SOMERSBY FUDGE
B. 1871 | MCHB | RAVENCLAW | SEVENTH YEAR (’88)
The eldest of the Fudge brood, Somersby has generally an open personality, with the caveat that he (wisely) keeps any ass-like characteristics he might have from his parents. He has accompanied his father on international procurement trips for the menagerie, and has an affinity for magical creatures (though whether he’s INTERESTED is up to you). Perfect for those looking for a fairly open character with existing, played ties on-board! He is offended by Herbert's joking attitude toward his death, putting a bit of a gap in their relationship. The suggested PB is Landon Liboiron. Somersby was born in 1871 and had his first act of magic in 1874. He is in Ravenclaw house and is close friends with Ben Turner, who he awkwardly asks questions about coping with ghost parents.

USTINYA VOLYAINICHNA SLEPTOVA née KONSTANTINOVA
B. 1865 | UCAB | KOLDOVSTORETZ | WIFE
Nikolai’s second wife, the pair met shortly after Ustinya’s debut in 1883 and married a few weeks later. Her relationship with her stepdaughters has always been strained, as neither rushed to welcome her as a mother. After a stillbirth in 1884, that strain bloomed between Usti and her husband as well—though she thought they married for love, she knew now that on his end, it was simply lust. She has a few close friends in Hogsmeade, though is hindered by the fact that she still speaks only broken English. She does not suspect that their lodger is anything more than that—but this is likely to change ;)
—Can't commit long term? This character can be a temporary!—
Suggested PB is Annet Mahendru.

“MRS. ABBOTT”
B. 1864-1866 | MCAB | SLYTHERPUFF | WIFE
Daughter of the British (magical) Liaison to Morocco, ----- and Inès quickly hit it off because of a shared love of society and pretty things and going to functions. Okay, it’s not a particularly deep friendship, but ----- would trust Inès with her life, and it’s mutual enough that Inès was willing to hop on a boat and sail over when asked. It probably helps that Inès procured her blissfully happy marriage.
She lived in Morocco from sometime in 1885 until returning home to England just before Christmas. Upon her arrival, she was so distressed by her childhood bestie’s lack of romance or even prospects that she decided to arrange for Inès to come over and work her magic once more!
---- is a true MC socialite, aka can squire Inès hither and fro.
She can absolutely be of any ethnicity! I am flexible on natal and married surnames as long as they make sense for her family’s role. A couple of notes on her family:
— Father was born and raised MC in England.
— Mother can be of any ethnicity and nationality.
— Husband can be of any ethnicity, but on the paternal line should be from Britain. He would have attended Hogwarts. Also comfortably MC.
—Can't commit long term? This character can be a temporary!—

DAVINDER PATIL
B. 1876 | WCHB | TBA! | FIRST YEAR ('88)
Davinder spent all of the life he can remember in a Punjabi (muggle) orphanage before being scooped up by Mayfield Fairchild in the autumn of 1886 and deposited in the Fairchilds' Irvingly home like an awkward Christmas gift. Due to the regulations surrounding proof of humanity, he was unable to attend Hogwarts when his birthday would have allowed, and so will be attending this year at the age of 12. He still speaks in broken English, and Temperance uses a mixture of corporal punishment and general intimidation to beat the English (culture AND language) into him. Suggested PB is Sunny Pawar. There are THINGS but you don't get to know them yet. Rep of 5 because of the aforementioned English woes and he's probably a bastard.

Thistle Potts
1865 | open house | single | 8 rep
Florist @ The Florist Potts
Thistle is the family scientist. She
excelled in transfiguration at school and
likes to experiment with the flowers in the shop, crossing breeds and working more with the magical plants than the muggle. She is working on some benign Top Secret Project that she won't even share with her sisters. What is up to you, as long as she's not like breeding venomous tentacula with fanged geraniums.
Dahlia Potts
1873 | open house | single | 8 rep
Incoming 4th Year Student
Efrosinia Kushnir
Dahlia can be more
shy than some of her sisters, but is
very bright. She sometimes worries that her family's... oddness makes people look down on them. She does love the family business, but isn't sure she wants to continue on with it herself and her third year electives may reflect that! Her personality is largely open as long as she isn't super judgey. (She may also be an incoming 3rd year, depending on her birthday!)
Leah Lorraine Beauregard
April 1872 | Slytherin | Single | rep 9
Incoming 6th Year Student
Chloe East
The baby of all the Beauregard cousins, Leah is
very content with that. She has a personality all her own however and with 3 older brothers has never had any issues making herself heard. She can come off as a bit bratty, but isn't a complete snob. Other than that she's pretty open!
CHRYSANTA LESTRANGE
— for Violetta Lestrange —
b. 1834 | UCPB | Slytherin Alumna | Philanthropist | Rep 10
Chrysanta "Chrystie" Lestrange (née Scrimgeour) is the mother of Violetta Lestrange. Born in
1834, Chrysanta attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin. She was always an
upstanding young woman with with a
knack for understanding people and their needs. After graduating from Hogwarts, Chrysanta was courted by and eventually
married Aurelius Lestrange sometime between 1853-1855. The couple
struggled to conceive for nearly a decade.
While the birth of Violetta — a daughter rather than a son — damaged their relationship, it was the
loss of their stillborn son in 1872 that put the nail in the coffin. Chrysanta and her husband, while still giving off the appearance of a healthy marriage in the public eye,
often pretend the other doesn't exist while at home. The one hope that remains in Chrysanta's heart is that her daughter will find happiness in her own life, but that
hope has begun to fade in recent years.
The suggested PB is
Kristin Scott Thomas, with alternatives to be brown-haired and blue-eyed.

CUPCAKE WHITLEDGE
— for Handsome Whitledge —
b. 1869 | UCHB | Gryffindor Alumna ('88) | Incoming Debutante | Rep 9
Cupcake Whitledge, affectionately referred to as "Duckie", is the fraternal twin sister of Handsome Whitledge. Born on
December 29, 1869, Cupcake attended Hogwarts and was sorted into
Gryffindor alongside her twin brother. Always the
optimist, Cupcake was one of the few Whitledge siblings to
embrace her name, taking on
baking as a hobby. The only problem? She's awful with the oven, though none of her siblings have had the heart to tell her yet.
She's always been (unsurprisingly)
closest with her brother, though has always avoided family drama to the best of her ability. After graduation, it's likely she'll pursue the path of a
debutante; however, she remains
unconvinced that getting married is something to stress over.
The suggested PB is
Holly Taylor, with alternatives to at least slightly resemble Handsome's PB.
