KEEP IN MIND
Since Eva is an auror, every sister of hers takes a reputation hit to start off with. In addition, while the rest of the Danaher clan is considered a good and proper upper class fmaily, Alastair's family branch of the family is viewed as "lower" Upper Class due Sean Danaher’s horribly outlandish progressive viewpoints; now that it seems rather obvious their father’s eccentricities have rubbed off on not only his son but also his gaggle of girls, the general family reputation has taken a bit of a hit too! (Alastair, as a man, lost two points of reputation, so it’s likely the womenfolk below have lost more reputation points than that.)All of these ladies present as female, but that does not mean they themselves identify as women (or are even as straight as they appear) – Finola and Kathleen, especially, might not. Go nuts <3

The Danaher Girls
BRIANNA THERESA FLANNAGAN (nee Danaher)

housewife/soon to be mother
30 | hufflepuff alumna | ucpb
housewife/soon to be mother
Like many eldest daughters, Bri had a hand in helping her mother raise her younger siblings; her overly motherly nature was not a surprising nature. She, like Eva and Ena to follow, completed a full seven years at Hogwarts despite debuting in her sixth year. The embodiment of a Hufflepuff, she is fiercely protective and loyal of those she holds dear despite still being a proper lady; of all the children Sean has, she would likely be his first choice (outside of Al) to inherit the family shipping company – she’s exceedingly good with numbers and money. She is married to her school-sweetheart Johnny and, though she is a housewife first and foremost, maybe she has hopes of getting a non-income job someday?
Outside of her doting nature in Al’s backstory, I’d like to see someone really grow her character – especially with the fractures starting to form in this once cohesive family unit. Whoever takes her should also be willing to collaborate with Johnny's player, if he has one at that time!

ENA FLORENCE DANAHER

Eva’s identical twin (i.e. the two will share a play-by, the one who failed to make her dreams a reality. Even though both girls were fiery types, known to tease and poke and prod in a very unladylike manner, Ena was the actual instigator of the pair more often than not. Truly fearless – perhaps too reckless – she is brash and perhaps too honest with her open; a fact that has caused a wedge between her and Eva after her twin stayed in the Auror program (perhaps Ena, at first, encouraged her sister to stay when she got drummed out? But now regrets/is bitter over Eva fulfilling their shared dream). Though Eva is content to be an Auror, Ena had plans to become an Unspeakable, but those dreams lay in smouldering ashes in her wake. She spent a while after being dismissed from Auror training languishing about and being temperamental, but did eventually get a job as a columnist for either Witch Weekly or the Daily Prophet. While not as openly bitter about it all, she is still salty about the ways of VE society and is a proud feminist. Ena likely looks down on her younger twin sisters so “falling in line” with the status quo and isn’t shy about this opinion. With nothing else to lose, at least in her opinion, perhaps she’s set her sight on inheriting her father’s shipping company? (since, as everyone knows, Al doesn’t want it).
EVA RUTH DANAHER
28 | gryffindor | ucpb
auror
28 | gryffindor | ucpb
auror
Ena’s identical twin (i.e. the two will share a play-by), Eva’s achieved her dreams of becoming an Auror – but at what cost? It’s certainly hurt her reputation (immediate duction of 2 points) and caused tension between not only herself and Ena, but the other twins due to also harming the family’s overall reputation. Unlike Ena, Eva has, as she’s grown, learned to play her cards close to her chest: she’s become skilled at diplomacy… if one defines diplomacy as telling another to go to hell in such a manner that they happily ask for directions. Although somewhat opinionated, just perhaps not as much as her twin, she keeps most of them to herself – though she is, too, an avid feminist. She comes across as a bit of a flirt, using her words and teasing to side-step questions while extracting personal details from others. She’s been growing more and more distant from the rest of the family, even with three of her siblings living in London now, perhaps finally embracing a “lone-wolf” mentality with the growing distance between her and Ena.
LASAIR EFFIE DANAHER

Simple, soft-spoken Lasair has always been an altruistic soul, often putting the needs of others – especially her family – before her own; becoming a healer was really only an inevitably for her. She was likely, without her own knowledge, a bit of heartthrob in Hogwarts, though whether she ever reciprocated any crushes or had any of her own is up for debate (the former especially with Al glowering over her shoulder more often than not). She was very supportive of Al and his quidditch obsession, even going out of her way to help him study for NEWTs and has tried to be a similar pillar of support for her younger sisters, though to varying degrees. Lasair, honestly, wanted to be a creature healer but felt that was a step too far in the eye’s of upper class society – as much as she loves Eva, she’s not as selfish as to further hurt her sisters’, or the family’s, reputation any more than it’s already been injured. She does her part and participates in the seasons as they pass, but she’s does so half-heartedly because she knows her marriage will likely be the end of her career.
TARA HETTY DANAHER
20 | slythpuff alumna | ucpb
former psyr/debutante
20 | slythpuff alumna | ucpb
former psyr/debutante
Tara and Kara can be either fraternal or identical twins; if they are identical, the two will share a play-by but they only need to look similar to be fraternal – it’s completely up to whoever picks one of the girls first! Of the whole family, only Tara got to experience the unique terror of possible squib-hood growing up: she was a seriously late bloomer when it came to her magic, not showing any signs of her pureblood heritage until she was ten; she very likely suffered many slights from the more “proper” members of the Danaher clan and taunts of being a disgraceful squib. When she got her magic, it was truly a relief to her. Of the pair of them, Tara has always been Kara’s shadow – which could very well be attributed to the aforementioned late blooming – for better and for worse, so when Kara decided to go to finishing school, she was quick to fall in line. She is a former Penderghast Rose and is a credit to the school; though a debutante, she, like Lasair, is only half-heartedly participating in societal seasons (not that she’d admit such to Kara, who is trying to secure them both prosperous matches). She tries not to use her magic often, because her magic is and always has been weak and spontaneous in nature, which no doubt embarrasses her.
KARA JOHANNA DANAHER

Tara and Kara can be either fraternal or identical twins; if they are identical, the two will share a play-by but they only need to look similar to be fraternal – it’s completely up to whoever picks one of the girls first! Between the two, Kara has always been the leader and Tara the follower – and Kara is well aware of this fact. She no doubt took on this role early on in a bid to protect Tara from taunts and cruelty regarding becoming a squib – Kara grew up as an eyewitness to Tara’s struggles with being a late bloomer. She is probably intimately aware of her twin’s problems with her magic even today and she just wants her sister to have a happily-ever-after. She is ambitious in trying to secure good matches for not only herself, but for Tara. She likely seems selfish and like a busybody in this pursuit, but it’s hard to get under her skin. Kara, more than Tara, holds a grudge against Eva for hurting the family reputation before she could even debut. She might even be trying to help her other sisters that have debuted find “proper” matches, despite originally trying to distance herself and Tara from the more “embarrassing” members of the family while at Hogwarts. She does not like feminism.

One of the few students who exactly enjoyed her History of Magic classes at Hogwarts, Fi has always enjoyed reading about times long gone. While at school, she had dreams of becoming a magical archaeologist and traveling the world and uncovering its many mysteries; those dreams, of course, were never meant to be. She quickly discovered no one wanted to take a girl, let alone a woman on such ventures – it was simply not a woman’s field. In a fit of rebellion, she fought to stay in Hogwarts for another year after her fifth but ended up being so discouraged that she dropping out (to the horror of the “proper” Danahers). In order to make up for that rash decision, she agreed to debut immediately – if, of course, she could then become a tour guide at the Museum of Magical Miscellany in London (a deal that, surprisingly, worked). She currently lives with Alastair in his London flat and, despite his promise to make sure she participates in societal seasons, has managed to avoid at least some of that nonsense by playing on Al’s own lack of interest.

The surprise baby of the family and the last of the Danaher girls, Kathleen is a wildchild and always has been; she’s always on the move, always looking for the next big thing to tickle her family. Some might call her fickle but she just wants to enjoy her life. She’s probably a touch spoiled, with youngest-child-syndrome, and has likely been influenced by Ena more than most would like. She looks up to Alastair and is an avid Chudley Cannons fans, having joined all things quidditch related in Hogwarts in order to be “just like him”. She very likely has big dreams of becoming a professional quidditch player someday, like her big brother – but, first, she has to pass her classes.

Outside of his dogged persistence in chasing after Brianna Danaher in his youth, Johnny Flannagan is a very open-ended character in Alastair’s backstory; the biggest things about him are the fact he did end up winning Al over in the end and that he’s a scholarly type. He’s always been moony over his wife and worked hard to win over her family in order to court her (Brianna may have not stressed how important her family is to her, but he’s no stupid).
Whoever takes him should be willing to collaborate with Bri's player, if she has one at that time!
