In depth

Personality:
Lavender is a willful woman these days, as she always was. She isn't the same giggly girl she used to be back at Hogwarts, growing up had a lot to do with that, but her injuries and subsequent recovery moved her past her proclivity to see the world as a place where only good things happened. Since that time, she's been the sort of person to live in the moment, she doesn't let herself take anything for granted, and she she doesn't waste opportunities. She can be very blunt and to the point when she needs to be, which she finds is quite often. And she's very passionate about the things she thinks are important.

Special Abilities/Strengths/Flaws:
As she was attacked by Fenrir while he was still in his human form, Lavender is not a full werewolf. She does however have some keener senses than most people, and she can get very irritable around the full moon. Of course Lavender tends to have a bit of a temper all month long, it is even more precarious on and around the full moon. Her best subject in school and something that she still likes practicing is Divination, she doesn't put quite the same amount of weight on vague predictions the way she used to, but she does seem the merit in it.

She's not very organized, or more like she's not as organized as one might expect the head of a department at the Ministry to be. So she relies heavily on her assistant to help her make it through the day. Lavender believes in a sort of ordered chaos about her work, everything is always in it's proper place, she just has trouble finding it within that proper place from time to time.

Gender: Female
Nationality: English

Height: 5'7''
Weight: 125
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Long wavy Brown

Distinguishing Marks: Large magical scar running down the front of her neck and the center of her chest

Physical Description:
Lavender is very much the put together sort of person. When she was younger she cared a great deal about how she looked, though it was mostly from a stand point of attracting boys. She went through a phase shortly after she'd finished with schooling where she stopped caring, mostly due to dealing with the after affects of being attacked by Fenrir Greyback at the Battle of Hogwarts.

Now she puts in the effort to make herself put together for herself and no one else, (well maybe a little for Mandy). Though she does have a weakness for old tshirts and jeans around the house. She has long wavy dark brown hair that she keeps down around her shoulders most often, though she pulls it up when she's working, usually using a pencil or whatever she has lying around to keep it out of her face. She has a fair complexion and dark brown eyes.

History

Lavender was a very spoiled child growing up, as such she turned out to be a teenager who was less concerned with the important things in life and more concerned with her popularity and social standing at school. She made friends easily and was what some could call an airhead. She did join Dumbledore's Army when it was formed and as such it lead to her being present at the Battle of Hogwarts where she was subsequently attacked by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback. She was lucky that Greyback was in his human form and she was not turned into a full werewolf though she does suffer from some of the effects of werewolfism, she has shorter temper during and around the full moon, and some increased sense abilities.

She is quite scarred from her run in with Greyback something which vexed her grately when she was younger. She used her long hair, scarves, and glamours to cover the scars as much as she could. These days she is less concerned with people seeing them scars but she doesn't flaunt them.

Lavender had several short lived romances during her twenties but nothing really stuck, there was Seamus Finnigan, and a few other blokes she met through work and friends, it was late in her late twenties whens he decided to focus instead on her career instead of her love life. And she became something of a workaholic.

It was in 2013 that she reconnected with Mandy Brocklehurst, the two had been old friends from school and they just fit, more than anyone Lavender had ever met before. And she knew they would stay together. And it was in 2017 that her father passed away due to a heart attack, the man always worked himself to the bone, much to his wife's dismay.

Throughout all her growth in her personal and love lives, Lavender was busy pursuing a career. She was very wary of the Ministry early on but she was very much the idealist and took a low ranking job as a secretary while she worked on figuring out just where in the Ministry she would fit best. Over the years she worked her way up in the Werewolf Support Services area of the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures until she became head of the department. The treatment and acceptance of werewolves is something that is very important to Lavender and something that she works tirelessly towards.
