@'Helga Scamander'
21 | Hufflepuff, Class of '87 | MCPB | Rep 10
Debutante

A social climber, a lover of parties, and sometimes a little too ambitious for her own good. Helga is the youngest in her family, but with none of her sisters having married up Helga has turned to her friendships to give her an "in" to the lifestyle she so desperately wants to marry into.

What They're Looking For
  • UCPB. It is her heart's greatest desire.
  • She's not picky with age as long as they can support her lifestyle, but she's probably not into men 50+. Probably.
  • Someone with a flashy job that she can use as a topic of conversation.

What I'm Looking For
  • What Helga wants, but with the added addition of her actual marriage not being a happy one. Maybe they're having an affair. Maybe their family doesn't like her. Maybe they have fertility issues and it makes him give her the cold shoulder. Or maybe she simply goes overboard and earns an eyeroll from everyone.
  • ALTERNATIVELY, a love match that doesn't fit her expectations so she can live like Meg from Little Women—in love but unhappily poor (for her tastes >.>).
  • MCPB is also an option that she would settle for. She's not actually a blood purist but all of her besties are from purist-type families and she likes to fantasize about marrying her children off to their children.

Also Open To
  • An OOC-arranged match if it would fit what she or I am looking for. Helga must marry this season or else I might lose my marbles.

Frida Lestrange
18 | Hufflepuff, Class of '91 | UCPB | Rep 10
To-Be Debutante

A typical Hufflepuff—loyal, patient, good-natured, hardworking. This would not be at all notable if not for the fact that she is the lone Hufflepuff-type in a family of narcissists and sociopaths. She would like to continue her streak of not being the total disappointment they thought she was by managing to get married.

What They're Looking For
  • UCPB.
  • 25+, but maybe even less than that if they can support her?
  • The antithesis of Kristoffer.

What I'm Looking For
  • UCPB, with the potential for MCPB because she'd probably be willing to marry down if it were a love match.
  • Any age. Younger, older, whatever.
  • I still haven't managed to conceptualize a debutante Frida so idk what I want for her.

Also Open To
  • Marrying someone she's related to.
  • Marrying someone her family tells her to.

Christopher Basiltree
37 | Gryffindor, Class of '71 | WCMB | Rep 9
Master of Ceremonies

If manners were a person, they'd be Baz. An overall very practical kind of guy, he lives a pretty balanced life, mostly because if he didn't he'd end up back in the Slums and that isn't ideal. Dad friend to the extreme with a nice helping of Victorian Shame on the side.

What They're Looking For
  • WCAB
  • 23+
  • Ideally not afraid of getting her hands dirty or working, plus some shared hobbies would be nice.

What I'm Looking For
  • ACAB
  • 19+
  • Something really sweet or unexpected, like someone who just makes him go 'ahhh how lovely'
  • Love triangle/other relationship related to work ("Oops, you were at one of the debs at Hogsmeade Memorial Ballroom and I've accidentally fallen in love because you're really nice, but you also have another potential husband and he's rich.")

Also Open To
  • Marrying to "protect honour"
  • Marrying because of Baz's mum-based communication issues.
  • Emotional affairs with men

Julian Fisk
37 | Ravenclaw, Class of '71 | MCHB | Rep 8
Adventure Novelist

Defined by his adventurous spirit and intellectual mind, Julian was once a curse-breaker before an accident caused him to retire early (and lose a leg!). Having been so dedicated to his career earlier in life, Julian never spent time romancing woman—and now he's almost too nervous to try.

What They're Looking For
  • MCAB, preferably.
  • 18-30, but he's more likely to go for someone in their early to mid-twenties rather than a fresh debutante.
  • Someone who doesn't mind that he's, you know, missing one of his legs.

What I'm Looking For
  • MCAB, although he might marry a WCAB woman.
  • I like the idea of an unlikely match or someone he can feel nervous about pursuing (which might be anyone at this point, idk).
  • Would there be any fun if she didn't cause a stir in the Fisk family?

Nigel Vane
35 | Slytherin, Class of '74 | MCHB | Rep 9
Ancient Studies Professor

Once set on pursuing a life of adventure, the realities of life made it impossible to pursue long-term. Instead he took a single experience and made a career out of it, publishing books that eventually led him down a career of spell development, and eventually to Hogwarts. He suits his role pretty well, having a lot of patience but also high expectations, which is likely to a similar theme on the hunt for a wife.

What They're Looking For
  • MCAB.
  • 18-25, although he'd prefer someone he never taught because the power dynamic would make him uncomfortable.
  • Someone who gets along with his sister since he's taken her into his home.

What I'm Looking For
  • MCAB/WCAB.
  • 18-30.
  • Someone who does NOT get along with his sister or maybe does not want her living with them.

Also Open To
  • Being pursued by ex-students of his because it might lead to a mental break and that sounds fun.

August Echelon-Arnost
34 | Ravenclaw, Class of '74| UCPB | Rep 7
Defense Attorney, General Bleeding Heart Liberal

An introverted nerd with a very liberal politics, August is very prone to awkwardness and also very prone to pining. He's an heir to a significant fortune and probably a great catch if you ignore 1) the cane, 2) the politics, 3) the loosely-hidden bastard. He runs a law practice and is a defense attorney who dabbles in contract law. He's very accident-prone and generally kind, but lonely.

What They're Looking For
  • UCPB/MCPB
  • 20-28
  • Liberal/progressive politics
  • Well read
  • Someone his best friends could get along with who is capable of holding her own in a large family
  • If there's something mild wrong with your reputation August probably thinks that's attractive, he has a weirdly specific type
  • read this tbh

What I'm Looking For
  • UCAB/MCPB
  • 20-28
  • Intuitive enough to have suspicions re: Lysander's parentage or extremely unlikely to have those suspicions
  • Either more lefty than he is or faking progressive values
  • Clever

Also Open To
  • ACAB for chaos
  • A little younger or a little older
  • Basically any form of chaos or drama

Ginevra Blackwood
22 | Former Gryff | UCPB | Rep 9
Debutante

Social and outgoing, enjoys throwing and hosting parties. She is an excellent horsewoman, who enjoys music and theatre.

What They're Looking For
  • Someone fun - or at least prepared to indulge her desire for fun
  • If she isn't passionately in love with them, she could tolerate indifference and even cheating as long as it's subtle and not scandalous. The right name would buy a lot of latitude

What I'm Looking For
  • Disfunction! I'd love for her marriage to be either toxic AF or atypical! Either through the sort of cold indifference of the Powell marriage (Devious maids) or loud and angry with lots of throwing of things, or super lose and liberal (all Henry Granville, and wife Bridgerton) or both!
  • She's Bi - and more than prepared to be the right kind of cynical beard!
  • ALTERNATIVELY, a UCPB widower, or MUCH older man.

Also Open To
  • Older, unconventional, or elopement
  • An OOC-arranged match - she is being NPC married by the end of the year if she's not

Madeleine Backus
21 | Former hufflepuff| Wc-sort of MCHB | Rep 7
Debutante

Quiet but yearning for something more interesting than she currently has. She lives with a wealthy Russian couple who are her guardians.

What They're Looking For
  • Someone interesting, kind, gentle, intellectual and encouraging
  • Would prefer a match of affection, or one where she can explore her academic side.

What I'm Looking For
  • Drama - she is prime elopment material because her guardians are pretty abusive, and she was ready to ask Arven Fisk to marry her if it meant she could get out of her house!
  • if she managed organic hurls great.

Also Open To
  • fortune hunters, a broke or cynical man, or MC second son who wants to bolster his finances through her inheritance
  • An OOC-arranged match, with some drama or plot hook
  • A terrible influence - who could lead her down a darker avenue than her squeky image allows.

Jacob Farley
30 | Gryffindor, Class of '79 | MCPB | Rep 8
Assistant Head, Spell Damage St. Mungo's

Jake is a charmer for sure. He's enthusiastic about his work and muggles. He's been studying muggle medicine for a while and is always thoroughly impressed by their ingenuity for figuring things out without magic. Jake is pretty much working round the clock and good at his job, he just tends to either over focus on something when the mood strikes him, or focuses on nothing at all and is all over the place.

What They're Looking For
  • MCAB
  • 20-27 ish
  • Not Purist, Jake is a BIG FAN of muggles and so wouldn't tolerate anyone who was a staunch purist. He's a little quirky and would prefer someone outgoing and adventurous, but this is flex! An independent lass who could put him in his place would be welcome. He gets a little awkward with the fresh young debs, but they're not out of the realm either!

What I'm Looking For
  • ACAB
  • 18-28
  • I wouldn't mind if his lady friend came from a purist family FOR THE DRAMS.

Elizabeth Cardew
21 | Former Ravenclaw|  MCHB | Rep 8
Museum Curator

An Eliabeth Bennet type, who would be relatively happy not marrying, but she has a million siblings and so understands she HAS to get out of the house and stop being a burden.

What They're Looking For
  • A working husband, or intellectual man who would be happy with her continuing to do the feminine side of working - writing books and academia basically.
  • Would prefer a match of affection - but a cynical, sensible arrangement wouldn't offend her.

What I'm Looking For
  • Probably similar to what she is- but someone to make her lighten up a little would be best.

Also Open To
  • Going full pride and prejudice (which is what Hawke and  I were planning) which was a hatership leading to affection
  • An OOC-arranged match, with some drama or plot hook

Adrestia Dantés
21 |Mandira |  UCHB-sort of | Rep 8
Debutante

Addie appears as a very charitably minded social presence unless you've had private interactions where she has admitted otherwise. She presents a rich HB heiress but is in fact a vengeful PB looking to destroy the family who she blames for 'ruining' her life.

What They're Looking For
  • Not a love match - she has no capacity for affection or so she insists
  • A match that would place her in a position to mess with the 'family'* she blames rightly or wrongly for her fathers death

What I'm Looking For
  • A match that would place her in a position to mess with the 'family'* she blames rightly or wrongly for her fathers death - the husband could be in on it - or not.
  • For her to fall for someone despite thinking of herself as a crusty badger!

Also Open To
  • An OOC-arranged match, with some drama or plot hook ideally one that doesn't interfere with the whole Count of Monte Cristo plot she is cultivating.

@'Jemima Farley'
18 | Hufflepuff, Class of '91 | MCPB | Rep 8
Debutante-to-be

Jemima is... overzealous, dramatic, embarrassingly enthusiastic, and raring to go. She has been waiting her whole life for this moment and is determined not to ruin things for herself (nb: I am determined to ruin things). She is a horrible combination of gullible/shy/awkward and a boy-crazy go-getter, so.

What They're Looking For
  • UC/MCAB. Not too purist for her muggle-friendly parents.
  • Handsome. 23-33ish. Not an old man, probably not a widower.
  • Charming. Spontaneous. Cheerful. Not boring.

What I'm Looking For
  • Men to take advantage of her naivety/who are only interested in casual flings.
  • Men for her to swoon over/throw herself at/socially stalk, but who think she's a weirdo and make fun of her behind her back and to all their friends.
  • Quiet men for her to scare off by being Too Much.
  • Hello yes I am not really looking for her to marry this season, I would prefer to torture her first.

Also Open To
  • Anyone who doesn't match anything Jemima is looking for!

Mason Skeeter
33 | Hufflepuff, Class of '75 | MCHB | Rep 8
Herbology Professor

Mason in a nutshell: caring, intelligent, soft-spoken, nerdy about plants, easy-going, stern in his classroom (for safety), approachable, amiable, trusting, easy to manipulate, scatterbrained, loves to teach and learn, hates to be a disappointment, disorganized, messy, always reading, always busy, forgetful.

What They're Looking For
  • W/MCAB
  • 24-30 ish
  • Mason has a hard time seeing his former students as marriage material, but as he gets older and further into his career that becomes harder and harder. He'd do well with a soft-spoken sort of lady who may also enjoy herbology or potions, something in the field. He'd kinda awks, but super sweet and dedicated. He was entangled with a lass once long ago who broke his heart, so he's kind of guarded.

What I'm Looking For
  • ACAB
  • 18-28
  • I'm down for former students, best if they're fresh out of school, but probably didn't take herbology at the NEWT level? Or maybe they did, it's fine. The more inappropriate the hurl, the better for ME, not necessarily for Mason.

Delight Urquart
20 | Hufflepuff, Class of '89 | MCHB | Rep 5
Dept. MAC Employee

For most of her her life, Delight has—for the most part—tried to live up to her name. More than anything she is loyal to her family, which put her in the crossfires when her sister was outed as a werewolf and her father was pressured to resign as Minister. Because of it she never had a proper debut and chose to work instead.

What They're Looking For
  • MCAB. She’s not looking to marry down, but she also wouldn’t be comfortable among the upper echelons of society.
  • 25+, although she might marry someone closer to her age if it was a love match. No one old enough to be friends with her Papa.
  • She’s not actively looking for a husband but would want more of a partnership in marriage than a super patriarchal structure.
  • Someone who would let her work.

What I'm Looking For
  • Someone she meets through work or other unfortunate circumstances.
  • Having her like someone she shouldn’t, either because it would disrupt a professional relationship or because their personalities conflict.

Also Open To
  • Something fun.
