She loves Callie but is misguided in her efforts to make her choices for her and attempt to keep her in line.

Castor attended Hogwarts as a Slytherin. He's unlike most of his family members in that he is softer and less likely to spout blood-purist rhetoric.

Personality & Attitude

Callie is the quiet sort who prefers the company of books to people. She doesn't go out of her way to make friends and can often seem cold or even rude to people who don't know her, but she's quite friendly once you manage to break through her surface. Deep down, she feels very alone due to her parents being distant and being an only child. She struggles with creating meaningful connections but craves them deeply.

She responds best to speaking of common interests, like books or music. She's a little bit clueless about the Muggle world and finds learning about Muggle culture fascinating. Callie is creative and sometimes scribbles poetry in the margins of her essays or in little notebooks. She doesn't have ambitions to become a poet as a fulltime job, though.

Finally got around to drawing my Hogwarts Legacy MC. Now, on to drawing more Ominis and Seb.

Ramblings about her under the cut

Disclaimer - I know it deviates from canon especially since the Lestrange family is well known and all but whatever! I wasn’t gonna make her one of the sacred 28 but I wanted her to be french and it kinda just happened...

She was born in France to a Lestrange mother who was considered by the rest of the family a blood traitor and disowned, completely erased from the family trees for marrying a muggle. 

After complications due to contracting consumption during the pregnancy so close to childbirth, she died, leaving her father to care for her. However, her family could not accept that she would be raised by a muggle, despite considering her a stain in their legacy. There was a great-aunt in England who could never have children and was now recently widowed, and it was decided - without her knowledge - that Antigone would be given to her to take care of, out of pity, like a pet.

They obliviated her father’s memories of them, and took her to England, to a big but rural estate where this lonely great-aunt lived (my reference here is Lady Catherine from Pride and Prejudice but less of a hag and more open minded). She enjoyed a carefree and privileged childhood, but showed no signs of possessing any magic ability. Her great aunt was strict, but saw her as her own daughter, caring not for her stained blood or lack of magic. She was meant to be a pet, after all.

It wasn’t until her 14th birthday that she started showing magical abilities. Her great-aunt was distressed, because that changed everything. She would have to go to Hogwarts, she would meet new people, she would leave her there, old and alone. And, after seeing her as a mere cute and harmless hal-blood for so long, now she could one day even want to be part of the family as if her muggle heritage did not matter. Despite the shock at first, she eventually made peace with this, assuring herself that Antigone was innoccent and well behaved enough so as to remain with her head down in regards to the Lestranges, moving forward. 

- Her great aunt called her Antigone or Ann for short, but in Hogwarts she felt more comfortable going by Cecile (especially after learning about Anne, Sebastian’s sister).

Saw @crowlipso‘s one and couldn’t resist

My Room of Requirement so far :)

[tevinter]

Can you give me some beautiful and wonderful lore about your oc? I am really intrigued by her.

Be careful what you wish for... Behold my very long ramblings -

Antigone is named after the character from Sophocle's tragedy, and I like to think that she has the same qualities I see in the original - extremely loyal, caring, stubborn, marked by death all her life but it never made her bitter or cruel. The 'memento mori' aspect of her character is such an inspiration to the way I think about my Antigone. From the very first scenes in the play Antigone makes clear that she is not afraid to die to do right by the ones she loved, because there is beauty in that because there is love. Her actions may be morbid but they are full of so much love and honour and stubbornness that it makes her one of my favourite characters of all time, and I wanted my mc to have those qualities too. I didn't want her to be a sad edgy girl (nothing wrong with those). She has an air of longing and melancholy and quietness, but it is the form of the gentlest happinness and wonder. I think of her as a bit ethereal, a bit morbid, extremely gentle. Like the ghost of a loved one. Or a little black bird that seems an omen of death but if you hold it in your hands you'll feel how gentle it is. And I think it fits so well with the time period! I really love the Victorian Era and its mourning rituals and memento mori-ness and search for spirits and séances.

She was born to a Lestrange mother and a muggle father, in France. Her mother was erased from the family tree à la Sirius Black when they married, for being a blood-traitor and whatnot, but her mother contracted tuberculosis close to childbirth and died soon after she was born. Before dying, though, out of spite, she gave Antigone the family surname. The Lestranges would not accept someone with their name being raised by a muggle, even though they despised her and called her a ''little blood-traitor spawn''. The elders of the family discussed the situation - they thought about killing her, but there was some distant great-aunt who was recently widowed and lonely in her estate in England, so they sent her there to be raised by her and keep her company. They obliviated her father's memories of his wife, daughter and the subsequent events relating to them. She did not show any signs of magical abilities during her childhood, but she could still see ghosts and eventually Thestrals, though they were rare.

Living with her great aunt was ok. She wasn't treated as a daughter, more like a pet. Sometimes like a dignified house elf. At least until she grew into a well-behaved, graceful girl. Then she was seen with kinder eyes. Her aunt was very much the typical Queen Victoria ''forever in mourning'', and black clothes were the norm in the household. They were the very contrast of old and bitter and young and spirited, though connected by their memento-mori-ness. Antigone lived in this estate and had to think of pasttimes that did not involve magic. She learned to play some instruments (piano and violin) and transcribed music sheets. When she went to London once, she got separated from her great aunt and found herself in a theatre, where there was a ballet presentation. She took opera librettos and some books back home. Sometimes she practised dancing like a ballerinna when she was alone. She also liked to roam the woods next to the estate, because she marvelled at nature. She was particularly fond of the magpies that nested there and the wild hares. She even loved the spiders, especially seeing their webs adorned with dew in the morning. It was a good childhood, despite the strict rules and chores, and lack of friends or familial love.

When she turned 14, she started showing signs of magical abilities. Her great aunt was a bit pleased, but also scared to be alone again, so she acted bitterly about it. Nevertheless, her Hogwarts letter came and off to Hogwarts she went.

I have more ramblings about Hogwarts and Ominis and the other characters but this is already too long.

Due to death being one of the first things she ever saw, her Patronus is a small Thestral foal.

[tevinter]

Can you please tell me what’s the “Antigone” mean? Is she really kind with other house instead Slytherin? Anyway your art’s so ✨Breathtaking✨,

Antigone is the main character in the Athenean tragedy written by Sophocles (she's the oldest daughter of Oedipus). I love the play and the character and the name so that's the inspiration. It's pronounced Ann-TIG-o-nee in english. I also almost named my cat Antigone 5 years ago haha.

As for if she would be kind to people from other houses, yes and no? I mean, she is really introverted and shy, which can make her unapproachable as it can be mistaken for rudeness. She never had any friends before Hogwarts (apart from house elves and wild animals) and the Slytherin people were the first ones she met, and it could feel a bit overwhelming talking to more people than what she's used to, especially because she enjoys spending time alone too. So, being insecure and shy, she grew too attached to the familiar Slytherin faces and the sense of belonging that the house gave her. With the house cup and all, she might get competitive and see anyone from other houses as competitors/rivals, even if they couldn't care less. I guess it comes with the lack of social skills and her stubborn and competitive personality. So, if someone can break through these barriers, then she is kind but also a bit awkward at first (in a weird way, not a cute way).

And thank you so much for the compliment, I've been drawing more because of the incentive from all the lovely people here and I can see how I'm slowly improving <3
