Advice Columnist, Former Slytherin, 20

• Is a quintuplet, but your character probably thinks he's a twin with his sister, Destrey.
  
• Trained as a Ballet Dancer
  
• Engages in Gender Bending
  
• Was neglected as a child, however a secrecy spell prevents him telling anyone this.
  
• Has generalised anxiety, occassionally suffers panic attacks.
  
• Sexually promiscuous
  
• Pansexual
  
• Recovering from an eating disorder (had nothing to do with the ballet)
  
• Kaiden Poliakoff's ex
  
• Dating Selwyn Thorfinn
  

Shylock is my second most popular character. Just because he's promiscuous doesn't mean he'll hook up with your character for no reason.

Destrey Ashcroft
DADA Professor, Former Slytherin, 20

• Quintuplet, most people think she's Shylock's twin
  
• Neglected as a child
  
• Was prone to pointless acts of cruelty as a child & while at Hogwarts
  
• Has a phobia of hospitals, clinics, and potions labs.  Can only go in the Hogwarts potions classrooms because they're so antiquated.
  
• Dabbles in the Dark Arts (or rather, doesn't believe dark arts is a useful distinction)
  
• Dissociative
  
• Provocative in all senses of the word
  

Destrey needs some more attention.  If you want threads with Shylock, consider her as well because she knows just how to manipulate him.  Otherwise, it would be nice to get her into some of the more shady dealings in the wizarding world.

Monroe Ashcroft
Head of Dept. Magical Accidents & Catastrophes, Former Ravenclaw, 22

• Quintuplet. 
  
• Neglected as a child
  
• Occlumens
  
• "Photographic" memory, especially for names & faces
  
• Utilitarian
  
• Lacks empathic concern, but can respond "correctly" through reasoning
  
• Conforms to social norms; doesn't understand them
  

Monroe needs some more threads to show his character.  He's pretty complex and has the potential to get really dark, but I haven't had the opportunity to show that side of him yet.

Angelique Pyrites
Death Eater, former Slytherin, 23

• The closest thing I have to a psychopath
  
• Lacks empathy, worry & regret
  
• Trained as a healer specifically so she'd know the most efficient ways of hurting people
  
• Never intended to become a Death Eater. In fact, she thinks they're stupid
  
• Incredibly self absorbed
  
• Will suck up if it seems like a good idea at the time
  
• More concerned with her nails than your life
  
• You can count on her to run from a fight (and then watch from a distance)
  
• Prefers mind games over physical torture
  
• Almost always bored
  
• Enjoys tying people up
  

Angelique is great fun if you want someone to put your character through some torment.  She's a bit of a bully (in case you haven't noticed).

Tifanie Bittel
Unspeakable, Former Beauxbatons, 22

• On the hunt for her sister, Caelani (former DE leader)
  
• Arithmancer
  
• Current project = Wizarding World Wide Web
  
• Grew up with her artist mum and drunken step-dad
  
• Came to Hogwarts for the triwizard tournament
  
• Bilingual - English + French
  
• Friendly, outgoing, laid back
  

I love playing with Tif.  She needs to harden up to find her sister and hopefully get in over her head.  Also, make some friends in the Ministry because why not?

Elliot Hopper
Geneticist, Medical Student, Muggle, 23

• Deeply distrusting of witches and wizards - suspects they're some kind of conspiracy
  
• Seems to have been suffering depression since he found out about the wizarding world.  Usually he's more upbeat than this
  
• Cynical & moody as a result
  
• Loves cooking, great with a knife
  
• Slow adopter of magic
  
• Prone to comparing the magical world to books, films & television
  
• Would probably be far less resentful if he hadn't been relocated to Diagon Alley and therefore failed his first year through non-attendance.
  

Elliot is fun & quirky.  He's like a grown up muggleborn.  He needs more attention!

Michael Corner
Healer, former Ravenclaw, Canon, 48

• Former Dumbledore's Army member
  
• No great fan of The Order or Potter's Army
  
• Specialist in Psychological Healing at St Mungo's
  
• His entire family are healers, actually
  
• Terry Boot's husband, Jenna Boot-Corner's biological dad
  
• Father was murdered by Voldemort's followers during his sixth year
  
• Was tortured so badly during his seventh year Terry still suffers nightmares over it
  
• Friendly, outgoing, optimistic
  
• Named after an angel and will come after you like an avenging angel if you hurt someone he cares about
  

An active healer character (who won't kill you)!  Michael's available for anyone who needs some help at St Mungo's.  He's dismissive of politics, so obviously someone needs to try and get him involved in that.

Jenna Boot-Corner
Ravenclaw Student, next gen canon, 17

• Michael Corner's biological daughter, Terry Boot's ward
  
• Member of Potter's Army, because someone has to look out for them.
  
• Her parents don't know; Michael would be furious, Terry would want to hear her rationale.
  
• Ravenclaw Prefect
  
• Very logical
  
• Tries to be friendly, it usually backfires
  
• Non-judgemental, although people seem to assume she will be.
  
• Has quite the flexible moral code.  She's willing to be persuaded.
  

Jenna is interesting and needs some more threads with other students before she leaves Hogwarts.  If you need a prefect (especially one who won't jump to conclusions) she's good to call.  If you want to try to subvert her, that might be fun too.

Bethany Dursley
Ravenclaw Student. next gen canon. 13

Bethany is new. She's Dudley's magical daughter. Don't tell me that's not going to be fun.

Calixta Montague
Slytherin Student, next gen canon, 11

• Firstie!  Everyone loves a firstie!
  
• Way too overconfident. Needs someone to bring her down a peg or two
  
• Has internalised blood-purism (eg, "I don't hate muggleborns, but...")
  
• Total suck up.  She'll do your homework
  
• Melodramatic, condescending, especially to people she perceives as inferior (ie, almost everyone)
  
• Pureblood Princess.  Genuinely enjoys the trappings of pureblood society.
  
• Actually wants to be betrothed as a teenager, get married straight out of school and begin popping out babies as soon as possible
  
• Incredibly spoilt, her parents constantly tell her how special she is
  

I am looking so forward to playing with Calixta.  She's naive in some ways but quite clever in others.  She'd never call someone a mudblood, but it's highly likely she'd accidentally offend many people.  Her parents have learned from Voldemort's mistakes and tried to go back to Slytherins being the gentry of the Wizarding World, so she should be interesting to thread with.

Malaika Abdalrashid
Hufflepuff Student, 11

• She's from Timbuktu, literally
  
• Speaks French, Arabic & English
  
• Friendly, sweet, thoughtful
  
• But can be cutting if you get on her wrong side
  
• Persuasive and even manipulative under the right circumstances
  
• Is Muslim
  
• Strives to be a better person at all times
  

Malaika is an intriguing character because she's not naturally nice or pleasant, and she doesn't just try to act that way to put up a front, she genuinely wants it.  I absolutely adore her and I have so much inspiration for her right now.

Ariane Catchpenny
Hufflepuff Student, 16

• Free spirit
  
• Rebel without a cause
  
• Bicurious
  
• Excellent at Herbology & Potions
  
• Has a sister in every year at Hogwarts
  
• Always assumes she knows best, loves being in charge
  
• Hates doing what she's told
  
• Contrary
  

Ariane is generally pleasant, although she enjoys needling people if she thinks they're too uptight.  She thinks she'd like to become a Bad Girl (the capitals are important) but she's probably change her mind if it actually happened.  So go nuts.
