Anton Dragomir is a twenty-five year old pure-blood wizard who attended Durmstrang. Currently, they are {occupation up to player}.

BACKGROUND

Cold hands, warm heart. That is what your sister has always told you. You were born to wealthy purebloods; the Dragomirs had always been the frigid type, both far too prideful for their own good. Appearance, you were taught, meant everything. And so you fit in with their ideas of what a perfect pureblood family should be. You were a quiet thing meant to be seen and not heard, a son to carry on the Dragomir name. Things changed when your sister came along, bringing chaos with her first breaths. But still you held on to what you were taught even with Ana’s influence. Growing up, you found more comfort in the written word. Books allowed you to experience the world safely, without risking the comforts of your perfect world. You always had trouble expressing yourself with your voice, and so you turned to writing instead with the thought that you would finally be able to share what you felt inside. But even things, sharing your words felt like you were wearing your heart on a sleeve, a blasphemous way to live if you listened to your parents. Even though your sister always tried to drag you along with her latest adventure, you felt you were far more suited to a life in the shadows in an attempt to avoid the responsibility that your parents wanted you to take. You couldn’t tell them no, of course, but you could tell them you weren’t ready to be the heir they needed to buy yourself more time to escape to the quiet life filled with fictional characters that you want to live. 

CONNECTIONS

Anastasiya Dragomir » sister.

There are many things you could say about your sister: they’re reckless, loving, and far too clever. You have never loved anyone as much as them, knowing that they are the reason you’ve been protected so much from you parents. They act out, sometimes, on purpose in order to draw their attention and ire away from you. You are more thankful for that than you could ever say. The move to London was their idea, you following along after your younger sister like always. But you knew this was finally your chance to break free, even if your sister might have to push you into it. 

Aleksandar Krum » former classmate.

You were never the closest with Aleksandar, though your sister knew them much better. But you had an admiration for them, following so closely in their father’s footsteps when you struggled with it for so long. The two of you grew closer after leaving school, empathizing with each other’s struggles. You’ve even toyed with the idea of basing some future storyline off of them. But you would never do that without their permission, not when friendships are so few and far between. 

Brionna Zabini » former summer fling.

They were your first love, something you never really forget. You would be loathe to admit it, but your first short story was based on your romance with them, including the heartbreak you felt when Brionna cruelly left you behind. You never really forgave them for this, though you did let go of that love in the years since then. You have often wondered how they turned out, if they became as cunning and lovely as their mother was rumored to be, but never tried to find out. Some small part of you is hoping to run into them now that you’ve moved to London with your sister, if just to get their opinion on the story you’ve written based on that summer. 

Teddy Lupin » new friendship.

You met Teddy late one night in a bar. You had just been trying something new, trying to get the lay of the land while settling into the city. It was easy to find yourself drawn to them like a moth to a flame. They were bright and cheerful, just like the protagonist in one of your favorite novels. You’ve met a few times since then, both enjoying the time spent together. You never realized how much life you were missing out on until you met them.

Aleksandar Krum is a twenty-two year old half-blood wizard who attended Durmstrang. Currently, they are {occupation up to player}.

BACKGROUND

Cameras flashed around you from the moment you were born, stories were written before you could even say a word. People just clamored to know the firstborn of the famous Viktor Krum — Bulgaria’s quidditch darling, and Triwizard Tournament participant — what would you achieve in your lifetime? The question was asked at every interview and at every dinner that you attended with your parents. The smile that came to your face was well-practiced, and your voice was smooth when you said that you were still figuring things out. It was obvious that you had the same quidditch prowess as your father, and many teams had come to scout you, but you never felt quite right in the sky. Still, you could never turn your back on it. You resembled your father in all ways — in appearance, in mannerisms, but never in wants and desires. But no matter how much time passed, you could never break free of the model the world had molded you into. The strong stance, chin raised and shoulders back. Words lingered on your tongue, there was so much to say, but still you stayed stoic. Some called you cold, some called you a duplicate. You called yourself trapped.

CONNECTIONS

Anton & Anastasiya Dragomir » former schoolmates.

You know both of the Dragomirs because of school, and you never had a problem with either. They were nice to you — that’s what mattered. While in school, you would say you got along with Ana better. They didn’t walk around you on eggshells, and you appreciated that. You liked their liveliness. Now that you are out of school, you’ve been spending more time with Anton. It is no slight against Ana, but you just wind up with Anton more often. They’re different than their sibling, but you can appreciate their ability to listen. They’re easy to talk to.

James Potter » quidditch friend.

For what it was worth, as much as you would like to talk about something that isn’t quidditch for once in your life, James’ passion and enthusiasm for the sport is intoxicating. When they talk about flying or getting the quaffle through one of the hoops, you find yourself looking at the sport through a new lens. You don’t have the heart to tell them you’re disillusioned with the sport. If anything could break their heart, it might just be that.

Joely Delacour » flatmate.

You had known her for years when out of the blue she asked you to share a flat with her. You had no reason to say no — you knew no one else in London at the time – so the next thing you knew you were sharing a flat with Joely Delacour. You remember the little girl she used to be, wild and eccentric, and you are glad she has grown up a bit. Still, she’s easy to live with, and makes sure you get out of the house instead of just sulking.

Teddy Lupin » friendly.

You wouldn’t have expected the auror to be so friendly — you were expecting someone stiff, and serious — but then the first thing Teddy did when you met them was down a drink and then change his hair to a bright maroon as a part of a dare. He is the epitome of ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’. You appreciate how he always has a joke ready to tell, and you appreciate how in the blink of an eye he can go from laughing to giving sage advice.

Rosa Fortescue is a nineteen year old half-blood witch who attended Hogwarts. During their time there, they were sorted into Ravenclaw. Currently, they are {occupation up to player}.

BACKGROUND

Your mother once voiced her surprise that flowers didn’t bloom where you walked. You were a thing of beauty and grace from the time you were born, oozing charm and kindness. People were surprised how you never faked how you felt. They were surprised you weren’t spoiled, they were surprised that you weren’t bitter below the surface. You were always just pure, genuine Rosa: sweet as fairy floss, and bright as the sky. Worries never got to you, not like your sibling. You could figure out the solution to a problem with a long night’s thought combined with effort and desire. You knew the value of hard work. You knew that you might not get everything handed to you in life. Days and months and years passed, and still you floated on air. You weren’t ruined by the world. You weren’t fazed by how terrible some could be. 

CONNECTIONS

Cristian Fortescue » younger brother.

You hope they don’t notice the sympathy in your eyes when you look at them. There is no doubt that you love your sibling, no doubt that you would give the world for them -- but you do pity them. You are upset by the way they close themselves off. You want to show them everything the world has to offer. You want them to look through your rose-colored lenses.

James Potter » best friend.

Everyone told you that James Potter was the most arrogant person to walk the halls of Hogwarts since, well, James Potter. You didn’t really talk to them until a professor assigned the two of you to work on a project. They didn’t seem as terrible as people made them out to be. Soon enough, you found yourself talking with them until the early hours of the night ( an invisibility cloak came in handy ), and every spare moment you had was spent laughing and just enjoying yourself. You’re glad you came to know them.

Molly Weasley » friend/interest.

They bring you flowers, and you swoon. Molly was introduced to you by James, and your heart hasn’t found a steady rhythm since. You talk about ice creams and siblings, and life and love -- Merlin, every minute you spend with them goes by too quickly, and time passes too slowly when you’re without. You genuinely like them, and your feelings are strong. You know you should tell them; it’s just a matter of when and how.

Lysander Scamander » annoyance.

They have gotten under your skin since they sat next to you after being sorted into Ravenclaw, but you knew them before that. You know it’s mean, but you just can’t help the frown that crosses your face when you see them. Maybe it’s the way they’ve always had things figured out -- like you, but better. Maybe it’s the way their name has prominence in a way yours can’t mirror. Maybe it’s the fact they don’t have anything better to talk about than magical creatures. You understand the allure, you understand what family they are from -- but still you get frustrated at their singular mind. You would even talk to them about quidditch if they wanted to -- though, you do have James for that.

Molly Weasley is a nineteen year old half-blood witch who attended Hogwarts. During their time there, they were sorted into Gryffindor. Currently, they are {occupation up to player}.

BACKGROUND

You were born and immediately everyone could see the pride within your parents’ eyes was focused upon you. They say you were an easy baby, quick to laugh and easy to love. A silver spoon in your mouth, you could have whatever you wished for, but this is something you never took advantage of. You had your mother’s softness, your father’s pride (your grandmother’s temper, too-- only fitting, considering you shared her name). You spent your childhood days lazing about on the fields behind your house. You pointed towards the clouds in the sky, you picked bouquets of flowers to give to your sister in mother. You were soft and gentle, and it was never any question to see a smile grace your lips. Going to Hogwarts, many were surprised to see you go into Gryffindor. You had the Weasley name, yes (the tradition of Weasleys going to the Lion house still was whispered among older families), but your soft disposition had made you a hard place. Some thought Hufflepuff, like your mother, others suggested Ravenclaw. You always had been inquisitive. Still, you liked the idea of being in the house so many of your family members. The hat knew that, and there you went. No matter, you still thrived. A gentle lion, people sometimes forgot you had claws. They came out rarely, but when they did, it was a sight to see. Leaving Hogwarts, it  became apparent how many people see kindness as weakness. Brows drawn together, you kept an even expression, a cool demeanor. You remained kind, but the pressures exerted on you by those who want to use you are weighing heavy on your shoulders.

CONNECTIONS

Lucy Weasley » sister.

Oh, Lucy. You worry for them more than you’ll ever let on. They are so opinionated, so passionate. One wrong word or one wrong move could send everything around them tumbling. You don’t voice your fears aloud to them -- you merely make suggestions of what they should. Do this, not that. You know they have a good head on their shoulders, you know they can succeed -- they just need to take the right steps. 

The Potter-Weasley Clan » extended family.

You don’t have favorites (except for James, but you chalk that up to having been the same age and sorted within the same house), and you make sure every one of your cousins know you love them. You send them all owls with letters and treats at least once a month, and you see them as much as you can. You’re the little mum of the group -- everyone says you’re just like your grandmother.

Lorcan Scamander » former friend.

The dissolution of your friendship came when Lorcan and Lysander stopped talking. You had urged Lorcan to make reparations with their twin, to try and mend what had been broken. For some time, you thought they had listened to you, that they had reached out and were at least trying. But they had only pulled further away. You kept pushing, and finally Lorcan snapped. They said they didn’t need Ly, that they didn’t need anyone, not even you. You nodded and walked out of the door, out of their life. 

Rosa Fortescue » swooning for.

If James ever heard that they were the reason you met Rosa, they would lord the fact over your head until the day you were both in the ground. They are the only one who knows of your crush for the eldest Fortescue -- though you wonder if anyone has a guess because of how much time you spend at the Ice Cream Parlour speaking with them,  because of how you bring them little sprigs of flowers every time you see them. You just like them so much. They are good and lovely and kind -- they match you. Your heart skips a beat when you see them, and it aches every day without.
