ;; Okay, maybe that's a little dramatic, but the pair bickers nonstop - this person probably bests Narcissa in just about every subject and might just hold that over her head, which causes Narcissa to steam because she's 'so much smarter than any of these stupid people even realize' - drama and pettiness ensures
( adeline rudolph , twenty, cis woman, she/her ) hey, is that DAISY HOOKUM wandering the halls without a companion? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the HUFFLEPUFF was always more compassionate , hardworking, & idealistic. but then they are also known to be insecure, hesitant , & sensitive , so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you hear people are saying they’re in THE ORDER rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — DAISY always reminded me of offering tea whenever something goes wrong, listening without discrimination, embracing you at your lowest, working hard to make the world a better place, biting her lips whenever she’s deep in thought, hugs that envelope you completely. and I’ve heard SHE GOT ARRESTED OVER THE SUMMER. let’s hope the HALFBLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do.
STATS:
full name: daisy johanna hookum
nickname: she welcomes any and all nicknames.
age: 20
birthday: november 25
house: hufflepuff
family: geoffrey hookum ( father ), ji eun-jung ( mother ), two younger sisters
boggart: being the cause of her family’s death
amortentia: lavender, summer rain, her father’s favorite cologne, soft leather
patronus: dog
OVERVIEW:
daisy’s parents met when her father traveled abroad to south korea after finishing his last year at hogwarts. geoff hired a magical tour guide which happened to be eun-jung’s sister and she set them up. it was a cute summer fling and they didn’t expect much but she ended up pregnant. daisy’s mom wasn’t expecting to raise a child in her twenties so she made an agreement with daisy’s father. in the beginning of her years, her mother stayed in england with her father and they raised her together but once daisy was old enough to go to school, her mom moved back to south korea. she missed her own family and the culture there and so the agreement changed between the parents. during the school years, daisy stayed with her father and when it came to summer months, she went to south korea to stay with her mother. daisy didn’t think nothing of it and she loved traveling but once her accidental magic started showing up, that’s when she realized that she wasn’t normal.
daisy’s mom was aware of the magical world because of her sister, but she wasn’t a witch herself. she wasn’t sure she could raise daisy once daisy started showing her accidental magic so eun-jung decided to once again change custody agreement and instead of daisy coming to her, she wll visit daisy in england. that was fine with geoff but daisy hated not being able to visit south korea. however, instead of complaining she decided to embrace her mom being in england and she showed her mom around all of her favorite places. sure, she missed south korea but daisy was going to make sure that her mom wasn’t going to regret visiting her. this became daisy’s new normal. living with her dad in england and her mom visiting every summer. her parents never married but whenever they see each other, it was like nothing has changed between them. they never officially committed to each other but they also never moved on. once daisy entered hogwarts, her parents felt free to hook up and suddenly they were once again pregnant with twin girls this time. since they already had experience with daisy and they felt more confident with the kids, eun-jung decided to officially move to england to raise them there. daisy had just finished her first year at hogwarts and she was elated at having younger siblings to cherish. as she continued to go to hogwarts, she was never without a bright smile and a comforting word. if anything, people seek her out for help or for comfort because they know daisy would always make time for them. it’s just who she is.
HEADCANONS:
daisy exemplified hufflepuff’s ideals. she rarely got angry and was more likely to offer a sympathetic ear than judge a person for their actions. she gave people second, third, fourth chances, however many people needed because she wanted to be needed. it wasn’t great and daisy knew that she could get taken advantage of but she would rather her feelings get hurt than not be there for someone if she could help.
she did get arrested over the summer but it was for protesting. daisy tended to jump into protesting and she always carried a little fanny pack of necessary supplies. in fact, at hogwarts she’s well known for having snacks in her bag and extra supplies.
she is a romantic but she is also insecure. so at every romantic gesture she receives, daisy immediately thinks that it’s a sign of true love and then won’t pursue it because she thinks she will get rejected.
she wants to be a healer and she does volunteer work at the hospital wing. it’s where she spends most of her tme and she does want to get to the bottom of what is petrifying the students but in the mean time, she would help brew the potions.
WANTED CONNECTIONS:
first love: so daisy is a romantic and falls in love very easily. so i would love to see the first person that she fell in love with and how they broke up. it would’ve been the first person daisy could see making a life together but also they are in their teens so daisy was being a little too optimistic about their future. anyway, i would love to plot about this dynamic.
best friends: daisy make friends very fast but this is the person that daisy spends her time with the most. they are inseparable and daisy confides in them the most. aside from her family, they know the most about her.
unlikely friend: this is the person nobody would expect daisy hookum to be friends with but she is. she tends to make friends with anybody who can tolerate her but she isn’t afraid to get to know someone.
the bad influence: i need someone who would take advantage of her giving nature and manipulate her into doing some shady shit. she would ask questions but she would probably do people favors because she trusts them.
crush: daisy crushes easily so this is the most recent one. she gets easily flustered and even if someone doesn’t return her affections, she will still imagine a life together. but i just think it would be cute for daisy to have a little crush on someone right now.
exes: since daisy is a romantic, i see her as a serial monogamist and that she ends up in relationship after relationship. she loves the feeling of being in a relationship so she definitely has a few exes. we could plot the dynamics of that relationship.
( abigail cowen, 20, ciswoman, she/her) hey, is that VIOLET HASTINGS wandering the halls without a companion? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the RAVENCLAW was always more loyal, ambitious, & caring. but then they are also known to be obsessive, perfectionist, & self-destructive, so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you hear people are saying they’re in NO ORGANIZATION? rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — Violet always reminded me of a warm cup of tea on a cold day, chaotic academia, a mother’s warm hug and protection from a cruel world, faerie academia, and little affirmation notes hastily put into your lunch to prove your loved. and I’ve heard she’s ONE BAD TEST RESULT FROM BLOWING HER WHOLE FUTURE UP AND RUNNING AWAY FROM THE WIZARDING WORLD ALL TOGETHER. let’s hope the MUGGLEBORN doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do.

( lola tung, twenty, cis woman, she/her ) hey, is that GLENDA CHITTOCK wandering the halls without a companion? the SIXTH YEAR is getting bold. and here I thought the HUFFLEPUFF was always more beguiling, determined, & convivial. but then they are also known to be irascible, unremitting, & selfish, so maybe that makes sense. these hard times are enough to change anybody, I suppose. and did you here people are saying they’re in NO ORGANIZATION? rumors fly when people are cooped up. here, I’ll show you — GLENDA always reminded me of a burning-hot cup of hibiscus tea tossed hastily down your throat; tap-tap-tapping fingers that itch to make noise; enough layered rings and necklaces and earrings and bracelets that you hear her before you see her; messy cherry red lip-gloss (can’t stop biting your tongue, can you?); voice sweeter than honey with words sharp as thorns; the warmth of a match just lit. and I’ve heard SHE THINKS SHE’S THE NEXT STEVIE NICKS OR SOMETHING. let’s hope the HALF-BLOOD doesn’t get attacked by the beast. or let’s at least hope that rumor doesn’t get back to them before they do. ( zoe, 24, cst, she/her )
