( cisfemale | she/her | madison bailey ) āā isnāt that DORCAS MEADOWES? yeah that is them, sitting there at the SLYTHERIN table with those other SIXTH years. when sybill looks into that crystal ball of hers, she sees spirited debates, worn out converse, half smoked cigarettes, breaking curfew, distressed jean jackets, messy buns, black coffee, avoiding family functions, and sunglasses to hide a hangover. anyway iāve heard theyāre pretty FREEWHEELING, HIGH-MINDED, and PUGNACIOUS. apparently theyāre FOR THE LIGHTĀ and PUREBLOOD but iām sure thatās not related.Ā
hey hi hello how ya doin. iām baz and this is my chaotic, pain in the ass dorcas.
here is her pinterest and stats page. iāll eventually get a full bio and her wanted connections up, but this is what i have for you for now!
abuse mentions tw! nothing graphic, but theyāre in there!Ā
born february 13th, 1960 in bristol, england.
which means: aquarius sun, leo moon, sagittarius rising. do with this what you will.
her parents are geoffery and aida meadowes. theyāre not wealthy or the most elite within the pureblood community, but theyāre extremely proud of their lineage - something dorcas never really understood.Ā
because they werenāt the most elite, aida worked ten times as hard to make it appearĀ as if they were. it was a major point of contention for doeās mother that they werenāt as well known or respected as she thought they ought to have been.
when dorcas showed no interest in pureblood society and began asking the wrongĀ questions in front of her motherās friends, she quickly learned how unacceptable that was.Ā
more often than not dorcas and her mother would end up getting into screaming matches after social gatherings - aida insisting that dorcas was intentionally embarrassing her & trying ruin the family name, while doe argued that the opinions of others shouldnāt matter as long as they were good people with kind hearts.
it was then that she realized her mother and the people she surrounded them with were far more interested in the purity of their world rather than the integrity of it.
from that point on, the meadowes home was a war zone. with her father traveling for work more often than now, there was no buffer between dorcas and her mother. hateful insults were hurled across the table at breakfast, by noon dorcas was a blood traitor and lucky her mother didnāt disown her, kicking her out of their home. every time dorcas left her room was a new attack on how she failed her family as a daughter and was an embarrassment to the wizarding world as a whole.
this became the norm for dorcas, which made adjusting to life at hogwarts quite easy when she was sorted into slytherin. those who didnāt already know her by name, quickly came to find she wasnāt they stereotypical slytherin. she may have been cunning and ambitious, but she hardlyĀ subscribed to their elitist views when it came to blood status.Ā Ā
it took a while, but dorcas eventually found other like-minded students - both in her house and others.Ā
in the five years since she came to hogwarts, dorcas has garnered quiteĀ the reputation. wicked intelligent with a sharp tongue, dorcas has proved herself as someone who isnāt afraid to get their hands dirty, both in the classroom and outside it.
when dorcas heard aboutĀ āfor the lightā, it was a no brainer. sheād already been vocal about her disdain for those who thought their blood status made them better than others and was clear about how she thought the ones behind the recent attacks and deaths should be dealt with.Ā
with her birthday right around the corner, dorcas was thrilled when dumbledore came to her about joining the order and, just like withĀ āfor the lightā, she agreed without a second thought. she was counting down the days until she turned seventeen and could officiallyĀ join.
personality
dorcas is a biiiiig softie, but because of the way she grew up, sheās got this hard, prickly exterior. once you break through it, though? all the love. all of it. youāll have a friend for life and the most outrageous adventure buddy.
sarcastic af and sheās vicious if you wrong her or the people she loves. if thereās anything she got from her mother, itās her temper.Ā
insanely competitive, even over the smallest things. itās why she loves quidditch so much. dorcas isnāt the most graceful loser, but she tries.Ā
will tell you, with her wholeĀ chest, that she doesnāt give a fuck what you think about her. she doesnāt live to impress or please anyone but herself. if she doesĀ care what you think, youāll never hear it from her mouth, but she will work just the tiniest bit harder to make sure she makes a good impression.
when it comes to flirting and dating, she puts on a good front and talks a lot of shit, but baby girl is notĀ super experienced and has only been in a handful of relationships. she may hide it, but dorcas definitely goes into full panic mode whenever someone she finds attractive flirts with her or shows any kind of affection. sheās also pansexual, so pleaseĀ feel free to send my girl into full gay panic mode. lmfao.
wanted dynamics
these will eventually expand and make it to a page on doeās blog, but for now !!!
former friends! people she knew before coming to hogwarts? before she really started to push against her pureblood roots. they could have had their falling out either before or after they started school! iām not picky & we can talk details, but we love the angst!!
chosen family!Ā also love the lil gang of misfits that chose each other as family trope. give me all of that. these would be the people whoāve broken through doeās prickliness and gets all the soft!doe. any one who gets the shitty family, come at me. shared trauma? here for it.
exes/flings!Ā any and all genders! this is suuuper open, so if you think our babes may have potential for a past or potential for something in the future, slide in these dms!
loathe entirely!Ā please give doe someone to fight. just pure, unabashed hatred. again, not picky on the details! we can flesh it out in the dms!!Ā
honestly, if you made it this far, bless you! lol. iām so pumped to finally start plotting and writing with yāall!Ā
