dementor:
- At the age of nine, she and her older brother were out in the rain, just flying around. It was a light rain, so their mother allowed them to. So, after a little while, they were soaked, but still having a great time. Not coming in anytime soon, the skies opened up, and the rain started to pour. Sephy started to go in, but then noticed she couldn’t find her brother anywhere. She called out his name, but there was no response. Terror washed over poor Sephy as she flew everywhere. Finally, she saw a flash of bright yellow from the ground. It was her brother’s bright yellow shirt. Flying down, she managed to get the poor boy onto her broom, and rushed him to the house. He was revived, but Persephone still to this day hasn’t forgiven herself and will not get back on a broom.
personality:
Practical, cool-headed and thoroughly meticulous -- that's what she is in a nutshell. She is not unnecessarily swayed by emotions and even if sentiments were running high, Sephy can keep a cool head to weigh her approach. Often quiet and reserved, she tries to stick to her world, keeping it as tidy and perfect as she can. Nevertheless, she is bustling with energy and always has plenty to do. Persephone is not afraid of taking on challenges and prove her mettle with hard work and a quiet determination. Her quest for perfection and her inability to ignore even the smallest of faults generally proves good for the middle Longbottom.
More emotional than the average girl, she appreciates the nurturing aspects of home and hearth. She is dependable and does not view her duty as a chore, but really a pleasure. A true nurturer, she is a comfort-giver to all around. Persephone goes through life with a shell around her that is not easily cracked. If fact, she stays in that shell until she's sure it is safe to step outside. However, for most part, she has a cheerful disposition. She takes her studies seriously and can retain information well, thanks to her good memory, which also makes her good at taking exams. She sails through her exams with flying colors.
She believes in fair play and is rarely manipulate. Violent confrontations are not her cup of tea and indeed render her quite ineffective in her work. Honest and forthright, she does not like hypocrites and cannot hide her displeasure at sycophants. Although Sephy is not short-tempered and in fact is slow to get angry, when she does have arguments she tries to put up a stiff resistance to anyone opposing her. She tends to make bitter enemies, and like an elephant she remembers events that happened a long time ago. To most, she is the “looney” girl of Hufflepuff, most not taking her seriously. Persephone just goes along with it, not wanting to make a fuss.
Sephy’s primary mode of living is focused internally, where she takes things in via her five senses in a literal, concrete fashion. Her secondary mode is external, where she deals with things rationally and logically. Sephy is a quiet and reserved individual who is interested in security and peaceful living. She has a strongly-felt internal sense of duty, which lends her a serious air and the motivation to follow through on tasks. Organized and methodical in her approach, she can generally succeed at any task which she undertakes.
Sephy is very loyal, faithful, and dependable. She places great importance on honesty and integrity. While she generally takes things very seriously, she also usually has an offbeat sense of humor and can be a lot of fun - especially when with her closest friends. Sephy tends to believe in laws and traditions, and expects the same from others. She's not comfortable with breaking laws or going against the rules. If she is able to see a good reason for stepping outside of the established mode of doing things, Sephy will support that effort. However, Sephy more often tends to believe that things should be done according to procedures and plans..
From her mother she got her temper. It just comes out at certain points, mainly when people attack her or loved ones. Sephy doesn’t know where it comes from, so she can’t stop it. It hurts people. She jumps to conclusions all the time, and many people are just annoyed with her, mainly her brother. Sephy’s father says “you remind me so much of your mother” very often, and maybe that’s why Em never tries to stop it. Jacob calls this silly all the time, but Sephy doesn’t listen.
In general, Sephy has a tremendous amount of potential. A capable, logical, reasonable, and effective individual with a deeply driven desire to promote security and peaceful living, Sephy has what it takes to be highly effective at achieving her chosen goal - which she is already well on her way to doing.
[ take a look back in time
parents: neville longbottom & luna
siblings: jacob & ___.
history:
Persephone Luna Longbottom was born in Liverpool, London, to Neville and Luna Longbottom, on a snowy night in March. From birth Persephone was a bouncy child, always eager to learn about any and everything she saw. She and her older brother, Jacob, got along smashingly from the beginning. For a while, it was just the four of them, and Persephone enjoyed that.
Then her sister was born.
And things were different.
No longer was Persephone the focus of her parents attentions. Suddenly there was a new child to take care off, to teach, to love. And Persephone felt like she was just pushed to the side like yesterdays news. She wanted her new little sister to go back to wherever he came from, and leave her family alone. So a feeling of annoyance formed at an early age between the two.
It didn’t help when Jacob turned eleven. Again, one of the children was in the spotlight, and it wasn’t Sephy. She couldn’t help but feel a bit left out. No one told her that being the middle child would be as hard as it was. But she didn’t utter a word.
When Persephone got her letter to Hogwarts, she was beyond relieved. When she stepped into the halls of the well talked of school, she felt at home. There she was herself. There she had no little brother. There she was just a student, and she loved it. Quickly she was sorted into Hufflepuff, and became a true one at that.
Daily, the little blonde haired child could be seen at one table in the library, her nose stuck in the newest book she happened to pick up, her ponytail very messy. Yes, this Longbottom was stamped as a bookworm, and a very bookwormy one at that. Books seemed to take her out of her life, and into a new one. They made her think, made her forget. And forgetting was something Persephone loved to do. It was no surprise when she was made a prefect in her fifth year.
It’s now her sixth year, and Persephone is finally becoming a woman. She’s sixteen, and next year will be graduating Hogwarts. It still scares Persephone when she thinks about the life afterwards. Could it be just as dramaful and confusing as Hogwarts? Will anyone still remember her? And will she finally be able to get over her stupid shyness?

roleplay sample:
| QUOTE |
| It was early morning. Well, it was for Yvaine Camile Maxwell. 7 a.m. was too early for her. That’s why she was still passed out on her bed. Last night she had stayed up late It had been one full day since the blowout with her father, and one of the other counselors came in with a nice bottle of scotch to get her mind off of things, and she did some to take her mind off things. She didn’t do it often, and she probably shouldn’t have done it then. So there she was, sprawled out on her bed, her hair sticking out in many different directions. The poor girl rolled over, and then heard the loud “BEEP” signaling she had just gotten a phone call. Groaning into the sheets, she picked her head up, and glared at her cell phone. She had half a mind to ignore it, but grabbed it anyway. Flipping it open, she couldn’t help but smile at who sent it. Her sister, just wanting to offer her support. After trying to go back to sleep again, and losing the battle, Yvaine decided to just go somewhere to clear her head. The greenhouse was the perfect place for that. Probably not the best thing to do. Glancing at herself in the mirror, she groaned. She looked like the living dead. A blind person could see she was seriously hung over. Damn father and fighting. Sliding out of bed, she grabbed her jeans and faded Rolling Stones t-shirt, and headed out, trying hard to slip on her right flip-flop while walking. Not the easiest thing to do. Blinded by the sunlight, she slid on a pair of dark sunglasses that where way huge on her face, and made her way down the sidewalk. Her head was still a bit foggy, but hopefully the clean air would clear her head up. She didn’t trust herself to drive right then. She couldn’t think straight, let alone remember how to drive. But then she remembered she couldn’t drive anyway. Why the hell did she let herself be so stupid at camp. Of all places in the world, camp. If she wasn’t fired, she’d be shocked. Shoving her hands into her pockets, Yvaine thought about her father. She couldn’t really get him out of her head. It was impossible. It seemed like he was like an annoying song. One you couldn’t get enough of, one that you couldn’t help but love, the one that won’t ever leave your mind. Kicking at a random rock, she sighed loudly. Stupid father and stupid wants to be ‘something’ in life. Glancing up, she noted she finally arrived. Just after dawn. She couldn’t help but smile. Yvaine loved watching the sun rise. If only the text had come sooner, she maybe could’ve made the sunrise. Sighing, she entered, and knew exactly where she wanted to go. The river. Stopping, she looked at the paths. Normally she would’ve known which to take in a second, but today she had to think. Finally, it dawned on her, and she began to jog to that familiar place. Smiling broadly as the sound of the water came nearer, Yvaine stopped suddenly. There was someone else there. There never was someone else there! Walking very slowly, she finally saw who it was, and her already broad smile got even wider. It was James, that slightly mysterious but not mysterious oak counselor. Coming up behind him, she slipped off her shoes, and joined him, feet also in the water. Watching the waves go by, she glanced over her shoulder at him. ”I didn’t think anyone else knew about this place. A nice getaway, right?” she commented, her voice a still bit thick. Clearing her throat, she let her eyes drift back over to the tides. Maybe, with her not being so ... out there, he wouldn’t just close off right away. At least, she hoped he wouldn’t. Yvaine wanted someone to talk to, and he was the perfect person for that. |
