ACADEMICS & ROOMING

★ SECONDARY SCHOOL / Wigtown Wizarding School, class of 1974 ★ ACADEMIC PURSUITS / Incomplete Pre-Healer degree ★ HOUSE & YEAR / Slytherin, dropped out April 1976

POINTS OF INTEREST

★ The Farleys were one of the first Pureblood families to denounce the importance of blood purity. The family was labelled as blood traitors to fellow Purebloods and Bella ‘Rebel’ Farley and her brother even had to switch primary schools at one point (from Cambridge to Wigtown), because of intense bullying. Her younger brother, Jacob, or Jake for short, was already an outcast for being an openly gay man. Yet somehow, he never let the prejudices he was shown affect his love for the world they lived in. And while the optimism and hope he possessed should have inspired Rebel, she turned bitter out of jealousy. Because Rebel hated the world, it always felt like the world hated her back. So she vied for it’s and anyone’s love, adoration, and attention anyway she could. Rebel channeled the need for all the above into her athleticism and Quidditch on Slytherin’s house team. She hated the sport -- despised the long hours it took to practice, hated the pain her body went through thrashing a bat around every game, but the cheers and screams whenever she belted a bludger at the other team was everything she now lived for. They were chanting her name. Maybe they really loved her.

★ Eager for a taste of more (& the high life), Rebel tried out for the Wigtown Wanderers. At the time, they were the worst team in the league. Easier seemed to be the most followed path for Rebel, but thankfully she lucked out and was scouted by another team. Before her eyes, her entire life was finally becoming what she thought she always needed. The upcoming season, Rebel would be a starting beater for the Holyhead Harpies. She promptly dropped out of Hogwarts before the end of her second year, Pre-Healer degree thrown into the heaping pile of regrets while she pursued the only thing she now cared for -- popularity. And money, of course.

★ With her locked-in contract with the Harpies, she would never be without funds again, but this did not stop Rebel from being greedy (more greedy than she already was). She struck a deal with the Devil (not really, his name was Paul) and guaranteed him that the Harpies would lose their next game of the season by 10 whole points. This was during the 1979 season, one of their last games, and Rebel had been successful and earned herself a pretty penny in the process. Unfortunately, Paul had a big mouth and blabbed about the success to people he shouldn’t have. And by June of 1980, the news had gotten back to the owners of the Harpies and the world crumbled beneath her feet. Her contract was torched for violating the agreement of never intentionally throwing a game, especially for the purpose of gambling. Before Rebel knew it, every breaking headline now painted her as a disgraced villain. The only money she had now was what was left in her account, but that did not matter to her. Too little too late did she realize the galleons were nothing in comparison to feeling loved. Her feeling of worthlessness skyrocketed as fan after fan, woman after woman who had looked up to her for years, abandoned her once and for all. With Rebel’s fame, came notoriety. She may have been the most hated woman in the wizarding world now.

TW: mentions of murder, suicide, and gaslighting

POINTS OF INTEREST

★ The Wilkes, unlike most of the families listed as the Sacred 28, did not have much in means of monetary value to fall back and survive on. They were forced to become working class people, after the failure of yet another business idea of Rupert Wilkes. When two children came along, Devin and Drue, it only complicated things further. Thankfully, Lindsey Wilkes was able to salvage a hair dresser’s business in Diagon Alley, with a small flat above. It was much too stuffy for four people and while the adults complained and huffed, it was nothing but normal to their two children. Eventually, they were able to afford another business, just next door. They even had the opportunity to join the two flats above.

★ Owning the Junk Store, which worked like a wizard’s pawn shop, introduced the Wilkes to many opportunities they thought they’d never have. Most of the objects that came through their shop were faulty and Mr. Wilkes would spend hours trying to fix them -- success was 40/60. One day, something came through their shop he couldn’t pass up. A time turner. Months were spent, casting charms and spells to make it function good as new. And what do you know? Rupert Wilkes mended it. It became their family’s sole, greatest possession. The only thing of value to the Wilkes name.

★ Of course, having that much power would eventually lead to some trouble. In 1975, after Rupert refused to turn back time to save the family’s dying pet, Devin took it upon herself to steal the time turner. Fifteen year old Drue was woken from a dead sleep, to the sounds of screams. She always thought in a moment like so, she’d freeze up. But no, Drue ran on to her parent’s bedroom, and found her older sister standing over their limp bodies. Devin said only two words murder, suicide. Her life was now built upon this lie, because her sister refused to go back in time now and had much graver plans.

★ Devin never hid a single murder she committed from her younger sister. Family breakfast became confessional. Gory detail after gory detail, Drue knew if her sister did not slow down soon, she would be caught. Or become notoriously known. Either way, having the advantage of being two places at once seemed to lessen her chances of ever being arrested. But without Drue’s own sharp perception, she does not trust Devin’s sloppy ways and has vowed to assist her sister in her crimes. Drue’s become her own personal bait to lure in victims and participates in crime scene clean up. Now, in 1980, Devin has committed seven murders in the last four years. She believes spacing them out will draw away attention. Drue sincerely hopes so.

Extra HC Shit

She & her sister, Devin, claim their mum was a huge advocate for peace and muggleborns. They’ve even inspired people to start a foundation named after Lindsey Wilkes (who was allegedly murdered at the hands of her husband), which encourages blood unity through muggle sports such as tennis, bowling, and roller blading. They do not care if their pureblood allies believe them to be blood traitors. The end game is much more important -- you must be friends with your enemies.

Has never been too affected by the death of her parents, tbh? And though she lives this uncomfortable paycheck-to-paycheck life, she blames them for all of Devin’s disadvantages in life.

Works part-time at Junk Shop and the hairdressers called Hair Dahlia. There was no large inheritance when her parents died. They were left with more debt than anything and both had to continue working. Devin did not attend Hogwarts and Drue only got in on a scholarship for academics.

Working at the Junk Shop has turned her into a total COLLECTOR OOPS! But, she just collects the cool stuff that looks “artsy”. More so for aesthetic than function. Her dream of all dreams is to open some sort of art history museum in the wizarding world. Of course, the funds make it almost impossible to. She is majoring in History because of this, however. Might as well become rich in knowledge if you can’t with money, right?

Is a large participant in JWL and has never felt the need to exactly prove herself because of her lack of money. She feels her ideas and informative opinions are enough to carry her through. Maybe she’ll be so lucky to become President next year, with a little elbow grease.

Devin, her older sister is 100% a Death Eater. Drue’s in the process of being recruited. Which, she more than accepts. Their message is something she agrees with. Although, she wouldn’t be so messy about it -- it’s why she’s going to join. To reform the Death Eaters and keep her sister out of any crossfire.

Also speaks Japanese, is learning Latin, and is a fan of haiku, unironically.
