— was that Emma Vanity passing through diagon alley? those close to them say they remind them of between clammy skin fresh from a work out, being stressed if the daily run hasn't happened, constant competitiveness even with herself, constantly wearing out trainers, and trying not to make sport her entire personality which i suppose seems to fit that slytherin / hogwarts alumnus. they’re actually pretty hard-working, determined and ambitious for a thirty-one year old, but i wonder if it serves them well when working as Beater for the Holyhead Harpies. rumor has it that the blood status is aligning with has stayed neutral… for now. i wouldn’t have guessed… but this is a conversation we should be having somewhere else.
part two
neutral (does not support either cause or has yet to choose which cause they support)
part three
Emma was not the most academic of people. Or well she could have been but she was preoccupied by quidditch. She knew what she wanted to do when she grew up, and she knew she was talented. So why bother with anything else?
Emma comes from a long line of quidditch players. Her father played for TEAM, and so she basically grew up around the sport. She started playing at an early age, and was pretty well established in the sport when she came to school
Emma was excited to join the Slytherin quidditch team when she could. So of course she joined when she was in her second year at school. Emma made the team every year after that, and went on to be Captain in her final year at Hogwarts
Emma is a beater, and takes pride in being very good at her job. Her nickname is the pocket rocket, because although she is on the short side (standing at 5 ft 2), for a beater, she can keep up with all the bigger players she competes against
Emma was recruited to the Holyhead Harpies straight out of Hogwarts, making it onto their reserve team. But she was determined, and so she continued to work hard, eventually making it onto the main team when she was 21.
Of course, she had sometimes thought about whether she should change teams, but she adores the Harpies, and adores playing with other women. So, she is likely to stay on that team. Though, she does have some desires to be a Captain eventually, so maybe that might sway her to change teams?
Emma has decided to stay neutral in the way, but her family are heavily aligned with the beliefs and values of the death eaters. Emma doesn’t really care either way. She just tends to turn a bit of a blind eye to what her father and brothers do.
B I O G R A P H Y
Emma Vanity was born on a hot summers day. She was the long awaited daughter to a pureblooded couple who had four sons. The house was chaotic. Boys running everywhere, and little Emma just trying to follow them. Whilst not sacred 28, the family were pretty pureblood elite. And so Emma grew up with all those ideologies, and really didn’t think anything more of them. They were what her parents told her, and so that must mean they were right?
She loved quidditch from a young age. Her father was a famous quidditch beater, playing for the Montrose Magpies. It wasn’t a usual pureblood elite career path, but it made them a lot of money. Emma practically grew up on the quidditch pitch. Her brothers were good too, and the Vanity family practically had their own quidditch team. It meant that by the time Emma went to Hogwarts all she really cared about was quidditch.
She was different to the other girls her age. She didn’t really care for sewing or painting. But she loved sports and she loved being outside. She was sporty, and not really your typical girly girl. Of course, she looked like a girly girl, but she could kick ass on the quidditch pitch. She liked being different, and she wasn’t going to allow anyone to change who she was.
Nobody really cared that she was different though, and she figured it was because her family wasn't really that important. Sure, her Dad and her older brothers were into the elitism in society, but the rest of the pureblood elite, especially the sacred 28, didn’t think that they were that important.
Emma loved that though. It meant she could do what she wanted in school. She joined the quidditch team as soon as she could. She adored being a chaser, and was good. She was made Captain in her seventh year. Nothing was really more important to her than quidditch was. Not her exams, not boys, minus just one boy anyway. Emma was just focused on quidditch.
It paid off though, because as soon as she graduated, she was scouted by the Holyhead harpies. Of course, not for their first team, but they wanted the Vanity girl. Her dad was pleased, for her brothers hadn’t gone into quidditch. Emma felt good. She knew she was good, and playing quidditch was everything she wanted to do in the world.
Of course she had ambitions though. Emma was not content just being a beater and she certainly disliked the people that claimed she had only been signed to the Harpies because her dad was a quidditch star. She was determined to prove that she was just as good, if not better than her dad. Simply being a beater was not good enough, even though it was a pretty successful thing. She was an ambitious person, and before she’d even made it off the reserves bench she was determined that she would one day be captain.
The one thing she didn’t really want to be was a death eater. She’d grown up surrounded by the viewpoint that they were better because they were purebloods, and her father and brothers were death eaters. Emma had never really been overly vocal in her opinions, choosing to stay quiet. She knew it was a little cowardly but she didn’t want to make the decisions. It was mostly because she didn’t know what she wanted to do. She loved her family, but she also had friends that were half blood or blood traitors. She knew she shouldn’t and that her family would really not like it but she couldn’t stop from being social and talking to people.
