For Desdemona
Hi! My adoptables are pretty rules-light. Just let me know if you want to take one on, and I'll reserve. I'm not the most active at the moment, so I'm not going to expect perfect activity from anyone! Just do me the courtesy of letting me know if you intend to drop your character, whether temporarily or permanently. I know my adoptables aren't necessarily the prettiest, either.
Edgar Ravenswoodb. 1830 | UCHB | Ravenclaw Class of '48/49
Respectably Employed | Rep 9
Edgar truly loved his wife, and adores his children in his own way, especially after the struggles he and Margaret faced with infant mortality. He didn't interact with them much until they were about to start Hogwarts, at which point he personally escorted each of them for school shopping. He especially took an interest in his sons, though he didn't neglect his daughters — he just didn't know how to connect well with them. His wife's passing hit him hard, and he didn't reenter society until his youngest was entering Hogwarts. He enjoys dogs, and has given each of his children a different pup as a graduation present. Pictured is Anthony Head, with alternatives to be age-appropriate and white.
Cordelia née RavenswoodReserved
b. 1862 | UCHB | Ravenpuff Class of '80
Socialite | Rep 9
As the oldest, Cordelia grew up with the weight of responsibility on her shoulders. Do decently in school. Marry well. Become a decent mother. She looked up to her own mother quite significantly, so Margaret's death in 1884 was quite devastating. She has since taken it upon her shoulders to guide her young sister, while also working hard on being a good wife and socialite for her own husband. Cordelia has at least two children of her own at this point. Pictured is Vera Farmiga, and I'm quite set on her for Cordelia, despite her being much older than the character.
Mercutio Ravenswoodb. 1867 | UCHB | Ravenpuff Class of '85/86
Respectably Employed | Rep 9ish
The Responsible Brother, the Heir, the Golden Boy. Mercutio was quite the dedicated student, and even offered to tutor his younger siblings (primarily over the summers) in subjects he was skilled with. He took a full schedule of OWLs and NEWTs alike, and may in fact have become a healer post-graduation, but that's obviously open to interpretation. His future, however, is quite secured as the heir to the Ravenswood fortunes. He counts as an eligible bachelor. Pictured is Toby Regbo, with alternatives to be white and appropriately respectable-looking.
Hamlet Ravenswoodb. 1870 | UCHB | Gryffinpuff Class of '88
Layabout | Rep 9
Hamlet entered his final year when Des started her Hogwarts career. He barely had anything to do with her over that year, but not out of any particular malice. He simply didn't have time for her, between his class schedule (which he took anywhere from four to six courses), his social circle, and his extracurricular interests. He may have been a Quidditch player, much to his father's chagrin; if this is so, he suffered a career-ending injury in the last few years and has spent his time since doing nothing in particular. Pictured is Jack Quaid, with alternatives to be white and preferably kinda goofy.
