For Tess Whitby Sage Whitby Saffron Whitby Mia Whitby Enoch Prescott Declan Buchanan
The Whitbys are working class halfbloods and have been printers for several generations. Their mother died in 1879, and their father just in 1893 – so now Tess runs the printshop and tries to keep a handle on her sisters. All names/ages/jobs/faces are all pretty flexible.
AMBER WHITBY

B.~1879 | WCHB | PB: RHEA NORWOOD
The baby of the family, everyone hopes Amber will have an easier ride of life. Tess and the others have pushed the benefits of education upon her, which may have gone one of two ways while she is at school – she is
either precocious and hoping for a scholarship to see her through to NEWTs,
or growing rebellious against her sisters’ ambitions for her, and more inclined to be a troublemaker and follow her own pursuits. Quidditch, maybe? Something far-fetched that won't pay.
“SAM”

B.~1873-1877 | WCHB | PB: STEPHEN SANCHEZ
Printer’s apprentice and once-delivery boy, Sam got the job young, having not much schooling and needing an escape from his less-than-ideal family circumstances. Cheerful and mischievous, he has become an honorary brother to them all and always puts on a brave face, no matter the situation. He helps Tess, “Fabian” and “Declan” process print orders and is still in charge of transporting the bigger loads to the post office to be sent out, and likes experimenting with new materials and inking processes. When things get really rough at home, he can always count on the printshop to take him in. Reserved for Fawkes
Guidelines:
Show
- Please contact me before picking up one of my adoptables! If in doubt as to how to reach me, PM Elias Grimstone.
- Let me know if you plan to drop the character, temporarily or otherwise! If they go inactive and I don't hear from you, I reserve the right to put them back up for adoption.
- For the most part bolded facts are fixed, but (depending on the character) I might be flexible on some of the details, provided you discuss your ideas with me first!

Seraphina Bythesea — Played by Beanie
For Sera
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 ;)

HENRY BYTHESEA

B. 1850| UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | OPEN OCCUPATION
Sera and Henry met during her first season in 1878, but she dismissed him as boring and average-looking. A few months later, while she was cursed, she ended up courting him and they were married in 1879. Henry's occupation is hella open (but he is a second son, and it should be money-generating), but a few personality things aren't. Henry thinks his wife has been in a laudanum haze for fifteen years, and never tried to stop this; and he shows off the children, but is very emotionally distant/neglectful of them. Otherwise, his reaction to his wife's awakening is super open! Sera does not trust her husband, or particularly like him.
Pictured is Warren Kole, but PB is open (should be white.)

B. 1882 | UCPB | INCOMING THIRD YEAR
Algernon (of various nicknames - AB, Algy, etc.) is about to be an O.W.L. student, and is the child Sera has had the easiest time connecting with. He also has the most fraught relationship with his father, who is extremely strict/harsh with him. Otherwise, he's extremely open as his mother was under the imperius curse for much of his life. Algy was previously played, so should be registered with extra characters.
Pictured is Elliot Grihault, but PB is open - should be white.
