𝑩𝑨𝑪𝑲𝑺𝑻𝑶𝑹𝒀.

 raised  in  opulence  &  splendor,  emma  vanity  has  always  had  a  seemingly  perfect  life.  a  notoriously  old  money  family,  the  vanity’s  made  an  ambitious  move  from  their  home  country  brazil  to  the  united  kingdom,  only  a  few  months  after  emma’s  birth.  they  blended  in  with  pureblood  society  quite  well,  despite  their  newcomer  status,  but  a  perfectly  pure  lineage  &  obscene  amounts  of  wealth  will  do  that  for  you.  to  emma,  things  have  always  come  easy  —  that’s  what  the  world  seems  to  think,  at  least.  a  pretty  face,  a  large  collection  of  friends,  and  even  a  quidditch  career  waiting  for  her.  but  pictures  can  be  deceiving.  aside  from  being  old  money,  the  vanity’s  were  also  old  guard  —  which  meant  traditional  views  regarding  pureblood  supremacy,  and  most  importantly  for  emma,  the  role  a  woman  should  play.  the  only  child  in  a  family  desperate  for  more,  emma  committed  the  terrible  crime  of  not  being  born  a  male  heir,  something  that  dictated  her  parents  treatment  of  her  entire  life.  she  was  to  be  seen,  not  heard.  she  would  not  speak  back.  she  would  behave  herself  perfectly  at  any  given  time,  all  so  she  could  catch  the  perfect  husband  and  live  her  happily  ever  after.                 

 once  she  reached  hogwarts  age,  emma  realized  the  world  was  not  all  her  parents  had  made  it  out  to  be.  there  were  more  options  than  what  she’d  been  taught,  and  like  a  kid  in  a  candystore,  she  wanted  to  try  them  all.  even  at  such  a  young  age,  emma  fell  into  a  problematic  pattern  that  included  constant  rebellious  behavior,  and  later  on,  straight  up  debauchery.  she  still  knew  how  to  behave  herself,  she  was  raised  by  etiquette - focused  parents,  after  all,  but  she  craved  fun  &  adventure  like  nothing  else.  to  her  surprise,  her  parents  turned  a  blind  eye  for  multiple  years  —  and  emma  started  to  think  maybe,  just  maybe,  she  had  a  shot.  quidditch  quickly  became  her  greatest  passion,  bringing  home  the  cup  for  slytherin  at  least  four  times  whilst  she  was  captain  of  the  team.  she  was  a  hellkite  on  the  pitch,  and  a  riot  off  it  as  well.  she  lacked  care  for  what  her  parents  or  other  authority  figures  wanted,  whatever  she  wanted,  that  was  what  mattered  now.      

 of  course  all  good  things  must  come  to  an  end,  and  emma’s  was  quite  abrupt.  she  refers  to  it  as  “ the  intervention ”  whenever  explaining  her  changes  in  character,  but  it  was  much  less  soft  than  that.  being  subject  to  her  parents  mental  &  physical  abuse  for  weeks  on  end,  locked  in  her  rooms,  they  broke  her  down  bit  by  bit,  and  then  offered  her  a  chance  to  get  back  up.  as  the  only  child,  she  was  the  heir  now,  and  as  the  heir,  she  had  to  represent  their  family  with  the  pureblood  community,  and  if  the  option  arose,  the  dark  lord.  emma  could  keep  her  life.  most  of  it,  apart  from  the  bits  they  disliked  too  much.  she  could  even  play  quidditch,  as  long  as  she  quit  after  they  found  her  a  suitable  husband.  but  she  would  have  to  work  hard  &  become  a  valuable  piece  of  her  family  in  return.  the  vanity’s  wanted  to  be  on  top  of  the  wizarding  world,  and  emma  —  pretty faced,  popular,  but  also  tough  &  filled  with  grit,  would  be  their  tool. desperate  for  escape,  she  took  the  deal,  and  has  been  walking  a  terrifying  tightrope  ever  since.  not  one  for  pureblood  supremacy,  or  true  cruelty  for  that  matter,  she’s  found  herself  surrounded  by  friends  from  her  family’s  circles,  all  intent  on  ridding  the  world  of  “ tainted  blood ”.  she’s  pushed  her  opinions  down,  silenced  her  feelings,  and  moved  on.  her  leash  is  tight,  but  she  has  to  learn  &  live  with  it,  because  if  she  doesn’t,  the  consequences  for  her  could  be  much,  much  worse.    

𝑾𝑨𝑵𝑻𝑬𝑫.

 fair  weather  friends :  emma  is,  simply  said,  fun  to  be  around.  she’s  fairly  well -   known  due  to  her  quidditch  career,  but  is  also  massively  social  —  in  the  most  superficial  way,  that  is.  i  assume  she  likely  has  a  lot  of  friends  who  know  her  well  enough  to  call  her  that,  but  not  enough  to  know  what  goes  on  underneath  the  surface.  

 drinking  /  party  buddies :  it  started  with  a  young  girl  who’d  never  been  allowed  to  indulge  rebelling  against  her  parents  through  alcohol,  parties,  and  sex.  while  that  is  still  part  of  her,  emma’s  indulgence  has  been  more  focussed  on  drowing  out  the  trauma  lately  —  though  the  people  she  indulges  with  likely  don’t  know  any  better.

 ex-lover  /  relationship,  currently  antagonistic :  emma’s  focus  on  what  her  parents  would  call  the  “right”  kind  of  people  used  to  be  something  she  cared  less  about,  but  since  her  intervention,  she’s  been  more  secretive  if  someone  she  hangs  out  with  wouldn’t  be  approved  of  by  her  family.  this  person  would  likely  be  either  not  a  pureblood  or  considered  a  current  blood  traitor,  and  their  relationship  was  likely  blown  up  by  emma  post-intervention,  leaving  them  both  with  hurt  feelings.

 partner-in-crime  /  mentor :  since  her  parents  would  like  her  to  fall  more  in  line  with  those  supporting  the  death  eaters,  this  person  came  into  her  life  &  became  a  permanent  fixture.  they  likely  teach  her  in  more  dark  arts  and  are  possibly  even  working  to  recruit  her  into  the  actual  death  eaters.
