                     history
The youngest out of three sisters, Narcissa has always been a bit more spoiled than most, especially being a Black. From a very young age all her life has been dictated by her parents and in the future her chosen husband, but it seems as if she doesnât mind. For Narcissa it is mainly easier to follow the path others had made for her rather than create her own. As long as Narcissa was well behaved and conducted herself in a true lady-like manner, her parents were pleased. Pleased enough to give her everything a young girl could only dream. The finest clothing and jewels the wizarding world can offer (of course nothing muggle made) and they doted on her more so than her two older sisters. Although that affection only came via materialistic presents rather than true affection, something (sheâd never admit) Narcissa very much craved. After understanding at a young age that her parentâs would never give her that, she turned into a romantic. Believing that one day her pureblood prince would come on his white horse, Narcissa become very much obsessed with love. Alas, her storybook ending wasnât in the cards. Lucius Malfoy. A name that would haunt her endlessly, the name that deprived her from achieving the true love she so desperately craved. Narcissa knows she doesnât have a choice in the matter and it is her duty to marry him, but she canât help but sometimes hope that one day he will come to love her; but every time theyâve met had only made her dreams seem farther and farther away.
At Hogwarts she enjoyed herself, a circle of pureblood friends whom sheâs known for years and her sisters whom she was close to during those years, although now it seems as if they had grown apart. It seemed as everyone knew of her, but no one knew who she was due to the fact that Narcissa was a somewhat private person, her secrets are to be kept hidden. She didnât have the need to mingle with houses other than her own Slytherin, because Narcissa didnât believe they were worth any of her time. Her studies went very well, earning top scores among her peers and her robes brand new on a monthly bases. It was more a peaceful time in Narcissaâs life, a time were she could somewhat be away from her parentâs constant watch, but she could never completely be relaxed for they had eyes everywhere.
Narcissa is aware of the upcoming war, there is no where to hide from the whispers that consume almost every corridor in the Black manor. She tries to stray away from bluntly choosing a side, mainly due to fear. Her life currently is exactly as she sees fit and the possibility that will change scares her, but her pride as a pureblood deems as there is no other option than for them to end up on top. Her joining the Malfoy family will only add to her prestige and influence in the wizarding community, and truly believes that no matter the outcome, their influence will never waver.
Currently staying at the Black Manor, Narcissa is playing a waiting game. Waiting for the upcoming war, waiting for her marriage, justâŚwaiting. It is slowing consuming her and her sanity, and Narcissa is hopeful that things will change for the better in the upcoming months.
                   personality
- Immature; Due to being the âbabyâ of the family, it should be no surprise that Narcissa can act somewhat childish. She never really had much responsibility, since other people always took care of her, whether it be the maids or her older sisters.
- Jealous; Narcissa usually spends her time alone the past couple years and somewhere inside her she is jealous of the active life her family has, where she stays at home most of the day. She also has this thing about being upset when someone tries to take something that belongs to her.
- Remorseless; Narcissa does not care at all if her decisions affected others, she has no remorse at all. She only thinks of what effects her, and doesnât ever regret it, since she took so long to get to that conclusion.
- Manipulative; Anything that Narcissa would want, she would most likely receive it. For a Black, it was unlikely for a member of the family not to receive their wishes, and they were taught to use their words wisely. With lots of thought behind her words, Narcissa learned the art of having a silver tongue, and even as a small child mastered the skill.
+ Analytical; Have you heard of people rushing into things? Thinking without acting? Well Narcissa is the exact opposite; she wonât make any rash decisions at all. She always thinks over and over about her choices before making any.
+ Nurturing; Narcissa has a trait that she was most likely born with. She cares about the people around her and has the nagging need to take care of them all the time. Most of the time she is even unaware that she is being âmotherlyâ to others, and does it mainly out of habit.
+ Charming; She is quite charming when the heiress wants to be. Narcissa can be quite the social butterfly, although mainly to reserves that to people that she finds worthy, and are on her level.
+ Feminine; There is no more of a lady than Narcissa Black. Her bloodline, the way she holds herself, behavior, all of this just screams of a lady. Of course she is, Narcissa was trained from a young age to behave that way, the woman knows no other way of life.
                 relationships
bellatrix & andromeda black // while not quite three peas in a pod, she does feel she can count on her sisters when she needs them. or at least, she used to. andromeda has been growing more distant lately, and sometimes bellatrix scares her with her intensity for the cause.
lucius malfoy //Â knowing they were betrothed from a young age hasnât helped their relationship at all. he seems to feel forced into it, and she hates knowing that sheâs in a relationship with someone who wouldnât have picked her, had he had the choice. she strives to be everything he wants anyway.
severus snape // although she wonât admit it to anyone, sheâs always felt a quiet compassion for the smart boy who struggled so much to fit in during their school years. while sheâs not blatant about it, she tries to reach out to him and offer bits of friendship when she can.
alice fortescue // few people irritate her as much as alice. she seems too good and pure to be real, and narcissa feels like sheâs always acting holier-than-thou. narcissa doesnât miss a chance to knock her down a peg.Â
