Did You Know?
Queen Victoria was known for putting jackets and dresses on her pups, causing clothing for dogs to become so popular that fashion houses for just dog clothes started popping up all over Paris. — Fox
It would be easy to assume that Evangeline came to the Lady Morgana only to pick fights. That wasn't true at all. They also had very good biscuits.

Ingenious, really, and rather charming. So was she. (There was, at least, no harm in noticing.)

Profile
Full Name: Dorothea Rose Twycross

Nickname(s): "Just call me Dot! All my closest friends do, and I don't think it's worth having friends who aren't close. Am I a real Doctor? Oh, you must have seen the advertisement — DR are my initials, hence Dr. Twycross. Clever, don't you think?"

Birthdate: 9 April 1871

Age: 21

Gender: Identifies female, presents female

Occupation: "What do I do? Darling, what don't I do? I solve problems, is what I do. What that actually entails — well, it depends on the problem, doesn't it?" Consultant (for all manner of magical mishaps, maladies, and deeds past, present, and future)

Blood Status: Pureblood

Residence: Bartonburg South

Hogwarts House: "No, no, love; I was educated abroad. It may not seem as prestigious as Hogwarts but it allowed me the freedom to pursue my interests to the fullest. If I had gone to Hogwarts, I likely would have been a Slytherin; father always said so."

Wand:

Family: "I'm the baby of the family, and if any of my older siblings tell you that's why Mama has pampered me so — well, they're probably just jealous."
Appearance
General | I'm not exactly the wilting English rose; I get that from my mother's side. And I keep my hair a little shorter than what might be fashionable, but it's not as though anyone can notice when it's all done up, anyway. No matter; I like the way I look, and that's what matters, isn't it?

Expressions & Deportment | I do tend to bounce more than the average woman; you don't have to tell me, I've heard. What's the point of life if you aren't enjoying it, though? Anyway, I won't apologize for being happy.

Fashion | Fashion isn't exactly my top priority, but I do try to stay generally on-trend. Mama's help in this area has been invaluable; dear aunt Leona never had an eye for this sort of thing and hardly instilled one in me, either. Not that I hold it against her; we had so many more important things to think about.

Scent | I use a lot of incense in various consulting projects, so I've found it's best to stay neutral myself. I do have a lovely vanilla-and-honey perfume that I wear sometimes for special occasions.

History
1871The year of my birth, though of course I don't remember. My childhood was largely unremarkable (the very last part of my life of which one could say such a thing!)
1881In lieu of waiting another year for a Hogwarts letter, my mother made arrangements for my education abroad, under the care of my dear aunt Leona. Despite what my siblings have said about Hogwarts I have always believed my education to be superior, for all that it was sometimes lonely. I was able to pursue my true interests, which at this age mostly involved magical theory.
1885By the time I was old enough to be given allowances and pocket money I had developed an appetite for magical artifacts of all varieties, and I began to acquire them. I've amassed quite a collection now — I dare say most witches and wizards I meet wouldn't know how to use half the things in my inventory. They do come in handy.
1888Upon reaching the legal age of adulthood my parents assumed I would return to England, but I negotiated with Mama to stay another year with aunt Leona for personal reasons (although of course I did return for holidays and family events, lest you think me a negligent daughter!)
1889Father had thought I might be satisfied with a quiet marriage upon returning to England, but father has never really understood me. I had no desire to debut (at least, not in the way that he envisioned) and instead negotiated a little capital to begin a business: my consulting practice. He had his reservations (I believe he thought I might embarrass him), so as a compromise I initially worked primarily with Muggles I found through advertisements in the paper. Consequently I became quite good at Muggle post.
1891It's hard to argue with unbridled success, so father finally agreed to allow me to expand my business to Hogsmeade clientele. Not that I needed father's permission, exactly, but it is good to keep on the right side of those who own the house you live in.
1892Mama has decided that on my twenty-first birthday this year I really must have a debut, so I suppose I shall. It ought to be a lark, at least.
