A ghost of a debunante who may have died on the ship and refuses to admit she's dead and keeps showing up at the season events and trying to snag herself a man, interact with her old friends and be a general socialite....

Obviously I would thread the hell out of this character with Ford. #ghostdebftw

When she gets too obnoxious Spirit Div can threaten to confine her to where she died (aka the Voyager) and Alfred can have some very affronted threads with her before it gets sorted out.

What I'm saying is I want it, please gimme

Combine with an anxious, or spineless family who doted on her and keep behaving as though she is still alive - hiring dress makers, hiring her a maid/chaperone, throwing her a coming out ball, organising parties and events for her season, paying someone to be a companion for her.

And because I recently read a list showing how often McKenna Grace has been used as a younger version of so many characters and pulled it off:

A young connartist (possibly with adult backing) who approaches men to convince them that they are their illegitimate daughter to estort them for money before disappearing and repeating the act.

Make it extra soap-opera-y by having one of the men she cons actually end up being her biological father.

Today's random idea: A working class character is blames their poor employment/unemployment on house elves and attempts to begin a crusade against them (whether or not people pay them any mind is up to you) - think peoples reactions to the ris of machines and automation.

Protests, letters to the ministry and department of beings, spirits and beasts and trying to stir up animosity against them. Perhaps attempting to interfere with their work or handing out free socks or tricking people into releasing themm or attempting to do violence against them or kill them.... Or the reverse Attempts to seem like a house elf sympathiser so they gain freedom/wages so that they as an alternative seems like a better employee. Idek the idea came from people ranting about the self-check out on Facebook.

A family/couple truly believe the end of the world is coming so they live every day by checking things off a bucket list/living very freely no matter the consequences since they believe everyone will soon die anyway.

Can we dance like we're all alone
Stop the time and make it still
Hold you like I always will

In some mc/uc family, it’s tradition for the eldest unmarried daughters to form a quartet/trio/whatever and play a concert every year for society…even though they are all awful at music.

  

So messing around with leap years and technicalities around birthdays was a common trope in Victorian comedies - given that Hogwarts letters and prohibitions on underage wizardry are based on birthdays:

A character who was born on the 29th of February 1852 who only reaches his 11th birthday in 1892 and can only then legally be issued with his wand, gets his Hogwarts letter etc. Or the ministry has CONSTANT problems with the spells that notify them of 'accidental' or underage magic triggering every time he casts a spell, because he's still technically underage - despite the fact he's seen 44 rotations of the sun!

AND/or he can't get his inheritance because it says he must wait until his 18th birthday, which isn't 'technically' until like 1920, when he's 72 and he's salty about it.

^  Look what Lady did  ^

The Hogsmeade Blacksmith who somehow ends up the cobbler for the Centaur community and is begrudgingly the go-between between the Ministry and centaurs because he is the only one both trust - inspired by this painting.

Because I'm clucky but babies are a bad idea for me rn (A friend of mine had a stray give birth to kittens recently so I'll get my baby hit when I sneak two I mean one of them into my house) but until then- one of the three Sanditon Female Sirens is desperate for a baby.... Too bad the only available male isn't maid inclined.

Que possible Sanditon hijinks of attempting to flirt, woo and barter (because who needs a man once the deed is done) with Kits poor man (sorry Kit. Didn't even ask if you want chaos but hence it's an idea...) And followed by potentially more chaotic attempts to adopt young of other species including humans but not excluding say seals, dolphins... birds .... Otters... Fish... (Turtles? Are there turtles that high up? I may need to learn more about English sealife. Don't judge me I grew up on the Barrier Reef and that's pretty much Finding Nemo)

Liliana wanted to watch 101 Dalmatians so...

"Anita" has recently married for love leaving her old rather eccentric school friend rather disgruntled with the match. Anita is left trying to juggle the fact that her good friend and her husband really don't get along and are constantly bickering and sending barbed insults at each other.

However when a kidnapping or other crime ups the ante (Cruella may or may not be innocent but Roger insists that she's guilty and must be investigated multiple times) it starts put friction on the relationship.


Alternatively something for the ministry: a person's love of rarities/fur has her kidnapping rare species/pets/endangered animals.
