Welcome to Charming, where swirling petticoats, the language of flowers, and old-fashioned duels are only the beginning of what is lying underneath…
After a magical attempt on her life in 1877, Queen Victoria launched a crusade against magic that, while tidied up by the Ministry of Magic, saw the Wizarding community exiled to Hogsmeade, previously little more than a crossroad near the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. In the years that have passed since, Hogsmeade has suffered plagues, fires, and Victorian hypocrisy but is still standing firm.
Thethe year is now 1895. It’s time to join us and immerse yourself in scandal and drama interlaced with magic both light and dark.

Yassine Bensouda
36 | Beauxbatons | UCPB | Rep 6
Coach for the Montrose Magpies
Coach for the Moroccan national team who stuck around to take on the British quidditch league. He's not in a rush to settle down, but wouldn't mind a fun foreign wife - and, in the meantime, he likes parties.
What They're Looking For
UCAB, maybe MCAB. PB in theory but he likes being a disappointment to his father.
18-28.
Strong society and/or quidditch connections.
Fun at parties.
Cares about quidditch, or can pretend to.
What I'm Looking For
Someone who can endure his ego.
Honestly I don't care if she hates quidditch, this will infuriate him but maybe he'll deal.
Someone already ~attached to someone else he will flirt with anyway.
Octavia Fawley
18 | Hufflepuff, Class of '90 | UCPB | Rep 10
Debutante
A romantic at heart, Octavia Rose might lean a bit towards smothering with those she cares about but means well. She's never really met a stranger and would give you the clothes off her back if asked for but in turn is a bit naive and oblivious to those trying to use her or any kind of danger. While not selfish, she tends to be a bit self-obsessed and often does not think about how her actions might impact others or what others might be going through. She talks... a lot.
She isn't really that great of a witch nor very academically inclinded bit fancies that she would make a great hostess. As a child, she disliked sitting still and was often found playing games and running outside. Now she has suppressed this but I could be coaxed back out.
What They're Looking For
UCPB
25+ if the firstborn, 28+ otherwise up till late 30's. In her mind this has wiggle room.
She is a die hard romantic and would love to marry for love but prioritizes her comfort and her parents' wishes above all else.
She has a slight weakness for the 'knight in shining armour' and 'flirty mildly bad boy' types.
I really cannot see her willing to marry down a class but maybe if she starts to get worried then a UCHB that doesn't have close muggle ties.
She is bi and while she has passively thought some women were attractive she's never thought more than that but someone to make her realize that she could be interested in women sexually as well as men.
I could see her potentially being very interest in physical affection (mostly kissing but potentially premarital sex if she fancied herself in love and courting/engaged).
Once married maybe affairs depending on how much attention her husband gives her? And frankly she might be open to her husband having affairs as well as long as no bastards are involved.

January is the sister of February Umbridge. She is shy and soft spoken upon first meeting someone. She enjoys Quidditch as a spectator though that might have more to do with the men then the sport. She is pretty sweet but can be a little temperamental and high strung. She is also into Herbology and Gardening.
@'Daffodil Potts'
21 | Ravenclaw, Class of '88 | MCHB | Rep 8
Florst/Accountant at The Florist Potts
Mellow; spacey; intuitive; flighty; can be perceived as naive; sweet; caring; book-smart; gentle; basically she’s a bit of a hippie (think Luna-esque) who enjoys plants as much as she enjoys people. She takes things and people as they come and is unafraid to chat with just about anybody. She can be a bit of a flake, so will need lots of reminders during social things, but has a good heart that can easily be taken advantage of.
What They're Looking For
Noble, sorry fam, she smitten.
What I'm Looking For
MCAB
28+ and established, seriously considering settling down.
Basically I would like somebody who is in a GOOD spot to settle down to take a shining to her so that her family might consider pushing the issue. It's time to rock the boat peeps!
Also Open To
A gent who would take advantage of her sweet nature and family position, somebody who is in dire straights and looking to marry into a comfortable family, but looks decent on the outside.
Tabitha Chevalier
22 | Hufflepuff, Class of '87 | MC half-veela | Rep 7
Potion & Plant Poisoning Healer, HH
The opposite of most half-veela women, Tabitha has spent most of her life trying to lay low and simply do her work. She has worked hard to quell her veela nature, though she does slip sometimes when upset or frustrated. She's demure and soft-spoken, good at her job and wants nothing more than for someone to look past the pretty face and actually get to know her, which is hard.
What They're Looking For
MCAB
27+
Obviously no problem with her half-veela heritage (though if his family does, that's a nice bonus drama); she wants somebody to really get to know her, who would take that time. Probably somebody kind and patient with her. Somebody willing to let her to continue to work.
What I'm Looking For

I don't have much really, but the more drama the better!
Gale Buckley
29 | Slytherin, Class of '80 (Dropout '78) | WCHB | Rep 8
Whizzhard Books Manager
A soft-spoken, sweet sort of guy, Gale is quiet and observant, steadfast and reliable. He's quite bright, despite his poorer upbringing. He's a bit of a romantic, but not overly outgoing, nor shy. He just kind of there when you need him. He can come across as standoffish, but genuinely cares for those he is close to
What They're Looking For
WCAB
18-25
He would like a lady who also likes to read and discuss literature, possibly someone a little more outgoing who could pull him out of his shell. He had a steady job that he doesn't plan on leaving anytime soon, so he could offer a comfortable Pennyworth lifestyle.
What I'm Looking For
Drama, the more inappropriate the hurl, the better!

Nicolette Fernsby
Age 18 | Ravenclaw, Class of '91| MCHB | Rep 8 | Currently a student
A brief personality description of your character!
What They're Looking For
ACAB - She honestly doesn't care but PB's better have tolerance for mixed heritage because firsty she's not exactly pure herself nor does she hold much stock in it.
Age: is a number? Though obviously the stable thing is a big deal.
Other Aspects: She only cares about deserved reputation - poor through any fault of your own and she'd have to ponder the what it is..
What I'm Looking For
ACAB
Age - "not too old"
Other Aspects - tbh I don't really know. I've never had a debutante before and my romance chops are very.... whole pig. Her elder sister is on the market (and probably recovering from the cruise from hell) at the same time so Nicolette isn't much going to put herself out there because of that. Nicolette isn't the most grounded of individuals (she is an artiste) so she needs somebody who can provide stability and balance to her wild ideas and likely some means to achieve them though but... We rarely get what we need. I'll fill this out better when I have a better grasp of her desires on the matter.
Also Open To
ACAB
Age
Other Aspects: any ideas.

Bellona Zabini
23 | Slytherin, Class of '85 | UCHB | Rep 7
Bellona Zabini has always been the sort to adapt to survive in whatever social situation she finds herself. Even from a young age, she recognized that while those at the top received prestige, they also had the furthest to fall—thus, she takes to surrounding herself with the successful, but strives to remain slightly closer to the ground herself.
Though she has burned a few bridges in her past (and is especially gifted at holding a grudge), her loyalty, once earned, is difficult to lose, evidenced by the fact that she could not cut her mother altogether from her life.
What They're Looking For
UCPB
30+
Reputable
Noteworthy - well positioned in the Ministry, highly viewed in society, etc.
Holliday Fudge
18 | Ravenclaw, Class of '91 | MCHB | Rep 8
Holliday is a bubbly and social young lady—when circumstances allow for it, at least. Hers is a curious nature, and events of the past few years (notably her friend's turning into a werewolf) have made her take an interest in progressive politics. She is a loyal and clever young lady who seeks a semi-quiet, but not isolate, future.

Assistant Head of the Department of Magical Games & Sports
Victor is an eligible bachelor and he knows it. He just kinda hates it. He knows his job is to find a proper wife, but he's not entirely sure he wants to find one. He's traumatized from his short, brief Quidditch career, but also misses being out on the field.

Angeline Malfoy
23 | Slytherin, Class of '85 | UCPB | Rep 9
Debutante
Angeline is friendly and easily led but fortunately she has managed to avoid scandal so far. Charming and effervescent when she's in good spirits she has been known to overindulge in champagne and laudanum, the former in public and the latter mostly in private. She would, however, be an advantageous match with numerous connections, a fortune of her very own and a sexy brother to be your friend.
What They're Looking For
UCPB
28-40. Angel is absolutely not here for the old dudes.
Rich, as handsome as possible, slightly romantic.

Same as above but if she's able to fool him into thinking she's a perfect angel then that works.
Also Open To
MCAB
If she's middle class but has everything else going for her and he's warmed to her enough it might fly.
Poor life choices marriage also a tentative option but he'd have to have no other way to avoid a scandal because he'd rather just nope on out of there and be a dick about it.
@'Angelica Vorona'
30 | Slytherin Prefect and Head Girl, Class of '78 | MC*PB | Rep 9
Arithmancy Professor
Angelica is a force of nature, think fire given flesh. She's ruthless in competition, assertive and decisive in action, and all sensual smolder beneath the surface. Angel was widowed young and, instead of returning to her father's house and the Upper Class, chose to return to the UK as a member of the Middle Class to dictate her own future as a professor. Let's not ask her about her abusive late husband or how much she wants for a family of her own.
What They're Looking For
UC/MCPB
35+
Reputable/successful in his own right
Intelligent, willing to have substantial conversations with her.
Mandetory: Has or wants children
Affection for her, if not love
She still thinks she wants a traditional marriage and as many children as she can have, the poor thing thinks she's driving the truck here. Lol.
What I'm Looking For
UC/MCPB
30+
Some of the above, but mostly negotiable
Has to give her space/at least tolerate her working for now
Able to stand up to her/keep her on her toes, if she can walk all over him, she'd actually hate it
Sexual and secure enough about it that her sex drive isn't a threat to his ego.
Someone that forces her to rethink her version of success/happy marriage.
Someone to lead her down/indulge her curiosity in the sexual and decadant.
Worldly, enjoys travel
Emrys. Basically Emrys. How did this happen?
Also Open To
The great on paper would kill him in person hurl.
What would happen if she and one of the old year mates even attempt to mingle? Interested to see how quickly that results in a total meltdown.
Any scenarios that up the stakes and leaves her indecisive and questioning everything, because I'm cruel.
Darling Whitledge
18 | Hufflepuff Class of '91 | UCHB | Rep 9
Soon to be Debutante
True to her name, Darling is an absolute darling. She is sweet, generous and kind. She is very much the epitome of a Hufflepuff. She is gentle, soft-spoken and compassionate, even once heading a petition campaign to have the half breed ban lifted back 1887. She very rarely raises her voice and is slow to anger, instead being more disappointed then angry which might actually feel worse for the other person. She is loyal to a fault and cherishes her family and friends deeply.

No immediate family scandals
What I'm Looking For
