You don't know who I am? You have successfully made yourself look a fool. My name is Persephone Thalia Dalton and you'll do well to remember that. Nicknames are difficult to create from such a peculiar name but those that I allow to shorten it have done the best they can. The most common variants in use are Perse or Seph but I've been known to respond to Persy, though it would look odd if I had to write it, or 'Sephone. To be on the safe side, stick to Persephone or else the common variants if you're feeling brave. I'm seventeen years old but that figure is due to rise to eighteen on the twenty-third of April. I can quite confidently say that I'm heterosexual. Though I might compliment a girl on her attire if I'm in a good mood and certain that I still look better, I don't hold any sexual interest towards them."  "It seems so long ago now that I was sitting on the stool in the Sorting Ceremony but then I didn't really learn anything from that experience. I'd known ever since I was five that I would be in Slytherin and the Sorting Hat had merely made that official. I'm currently in my seventh year, studying NEWTs in Ancient Runes, Arithmancy, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Potions and Transfiguration. What do I want to do when I finish my education? Don't be ridiculous; Daltons don't have to work. If a career attracts my interest then I might dip my toe in it but I'm quite comfortable with the idea of doing what I want whenever I want to do it and getting our slave to do what I don't want to do. Besides, it wouldn't be normal for me to work anyway due to the lack of a penis between my legs, even if I am more than capable of doing the same jobs. If none of this was explanation enough, I'm obviously a pureblood and a damn sight purer than most families that claim to be pureblooded. My wand is made of twelve and a half inches of acacia with a dragon heartstring core."  we are looking for your characters likes (at least four), their dislikes (at least four), their strengths (at least two), their weaknesses (at least two) and their fears (at least one) feel free to write more about their general personality as well to give us a good idea of who the character is.  "As you didn't know me, I'll assume you're also unfamiliar with my family. My father is Theseus Dalton and he's thirty-nine years old. My mother is Cassandra Dalton, born Prewett, and she's thirty-eight years old, though I doubt she'll appreciate me telling you. I also have three younger siblings; Everett, Asteria and Thanatos. Everett is technically my twin but as I was born ten minutes before he was, I never let him forget that I'm older. I'm very close with my brother and I think I could talk to him about anything. Unless it's a rather female thing, then I go to Asteria. She's sixteen years old and, like everybody else in the family, she's a Slytherin. The third of my siblings is Thanatos and he's fifteen. Though I patronise him somewhat as the baby of the family, I'm very fond of him. There's also another individual in the house who I thankfully don't have to have too much to do with as I'm at Hogwarts most of the year. Ruth is our slave. I'm uncertain of her last name but it has no importance to me. When I do her to tolerate her, it's only because she's bringing food into the dining room. On any other occasion, I refuse to have the filthy Muggle sharing my company. She's paid to work, not to get in my way. We bought her to clean the house in preparation for a ball we were hosting at the start of the year and after father discovered she wasn't returnable, mother decided we might as well keep her to save buying another later in the year, as they had planned to do. Our first slave was, and remains to be, a boy called Oliver Anderson. We got him about five years ago when his predecessor Anthony decided not to return when we sent him off to collect something from Hogsmeade. Despite having been in the house for so long, I hardly see him as a member of the family. He's a slave after all, a mere possession to display our wealth. I'm rich and I want everyone to know. I've always been rich, ever since I was a baby. I was born in late April almost eighteen years ago to Theseus and Cassandra Dalton. Ten minutes later, my brother Everett emerged from the womb and we were virtually inseparable from that moment on. Asteria followed us out the following year and Thanatos the year after that, by which time I was two and already making demands with my limited vocabulary. By four I could hold a conversation with my grandmother, although perhaps not on a topic I would now choose for a discussion, and by five I was reading Byron and Keats. It would have been an understatement to say that I was an intelligent child and my parents were certain to push this. As soon as I turned six, they started teaching me what they found interesting and had a tutor teach me what they couldn't be bothered with yet felt was important. Mother bought me my first wand on my eighth birthday and on my ninth I started learning first year level magic. That could be the same for any other student at Hogwarts, except the mudbloods of course, and I'm obviously not on the same low standard as every other student. My parents are rich purebloods with a significant influence in society. As such, it's only natural that I was raised to wear the same shoes. I was taught to be proper in all ways imaginable - speaking, walking, dressing, eating, behaving, reading and more areas than I have care or time to mention. Etiquette was to be shown both in public and in private or I'd be nothing more than a fraud. I would often go out shopping with my mother to various places across the country and indeed the world. The six of us were always popping off to exotic destinations across the globe for holidays and to interact with other pureblood families. Some cliché-inclined individuals might expect me to be sick of such a lifestyle but I'm not. My family is rich and influential so we make the most of it, regardless of how romantic it would be for me to wish for a simpler life. My life could hardly get much simpler. I snap my fingers and there's a slave at my side to do whatever I ask of them. The only thing I have to do is enjoy myself and the Dalton fortune makes that more than possible. The only thing I'm missing is a husband but I'll have one soon enough. My mother and father are both using their influences to arrange meetings with various pureblood suitors that could potentially put a ring on my finger. Some of the men they've introduced me to have been very pleasant and a few of them got just a couple of steps away from marrying me. I know this is an important decision and so I'm in no rush to make it. My Prince Charming is somewhere on my parents' list and all I have to do is go through it systematically and we'll be living together with children in a grand house before I know it. Until then, I'll continue my studies at Hogwarts. Anyone that will take my interest will be able to hold an intelligent conversation and the easiest way for me to demonstrate my own ability to do so is through an excellent batch of NEWTs.  Bonjour! I'm Vicky and I've been here from the beginning. I would say I helped make the site but in all honesty, I just made the canon list and wrote up the mutually decided plot. Persephone is my only character for now but anyone that knows me will also know I'll probably have one or two more before the month is out. I'm a massive Harry Potter freak and don't really have much of a life between that and school. I had a mini rant at a guy in my Philosophy class because he said Dumbledore died of a viral infection. Dickhead. But yes, I had an advent calendar many years ago and the Christmas window had a packet of sherbert lemons in. Woo! persephone thalia dalton, seventeen. slytherin. female. heterosexual. seventh year. |
