@MiddleEarthRoze I was Blondie trash well before I was Rivaini trash, don't worry. DA2 is pretty much my favourite game honestly. I've been checking this site constantly for a Dragon Age RP as well but I've found nothing so far. I haven't finished ME3 yet. I haven't touched it in months. I forget that guy's name at this point honestly. The guy who works out somewhere. That guy.
As Lior pulled her bag over her shoulder, she noticed another girl in her year had approached her. She could recognize that they had attended classes together, but she couldn't place her name. "Hi, I saw you earlier getting into the carriage. My name Is Meagan Warbeck." she said holding out her hand as she introduced herself.
"Hello," Lior answered with no inflection towards friendliness or hostility. She figured since she didn't know anything about the girl, she should potentially keep the interaction short until she knew more. On the off chance, however, that this person could be of aid to her, she would not be rude for the time being. She smiled. "My name is Lior."
Lior rode alone to Hogwarts. The first year she came, her father escorted her and showed her the way. The second year, she led him, to prove she knew the way, and would not be lost. She was always taught how to keep care of herself, as her parents always had to keep up with work on the farm. They had little help with everything that had to be done daily. There was no time to lose if she could go herself. Still, the journey from her town to Hogwarts was only a few hours of riding, maybe about half a day through rough terrain. If you took the roads, it was longer. Luckily, both she and the horse knew the way through the forests, and there was little danger from animals as long as you travelled by day.
She dismounted from her horse, a chestnut mare she had named Eva. All around her, people were laughing, reuniting with friends, saying farewell to parents, and hurrying along to the school. She watched some of the pureblood students arriving in fancy carriages or in other pompous fashions. She was jealous of their prosperity.
Losing track of where her horse was, Lior started to shove her way through the crowds to reach a thestral-drawn carriage. She realized she had cut in some poorly-organized lines, but no one stopped her and she didn’t care. When the opportunity presented itself, she hopped into the carriage with her pack of belongings. It was smaller than most of the other students’. She tried not to notice.
Many students were excited to be back to see their friends, and, despite Lior’s lack of connections to other people thus far in her Hogwarts career, she was excited as well. For her, Hogwarts felt like a vacation from physical labour on a farm day in and day out. The only one she ever got, and finally, she even found herself thinking about free time throughout the year, instead of all the work she would have to do to catch up to the other students’ knowledge of magic.
No, she thought. Third year is going to be the best yet. She would make it such.
She would be a bit older than this, but this is what I found.
House: Slytherin Wand: Ash with Phoenix feather.
Personality: Lior is an intelligent girl with a good memory. She is skilled at remembering information she is taught, and is rarely ever found studying or taking notes in class. For her, just sitting and listening is often enough to learn, though occasionally it requires more work than that with more complicated subjects. In attending Hogwarts, she wants to come out near the top of her class in order to better herself and how her life was so far. She has ambitions to work in a better field than her parents, a farmer and a barmaid. She doesn't have many scruples on how she does this or what sort of work that may entail. She wants to become on par with the great pureblood houses. She is often quiet, but when she does speak she can be extremely opinionated. If she believes in something she may become relentless in its pursuit. If someone spits at her, she's equally likely to exact immediate revenge with a sharp remark, or just stand taller and wait with a grudge.
Bio: Lior wasn't raised in a rich home, like most of those with wizarding heritage around her at Hogwarts. She grew up living on a small farm with her parents, in an average sized wizarding town in England. Because of this, Lior is very familiar with hard work. She loves animals and learning about magical creatures, and she always has. Her father, Owen, owned the farm and brought livestock to the market for meat and other purposes. Her mother, Moiraine, worked at a local tavern servings drinks in the evening, and because they were such a small, poor family, she often had to help out on the farm during the day as well. As soon as she was old enough to understand, Lior was put to work, and even before that, her father would bring her around with him as he did his work, so she would be familiar with it. She never had a wand until she was 11 and never learned any magic, but she learned other things growing up, like maths and reading. From birth to age 11, Lior barely had a vacation and no friends save her small dog, Lily, who was also their family sheepdog, though they had a good connection. While Lior was still 10 years old, she received a Hogwarts letter. Her parents had always told her she would, but she had never thought much on it or believed it. They were a small, poor family. How could they afford to send her there? From well before her birth, her parents had saved every penny they could until she was 10, when they sent a medium sized sack of coins and a letter to Hogwarts, detailing her bloodline and upbringing. This was the reason her parents didn't have more children (who could've helped out o n the farm), so they could put everything they had into their first. She went off to Hogwarts, meager, second-hand supplies and ratty clothes in hand. Barely in her life had she seen a silver coin, but she did that day in Diagon Alley, and no little more than that. Upon arriving at Hogwarts, she immediately applied herself to catching up to her better-born peers with basic magic. She spent nearly all her time in the library or generally just practicing spells in empty classrooms, teaching herself from books where she could. She wanted to match and surpass the other students. By third year, she has caught up with most of their knowledge, though she sorely neglected her personal life and barely has a friend to speak of.
Plotting: Her parents are wizards but has muggle in her heritage, so some people may just not know what to do with that. She's equally likely to spit on someone more noble than she is or to kiss up to them to advance herself, though she rarely interacts with people for extended periods of time. Now, having caught up in her studies, she will have more time to basically meet the people around her. As she is from a poor background, she's very sensitive about money and would be very tempted by seeing any. Hates charity, of course, but money could easily be a big motivating factor in what she does. She would probably actually like to distance herself from muggleborns and other poor people i order to ain a good reputation.
Family: Her father brought the name Reynes from his muggle father, who married an Avery woman. She left her family avoiding a marriage and set about travelling the world, and eventually settled down with her muggle husband. Lior never understood the woman. On Lior's mother's side, there is no muggle blood as far as it's known. They were just a poor family who have lived in this small town of Rosecliff for as long as anyone can remember. Most other families like that in the city are a bit better off, more middle class and living closer to the center of town, though the Ingram family, somewhere a few generations back, had crippling debt that Moiraine's (Lior's mother) mother only just managed to pay off the last of. The family has been stuck in poverty for a while.
@Gisk That's fine, I didn't mean to make her character actually antisocial. She has more introverted tendencies and probably a reputation for being antisocial, but really she's just been nose deep in books. I was going to try to make her have more of a social agenda with the pureblood houses rather than drawing away even more.
And besides, in this year, education was for the rich.
I've been hanging around for a while trying to decide if I can dedicate myself to this, but I decided that I may as well try this if I'm going to be getting back into roleplaying. This is the most interesting idea I've been seeing, so I'll do my best here. Let me know if anything doesn't fit exactly.
