Hank “Happy” Dwarf // 17  // 5th year // Pukwudgie // No-Maj-born

undecided  

FC: Kiowa Gordon

Happy, in all honesty, has never been very happy. Much like the other Dwarves, his time as a foster kid had been less than ideal. He dealt with poor living conditions, never getting enough to eat but worse than that, he dealt with neglect. It seemed to him that nobody really cared about him which he thought made sense, he was an orphan wasn’t he? Why should anyone care. His life began to change a little when he moved in with the Dwarves and became a part of their family. He expected that the sadness would go away but it just didn’t, it seemed to be getting worse.

Hank always smiled, no matter what he went through, no matter what he felt deep down. He thought if he kept smiling, he would one day feel happy, it hasn’t worked yet but people seem to have been fooled by his mask, including his family. As a child, people always felt close to Happy since he seemed so happy, in truth, he has never once made an honest connection with anyone. He knows he should be honest with himself and the people around him but how could he possibly to that? He was Happy after all, people depended on him to be the happy influence in all things. If he keeps this up, he knows he’ll fall apart but they way he sees it, he has no choice but to see how long he’ll last.

Dopey: He has a good relationship with Dopey.

Sleepy: He tries to spend most of his time with Sleepy since she isn’t conscious for most of their hang outs. It allows him to lower his mask just a little.

Florian Prince // 16  // 4th year // Thunderbird // Pureblood  

Undecided  

FC: Freddie Highmore

They say some are born lucky but despite his many blessings, Florian is not one of them. He is a member of an important, wealthy family, he’s a skilled enough wizard and he has a cool older brother. He has a lot to be thankful for and his is thankful but he’s also very sick and no healer he’s ever seen has been able to figure out what’s wrong with him. He has delicate bones, bruises easily, experiences a lot of pain, lightheadedness and nausea. The symptoms are chronic and ever present in his life making his ambitions hard to pursue.

What Florian wants more than anything is to travel, he has a profound sense of wanderlust, disappearing to different places through his minds eye and through books. He often goes out on walkabout on his own, getting into trouble regularly and disappearing for days on end, scaring is brother. He always manages to come home again but what if, one time, he just doesn’t make it? When he does stick around you can often hear him singing with that hauntingly beautiful voice of his through the halls of Ilvermorny…

Grimhilde Queen // 21  // 9th year // Wampus // Pureblood

Wizarding World Politics  Specialization

FC: Leighton Meester

Grimhilde was born to class in a very serious way and learned from a very early age how to use her status to Dominate others. She can lie with the best of them, manipulate and cheat people and if she really wanted to, she knows how to kill someone and get away with it. Most importantly, she learned that she was divinely deserving of this power. To do these things was her right, no, her duty. She had a duty to elevate the Queen name to knew and exciting heights, it was her destiny.

The older she grew, the prettier she grew as well and that only served to strengthen her powers. She became more arrogant and cruel, making those around her miserable. No matter what awful things she did however, people still flocked to her for her status and beauty. She knew people spoke about her behind her back, expressed pitiful frustration at her perfection and strength and yet they would always admit that despite it all, she was beautiful. Things continued that way until one time she heard a few students talking about her and the conversation did not go as expected.

“Grimhilde’s not even that pretty,” said one girl to another, “Yuki is so much prettier than her. She’s going to be super stunning when she grows up.” She froze in slack-jawed shock where she hid behind a pillar. Yuki? Yukihime Shirono? She was fourteen years old and Grimhilde was a nineteen year old goddess, she was a woman and Yuki was a child. She dismissed it as madness at first but then she heard it again and again and she decided that Miss Yukihime the snow princess, had to go down.

Positive Traits

Strong, Confident, Intelligent

Negative Traits

Ruthless, Jealous, Vain

Connections

Yukihime: She hates Yuki and wants her dead, literally.  

The Seven Dwarves: She thinks of them as miserable outcasts and actively tries to make their lives miserable, almost always succeeding.      

Florian Prince: She thinks he’s pathetic but acknowledges he’s from a good background. She will do anything to prevent him from getting close to Yuki and bolstering her social status.

Barry “Bashful” Dwarf // 17  // 5th year // Pukwudgie // No-Maj-born

undecided

FC: Alfred Enoch

Barry was born in Texas to a loving mother and father who died when he was only three. Unlike the other Dwarves, he has memories of a happier time, of a normal family and although he misses them terribly, he feels incredibly guilty for these memories. He took special care to think about the memories every day so he doesn’t loose them, eventually leaning to duplicate the memories into objects and talismans, an incredibly difficult feat of magic for a wizard as young as himself.  

After learning the talisman trick, he gained a reputation around school for his talent, which only grew and grew.  The more people complimented and praised him, the more bashful he became, much to the chagrin of many. Deep down, he knows the shyness he feels is rooted in his guilt but he can’t move past it because he honestly believes he deserves to feel guilty. He’s been loosing sleep lately over it and if he looses any more, it might affect his grades but he’s wondering if that wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Positive Traits

Humble, Considerate, Careful

Negative Traits

Guilty, Passive, Nervous  

Connections

Yukihime: He has a lot of respect for Yukihime. He calls her Snow, a nick name he hopes catches on because it’s such a pretty one.  

Doc: When Doc tells him to do something, he does it, no questions asked.  

Grumpy: He’s a little intimidated by Grumpy but thinks he’s very cool and looks up to him.

Dopey: Their constant compliments drive him crazy.  

Happy: Bashful and Sleepy are both aware that Happy is going through some serious problems.  He desperately wants to help but he just doesn’t know how.  

Sneezy: He doesn’t approve of her cocaine dealing.

Sleepy: Bashful feels closest to Sleepy, probably because much like himself, her childhood wasn’t as traumatic as the others.      

Grimhilde Queen: He fears her but honestly thinks that between Takeo and Grumpy, they have scarier people on their side.      

Florian Prince: He trusts Florian.

Silena “Sleepy” Dwarf // 17  // 5th year // Horned Serpent // No-Maj-born

undecided

FC: Alia Shawkat

Sleepy doesn’t remember most of her childhood since she’s spent most of it asleep. She has a severe case of Narcolepsy which keeps her in the land of dreams and not so much reality. Her condition has effected nearly everything in her life and there’s a lot she simply can’t do because there’s a good chance she’ll fall asleep doing it. Luckily for everyone around her, she doesn’t snore, not that she would care if she did, she has a very devil may care attitude about most things. She moved in with the Dwarves along with the others in order to get away from people who wanted to try and cure her condition because honestly, she really doesn’t want to be cured.

Her condition is less of a sickness and more of a gift, it’s rare but she has the gift of dreaming, she can project her body onto the astral plane and sometimes, she can see the future. She takes very special classes with Professor Cato Pillar in order to learn to control her gift and hopefully use it for the greater good, there’s just one little problem, she’s been falling asleep less and less. Professor Pillar says that kind of thing happens a lot to dreamers, they grow out of their gift. To add insult to injury, it would seem she isn’t even the only Dreamer at school and she’s far from the strongest. She wants to be the best at dreaming, it’s the only thing that’s ever mattered to her and she simply refuses to let her powers fade away.

Positive Traits

Calm, Intelligent, Creative

Negative Traits

Proud, Selfish, Jealous  

Connections

Yukihime: She loves Yuki and the food she makes  

Doc: Despite wanting to sleep more, she’s very fond of coffee and is always there to direct Doc on how to make one. Lately though, she’s been trying to drink decaf.

Grumpy: She appreciates him for not wanting to make unnecessary conversation all the time.

Dopey: Dopey braids her hair while she sleeps, she’s okay with it.

Happy: She has a feeling there’s a lot more to happy’s emotional state than he lets on, she’s spoken about it with Bashful but neither can figure out what exactly they should do.

Sneezy: They often use their astral form to keep an eye on Sneezy, kind of like a guardian angel.  

Bashful: She has the most honest and open conversations with Bashful.    

Grimhilde Queen: She’s Terrified of Grimhilde.    

Florian Prince: She’s of the opinion that Florian would be a good match for Yuki and thinks they should date.

Songi “Sneezy” Dwarf // 16  // 4th year // Horned Serpent // No-Maj-born

undecided  

FC: Amber Liu

Songi grew up in poor conditions in gross houses full of mould and dust and as a result they developed some pretty bad allergies. She sneezes a lot as a result but since moving in with Doc and the family, she’s been a lot better. They’re proud to be a member of such a cool crew and always wished there was more they could do to make their life better. They spent so long poor that they were desperate to have money and so they decided to turn to some less than legal options. Their nickname took on a whole new meaning when they started manufacturing and dealing cocaine.

Their family they love so much isn’t fond of their business but they’ve been able to live a little bit better as a result of it. They want to expand their business, make it bigger but the bigger the business, the greater the risk of getting caught. They’re feeling pretty invincible about it all but will that sense of invincibility be their downfall or will someone betray her with her best interests at heart?

Positive traits

Industrious, Clever, Thoughtful

Negative Traits

Bull headed, Reckless, Overconfident

Connections

Yukihime: Just like the rest of the dwarves (except for Grumpy) Sneezy loves Yuki, especially her gooseberry pies and her stew.  

Doc: Sneezy sometimes buts heads with Doc, they think Doc is too critical of what they’re trying to do and is unable to see the big picture  

Grumpy: They tend to lean on Grumpy more than the others, feeling as if he understands what they’re trying to do for the family. The also appreciate not being heckled about their business every five minutes.

Dopey: Dopey often accompanies Sneezy on drug deals, Sneezy can’t really tell what Dopey thinks of it since they’ve never spoken about it.  

Sleepy: They like to draw on Sleepy’s face when they pass out, nothing mean, just small cute flowers or music notes.  

Happy: They tend to take Happy a little for granted.

Bashful: They get annoyed with how shy they are and always push him into doing things that get him out there, sharing his talents.  

Grimhilde Queen: Grimhilde scares Sneezy.    

Florian Prince: They consider him to be a boring rick kid pretty boy but they also think he’s pretty nice.  

Gordon “Grumpy” Dwarf // 18  // 6th year // Wampus // No-Maj-born

Magic Geology specialization

FC: Tyler Posey

He was grumpy from the very beginning, crying and screaming a lot as a baby and throwing tantrum after tantrum as a child. This behaviour made it hard for him to get settled into a foster family and so he floated from home to home until he ran into fellow foster kid Devon who had a plant to gather the misfits in the system under one roof. It was Gordon who suggested a last name for them, Dwarf because they were all short on something, time, energy, patience, money. In hindsight he sees it was a dumb name but hey, it was their name and it made all the difference.

Fiercely protective of his new family, he was more than a little distrusting of Yuki who just stumbled in unannounced. For years he thought that she was the greatest possible threat to their safety and happiness but that was before the…incident. The summer before starting his fifth year, while on his bi-weekly midnight jog in central park, he was attacked and bit by a werewolf. Lucky for him, there were aurors on patrol to save his life and in the chaos he escaped them as well. Unlucky for him, he turned into a werewolf on the next full moon.

He’s kept his condition from his family a secret so far, not wanting to burden them or scare them away like he scared everyone else. He’s become more and more angry and it’s beginning to affect his schoolwork. He knows he needs to tell someone but he can’t bring himself to. In the meantime, he’s learning as much as he can about how to deal with being a werewolf.

Positive Traits

Determined, Witty, Brave

Negative Traits

Temperamental, Judgmental, Stubborn.

Connections

Yukihime: He’s very resentful of her and has no idea that she’s noticed that something is off with him. She may very well be the last person he would ever want to find out about what he’s become.  

Doc: There is no one on the planet that Grumpy respects more than Doc. He’d follow the guy straight into hell if he asked him to.

Sneezy: Grumpy does his best to make sure that Sneezy is safe with her cocaine dealing.

Dopey: When he really needs to relax, he’ll take a few puffs off a joint with Dopey. He’s very protective of them and likes to make fun of them.

Sleepy: He gets along great with Sleepy, neither of them are really talkers so they suit each other perfectly. He tries to watch movies with her but she always falls asleep. He’ll pause the movie when he notices she’s asleep and waits to continue until she wakes up.  

Happy: Happy is probably the only incessantly cheerful person that Grumpy enjoys.

Bashful: He finds Bashful’s behaviour very puzzling and avoids ever giving them a compliment. He loves them to pieces, the same as the rest of his family, but thinks they probably feel more comfortable with fewer compliments.

Grimhilde Queen: He hates her, he knows exactly the kind of person she is.  

Florian Prince: He thinks he’s a dumb pretty boy rich kid.

Dolly “Dopey” Dwarf // 16  // 4th year // Thunderbird // No-Maj-born

Construction and Trades specialization

FC: Miley Cyrus

Dolly is smart, extremely so and adventurous, the sort to try nearly anything at least once. Unfortunately, their desire to explore has always been hindered by their debilitating anxiety. Ever since they were a child, it would strike hard and without warning, paralysing them. The homes they lived in as a foster kid didn’t help matters, they were all horrible and their guardians were cruel at best. Things changed when they met Doc and were invited to live with them in the home they were making.

Not long after moving into the New York apartment, they met some people in an alley smoking pot. They offered to let them try some and being a young child with an adventurous spirit they did just that. The experience changed them, they found the herb cut the anxiety right down to size, it was remarkable. Finally, they could breath a sigh of relief. The only problem was that the drug made them act a lot dumber than what they actually are and caused them to miss tests and do poorly on projects. Their grades are okay for now but they’ve been inching closer and closer to failing.  

Positive Traits

Funny, Adventurous, Inclusive

Negative Traits

Lazy, Addictive, Avoidant

Connections

Yukihime: They love Yuki, they especially love smoking with her.  

Doc: Doc is like their mom pretty much, they love him to pieces and they appreciate him for rescuing them from their old life.  

Grumpy: They wish that Grumpy didn’t hate on Yuki so much, they think the three of them could have fun smoking together.

Sneezy: Dopey often accompanies Sneezy on drug deals.

Sleepy: They braid Sleepy’s hair when they’re asleep and often proof reads their school papers.  

Happy: Happy is the only person who can keep them in a calm mood when they aren’t high.

Bashful: They love complimenting Bashful to see how he reacts.  

Grimhilde Queen: The one person Dopey unapologeticaly doesn’t like.    

Florian Prince: They can relate to constantly being sick all the time, they just feel bad he has no way out of his condition.
