Who is Your Character?
Full Name: Orla Bridget Quirke
Nicknames: None
Age/Birthday: 20// May 7th, 1983
House and Years Attended: Ravenclaw 1994 - 2001
Blood Status: Pureblooded
Occupation: Clerical Worker at the Ministry of Magic (if that works)
Alliance: Death Eater supporter
Status in Society : In Society, Death Eater- supporive
Boggart: Orla Quirke's Boggart regrettably takes the shape of her own mother. (See family for details)
Patronus: Dophin
Personality: Orla is a focused individual, during her schooling at Hogwarts she was consumed by her studies and and extremely anxious girl regarding her grades/performance, an anxiety which only intensified when she was taken out of the classroom setting and put into a social situation. Although she outgrew this social anxiety by her fourth year, she still preferred the solitude of her own space in the Ravenclaw dorms or her usual table in the library in comparison to social functions and Hogsmeade visits.
When Orla is thrown into a social situation and forced to speak, she often loses the common sense that allows her to filter what she should and shouldn't say and is often times very blunt without intending to be.
Deep down inside, Orla enjoys simpler things in life and harbors no ill will towards muggles and muggle-borns-- in fact she's a secret fan of their music and baked goods-- however Orla's family and her own focus on her personal success drove her to declare herself as a supporter of the Dark Lord's followers. Orla is incredibly book-smart and logical, however the application of logic to real life situations particularly inter-personal ones is difficult for her.
Unless you know her exceptionally well-- which most have yet to accomplish-- Orla is not very talkative but rather relies on facial expressions in her communications and often sticks to herself, however once someone has earned her own trust she becomes more extroverted in their presence. In fact, the way that her personality can change is so drastic that her father used to claim it would give him whiplash.
Family and Friends:
Family:
Kian Quirke-- Father
Rosalie Quirke-- Mother (deceased)
Orla is an only child rarely sees any extended members of her family, her closest relationships were with her parents. Her father, Kian Quirke, was her mentor and confidant growing up as she did not often associate with children her own age. He was the most understanding of her anxiety and the most nurturing in her upbringing.
However her mother, Rosalie, came from a long line of Purebloods who often held their alliance with the Dark Lord. Rosalie was incredibly disappointed when her daughter was sorted into Ravenclaw and embarrassed by Orla's social anxiety. Her mother was constantly condescending and often reprimanded Orla for things outside of her control which drove Orla to become nervous at the mere mention of her mother. Orla's mother passed away during Orla's fourth year --around the same time Orla's anxiety went away-- because of this correlation, Orla felt exceptionally guilty for finding relief in her own mother's passing. Orla since then has tweaked her public persona to be one that her mother would be more proud of. Her mother is still the driving force behind Orla's alliance and her need to get ahead in life no matter what the cost.
Friends:
Due to her social anxiety leading her to be a "late bloomer" socially, Orla wasn't able to form many lasting relationships in her first few years at Hogwarts and after her mother's passing associating with her classmates was not her priority. During her schooling she did manage to develop and intense crush on fellow Ravenclaw Roger Davies that lasted from her first year until his graduation from Hogwarts. Outside of school, Orla's closest relationship aside from her father was with the house elf.
Currently, Orla maintains distant but pleasant relationships with those she works with and those who share her alliance, however she's yet to make many more than just an acquaintance.
Appearance: Orla was always exceptionally tall for her age until sixth year when she stopped getting taller and everyone continued-- now she's considerably petite for her age. She holds a striking resemblance to her mother with her blonde hair and blue eyes and fair complexion (similarities she often likes to try and forget). Orla could never be called unattractive, however at the same time she never did anything to draw much attention to herself, avoiding fitted clothing and cosmetic charms. She likes to present herself professionally and modestly in her attire and general demeanor. Now that she is no longer a student, she focuses primarily on work and her wardrobe choices are often extremely office-appropriate. As a quiet person, Orla is incredibly dependent on facial expressions and while some might assume that that makes her easy to read it makes it more difficult as over the years Orla has trained her ability to control her expressions to communicate only what she wants the outside world to comprehend.
PB: Evan Rachel Wood
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Achievements (OWLS, NEWTS, Animagus, Quidditch, etc.): 10 OWLs, including 9 Outstandings, and 1 Exceeds Expectations. 7 NEWTs, including 5 Outstandings and 2 Exceeds Expectations.
Hobbies (Quidditch, Astronomy, Chess, Gob Stones): Enjoys reading and chess, also is an avid Quidditch fan but does not like to fly herself. In the privacy of her own home, Orla also enjoys baking and listening to music, however these are aspects of her personality that she does not divulge to anyone else in fear of compromising her own alliance.
How Does Your Character Feel About Their Alliance: Orla herself was never exceptionally sympathetic to the Dark Lord and his followers, rather she uses her Alliance as a tool in hopes of advancing in her career and as a way to ensure that she isn't deprived of any right due to neutrality or support of the Order now that the Wizarding world is under the Dark Lord's control.
Are you will to have your character killed in game: Well...not quite yet since this is just the application stage, but if it's decided that it's necessary for the plot I'd gladly make it happen and apply for another character.
Biography: Orla was born on May 7th, 1983 to Kian and Rosalie Quirke. As a child Orla was a bit of a shut-in, only associating herself with her father and the house elf and living in fear of her mother and her disapproval. Orla displayed her magical capabilities at a very young age and was even able to make sense of them before she began her schooling at Hogwarts. She was considered advanced for her age and was always eager to learn more.
During her time at Hogwarts, she continued her education as a bit of a loner, the majority of her conversations were had with her professors or only when they became a necessity with her classmates. Most people took her for shy, others took her for being stuck up-- however she the truth was that she suffered from social anxiety and was just more comfortable focusing on schoolwork. During her fourth year, her mother passed away which incidentally relieved some of Orla's social anxiety due to the animosity in their relationship. This realization immediately filled Orla with grief which led to her pulling away from her peers even more and attempting to change herself to be someone her mother would approve of.
Believing that it would have been her mother's will, when the Dark Lord rose into power Orla quickly announced her alliance and did everything she could to train herself to be a productive member of society under this new dark rule. Despite all of this, Orla is not prejudice against muggles and muggleborns (but rather enjoys some aspects of their lifestyle that she managed to discover as a child when her father took her into Muggle London). Although Orla is apathetic towards the conflict going on in the world, she uses her position as a supporter of the Dark Lord's rule as a tool to advance herself in society and at her work.
Since graduation, Orla has taken a position as a clerical worker at the Ministry in hopes of working her way up the ladder and finding herself in a stable job. Similar to her habits as a student, work is Orla's primary concern and she still often deprives herself of social action.
