Appearance: Minnie is not considered as attractive as her older sister by some, however, there are plenty that would rank the sisters the other way around. With long shiny dark hair that curls just right whenever she wears it loose and a figure that has recently filled out to become more womanly Minnie Pendergast does not go unnoticed by young men for very long. She has big dark eyes and smiles at every opportunity, charming any and all that she meet, even though she seldom realises it. She has inherited her mother's height, just as Emma has, and stands at 5'5 and it took her many years to grow into her height and stop being quite so gawky. Minnie is a young woman on the brink of being a wife and lover to somebody and very soon she will discover her own appeal through someone else's eyes.

History:
1865: Born the second child and youngest daughter of Atalanta and Reuben Pendergast her birth marked a time of relief for her mother, that she could have more children at all, and disappointment for her father who was desperate for a boy. Despite that Reuben soon got used to his boisterous and happy child and Minnie never once sense anything other than love coming from him and always felt doted upon.

1867: Walter is born.

18670: Samuel is born and subsequently first shows signs of magic on her mother's birthday when her parents seem more interested in the new baby than then picture she has drawn for her mother and she makes her brother come out in green spots.

1873: Emma attends Hogwarts and Minnie is distressed to be without her. For all her sister’s faults Minnie will always adore her without question.

1876: Minnie attends Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff house like her mother before her. For the first time in her life she is exposed to other kinds of people and finds it difficult to adjust to the different patterns of speech and kinds of behaviour - she is by turn coddled and mocked for her own background, but with Emma’s intervention she is left alone and soon adjusts. She has a perfectly pleasant time at school although she sometimes struggles with the more regimented learning, having been more used to governesses and her education being an afterthought when compared to her brothers'.

September 1882: Enters her final year at Hogwarts, not at all sure what she intends to do once her education ends. She could be married off like Emma of course, but the thought of being tied down in society so soon scares her. Many of her friends, though not ones she is allowed to claim whenever she writes to her father or inevitably socialises with girls of her own crowd, have plans to go on to work for a living and she is covetous of their opportunities.

May 1883: Minnie leaves school and somehow, having managed not to embarrass herself at the Coming Out ball, almost immediately attends her aunt’s newly formed finishing school.

1883-85: Whilst under her aunt’s tuition, though she finds Olivia terrifying when compared to her sweet-natured mother and indulgent aunt Helena, she blossoms into a more assured young woman. She worries that she doesn’t seem to possess the same self-assuredness as her peers, or indeed her cousins, but she is much more prepared for a world of men than she was.

Summer 1885: Having left the safe haven of the PSYR the world crashes in on Minnie rather quickly when she is first caught up in the troll attack in the park - and manages to stun one, much to her amazement - and then ends up in the centre of a riot in London with her cousin Ellory. It is as a direct result of this that Minnie is moderately jumpy in open spaces and has a crush on her cousin Edward, who came to their rescue.

1887: Minnie once again ends up in the middle of catastrophe in a public place when she gets stuck on a maleficus carpet at the world fair and embarrass herself in front of a highly eligible gentleman. Later in the year her simmering fondness for Edward takes a backburner when he seems to lose any interest in her company.

Saddened, she is trying to move on without him on her mind.

Personality: Minnie considers herself a wholly unremarkable person. Raised by nannies and nurses, along with a generous helping of her affectionate mother and a father who, despite his attempts to remain aloof was charmed by his most energetic child, Minnie has never had any reason to feel alone or unloved and therefore loves others in her turn. Unlike her father she is no blood purist, however, she still found it difficult when she first went to school to reconcile the attitude she had been raised with to the exciting new people she was meeting.

These days she understands when to keep her mouth shut with regards to her family’s more extreme values and she has become much more adept at the womanly skills that will one day serve her well. She is beginning to become a little lonely though as so many of her peers seem to be getting married around her and she still has nothing to show for her years in society apart from a crush on her cousin Edward.

Other:
+ When she attended Pendergast School for Young Roses she shared with her cousin Rosalind.
+ Inadvertently develops crushes on inappropriate men at the drop of a hat.

Sample Roleplay Post: The labyrinth was awful. Minnie had been in mazes before of course but she had never been left alone in one and no maze had even been this dense. She wished she had brought her wand but generally she left it at home during balls and now she missed the security it brought – Miss Dippet was truly dedicated to the cause of frightening people!

Thus far she had been rather successful in avoiding any kind of encounter with a monster, though she had heard the screams of others and even though Minnie knew rationally that it was all made up she couldn’t help the sense of rising dread. Aunt Helena had jokingly tried to talk her into dressing as Rowena Ravenclaw but Minnie had persisted with her house pride: now she wished she had changed her mind as perhaps being dressed as the Ravenclaw founder would offer her clarity of mind and make this walk easier? If nothing else at least Rowena’s clothes would blend better than yellow and make her invisible to the monsters!

She turned a corner, reckoning that she surely must be close now and was greeted by the sight of a mummy lurching towards her. Letting out a shriek of surprise Minnie took several steps back but the mummy followed after her, gaining pace and grabbing hold of her in a most familiar fashion!

The intervention of Mr Percy Pettigrew could not come a moment too soon and Minnie felt an immediate sense of relief that she was to be saved when she suddenly found herself standing beside a man with an arm in his hands. Her mouth dropped open and for several seconds she merely stared at the arm, unable to bring herself to look at what was left of the mummy.

“I…I thought it was somebody dressed up.”
