Appearance:
Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe Fleur. She's tall, standing nearly 5 feet 10 inches tall, and has a very light, nearly delicate frame; with long silvery-blonde hair, Fleur embodies the traditional sense of beauty. Whilst she does possess this classical beauty, Fleur also has a strangeness to her beauty, almost as if there was something slightly different about her; unusual, though not in a bad way. One quarter Veela, Fleur has inherited some of the traits of her granmére, though she doesn't have the deadly capabilities the Veela do. Instead, Fleur possesses the nearly silver coloured blonde hair, and the uncanny ability to make men fall in love with her.

Unfortunately as she is not full-blooded, Fleur does not have complete control of this ability, nor does she have quite the magical effect the creatures do,. Instead, men find her incredibly enchanting when they meet her, though the more time they spend around her, the less the ability affects them. This is how Fleur is able to interact with her friends and family, though when she goes new places, such as her first arrival at Hogwarts, men often jump to attention. As Fleur grew up, she found that she was able to control this power to a certain extent, and having matured over time, she no longer feels the need to be constantly adored by men, though she will admit that she finds it terribly flattering; most of the time.

Personality: Fleur will admit that she was difficult to deal with when she was younger. However, she will swear that this is a matter of the past, and has changed considerably since then. As when she was younger, Fleur will allow few people to become close to her. She can never be certain whom to trust, and as such does not have many close friends. However those people whom she considers friends mean the world to her. Unceasingly loyal, Fleur has always done her best to be there for her friends. She was there for Bill when he suffered his attack, and had hoped to be there through all of the problems they faced afterwards.

An avid fan of education and reading, Fleur's actually far more intellectual than one might expect. As she was always treated like a dumb blonde, Fleur started using her intelligence in order to improve her grades and develop her mind. She hopes to be able to prove to people that there's so much more beneath the pretty exterior. Part of her actually desires to be able to hold her own in her conversation, perhaps it's her competitive nature in play or her inquisitive mind, but Fleur rather enjoys being able to say "ha! I bested you!" in intellectual discussions, though clearly decorum wouldn't permit her to say such things out loud. Though she'd been knwon to think it on more than one occasion.

As the eldest daughter, and for nine years the only daughter of a wealthy Parisian purblooded family, Fleur was spoiled rotten as a child. Always expecting the best, and receiving it of course, Fleur found that there wasn't anything her parents or extended family would deny her as she grew up, and her powers developed, Fleur found that this extended past her own family, and she could manipulate people in any way she wanted, to get what she felt she deserved. Over the years Fleur has matures, though she does often expect the finer things and life, and has come to expect the best. She is a determined young women, and knows quite well what she wants, and how she's going to get it. It's one of the main reasons she eventually married Bill, the best man she'd ever met. He, as all of the other fine things in life, were meant for her.

Family:
Husband; William Weasley -
Bill is the love of Fleur’s life. She first saw him whilst at Hogwarts during the Triwizarding tournament. She’d noticed him immediately, and had in fact been staring quite a bit. He was tall, handsome, and had that brooding look about him that Fleur couldn’t help but love. Fleur and Bill's relationship has been through its ups and downs in the past two years, but Fleur only loves Bill more than ever. Although they do have their share of arguments, the pair get on quite well.
Father;Apolline Delacour
Mother; Carbonelle Delacour
Sister;Gabrielle Delacour - 12 years old
Although the girls are very far off in age, Fleur really cares for her sister and she has always been a very important figure in her life. Fleur has always looked out for her sister, and now that she is growing into a young woman, Fleur has every desire to be there for her sister, helping to guide her and be there for anything she should need.
In-laws; Molly and Arthur Weasley
Things hadn’t started off nearly as well with her future in-laws as Fleur would have liked. It was easy to win over Arthur, after all he was a man, and she had sway over their sort. Molly, on the other hand, was incredibly difficult to win over. Fleur tried really hard to convince Molly that she was right for her child, but it would seem that anything she did would to be good enough. She understood that Molly was concerned for her son but Fleur was convinced that if she only tried hard enough one day Molly would come to accept her.
Brother-in-law; Charlie Weasley
Fleur sometimes thinks that Charlie is the only Weasley family member on her side. Like most men, Charlie's not immune to Fleur's charms, though as Bill's closest brother he's made a distinct effort to get to know Fleur. Fleur find him funny, entertaining, and certainly fun to be around.
Brother-in-law; Percy Weasley
Brother-in-law; Fred and George Weasley
Brother-in-law; Ron Weasley – 17 years old
Fleur cannot help but adore Ron. He’s always been partially in love with her, and somehow she can’t help but find him adorable for it. Although Fleur has never been really fond of how some men react around her, Ron has always been amusing and entertaining even as he tries to show off.
Sister-in-law; Ginny Weasley – 16 years old
Ginny is Fleur’s favourite sister-in-law. Regardless of how little the fiery red-head cares for her, Fleur found herself often admiring the younger girl. She has a really strong character, a great person, and part of her has always wanted to be a little more like her.

History:
April 2nd, 1977 the Delacours welcomed their first child into their family. Like her mother, the new baby girl was incredibly beautiful, even at birth. Seeing her daughter in her arms, Apolline decided to name her Fleur Isabelle Delacour, as she was as beautiful as a flower. Carbonelle was slightly disappointed to see that his first child was not a son, though when he first looked at his beautiful girl, he instantly fell in love. As the only child for years, Fleur was doted upon and spoiled as much as her parents could manage. When she was younger, Fleur was provided with everything that she could ever wish for, and as she grew, so did her tastes.

With only one child to care for, Carbonelle and Apolline dedicated much of their home life to ensuring that Fleur’s grew up well, and that nothing could ever stop her from achieving her dreams. Although the Delacours were by no means well off, they were very comfortable, and Carbonelle was able to easily provide for his wife and child. As the child of traditionalists, Fleur grew up in a all magical household, with all of the values and traditions of the older magical families of France. Although the traditions felt a little silly to Fleur, she really didn’t mind them most of the time, and had a fairly enjoyable and carefree childhood.

A few short weeks before her 10th birthday, Fleur’s younger sister was born. Gabrielle was the highlight of Fleur’s young life. The event had a massive impact on Fleur who immediately took a liking to the little baby girl and liked to pretend that Gabrielle was her little plaything, her doll. Although she only had two years to know her sister before going off to school, Fleur spent about as much as she possibly could with her new baby sister. Although Beauxbatons would tear her away from her new baby sister, Fleur would continue to write to Gabrielle, and spend as much time with her whenever she was at home.

By the time Florent attended Beauxbatons he was already quite used to getting everything he could possibly want, and was scarcely told no. As such, it was quite shocking for him to suddenly find out that indeed, the world did not revolve around him. In fact, the entire fact that classes, and teachers and other students weren’t at all interested in him.

Nevertheless, Florent learned quickly whom to trust and how to do well in his new location. With each coming year, Florent learned more about his school, the students and social behaviour. Beauxbatons quickly became his new home, and the few friends she made in the process would become his closes friends for life. Although she would have several boyfriends throughout his years at Beauxbatons, Florent would find his girl friends to be the most significant friendships made whilst at the school. It was how they didn’t react to her, the way they treated her that helped cement their friendship.

As years passed and Florent got older, boys at his school started to hate spending time with Florent, as it would often mean that they may lose their girlfriends as the girls tried, in vain, to win his heart. When he was younger, Florent would often use this to his advantage, to toy with someone who'd been mean to him, or ruin someone's chances with certain boys. As a result Florent quickly earned a reputation at Beauxbatons, that of a playboy, despite the fact that Florent hadn’t actually dated many people. As such, Florent was very selective with the people he allowed close to him. He needed to trust his friends, and he found this matter to be quite difficult.

Adept at both his studies and his homework, Florent did well in all of his classes, and although he didn’t study much, Florent was fairly intelligent and achieved high marks in most of his classes. It was for this reason, that in his final year, when the Triwizarding Tournament was announced, Florent was more than excited to join in the adventure. As she boarded the carriage, Florent was quite confident that she would be chosen as the Beauxbatons champion, and certain that she would emerge victorious.

The trip to Hogwarts turned out to be an interesting venture in more than one way. She was incredibly excited to begin the tournament, although the process seemed to have taken a nasty turn from the very beginning. What promised to be a great venture was nearly completely ruined as a fourth champion, and a Hogwarts one at that was chosen! Florent bit his tongue, after loudly protesting for a few days and soon adjusted to the idea of a fourth champion. It wasn’t long before Harry actually grew on his a little. Sure, he was young, and a little weird, but he was the Harry Potter!

Each task was harder than the last, but Fleur did her best, excelling at her charm work and quick thinking as she dodged the dragons. It would have worked, if the dragon hadn’t snored and singer her skirt. Still, she managed to get the egg in the end, which was really what mattered. The pressure of the following task was thankfully lessened slightly with the announcement of the Yule Ball. Although she originally wanted to attend with Cedric, his date with Cho meant Fleur had to find a suitable partner. She’d been disappointed, but quickly found a suitable replacement in Roger Davies. He turned out to be a rather lovely bloke, if not a little star struck, as they generally were.
Like the first task, Fleur had been warned by Madame Maxime how to attain her hint. Knowing that she’d have to dive into the lake, Fleur practiced the bubble-head charm for days. What she hadn’t expected was that her little sister’s life was going to on the line. Her good luck didn’t last long at all when the Grindilows attacked her, forcing Fleur to turn around. She gained few points, but what mattered most to Fleur had been the safety of her sister. When Viktor and Cedric returned with their hostages, Fleur had to be physically restrained from rushing back into the water to try and save her sister. As luck would have it, the organisers returned Gabrielle to her sister and Fleur and Gabrielle were happily reunited.

Although she would not know this until much later, it was shortly before the third task that Fleur would meet her soul mate. She’d found Bill very attractive from the start, even though she had been dating Roger Davies at the time. She’d only seen him from a distance but would come to leave a lasting impression on her. As she prepared herself for the task at hand, Fleur had been fairly excited. She was nowhere near winning, having gotten the lowest point to date, but she was still fairly certain that thing could still turn around for her. After all, she was brilliant! Indeed, she’d done extremely well in the final task as she found her way to the reaching the cup before any of the other contestants. It wasn’t enough for her to win the tournament, but nothing negative could be said of her performance.

She hadn’t won the tournament but as she returned to France, Florent found that she was actually fairly happy not to have won. Nonetheless, it was such a tragic ending to what had been a fairly fun competition. Fleur had truly cared for Cedric, and his death had devastated her. She, like the rest of his classmates, returned to Beauxbatons with heavy heart. The rest of the school year completed really quickly and soon Florent was going home for the last time.

Florent graduated from Beauxbatons not long after she returned from England. She was fairly disappointed to be graduating, only because she was concerned about his future, not knowing what It would mean. Although Harry Potter had claimed that the Dark Lord had returned, Florent was actually not that worried. In fact, shortly after returning to France, she started working on an application for a position at Gringotts. She'd been hoping to study finance, but after his time at Hogwarts decided she wanted to do so in England. The position at Gringotts, working as a clerk and helping with translations when necessary allowed her to get that.

She was to graduate in the summer of 1995 and shortly thereafter moved to England to start her new job at Gringotts. It was there that, as luck would have it, she'd run across the very fit Bill Weasley. He, like so very many other blokes, asked her out several months after she started working at Gringotts. Unlike the rest, Fleur actually found herself saying yes and they went out to dinner the following weekend. What followed was an amazing and intense romance as Fleur fell deeply in love.

In the summer of 1996, Bill suffered an attack by a non-transformed werewolf. The attack was terrible, and Bill was left nearly disfigured. Fleur, faithful as ever, stood at Bills side, and contrary to what everyone had assumed, did not leave him in spite of his newly acquired deformities. Fleur really did love Bill, and he meant the world to her. They were engaged shortly thereafter, and Fleur immediately began to plan the gorgeous, expensive wedding she’d always dreamed of; making sure to drag her parents and younger sister from France.

On the 23rd of July, 1997, Fleur married Bill in front of all of their friends and family at the Burrow. The wedding went off without a hitch, practically a miracle considering the conditions following the war. It was by far the very best day of young life, and Fleur has cherished every moment of her married life, happy to have Bill by her side through what are sure to be several trying months.

What are your plans for this character in the game: I'd like her to take some sort of action with the Order, help them. Maybe have Victorie early if we get a good Bill, dunno?
Where did you hear about us? I work here ;)

Writing Samples

First Person:
Our new home looks absolutely beautiful! I cannot wait until we can finally move in. It is the prettiest place, I do not know where Bill found it, but I fell in love the moment I saw it. Hopefully, we can move in very soon though there is much paperwork to sign and things to arrange.

[Private to Bill]
What do you think of blue? and maybe Peach for the guest room?

I love you.

Third Person:
Fleur sighed ever so slightly as she stirred the potion with her a flick of her wand. She'd been doing her very best in the last few days to stay out of everyone's way and not to be a bother, and so far it really seemed to be going well. At leasts she really hoped so. She'd done well at the execution, of course, having injured a few death Eaters but that had resulted in her fair share of injuries, which thankfully had healed fairly quickly. Now all that was left was to help pick up the pieces; she'd decided to help out the current efforts by making Potions. She'd always been quite good at them, and it was certainly one of the few things she could do quite well without mucking it up. When she was younger, part of her had always thought the logical idea, continue on as a Healer, make some use of her favourite subjects, but one's life hardly ever turned out the way one thought it would when one was eleven or twelve.

She would never have thought that she would be one day standing in a hot, stuffy living room, curtains drawn, covered in cuts in bruises from nearly losing her life and her family just 24 hours before, stirring a rather nasty looking goo. Wiping the sweat out of her eyes, Fleur bushed some of the damp hair back toward the ponytail she'd pulled her hair back into earlier that morning. It had been quite hot this past week, and it really didn't help that she was also cooking something iver a very hot fire. Reaching out toward the right of the bubbling pot, Fleur picked up some of the ingredients and lightly sprinkled the little leaves over the maroon liquid. There, that should help the flavour just a little.

Hearing a noise behind her, Fleur smiled; hoping it were Bill. "Oui? 'ow can I 'elp?" she said, before glancing over her shoulder.
