Blood Status: Half-Blood

Residence: A small but well-appointed townhouse in magical London.

Appearance
  • Ethnicity: Caucasian
  • Height: 5 feet, projected 5 feet 3 inches
  • Hair: Red, loosely wavy
  • Eyes: Grey
  • Wand Hand: Right
  • Build: Small and slight, she has begun the stage of life where rapid growth trades baby-fat for knobby knees and elbows. She appears almost brittle.
  • Attire: Neat, elegant, though often a couple of years behind the present fashion. Olive always dresses modestly, with few frills, and prefers muted greens and dusty blues.
  • Demeanor: Olive is a reserved, quiet creature. Not quite timid– she does not appear frightened so much as watchful, measuring her words and her movements with great care and with every ounce of the formality her tutor has taught her. She does not much like to stand out in a room, nor cause any sort of waves.
  • Play-By: Annalise Basso
History
  • 1880:Olive Penelope Norris was born into a humble life, the child of a working-class mother widowed far too young.
  • 1884Olive does not remember the Laughing. She does not remember anything before the Summer of ‘84, and much of what she does recall is fuzzy. A child’s memories, barely more than a toddler when her mother’s friend Pandora found her mother dead, and took Olive generously into her care.
  • 1885-1990
  • Olive grows up in a London townhouse in the care of a nanny and a tutor, and the passing presence of her savior. Desperate for Pandora’s approval, she dedicates herself utterly to her studies. There is little a child can do to be of use to Pandora, but if she learns well then perhaps someday she might join those friends she knows not to speak of.
  • 1891-1892Olive attends her first year at Hogwarts. She is something of a puzzle for the Sorting Hat– hating every second that she is perched upon that stool, the center of everyone’s attention. The relief when that Hat finally shouts her house– Hufflepuff, the home of the loyal– is nearly sickening. The year which follows is difficult for Olive. She is slow to make any real friends, wary of questions about her hazy origins. She adores her studies, but her timid nature makes her an easy target for bullying and gossip.
  • 1892-1893Olive’s second year comes somewhat easier. It is, she finds, far more pleasant to watch the Sorting Ceremony than to be sorted herself, and with some tentative friendships already formed she does not have to spend the beginning of the year so utterly alone. This, of course, does little to stifle whispered rumors about her birth. Many agree she must be a bastard, and her peers whisper speculation about whose, but it hurts… less. At least, she tries to make it hurt less.
  • 1893-1894Olive enters her third year at Hogwarts excited by the chance to finally explore her curiosities. She signs up for Ancient Runes, Ancient Studies, and Care of Magical Creatures. A full roster, and that suits her just fine. She would so hate to be called lazy.
Personality
  • Polite
  • Patient
  • Sincere
  • Quiet
  • Perceptive
  • Withdrawn
  • Cunning
  • Deceitful
  • Detached
  • Anxious
A dutiful young woman, attentive to her studies and eager to please, if not entirely prepared to be recognized. She prefers to remain in the shadows– out of notice, but also well out of reproach, preferring a private life to one of attention and glamour. She can be quite shy, preferring to listen to others discuss their day-to-day and share little of herself. Only that small handful of friends she has come to trust would know that she is an amnesiac, with next to nothing to discuss about her past– and those few would have had to dedicate quite some months to being called friends, let alone trusted.
