H. Frances Gambol

MCPB | RAVENCLAW ('95) | BARTONBURG

WOW is the character bug ever bad right now. Anyways.

This young Miss is one Miss Harmony Frances Gambol. Like all of her siblings, she got her first name from a naming seer. Her middle name? That is purely a gift from her father's ego. As a child, she went predominently by Frances or shortenings thereof, which is a bit of bitter pill now that she's older and hates her father. So.

The key detail you need to know about Franny is that she was born to the upper class, with her family officially falling to middle class in 1890. The #FunFact detail about her is that her great-grandmother was Minister of Magic Ottaline Gambol.

ANTAGONISTS |

Franny has always done her best to be in harmony with those around her, but her family's rather public falling gave natural bullies ammunition, and may have caused hesitation, if not outright malice, from others. I am particularly interested in how this may have affected her relationships with the girls in her year and/or house: Isobel Valenduris Emma Flitwick Matilda Farris Jessamine Parkinson I already know Iphigenia doesn't care enough to antagonize xD

That said, if your character of any year, house, or sex would be inclined to give her a hard time, hit me up!

ALLIES |

I like alliteration, and this seemed fancier than 'friends'. Once part of a sextet, Franny is now part of a tight trio consisting of her cousin and a housemate, and it is these people that she trusts most and prefers to spend her time with. That said, she tends to be good-natured, and she would not be impolite (and certainly not mean) to others without being given ample cause. This means she absolutely needs others with whom she is friendly! Open on gender (though female/male friendships will look different than female/female), but probably people who are more relaxed, and (finishing) years 5-7.

CUSTOMERS |

For theory-based courses, Frances would have offered this year, to those who can pay, tutoring around exam season for students in years 1-5.

Alternatively: Look. Are you a lazy person with money? Franny may have done the occasional assignment for you in years 1-4. She would only do so for people who were properly discreet, and would have kept a very small client roster to limit her exposure.

But now, OH NOW.

Quills from Ceridwen

If one were to scribble the details of a written assignment on a piece of parchment, then place it in the cauldron of the statue of Ceridwen on the fifth floor with some money, one might receive via owl, within a few days, a single quill. When inked and placed in your hand, it will lead that hand upon a merry journey as it rewrites—in your own handwriting!—an essay sent by a person or persons unknown. After that, it’s best tossed in the fire, as you’d not want to get caught, would you?

(For some elective courses, alas, all you will receive in the post is your money back.)

INSTRUCTORS & CLASSMATES |

For electives (1890 - 1893), Fran took Ancient Runes, Ancient Studies, and Muggle Studies.

For her NEWT courses (1893 - Present), Fran has chosen to continue with Ancient Studies, Astronomy, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Transfiguration.

Franny is a keen student in class, often volunteering responses (though with more decorum than your Hermione Grangers). She is consistently on top of her schoolwork, which is typically done to a high standard.

Anything else you can think of? Get at me.

Eugenia would still be friendly, and likely would have tried to get tutoring sometime in the last school year for Astronomy (because she sucks at it haha), but she's also basically given up on the subject, so it would have been as a last ditch effort to improve her OWLs, but we don't have to thread it unless you want to! We could just thread them on a weekend over the summer otherwise. :D

they tell me i'm too young to understand

they say i'm caught up in a dream

Friends:
So Emma was probably quiet and didn't take too much of a part in picking on her - She might have sided with her following the engagement and jessamine parkinson deciding she's a target! She might work as part of the trio- if its not a specific wanted ad.

MJ Did Beautiful things!

Sirius Black would have lightly antagonized her but has probably forgotten by now

MJ made this!

Isobel has #ConflictedFeelings. On one hand yay women academics. In another hand she is horrified that younger Frances actually did people's papers for them and thinks she wisened up to stop (if she knew?). Otherwise she probably would have been quite friendly and probably a bit pushy about it due to Frances being related to a female minister and one of Sobie's idols.

Now... hmmm I don't think Sobie is too bother by the class drop itself? But looks poorly upon Frances's father for his vices. But she'd still be friendly and towards Frances her attitude would remain pretty unchanged.

Calla would have also been and remained friendly but it is Calla so that's no suprise.

look at the pretties mj made me!!!

Willa is friends with her sister (this time for real tho!) Has remained fast friends through the fall so Franny would probably see her around the house occasionally as she visits Lydie. Willa doesn't think less of them but probably does romanticize their situation in an unhelpful and potentially off-putting way occasionally.
