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

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.

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.)

Senna --- née Potts [Lauren de Graaf]	1863 | GHR | married 8 rep | housewife Married a little late in the summer of 1890, Senna is in her Mommy Era and Loving It. She has one girl so far and is currently due with a second in 1894. She's the new default chaperon for the unmarried Potts girls, which she secretly enjoys after moving out of her family home. Personality wide open!
Amaryllis --- née Potts [Esther Heesch]	1862 | GHRS | married | 8 rep P&P Poisoning Healer, HH The oldest and so far the only one to pursue a career outside the florist, Ama married relatively early in a somewhat advantageous marriage that allows her to keep working. She's been referenced as having 3 girls, keeping it to a "reasonable amount" and the oldest is probably approaching Hogwarts age. Responsible and very much the Oldest, she enjoys her work immensely. Outside of that things are open!
Basil "Herb" Potts [Keanu Reeves]	1834 | GHRS | married 8 rep | marine herbologist Quirky and very go with the flow, Laurel can pretty much use him as a doormat. He wanted at least one boy, but gave up that hope after Daffy was born. He's surrounded by women and mostly okay with it. He's quite adventurous and thoroughly enjoys his underwater career! He is most likely bffs with his brother-in-law, Ewart Fraser. Basil also has a soft spot for Daffy's childhood friend, Jack Dorset.

BEATRICE HART

B. 1869 | UCHB | HUFFLECLAW | AGING DEBUTANTE

Gregory's eldest younger sibling, Bea is the sister with whom he is closest; Bea is also the only sibling that Greg thinks might suspect he is lying. She is kind and witty, and most at home in the countryside, where she loves to ride and garden. Unlike her elder sister and mother, she was quite content with 'just' being a debutante and eventually a wife & mother, but after several seasons, has struggled to make a lasting match for reasons that are up to her player! With another season on the horizon, will she at last be successful, or should she start preparing to hand in the towel? Suggested PB is Aisha Dee; alternatives should pass for mixed race.

Immediate Ties: Gregory Hart Atalanta Hart
Bonus Ties: Eurydice Lovegood Emmett Harper Felicity Lovegood Hadrian Nott Titus Nott
Double Duty: Princesses on Parade
Planting Seeds: Peter, The Prophecy, Polyjuice Shenanigans, You've Got Mail, I Swear I'm Not a Werewolf

RUPERT HART

B. 1860 | UCHB | OPEN HOUSE | GENTLEMAN/MINISTRY

The eldest of the Hart boys and the brother with whom Gergory is closest with, Rupert was named for his father. He has always lacked Gregory's way with money, and secretly his mother still manages his accounts. (He would be mortified if anyone knew!) Rupert may be still unattached, or may have married at any point in the last six years. As the eldest son, he inherited a country home and one in Hogsmeade, both of which he shares with his mother, youngest brother, and unmarried sisters. He may be the leisurely sort, or may have found a job in the Ministry that is at least vaguely prestigious.

Suggested PB is Daryl McCormack; alternatives should pass for mixed race.

Immediate Ties: Gregory Hart Atalanta Hart

Planting Seeds: The Prophecy, Polyjuice Shenanigans, I Swear I'm Not a Werewolf, Easygoing Bachelor

HONOUR HART

B. 1873 | UCHB | OPEN HOUSE | DEBUTANTE

Forthright. Graceful. A curse, and a blessing, have accompanied Honour for most of her life, and she's always been... reluctant to hold her tongue. This can make her a fierce advocate for those she cares for, but is speculated to have hindered her prospects. After leaving Hogwarts, she spent a year at the Pendergast school with the hopes of sanding off some of her rougher edges. Mixed results there. Suggested PB is India Amarteifio; alternatives should pass for mixed race.

SIMEON HART

B. LATE 1876 | UCHB | OPEN HOUSE | SEVENTH YEAR ('94)

The youngest of the Hart children, Simeon is still attending Hogwarts and will come into his inheritance the day after he graduates. Both graduating and Having Money terrify him. Actually, a lot of things do. He's always had a nervous disposition. Suggested PB is Justice Smith; alternatives should pass for mixed race.

MELINDA nee HART

B. 1856 | UCHB | OPEN HOUSE | HEALER

The eldest of the Hart children, Melinda followed her mother's example and became a healer—indeed doing so before she married between 1878 and 1882. She maintained, and still does, that it was important she found a husband who would love her because of her work, not in spite of it. She has at least one living child, though whether her husband is living or dead is up to her player. Suggested PB is Meghan Markle; alternatives should pass for mixed race.

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 ;) — Last updated May 31st, 2025 — A WCHB family raised in Dublin, Ireland, the Buchanans were raised by parents who were very much in love — their mother was constantly sharing her love of romance novels with them. Their parents were also relatively open with their children, telling them when they chose an abortion potion for the good of their family in 1875. Life probably would have continued as normal, but in 1879 their mother fell pregnant again, dying in 1880 in childbirth for Maeve II and putting a rip in the family dynamic. The children have dealt with this in varying ways since. Fiona Buchanan B. 1867| WCHB | OPEN HOUSE | OPEN CAREER | REP 6-9 Fiona lives in Dublin, with an open occupation — she keeps an eye on their father. She attended Hogwarts from 1878 until spring 1880 — when their mother died, she came home for the funeral and never went back to school. Where Declan is all soft edges, Fiona is all-sharp — they never got along as children. While age and responsibility for their younger siblings have sanded off some of the difficulty in their relationship, it certainly hasn't gotten all of it. Fiona is pretty open as long as she has a really strong personality — she would tie in well with feminist plots or with the Augurey Beak Cafe activists.

Sean "works" in crime, but hasn't been caught — he's incredibly smart, and he helps provide a soft place to land for his siblings when he needs to. He dropped out of Hogwarts in 1883.

The Potts Family Players

Cecil Potts [suggested face: Daniel Day-Lewis]	b.1836 | GRHS | married 8 rep | MCHB | Herbologist A hardworking man, Cecil takes his job and duty to his family quite seriously. He does his best to balance work and family, and can often fall short of the latter until his wife makes note. In whatever he does Cecil gives 110%, exceedingly present and involved as much as he can be. Potentially does work or research for the Ministry, or a similar organization with deep enough pockets to supply a home conservatory.
Elizabeth "Beth" Potts [suggested face: Miranda Otto]	b.1841 | GHS | married 8 rep | MCHB | Housewife A homemaker first, Beth presents herself as the quintessential witch and mother. She concerns herself with appearances where she can (sometimes difficult in a family of plant-lovers) and plays the stateswoman of her family. She adapts her approach with her children, loving for the ones who need support, such as her eldest son, and stern with those who need structure, such as her youngest. She likely has hobbies and/or social groups that take her out of the house often, especially ones where she can rep the Potts family name and achievements.
Edmund Potts [suggested face: Max Irons]	b.1863 | GRH | Formerly Married 8 rep | MCHB | Museum Curator A man who had everything he wanted, a stable career and loving wife, and lived up to every ideal instilled in his upbringing. Perhaps some even thought Edmund would make Minister of Magic someday, until it all came crashing down. Either his wife died or they divorced, leaving him with half a heart and a wandering soul. Edmund has done what he can to pick up the pieces of his life, and may be close/back on track from where he was, just several more years behind. He would be closest/in friendly competition with Dorothea, and an example to Edmund until things fell apart.
Fletcher Potts [suggested face: George Sear]	b.1873 | GHS | Single 8 rep | MCHB | Performing Arts A young man emerging from his fledgling years of adulthood, Fletcher pays respect to his family while forging his own path. He has adopted a diligence with his own, balanced with moderation and a love of social exploits. His ideal would have him surrounded by a flock of admirers and followers, perhaps friends, with whom he could collaborate in their careers or personal lives. While he looks up to his older brother, Edmund has learned from his brother and father to find better balance in his life, and from his sister and mother how to stay true to his own guiding light. He is closest with his youngest sister if he is close with any of his siblings, often preferring the company of others beyond his family.

Elizabeth “Betty” Plunkett nee — [Pictured as Leslie Mann]	THE ECCENTRIC ONE 1840 | ILLVERYMONY GRAD | MARRIED 8/7 REP | MANAGER OF PLUNKETT GENERAL STORE Born and raised on the American frontier Betty is a firm believer in self sufficiency. She makes many of the goods for their General Goods store and is constantly looking for ways to add additional items. She is the reason for the beehives and sheep on the farm and has a running “joke” with Bert about purchasing their own silkworms to make silk. She spends much of her time at the store and is very invested in the lives of her sons. Of the friends she is loud and enthusiastic, but always there for week and chats. She considers her friends' children as much her family as her own boys.
Fiona Bixby née --- [Pictured is Sandra Bollock]	THE QUIDDITCH ONE 1840| OPEN HOUSE| MARRIED| 8/7 REP FORMER MINISTRY EMPLOYEE Fiona has led a long and successful ministry career in the Broom Regulatory Office. Her marriage to Carson was one of mutual fondness that blossomed into something more, after marriage. Together they have four surviving sons, and one daughter. Sloane's twin, Sawyer, was lost in infancy a few months after his birth. Presently, she is trying to balance Wally after his accident and Sloane after her return from the "dead". It's not been easy, but she's retired from the ministry now and thrown herself into taking care of her kids. How this is impacting her marriage, friendships and everything else is open!
Beatrice Hatchitt nee — [Pictured as Ruth Gemmell]	THE PROTECTIVE ONE 1844 | OPEN HOUSE| MARRIED 8/9 REP | WIFE AND MOTHER Beatrice Hatchitt has spent most of her life as a caretaker. With seven children, one of whom was sickly for most of her young life, she has never been idle. It all comes naturally, and she worries, of course she does, because none of her children have every made much easier for her. Gabe into the Auror office and his young marriage; Jess and his fast track into the Reversal Squad and his questionable life choices; fortunately Connie (minus her brief rebellious streak) and Victoria haven't been too difficult. Then there is of course, the younger boys and Mercy. Her youngest daughter had been sickly since birth, but she never let it slow her down, so her death from the Laughing Plague in 1884 was a tougher hit than expected. With all of her children out of Hogwarts now, she mostly keeps them under close supervision though tries not to interfere too much. Currently she is keeping a closer eye on Lester's friend, Sloane, after her return from a terrible accident in which she was missing-presumed-dead for nearly a year. The Hatchitts and the Bixbys live next door to one another and many of the children have overlapped or been close over the years. Add in the Potts and the Plunketts and really, they've got Hogsmeade covered.

The Young

TENNYSON

B. 1877-1880 | MCMB | OPEN HOUSE | FOURTH-SIXTH YEAR ('94)

"Tennyson" (name open) was Dido's charge when she was a governess, born to a muggle family that lived near her parents' home. He is also blind, something that has impacted his studies to varying degrees. When Dido worked with him he was a curious, if cautious, young boy, though that may have changed in the years since. Ideally he is not a massive dick xD Ethnicity and face are wide open, but pictured is Aidan Gallagher.— RESERVED for ARCADIA —

The Not Old Yet

SEBASTIAN

B. 1861-1862 | MCAB | HUFFLEPUFF | PROFESSOR or DEPT. of EDUCATION*

One of Dido's longest friends, "Sebastian" (name wide open), along with "Leroy", stood up for her when she was being bullied in first year and got stuck with her as a bestie <3 She has always had a bit of a crush on Sebastian, but has never acted on it. He should be unattached to start but does not need to reciprocate her interest at all.

Ideally he would be a professor as well so they can hang out at work, but he could also work for the dept. of education—if the latter, I have Thoughts on getting him into the castle long-term so he should just be a regular departmental employee. Face and ethnicity are wide open, but pictured is Tyler James Williams for AE reasons.

LYDIA

B. 1861-1862 | MCHB/MCPB | RAVENDOR | DEPT. of MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

A twin to "Leroy", "Lydia" (name flexible) has long been a force of nature. Of the group of friends, she is the one most easily frustrated by Dido's tendency to wander off mentally mid-conversation. Indeed, she is the most easily frustrated full-stop. Never the sort to let anyone say she can't do something, Lydia played quidditch at Hogwarts and later found a more masculine profession in the Ministry of Magic. She is deeply loyal to those she cares about, even when they annoy her. Her marital status is up to her player. Face and ethnicity are open; pictured is Tuppence Middleton.

B. 1861-1862 | MCHB/MCPB | HUFFLEPUFF | DEPT. of MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT

One of Dido's longest friends, "Leroy" (name wide open), along with "Sebastian", stood up for her when she was being bullied in first year and got stuck with her as a bestie <3 As a twin to a more outgoing sister, Leroy often comes across as rather restrained/subdued, but is quite the jokester around those with whom he is comfortable. Dido set him up with his wife, Knowing that both preferred their own gender. It is a comfortable and companionate marriage. Face and ethnicity are wide open; pictured is Jonathan Bailey because I adore him.

The Notts

last updated 04 jun '25

For Hadrian Nott
& Titus Nott
A mostly traditional UCPB family, who bought up and currently reside at the Hellington Cross estate, a country house near Seething, Norfolk. They are, in Hadrian's opinion, rather mundane and ordinary – so of course he set out to distinguish himself. Now he's home, and they're a happy family again. Or they're... trying to be?

HEPHAESTUS NOTT

B.1836 | UCPB | MINISTRY / WIZENGAMOT | PB: IAIN GLEN
Brother to Atalanta Hart et al, Hephaestus Nott is a practical man. He is judicious, family-oriented and concerned with being well-respected. He can tolerate some amount of independence or going against the grain, as long as it's carried out sensibly. Unfortunately, the firstborn son he thought he was moulding in his image turned out to be something of a deliquent and disappointment, and not very sensible at all. He lives in perpetual exasperation, though his wife constantly tries to soften his edges when it comes to – well, anything. (He's growing concerned about Hadrian's influence on Cleo, though.) His health has always been his downfall – any wishes for a more active career were stalled in his youth by his delicate constitution, and after years of having been cautioned of this, he is now something of a hypochondriac, and forever making threats about "after I'm gone..."

AURELIA NOTT NEE _____

B.1841 | UCPB | SOCIALITE | PB: HELENA BONHAM CARTER
From an upstanding UCPB family, Aurelia's marriage to Hephaestus Nott was arranged – they got to know each other mostly after marriage. Their children brought them closer, because they both strive to show off their happy family, but as individuals, they are starkly different: Aurelia is shallow, frivolous and fanciful, and forever in want of attention. Hadrian has gifted her at least one exotic pet from his travels, and remains very much a mummy's boy. She doesn't usually care to spread gossip herself (but enjoys receiving it; she would be more of a social busybody, only she's rather lazy and impressionable, and never seems to have an idea of what's going on) but makes a special exception for badmouthing Hadrian's ex-wife Cordelia Emsworth, and never mind that she enthusiastically supported their youthful engagement way back when.

LIVIA _____ NEE NOTT

B.1865 | UCPB | SOCIALITE | PB: LILY SULLIVAN
Hadrian and Livia were close in their youth, playmates and near in age – but over the years their paths have diverged considerably, and they have only kept in perfunctory contact with each other. Perhaps their lifestyles have been just too different – Livia had a successful society career, married sensibly and settled down, and has children where Hadrian still doesn't. She may have lost her husband in the intervening years – and if so, Hadrian was not around enough to offer any real sympathies – or is side-eyeing him for his divorce. Although he's looking forward to getting to know his nieces and nephews, he and his sister are not likely to be comfortable with each other nowadays, so it might prove awkward.

CLEOPATRA NOTT

B.1872 | UCPB | ASPIRING ARTIST/NATURALIST/SPINSTER | PB: RUBY PEDERSEN
Now that Cleo has graduated and is not-so-busy doing debutante things, she has (eagerly) inherited Titus' old role of being Hadrian's unofficial assistant-in-chief. Her art classes have given her an adept eye for meticulous scientific drawings of plants and creatures, and she is glad to make practical use of her time doing things other than pursue marriage. Bright and cheerful but equally cynical, she imagines her father will try to make a match for her if she doesn't succeed in society, so she might as well focus on her own hobbies and ambitions in the meantime – and if spending her days organising drawers and drawings of moths doesn't make her much of a "catch", then that is society's loss indeed. She would be quite content to spread her wings in life alone, if it comes to it.

❧ 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”

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. Pictured is Chanel Celaya w/ alternatives open!

“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). Pictured is Alma Jodorowsky w/ alternatives open!

“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”
RESERVED FOR KIT

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!

team PUCEY

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 ;)

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

COSMINA PUCEY

B. 1856 | 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. 1856 | 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.

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

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 Mia McKenna-Bruce 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.

For Zelda Please find some character ideas for Misuse of Muggle Artifacts investigators below! 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.

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 ;) — Last updated May 31st, 2025 — "Silas" MCAB/UCAB | OPEN HOUSE | MISUSE OF MUGGLE ARTIFACTS INVESTIGATOR A bit of a thorn in Zelda's side, "Silas" thinks he should have been the Head of the office. 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 "Gilbert" Gilbert is played by Bee as Noah Farley. "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

AMAZING set by MJ

For Kaatjie Kaat has lived with her Uncle Klaas' family since January 1893, and I am READY TO HAVE THEM PLAYED. Hello friends!  Before we get started, I do have a few policies regarding my adoptables: Please reserve your character with me before apping!

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 ;) — Last updated May 31st, 2025 — Klaas Spaans MCHB| BEAUXBATONS | DUTCH AMBASSADOR / BUSINESS / HOSPITAL? 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 is currently 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. 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.

Still looking as of June 4th, 2025

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!

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)
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!

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!
