THIS IS — DIANA, formerly known as Duchess;
Diana Selwyn 42 | ucpb rep » 6 | probably divorced previously assumed dead | ~ Legend goes like this: 14 years ago popular socialite Diana Maxime (nee Selwyn) visited the Hogsmeade zoo with her three little children in tow. They were never seen again. Investigators found Diana’s wand, and a ribbon that belonged to her daughter. It was all over the news. The official story? Foul play suspected, but nothing ever turned up. The society story? Diana had very public fights with her husband and a violent confrontation with her husband’s mistress. Did she find a way to flee to the continent once and for all, or was their end more grisly? Either way, the world moved on. Her husband even remarried (the mistress). What really happened: She was turned into a cat by an evil butler named “Edgar.” Headcanon is that Edgar works in a weird crime ring with whoever was off turning people into animals early this year and tangentially related to the mistress that Diana publicly humiliated. ~plot entries~ As a cat, her name was Duchess. She and her cat-kids lived with a muggle Duke and Duchess up until the woman died ~2 years ago, which separated the family. What now: This summer, she found her way to Hogsmeade where she became Basil Foxwood's beloved pet. She moved with him to Hogwarts for the school year. This side of December, Basil will figure out she is no ordinary cat, and she’ll be returned to her human form. I really want to milk the fun awkwardness that comes with someone you thought was dead, coming back to life. <3 Some openings include: Family: She is Nephele Lestrange's sister and (ex) aunt of Timoleon Maxime. Please send me Selwyns & other UCPB families who can be shocked? pleased? dismayed? with her return. Hogwarts students or professors: Could do like 1-2 more threads where Di is still a cat. Tell or show her your secrets to make it max awkward later. Old connections: UCAB friends or rivals, she graduated Hufflepuff 1861 (5th year) and had many good parties. Were you at her funeral? Breaking the news: The fact that she's alive will be kept under wraps for now, but it won't be for long. Let me know if you want scoops/gossip. Ministry involved: Di may need a trip or two to the ministry. Could be chats with investigators, Wizengamot or something for identity creation & legal proceedings. She'll be aggressively pursuing getting what she's owed now that her ex-husband is a divorcee not a widower. She'll also be on a campaign to find her children who she says are still alive. Cat owners: Listen. She just wants to make sure your cat's not her kid. That's all. Involved in what 'really happened': Always down to chat |
