I like connecting with people, and that’s what good art is, a point of connection. There’s nothing better, on stage or on film, than feeling like you’ve achieved that.

Dorcas couldn’t help but laugh at the term ‘missy’, despite the other woman’s obvious exasperation. Some cat jumped up the couch to curl itself near her feet, as if it knew its role in the argument. “I’m sorry, grandma. O'Fluffy right there is such an exciting sight I totally stopped listening to you! Couldn’t help it!” She was definitely pushing a button, and oh was it worth it looking at Arabella’s face. She didn’t need to like the cats in order to enjoy her presence though.“
“His name is Fuzzy,” she said, her voice even more venomous. She didn’t mind having the younger Order member over, liked the idea that she was looking after her --- even if, sometimes, she felt nervous when she was there, but she had that with everyone --- but moments like these made her question why she bothered. “And you wish I was your grandmother. I’d make a great one.”
@fataledahlia asked me for a random encounter starter
“Okay, weird question,” began Arabella, glancing over the bar to the person sitting nearest to her. “WHAT are you drinking? That looks like a right good drink, and I’m all about trying new things.” She wasn’t, really, liked the things she was used to, but she was feeling a nervosity she was desperate to shake with some small talk.
@brokenlockhart asked me to use a line from my favorite TV show as a starter ( orphan black. )
“You selfish, manure bag of a man!” exclaimed Arabella. Some days, anything could tick her off --- from the wind blowing too hard or not at all, to certain words people spoke, even if their intent wasn’t malicious at all. She looked at Gilderoy, took a breath, straightened her back, opening her mouth to apologise before closing it again.
@wanderiisms asked me to use a line from my favorite TV show as a starter ( orphan black. )
“After all these years? I feel electric,” said Arabella, and she wasn’t lying as she glanced at her fellow Order member. Being part of the Order finally gave her the feeling that she was doing something, lit her aflame with purpose. Of course, university hadn’t made her feel useless at all, but this ... THIS was something else entirely. “I’m done sitting idly by.”

@wormtvil asked me to use a line from my favorite movie as a starter ( heathers. )
“If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being. You'd be a game-show host,” said Arabella. She wasn’t usually a source of advise ( especially not advise this cheesy ), but she had her moments. “So allow yourself to frown a little, every now and then, yeah?”
@dorcasing asked me for an argument/fight starter
“LISTEN, missy --,” the term missy wasn’t meant to be used, it reminded her much of old ladies ( which she wasn’t ) and mean school teachers ( which she wasn’t ), but it was the heat of the moment, and Arabella was seriously agitated. “Cats are NOT boring. I --- I get that dragons breathe fire and that they fly, but cats -- especially when crossed with Kneazles, are exciting too, so ... shut it.”

please don’t expect me to always be good and kind and loving. there are times when I will be cold and thoughtless and hard to understand.
ARABELLA FIGG is AN ORDER MEMBER in the war, even though HER official job is as AN EMPLOYEE AT THE MAGICAL MENAGERY. the THIRTY year old SQUIB is known to be STEADFAST and ADAPTABLE but also PARANOID and EMOTIONALLY REPRESSED. some might label them as THE CAT LADY.
You have a cat, don’t you? How’d you know?
It’s very obvious.
basics
➥ Legal name: Arabella Doreen Figg ➥ Nickname/alias: Ara, Bella ➥ Birthday: October 9 ( libra ) ➥ Birthplace: In the country of Galway, Ireland ➥ Current living place: Brixton, London ➥ Gender | species: Cisfemale | Squib ➥ Preferred pronouns: She/her ➥ Sexual orientation: Panromantic, pansexual ➥ Spoken languages: English, Amharic ➥ Bloodstatus: Pureblood
a history lesson
➥ Current work: Salesperson & cat expert at the Magical Menagerie ➥ Education: English lit bachelor degree ➥ Socioeconomic level growing up: Upper middle class pureblood family ➥ Living conditions growing up: She grows up the oldest of three and her youngest siblings both show signs of magic before her. Her parents fear the worst, and when she never shows them and no letter arrives, there is only disappointment. Arabella was eventually dropped at a muggle boarding school after being tutored, because her parents just didn’t want to deal with her. It’s a long story I will talk more about in her intro! ➥ Criminal record: None.
relationships
➥ Parents: Frederic Figg and Naomi Figg néé Shafiq. Both estranged. ➥ Siblings: Two younger siblings, up for grabs so TBD! ➥ Relationship status: Single ➥ Pets: Owl ( Jane ), four cats ( Fuzzy, Jimmie, Charleston and Mister )
let’s get physical
➥ Character’s build: Rather short, skinny ➥ Height: 160cm / 5′3 ➥ Hair colour: Black ➥ Eye colour: Brown ➥ Body modifications: None ➥ Scars/birthmarks: None that are notable ➥ Powers/abilities: Arabella is smart. She went to muggle university while being part of the Order, is good at applying her brain to something. She’s sneaky, too, good at adapting to any given situation and pretending, lying, making her way through it with a stoic face. She’s dependable. ➥ Restrictions: Coops up her anger and is very paranoid. ➥ Physical or mental illnesses: (Undiagnosed) paranoia. ➥ Addictions: Keeping cats.
magical info
➥ Wand: None. ➥ Boggart: At this time, it’s Death Eaters; Arabella fears for herself a lot, due to her being a Squib. ➥ Patronus: None, would have been a hare. ➥ House: She would have been a Slytherin!!! ➥ Favourite subject: English ➥ Worst subject: Maths ➥ Clubs/Extracurricular: Football team
the juicy stuff
➥ Vice: lust / greed / gluttony / sloth / pride / envy / wrath ➥ Virtue: chastity / temperance / charity / diligence / forgiveness / humility / kindness ➥ Religion: Agnostic. ➥ Alignment: lawful / neutral / chaotic || good / neutral / evil ➥ Element: Earth
underneath her cynicism, there is a cowering idealist. a romantic running scared, both fearful that she cannot believe, and absolutely terrified that she can. she is the girl who will flee kicking and screaming from any real intimacy. yet underneath her cynicism, she has an extraordinary gift for hope, an infinite capacity for faith, and the ability to love limitlessly. without expectations and without demands. because once you have her heart, you will have it forever.

i don’t blame harry for being freaked out in order of the phoenix though, i mean i’d be fucked up if i learned that my eccentric old cat lady babysitter was secretly a wizard spy the whole time

honestly landslide is too important of a song to just be played haphazardly on the radio
it should only be listened to if and when you’re ready to accept stevie nicks into your heart and admit that you’re afraid of changing and you don’t know if you can handle the seasons of your life
And these are my vices: impatience, bad temper, wine, the more than occasional cigarette, an almost unquenchable thirst to be kissed. a hunger that isn’t hunger but something like fear…
Cecilia Woloch, from “Fireflies,” Carpathia (via lifeinpoetry)
