Nicknames: Gold, Kitty
Birthdate: July 18, 1868
Current Age: 20 Years
Occupation: Third Year Auror-In-Training
Reputation: 7 — Dubbed as having fallen from grace, Honor is plagued with speculation of her disowning and her desire to become an Auror
Residence: Bartonburg, Hogsmeade — Formerly Wellington
Hogwarts House: Gryffindor
Wand: 11" English Oak, Dragon Heartstring
Blood Status: Pure-Blood
Social Class: Middle — Formerly Upper
Family:
Father: Clifford Archibald Goldwinter (45) — AristocratAppearance:
Mother: Evelyn Katherine Goldwinter (38) — Socialite (American)
Sibling: Edwin Clifford Goldwinter (24) — Ministry Official
History:The Goldwinters, reminiscent of their name, are known for having vibrant golden hair. The gene was passed down from her father, who too has the blonde shade of the Goldwinters, whereas her mother and older brother have a darker auburn hue. Her complexion is that of a peachy, albeit healthy skin tone that many would often refer to as glowing — although in actuality it stems from her mother and the flawless skin of the American Carlson lineage.
With the family's seamstress and tailor having been employed by the Goldwinters for several generations, Honor was provided an arrangement of garments that were nothing short of extravagant. She would be given an assortment of dresses that would be rife with ruffles and tightening corsets, and a multitude of hair pieces that would feel like the claw of a raven scratching at her scalp. However having been disowned, Honor still receives all of clothes from the same familial businesses, though opts (in light of her Auror training) for lengthy skirts that flow to her ankles and begin at her waist, a comfortable and practical corset that sits below her chest and flowing white shirts that grace her entire neck and hold tasteful frills along the front.
Typically the Goldwinters have always held their right hand as the most dominant for writing, spell casting and the like. However in light of breaking the mould, with her status as a Metamorphmagus, Honor has always favoured her left hand.
Personality:YEAR OF 1868 — Evelyn gives birth to her second child at the height of summer, breathing more life into the amusing notion that all Goldwinters are born between the months of June and August. For the first two days of the infants life, she is named Eleanora after her maternal grandmother — however the child's father, Clifford renames her Honor after pressure from his American father-in-law.
YEAR OF 1867 — Honor displays her first competency for magic, and also her Metamorphmagi status after turning what little hair she had from blonde to red. For several weeks afterward, Clifford and Evelyn attempted to discern Honor's true eye colour as it would change to that of anyone who looked down upon her newborn face.
YEAR OF 1879 — (A) Honor enrols into and begins her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardy, despite her mother's desire for her to attend Ilvermorny. She strikes up a friendship with a fellow first year, April and a second year student, Reece. Honor is sorted into Gryffindor, in spite of the Sorting Hat's suggestion that she could excel if placed into Ravenclaw.
YEAR OF 1879 — (B) After being tormented for having become friends with an older boy, Honor is reprimanded and is forced to write 'I will not indulge in sins of vanity' more than a thousand (1000) times. She never speaks to Reece again, though is comforted by her friend April who suggests that they spend their time merely focusing on school work. Honor is swiftly thought to be one of Gryffindor's smartest first years, despite various claims that a female student cannot best a male student. Honor later earns ten (10) house points for Gryffindor after perfectly annotating and explaining the first nine (9) ancient runes.
YEAR OF 1880 — After returning to Hogwarts for a second year, Honor attends the first Defence Against the Dark Arts class of the term. She strikes up a discreet rivalry with a Slytherin student that has a taste for humiliating bright female students, though takes the bait and ends up losing Gryffindor fifteen (15) house points.
YEAR OF 1881 — After etiquette lessons are introduced into the Hogwarts curriculum for female students, Honor struggles with her love of studying the magical arts. She seeks comforting from her favourite member of staff, who shares her sentiment that female students are treated unfairly.
YEAR OF 1883 — During a weekend trip to Hogsmeade, Honor and her friends have several cups of the Amortentia laced tea. Honor immediately sets her sights on Reece and remains obsessively interested in him until the effects wear off several days later. Her parents are informed and she remains under mandatory house arrest at home between the end of her fifth year and the beginning of her sixth.
YEAR OF 1886 — After having graduated from Hogwarts, Honor pleads with her parents to allow her to explore a career as an Auror. For no more than three days she believes that they will truly allow her to do so, but is instead given an ultimatum: she can leave the family home and forego the support of her parents in her pursuit of becoming an Auror, or she can agree to the arranged, pureblood marriage they have planned.
YEAR OF 1886 — Honor is taken in by the Marque family, their daughter being April, whom Honor met and befriended at Hogwarts. Having eagerly accepted lodging in exchange for light duties around the house and a promise to assist in the search to find April a husband, Honor welcomes her new family. Unknown to Honor, her father proved to be the catalyst for the arrangement, concealing her monthly stipend as a gesture of kindness from the Marque patriarch, while in fact bank rolling her lifestyle.
YEAR OF 1886 — Honor submits to the required physical and psychological tests in order to gain a position within the Auror training program, and afterwards is permitted to begin her essay, submit her eligible N.E.W.T scores and pass along the letter of recommendation written by her Defence Against the Dark Arts professor.
YEAR OF 1888 — Honor begins her third year of the Auror-in-training program, despite the backlash she receives from some of the male applications. Though Honor takes it in her stride and continues to pursue the career she believes she was made for.
Perfectionist, Optimistic, Affable, Independent, Trustworthy, Sarcastic, Modern, StubbornOther:
Honor was born a Metamorphmagus which grants her the ability to alter her physical appearance at will, negating the requirement for Polyjuice Potion. Aside from individual elements, such as hair colour or eye colour, Honor is capable of altering her features to resemble that of animals such as beaks or webbed feet.Sample Roleplay Post:
Winter had come to Hogsmeade, once again bringing with it the expulsion of all autumnal colours and laying a fine frost atop every exposed surface. Once upon a time her mother would have assessed the rear of her corset, ensuring it was more tight than comfortable, and tutted at the hem of her dress beating the snow around her feet. As dusk approached and Honor walked along the dimly lit pathway, she clutched her small purse to her chest and wrinkled her nose as her evaporating breath billowed around her face. With a cautious glance over her shoulder, Honor retrieved her wand and raised it before her.
"Lumos!" The spell left her lips in a gentle hiss, narrowing her eyes as a burning light was expelled from the tip of her wand. Once she was certain that she was alone, Honor continued walking, prepared to strike at anything that thought it beneficial to emerge from the shadows with ill intent.

- Archer Belby, Nephew [1877]
Major Belby, Brother [1864]
Begonia Belby, Sister [1867]
Appearance:
While not beautiful by society’s standard due to her russet hair, the softness of her other features makes up for it. She has grey eyes and which was usually pinned up neatly. While overall willowy, she had gained a figure after giving birth to her two kids. She is also shorter compared to her siblings but taller than the standards of the era with the height of 5 feet and 4 inches.
History:
1860| After two boys, a girl was born into the Belby Family.
1864| Major was born.
1867| Begonia was born and Iris is delighted to have another girl around.
1866| As her for her first magical act, Iris burns the Christmas goose as she argued with her younger brother. Her family was happy that Iris proved to be a witch although disappointed as well that the turkey was on the toasty side.
1872| It was her turn to go to Hogwarts. She was sorted in Ravenclaw. At first she doubts the sorting as she never saw herself as smart but finds out that she had a talent for Herbology and potions once class started. In the same house she meets her closest friends, Porphyria Dempsey and Nathalie Jennings.
1873| Ephraim gets married.
1878| At the coming out ball she had the pleasure to dance with Barnabas Skeeter which undoubtedly ruined the night for her.
After graduation, she manages to persuade her parents to let her join Cyrus at St. Mungo’s - with the help of her good grades and her brother. After a year of internship at Potion & Plant Poisoning department she was promoted as a full time healer.
1881|Iris meets Byron Cattermole at a luncheon held by a close friend. Their friendship turned into romance very quickly and after 9 weeks of courtship, he proposes. The couple got married in early 1882.
1883| Cyrus was attacked by a werewolf and was shunned by the public after the Daily Prophet publishes an article about the attack. As much as she wanted to help her brother, she remained silent. It was painful for her to watch Cyrus’ life crumble just when he was at the peak. Helping him would just tarnish the family even more and she was too afraid of being branded of protecting a monster.
Months after the incident, Ephraim, now Cyrus Westerman, reached out to her via owl. She was happy to hear that he had found a place to settle in but would never try to speak to him when not necessary. Out of loyalty and kindness, she does send him supplies borrowed from the hospital stock room and hasty notes.
1884| The couple’s first child, James, was born
1886| Celine was born.
1888| Her marriage is still stable although there is tension between the couple if one looks carefully.Her husband wants her to quit her job but of course Iris would have none of it and this was the topic of most of their arguments.

1859 His first and only sister is born, Catherine, though unable to struggle through the name, he takes to calling her "Kitty". Secretly this is because she reminds him of a cat, always demanding attention and is a bit upset when she is born.
1861 Baxter goes off to Hogwarts this year and is sorted into Hufflepuff. Now that he is left alone with Kitty he starts to not mind her presence quite as much and actually becomes quite fond of her. He gains another brother as the last Keene child is born, Perry. At the end of the year his father passes away and even though the man was distant, the five year old is clearly upset by the change though over the years he proves to remeber little about the man. During the funeral, Asa does not want to wear black and pitches a fit, and turns his suit a bright yellow.

In-Character
Full Name: Tala Brigit Moreno Nicknames: Tal, Tee Birthdate: December 2nd, 1863 Current Age: 24 Occupation: Herbologist Reputation: weeeeeelll 6 Tal accidentally eloped during the Amortentia letters scandal... Though she was already engaged to someone else, whoops.Residence: Elsewhere Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw Wand: 8 ½” spruce, unicorn hair, pliant Blood Status: muggleborn Social Class: working Family: Gervaise Ollivander | [1853] | fiance, wandmaker & owner of Ollivander's London Appearance: Petite like her mother, Tala has no meat on her bones, nor does she have any curves to speak of. Her small frame is willowy and tops out at 5’0”. Most notably, Tala’s skin is a golden brown, harking to her father’s Filipino heritage. The only real feature of her mother’s that she inherited was a generous sprinkling of freckles across her nose and cheeks,which stand out more often than not, as she spends an immense amount of time outside. Other than that, her skin is flawless, which is something she takes mild pride in. Dark brows and hair frame a sweet, round face. She possesses a button nose and golden hazel eyes. They’re not quite brown, but not quite hazel, falling somewhere in between and are often the first thing noticed when she is first met. History: | Alejandro Moreno is born to middle class muggle parents in Manila, Philippines. As was common during the Spanish occupation of the region, middle class boys were often shipped to Europe for schooling. So charmed by the area, Alejandro decided to stay instead of returning home. It turns out to be the right decision as he meets a fiery, working class Irish lass by the name of Eilis Magee and the pair wed within a year of meeting, moving back to her home in Killarney to start a family. [December 2nd, 1863] | Born the first and only babe to Eilis and Alejandro, Tala is dubbed as such for the bright stars in the wintry sky on the night of her birth. Unfortunately the labor is hard and long for Eilis, though she makes it through. [February 1865] | Eilis labors again, though this time is not quite as fortunate as she was with Tala. Both Eilis and the babe, another girl to be named Mahalia, are lost during the process. A grief-stricken Alejandro is taken in by his in-laws for Tala’s sake. He in turn, takes to the bottle to numb the pain and is never quite the same. [1868] | Despite the rough start to her young life, Tala proves to be a vivacious and adventurous babe. On her grandparents’ large property she has the run of the place. Her family is never short on affection or attention for her, especially from her doting grandmother. [1870] | Alejandro is accidentally killed when a dispute over some money goes awry. He was drunk after his shift in the lumberyard and gets in with the wrong crowd. [1873] | Tal goes through a bit of a rebellious phase. Around the anniversary of her father’s death, Tala is understandably upset and after a small spat with her grandmother, she displays her first noticeable sign of magic; she accidentally mutes her grandmother because she just doesn’t want to hear what Brigit has to say. Brigit’s sister is called in to help and surprise! She’s a witch. Auntie Cara takes Tala on a long walk and explains a lot about the strange, if small things, that always happen when Tala is upset or scared. It is during this discussion that she first learns about Hogwarts and Tal is hooked.. Unfortunately due to her late birthday, she has a few years to wait. [School Year 1875-76] | Both terrified and eager to head off to magic school, Tal is quietly sorted into Ravenclaw without much ado. From what she’s been told, it fits, but it remains to be seen. She was secretly hoping for Gryffindor because that’s where Auntie Cara was, apparently. Thanks to her grandmother’s concentrated efforts to see her educated, at least she is not too far behind in reading and writing. She pushes herself to do well in hopes that this will be the start of something new and positive in her life- and to keep her scholarship going. [School Year 1876-77] | Second year is a little better, though Tal pushes herself to keep up academically, reading just about anything she can get her hands on. Astronomy and Herbology prove to be keen interests of hers and she soaks up information left and right. Socially she’s a bit of an outcast, a quirky working class girl, but she makes a couple close friends, which is all she needs. [School Year 1877-78] | Tal adds Ancient Runes and Arithmancy to her courseload. Both seem like fascinating additions to her timetable, though she struggles a little more with Arithmancy than she would like. She thought about adding Care of Magical Creatures, but didn’t. She still kind of regrets that. [School Year 1878-79] | This year proves to be somewhat lackluster, no new classes, no tests to worry about, but Tala does her best to keep up with her studies. It’s this year that she gets her hands on a book about wand woods and she is so thoroughly fascinated she fancies herself becoming a wandmaker in the future. [School Year 1879-80] | After finishing her OWLs with a decent string of scores, Tal decides to call it quits at Hogwarts, which means she’s probably not going to make it into wandmaking. She’s either headed into herbology or the service industry and NEWTs aren’t strictly necessary. Besides, her grandparents can only afford so much at this point. In the late summer after having little luck finding something, Tala manages to secure herself an apprenticeship with a herbologist in Ireland near their home in Killarney. It works out well for her, she’s able to stay home and help out and bring in some money. ACADEMIC RECORD
[1882] | Auntie Cara comes to live with them after her only son, with whom she lived, is tragically lost in a fishing accident. Tal has always loved Cara like her own grandmother, so she more than happily packs up her tiny bedroom and takes over the even smaller study as her room so Auntie Cara can have a room to herself. [1884] | Her grandfather catches pneumonia and passes away. Devastated, the ladies in the family pull together to make it work. Tal picks up work at the local apothecary to help out with money, her knowledge of both magical and muggle plants gives her an edge in that respect. [1886] | Tal takes a big chance for more permanent and better paying position at a magical tree farm in Keswick, England near the Scottish border. Cara’s youngest daughter has come to live with the aging (though still surprisingly spry!) ladies which gives Tal the chance to take her big break. Trees, especially those used in wandmaking, fascinate her and this in, in reality, her dream job. She continues to send money home to help her relatives, as her room and board is covered at her new position. [1887] | Quote:Gervaise makes the acquaintance of Miss —, a herbologist working at the tree farm from which some of his materials are harvested. He finds her charming, if a bit peculiar, and by year's end, the pair are courting.Ayy vague feelings. She likes him enough to go with it, though suspects he may be more invested than she is. It's fine, they get to nerd out about wand woods together, what more could a girl want? [September 1888] | An otherwise uneventful year culminates in Tala getting caught up in the Amortentia love letter scandal- and she accidentally elopes, with not!Gervaise! #GASP #DRAMA Tal feels immensely guilty, considering the man she married is barely a friend AND she’s engaged! Stay tuned for drams, friends. Personality: Quirky; outgoing; social; adventurous; curious; a little scatterbrained; flighty; vivacious; witty; naive; impressionable; closet romantic; somewhat independent; mild feminist.

James MacFusty
Jamie was coming back today after his week with the toddlings, and Bella was finishing up the final touches on his home. She'd swept and polished the floors, shaken the rugs, rearranged his supplies, sorted through books and paper and miscellaneous object that were scattered about—basically, she'd changed everything. (And on top of that, she'd made him something to eat, but she'd let him find that out for himself once she'd left.)
Bella was outside taking sheets off the clothing line when the figure of Jamie came into sight. She stopped what she was doing and threw the remaining sheets into the clean laundry basket.
"I thought you'd never come back!" she called, waving a hand in the air in greeting.

Maeve Connolly
Merlin, Maeve!!!!!! I've heard your good news, you superb little hypocrite! Didn't think you had it in you. And I'll admit I'd never have bet on Skeeter (hullo, old boy, if you're there) but congratulations all the same!* Maeve, married! I always knew I was a trailblazer, a real role model to you, ha! But it's alright: no need to thank me. Some of us can take a surprise properly, see - I won't even talk about annulments. |
*At this point, confetti starts spewing.

October 3, 1888
Mother,
I received a case with potions tools inside, but there wasn't a note to go along with it. Did you send it to me? If so, thank you very much, I think it will prove to be very useful. If not, do you know who might have sent it, so I can properly thank them?
Your Son,
Archer
P.S. I think I may have misplaced some of my socks. Is there a way to have more sent from home?

Daily Prophet

A spokesperson from the hospital would not confirm the details of the assault, only that Mr. Tuttle and Mr. Jameshill were both in isolation from the public until the nature of the curse could be determined. Sources in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement confirm that aurors have been engaged, but the investigation is still in its early stages.
This paper appreciates any information the public might have on the subject.
