This is still a work in progress...I'm almost finished though. I just have to edit and elaborate on the personality and create Abigale's backstory.
Abigale Emery Laverne
Name: Abigale Emery Laverne
Gender: Female
Age: 32
Birthday and Place: St. Mungo’s
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual (not very in touch with sexuality)
Languages Spoken: English, French, Latin (for Runic Studies)
Hobbies: Paperwork, reading, dueling, teaching, reprimanding students, attending Quidditch games, looking longingly at pubs (gave up drinking a while back)
Strengths: Witty, strategical, practical, hardworking, independent, dedicated, works well under pressure, underlying caring, youthful, doesn’t take any shit from the rest of the staff (though they are her seniors by at least 25 years)
Weaknesses: Workaholic, stoic, stern, friendless, prefers routine over change
The Physical;;
Height: Reasonably tall
Figure/Build: Lean, slight muscles
Appearance (Hair/Skin/Eyes/etc.): Chest-length light-brown hair (normally kept in an neat bun), pale complexion, light freckles on her nose, hazel eyes, no makeup, appears young from frequent exercise
Health Status: Very healthy
Voice/Speech: Firm but pleasant
Typical Clothing: Button-up shirts and trousers (doesn’t like the gaudy dress robes or blouse/skirt combos)
The Mental;;
Personality: As Head of Ravenclaw House, she resembles her students. She is studious, but unlike them, she also values the practical. She has mastered theory and demonstration equally. The Headmaster and her enjoy duels. She does all the paperwork Headmaster Leydenfrost does not do without complaint. A guilty pleasure of hers is watching Quidditch matches, although she herself has never played a game due to her fear of heights.
Likes: A good wizard’s duel, research (the Laverne Family has quite the archive), watching Quidditch, yoga, morning jogs, fine sculpture, Dreamless Sleep Potions, riddles/puzzles
Dislikes: Figureheads, incompetency, extravagance, detentions (prefers a more productive punishment), [Leydenfrost’s] equivocations and meaningless aphorisms
Phobias: Heights, being Obliviated (she prides herself on her memory)
Religion: While she appreciates what Christianity and other religions have brought culturally and historically, she doesn’t have any religious affiliations nor is she pronounced Atheist. She isn’t markedly spiritual either. One could say she, like the Headmaster, is Unitarian Universalist.
Goals: To live up to the legacy of her predecessor, Minerva McGonagall with whom she’s distinctly related to in one way or another (Purebloods, ya know?), make a breakthrough in Runic Studies and write a book on it, prove the Ministry wrong when they called her out for “being too young”
Desires: The fulfillment of her goals, a circle of reliable friends
Secrets: She was a former alcoholic and after Muggle rehabilitation, she set out to fix her life. Abigale attained a Runes Mastery and Leydenfrost hired her as Professor of Ancient Runes. After just a year of teaching, she became Head of Ravenclaw House and then Headmistress despite her age and inexperience. She secretly has been harboring a crush on the Headmaster. Another more minor secret is that due to her paranoia, she sets up rune-based wards around her quarters nightly. Just a quirk really.
Reactions/Expressions: She seems to have taken on Minerva’s lip-pursing thing, and she has numerous reactions to various kinds of bullshit. There’s a special one reserved for insufferable Ministry workers.
The Magical;;
Blood Status: Technically Pureblood, but considered a “blood traitor” much like the Weasley family (although not poor)
Wand: First wand was poplar, unicorn tail hair, 9 ¾”, slightly springy, and the second and incumbent one is vine, dragon heartstring, 11”, supple
It’s curious that Abigale’s wand has the same wood and core as Hermione Granger’s and the same core as Minerva McGonagall’s.
Patronus: Lynx
Hogwarts House: Ravenclaw (though she is quite brave) when she attended Hogwarts
Classes (in order from best to worst): Ancient Runes, Charms, DADA, Transfiguration, Arithmancy, Herbology, Potions
Extracurriculars: She was an avid participator in the Dueling Club
Boggart: A heavily inebriated version of herself; it reminds her of her wilder days- something she’s not too fond of.
Relationships;;
Parents: Broderick, (Broom maker, owns the Quidditch shop in Diagon Alley) and Marjorie Laverne, (Senior editor for the Daily Prophet)
Siblings: Wennet, 30 (Curse breaker for Gringotts, Bill’s protege), Apolline, 35 (Healer at St. Mungo’s); Wennet chose bachelordom and Apolline is married with two kids
Children: N/A
Lover: N/A
Other Relatives: N/A
Friends: Do staff members count?
Enemies: Yet to be made...
