❧ Political Activist & Suffragist ☙
First, thank you to Kit because I totally stole your coding for this. Anyway, hello, this is Miss Heather Parkinson, and she gets an introduction thread because she’s an adult and there’s way more people she can befriend than my other characters. Heather is the sixth Parkinson child and second daughter (first legitimate one) and when she was in school she was sorted into Slytherin, though she could have been a Ravenclaw. Heather is a seer, though all of her visions are in some sort of code with heavy symbolism so she has to decipher them herself in order for them to be of any use to her. Currently, she’s technically a debutante, having had both a Hogwarts debut and a private one, but she would most likely wish to be known for her political activism as she is known to organize rallies, write articles and pamphlets, and speak out about her beliefs which are pro-being and halfbreed rights, anti-classism, and support for women’s suffrage.
❧ school: Heather attended Hogwarts from 1885-1892 and was in the Slytherin house; she was most known for doing palm and tarot readings in the courtyard as well as her prowess in dueling club. She also became president of the divination club in her final year of schooling! If you were around at this time, maybe you knew her? I would love to do some past threading.
❧ activism: Do your characters sound like the type to attend a women’s suffrage rally or huddle into a public hall to hear talk about how we should give rights to everyone, including beings and halfbreeds or even how they should be doing more to help the working class? Maybe you know Heather from this! She organized quite a bit as well as written many pieces on the subjects; if you want to reference a random article or pamphlet she’s written or a rally you attended where you heard her speak in the background of a post, that’s fine, I wouldn’t mind it at all. During this election, she is a lot more politically active and has probably bugged your ministerial candidates for an official statement on their opinions about these subjects.
❧ friends: Though in her more private life, she can come off as a bit reserved or cold because she doesn’t trust anyone when she first meets them, she actually has a warm, kindhearted personality that is nice to be around. She’s definitely the big sister type, that, or the wine aunt who shows up with a bunch of gifts for your kids for no reason. She can be a bit chaotic at times, not having an issue with bending or breaking the rules to get what she wants; the idea is to just not get caught. If you’re a current member of Rip Van Winkle, you’re probably pretty familiar with this side of her because she can be herself and outgoing there. Depending on the level of friendship you’re on, you may even know her sexuality and her inclination for dressing in men’s clothing. She is fairly nonjudgmental and has a very live and let live outlook on life.
❧ enemies: Given she is an upper class girl who thinks her place is in a male dominated career and she has a thing for telling men nobody cares what they have to say regarding women’s suffrage among other things, and she’s a political activist in general, she’s bound to make quite a few enemies. Whether it’s women who don’t agree with what she has to say, maybe think she’s stuck up or doesn’t know her place, or it’s men who don’t like that she’s trying to change the status quo, Heather knows that she can be pretty unpopular in certain circles. Then, there’s her society life; she puts on airs, is polite and does her thing to make sure not to embarrass herself too badly, but it’s obvious she has little interest in finding a husband and she has turned down at least one man’s proposal before (if you want to be this guy, lmk) and that might make people not like her so much either. She doesn’t let these people’s opinions stop her, but she can be distrustful of strangers because of it.
❧ hurls: Despite the fact she has slept with one man (in her seventh year) and she did get proposed to once by a guy, Heather is very much a lesbian and has zero interest in getting married. It is her goal to dodge suitors until she’s finally a spinster so she can have the freedom to get started on a career - or wait until her father dies and go for it then. She supposes she would consider marriage if the other man was gay and it was some sort of lavender marriage thing, but there would have to be much discussion first; and that’s assuming her father doesn’t arrange something for her first. Heather has never had a long term relationship with a woman, she would likely tell you that both she and her brother are doing the whole rakish early twenties thing. She’s mostly just hooked up and done some flirting around, but she wouldn’t be opposed to something more serious one day. She and her “best friend” can live together forever and then confuse future historians.
