Kaatjie Spaans · December 5, 2024 – 5:43 AM

For Kaatjie

Kaat has lived with her Uncle Klaas' family since January 1893, and I am READY TO HAVE THEM PLAYED.

Hello friends! Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables:

Please reserve your character with me before apping!
Obviously, I'd prefer activity from anyone to take these on XD If, after six months, I don't think you're doing much with them (I have very lax standards, don't worry!), I reserve the right to ask you to give them up so someone more active may take them on.
I'll give you two weeks after losing a character in an AC before I put them back up for grabs! If you drop them via Maintenance, they become immediately available again. If you just want to temp drop them, talk to me first! :)
Anyone picking up one of my ads must include the family and personality sections. I provide the family in all my applications so just mentioning the names is quite fine by me. Personality can be as minimal as three basic traits, just so I know for sure that our ideas of the character mesh.

If you have any questions about any of the characters below, fire off a PM to Cassius Lestrange, catch me on discord, or stalk me in the cbox ;)

Klaas Spaans

MCHB| BEAUXBATONS | DUTCH AMBASSADOR / BUSINESS / HOSPITAL?

Kaatjie's uncle, Klaas (born 1855) was always a lot more responsible than his only sister — while Adriana was cavorting around Europe, impulsively marrying Don Juan Dempsey, Klaas was moving to Britain, establishing himself in his career, and marrying a responsible British debutante. He was softened by the death of his son, Willem, in 1890, and took time off work to care for his sister at the end of her life in 1892. In early 1893, Klaas brought Kaatjie to Britain with him, came up with a vague backstory for her, and was determined to keep her away from any of the Dempseys in order to avoid a scandal (but did tell Don Juan he would care for her via letter.)

Klaas was born in the Netherlands and attended Beauxbatons.

I think Klaas-ambassador would be funny so he has to deal with his feelings about Dempseys at the Ministry. Klaas is predominately responsible and stoic, but soft with his children and niece — and could be keeping additional secrets of his own. Pictured is Mike Colter; alternatives to be Black.

"Charlotte" Spaans née ---

MCAB | OPEN HOUSE | HOUSEWIFE

"Charlotte," b. 1858-1861, is Kaatjie's aunt — her natal family and her relationship with them are super open. She has a love match with Klaas, and married someone who was maybe less-established than her family may have preferred because of it. While the loss of two of their sons has made Klaas softer, it's done the opposite to "Charlotte" — who is trying very hard to raise her children to be the Victorian ideal. She has a particular focus on Kaatjie, given the drama of Kaat's mother, who she never met. (Adriana not attending the wedding was, at the time, big drama for Klaas.) Charlotte is not particularly thrilled with Kaat as their boarder, but really does not want her niece to know!

Pictured is Issa Rae, but play-by is wide open, including race.

Mila Spaans

MCHB | NOT GRYFFINDOR | THIRD OR FOURTH YEAR

Kaat's very cool older cousin, Mila is confident, determined to be popular, and perhaps a sufferer from Oldest Daughter Syndrome. Kaat very much wants to be like her, and Mila's willingness to hang out with a first year sometimes varies. b. 1880.

Pictured is Leah Jeffries, but PB is open as long as they're Black or mixed race.

Arie Spaans

MCHB | CHILD| FUTURE FIRST YEAR

Born in late 1883, Arie is immensely jealous that Kaatjie's at Hogwarts before him. He is also, probably, her best friend. Arie's personality is fairly open, but he's less excitable than Kaatjie and less confident than Mila — which is, sometimes, difficult for him. He is Very aware that he's his father's only boy, and may feel pressure because of it.

Pictured is Miles Brown, but PB is open as long as they're Black or mixed race.
