✶ — childhood 

eloise amelie greengrass was born into the affluent & wealthy greengrass family as the eldest daughter and heiress to the family fortune, a title bestowed on her from the very day she was born . her sister was born three years later, completing the greengrass family. her parents were manipulative and clever business owners who mainly focused on repurposing and selling jewels to wealthy pure bloods . their business might seem kinda shady but it is actually legit , though their prices are extremely steep which doesn’t seem to be a problem for any of their customers . since the greengrass’s have always been extremely successful , eloise grew up living a luxurious life in a large house outside of london with a handful of maids at her beck and call . isabelle & richard wanted nothing less for their daughter , whom they constantly doted on , so el grew up with the notion that world was her oyster .

but her beloved childhood house, as elegant and luxurious it appeared on the outside, was actually empty and cold, and even though she always claimed to enjoy the time spent alone, her earliest days were quite lonely . and it wasn’t because the greengrass sisters were unloved by their parents because they were were but the love was a different kind of love, one that was built by material gifts and pure entitlement, coated with promises of false security. for the greengrass family, business came first because without it, there empire would crumble and they would be nothing. 

from a young age, this was what eloise believed LOVE to be ---- something that could be bought and bargained. and to be honest, the lines are still blurry even now. but this demonstration is what crafted her materialistic, selfish and often superficial nature and knowing that she could get anything that she asked for whenever she wanted it only perpetuated her nasty behavior. 

she learned all of her antics from her mother ( how to throw a tantrum when something didn’t go her way, the beauty of tears, etc ),  someone who she considered to be the most important figure in her life. people came and went, potential business partners and her mother’s ‘ best friend of the week ’, but all of them possessed similar qualities that her parents did, each of them only out for their own good. 

this was eloise’s childhood, full of anything a little girl could want, but also incredibly lonely and hollow.

✶ — hogwarts years

as she got older, she began to realize that the world didn’t actually revolve around her , but that didn’t provoke much motivation for change either. sorted into slytherin for being cunning and ambitious, eloise quickly found her place among the ranks of the slytherin queen bees, which did knock her down a few pegs but also motivated her to rise to the top. and so she did. 

she wasn’t necessarily cruel, but she wasn’t exactly kind either. the first five years were marked by success ---- she had excellent grades, was heavily involved in extracurriculars and was always surrounded by a close group of friends that were always supportive. she thrived off the attention that was given by her peers, a little too much, as she always demanded to be in the spotlight. anytime she saw competition, she sought to eliminate it, and that’s when the claws came out. other than that, she was relatively calm and minded her own business. 

eloise could definitely be considered to be one of the mean girls during her time at hogwarts, but she never went out of her way to terrorize anyone, only if she was crossed. 

but halfway through her sixth year, she had a bit of an awakening, or more so, ran out of steam. everyone was talking about their plans after graduation, but she realized that she didn’t have any. obviously there was an expectation that she would take over the family business, but the thought of living the rest of her life trapped inside the confines of that business made her feel sick to her stomach. partly because she knew she would thrive in that setting, as that was what her parents had been training her for her entire life. 

eloise wanted to be more than a PUPPET, but when that’s literally your plan since birth, what can you do? well she was determined to do anything to get out of it. 

she rebelled a little bit in her seventh year, cut off most of her hair and ditched her light pink wardrobe for something a little edgier and darker. of course it was just to get a rise out of her parents and she didn’t really plan for the repercussions. she had never rebelled in her entire life and even though it was a quiet rebellion, she still felt liberated.

also i hc that she befriended someone from a different upbringing than her at this time, aka someone who was encouraging her to get into all this trouble.  

✶ — post hogwarts 

but all efforts basically failed because the summer after graduation, she began working at the shop . turns out she had a knack for marketing their products and she excelled in the business, which wasn’t a shock to anyone . her parents were proud , she didn’t feel guilty about her behavior anymore , and she actually enjoyed what she was doing . 

old habits die hard and that’s exactly what happened with eloise. it was so easy for her to regress back to her old ways, just like her parents wanted. she’s a great influencer within pureblood society, still attends all the events just to maintain the family image. 

she plays dumb, but she knows exactly what she’s doing. she wants people to underestimate her, just so she can double around and prove them wrong. in the war, she is very NEUTRAL, partially because of the power that it gives her. she’s very aware of the privilege that she holds in pureblood society and she’s willing to use it to get what she wants. what that means --- she’s not really sure and she’s probably way in over her head, but part of her wants to get involved in the war, she’s just not sure what that looks like and which side she would play for. 

she’s recently applied for several assistant positions at the ministry, just because she wants to get away from the family business and because she feels like that’s where all the action is. truth is, eloise is a little nosy and she wants to know what is going on without directly being involved. # we love that 

✶ — personality + random facts

she has good intentions, but they’re often skewed by a faulty moral code and selfish motives. 

some would say ‘two faced bitch’ . . . def not her fave nickname but shit happens !!! 

she is kind of ...  a hot mess. a bit immature as well. doesn’t really know what she wants, or where she stands with the world, but !!! she is trying to figure it out!!! which can cause her to make some bad decisions, but she’s truly doing her best

she likes people who are bad for her and is in general attracted to people she shouldn’t be just because danger is very alluring to her. so if u need someone to corrupt / a heart to break, holla at ur girl 

overall a bad bitch . 

acts like she doesn’t know what’s going on, but she really does and will all of the sudden drop that bomb as if it’s no big deal. think daphne from ocean’s 8, pretends to be dumb when she’s really watching and listening and putting all the pieces together herself. 

craves power, and she’s not really sure if that’s a good or bad thing yet

she’s a bisexual kween 

she's kind of... rly emo . but that's one secret she'll never tell

here’s some wanted connections

eloise is an assistant who needs a boss, so if anyone’s character is a higher up in the ministry & would like an assistant lmk !

an actual best friend she would literally do anything for no matter what . pls give this girl a best friend it’s what she deserves .

girl friends in general please .

opposites attract plot thing  !

eloise is very openly neutral , so i think it would be interesting if there were someone trying to recruit her . this could be from either side (it would be v fun if i had someone from both!) i’m honestly open to the idea of her eventually choosing a side before the war is over, and these people would definitely have a lot of influence on her.

old friends that she hurt bc she’s selfish and it’s hard to get her to care about anything else , or bc of other reasons too !

young love

ex boyfriend or girlfriend - could have had a major falling out or ended amicably - i am honestly open to anything .

current or old friends with benefits , would honestly love either because i love w angst pls n thx

roomates because she’s not trying to go back to living with her parents

frenemies because let’s be real, eloise definitely has a lot of those

anything with angst
