alias: Cassie age: 23 time zone: EST why this character: I love Andromeda so much. Even though her family was so quick to toss her aside she still did what she believed was right and followed her heart. past experience in roleplay: I’ve been roleplaying for nine years and been in multiple Tumblr roleplays, most of which were HPRP. activity level: 7/10.

in character information

character’s full name: Andromeda Black Tonks preferred face claim: Phoebe Tonkin date of birth: 23.07.1955 skills: Magical wise Andromeda’s best subjects were defense against the dark arts and charms, though she was capable of passing every class she took. She always expected to go far in life due to her education and how easy magic came to her, but life had other plans. She’s an excellent painter, whether it’s normal paintings or charmed ones for a wizard’s pleasure, having learned the art at a young age. occupation: Since Nymphadora is entirely too much work Andromeda is a stay at home mother that sells her own paintings to add to whatever income Ted brings to the table. on war: If Andromeda hadn’t fallen in love and her supremacy mindset hadn’t faltered she’d have joined her family on the Dark Lord’s side, but having realized just how nonsensical their ideals are she swayed. She doesn’t see muggles as beneath her, she sees them as people. She doesn’t care for the war and that’s mostly her daughter’s fault. All Andie wants is for it to be over so she can raise her little girl in peace. boggart: Nymphadora’s dead body lying next to Ted’s. amortentia: Nymphadora — More specifically, the top of her head when she was a newborn. There’s a scent that comes off newborns and somehow a bond between mother and child form due to this scent. Andie could never forget that scent. Hyacinths — They were the first flowers Ted had ever given her. Actually, they were the first flowers she ever received from a male. They were not only beautiful, the aroma filled the room quite nicely. Paint — In a house like the one she grew up in Andromeda needed an outlet to keep sane. What she ended up taking on was piano and painting, though the musical instrument was played on occasion she often found herself with a paintbrush in hand more so than often. It manages to calm her. patronus: Wolf — Wolf people tend to revere individualism, but retain a predominant sense of family. Wolf as a totem represents all aspects of sociability, and the need for variety (in eternal and external affairs) to remain healthy. Wolf is a strong symbol of loyalty and patience. Wolf medicine is deeply rooted in the importance of learning through teaching, new ideas, freedom of mind and body, and responsibility for self and others. Andromeda was incapable of casting a successful patronus until the birth of her daughter. important connections: Sirius Black — After being shunned from all things Black related Andromeda was depressed. She lost her entire family and became an outcast, but there was one person who didn’t shut her out. Sirius is the only family member she has left and she adores her little cousin. His pranks, however, she does not enjoy. Bellatrix and Narcissa — Being her sisters Andromeda loved Bella and Cissa, but she did believe they followed the wrong path. Upon giving birth to Nymphadora she wanted her family to know and accept her daughter, but she also felt the need to protect her against them. She does still long for a familial connection with the two, mainly Narcissa seeing as they were closer, but she doesn’t expect much from them. Ted Tonks — As cliche as this love story might seem, Ted was the one person that changed her from the cold hearted, prejudiced girl she once was. He taught her what love truly meant and how it should feel. If she had a chance to go back and change anything to her benefit she’d do it all again, leave the Black household for the man of her dreams. At first, she didn’t exactly take to him, she hated him, in fact, but after finally giving him the benefit of the doubt she fell hard. Nymphadora Tonks — Although she’s a NPC she is highly important to Andromeda and deserved a mention. Being a full time mother and occasional painter there’s only one job she’s wholly proud of - motherhood. Nymphadora is all that’s right with the world in Andie’s eyes and she loves her daughter more than life itself. She’s do anything for her. Anything.

biography & other headcanons

Even at birth, Andromeda was a family disappointment. She was born to Druella and Cygnus Black who were hoping to have a son after giving birth to their first daughter. They wanted their notorious name to live on and that was impossible if all they were burdened with were girls. The only child that didn’t seem affected by the anger and regret was the youngest daughter – Narcissa.

Just like everyone else, Andromeda was drawn so quickly into Narcissa that she had even taken on some more maternal duties as they aged. While she painted, while she taught herself musical instruments, even while she slept; there was her younger sister. She was by her side damn near 24/7 up until the ripe age of eleven, parting ways only to further her education and learn more about the subject of life. It was a miserable experience, at first, but eventually she grew fond of the puzzling corridors and would rather spend her days in the castle rather than her parent’s estate with a paint brush in hand. Narcissa received a letter everyday, though. It was necessary that her younger sister knew she was missed and loved.

As years flew by, Andromeda and Bellatrix’s relationship only grew more strained as they struggled for their parent’s approval, always trying to do better than the other when the youngest needn’t lift a finger. The only thing that so easily tore the two apart was another person getting in the way of their strange sisterly bond.

Edward Tonks was indescribable. A deep hatred lingered in Andromeda’s once supremacist mind. She wanted nothing to do with him and made it abundantly clear, but eventually his charm had gotten the better of her. Years would go by and she’d still recall how tender he was and that look in his eyes that sent shivers down her spine, almost convinced she was under some kind of charm. It was through Ted that she came to realize the world isn’t so black and white. Muggles were humans, not the devil. Her parents were wrong.

For a while, the two teens had a secret affair behind her parent’s back. She had never smiled so much. Unfortunately, in the Black household happiness never lasts. Bellatrix found out about the romance and told her parents. Andromeda was to stop seeing Ted immediately. She didn’t. She kept on. She saw him everyday and twice on Sunday, this time she didn’t bother hiding it. That ultimately led to her being thrown out of her own home and treated like she was just another one of their house elves.

alias: Cassie age: 23 time zone: EST why this character: Lily is my all time favorite character to play. In every Marauder Era roleplay I’ve joined I play Lily because she’s the one character I truly connect with. I just have so much passion for her. past experience in roleplay: I’ve been roleplaying for nine years and been in multiple Tumblr roleplays, most of which were HPRP. activity level: 7/10.

in character information

character’s full name: Lily Jane Evans preferred face claim: Kat McNamara date of birth: 30.01.1960 skills: Lily’s favorite subjects were healing, potions, and transfiguration but she aced most of them. The one class she couldn’t seem to wrap her head around was Arithmancy, taking it multiple times before finally passing it. occupation: A healer, but also helps with the Weasley clan when in need of a nanny. on war: Like most young women her age Lily simply wanted a normal life, but the towering threat only foiled those plans. She wants to do what’s right and bring this war to an end to make it possible for the younger generations to have that peaceful family life she dreamed of. Also knowing how it feels to be stuck between two worlds, Lily wants to end this war for muggleborns like her who are torn. boggart: Petunia shouting absurdities at her, mostly the word freak. amortentia: Flowers, specifically the ones from her mother’s garden — Growing up Lily spent a great deal of time in her mother’s garden watching then eventually helping. Pages of books — Due to her issues regarding her older sister whenever Lily was home her face was buried in a book. She loved all types of genres; whether they were muggle novels or wizard tales. Books were her escape. Vanilla — Primrose made her own candles that she often lit around the house and it left the entire place smelling like vanilla. Later on, sometime during seventh year another scent made an appearance whenever she mixed the potion. James Shampoo — She denied it vigorously, but that scent was the first sign of her feelings shifting for the male lion. It took her months to even admit it was a scent that accompanied her amortentia. patronus: Doe — Compassion, regeneration, sensitivity. Emotionally sensitive, deer people tend to be quiet, gentle, empathic, spiritually well-attuned. Deer medicine teaches people to fully open themselves to the world, physically and emotionally. From this, they gain incredible power and experience, but gives themselves a balancing weakness, the chance of being hurt, at the same time. important connections: James Potter — The relationship between James and Lily was complicated, at first. Potter was a notorious bully and the fiery ginger was opposed to his immature antics. Eventually, after noticing certain changes within him she began developing feelings that leaned in a more romantic sense. Now, he’s become an important person to her regardless of her past disdain for him. Marlene McKinnon and Dorcas Meadowes — Although Marlene had been her closest friend since that first bus ride to Hogwarts, Doe became equally as important during their fifth year. Lily is barely ever without either girl, often spending time in one of their flats since leaving the castle. They both played a part in bringing Lily out of her shell, she’s no longer the schoolgirl that wouldn’t bend a rule in the slightest. They taught her the fun behind mischief. Doe’s also the reason why Lily actually swears now. Molly and Arthur Weasley — The Weasley clan are more like family members than friends. She helps to take care of them and vice versa. When Arthur and Molly asked her to watch after the kids she didn’t even bother to think it over nor did she ask for any compensation. Molly teaches her how to sew as well as new recipes and Arthur accompanies her when she goes shopping in the muggle world. She tends to buy him junk that Molly doesn’t always approve of. Sirius Black — The relationship between Sirius and Lily is of the love/hate variety. They’re both stubborn and often butt heads due to that, but at the end of the day they both truly care for each other.

biography & other headcanons

Growing up in the Evans household little Lily hadn’t a care in the world. She was happy and the world was her oyster. Throughout her childhood it was her and Petunia against the world. She adored her older sister and Petunia loved the praise the youngest Evans showered her in. Magic and wizards were stuff from fairytales and didn’t exist. It wasn’t until one day, while she played with her older sister Petunia, that she discovered her powers.

Out of excitement she went to show her one true idol only to get shot down and called a freak - the nickname lasted long after the incident and scarred the child pretty deeply. At the ripe age of nine Lily met someone similar to her that taught her about the wizarding world and all of it’s wonders. Petunia, however, did not approve of Severus because he came from a poor family. He was the last straw that severed the sister’s once close relationship. Primrose and William Evans, and Lily’s aunt Iris, were happy for their little girl and took pride in her being a witch. By age eleven she knew she had their full support long before leaving to Hogwarts.

Years as a Hogwarts student worked out well for Lily Evans; she easily gained friends due to her caring nature and was accepted by her peers. After only one bus ride she was practically attached to Marlene McKinnon’s hip for the entire seven year stay at the castle. She was sorted into Gryffindor being as brave as she was and took pride in her House. Classes were also a piece of cake to the intelligent young female; excelling in potions, healing, and transfiguration with little effort on her part. It was no surprise when she was invited into the Slug Club and became Professor Slughorn’s personal favorite. Every time she returned home and felt her and Petunia drifting further and further apart broke her heart, but stepping into the large corridors made her feel like she belonged and nothing could ruin it - or so she thought.

One thing she did not tolerate was bullies. During her fifth year, after rescuing Snape from one of James and the Marauders’ many pranks he threw the term Mudblood in her direction and, as sensitive as she was, she quickly ended the relationship. There were days of moping around having lost another person who meant a great deal to her, but then someone came along and helped her friends snap her out of it. They soon went from an occasional study buddy and became a dear friend; Dorcas Meadowes.

If anyone had told Lily Evans even two years ago that she would fancy James Potter she would have cursed them backwards and forwards, and kicked them in the shins for good measure. However, that is exactly what happened. It wasn’t until their seventh year that she realized how vastly he had changed. James is turning out to be a fairly important person to her, but she is determined that she will always be more than someone’s love interest. She’s trying to balance her relationship, keep up with her friendships from school, and working for the first time in her life all while the growing tension of the war comes closer and closer. When the time comes, she’ll fight for the right side, but how many sacrifices will that take?

age: Twenty

time zone: EST/GMT-5

why this character: I have been roleplaying Dorcas for the better part of twelve years. She’s become my little baby and I’m way too excited to have her here. <3 She’s always so unique and great.

past experience in roleplay: Roleplaying for twelve years. Four on Tumblr!

activity level: I’m a strong eight. I’m currently living with my parents to finish out the first trimester of my pregnancy, and my fiance works all the time. So, I’m literally always able to be on. AND DORCAS MEADOWES IS BAE.

in character information

character’s full name: Dorcas Rose Meadowes

Dorcas( door-cas ) A Gazelle, a lanky animal. You were a lanky little girl. The moment your adoptive mother saw you, you were dubbed Doe. An innocent little gazelle you were. Your birth name, though you never knew it, was Alecia Mae Wilson. A Halfblood whose father died before you were born and therefore unable to tell your mother the secret about the blood running through your veins. Oops. You were placed with a new family - the Meadowes.

Rose( row-z ) A wildflower in your small basket. A wild Rose and thus your middle was chosen. The flower became the one thing you held onto. It was pressed and stored and saved and even after going off to Hogwarts, you kept it and would look at it whenever you felt like a piece of you was missing.

Meadowes ( med-oh-zz ) A meadow. Alissa Mae Meadowes and John Scot Meadowes were an older couple unable to conceive children. When it was announced you would be up for adoption - they jumped at the chance. Little Meadowes you would grow to be.

preferred face claim: emeraude toubia, seychelle gabriel

date of birth: April 5th, 1959.

Aries. A birthday is supposed to mean so much. However, a birthday can’t mean shit when you don’t know when you were truly born. April 5th, 1960. It was the day you were dropped off - unwanted, unloved.

Your mother made a birthday for you. She told you that you were born that day, even if it wasn’t the day you came into the world. It was the day you became a part of their family..

Even when you didn’t fit in, and no matter how much you tried– weird things happened around you.

Aries are known to be independent, and bold. Dorcas was and is both. From the time she could walk and talk, she was taking care of herself.

skills:

Charms and Transfiguration. The only two classes that meant anything to her. Potions was dreadful and her other classes were boring. The two classes were the only ones that would truly matter in her Healer training anyways. (Yet no one told her you need to know Potions to excel.)

occupation: Healer trainee.

She is currently a Healer trainee at Saint Mungo’s. While it wasn’t her first choice at a job, it has become something she loves. Always wanting to help the lower people and patients within the Hospital.

on war:

She’s indifferent. She wants to do something but she’s innocent and naive. She doesn’t know what she can do to help. Yet, she knows she wants to do something. Dorcas is in the Order but she feels like it isn’t enough and won’t be enough when Voldemort strikes. The war heavily affects her because of her blood status.

She’s on the Light side and intends to remain there.

boggart:

Lily, Marlene and Sirius’s dead bodies. They’re the only ones besides her parents she’s held love for. They’re the only ones she would die for in a heartbeat. The image is their bodies stacked on one another covered in blood.

amortentia:

Mint: Her mother was a lover of all things to do with Tea. Making her own kinds and versions. Dorcas was a lover of all things to do with her mothers cooking. Maybe that’s why when it came to Tea, Dorcas was right there trying all of them. Mint was and will always remain her favorite. The one thing about her mother she’ll miss the most. Lemon Scones: Lily was a baker. A damn good one at that. Dorcas would eat anything the redhead made her without a second thought. Lemon scones. The one thing Dorcas loved and hated the most. The taste of Lemon would make her gag automatically but the dessert would have her coming back for more. Wet Grass: Her father mowed. Especially after it rained. The smell of freshly cut wet grass would always be the scent that reminded her of childhood. Even after her parents died, she would mow her yard the Muggle way just to be able to smell that scent.

wand:

9", Alder, Phoenix Feather, Supple

While Alder is an extremely rare wood, it was the only wand that didn’t cause everything in Ollivander’s shop to blow up. It was the twenty-third wand he had handed young Dorcas. He immediately hid as soon as she touched it, yet only gold showed from the end. They’re known to be a fighter wand and along with the Phoenix Feather, it creates balance. The short length is due to Dorcas’ short height. Though, she refuses to admit it.

patronus:

Dolphin, they’re sociable animals and Dorcas is the most sociable person you could ever meet. A Dolphin patronus is normally attached to confident and strong people, both of which Doe attributes. While she is still unable to produce her patronus, from reading about the different ones– she believes it or Hare would fit her the best. Though, at age nineteen she will be able to perform it.

important connections:

LILY EVANS: Best friend. Better half. The only one who could relate to her with their blood status and upbringing. Dorcas was there for Lily when Lily needed someone. Especially when Lily upset-baked, Dorcas was there to eat it all. SIRIUS BLACK: Unknown to him but she loves him more than she’ll admit. Friends since first year and continuing on now, Dorcas finds Sirius to be the greatest thing since sliced bread. MARLENE MCKINNON: Twin. Light of life. Marls, her sister from other parents. Numerous summers spent with the McKinnon family. (Donnie was hot okay.) meant they grew too close. Throw in a redhead and you have the trio.

biography & other headcanons

Dorcas Rose Meadowes was born two months premature in a small London home. Her mother had lost too much blood and before anyone knew it, her mother was gone. Little Dorcas was taken and was bounced between family members until no other family wanted her. That’s when the adoption took place and little Doe got a family.

The Meadowes were older, both unable to conceive children and they had been in the system for over six years to adopt a child. At least, until the little brunette girl came to them. Alissa Meadowes was a kind woman and when she first seen little Dorcas– she knew what name to give her. Dorcas Rose it was. Meadowes was a given. The family loved the little girl, always ensuring she had everything she wanted.

Yet, they knew something was wrong with their daughter. Weird things would happen with Dorcas, she would always cause odd things to happen and occurrences of floating books and stuffed animals wasn’t an unheard thing in the Meadowes household. Everything began to make sense before Dorcas’ eleventh birthday.

A woman showed up on their doorstep and spoke about things that made the Meadowes’ confused. There was no such thing as magic, no such thing as the Wizarding World. However, the woman was able to produce books and writing and everything to prove the family that their young girl was indeed a witch. It took three weeks for Dorcas to convince them to let her go. The trip to Diagon Alley was everything the brunette imagined. It was perfect, too perfect. A kitten was bought, a wand was found and everything was amazing.

Dorcas sat by herself on the ride to Hogwarts, at least until Lily Evans appeared. A friendship was quickly struck up. The future Hufflepuff seen herself in the redhead and the two Muggleborns became close.

Within two minutes, she was placed in Hufflepuff. The house was her home. Quickly able to make friends and excel in her studies. Her mother and father were more than proud of their little witch, though they rarely said it. They were scared though, while things in the Muggle world were going to Hell… They wondered if the same was happening in the Wizarding.

Hogwarts was her safe haven, until it no longer was. The Wizarding World was going to Hell and Dorcas needed to choose a side, make a stance. The minute she graduated, she was approached by Dumbledore and asked to join the Order. Doe didn’t need a second thought and joined immediately. She knew with her Healer training she would soon have, she would be a needed asset for the cause.

Healer training wasn’t her first choice, but it was needed. She had friends and family to protect. She joined it quickly and quietly. Making her way up the ladder, always impressing those around her and making sure her friends were there when she needed them. Healing came too naturally.

Then, tragedy struck and Dorcas had to take a step back and reevaluate things.

Three days before her eighteenth birthday, her parents were murdered in cold blood. Their house burned to a crisp. That was when Dorcas decided.

She was going to fight, even if it killed her.

should the writing sample be ic?

Though it would help us a lot to see how you write your character, that isn’t actually necessary. The main point of the writing sample for us is to see whether an applicant’s writing style suits this roleplay.

- Admin Ella

[allforwar]

because alice is listed as longbottom, does that mean she and frank are already married?

She may be listed as such, but if the players would prefer pre-wedding or no wedding at all, that is certainly up to them. The first to apply for a role gets to decide!

why this character: Fabian has always been a mystery to me because he’s hardly mentioned in the books yet he is a big part of roleplays and alternate universe things. I love exploring his character and how he will be set up in my head.

past experience in roleplay: I’ve been roleplaying on Tumblr since 2013 and I’ve fallen in love with it. I have been in a total of about 10 roleplays and have only ever left when the roleplay either died out because people left or because the admins went into different directions. I am loyal to my roleplays until I have no other choice but to leave it behind.

preferred face claim: Matthew Daddario

date of birth: January 24th, 1958

skills: Charms and Transfirgurations are Fabian’s strong points, Defence Against the Dark Arts are a close second. He will work hard on whatever skill is needed for the task and will get there.

occupation: Auror

on war: Fabian is saddened by the war, how could the world they live in not be the one he wants to be in most of the time. Fabian has sided with the Order of the Phoenix because they embody the most of his ideas.

boggart: Death of his loved ones, Enclosed Spaces, Losing the ability to move

amortentia: Fresh Air, Grass and Lavender

patronus: A Condor, Corporeal

important connections: - Mary MacDonald - Best Friend - Gideon Prewett - Twin Brother   - Molly Prewett - Sister

biography & other headcanons

Mr and Mrs Prewett worked hard to get their kids everything they deserved and probably a lot more. Give them everything and teach them that there is no value in materialistic things. When they were granted with two little boys, they decided to name them after their respective grandparents, Gideon and Fabian Prewett. Molly was happy to have received not only on but two little brothers. Little did she know she’d take back her word on how happy she was with them being born at the same time. Fabian and his brother Gideon had been inseparable since birth, driving their older sister Molly on a cliff with their shenanigans. But then Hogwarts had happened. Hogwarts where the brothers had been separated by their houses and the differences between the two had started to show. Where as Gideon had landed his spot in Gryffindor, Fabian headed into Ravenclaw and started working hard towards his goals. He loved being with his brother still and getting pranks and jokes in order to apply to their funny side, the difference became more apparent in them besides just their looks. Fabian made the Quidditch team in his second year, while his brother played the same spot as he did, both were of course on different teams. Fabian loved his Quidditch team and loved being one of the Ravenclaw Chasers. He strived towards his goals and sometimes that made Fabian a little reckless, not only was he hard worked but he was also picky and a perfectionist. His goals weren’t reached easily, but when they were reached they were reached with great potential, reached with the best he could do. While Fabian thrived in school he was determined to make his years in school count. To know he was going somewhere when he left the castle had been his home for the past seven years. Knowing that out there was something happening made him scared, but got him excited at the same time. Because while he might have been a pureblood, he didn’t share the same views as a lot of his classmates might do. Fabian got accepted into the Auror program and was ready to start after he graduated from Hogwarts, he was ecstatic when he found out he got to go and was ready to start his life outside of the castle. Not sure where he would head once he was actually out there, he knew that he would side with whatever side would stand for his believes. During his Auror training he was invited to join the Order of the Phoenix, the group of people that had started the fight against Voldemort and his notorious Death Eaters. While the decision wasn’t made automatically, it was made after a short period of time where Fabian had been send on missions to get information and go to the front line where he was needed the most. Fabian had always said that he would fight for the rights to give everyone an equal right to using their magical core, he felt that just being an Auror wasn’t enough. He accepted the invitation to the Order and became one of their Task Force fighters, always on the front line and going for the more dangerous jobs. Fabian will always be strong and quick with his wand and know what to do when in danger. Quick in mind and matter when it came to making sure his loved ones and those he cared about were in absolute safety but rather reckless when it came to his own safety. It would take more than one person to get Fabian to go under, for he would never give up unless he had no other choice. His recklessness and complete lack of care for his own health and safety makes Fabian a dangerous asset for the Task Force. One that is a force to be reckoned with and should be handled with care. Dark and Dangerous was one of the things that Fabian would remain if he needed to, he would fight until his very last moment and even then he wouldn’t go down without a grin on his face, knowing he had given it his complete all.

why this character: I have been playing Remus ever since I got into roleplaying again. I love everything about him and I love playing him how I feel he would’ve been back at Hogwarts or after that even. I love exploring his character and getting to know more about him along the way.

past experience in roleplay: I’ve been roleplaying on Tumblr since 2013 and I’ve fallen in love with it. I have been in a total of about 10 roleplays and have only ever left when the roleplay either died out because people left or because the admins went into different directions. I am loyal to my roleplays until I have no other choice but to leave it behind.

activity level: Every day unless prevented from due to work

in character information

character’s full name: Remus John Lupin

preferred face claim: Luke Newberry or Andrew Garfield

date of birth: 10th of March, 1960

skills: Remus is smart, loyal, helpful and would do anything for those he loves. But on the other hand Remus is very insecure, he doesn’t think he’s worth much due to his condition and sometimes that makes him lose trust in himself. He feels he doesn’t deserve friends like the other Marauders and is scared that he’d lose them if he does something wrong. 

Remus is good at spells and charms. He is quick with his wand and knows that. He loves Defence against the Dark Arts and Transfigurations. One of his major strengths is staying on top of his schoolwork when he misses days out of the month due to his transformations under a full moon.

occupation: Remus is still a Hogwarts student. He has no idea what he wants to be when he gets out of school besides joining the Order of the Phoenix. He feels he has little choices when it comes to his condition.

on war: Remus is rather impartial to the war but will follow his friends into battle. He will fight for what is right and will do anything, even lay down his life, to make sure the people he loves are safe.

boggart: Remus’ boggart takes the form of the full moon, due to his greatest fear and weakness in his persona. He hates becoming the monster once a month.

amortentia: Remus’ amortentia smells of old books, fresh strawberries and chocolate. Remus loves the smell of old books, he could spend a lifetime with his nose in books. The first strawberries of summer were the ones that Remus loved eating, fresh and juicy and overall amazing. Remus’ love for chocolate would be called unhealthy to some people, but he didn’t care. Chocolate made him happy and darn he could use some happiness in his life.

patronus: Remus’ Patronus has been corporeal for the past year since he started practicing it whenever he could. His Patronus takes the form of a big wolf, rather funny when you think of the fact that Remus hates that side of him with a passion.

important connections: The Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew gave Remus a reason to not give up. Sometimes when a full moon had been particularly rough, the boys being there and trying to cheer him up was enough to keep him there. The boys had risked their own lives to make sure that the full moons would be more bearable for Remus. He had never expected to have friends ever in his life, but the three boys made Remus believe that maybe he was worth it.

Mary MacDonald: Mary had always been a close friend of Remus’. She had always been there to lighten the mood when he had needed it and was always there for a laugh. Perhaps Remus liked her more than just being her friend but he’d never act on it because he didn’t think it would be fair to put her in the position of having to deal with the monster that he felt he was.

Lily Evans: Remus was very fond of Lily Evans. She had always been so kind to him, no matter what happened. She didn’t know his secret as far as he knew but she knew exactly when to comfort him or make sure that he had his space when he wasn’t in any mood to talk to anyone. He wasn’t in love with or anything, but he made sure that she knew that he appreciated her friendship.

Hope Lupin: Remus loves his mother, they used to spend most of their time together and shared their love of reading. Remus is like his mother in many ways.

Lyall Lupin: The relationship between Remus and his father is strained. He loves his father to death but for some reason he never seems to connect with him. Lyall feels responsible for Remus’ condition and pulls back from his son because of it. When he knew Remus might not be able to attend Hogwarts, he tried to give his son the magical education from home, only stopping this when Albus Dumbledore gave Remus a place at Hogwarts after all.

biography & other headcanons

Remus had been a boy of five years old when the werewolf Greyback had somehow gotten into his bedroom. Remus had been bitten because his father had angered the werewolf and he sought revenge. A nasty scar on his shoulder, circling over the entire area of his shoulder would remind Remus of that particular night forever. The other one hundred and sixty five scars on the rest of his body reminded him of the full moon nights that had followed from that night on.

Hope and Lyall Lupin had tried everything to save their only son, to try and come up with solutions, potions to make the full moons easier, especially when he had been younger. But it had been long since they’d given up on the dream of finding a cure, there wasn’t one. Remus had told them to stop spending money on his affliction, knowing it wasn’t going to happen and he wanted his parents to live happily, no matter what happened to him.

It had been the night of his eleventh birthday when a man with a long white beard and long white hair had shown up on their doorstep. Albus Dumbledore had come to tell Remus that he wanted to offer him a spot at Hogwarts school for witchcraft and wizardry. Remus, who had always believed that no one would ever let him enter the school because of what he was, was beyond excitement. He had never felt happier up until that point, Professor Dumbledore had even told him that a special place would be created for him to go back to so he could transform and stay there for the remainder of the night on full moons.

It had been at the school where Remus would meet people that would show him what real friendship was. He met three young boys by the names of James Potter, Sirius Black and Peter Pettigrew. Three boys who would later on risk their lives and ‘innocent’ lives for him and become illegal Animagi after finding out that a werewolf wouldn’t hurt animals. They gave Remus a way for the wolf to stay calm during those nights, a way in which he’d been able to keep calm and wouldn’t risk as many self-inflicted wounds and a sore throat from howling all night long. They had made his transformations more bearable.

Headcanon #1: Remus’ first sexual experience was with a Ravenclaw called Derek, they went out a few times and shared their first time but soon after that their relationship was over. Remus wasn’t too sure whether he was into girls or guys.

Headcanon #2: Remus had always loved chocolate, but he’d always known that chocolate was poisonous to dogs. There was always a part of him, no matter how small that part may be, that hoped that if he’d consume enough chocolate that he’d murder the wolf part of himself in order to live a normal life again.

in character information

character’s full name: Marlene Skye McKinnon

preferred face claim: Freya Mavor, Pheobe Tonkin and Jessica Sula

date of birth: 25th of July 1960

skills: Marlene takes; Transfiguration, Charms, Potions, History of Magic, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Arithmancy, The study of ancient runes  Astronomy and Herbology.  Marlene has a strange abundancy for Herbology, something about it just clicks with Marlene, and she’s also pretty good at Defence against the dark arts. Her worst subject by far is Charms, she is utterly and completely hopeless, James ends up helping her a lot as he always seems to be the one who will walk in on Marlene crying into her charms textbook, or throwing it across the room

occupation: Marlene wants to be a healer, there’s something about looking after people that attracts her, coming from a family of aurors, it’s just about the last thing she wants to do.

on war: Marlene hates the war, she feels it’s totally pointless and that people are dying for nothing. It also makes her angry, angry that people are ignorant. This is why she stands with the order of the Pheonix

boggart: Unlike most students boggarts that are able to be portrayed within a simple image – Marlene’s, on the other hand, cannot. Her biggest fear is darker, somewhat common and horrifying in every way possible. Her fear is far more complex than most: her fear is not only drowning but the creature that had caused her to drown. When their daughter was as mere six years old, John and Susan McKinnon decided to take their children on a picnic. It was a beautiful day! The sun was shining, the birds were chirping, water glistening and children laughing all around. The place was a picture perfect setting. Marlene had found herself to be completely mesmerized by the ripples out on the blue water. Gaining the approval from her parents, she made her way to the dock, where she leaned over to see her reflection and the fishes below.  On that particular day, she could’ve swore that in the darkness of the waters – there was something lurking. It’s shape was hard to make out but it struck fear in her heart. Before she was able to get away, she was pulled under the water by the mysterious figure. Though, to those on land, it appeared as though she simply fell into the water. Down, down, down – the two continued to go. She struggled trying to escape from the grip, but nothing happened. She was trapped.   Next thing she knew, she was waking up in St. Mungos with two worried parents and 5 horrified siblings standing around her as well as a team of doctors. They told her it was a miracle that she had lived. The first time that she was able to produce her boggart, the visual that stepped out before her had caused all the air in her body to leave her. For a while, she had told herself that she was over her fear of what happened that day, though deep down she knew that she was not and that is why it was standing there staring back at her. The dark tentacles of the creature wrapped around her cold and apparently lifeless body. It’s eyes were cat like and almost a golden/yellow colour that shined brightly – they were so alluring and fatal. Then again, the darkness had taken over her and her body collapsed to the floor; she had fainted once again, the reasoning unknown to all.

amortentia: Whiskey: The strong sweet, malty smell of whiskey is a smell that reminds Marlene of her father when she was little, he’d always have a dram after dinner. The smell reminds her of home and family.

Tobacco: This is a very potent smell, one that not many people find appealing, but to Marlene it holds so many different feelings and memories, it reminds her of her grandfather smoking in front of the fire at night, reminds her of shared cigarettes while having fun with her friends, secret adventures with her older brother Donnie (he’d be sneaking off to have a cigarette.)

Leather: The smell of leather in Marlene’s opinion is a bloody fantastic smell. Especially when it’s aged, it reminds Marlene about getting her very first set of quidditch pads and of long nights huddled up in a overly large leather jacket, of drunken kisses where she’d grab the collar.

The Grass after a thunderstorm: This reminds Marlene of the beginning of the quidditch season, when the grass is fresh.  It hold so much promise for the season ahead, it reminds her of misty morning walks, it smells so fresh, it almost refreshes you as a person.

patronus: Cat: When doing research on patronus’ it is stated that the cat stands for the following values; Independence, Protection, Love, Allows us to Dream its Dreams, Ability to Fight when Cornered, Mystery, Guardianship, Detachment, Sensuality, Aloofness, Balance, Wisdom, Recuperative Power, Reincarnation, Strong Protector, Self-Assured, Searching for Hidden Information. I think all of these accurately describe Marlene’s personality, she’s fiercely loyal and can’t hold her own when  she needs to. Marlene is a bit like a cat when I think about it, with cats they either love you or hate you, there’s not much of an in between, I think that’s a bit like Marlene, once she likes you you’re in, but if she dislikes you then you are very much out.

The memory that stimulates Marlene’s patronus is her Dad teaching her how to fly a broom. It was a gorgeous day when she was 6 when he brought her outside and presented her with her very own broom. She was so over the moon, they spent the entire day on brooms as he tried to teach her how to correctly fly. She failed a few times and fell off more than once, but it was a whole day where it was just her and her Dad, it was one of the only times she got to spend an entire day alone with him, just the two of them.

important connections: 

Lily Evans: Sister in everything but blood. Marlene met Lily way back at the very first feast, where they sat next to each other at the table after sorting. they hit it off almost instantly. They were the perfect compliment to each other, Lily is the sugar to Marlene’s spice. Lily is the person who Marlene knows she can go to with any problem any time and there isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for Lily. Lily is basically her non-sexual girlfriend, her confidant and her mother all rolled into one lovely Lily shaped package.

Mary MacDonald: The Mac to her Mc. What can Marlene say about Mary other than the fact that she has to be one of her favourite people on this entire planet. Without Mary, Marlene is sure she would just crumble and fall to pieces. They met in first year and became fast friends, Marlene is fiercely protective of her as she is with all her friends and would happily kill anyone who would dare hurt her. Mary is the one of the people Marlene can count on to be there for her no matter what she’s done and to always be up for eating as much junk food as humanly possible.

Dorcas Meadowes: Best friend. Marlene met Dorcas on the very first train ride. She shared a cabin with her. They remained friends over the years, along with Lily and Marlene these four girls are almost inseparable and are almost always seen together. they come as a package.

James Potter: Brotherly affection. Marlene and James go back, way back. Both coming from pureblood it was only natural that at some point they’d have met. And when they did, they became inseparable. Marlene considers James to be her brother, and their fights definitely reflect this, they’re as thick as thieves at times, which can only be expected from a pair who’ve been this close since they were weans. James is the one person out with her immediate family who Marlene will go to for help, no matter the problem. She’ll always be there for him as he has for her and she can’t imagine her life without him.

Amos Diggory: Ex-boyfriend. Marlene once loved Amos. Emphasis on the once, now she thinks he’s an arrogant arse-hole who thinks of no-one but himself. They’d been together a couple of months when she caught him in the middle of shagging another girl. It was the first time since Struan she’d let her heart get involved and had just ended up getting hurt again.

Sirius Black: The guy who stole her best friend. Originally Marlene hated Sirius, he had a connection with James that she could never have. A very manly connection, she was very jealous of his friendship with her best friend. But as she got older she realised that she could stil be friends with James and Sirius was alright. Now, she know’s he’s a good laugh and won’t judge her for her drinking habits. If she needs a good laugh or to goof off Sirius is the person she’ll go to.

biography & other headcanons

Marlene Skye McKinnon was born on the 25th of July 1960 to John and Susan McKinnon,  she grew up on the Isle of Mull with her six siblings; Donald, Matthew, Robert, Leanne, Scott and Amanda. Being a part of the McKinnon family it was a case of shout or not be heard and being the youngest and the only female child made this even more so the case, so naturally Marlene was rather outspoken, bubbly and a lot of the time rather loud. Before she was born her Mother was the one who worked while her Dad stayed at home looking after the children, but after Robert’s birth they hired a nanny and both worked as they needed the double income, so that John wasn’t living off his family’s money and so they could create a trust fund for their children.

Marlene had a happy upbringing, although her house was always busy. That was the way she liked it, there was always something going on. She had two fantastic parents and 6 brilliant if not sometimes over protective and annoying siblings. Even with her parents both working full-time at the ministry in the Auror department, they made time for their kids whenever they possibly could. They did hire a Nanny who would look after their children when they weren’t around, who came in the form of Karen. Karen was a lovely lady who taught Marlene basic school things as a child along with her older siblings.

Ever since Donald stepped on the train to go to Hogwarts, Marlene had dreamed about going too. She was closer to him than anyone else in her family and missed him so much when he was away. So when she finally got her chance, to say she was excited was an understatement. She met Lily Evans, Dorcas Meadowes and Mary MacDonald on the very first day and the rest as they say is history, they are almost inseparable. These four are like her family and her non-sexual girlfriend all rolled into one. There isn’t anything she wouldn’t do for these girls, if one of them were to jump of a bridge chances are Marlene would have already gone or she’s right behind them, they’re her sisters in everything but blood.

Being from such a big family means you have to fight to be heard sometimes, so Marlene has a big personality and a competitive nature, which is why she made it her mission to join the Quidditch team, which she achieved in her second year. She’s been a chaser ever since. Her parents have always pushed her to do her very best in life and to live the life she wants. She has a bubbly personality, and it very talkative you’ll almost always find her smiling or talking to someone. Marlene adores making people smile, if she can put a smile on someone’s face she will do it.

She does however come with a reputation, she has a bad habit of being with people who make her unhappy and whom she knows are only there to sleep with her. The first instance of this happened with the first guy she ever slept with. Struan was a friend of her brothers and a part of her knew why he was with her, but she didn’t want to believe it. So she went out with him anyway and ended up losing her virginity to him a couple weeks later, he spread it around school that he’s slept with her and then dumped her. Safe to say he was left with a broken nose, a bruised face and maybe even a couple broken ribs from Marlene’s brothers. Since that day Marlene hasn’t really involved herself in proper serious romantic relationships, she thinks that it’s easier that way, no emotional attachments means no broken hearts, so she tries not to let her heart get involved.

When it comes to school, to say she saw the point in it, is a pretty open statement . She understands why we need to have the system but often she finds it tedious, repetitive even. Repetitive for Marlene is a synonym for boring so occasionally she an be found cutting classes. Though, this being said when it’s required of her to study she will, Marlene understand that to get anywhere in life she’s going to need good grades, so around exam time she can often be found in the library studying. Marlene has an odd talent for Herbology, something about it just seems to click with Marlene, she’s alright at defence against the dark arts and her worst subject by far is charms, in which she is utterly and completely hopeless.

Having just finished school at Hogwarts, alot of life is up in the air for Marlene. There’s always been this expectation that she would be an auror, but with the turmoil the ministry is in that’s not a place she can see herself. Her father and her brothers find it so difficult working there under Yaxleys reign. There was a part of her that wanted to just join the order full time, but that would have only have lead to raising suspicion for herself. Not wanting to be working in the ministry she decided that she still wanted to help people and signed up to train to be a healer at St. Mungos and found herself falling in love with it. Marlene finds great satisfaction in her job, being able to help people in a literal sense and often she finds that her healing skills are very handy when out in the field with the order.

why this character: Mary has been one of my favourite muses for a long time. I’ve been rping as her for about a year now and over that year she has developed and changed so much into the girl she is today. And I would love to share my work on her with others. 

past experience in roleplay: I’ve been rping for about six years over many different platforms, although most actively over Chatzy and Tumblr. 

activity level: I can be fairly active. I’m good with keeping up with replies (when I don’t miss them) 

in character information

character’s full name: Mary Elaine MacDonald

preferred face claim: Shay Mitchell

date of birth: May 21st, 1960

skills:  Mary is a debater- she likes fight and bicker with people, making her an ideal lawyer. She also has found herself to be a rather skilled "fashionista" and photographer. Although fashion is something she exercises on a regular basis, photography is more a hobby she picked up to collect memories and to share with her friends and family- something she enjoys passionately. Her best class is History of Magic (despite how dull others may find it.)

occupation: Student, currently. Mary’s dream job had always been to be a lawyer. But that shifted when she started to attend Hogwarts and realized the classes she was taking wouldn’t help her in achieving that goal. She has currently switched gears and is aiming toward working for the Ministry in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. 

on war: If Mary is being honest- she is terrified. She had never been much of a physical fighter, but she’d always be willing to stand up and fight with her friends. Mary is sided with the Order of the Phoenix. 

boggart:  Before the attack: Herself- odd to explain, really, but the boggart would turn into a mirror image of herself, telling her nasty- horrible things. (You'll never make it in life, you're vain, you're arrogant, you're stupid- Wendy and Nicholas are going to succeed and you'll be the weird witch. You'll never make it anywhere. No one will ever love you.)

After the attack: Mulciber. To this day, she still has nightmares about turning a corner and seeing him there, standing wand at the ready, to finish the job he didn't complete the first time. There is no doubt her Boggart would take that same form.

amortentia: The smell from the river that passed through the backyard of the old cottage- Mary's first, and true home. As well, the smell of marshmallows roasting over an open flame, another smell of her childhood, and one that can never fail to bring a smile to her face. The final scent; roses. Mary was always a romantic at heart, and the smell of roses is just one that constantly makes her fall in love.

patronus: Mary has yet to be able to cast a full-bodied Patronus, but she has completed a non-corporeal one. However, if she were able to cast a full Patronus it would take the form of a swan. Beautiful, elegant, and fierce. 

important connections:  Dorcas Meadowes: Mary's best friend in the entire world. From the moment the two met, they hit it off and have been inseparable since. Down to having dorky nicknames (Doe & Mac) the girls do practically everything together whenever they can. Mary couldn't think of anyone she trusts more in the world than Dorcas, and sure, they don't always have the same interests, or even get along, but they always find a way to stick together and make the best out of any situation.

Marlene McKinnon, Alice Fortsecute & Lily Evans: Friends. They are Mary's dorm mates, and she admires them greatly. They're passionate, strong, smart, fiery, and most of all- fun. They've been a great support system for Mary ever since her accident, and she considers them to be confidantes. Girls that she'd be willing to turn to for advice, and if they so happen to need it, perhaps the other way around too.

James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew:  The worst influences for a young witch to have. They're loud, troublemakers, pranksters, getting into fights, getting into parties; and Mary loves every second of it. The four of them are fascinating, with their pranks, their drinking, and their general tom-foolery, which Mary is more than eager to get a hand in. She doesn't actively go searching for trouble, but if it steps in front of her in the form of four boys- she's more than willing to join in on the fun. She also may or may not have the tiniest crush on Remus.

Marcus Mulciber: Nightmare fuel; the first words to come to Mary's mind when she thinks of him. She'd like to consider herself a brave Gryffindor, and she'd certainly be willing to put on the face of it but... Well, she can only wear the mask for so long. She wants to be able to fight him, and she's maybe even been preparing to take her revenge against him- but who knows if she'll actually be able to step up to the plate and do it?

biography & other headcanons

Mary Elaine MacDonald was born on the rainy night of May 21st, 1960 in a small cottage in Scotland. She was the third and final child of Charles and Josephine MacDonald. Their oldest, Nicholas, was born October 8th, 1950, and their middle child, Wendy, was born July 12th, 1952. The family of five lived in the small three-bedroom cottage together for many years, until Mary was seven years old- then, they moved out to the big city of Dublin to allow for Nicholas to have closer access to post secondary education and to allow better education for their girls. 

Even before the move, Josephine worked from home as a lifestyle columnist for a local newspaper- writing about family life and raising three children. She was able to continue this work by simply mailing her articles out to the newspaper back at home, and they’d mail her her cheques in return. Gregory himself was a teacher- so finding a new job in the city was easy. 

Mary was always closest to her brother out of anyone in her family. Which was strange, given the age gap between them; but he always affirmed her one thing. To go after whatever she desired, no matter what the consequence. More than anyone in her life, Nicholas pushed his sister to do anything she believed in; and Mary carried that with her the rest of her life. 

However, despite being so close to her brother, she did carry some interests from Wendy. Mainly, her artistic and feminine side. It was her sister her first taught her how to use a camera, how to walk in heels, how to put on lipstick, what colours suited her skin tone, what sort of clothing was flattering on her- and Mary fell in love with it. It was like she was creating something new out of herself every day. Within fashion and makeup, she was able to choose how the world saw her and how people made their first impressions of her. Mary was always eager to put her best foot forward, and had some of the best role models to teach her how to do it. 

It was shortly after the move where Mary began to show signs of magic- at first, no one thought much of it. Small items being misplaced, later to be found in odd places. (Soap in the fridge, anyone?). Then, over time, things began to become more Mary-specific. Such as the cookie jar that was placed just outside of her reach being moved to where she could easily access it. Her hair never tangled, or more film for her and her sisters Polaroid cameras appearing out of nowhere. These things remained unsolved, until the day of her 11th birthday, where a sharp looking lady with a tight salt-and-pepper bun showed up at her front door and shared some interesting news with her family; Mary was a witch.

Her first day experiencing the world of magic is still a blur- she walked through the streets of Diagon Alley with her siblings and parents, buying everything she would need to experience her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy- including her wand (Hawthorn, 13 inches, Unicorn hair, swishy), and her black barn owl, whom she would come to name Aphrodite. 

Mary was more than excited when her first day at Hogwarts came, practically hopping onto the train without giving her family much of a goodbye. She snapped one final photo of her and her family before wishing them all goodbyes. Her father helped her load her trunk onto the train, before leaving Mary by herself to pull it on along, finding herself somewhere to sit in wait. 

Every second was a second too long to actually arrive at the school, but when she did, Mary waited eagerly for her name to finally be called and for her to strut her way to the front of the hall, sit herself in front of hundreds of students until the Sorting Hat finally made it’s call- Gryffindor. 

The rest of her years at Hogwarts passed without incident. She was a self-proclaimed ‘it girl’. Wendy keeping her up to date on the latest trends, so Mary could style herself accordingly. She was loud, smart, and more than willing to get her hands into a bit of trouble if not for the sheer fun of it all.

Things changed quickly in her 5th year, when Mulciber of Slytherin house decided that the Muggleborn girl parading around like she did was far too much- he reigned an attack on her, that she found herself defenseless against. After spending a few weeks in St. Mungos, recovering from the attack and accepting the fact that she’d be left with more than a few scars- she secluded herself the rest of the school year; in fear of Mulciber and getting herself hurt again. Why he was still allowed in the school was a mystery to her. 

It wasn’t until she returned home that Nicholas was able to kick her back into shape, insisting that she was better than him, smarter than him, stronger than him, and she shouldn’t let him kick her around and make her scared. It took a while for the message to sink in, but by the time that she returned to Hogwarts for her 6th year, Mary MacDonald was a force to be reckoned with. (Or so she told herself)

Now, 7th year is approaching and Mary feels a lot more like the Gryffindor she was sorted to be. Ready to take on the world, and get the hell outta Hogwarts.
