Vices:
stuck up | coming from a wealthy family that doesn't have any room for imperfection, it's easy for her to have a stuck up attitude towards things that are 'beneath' her. she doesn't like doing many muggle things as they feel cheap and rather depressing in her eyes. if someone doesn't meet her expectations as a witch or wizard, you can see her expression change to one of annoyance and borderline disgust. she is trying to fix this but she cannont lower her standards at all.

perfectionist | failure isn't an option in her family so naturally, she doesn't enjoy it when she doesn't succeed perfectly. if she finishes something and it's less than perfect, she will be in a terrible mood and look ready to curse someone. it's embarrassing to her and has transferred to other parts of her life, including her appearance. she is very strict with how she conducts herself and even what she eats, scared of looking less than perfect.

lustful | this is a trait that seemed to develop when she blossomed into a rather popular student for her good looks. she discovered that it was fun to mess around with those she had no interest in dating and it gave her relief. now she doesn't really pay attention to the relationship status of her partners which can cause a lot of trouble for everyone involved.

judgemental | quick to judge those who don't fit the mold of the ideal person, she tends to make her opinions of others known. she tries not to be too rude when going about it, but occasionally comments slip out while she's talking to her friends. not much of a gossip, but her thoughts on a person tend to swiftly spread around the school until they become rather harsh rumors. the worst ones are often about how a student dresses or eats as she was raised with such strict expectations and therefore places them on those around her.

Virtues:
brave | every Gryffindor is brave, that's what makes them so stupid. this was the mindset of the girl until she was put into a situation that required her to stand up when nobody else would and bravely stare the 'enemy' in the eye without a sliver of fear. while she isn't rash or impulsive with her bravery, there's no denying that she will stand up when nobody else will and she will, in the end, do what she thinks is right.

intelligent | much like her uncle, maura holds a very bright mind and is constantly needing to nurture it with new information. she seems to know everything about anything you can think of, even something as complicated as ancient magic or runes. while she doesn't show off her intelligence or even uses it as much as she should, it is something that has saved her on more than one occasion and even caused her house to receive points.

fair | with things such as arguments or conflicts in general, she is usually involved and will listen to both sides of the story. she isn't someone who lets bias or opinion rule over what is right or fair so she is someone who can settle disputes quite quickly. she has ended a lot of potentially poor ideas from transpiring.

honest | maura knows that honesty can sometimes hurt someone, but she also understands that it is important to not lie. so the girl tends to cushion the blow when giving someone her honest opinion, often resulting in it being received better than if she said it any other way. she isn't someone who will lie and is trusted by those within her house.

Opinions on Death Eaters: "i would prefer not to talk about them. they will do terrible things, even if they don't want to. they live a sad existence."

Opinions on Blood Purity: "being raised in a family of blood purists, it's almost impossible to not have some aversion towards those who aren't pure. it's a difficult thing for me to base an opinion on simply because i am surrounded by many non-pure-bloods in my house. most likely the only thing your blood status has an effect on is how you act in life. half-bloods tend to try and prove themselves worthwhile like pure-bloods, and muggle-borns usually keep their heads down and pass by without being noticed."

Thoughts on the upcoming War: "this is something i was taught to expect when i was a little girl. it was always whispered about in my family and everyone seemed to know exactly when he would come back and when his war would begin. rather than being scared or shocked by it, i'm more worried about the countless lives that are going to be lost and the fact i will have to choose between my family and my friends."

Thoughts on the Chosen One: "it must be rather difficult knowing you're the only thing standing between you-know-who and the rest of the world. plus they are quite annoying don't you think?"

Family:
arlo nott | father | alive
right from the moment she was born, arlo knew that he would love his daughter unconditionally. she was so bright and pretty to look at, her blue eyes practically sparkling. as the girl grew older, arlo made sure to teach her all about the family values and rules which naturally led to her learning dark magic. he was determined for his daughter to follow in the footsteps of her older siblings. however, since she was sorted into Gryffindor there has been a strain on their relationship, mainly because he blames himself for her failures.

corliss nott | mother | alive
maura's mother is one of the only ones in the family that openly fought against the decision to mark her daughter as a traitor. she had a soft spot for the young maura as she knew that somehow the girl was different from every other child of hers. she was kind and thought of what would make corliss happy, not what would make her happy. the pair are very close and corliss will do whatever it takes to protect her children and maura is no exception.

hollace nott | sister | alive
being her older sister, the pair have a pretty good relationship. hollace is someone who follows the rules and tries not to upset anyone which is something she taught maura to do, especially after receiving her mark. they were close while the girl lived at home but since she married and moved out, they rarely see each unless it's for family holidays or gatherings.

illyria nott | sister | alive
the two girls are the closest in age, only one year separating them, however, illyria tends to keep her distance from maura as she finds her embarrassing. not just for having the mark of a traitor, but because she freely flirts with people and plays quidditch rather recklessly. they constantly bicker and Illyria will always complain that her older sister is embarrassing her and making it difficult for people to take the family seriously.

kinsey nott | brother | alive
relationship.

orman nott | grandfather | alive

ellias nott | cousin | alive

MAURA
NOTT
GRYFFINDOR
11/08/1979
Full Name: maura evangeline nott.
Nicknames: eva.
Age: sixteen.
Birthday: November 8th.
Zodiac: Scorpio.
Gender: Cisgender Female.
Sexuality: Bicurious.
Year: sixth.
Blood Status: Pure-blood.
Birthplace: the nott estate. lancashire, england.

Height: 5'9".
Body Type: ectomorph but very in shape from quidditch. she has a very strict diet to stay in shape.
Hair Color: natural platinum blonde hair but she tends to dye it when she's bored.
Eyes: bright blue-green.
Mods: various ear piercings.
Ethnicity: british.

Scars: she has one scar that runs down the center of her chest from when she was sorted into gryffindor.
Style: always up to date on the latest trends, she isn't afraid to experiment with her fashion. it's not uncommon to see her returning to school with a few extra trunks full of clothes.
Face Claim: elle fanning.

Description: tall and slender, this blonde sticks out from the rest of her peers as she walks through hogwarts, her head held high and gave never wavering. there's an air of confidence and elegance that surrounds the young witch and it seems like she is always composed, never phased by some silly trick an underclassman may pull on her. she is known to have a rather unhappy expression on her features all the time, but others will swear it is a face of sheer judgment as she has to mingle with muggle-borns and half-bloods alike. neither is true, but she does admit she has an unfriendly resting face while wandering to her next class. this seems to be a common trait within the nott family, alongside the striking hair and bold features, all of which she displays. the girl has a strong square jawline that helps give her a stern look, yet childishly plump cheeks that are always rosy. every time the girl smiles, many of her family members comment about how round her face gets (something she will appreciate later in life apparently).

maura's eyes are an ever-changing thing, shifting from blue to green and sometimes even a mix of the two. this little fact is often overlooked due to her large eyes that are tastefully complimented by her thick eyelashes and full eyebrows. shifting down a little further, it's easy to notice how small her nose is, often compared to a button. her lips are somewhat similar being delicate and feminine, not overwhelming any other feature of hers. her skin is unmarked by blemishes except for the occasional beauty mark and the splash of freckles she gets during the sunny months. these small things make the girl appear livelier and make it easier to get along with her. still, there is a bit of a wall between her and those outside of her circle of friends. this wall is her fashion.

maura isn't someone who can settle for unattractive clothing and must be wearing the latest trend so she can decide if it's a hit or a miss. this has caused her to be rather snobbish when it comes to what her housemates and other peers are wearing, but she'll rarely voice those opinions. still, she was voted the best-dressed quidditch player in the nosy niffler so she is satisfied with that. many people seem to forget that she is the seeker for the quidditch team, but it is something she prides herself on greatly. she has kept herself in very good shape while also staying light and nimble so she can catch the snitch before anyone else.

MBTI/Enneagram: the commander (entj). the challenger (8).
Alignment: chaotic neutral.
Boggart: herself wearing a wedding dress.
Wand: acacia wood with a phoenix feather core, 14 1/2" and unyielding flexibility.
Patronus: lynx.
Pet: she owns a male egyptian mau named casimir.
Clubs: Quidditch (Seeker) and Prefect.
Amortentia Scent: she often will smell [scent here] when someone has brewed this potion. currently, if someone was to like her, they would smell wildflowers, sweet cream, and warm brandy.

Fears: failing, losing herself, doing the wrong thing, gaining weight.

Likes: quidditch, fashion, winning, trying new things, quiet spells, calm people, flowers, sleeping in, practicing, perfecting something, praise, getting good grades, animals, soft things, winter.

Dislikes: failing, losing, waking up early, getting knocked off her broom, bad parties, ugly outfits, her family, intimacy, being vulnerable, marriage, her scar, holidays, ugly Christmas sweaters, loud magic.

Skills: non-verbal magic, reading runes, dueling, understanding ancient magic, quidditch.

Strengths: translating runes, dueling, non-verbal/subtle magic, flying, dark magic.
Weaknesses: astronomy, muggle studies, reckless, doesn't listen to others.

Extra: her wand prefers non-verbal magic and quiet spells. she is scared of gaining weight and has very small plates of food. she doesn't want people to know her magical ability so she tends to hold back in class, especially when dueling. she cannot stand rodents and actively freaks out when she sees them. loud and obnoxious spells or wands bother her to no end. she drinks bourbon at parties. she made seeker in her first year. she bullies the quidditch captain.

Favorite Professor: bathsheba babbling.
Least Favorite Professor: charity burbage.
Favorite Class: Potions.
Least Favorite Class: astronomy.
Favorite Spell: muffliato. she often uses this while the quidditch team is discussing game strategies.
Best Parties: Gryffindor of course.
Favorite Trolley Snack: cauldron cakes. she will only have one of these out of fear she will gain weight.
Quidditch Cup: naturally she plans on having gryffindor win, she is the seeker of the team after all.
Nosy Niffler: she occasionally reads this but only when she knows she's mentioned in it.

Vices:
Perfectionist | getting things right the first time is something she ainslee strives for, especially since she is not only compensating for her blood status but also the competition within the school itself. because of those factors, she is very tough on herself and doesn't like it when she doesn't live up to her own expectations.

Competitive | the school itself is quite competitive and therefore it's caused her own competitive side to come out more. it's only in certain classes that this appears. within the magical creatures or charms classes, ainslee is always the first one to raise her hand and answer the question or be brave enough to interact with a rather dangerous looking creature. she wants to be the best in her field and she will do almost anything to get to that point.

Sensitive | it's easy to hurt her feelings as she practically wears her heart on her sleeve, even though she wishes she didn't. she often finds herself getting upset by those who torment her and if she gets a poor grade on an assignment. things weigh heavily on her heart and sometimes, whether she likes it or not, her heart will rule and she cannot hold those emotions back.

Antisocial | socializing with anyone in her house is practically out of the question. she knows it's safer to mingle with those outside of Slytherin, but she also doesn't trust those around her, especially since nobody seems to truly stand up for her (that she knows of). so she has taken it upon herself to create a barrier between her and the rest of the students, her circle of friends being quite small and almost unnoticeable.

Virtues:
Kind | here.

Protective | here.

Ambitious | here.

Determined | here.

Opinions on Death Eaters: "they are a bunch of brutes that enjoy bullying those weaker than them. i don't think there's anything positive i can say about them. i have yet to meet a death eater that has been kind or that would like to step out of that world and do what's right. i think blood mania has a lot to do with death eaters which is terrifying for someone like me."

Opinions on Blood Purity: "it's bloody awful and can ruin a person. ever since the students found out that i was a muggle-born, the amount of harassment and bullying i received from my own housemates was shocking. i don't understand why there is such stigma against those who aren't pure-bloods and i feel like it's completely unfair. anyone can be gifted in magic, it's all dependent on what's in your heart and how hard you're willing to work at it. your blood has nothing to do with it."

Thoughts on the upcoming War: "A war is something I don't want to experience. Losing loved ones, friends, teachers, I don't want any of it. I would like to sit here and pretend that there isn't a war brewing but that would be a lie. I know the war is unavoidable at this point but i couldn't help but wonder if there was a time that this could've all been prevented."

Thoughts on the Chosen One: "It must be stressful to have the future of the world resting on your shoulders. i don't envy them, but i do hope that i can help them if they need it."

Vices:
Aggressive | While fighting isn't something he enjoys doing, he has a very aggressive attitude. He is quick to get in your face if he's set off and doesn't cool off quickly. His words rival those of the Blacks and he is often left alone because of this.

Moody | Often grumpy, he is known for his mood swings which ultimately caused him to have a reputation for being unpredictable. Due to the fact he doesn't sleep very much, he has issues staying in a good mood and snaps easily. He will pout almost instantly when he gets something wrong and he doesn't do well when he isn't the best.

Manipulative | Due to the fact he is very unmotivated and has little interest in doing things for himself (is treated like royalty most of the time), he has developed the skill of getting others to do things for him. Whether it's through blackmail, flirting, or loose promises, he will use his wit and smooth words to get whatever he wants.

Grudge-holder | He doesn't let things go, ever. Eat his favorite snack when you were kids? He still remembers it. His memory has caused him to be one of the most stubborn people and he refuses to let go of his grudges, often using them for leverage in order to get the things he wants.

Proud | pride is something that he cannot shake and it's something he did indeed inherit from his parents. jean will not lower himself to the point of asking for help and he will never admit that he isn't perfect at something. he has a hard time admitting any mistakes and definitely cannot handle if someone makes jabs at his character, his pride being rather sensitive and easily wounded, causing him to lash out.

Virtues:
Originality | Being original has been something that has always been very important to him. He isn't someone that follows trends or does what everyone else does, he creates his own path and follows it without hesitation. This is very important as he creates his own spells and curses.

Memory | Gifted with a photographic memory, it's no surprise that he has developed an amazing memory over time. Even when it comes to auditory things, he has trained himself to remember very specific details about whatever he's heard that might come in handy in the future. This helps him a lot during lectures when he takes notes for his brother.

Creative | Coming up with original magic and skills is difficult, but ultimately shows how truly creative someone is. While he isn't gifted in the artist aspect of things, he does have a very vibrant mind that comes up with the most interesting things.

Loyal | the loyalty he has is akin to those who occupy Gryffindor house, and he often finds himself standing up for those he considers friends even if he doesn't want them to know about it. he is private about his loyalty because he doesn't want it to be considered a weakness, but he is someone that values the word of those he's close to and will defend them until the end.

Courageous | leaping into battle or jumping to someone's defense, jean does these things without thinking about it. this was a trait that caused the hat to stall once placed upon the young wizard's head as it is something that fills up his entire being as he wants to do whatever he can to be there for those he needs to. he doesn't worry about how he will fare, as long as his loved ones are alright or he did what needed to be done, he will push through his fears and do whatever it takes.

Opinions on Death Eaters: "Death Eaters? I don't really have a problem with them. They are kind of annoying because they think they are some great and powerful witches and wizards, but really they are pretty average. I personally don't want to become one, but I do understand why people would want to join them. There's power in numbers, especially in a war centered around blood purity."

Opinions on Blood Purity: "What's there to say? There's obviously evidence that purebloods have a better chance of producing powerful magic and they certainly have a better chance of developing a successful career. I'm not saying that half-bloods or muggle-borns aren't talented, but they generally struggle more and have a hard time actually being good at more than one thing. So honestly, I support purity, just not the violent harassment."

Thoughts on the Upcoming War: "This war is just a drag. Everyone is always talking about it as if there's nothing else to talk about. Honestly, it's just getting on my nerves. Wars happen all the time, just look in your Muggle Studies book. This particular war will be life-changing, sure, but why is anyone surprised by it? I am very bored by it and I think it's unfair that we have to sit through Dumbledore's speech about how we are the deciding factor in it and all of that rubbish. It's pointless."

Thoughts on the Chosen One: "A Chosen One sounds like a nickname for an animal you're raising for slaughter. I feel like while they are important, they aren't a special witch or wizard. They just happen to be the only one that Voldemort can't kill."

Family:
Marlene McKinnon | Mother | Deceased
Jean wasn't old enough to remember the time spent with his mother which is something that depresses him greatly. Despite this, he is well aware of the fact that he was loved unconditionally by her and she protected him with her life. He wishes that he was able to remember her or at least was able to be with her long enough to form lasting memories. Through her various journals and stories spread around the school, he is very familiar with what Marlene was like and is bothered by the fact he may be disappointing her with the way he acts.

Sirius Black | Father | Alive
Like Marlene, Jean wasn't old enough to remember Sirius and was even unsure that he was his father until recently. The Rosier family disapproved of Sirius and said that he was the reason for Marlene's death and for essentially orphaning Jean. This caused the wizard to hold a very dangerous grudge towards his father, which almost prompted him to do something very unspeakable when they met for the first time since he was a small child. It was in Jean's sixth year and while he didn't trust Sirius at first, he still helped the man escape the authorities with the help of Remus Lupin. They now are starting to form a relationship with each other.

Iris Rosier | Cousin | Alive
A very cold dark witch, Jean never enjoyed her company but also hated to disappoint her. She was extremely powerful and while she wasn't a Rosier by blood, she certainly is the reason the family itself is still so reputable in Britain. She was always strict when it came to Jean and was the one who locked the boy up inside the house and stated he was far too sickly to do anything other than reading books and learn all he could about all manner of magic. She views him as a son in some way, so the pressure is always there when he is at home.

Julien Rosier | Cousin | Alive
The cousin of Marlene and one of the reasons that Jean is still alive. He is warmer than his wife and far less cutthroat but he doesn't often share those sides of himself with Jean. Since the boy resembles his parents so much, Julien often keeps his distance, knowing very well that Jean's personality is similar to Sirius' but more twisted due to the influence of Iris. They have a tense relationship that Jean doesn't care to fix.

Aimee Rosier | Cousin | Alive
His childhood bully, Aimee never liked Jean and made that very apparent from the beginning. While she's an extraordinary witch herself, being head girl of ravenclaw and winning basically every award known to wizardkind, she found jean to be something like a bug and constantly would ruin whatever he was working on. if she saw him working in books she would hide them all immediately or she would cause his potions to blow up. she doesn't know why she dislikes him so much, but he simply makes her skin crawl.

Noel Rosier | Cousin | Alive
noel is the closest to jean in age, being two years older than him. he didn't dislike him as much as aimee but he was jealous of the time he spent with iris, feeling like she favored him over her own son which angered him. he never did take this out on his cousin, but rather on his mother. noel helped him learn non-verbal magic and how to do it in school without getting caught. ultimately he led to jean's troublemaking ways.

Background: "the boy has got the devil in his soul"
Marlene McKinnon was a witch beyond her years in terms of magic. An auror of incredible abilities, she was one of the brightest stars that came from Hogwarts. Sorted into Gryffindor, she was best friends with James Potter and made it known that she would be one of the more outspoken students. Her reputation spread like wildfire, the dirty blonde getting into trouble and doing things that nobody else would do, such as be a seeker in her first year of school. She was popular, beloved by everyone that befriended her, and feared by those who hurt her friends. She was the face of gyrffindor and showed the true colors of the house and the morals. despite her very flighty romantic history, she was someone who had a lot of love to give to those around her. except when it came to sirius black.

sirius black, a wild troublemaker and part of the marauders, he knew how to make marlene's skin crawl and get her worked up over seemingly nothing. he was the first of all the blacks to be sorted into Gryffindor and he wore the crest with pride. he landed himself in detention more times than he could count and was often getting into fights just to stick up for james or remus. however, he found that it was easier to be himself around marlene and eventually he opened up to her, after he ran away from home that is. she had been staying at the potter's when sirius knocked on the door, drenched from the rain. when she saw him, her icy exterior that was always there when he was around, melted instantly and she found herself hugging the boy, not even bothering to ask what had happened.

from that moment on, marlene and sirius became close and soon enough they were sneaking around and dating. they skipped classes, lied to their friends, did whatever they could to spend time together. neither family approved of their relationship, even regulus would make snide comments about it despite being friends with marlene himself. even the girl's parents hated the fact they were together, yelling at marlene for getting involved with a black and that it would only lead to her own destruction. however, the pair stayed together, despite the fair share of breakups they had. they had something that was unknown to both of them and they were desperate to keep it alive. their world changed towards the end of their seventh year when marlene told sirius that she was pregnant. it was terrifying for the couple as they knew such news could mean marlene would be disowned as well.

immediately upon graduating, sirius went to work, as did marlene, hiding her pregnancy for as long as possible. the two of them made enough money to rent a flat. it was then that marlene grew tired of living paycheck to paycheck and confided in her mother, explaining the situation. a deal was struck between the mckinnon household and sirius black that very night. they agreed that the pair would get married and they would live somewhere protected, far from the war so they could raise their child in peace. this was when her mother presented the young couple with a house in the highlands, high up on a cliff, the ocean raging below. it was secluded but nothing had felt more like home to the pair. they settled there nicely and had their first and only child, jean arcturus black.

while his childhood with marlene and sirius was short, it was filled with every ounce of love that was in the universe. his parents were both working for the order, marlene having established herself as a prominent auror with a very promising career. they lived each day as if it was their last, keeping the flames of their love alive and their son protected from those who would harm him. eventually, their time together came to an end when marlene publically announced her alliance with the order of the phoenix. two weeks passed since her announcement and she knew that her life was in danger but she still decided to take a risk. her youngest brother had been murdered and the family was holding a funeral at the mckinnon estate, so naturally, she went, taking her two-year-old son with her.

while there, death eaters and Voldemort himself showed up and attacked, killing every mckinnon before they could leave. it was terrifying and with her child bundled up in her arms, marlene did everything in her power to fight back and eventually she was struck as she disapparated from the house to her own home. the curse worked its way slowly through her body, filling her with unimaginable pain, but still, she managed to tuck her son into bed, whispering a soft spell to help him sleep. the life was slowly drained out of her and she attempted to write a letter to her husband, apologizing for everything and telling him she loved him. however, the blood-stained paper was only half-finished by the time she drew her final breath.

sirius was the first to arrive at the scene, having left the mckinnon's when he saw it was up in flames. he found his wife's body slumped on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding her delicate frame, their son sleeping soundly despite the soft wheezing coming from him. sirius crumbled and screamed loudly, violent sobs ripping out of his chest as he clung to her body, calling out her name repeatedly, brushing back her darkened hair, trying to find any sign of life inside of her. it had taken both james and remus to pry him off of marlene's body so that they could give her a proper burial. she was buried at her favorite spot near the ocean underneath a large singular tree, reminding sirius of the precious time they spent together.

days after her funeral, sirius disappeared with jean in his arms and tracked down the only living relatives of marlene. the rosiers. when sirius located julien rosier, he explained to the man that marlene had been murdered and that jean would be next. it took some convincing before julien agreed to take in jean, but not before sirius made the man make the unbreakable vow, ensuring his son's safety. leaving behind only a kiss on the forehead and marlene's necklace, sirius black disappeared. it was months later when the potters were murdered, that sirius was finally found and tried for betraying the order and for murdering peter Pettigrew. he was sentenced to azkaban where he lived in pain and insanity.

Iris and Julien became surrogate parents to the boy but quickly changed his surname to mckinnon, not wanting there to be any link between him and sirius black. he was raised in a cold household that was based off rules and tough love. while abuse and punishments were uncommon in the rosier home, there was a lot of pressure and expectations placed upon jean's shoulders at a young age. from the beginning, it was clear he was sickly due to the events that occurred during the massacre. because of this, he was locked indoors and forced to study constantly, only admiring the outside world through the tinted windows. as he began to develop magical abilities, iris took it upon herself to teach the boy how to use dark magic as well, wanting him to follow in the family's footsteps as his parents were 'far too good for no reason'.

when he hit the age of 11 and went to get his first wand, jean was rather sad as he felt like he was going to be different from everyone in the school because his own 'family' was so odd. upon entering the wand shop, it was clear that his wand was the only one that could match the intelligence and scope of his magical abilities. when the dark-colored wand was grasped in his pale hand, he felt a jolt that spread like wildfire, making the hair on the back of his neck stand up. it was exhilarating. from that moment on, jean felt far more connected to the wizarding world and suddenly, the school didn't seem so intimidating. well, at least until he had the sorting hat placed upon his head.

the old hat had settled on top of the then blonde hair, it couldn't help but stall, unable to decide what to do with the boy. The words Gryffindor passed it's wrinkled fabric and Jean couldn't help but grow pale. from the rosiers he heard that nothing good came out of Gryffindors, especially since both of his parents were from that house and one died while the was imprisoned for murder. jean and the hat seemed to fight for a sheer ten minutes, the boy practically begging to be placed in ravenclaw out of fear of what would happen to him if he was indeed placed in Gryffindor. the hat seemed to sense the fear in the boy and loudly announced that he belonged in ravenclaw. it was something small but it helped him fit in better with the family. this was also what caused the boy to try and change his entire personality and make it so he wouldn't be compared to those in Gryffindor ever again.

jean quickly became known as the curser of ravenclaw, messing around the dark or inside the shrieking shack, trying to pass the time. however, Dumbledore soon caught on and decided that the boy would become a prefect in order to avoid further interest in dark magic. while it was shocking, it did allow jean to learn all sorts of gossip that was circulating around the school and helped him find the hidden passageways throughout the old school and where they would ultimately lead. now in his sixth year he has a reputation for troublemaking and plans to keep it that way.

Face Claim: joland novaj.

Description: Despite the fact he stands at a very average height, his thin and willowy frame causes him to appear quite tall and imposing. In his earlier years of school, he sported dirty blonde hair which was kept quite short, but as he got older he began to grow it out and the color started to darken, taking on the shade similar to his mother. He now has chestnut-colored hair that is quite curly and reaches his shoulders. Surprisingly he has gentle features, hazel colored downturned eyes, and soft lips. Like his father, he has a very defined jawline, high cheekbones, and very prominent collarbones. It's no secret that he is attractive, but it's mostly because of how mysterious and odd he is.

In terms of fashion, he is quite lazy and doesn't put much effort into it. His tie is always loose and he is slightly unkempt, almost as if he's woken up late every day. He doesn't like dressing up and refuses to pull his hair back, despite the constant complaining from his cousins. A smile is very rare to see and he often is seen with a brooding expression or glare on his features. He has multiple ear piercings and actually wears them quite often, even though people question it. one thing that never changes about jean's appearance is the delicate gold necklace he wears, the pendant being a small star with a rare gem in the center of it. when in moonlight, this gem sparkles and displays a beautiful range of colors.

Family:
Marlene McKinnon | Mother | Deceased
Jean wasn't old enough to remember the time spent with his mother which is something that depresses him greatly. Despite this, he is well aware of the fact that he was loved unconditionally by her and she protected him with her life. He wishes that he was able to remember her or at least was able to be with her long enough to form lasting memories. Through her various journals and stories spread around the school, he is very familiar with what Marlene was like and is bothered by the fact he may be disappointing her with the way he acts.

Sirius Black | Father | Alive
Like Marlene, Jean wasn't old enough to remember Sirius and was even unsure that he was his father until recently. The Rosier family disapproved of Sirius and said that he was the reason for Marlene's death and for essentially orphaning Jean. This caused the wizard to hold a very dangerous grudge towards his father, which almost prompted him to do something very unspeakable when they met for the first time since he was a small child. It was in Jean's sixth year and while he didn't trust Sirius at first, he still helped the man escape the authorities with the help of Remus Lupin. They now are starting to form a relationship with each other.

Iris Rosier | Cousin | Alive
A very cold dark witch, Jean never enjoyed her company but also hated to disappoint her. She was extremely powerful and while she wasn't a Rosier by blood, she certainly is the reason the family itself is still so reputable in Britain. She was always strict when it came to Jean and was the one who locked the boy up inside the house and stated he was far too sickly to do anything other than reading books and learn all he could about all manner of magic. She views him as a son in some way, so the pressure is always there when he is at home.

Julien Rosier | Cousin | Alive
The cousin of Marlene and one of the reasons that Jean is still alive. He is warmer than his wife and far less cutthroat but he doesn't often share those sides of himself with Jean. Since the boy resembles his parents so much, Julien often keeps his distance, knowing very well that Jean's personality is similar to Sirius' but more twisted due to the influence of Iris. They have a tense relationship that Jean doesn't care to fix.

Aimee Rosier | Cousin | Alive
His childhood bully, Aimee never liked Jean and made that very apparent from the beginning. While she's an extraordinary witch herself, being head girl of ravenclaw and winning basically every award known to wizardkind, she found jean to be something like a bug and constantly would ruin whatever he was working on. if she saw him working in books she would hide them all immediately or she would cause his potions to blow up. she doesn't know why she dislikes him so much, but he simply makes her skin crawl.

Noel Rosier | Cousin | Alive
noel is the closest to jean in age, being two years older than him. he didn't dislike him as much as aimee but he was jealous of the time he spent with iris, feeling like she favored him over her own son which angered him. he never did take this out on his cousin, but rather on his mother. noel helped him learn non-verbal magic and how to do it in school without getting caught. ultimately he led to jean's troublemaking ways.

Background: "the boy has got the devil in his soul"
Marlene McKinnon was a witch beyond her years in terms of magic. An auror of incredible abilities, she was one of the brightest stars that came from Hogwarts. Sorted into Gryffindor, she was best friends with James Potter and made it known that she would be one of the more outspoken students. Her reputation spread like wildfire, the dirty blonde getting into trouble and doing things that nobody else would do, such as be a seeker in her first year of school. She was popular, beloved by everyone that befriended her, and feared by those who hurt her friends. She was the face of gyrffindor and showed the true colors of the house and the morals. despite her very flighty romantic history, she was someone who had a lot of love to give to those around her. except when it came to sirius black.

sirius black, a wild troublemaker and part of the marauders, he knew how to make marlene's skin crawl and get her worked up over seemingly nothing. he was the first of all the blacks to be sorted into Gryffindor and he wore the crest with pride. he landed himself in detention more times than he could count and was often getting into fights just to stick up for james or remus. however, he found that it was easier to be himself around marlene and eventually he opened up to her, after he ran away from home that is. she had been staying at the potter's when sirius knocked on the door, drenched from the rain. when she saw him, her icy exterior that was always there when he was around, melted instantly and she found herself hugging the boy, not even bothering to ask what had happened.

from that moment on, marlene and sirius became close and soon enough they were sneaking around and dating. they skipped classes, lied to their friends, did whatever they could to spend time together. neither family approved of their relationship, even regulus would make snide comments about it despite being friends with marlene himself. even the girl's parents hated the fact they were together, yelling at marlene for getting involved with a black and that it would only lead to her own destruction. however, the pair stayed together, despite the fair share of breakups they had. they had something that was unknown to both of them and they were desperate to keep it alive. their world changed towards the end of their seventh year when marlene told sirius that she was pregnant. it was terrifying for the couple as they knew such news could mean marlene would be disowned as well.

immediately upon graduating, sirius went to work, as did marlene, hiding her pregnancy for as long as possible. the two of them made enough money to rent a flat. it was then that marlene grew tired of living paycheck to paycheck and confided in her mother, explaining the situation. a deal was struck between the mckinnon household and sirius black that very night. they agreed that the pair would get married and they would live somewhere protected, far from the war so they could raise their child in peace. this was when her mother presented the young couple with a house in the highlands, high up on a cliff, the ocean raging below. it was secluded but nothing had felt more like home to the pair. they settled there nicely and had their first and only child, jean arcturus black.

while his childhood with marlene and sirius was short, it was filled with every ounce of love that was in the universe. his parents were both working for the order, marlene having established herself as a prominent auror with a very promising career. they lived each day as if it was their last, keeping the flames of their love alive and their son protected from those who would harm him. eventually, their time together came to an end when marlene publically announced her alliance with the order of the phoenix. two weeks passed since her announcement and she knew that her life was in danger but she still decided to take a risk. her youngest brother had been murdered and the family was holding a funeral at the mckinnon estate, so naturally, she went, taking her two-year-old son with her.

while there, death eaters and Voldemort himself showed up and attacked, killing every mckinnon before they could leave. it was terrifying and with her child bundled up in her arms, marlene did everything in her power to fight back and eventually she was struck as she disapparated from the house to her own home. the curse worked its way slowly through her body, filling her with unimaginable pain, but still, she managed to tuck her son into bed, whispering a soft spell to help him sleep. the life was slowly drained out of her and she attempted to write a letter to her husband, apologizing for everything and telling him she loved him. however, the blood-stained paper was only half-finished by the time she drew her final breath.

sirius was the first to arrive at the scene, having left the mckinnon's when he saw it was up in flames. he found his wife's body slumped on the ground, a pool of blood surrounding her delicate frame, their son sleeping soundly despite the soft wheezing coming from him. sirius crumbled and screamed loudly, violent sobs ripping out of his chest as he clung to her body, calling out her name repeatedly, brushing back her darkened hair, trying to find any sign of life inside of her. it had taken both james and remus to pry him off of marlene's body so that they could give her a proper burial. she was buried at her favorite spot near the ocean underneath a large singular tree, reminding sirius of the precious time they spent together.

days after her funeral, sirius disappeared with jean in his arms and tracked down the only living relatives of marlene. the rosiers. when sirius located julien rosier, he explained to the man that marlene had been murdered and that jean would be next. it took some convincing before julien agreed to take in jean, but not before sirius made the man make the unbreakable vow, ensuring his son's safety. leaving behind only a kiss on the forehead and marlene's necklace, sirius black disappeared. it was months later when the potters were murdered, that sirius was finally found and tried for betraying the order and for murdering peter Pettigrew. he was sentenced to azkaban where he lived in pain and insanity.

Iris and Julien became surrogate parents to the boy but quickly changed his surname to mckinnon, not wanting there to be any link between him and sirius black. he was raised in a cold household that was based off rules and tough love. while abuse and punishments were uncommon in the rosier home, there was a lot of pressure and expectations placed upon jean's shoulders at a young age. from the beginning, it was clear he was sickly due to the events that occurred during the massacre. because of this, he was locked indoors and forced to study constantly, only admiring the outside world through the tinted windows. as he began to develop magical abilities, iris took it upon herself to teach the boy how to use dark magic as well, wanting him to follow in the family's footsteps as his parents were 'far too good for no reason'.

when he hit the age of 11 and went to get his first wand, jean was rather sad as he felt like he was going to be different from everyone in the school because his own 'family' was so odd. upon entering the wand shop, it was clear that his wand was the only one that could match the intelligence and scope of his magical abilities. when the dark-colored wand was grasped in his pale hand, he felt a jolt that spread like wildfire, making the hair on the back of his neck stand up. it was exhilarating. from that moment on, jean felt far more connected to the wizarding world and suddenly, the school didn't seem so intimidating. well, at least until he had the sorting hat placed upon his head.

the old hat had settled on top of the then blonde hair, it couldn't help but stall, unable to decide what to do with the boy. The words Gryffindor passed it's wrinkled fabric and Jean couldn't help but grow pale. from the rosiers he heard that nothing good came out of Gryffindors, especially since both of his parents were from that house and one died while the was imprisoned for murder. jean and the hat seemed to fight for a sheer ten minutes, the boy practically begging to be placed in ravenclaw out of fear of what would happen to him if he was indeed placed in Gryffindor. the hat seemed to sense the fear in the boy and loudly announced that he belonged in ravenclaw. it was something small but it helped him fit in better with the family. this was also what caused the boy to try and change his entire personality and make it so he wouldn't be compared to those in Gryffindor ever again.

jean quickly became known as the curser of ravenclaw, messing around the dark or inside the shrieking shack, trying to pass the time. however, Dumbledore soon caught on and decided that the boy would become a prefect in order to avoid further interest in dark magic. while it was shocking, it did allow jean to learn all sorts of gossip that was circulating around the school and helped him find the hidden passageways throughout the old school and where they would ultimately lead. now in his sixth year he has a reputation for troublemaking and plans to keep it that way.

Face Claim: joland novaj.

Description: Despite the fact he stands at a very average height, his thin and willowy frame causes him to appear quite tall and imposing. In his earlier years of school, he sported dirty blonde hair which was kept quite short, but as he got older he began to grow it out and the color started to darken, taking on the shade similar to his mother. He now has chestnut-colored hair that is quite curly and reaches his shoulders. Surprisingly he has gentle features, hazel colored downturned eyes, and soft lips. Like his father, he has a very defined jawline, high cheekbones, and very prominent collarbones. It's no secret that he is attractive, but it's mostly because of how mysterious and odd he is.

In terms of fashion, he is quite lazy and doesn't put much effort into it. His tie is always loose and he is slightly unkempt, almost as if he's woken up late every day. He doesn't like dressing up and refuses to pull his hair back, despite the constant complaining from his cousins. A smile is very rare to see and he often is seen with a brooding expression or glare on his features. He has multiple ear piercings and actually wears them quite often, even though people question it. one thing that never changes about jean's appearance is the delicate gold necklace he wears, the pendant being a small star with a rare gem in the center of it. when in moonlight, this gem sparkles and displays a beautiful range of colors.
