THE CHARACTER

Please write at least 300 words explaining your character, and how you view them. Some things to consider including would be personality, history, any appearance items, what they do for a living, where they were born, what their wand is. What you include or not is up to you. Let us see how you view the character.

Seraphim is a graduated Slytherin. In fact she has no idea why the sorting hat did what it did; its just one of those eternal mysteries. Its even more bizarre given her mother was a muggleborn Huifflepuff and her father was a muggle. Her story kind of starts there with the first blooming of love and the roots go even deeper. 

Maeve Wainwright was born and bred in the city of Belfast in Northern Ireland, part of the United Kingdom. Her mother is Tina Wainwright (nee Smyth) and her father is Derek Wainwright. She also has a younger brother, Connor and an older sister, Siobhan. He has never shown any sign of being magical and is very supportive of her sister. He’s also very supportive of Seraphim as her uncle. Siobhan went to the US and settled there long term. 

Maps don’t tell you all of the story as she grew up in a family that acknowledged Irish Republicanism but didn’t really think it was that practical an idea. She grew up in a pretty normal way until she was nine. Strange things started to happen round her as wish magic started to show. Her parents both worked in a major hospital. She was a medical secretary and he was a security guy so being baffled and a semi-religious Catholic family they were on the verge of calling a priest. Thankfully a smartly dressed ministry witch paid them a visit and explained everything before the church got involved and well all exorcist on her. Maeve and her family couldn’t quite believe it but Maeve was clearly up for this big adventure.

Years passed and when her letter came along with new challenges she embraced these wholeheartedly. She punched out plenty of Slytherin idiots, slightly more idiot boys and even had a few boyfriends in her time along with other adventures. Not being sure what she wanted to do after Hogwarts she went to London and worked in a bar in the Brentford area until she figured things out. She liked the work and one night she ran into an off duty police officer. Kyle Sellars was a normal PC and street bobby; mutual attraction was followed by dates and things kept moving on.

A year into their relationship they were due a happy shock as the pregnancy test confirmed she had a bun in the oven. They planned to marry once Seraphim was able to be their flower girl but another year and a half later tragedy struck. Kyle died in a major traffic accident and this happy threesome was broken up. Maeve’s heart was broken but there was a major support network. The Sellars’ loved her too and little Seraphim charmed them all. In fact she still has strong links with both sides of her family though they have no idea that she is a witch. Only her mothers side of the family knows about the wizarding world and there are very good at keeping the secret.

Maeve took her bouncy toddler back home to Belfast and she grew up with her mothers family. She made friends in the playgroup, nursery school then primary school and initially it was thought she wouldn’t be a witch. Magic showed really late when she was ten and her mother knew just what to do. It was easier to explain away Seraphim’s absence from a muggle secondary school if they moved to a magical area. So she chose Hogsmeade. It also made a better base to live given she was working as a staff nurse in St Mungos and she still is there.

Now imagine the shock this little witch had to face when she was guided to the Slytherin table. Some of the mindset was already in place as she was stubborn, driven and musically talented. The violin was has instrument of choice. It didn’t take long for Seraphim to pickup on what the pureblooded idiots were calling her and her mother behind her back and even as a little first year she called them out. Standing up for herself got her respect in return and even the diehards finally gave way and accepted her as a Slytherin. She could tolerate them but that didn’t mean she had to like them that much. A few fully accepted her so maybe they weren’t all that bad as they could learn and adapt.

Her adventures were many and varied. She didn’t do quidditch still being into Rugby Union at home. That was down to her Uncle Connor who took her to Ulster matches when she was home. Her love of music continued alongside still having to crack idiot heads in her second year. By her third year she had a boyfriend. She was taking the music class too along with the compulsory ones. She turned down muggle studies as she didn’t need it. She took on Divination and care of magical creatures as her extras. On the whole she was studious enough to get good grades in the OWL’s and NEWT’s.

The rest of her schooling kept going in this vein and she now knew what she wanted to do. Be a professional musician or as close to that as she could get. There were mental wounds from school that she was dealing with as she found herself hating the pureblood idiots who looked down on her. More idiots from Gryffindor just complicated her life more as they disliked her just for being a snake. These days the problem isn’t as bad as she has the experience to deal with people as she finds them. Idiots get left by the wayside instead of being punched or hexed. After she graduated life changed dramatically.

A musical agency who supplied string quartets (you know the ones found at wizards or fancy business events) led to her being able to play for a living. The guy who ran the agency caught her during a moment of weakness and her lack of life experience nearly cost her everything. He seduced her and the controlling nature of it wasn’t apparent to her at that time. The scales fell from her eyes once he tried to get others involved in their sex life. Thankfully his pissed off wife found out before things got any further and these two angry witches made sure he couldn’t hurt her anymore. The wound had been made and she’d need time to recover being slightly untrusting after this. She thinks worse things happened to the guy once his wife got him home.

She did end up with another musical agency and this experience is thankfully a much happier one. She still needs a part time job to fill some of the gaps in her playing schedule. Which leads to her looking for a tavern job.

Traits

Seraphim has always said what is on her mind. She doesn’t suffer fools lightly and can be quick to anger; she is better at controlling this but it still needs work. The drive which pushed her music on is still there and lost time gnaws at her more than anything. She couldn’t play for nearly a year once her first agency fell through so you can add bitterness towards entitled wizards to her flaws.

She is also considering the other side of the coin. She likes sex and is up for it; perhaps girls are on the menu as well. She found trusting them much easier. She has kissed a girl and liked it but is yet to fully explore this side of her life.

She is also fun loving and since she never gave up the muggle part of her life she loves going to clubs and the like. She doesn’t drink that much alcohol preferring coffee. She is also allergic to cows milk and has to watch her diet. Thankfully she can get goats milk without any problem.

She also has a severe dislike of wild rats, mice and cockroaches. Pests are exterminated ruthlessly but she still loves other animals. She keeps a black cat named Sorcha (the second Sorcha in fact as her first cat died after she graduated).

Even with all the mental and physiological wounds and baggage she has had to deal with and still does she does have a big heart and cares for people. She’ll stick by you if you treat her right. If not you’ll be left out of her life forever. She’s a generous and loving soul. Also not as trusting as she used to be though she is trying to get better at this.

Likes

Coffee of all types, sex, pulpy paperback books, practising her violin, cooking, people who amuse her, baked goods, classic music in general, also more modern muggle music (she collects LP’s).

Dislikes

Idiots in general (as described above), vermin (rats, mice, cockroaches), mental blocks, cows milk, noodles, people who feel entitled just because of their family name, feeling stupid and making musical mistakes as she aims for perfection.
