F A M I L Y

Mother. Rosaline Macnair
Father. Marcus Parkinson
Other family. Hemera Macnair - maternal grandmother.

Pansy had a fairly happy childhood, having been brought up in a well off pureblood family. However she was always more of a daddy's girl, winding him around her little finger to get what she wanted whenever her mother didn't approve. Her being sent off to Queen Maeve's at the age of 9 caused a rift between her and her mother that still carries on until present day. Rosaline Macnair felt Pansy should be tutored before attending Hogwarts because she was born late into the year and thus had to wait to attend until the year she'd be 12, instead of 11.

Clubs. Pansy was a member of Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad during her fifth year.

Instead of finishing her homework early, or studying her lesson for the following day, Pansy preferred to hang around with Slytherin friends, read a book or do something else entirely. However Pansy was the queen of procrastination, she always managed to scrape it together by the time class rolled around. Often enough that included sneaking into the common room after curfew, or finishing up between classes.

Hermione Granger once described her as 'thicker than a concussed troll', but Pansy's actually far from stupid. Granted, she's not Granger, but who is? She's actually quite intelligent if she would learn to use that brain of hers instead of parroting the principles that seem to have been ingrained since birth. At least that is about to change.
O C C U P A T I O N

Pansy always relied on the fact that she would probably be married not long after she left school and would never actually have to earn a living. Foolish dreams, of course. Basically she has no idea what she wants to do, or what she's capable of doing. Yes, her grades are more than decent and she has a few talents, but at this point, Pansy is not really interested in doing anything. She will hate the idea of Summer School, but will hold out until she takes her N.E.W.T.s. After that, the world is pretty much open.


P E R S O N A L I T Y

5 words that describe your character.

  • Bullying Bitch: I'm quite sure Pansy's been called this numerous times behind her back. Pansy has had a habit of picking on people because of their appearance, bloodline or just because she didn't like their face or House. It's an easy way of establishing yourself as superior, while being able to hide your own insecurities. And yes, even Pansy Parkinson has insecurities.


  • Emotional Detachment: Pansy never was allowed to be herself. Even from a young age, she was expected to talk and behave a certain way. Pansy adapted to that as her 'true' self, merely because she didn't know any better. In the present day, every real emotion or thought that doesn't fit into her expected behaviour disappears behind a mask. She taught herself to distance herself, but sometimes things strike a little too close to home and the mask will slip. It's hard for outsiders to determine whether Pansy's reactions are sincere or simply part of the facade she keeps up, but with all that's happened recently, her mask will be slipping more and more as time progresses.


  • Sharp tongue: Like her bullying, Pansy hides herself behind hateful comments and a sharp tongue. Her mouth tends to run away from her and her shout out in the Great Hall wasn't the first thing that ever caused her trouble. She prefers to strike before she can be hurt. It's a basic defense mechanism, which she inherited from her mother, but it doesn't make her popular amongst her peers. Not even to those who are generally closer to her.


  • Unbalanced mind: Because of her upbringing, Pansy was always torn apart between the dreamy child she once was and between the woman she was brought up to be. While at home, she could retreat into her room to read or play the piano, lost to the rest of the world; but at school, she was expected to hold up a certain pride concerning her bloodline and the principles that have been ingrained since a young age. The war and its consequences - her father going to trial and her mother trying to keep the family name out of the press - will affect her greatly, causing her carefully constructed persona to falter and become unhinged. After all, it is only a matter of time.


  • Opportunist: Chances come and go and one must take what you can in order to achieve any kind of progress. That is one of the things Pansy feels most strongly about. Even with her housemates, she has few close friends and in the end, she feels she can only count on herself to dig herself out of the mess she's made for herself. She's ambitious to create a comfortable life for herself, even if that means overcoming the obstacles that happen upon her path. She will take a chance if she sees one; even if it's the lesser of two evils.



  • Likes. Playing the piano, having a good time with friends, reading, solitude, Draco.
    Dislikes. Being cornered, being wrong, crying, Draco.

    S E C R E T S   A N D   G O S S I P

    Secrets.
    Pansy plays the piano, how scandalous! Pansy wanted to be like her father, a Death Eater, and was quite willing to enter Voldemort's ranks just to please him. However Marcus saw her intention for what it was and kept her away from the Death Eaters instead.

    Gossip.
    I suspect Pansy's foolishness before the Battle may be mentioned when the trials begin, including that of her father. Anything other regarding her previous affiliation with Draco (TBD by Draco's player of course!) or other things concerning her family are up for grabs. Drag her through the mud. I bet there'll be plenty of that around!

    H I S T O R Y


    Pansy was brought up in a well off pureblood family and had a fairly happy childhood. As an only child, she was pampered and used to getting what she wanted, but that changed when she was sent to Queen Meave's at the age of 9. She never fit in quite well as she was a slow reader and a dreamy child who would rather look out the window than pay any attention at all.

    Needless to say, her interest in classes had almost been reduced to none when she boarded the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to start her first year. However she never failed of her classes, she barely took the effort to study. From her personal start at Hogwarts, she fit right into the Slytherin house atmosphere while developing affection for Draco Malfoy over the following years. Looking back, she thought it was foolish, but nothing can change the past.

    At Hogwarts, she took great interest in subjects like Ancient Runes and Divination while classes like History of Magic and Astronomy were completely lost on her. When her O.W.L. year rolled around, Pansy became part of Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad and however she revelled in her new power, she was more anxious about her O.W.L.s than anything else. By the time the exams started, she was exhausted from doing her studying mostly in the evening and late at night. She received decent grades, with a few Outstandings even, but nothing she would ever admit to her housemates.

    During her last three years at Hogwarts, she strongly believed in Voldemort's ideals, which fit the mental picture she had been fed since childhood. She never went as far as joining the Death Eaters, but the thought had crossed her mind more than once. Instead, she supported from the sidelines, denouncing all logic as she did. Pansy didn't fight in the final battle, but was led out of the Great Hall when the Death Eaters were standing at the gates.

    She is unsure of what is next. Her father is awaiting trial, her mother is at home, trying her hand at damage control while she still can. Pansy realises her running mouth is likely to come back and bite her in the arse, but there's nothing she can do about it now. She has to face the consequences, maybe keep quiet for a while. Who knows what happens when she has to face the outside world again?




    S A M P L E S

    First Person Journal Entry.

    It's over.

    It's only starting now.

    It's never really over, is it?

    Third Person Narrative.

    It's over. Voldemort and his followers have been defeated. At least, that's what the teacher said who came to fetch the students who left the Great Hall before the battle began. After she opened that stupid mouth of hers. Pansy watched the students being led away, but she stayed behind, wandering over to the window instead. Down below, she could see the others. Aurors, teachers, students... Holding each other up, laughing, crying, limping... She could see the corpses, surrounded by family members, friends or boths. She felt nothing at that. Shouldn't she at least feel something? Shouldn't she be disappointed that Voldemort did not triumph over all Muggle-loving fools?

    Her fingers begin to turn cold from where they are pressed against the stones. Numbness is all that she felt as she watched the scene below. It didn't seem real, like being in a dream. She never thought it would come this far. Too late. It's done now. The war is over, but yet for her, it's about to start. All that she knew is going to be torn apart. And yet, she feels nothing.

    The Death Eaters that survived are being led away, their masks removed, their heads down. She can't make out their faces from her spot by the window, but her heart is chilled nonetheless. There is one man amongst them whose posture is eerily familiar. The short dark hair, the slump of his shoulders... As she wonders, he lifts his head as he looks up - up to the window where she is watching. Recognition is immediate in those hazel eyes and Pansy feels tears well up in her own. She hasn't cried for a long time, but she does so now. Not because the purebloods lost their cause, but like a daughter who cries for her father who is being taken away; and who's likely never to come home again.

    Too late now. All's been done. Reality is here. And Pansy's at its mercy.



    P L O T   I D E A S

    I would love to explore what happened during that last year with Pansy and Draco. How they drifted apart, how the end of this war affects them now... J.K. made them not meant to be because Pansy's the epitome of all the mean girls that she hated, I think I should at least try to give her some closure with Draco.

    Talking about mean girls... Pansy is definitely not going to be popular. Not that she was well-liked before, but she just had to open that stupid mouth of hers... Mhm. I think there could be lots of harsh words, a few physical fights. For all I care, you can corner her and give her the beating of her life. We can work that out, I'm sure!

    Pansy's father was captured during the Battle of Hogwarts and is awaiting trial. Since she was more of a daddy's girl, this will definitely affect her. I have a few ideas here that I would have to talk to the mods about... I would love to throw her troubled relationship with her mother into play as well. I'd love to see her family fall apart, bring down that high and mighty pride of hers. After all, she's just a 17-year old girl as well.

    Apart from all the misery, I'd love for her to have at least one friend she can talk to. Not even Pansy should be truly alone in this post-war mess. She'll spend a lot of time on her own, reflecting and trying to figure out what's next for her. Realisation is dawning, and it's coming down hard.

    Hi!

    We love Pansy! We're just curious about what Queen Meave's is. Would you be able to elaborate a bit about what that is please?

    Oh wow, awkward...

    Okay. Queen Maeve's can be seen as a sort of magical pre-school for children between the ages of 5 and 10 years old; except for the fact that there's no obligation to send your child there to be educated prior to going to Hogwarts. Queen Maeve (from the Chocolate Frog Card) used to be responsible for the education of young witches and wizards, long before Hogwarts even existed.

    Now, I admit it is a piece of information I've been using in Pansy's application for as long as I've played her (since 2007, I think), so the research also was a long time ago... And I've just noticed that I probably constructed it from the chocolate frog card info that says 'she was responsible for the education of blabla... before Hogwarts'. Hm. Like I said, awkward. Since I always figured it was one of those things on the HP lexicon that had been mentioned by JK at some point. Apparently, it's not.

    Bottom line, I can change it to private tutoring if you'd prefer that. However, I think it fits Pansy's family to choose to send her to such a preschool for such a dumb reason as being born late into the year.

    Sorry this is taking so long to get back to you. The holidays are crazy.

    That's totally fine! It just wasn't a name that rang any bells with us so we were a little 0.o but that makes sense!
