The Midwives of Mandragora Abbey

❧ GUIDELINES ❧

Show

❧ Consult me please before you claim any of my bbies!
❧ Reservations last two weeks, after which they will be put up for adoption again unless I hear otherwise.
❧ In the same vein I'd prefer you to keep them active, however if you're having trouble juggling real life just shoot me a message and we might be able to work something out.
❧ If your character goes inactive during an AC, I'll talk to you and see if you're planning on reviving them!
❧ When making your app, please include a full personality section (really, a brief paragraph will do) and immediate family section! Most of the family section will be readily available via my characters.

Last updated: 10 Sept 2024

A note about my adoptables: Welcome to the manifestation of my re-watching and reading of Call the Midwife! A lot of the qualifiers that I include are extremely flexible! I'd like the personalities and backgrounds to match at least a little, but I am also quite content for things to change or switch around <3

“Prudence”

Operating as the head of the Abbey, Prudence takes on the brunt of the responsibility in both overlooking the midwives’ schedules and the running of the Abbey. This includes maintaining the separation of the muggle and magical communities as well as making sure the Abbey has sufficient funds, which more often than not means planning charity balls and partnerships - the part she detests and often hands off to one of the more senior members if she can. Pictured is Golshifteh Farahani with alternatives to be POC

“Temperance”

Hailing from a high-society muggleborn family, she caused an absolute scandal amongst her family when she got a letter from Hogwarts. It was by the gracious nature of a benevolent aunt who convinced her family to let her attend. Even so, when she left Hogwarts, she was expected to re-integrate back into Muggle society. And then, horror upon horror! She announced her desire to become a healer; and not only a healer but a midwife at the Abbey working with magical elves. What would the rest of the family say? Of course, nothing, because they’re forbidden from saying anything about the magical community, but that’s almost #Worse given the rest of the family have the collective creativity and imagination of a pile of wood chips. Pictured is Caroline Forsling with alternatives open!

“Hope”

Played by KAYTE as Holliday Fudge
She comes to the Abbey as an optimist, to put it plain and simple. She came from a good family with a good reputation and a good family dynamic. She has never known what it’s like to wonder where her next meal is coming from. She’s certainly pretty enough to have gotten employed somewhere where the hours were light and the labor even lighter, but instead she’s chosen midwifery. She thought training was gruesome, but she’s about to get a huge awakening into just what it’s going to require of her.

“Justice”
To say that she has quite the Cinderella story is an understatement. Another muggleborn, Justice was born into abject poverty among the worst of the worst. Left on her own to fend for herself at the age of 4, Justice found her way to a nearby church where she was subsequently adopted by a pastor and his wife. Born from nothing, Justice is true to her moniker and fights for those who do not have access to healthcare as easily. She likes to prioritize taking care of those born into the same conditions she was, both magical and muggle; this aspect (especially where muggles are concerned) takes some tiptoeing around, however she strictly adheres to the rules of Magical Society (however much she might hate it). Reserved for EMMA

“Faith”

She’s a favorite amongst the Matrons of the Abbey, and that solely has to do with her voice. A low and husky, it’s as if she can talk for hours and hours on end and be completely content in the world. She doesn’t get very phased by anything, including tricky births. She has a lively flirtatious side that most if not all inhabitants of the abbey are subjected to, and is often the one encouraging the others to go out for a drink or night of dancing. Pictured is Isabel May, with alternatives open!

“Courage”

A dark horse if there ever was one. Courage was another midwife born into poverty, however she was born into a magical family who managed to do quite well for themselves given the circumstances. She is a bit rough around the edges, and tends to clash at least with anyone born to a higher rank than her (re: everyone); not out of jealousy, but out of extreme mistrust. She will be your friend until the end, but you must earn it, and earn it well. She takes her role as a midwife extremely seriously and she will not tolerate anyone who speaks against it. Pictured is Daniela Washington, with alternatives open!

“Fortitude”

Dearest “Fortitude”, is the common saying around the Abbey. Having failed her examinations twice, she is now going for a third time. In addition to studying a third time for her examinations, she is also rather clumsy to a disastrous extent (don't ask Prudence how many medical instruments Fortitude has broken or knocked over in the past week). She perseveres, however, and she does it with gumption and eagerness. Pictured is Samantha Ellsworth, with alternatives open!

Welcome to your seduction ;)  Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables:

Show

• Please reserve your character with me before apping!
  
• Obviously, I'd prefer activity from anyone to take these on XD
  
• I'll give you two weeks after loosing 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.

"LUCY"

B. 1872-1875 | MCHB/MCPB | NOT RAVENCLAW | DMLE (SEE BELOW)

"Lucy" left school after her father's passing in her fifth year. After all, she was only ever going to marry and be a wife and mother—just like her own mother. The eldest girl of at least three, though with a twin brother, "Lucy" has always had a strong sense of duty and been the more responsible sort. This is in particular contrast to her brother, who fucked off to Greece with all the family money. With a Mr. Collins-esque cousin—next to inherit—breathing down the family's necks, "Lucy" felt as though she had two options: marry him (ew), or pull an Amanda Bynes in She's the Man and pretend to be her twin. She chose the latter.

She took a job as an intern in the DMLE in 1893, where she met George Waterford (they did not have much overlap at school). George seemed to pay her particular interest—which struck Lucy as incredibly odd, given that she was ostensibly a man. After about a month of this behaviour, though, George revealed her secret and awkwardly corrected a couple of lapses that Lucy had been making in her efforts to "be" her brother. It wasn't only their shared secret and their shared profession, though: the two genuinely got on, and were fast friends. George (as Georgia Montgomery) even very occasionally goes out and about with Lucy and her sisters.

Her (his? their?) feelings on gender are wide open. As far as George knows, "Lucy" is just playing at being a man to help her family. This may well be the case, but she could also she's more fluid or trans—whatever works for you! She is currently either a second year Ministry intern, a generic employee, or a first year clerk (if going into Law). Ethnicity and face are wide open; pictured is Liv Hewson.

Potential Ties: Alexander Waterford Thomas Montgomery; the rest of the DMLE; similarly-levelled Ministry

MISS PAYNE

B. 1877-1879 | MCHB/MCPB | RAVENDOR | FOURTH-SEVENTH YEAR ('94)

"Winsome"'s father is a staunch traditionalist. You do X because everyone else before you has. Oh, you're a woman? Guess you're getting married, then! "Winsome", it is worth noting, is not—and, indeed, actively wants to go into the law however much her father insists that she mustn't. She had some overlap at school with George, who actually tutored her in [insert subject her] at one point; the two have been acquainted, but not at all close, since they were very young. She does know, though that George is going into the law, and her father insists George will go on to join Pankhurst, Waterford, & Payne (why wouldn't he follow his father's footsteps?!). So perhaps, Miss Payne thinks, George might be her in. After all, if Waterford and Pankhurst are both on her side, surely her father will have to relent and allow her to join the firm... Ethnicity and face are wide open; pictured is Sarah Desjardins.

Double Duty: Girl Maeve,

MR. PANKHURST

B. 1820-1835 | MCAB | OPEN HOUSE | SOLICITOR

Along with Mr. Payne and George's late father, Mr. Pankhurst is a founding parnter at Pankhurst, Waterford, & Payne. He is generally good natured and is the solicitor George uses for property matters and the like following her father's death—Payne was actually the one to meet with her after her parents passed, and she Did Not Like Him. George does not have a parental figure at all (#aggressively an orphan), but Pankhurst is growing rather adjascent to that territory. Ethnicity and face are wide open; pictured is Simon Russel Beale.

JUNO PUCEY

B. Jan. 1878 | UCPB | RAVENDOR | SIXTH YEAR ('94)

NOT TWINS. For the last damn time! Sure, they look eerily alike in the whole face region (PB is Mia Goth, but could be blonde!), but legit, they're just cousins. They don't even get along, and indeed spend most of their time not together, as most of their classmates should have recognized by now.

Where Polly is outgoing, athletic, and confident, Juno is reserved and prefers books and the arts. As a modern gal, she would no doubt embrace the dark academic aesthetic just because it's her. She is incredibly intelligent obtaining high marks in all her OWLs. Though no one but those closest to her know, she hopes her elder sister marries incredibly well so that she may simply become an Unspeakable. None of the Puceys know that Juno has any inclination towards a profession, and she intends to keep it that way until she can't really avoid telling them.

Regarding her uncle's death, she (quite rightly) does not harbour any guilt. It was a freak accident, for which she is not at all at fault. Still, she misses him dearly, as she grew up loving him and Aunt Cosmina almost as much as her own parents.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast
Potential Ties: Imogene Paxton Louisa Clearwater; other Hogwarts staff & students

COSMINA PUCEY

B. Jan. 1878 | UCPB | SLYTHERPUFF | WIDOW

Cosmina Pucey has never been alone. She shared the womb with her twin sister, with whom she was altogether linked until the two married—in the same ceremony—twins. Indeed, the couples went on to live side-by-side, and raised their families together. While she still lives in that same house, with her sister and brother-in-law right next door, her husband's death has left her feeling entirely adrift. She has always been one half of a set, but now, one of those sets is incomplete—and she has to face grief alone, without a companion who understands what she's experiencing. It is a daunting task, one that she is not certain she is up for, and one that has left her feeling incredibly vulnerable.

For most of Polly's childhood, Cosmina was the main driver of the notion that Polly and Juno should be just as close as Cosmina and Callista have always been. Socially, she is known for executing excellent events in tandem with others (sister, organizations, etc.) but remaining modest when the time comes for taking credit. She and Callista were in the same house at Hogwarts. She does not think quidditch a suitable occupation for a woman, and would not allow her daughters to play. She does not know about the Kingsley situation, but of course knows about the girls. Suggested PB is Leighton Meester; alternatives to be brunette.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast

CALLISTA PUCEY

B. Jan. 1878 | UCPB | SLYTHERPUFF | SOCIALITE

Callista Pucey has a secret: two of her children are not her husband's. Indeed, they aren't even hers.

• Iseult. No issues there. Great job, Iseult.
  
• Juno. Juno and Hippolyta were accidentally switched by the nanny as toddlers, and it was three years before anyone actually noticed. (#ButtBirthmark). At this point, it seemed... unkind to swap the girls back, and so Juno would be raised as Polly, Polly as Juno, and the nanny dismissed without any hope of a reference. The parents all agreed never to tell the children. Besides, it's not like a secret like that could ever cause a problem, right?
  
• Kingsley. In fairness, Callista does not know this. Her own son perished in a very difficult labour, and it was a fortnight before it was certain Callista herself would live. When she began asking after the baby, her husband did not have the heart to tell her, and so acquired a child.
  

Other than that, Callista Pucey is an altogether normal socialite. Well, that, and the fact that she and her identical twin fell in love with, and married, identical twin brothers, but that's old news. She is incredibly close to her sister, but does not know what to do with Cosmina's grief, leaving her feeling out of sorts about the matter. She is very charitable—both in terms of Causes and in her patience for those around her—and wishes everyone to excel and be happy in life (within their own spheres, of course; she's not a radical!). She and Cosmina were in the same house at Hogwarts. She does not think quidditch a suitable occupation for a woman, and would not allow her daughters to play.

Suggested PB is Leighton Meester; alternatives to be brunette.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast

BERNARDUS PUCEY

B. 1850 | UCPB | RAVENDOR | ST MUNGO'S HEALER

Unlike (and except) the Pucey twins, Bernardus and Benedict did not do everything together. Oh, they've been best friends from the drop and were in the same house at Hogwarts, but have always healthily explored their own interests—Bernardus loved sport while Benedict had a mean head for strategy; Bernardus went into healing while Benedict found his place at the Ministry. Still, not having his brother has left him feeling almost hollow, as though there's a crevice where his heart should be.

Benedict was the only person he ever told about Kingsley, and always insisted he did the right thing when he began to waver or express doubts. He loves the boy, but has always struggled to love him as a son instead of something more akin to a nephew. Soft purist/classist (like ideally marries like, but friends need only be human). Suggested PB is Johnny Flynn with alternatives to have light hair.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast
Potential Ties: Richard Gladstone Thomasina Dempsey Atalanta Hart Philomen Huxley Rosalie Hunniford Caltheus Rookwood Marie-Louise Prewett
Double Duty: The Captain's Legacy

LYSANDRA PUCEY

B. 1880 | UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | THIRD/FOURTH YEAR ('94)

Of all the Pucey children that ever there were, Lysdandra was always most like Benedict: an easy smile, a kind enough nature, a bit cocky but mostly well-earned, and content with being good enough rather than the best. Understandably, she took her father's passing hard, even compared to her siblings, though still tries to remain lighthearted around Mama, figuring Cosmina already has enough storm clouds overhead. Suggested PB is Beau Gadson with alternatives to be blonde or brunette.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast
Potential Ties: Imogene Paxton Louisa Clearwater Fiona McCarthy Harriet Bythesea Katherine Arundell Wren Burroughs Olive Norris Bonnie Greyback Charity Lloyd Honoria Rookwood Lucy Tatting; other Hogwarts staff & students

ISEULT PUCEY

B. 1875 | UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | DEBUTANTE

Iseult spent some time at Pendergast's, making her debut in 1894. This was owing to a few (thoroughly quashed!) rumours about her behaviour at the Hogwarts CoB, and to be fair, she has been a model of good behaviour ever since. Besides, Aunt Evelyn's school wasn't bad, and she even met the love of her life there!

Which is only problematic in that Iseult is expected to marry a man, and LOHR is very much a girl. A mild inconvenience.

The two have hatched a plan: they will take a leafe out of Iseult's mother's book and marry a pair of brothers. Then, they may spend as much time together as they wish, raise families together, etc. Simplicity itself, no?

Suggested PB is Margaret Qualley with alternatives to be blonde or brunette.

Immediate Ties: Hippolyta Pucey
Bonus Ties: Evelyn Abercrombie Regina Pendergast Ani Pomfrey; other appropriately-aged current & former Roses
Potential Ties: Imogene Paxton Louisa Clearwater; other Hogwarts staff & students

HERMIA & DEMETRIA PUCEY

B. 1883 | UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | CHILD/FIRST YEAR ('94)

Bubbly and clever, but not exactly devoted to her studies, Hermia sees Hogwarts as what one does rather than something she yearns for and, to be fair, she's not exactly wonderful at wandwork (this may be a factor. Maybe.). By contrast, Demetria has always had most things come easily to her, and magic has proven no different. Like their mother and aunt before them, the twins are very close, but each is privately very glad to have an opportunity to spread her wings and see what else the world has to offer outside the family. Suggested PB is Darcey Porter-Cassidy with alternatives to be blonde or brunette.

KINGSLEY PUCEY

B. 1881 | UCPB | OPEN HOUSE | SECOND/THIRD YEAR ('94)

Kingsley Pucey was never shown any more love than his sisters just by virtue of his penis, and as a result is surprisingly well-adjusted, compared to most wealthy young lads set to inherit. Merlin help him, are there ever a lot of sisters, too—for that is largely how he views the cousins-next-door as well. Each year he eagerly awaits his return to the testosterone-laden halls of Hogwarts, his friends, and his crush-of-the-moment, though this most recent return had the added advantage of taking him out of what he presently views as a shrine to grief. (He misses his uncle too, but do they have to be so dour about it?) Suggested PB is Benjamin Evan Ainsworth with alternatives to have dark hair.

He's convinced that a specific quality (class, rep, blood, something?) led him to be overlooked, and alternates between trying very hard to be Zelda's friend versus trying to cause problems for her. He is preferably somewhere between 25 and 40 so that Zelda isn't beefing with a middle aged man, but I'm flexible. Pictured is Freddie Fox but IDGAF. DOUBLE UP: Rupert Hart, Bertram Blackwood II, Eamon or Ethan Harper, "Envy", Peter, Penpal Suitors Reserved for Fallin "Gilbert" ACAB | OPEN HOUSE | MISUSE OF MUGGLE ARTIFACTS INVESTIGATOR "Gilbert" is really, really committed to muggle artifacts — and sometimes gets too distracted by nerding out about them to be as effective at ~enforcing things~ as he could be. Means well but needs guidance. Possibly also a hopeless romantic type? Pictured is Kelvin Harrison Jr. but IDGAF. DOUBLE UP: Evan Glynn, Noah Farley, Prosper Gambol, Eamon/Easton Harper, several of the people I listed above for "Silas" Reserved for Bee "Agatha" WCAB/MCAB | OPEN HOUSE | MISUSE OF MUGGLE ARTIFACTS INVESTIGATOR "Agatha" is a diligent investigator and a self-avowed feminist; she would really like Zelda to be one, too, and has started to plant seeds/try to get Zelda to hang out with her for feminism reasons. Pictured is Aimee Lou Wood, but IDGAF. DOUBLE UP: "the sweetheart", probably others but I am becoming sleepy

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. He will also be suing the Dempseys. "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. Reserved for Bree 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.

Have a Hudson

for Dean Hudson

Brother's names are flexible, esp given me naming one of my own characters "Tobias" recently. Mae's been referenced quite a bit in narrative, but as long as Mae can be a reasonable nickname, that's fine! The Hudson siblings were raised in a bilingual household so are fluent in both French and English. Their mother is French and tends to use it around the house, so they probably ought to still understand her! She was the far more affectionate one of the parents, while Aldrich adhered to the aloof distance most fathers maintained. He had high expectations however, especially for the two oldest boys; the ministry or be cut off. How that's played out for "Tobias" is open however! Mae has always been the exception, being the only girl, though she surprised everyone with her elopement in the autumn of 1887 a year after her graduation from Hogwarts.

I looked for some double-ups, though nothing jumped out at me, feel free to combine ideas for more connections!

"Crawford" Hudson Lachlan McClean	1863 | MCHB | not married, but otherwise open 8+ rep | ministry Crawford and Dean could not be any more opposite in most respects. Dean has always been outgoing and friendly, while Crawford has always been more of an introvert, better at academics than socializing. Far more intelligent than he is often given credit for, especially by their father, he's actually quite thoughtful and good at his job. Outside of this, he's open! His marital status can be anything from single to engaged, but not yet married. This could all be a facade and he leads a shady life underneath it all, or be inclined to debauchery like Dean is, I am Not Concerned, as long as the family rep isn't torn apart just yet haha.
Maella --- née Hudson Haley Bennett	1868 | MCHB | married | 7/8 rep | housewife Mae, as the only girl in the family, has had an easier time than her brothers. She and Dean have always been close, the most similar in personality. She is charming and social, impulsive and witty. She eloped in the autumn of 1887 and was Not Sorry about it at all. She is very much in love with her husband and they likely have at least two children by now. Of anyone, she might know a little more about Dean's past than anyone else, at least that he'd been heartbroken in 1888, though not who had caused it. She's likely now very community-involved and enjoys events etc, though people may not be quite as receptive to her, given the elopement.
"Tobias" Hudson Froy Guiterrez	1871 | MCHB | unattached | 8+ rep | ministry/hospital By the time Tobias reached adulthood, his father had relaxed a little on his previously held, strict stipulations about being a productive member of society. Still, he might have floundered a little, trying to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. He may have wound up at the hospital or ministry, but how well that's going could be up in the air. He might be passionate about something else (potions/creatures/inventing etc) that he would rather be doing. Open to possibilities!

GUIDELINES

Show

• Please contact me prior to making an app! (Discord or PM)
  
• I am notoriously bad at picking play-bys for siblings/family, so all these lovely ladies are open to whatever suggestions you got; just run them by me first <3
  
• Please fill out the family section (you can find related characters in my boy’s’ profile, typically) and give at least 3 traits in the personality section
  
• Anything in bold is something I would prefer not to be changed when you start making your app; if you have questions or want to bounce ideas off me, feel free to reach out!
  
• I’m pretty lenient on activity – I would, obviously, prefer you to be active with my adopts but sometimes IRL happens; if one of my adopts goes inactive during AC, I’ll reach out to you to see what’s up. If you’re losing muse or don’t have time for as many characters, there’s nothing wrong with that, just let me know and I’ll put the character back up! As long as you communicate, it’ll be fine <3
  

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

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
28 | gryffindor alumna | ucpb
salty columnist/feminist

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

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
22 | hufflepuff alumna | ucpb
junior healer at st. mungo’s, department of creature-induced injuries

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

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
20 | slythclaw 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! 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.

FINOLA LILLIAN DANAHER*
19 | gryffclaw dropout | ucpb
tour guide at the museum of magical miscellany/debutante

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.

KATHLEEN ALEXANDRINA DANAHER*
14 | slythindor | ucpb
fourth year student at hogwarts

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.

Other Relations of the Danahers

JOHNNY FLANNAGAN
34-ish | slytherin alumnus | ucpb
BIL, open occupation

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!

---

DANAHER COUSINS
all UCAlastair’s family is just one of three branches of the Danaher clan! He has two married uncles (older than his own father Sean) and likely has cousins of varying ages; save for Tara and Kara (and perhaps Kathleen), his side of the family did not spend a lot of time growing up with the “proper” Danahers due to his father’s overly progressive ways (i.e. his eccentricities), so any cousins would be very open-ended personality-wise and play-by-wise. <3 Per the guidelines, just contact me prior to making an app for any distant family members!

Mrs. Flourish

Reserved: Lady
Ned's wife! When they met, she joined the duo of Ned and his best friend Nick Blott and they became an inseparable trio. Both men were in love with her and both delighted that their best friend seemed to get on so well with her as well. After Ned proposed and she accepted, things came crashing down between Nick and Ned, and the pair stopped talking to each other. In spite of the friendship falling apart, Ned went on to marry her and the pair subsequently had two children... but I am very much not inclined to have their marriage just be blissfully happy, I want some trouble in paradise! Whether that's trouble that occurred at some point in the past dozen years and they're slowly recovering from it, trouble happening now, future trouble, or some combination of the three is totally flexible. I'm also always up for past threads <3 Basically I'm seeking a co-conspirator here to help shape their dynamic, not looking to plug someone into something that's already firmed up! (Also if you jump in you get angst with MJ, which tbh should be enough of a selling point on its own).

She was previously played but rather minimally; I'm very open to changing any and all details about her & am happy to make adjustments to Ned's history to match. She is on the canon list so you're bound by these deets unless you clear changes with staff: Mrs. — Flourish, b. 1860, MCAB. If the younger Mrs. Flourish bears any regret about breaking up a friendship, it is eclipsed entirely by how much she loves the lifestyle she now leads. A perusal of the other entries in the Flourish & Blott families in the canon list would be in good order as well.

Pictured is Georgina Campbell because apparently I'll just put her face on every possible want ad until someone uses her. But her face (& ethnicity) are open, and if something fits you could even wedge her into an existing family!

Set by Lady ♡

Miss Oakby

For Idris Oakby
--- Oakby

B.1870 | UCHB | Squib | PB: Open (pictured: Gugu Mbatha-Raw) | Rep: Max of Eight
Idris's sister is a canon character, so these are set in stone: Born in 1870. UCHB Squib. Miss Oakby's lack of magic has been blamed by the wagging tongues of society on her mother's actions. Though she does her best to keep her head held high, her status as a squib truly does bother her. She made her debut into society at 18, but has received only a tepid response. Maximum reputation of eight.

Idris has not named her in IC, just referred to her as her sister. Idris and her sister aren't super close, but she'd love to see her older sister married before she decides to take on a husband herself... which doesn't seem to be something she's interested in any time soon. She also doesn't want to see her become a spinster. Idris will eventually become very interested in squib rights thanks to her sister being one. It has been a source of frustration between them for a few years, especially once Idris had gone off to Hogwarts for her education, leaving her sister at home. How her sister feels about being one is open.

Guidelines:

Show

• Please contact me before picking up one of my adoptables! PM Gus Lissington or shoot me a message on discord with any questions
  
• If you plan to drop the character, either temporarily or permanently, please let me know! I reserve the right to put them back up for adoption if they dropped. I'm not a super stickler on activity though.
  
• Face is completely open.
  
• Could come with a set, if you'd like one :)

MJ made me something beautiful<3

"Albert" Pettigrew

Born 1858, "Albert" is UCPB and the second son after his older brother Thom Pettigrew. He married Dru in 1888 and they have three children, but were told by a healer they're unlikely to have more. Dru found him perfectly acceptable for marriage and agreed to his proposal without hesitation but has since decided he is boring — but Dru would think this about anyone so his personality is very open!

I want him for: weirdly charged conversations that end in sex, potential affair fallout, Dru trying to Lady MacBeth him into something he doesn't want, that sort of thing. I am open to him discovering her interests in dark magic or some of her secrets!

By picking him up you get connections to her friend group (one of whom might kill her and another of whom is secretly in love with her), the Rowles, and whatever hijinks she gets into next.

Pictured is Taylor Kitsch, alternatives to be white and age appropriate. Also, I play Thom & can flex some stuff in their family history if you desire.

The McKelvey Men

for Annora McKelvey by extension Effie Clarke

Annie is surrounded by brothers and they are all pretty close. She highly suspects they have meddled in her romance pursuits though they will neither confirm nor deny. They never seemed to put up much of a fuss about having Effie around during the summers either. Names are flex, but most brothers have been mentioned IC at least once or twice by now lol. These are absolutely just throw away personalities, so you do you boo!

Grant McKelvey Jack Lowden	1856 | MCPB | open marital status 8+ rep | open occupation Everything the eldest son should be.... on the outside. Grant looks like he has it all together but does he really? Is he harboring a love child that he pays maintenance on? Does he have some huge gambling debts? A wildly inappropriate lover somewhere begging him to let go of his life and to join them?
Reed McKelvey Nicholas Skidmore	1859 | MCPB | open marital status 8+ rep | open occupation Reed is incredibly intelligent; and absolutely abysmal at getting it across to anyone. He can be hard to get a read on sometimes. Passionate about his career (or some sort of academic pursuit outside of work). Once someone gets in and lets him nerd out, he's much more open.
Wyatt McKelvey Gabriel Basso	1865 | MCPB | open marital status 8+ rep | open occupation Have you tried being the middle child? It's like weird family limbo. Wyatt may or may not have always harbored a little crush of Effie, though never said anything about it. He is Annie's secret favorite as well and the one who usually accompanies her on outings when she needs a chaperone. They are probably the most alike in personality and therefore he is probably the most protective of her feelings.
Jonah McKelvey KJ Apa	1870 | MCPB | single 8+ rep | open occupation Still learning to make his way in the world, Jonah may have a less ~traditional sort of occupation, operating on whims and dreams rather than any sort of actual plan. He's the gullible but confident sort! Could be an artiste, a revolutionary, who knows!

for PIPPA

Welcome to your seduction ;)  Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables:

Show

• Please reserve your character with me before apping!
  
• Obviously, I'd prefer activity from anyone to take these on XD
  
• I'll give you two weeks after loosing 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 Aldous Crouch, catch me on skype, or stalk me in the cbox ;)

THE GRYFFIN-PAL

1881-1882 | UCPB/UCHB/MCPB | GRYFFINDOR | SECOND YEAR ('94)

Look, Pippa has friends. She even has a good friend that's not related to her! But a girl needs an ally not only in her house, but in her dormitory. Enter: "Athena".

It is important to note that each of these girls views the other as a sidekick and somewhat of a charity case, though they'd never admit as much aloud. To Pippa, "Athena" is poorer and from a less illustrious family. To "Athena", Pippa is not half so gifted a student. It is this shared belief in the other's failings that helps to bond them together and stops their similar personalities—assertive, confident, loyal when deserved, and a bit black-and-white, where thinking is concenred—from turning them into enemies, at least for now.

"Athena" is quite open, including her name, family connections, and ethnicity. She should be kind to the people Pippa cares about and shouldn't be running off championing halfbreed/muggle/whatever rights, at least not until she's older, but otherwise, she's a pretty standard foundation for you to build on! Pictured PB is Momona Tamada.

Immediate Ties: Philippa Rowle
Bonus Ties: Forsythia Rowle Harriet Bythesea Serpentine Malfoy Louisa Clearwater
Potential Ties: other Hogwarts staff & students
Extended Ties: could be a daughter of Melinda or "Ismene" to score some adult relations.

Most of their personalities and face claims are unestablished so if you have an idea that you think might work within my descriptions let me know.

If you can't or don't want to continue the character let me know in case I want to put any of them back out for adoption but being super active with the characters is not essential.

For Violetta Decroix

Luca DeCroix
born 1886 || UCPB || male || French
Suggested PB - Fflyn Edwards

Luca is the little brother of Violetta, he is a well-brought-up French boy who primarily lives in London but spends a lot of time in the family home in Marseille. He looks up to his big sister but does enjoy teasing her like little brothers are prone to doing. He is of average intelligence and stands to inherit the DeCroix Household eventually. Most other personality traits are not established.

For Antelope Grace

Beatrice Grace
born 1883 || UCPB || Female || English
Suggested PB - Amybeth Mcnulty

Not much is established regards Beatrice's personality other than the fact that she and her sister do not get along. Antelope is not looking forward to her joining the school in September 1895. What the reasons are for this is anyone's guess and they may even get over it as they get older but right now they have a “weird older sister” and “annoying little sister” relationship.

Antelope Grace

Michael Grace
born 1886 || UCPB || Male || English
Suggested PB - fair haired white male

Other than his name and his birth year nothing is established here but Antelope likes her smallest brother much more than she likes her sister and they have a good relationship with Antelope being protective of him and mothering him a little.

For Harrison Knight

Sheridan Knight
born 1880/81 || UCPB || female || Ravenclaw
Suggested PB - Ariel Winter

Sheridan is Harrison's cousin and as she has no older brothers, he fulfills that role for her. As of 94/95 she is in fourth year and is a Ravenclaw. Harrison is a generous man who likes to share the wealth that his line of the family has earned about so they would likely be well acquainted from family gatherings. She is quite intrigued by his courtships hoping he might find himself someone good and would know a couple of the debutantes he dated (and also been probed for information on the). She could be a good candidate for prefect duty come September.

For Daesyn Mackenzie

William Mackenzie
born 1880/81 || MCHB || male || Any house
Suggested PB - Gus Barry

His age isn't fully established but as of the year 94/95 he is most likely somewhere in 3rd to 5th year. He is intended for the military like his muggle father before him and all the men in previous Mackenzie generations. If he doesn't excel his OWLs he will leave and join the enlisted. If he does well he will continue to his NEWTS and then hopefully go into a path towards officer candidacy. He and Daesyn get on but he agrees with their father that she could do with being more lady-like and leave following the family traditions to him. Possible future prefect duty.

Thank you MJ for this art
