Effie Faraday
#1
In-Character
Full Name: Euphemia Georgia Faraday
Nicknames: Effie
Birthdate: August 20th, 1872
Current Age:19 years
Gender: Female, perceived as female
Occupation: Debutante
Reputation: 9 | The Faradays are relatively inoffensive and proper, but are palpably trying to become new money Upper Class.
Residence: London, England
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Wand: Fir, 10.5", dragon heartstring, whip
Blood Status: Halfblood
Social Class: Middle
Family: Barton Faraday | Father | b. 1832
A muggleborn inventor who has slowly clawed his way up the rungs of the middle class through the past decades of his life. Barton is an enthusiastic, if exacting, father.
Anna Faraday, formerly --- | Mother | b. 1843
Anna surprised her family by picking a man eleven years her senior for her husband, but she saw what her parents didn't: ambition. She is demanding that her children fit her expectations, but not necessarily in a harsh way - even Effie has to admit that she really does know best.
Erasmus Faraday | Brother | b. 1867
Erasmus is the most serious of the Faraday siblings, and works in the Ministry. No one knows it, but he's had his eye on an upper class girl for nearly a decade now.
Harley Faraday | Brother | b. 1871
Effie's Irish twin and frequent co-conspirator. He was born in November, so the pair shared a year and a house, and it's rare to see one without the other, although they are not actually twins.
Philippa "Pippa" Faraday | Sister | b. 1874
Pippa is frequently Effie's tagalong, and when Effie remembers that her younger sister is fun, they get along very well.
Warner Faraday | Brother | b. 1877
Warner was born the year of the witch riots, and his mother has blamed it for his hot temper his whole life. If you ignore how angry he is, he's clever and fairly funny.
Appearance:
General | Effie stands at a not-particularly-notable 5'2", with moderate curves and an average build. She has wavy blonde hair and blue eyes, and her facial features are best described as 'dainty.' The Faraday siblings are easy to identify when they're in a group, as they all have the same general coloring (and, unfortunately, the same cackle-like laugh.) Effie is privately left-handed, but writes with her right — she does favor her left for wandwork.
Expressions | Effie is almost always smiling. She attempts to tone down her expressions that she appears more measured, but when she thinks something's funny, her eyes crinkle up at the corners. A master of a well-timed pout.
Deportment | Wide, sweeping tendencies towards talking with her hands. Effie has a proper posture, a fluid grace about her, and bounces on her feet when particularly excited.
Fashion | Recent, fashionable cuts and fabrics in earth tones and pastels. Effie favors soft patterns.
Scent | A mint-and-lavender based perfume she has favored since fifteen.
Face Claim | Kathryn Newton
History: 1872: Euphemia Georgia Faraday is born, given a proper mouthful of a name, and promptly nicknamed Effie by nearly everybody.
1874: Pippa is born; Effie hardly remembers this, but she was rather excited.
1876: Seeking attention from the nanny, Effie demonstrates magic. Unfortunately, once she's given the attention, she realizes she can use magic to get it — this becomes a bit of a problem for a few months.
1877: The muggles are rioting, Mama and Papa talk about moving to Hogsmeade but never go, and the Faraday grandparents are very nervous about everyone getting found out. Warner is born on a hot, violent day that summer.
1878: Erasmus goes to Hogwarts; Effie is too young to be properly jealous of her elder brother.
1883-1884: Effie and Harley go to Hogwarts where they are both promptly sorted into Gryffindor. They share a house, several friends, and a tendency to get in over their head. They also spend a great deal of time dispelling the myth that they are actual twins. (Twins are bad luck!) The Faradays are left unscathed by the plague due to, probably, their father's status as a muggleborn.
1884-1885: Effie attends her second year. In June, Erasmus finishes at Hogwarts and goes on to a career at the Ministry, which likely suits him.
1885-1886: Effie picks Ghoul Studies and Divination as her electives for third year. Pippa begins at school.
1886-1887: Fourth year passes uneventfully, except for the added intensity of OWL exams starting to become a threat people talk about. Effie stops growing any taller, which is frustrating, because she had grand aspirations of being tall and intimidating.
1887-1888: OWL year! Harley has to take things much more seriously than Effie does, but she tries her best. She collects some scores she's proud of and some which she is decidedly not.
1888-1889: Warner begins at Hogwarts. Effie continues at the NEWT level with Herbology, Charms, Transfiguration, and Ghoul Studies.
1889-1890: Effie is secretly morose about her seventh year; she wishes she could stay in the safety of Hogwarts instead of the open hostility of the marriage mart. She debuts in June, and her parents ensure that she knows that she is to make an illustrious match, for the familial ambitions.
1890-1892: The pressure to make an illustrious marriage is starting to feel a little oppressive after a few completed seasons, but Effie is feeling confident about the upcoming year.
Personality: FRIENDLY | CHATTY | BOLD | KIND | PASSIONATE
