modern au ; instagram edit  â nerida vulchanova
nerida vulchanova was, for years, the beater star of the bulgarian national quidditch team, until a shoulder injure truncated her interstellar career.Â
while recovering, she focused on creating her own female only quidditch team in bulgaria, along with creating âthe witch revolutionâ a feminist network that started getting together all female quidditch players, giving workshops and conferences about the struggles of women inside the professional quidditch world. now, the network has expanded to professors, mediwizards, magizoologists, aurors and all the magical professions.
sheâs openly a lesbian, and an advocate for raising awareness for lgbt issues inside the wizarding community.  once a year, she hosts the âqueering voicesâ gala, in which she celebrates and awards lgbt witches and wizards who have excelled in different fields such as: literature, medicine, sports or politics.
right now, sheâs the coach of the bulgaria national team, and has brought them to the victory in the last quidditch world cup. she lives between bulgaria and sweden, since sheâs dating russian astronomy professor diana zakharova, whom she met during her years attending durmstrang institute.Â

tell me about the worst fight you ever had with someone.
