Seraphima Evelynne Rose

Ravenclaw · Magical Theory · 5’7” · 24

Biography: Seraphima Evelynne Rose is the second born child of Atticus and Ramona Rose. She follows her brother Alric Darius Rose in birth order. The Roses are a family of pure-blood witches and wizards. Respectfully, they have been ordered in the House of Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff.

The Rose family is proud of their pure-blood ancestral background, in belief that any witch or wizard should be proud of their family lineage. However, they are not prude and snobby about it, unlike some pure-blood families. In fact, they are also not loyal to one House or the other like some pure-blood families, and they are very welcome about it.

Atticus Rose is the a Magical Theorist, well-known for his many publishings, articles and books on the subject. His writings have always been pure, simplistic, and easy to understand for the commoner. Ramona Rose used to write for Witches Vogue. However, after the death of her oldest child, Alric, her sense of fashion seemed, well, to say it politely, tend to be a bit off.

Ramona’s fashion, of course, was not the only thing a bit off about the Rose family. Their remaining child Seraphima (often times referred to as Little Swan) also seemed to have her own special qualities. The sympathetic chalked it up to her witnessing her own brother’s death. The rest simply assumed the girl a very odd duck, indeed.

She hardly had any friends as she much preferred books over actual conversation. She seemed dull and outright unagreeable especially in looks. (Someone had to support her mother’s outlandish fashion.) Although, she was on the Quidditch team as the Keeper, which she even surpassed her older brother in ability and her school marks were straight Os, she lacked a key ingredient with public accumulation. In fact, she tended to care more for the less intelligent (so to speak) such as other creatures, herbs included.

Although a loner, Seraphima never did seem downright lonely. That’s not to say she was completely happy all the time, but it seemed she had some secret friend only she knew about. It’s most likely because of this other witches and wizards poked fun at her. Like when she attended the Yule Ball without a date but kept a pleasant smile for the entirety of the event. Rumors flew around like magic spells for a good quarter of the semester, as if no one had anything more useful to gossip about!

Charmingly for Seraphima, she found herself following in her father’s footsteps, and all those years spent alone in her studies, coming up with her own practical theories, has helped the witch make quite a name for herself. Since graduating Hogwarts, she has published numerous articles and written a book or two about Magical Theory. She is currently in the process of writing her third. And her mother has since landed a new job as an editor for Knitter’s Own, guiding witches and wizards in casting spells for more eccentric, alternative styles that many have declared “witty, smart, and sharp.”

Favorite Hogwarts Memory: At the Yule Ball, Seraphima was downright depressed about having no one ask her to the ball. In fact, her mother had designed and mailed her dress to her! She felt quite lovely in it, but not until her secret crush Dorrien René Logion gave her a quaint smile and polite compliment did the depression lift. He may never have shown her any affection thereafter, but she has always cherished his reaction and is certain his future wife will be aware of her mother’s spells.

I like the idea of everyone (including the GM) being able to make NPCs. It adds more creativity and fluidity to the game. I also like the idea that some GM posts will push student activity, etc. I feel like — these ideas and after reading everyone’s character sheets, this will be a very fun game.

Book Quotes

My mother uses the childhood name as a sort of verbal spear to ambush my adult self with a serious question about the preparations I’ve made for my own demise and for that of my son, Akari. So the meaning of her section of the poem is, essentially, that the most important thing I need to do in order to prepare for my own death is to get Akari ready for his trip to the forest, which may well precede mine.

”Been getting a good whiff this whole time?

Rowan didn’t answer to any of Vasco’s teases. There was no use. His head was what his father would have described as: too broad. Instead, he kept his same stern face, cursing at the orc and then himself for being stuck in this mess. There were worst things, but dealing with Vasco was almost as unsightly as dealing with some of the more favorable Dark Elves.

His fist still clenched, concerned with pinching the wall instead of Vasco’s face.

As he proceeded forward, he felt Vasco swift by him. Before Rowan could grab the man, he was already barging into the lodge. He was boisterous enough to be heard outside, before Rowan could catch up to him. His announcement was (not surprise) nothing savory for the likes of a good Avlian.

The Elf’s insides were gnawing, like a vicious dark thing. It was chewing at the very core of his being. It glistened in his silver eyes, like a falling star. He wanted Vasco dead at that exact moment, and yet, he realized — all in that same instant — so did Vasco.

And, the gnawing ceased immediately.

The darkness fell from him or perhaps, it evaporated into thin air. Rowan felt the release immediately and let out a sigh. His eyes closed, and his brows knit together. Just another mess to clean up, and for not just his sister’s sake, nor his own, but for Avalia’s sake, Vasco was not likely going to die without a good fight complete with some kicking and screaming. Even if he did bring it upon himself.

Vasco was going to need better weapons.

“Excuse my companion’s betise,” Rowan interrupted. He tried to think of his dear sister. How she saw the human through such compassionate lenses. And then, the dark feeling returned. It was hungry and impatient. How long was he going to be cleaning up the young fool’s messes? “A better translation would be: We would appreciate a place to stay for several days and nights.”

Silver eyes pierced through Vasco. “We are taking a decent resting before departing for the sea.” He let out a sigh. Maybe they should have gotten Vasco new clothes before heading for a lodge. Although, thankfully, lodges like these were used to various shapes and forms of travelers drifting in-and-out. Still, he would rather be more cautious.

While the clerk catered to them, the dark feeling began waning once more. However, there was no telling what Vasco’s next move was going to be, when he would spring his next attack for attention. And, the feeling loomed over Rowan like a dark cloud, as he waited in anticipation. His mind ready to intercede any discourse.
