      🐍 narcissa had two wands in her life, the first she received - as did so many others - from ollivanders shop as an 11 year old about to enter hogwarts. she tried a number of wands and ollivander himself noted that perhaps there was more to the young witch than met the eye. she herself recalls the strange look in his eyes when she tried a willow wand with a unicorn core.

      🐍 the wand was not a match, and ollivander murmured something about what might change were she to have a different surname. what she didn’t see was the look of disappointment as he said this. the wand he returned with proved itself the perfect match.

      🐍 he was hesitant to try a child with a hawthorn wand - given their reputation of backfiring when handled incorrectly - though the unicorn core aided to temper its nature. the ageing wand maker knew he’d made the right choice when he saw her wide-eyed expression, the flash of guilt, upon mentioning the wands inclinations toward turmoil. quietly he hoped that whatever strand of unicorn hair existed in narcissa would be enough to keep the young witch steady. 

     🐍 ironically enough the culmination of the turmoil she would face, did not come to a head until after she had lost the wand.

      🐍 first wand: hawthorn, unicorn, slightly yielding, 11.5 inches

      🐍 between her first and second permanent wands, narcissa used her mothers wand - which she had received upon her death - though she never full bonded to it. that wand was elm with a dragon core. she had a distinct impression of feeling inadequate, of failed expectations when she handled it. narcissa was able to wield in competently throughout the battle, but not to her usual standard of excellence.

      🐍 it wasn’t until after her trial that narcissa sought a new wand, and once again returned to ollivander - though she was initially reluctant to do so given the torture he had been subjected to in her home. the two conversed for a long time, and at the end of it, she departed with a new wand. she does not share the details of this conversation, but it was not long after this that she pursued her current occupation aiding children displaced by the war.

      🐍 the wand she left with that day was made of black walnut - an uncommon wand with an even rarer quirk. black walnut would reject an owner with any degree of insincerity or internal conflict. she was wise enough by then to recognise the shift from the wand she had previously been matched with, and the one she had so nearly had all those years ago. narcissa noted too that the unicorn core responded far more sweetly to her call now than it had previously.

      🐍 second wand: black walnut, unicorn, reasonably supple, 10.5 inches

Narcissa: I can't be the looks and brains of the operation.

Lucius: I thought I was the looks.

Narcissa: And that's why you're not the brains.

disclaimer

this is a an independent roleplay blog for Narcissa Malfoy nee Black from the Harry Potter series. this blog is highly headcanon based with influences from the books, movies and actor interviews. i do not acknowledge cursed-child canon.

i do not condone or support JKR at all.

general

this blog is mutuals only and selective. meaning i will only respond in character to people i follow and who follow me. out of character depends on the context and content of the communication.

i am not comfortable with personal blogs interacting at all. if you have a rp sideblog, just let me know.

underage muns will be blocked on sight. if you do not have an age range listed, i simply won’t interact. i myself am well over 21.

at minimum for me to follow, you must have a rules page and an about for oc’s. in progress pages are fine, just something for me to work with. posts must also be cut, and content tagged.

nsfw is something i quite enjoy writing, but only with muns over 21. i don’t use readmores, but it is always tagged. my nsfw tag is “nsfw   (( passion beneath icy veneer ))”. so far that hasn’t been caught by the filter. if it changes i’ll make a post.

due to the content of this blog there will be triggers present. i tag all the main things under “tw:______” if you need anything else tagged please let me know. Images of dogs will not be tagged as i use one as my mun face. snakes, pregnancy and miscarriage will be prevalent, but i will endeavor to tag

as to my triggers: if you have images of clowns or needles on your blog, please do not follow. i’m not super comfortable with horror source material either, so i’ll be more comfortable if you have tags for me to blacklist

just don’t be a dick, basically. don’t police my blog and i won’t police yours. but also, i will not tolerate out of character racism, homophobia, sexism etc. however, i’m adult enough to understand that muses aren’t perfect. in character has different standards.

when rebabbling asks, i would prefer you please do it from the source, unless you’ve sent one in. i’ve been used as a resource blog before, kinda hate it.

writing

i still use helen mcrory as my adult cissa faceclaim. however !  if my using her makes you uncomfortable, please please let me know. i have an alternative face for her

i tend to skew a little shorter on writing 1-3 paragraph type of thing, only because novellas take me a long ass time to reply to. i’m open to doing them with established mutuals, but please be aware they will take me a while.

you don’t have to match my length, just give me something to work with.

if you want to start writing with me, the best way to do so is via an ask. there’s no time limits on my asks, send them whenever the hell you want. i just ask that you yeet it into a new post if you want to continue. also completely adore being tagged in random starters.

that said, i may not answer every meme. it happens.

for most of her canon, narcissa is a married woman which does make her difficult to ship. however, i am open to roleplaying infidelity plots. her post canon verse however she is divorced and free to be with anyone. she is also a straight woman. my two biggest ships for her are lucius and severus, but we’re open to others too.

i use small font, and some formatting when i can be bothered. i ask you please do not use small + sub/sup as i cannot fucking read it, and it gives me a migraine just trying. like literal migraine, in bed in severe pain for hours. my icons/gifs are various styles and sizes. some are made by me, most are sourced elsewhere and used according to those rules

the mun

my name is rhi or ari she/her. i’m a 21+ australian.

i am notorious for poor activity, it’s not a sign of lack of interest. it’s just me - if im not here i maybe on one of my other blogs: rowena from supernatural is my main one and lurk blog so you can probably chase me up there.

my writing schedule is pretty irregular because aside from the other blogs and muse issues i work two jobs, one of which is hospitality. i’m also just very a disaster of a human to be honest

i’m really quite shy, and struggle with the first approach. doesn’t mean i don’t want to write - just shy. one of those people who’s eternally worried i’m being a bother. will panic if i think i’ve sent a meme too long after you’ve posted it. i just ask for a bit of gentleness please.

thanks for reading and i cant wait to write with you !!! <3 ari/rhi
