Link to image: http://th01.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2 personally... Strengths: - Loving - for those people Fleur actually allows close enough to see her true character, Fleur is unceasingly caring. She's cared for Bill throughout his injuries, having mastered basic first aid spells that she would need once she joined the Order and when her sister was caught in the Triwizarding tournament had tried everything she could to get her back. - Loyal - Like her willingness to stand by Bill through his injury, Fleur is not about to turn away from those she cares regardless of the situation. - Intellectual - Fleur prefers serious and intellectual discussions, she likes expanding her mind, and despite the language issues can usually hold her own in a conversation, so long as people are patient with her. - Magical – Fleur excels at Charms, as seen by her performance in the Tri-Wizarding tournament. Fleur was also quite brilliant at Arithmancy and Potions whilst at school. She is an excellent duellist as well. Weaknesses: - Closed off - As a part Veela, Fleur possesses the ability to make men fall over each other to do things for her, because of this, she has a very hard time running across any genuine feelings, and as such tends to be very wary with new people, which makes her often appear cold and aloof. - Vanity - Fleur knows well how beautiful she is, and often takes pride in this matter. - French - Fleur's grasp of the English language is also a bit of a problem; she tries hard to make her meanings come across, but more often than not her helpful comments come across sounding rude and snippy. - Magical – Fleur has never been very good animals and plans and for this reason she was quite rubbish at Herbology and COMC. Overall 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 known 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 woman, and knows quite well what she wants, and how she's going to get it.That includes Bill Weasley familiar relations Parents: Apolline and Carbonelle Delacour Siblings: Gabrielle Delacour – 10 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. Relationship Status: Single; for now. Dating Bill Weasley Children: None Others: what's in the past? Give a brief explanation of how this character is different than in canon: Well aware of the political climate in Europe and the UK, Fleur has done her best to keep her loyalties in check. In order to help her get settled in the new country, Fleur joined Grindewald’s Army. She doesn’t necessarily believe in his principles, but she does know that she can't survive in the UK on her own. Overall 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 Fleur attended Beauxbatons she was already quite used to getting everything she could possibly want, and was scarcely told no. As such, it was quite shocking for her to suddenly find out that indeed, the world did not revolve around her. In fact, the entire fact that classes, and teachers and other students weren’t at all interested in her was downright astounding. As years passed, girls at her school hated spending time with Fleur, as it would often mean that they may lose their boyfriends as the boys tried, in vain, to win her heart. When she was younger, Fleur would often use this to her advantage, to toy with someone who'd been mean to her, or ruin someone's chances with certain boys. As a result Fleur quickly earned a reputation at Beauxbatons, that of the girl everyone wanted to be friends with but secretly hated. As such, Fleur was very selective with the people she allowed close to her. She needed to trust her friends, and she found this matter to be quite difficult. Nevertheless, Fleur learned quickly whom to trust and how to do well in her new location. With each coming year, Fleur learned more about her school, the students and social behaviour. Beauxbatons quickly became her new home, and the few friends she made in the process would become her closes friends for life. Although she would have several boyfriends throughout her years at Beauxbatons, Fleur would find her 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. Adept at both her studies and her homework, Fleur did well in all of her classes, and although she didn’t study much, Fleur was fairly intelligent and achieved high marks in most of her classes. It was for this reason, that in her final year, when the Triwizarding Tournament was announced, Fleur was more than excited to join in the adventure. As she boarded the carriage, Fleur 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, and when she was chosen as champion, she was absolutely over the moon. As one of three chosen champions, Fleur found herself striking up a unique friendship with both Viktor Krum and Cedric Diggory. Although they were actually competing against each other, having to go through the same trial and tasks meant they shared far more than anyone would think. 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, Fleur found that she was still quite proud of her achievements and her participation in all tasks. With Fleur in France and Roger in the UK, the couple ended things shortly after her return to France. Indeed even after returning to France, Fleur would continue to write to both Cedric and Viktor, even owling Roger at times. The rest of the school year completed really quickly and soon Fleur was going home for the last time. Fleur finished her schooling at Beauxbatons not long after she returned from England. She was fairly disappointed to be graduating, only because she was concerned about her future, not knowing what it would mean. Although Harry Potter had claimed that the Dark Lord had returned, Fleur 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 her 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. other 150 (maximum) Word Blurb: Cold, calculating and drop-dead gorgeous, Fleur Delacour has the ability to bring grown wizards to their knees. It’s hardly an ability that has gone amiss to the Ministry and the French witch has no qualms about using this to her advantage. A Grindewald Army member, Fleur has been making her mark among the loyal, whilst working at Gringotts. Bright, intelligent, and one of the Tri-wizarding champions, Fleur may not be the blonde airhead one may expect. Possible Plotlines: - I would like to get her involved with the Order. Her involvement in Grindewald’s army’s mostly been out of necessity, but she’d be in a good position to work as a double agent of sorts for the Order. To give her plot, I was thinking this could be incorporated over the following months, rather than have it pre-established. - I’d like to keep her relationship with Bill quiet, so his family would know, which would allow her that step toward the order, but not have it be public knowledge, if we can manage it? - Interaction with Roger, as her former boyfriend of sorts. casting couch Link to 1st person: http://users.insanejournal.com/fleu Link to 3rd person: http://users.insanejournal.com/fleur_/5 |
