An alphabetical list of characters and their tropes from Absit Omen.

    open/close all folders 

The Ministry of Magic

    Department of Magical Law Enforcement 

Mordecai Hollingbury

Head of the Improper Use of Magic

Father of Healer Arcturus Hollingbury, Mordecai is a figure of authority determined to keep the Statute of Secrecy safe. Has an interest in Muggle law and believes Muggles should be treated fairly.
  • Badass Bookworm: He both has an encyclopedic knowledge of wizarding law and is a competent duelist.
  • British Stuffiness: Despite looking and speaking like one at work, Mordecai subverts this - he is friendly and welcoming outside of work. Whether there is trust or not is a different matter.

    Auror Trainees 

Eha Farro

First Year Trainee, formerly of Durmstrang

The adopted daughter of the Estonian Liason to the Ministry. She's prone to partying and is usually quite friendly, but she's also got a violent streak, some buried anger issues, a past she doesn't want to live up to, and a tendency to flirt with everyone in the room.
  • Combat Pragmatist: She's trained in martial arts and is not above throwing away her wand to take people down by hand.
  • Every Scar Has a Story: Hers involves kidnapping and burning fingerprints off so she couldn't be identified.
  • Fun with Foreign Languages: Slips into Estonian and/or Russian on occasion, due to speaking one at home and another at school. She also speaks Arabic, but the origin of that does away with the 'fun' bit pretty quick.

Hogwarts

    Hogwarts Faculty Members 

Tapendra Trishna

Astronomy Professor

Professor of Astronomy, Tapendra advocates Muggle views and techniques over those of the Wizarding World, and as such has garnered both disapproval and agreement. Joining the school in January, replacing Demetrius Woolfolk.

His sister and daughter attend the school: Cyhirae, his daughter, is a first year Ravenclaw and his sister Georgiana is a 7th year Slytherin.

  • Muggles Do It Better: In his eyes, anyhow. He's a little too far on the muggle side to really get the 'big picture' though he has yet to fully realize this.
  • Naïve Newcomer: Was new to Hogwarts as a teacher, and was boggled by the mess of changes that had occurred. He's getting used to it - but certainly isn't helping much with the cleanup.
  • Never Got To Say Good Bye: When his wife died suddenly, and when his mother left. Something of an angst-generator, though he tries not to worry too much about it.
  • Oblivious to Love: Unless it's really, really overt; even then, he tends to try and ignore it once he actually clues in (which can take awhile).
  • Stepford Smiler: Has elements of this; he smiles almost constantly due to a Think Happy Thoughts coping mechanism. Can easily head into creepy.
  • Stern Teacher: Despite his nice nature, he hates having his classes disrupted. He often runs his classes, even if they're with 12-year-olds, like a college lecture course.
  • Stroke the Beard: A habit of his; doesn't make him look particularly wise, however.
  • Sweet Tooth: Given the choice between sweet and anything else, he's going to go for the sugar.
  • White Sheep: Not an extreme example, but the rest of his blood-related family is... not much like him, at all. Especially his mother.

Ignan Storm

Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor

Juliette Vaillancourt

Professor of Potions | Potions Mistress

A former magical perfumer and Beauxbatons alumnus, Juliette was hired by her cousin Hogwarts Headmistress Analiza Snark to teach potions beginning in the spring 2009 semester.

Juliette was raised in England but schooled in her parents' native France during the war against Voldemort. She has close ties in Paris, where she keeps an apartment.

Felinus Woodward

Hogwarts Caretaker

Caretaker of Hogwarts Castle. He’s a lion. No, seriously.

He is a prideful animagus who experimented with developing a technique to allow animagi to speak in their animal form. He technically succeeded but is now stuck in the form of a lion with no way to change back. Following six years of failed treatment at Saint Mungo’s he has come to Hogwarts in the hopes that transfiguration experts like Professor McGonagall may one day be able to return him to his human form.

  • Genius Bruiser: Prior to his Mode Lock, he was a pretty burly human and expert in Transfiguration. Now he’s all that stuck in the body of a lion.
  • The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: He’s definitely got animal instincts pulling at him. How much sway they actually have is a matter of no small debate.
  • Papa Wolf: He’s protective of the school and gentle with the first-years.

    1st Year Students (2009-2010 school year) 

Ted Lupin

Gryffindor

The son that Lupin and Tonks left behind at the end of Deathly Hallows. An enthusiastic young metamorphmagus, Ted loves to be the center of attention but hates when that attention comes from his extended family's reputation rather than his own merits.
  • Expressive Hair: He usually keeps it under control, but sudden shocks or scares can knock the color in and out of his hair.
  • Heroic Resolve: Ted manages to stay calm in the Boggart-ridden Lost Dungeons primarily out of concern for his friends.
  • Honorary Uncle: He’s got five of them in the Weasley boys.
  • Kaleidoscope Hair: Taking after his mum, he changes his hair color and style on a day-to-day basis.
  • Lunacy: Full moons drive him a little nuts. It's currently unclear as to whether he's actually hearing something when the moon 'sings' or if it's just minor moon-sickness brought on by the werewolf blood.
  • Orphan's Plot Trinket: Of a sort. His mother left behind several journals about growing up a metamorphmagi. Ted refers to them on a regular basis.
  • Totally Not a Werewolf: Gets a double-dose of this thanks to being Remus Lupin’s son. He does have some werewolf-like quirks and mood-swings, though.

Roland "Rou" Dylanis X

Hufflepuff

Son of an American Auror and a Welsh pureblood, Roland was born during the Second Wizarding War while his father was on assignment from the American Magical Government in Britain: monitoring the Voldemort Crisis, as they called it, on their behalf for the possibility of Voldemort going to war with the United States once he'd conquered Britain. After his father and mother were hunted down by Snatchers, as the last thing Voldemort wanted was America intervening in his conquest of Britain, Rou was rescued by his grandfather, Roland Dylanis IX, and has been growing up in Swansea, Wales ever since the end of the Second Wizarding War. Despite his nontraditional parentage, Rou was slated for Hogwarts from birth.
  • Child Soldiers: Has elements of this in his upbringing by Grandpa Roland. When Rou's home, he's either intensely studying magical theory beyond his age, training his body and mind in order to keep his physical and magical abilities at peak condition, or being grilled by his grandfather on what he learned at Hogwarts the previous year in order to keep him on top of his schoolwork. Rou is twelve years-old.
  • Odd Friendship: With Aoife Moffett and Ted Lupin. Rou is reclusive and introverted as a result of his rather stressful upbringing by his grandfather. Aoife and Ted are outgoing kids who always seem to drag him into one small adventure after another. And if it's not them, it's some other classmate of Rou's that winds up dragging him from his preferred sitting spot by the lake.
  • Parental Abandonment: Not of their own choice, though. Robert Dylanis and Sian Bowen were "persons of interest" to the Voldemort regime due to Robert being a foreign agent serving as his government's eyes and ears on the Crisis. As a result, he was hunted across Britain during the initial months of the Second Wizarding War and was finally tracked down and killed, along with his wife, by a party of Snatchers led by Fenrir Greyback.
  • Separated by a Common Language: Rou was born in Wales but was raised by his American grandfather, as a result much of his manner of speaking has a blend of British and American dialects, leaning more towards American.

Dione Sayer

Slytherin

The granddaughter of one of Voldemort's earliest followers, Dione is a traditional blood purist through and through. A childhood accident left her mute, so she can only communicate through sign language and a magical translation artifact. She might seem vulnerable, but she's actually a snake in the grass, so watch out.
  • Dance Battler: When dueling, though it's more of a ballet than the usual examples of the trope.

    2nd Year Students 

Philo Falkin

Ravenclaw

Philo is a glum faced youth who likes puzzles and (accidentally) gets into various kinds of adventures. Current play by is Skander Keynes.
  • Always Someone Better: In his family, his more scholarly traits aren't as lauded as the outdoorsy traits his family admires, subjects like Creatures or Herbology that Philo is bad with.
  • Black Sheep: A reclusive Ravenclaw geek in a family of outdoorsy Hufflepuff types.
  • Butt-Monkey: Has odd or horrible things happen to him beyond his control.
  • Chubby Chaser: Likes larger women, part of the attraction to Drea (Obderedria). But terribly insecure about it. Best not to mention Drea. Or certain professors. Or an infamous incident in Charms involving a cushioning spell gone awry. Like Parent, Like Spouse is somewhat at work here as some women in Philo's family are more full figured.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: Of a sort, builds a magical camera out of a broken pair of omnioculars.
  • Picky Eater: Unsure of solely spinach pie when a vegetarian classmate is visiting and it takes hanging out with Drea to get him to like fruit.
  • Twice Shy: With Drea. She's horribly shy to begin with and he has no clue how to express romance at his age (and his brother's love motto isn't helping).

Mairead O' Fearghail

Gryffindor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/youngmai_4205.jpg

A Pavee wizard by birth, Mairead is proud of her Muggleborn status and extremely boyish and physical in nature. Sworn enemies with Eirene Antonopolous since the beginning of the year, her closest friends are boys - Keegan Kearney most of all.

  • One of the Boys: Very much so, to the point where all of the boys think of her as one of them, rather than a girl.

Tynan Macfusty

Gryffindor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avatar_708_1287935490_2232.png

Pureblood and Scottish by birth, Tynan was born to one of the segments of the Macfusty clan - an ancient group of wizards who guard, care for and watch over the Herbridien Black dragons. His own tiny family calls Minuglay Island home. Missing an eye due to a dragon attack when he was young, Tynan is thick-accented, down to earth and very physical.

  • Book Dumb: He's got a lot of practical skills that come from his lifestyle at home...that don't help him at all at Hogwarts.
  • Scars Are Forever: He lost his eye by being smashed in the face with the dragon's tail - crushing his eye and breaking most of his face and skull. Considering the extent of the original injury, just missing an eye was lucky - but the eye is covered by a massive scar.
  • Wouldn't Hit a Girl: Unless she hits first. Or she's Mairead.

Heliotrope LeJean

Hufflepuff

Heliotrope LeJean is the resident part merperson... yes, you heard that right. Basically she looks like a human under the constant effects of Gillyweed with webbed digits, gills at her neck and freaky eyelids. As she was raised in a Scottish Loch in a merfolk clan she hasn't been too prepared for wizarding school (or other things humans take for granted) although she's slowly adapting. Current play by is Brooklynn Proulx.
  • Apparently Human Merfolk: This being Potterverse, Helio looks like she’s constantly under the effects of gillyweed. So, she’s human, but with gills on her neck, webbed digits, and translucent eyelids.
  • Book Dumb: Helio does better with hands-on learning than academic.
  • Free-Range Children: Mother can’t meet her at the train station after school is out? No matter, Heliotrope will swim several hundred miles around the UK continent on her way to Loch Lomond.
  • Half-Human Hybrid: Half human, half mermish, as seen by grayish skin and gills. A biological anomaly in the wizarding world thus far, and actually not as integrated in merfolk society as believed.
  • Prefers Going Barefoot: Likes the feel of the ground on her bare feet, plus webbed toes makes flip-flops or socks difficult.
  • Raised by Natives: Heliotrope does have a witch for a mother but she adopted the merpeople lifestyle too, while being something akin to an assimilated Wild Child.
  • Sense Freak: As many human senses are dulled underwater, let's just say Heliotrope takes advantage of dry stimulations.
  • Sleep Mask: Not for the usual method to show class. She has translucent eyelids so she needs something to block her vision when sleeping the 'landdweller method.'
  • Wild Hair: Never washed, only wet from swims, and hosts algae.

Obderedria Pienas

Hufflepuff

Shy but sweet, Obderedria or "Drea" as people call her was largely muggle raised by a single mother. She likes all kinds of food and has a very vivid imagination, leading to occasional incorrect or naive understandings of magic. Also, her hair inexplicably grows in brown with green polka dots pattern. Current play by is Bianca Ryan.
  • Cloud Cuckoolanders Minder: Drea watches out for when Heliotrope doesn't get things.
  • Dandere: Shy but very bubbly underneath.
  • Disappeared Dad: Dad was probably a wizard and altered the memory of her mother. But Obderedria has no qualms for being raised by a single parent.
  • Mr. Imagination: Frequently imagines magic to be much crazier than what it really is. Note many of her letters to her imaginary friend Beverly, her cartoonish doodling, and her adventure stories.
  • Obsessed with Food: One of her favorite aspects of Hogwarts are the meals, and she's genuinely interested in learning to cook them.
  • Sanity Slippage: Ever since a criminal's botched Obliviation after she was victim to a mugging, Drea easily becomes confused.

    4th Year Students 

Casey O'Doherty

Slytherin

Casey O'Doherty is the scion of a wealthy, pure-ish family of Irish loan sharks. Being incredibly rich, Casey has the best of everything, his own house elf of the manor's three servants and access to the family wand almost as legendary as the Deathstick. Being groomed as the next scion he's under much pressure to work past his many allergies and physical weaknesses to be one of the best spell-casters in the year. However, he comes off as a jerk given his family's attitudes and his refusal to let anyone close.

There's more to the story as Casey is intersex. In his Big, Screwed-Up Family his grandparents enforced a shift in personality from how Casey's muggle mother raised him as a girl. Casey is between male and female but is rendered male by wearing a special appearance-changing amulet. His feminine side is represented in the alias of a Hufflepuff third year Hexmerelda 'Hexy' Claggin, at first a Secret Identity for games of deception and more commonly an avatar of self-expression as he comes to terms with a sense of identity. Not that any other character knows this: chalk it up to They're Called "Personal Issues" for a Reason.

Current play by(s) is Will Poulter and Quinn Shephard for Hexy.

  • Amulet of Dependency: Literally with Casey's appearance-changing amulet. It's by far the easiest method to look completely like a boy, instead of his naturally androgynous features, so before he lost it he rarely removed it. Wearing it for years without taking it off, especially when growing up, may have contributed to his poor health.
  • Becoming the Mask: Played with over the course of Casey's history of 'matching expectations' from his family and eventually how he is known at school, to the point that while Casey can develop other personas he's not sure who he should really be.
  • Crazy-Prepared: Living with a lot of bizarre medical allergies prompts Casey to have many backups, special artifacts and trained knowledge.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Never pity Casey. He discerns both genuine and insulting pity as 'phony' unless he's playing the handicapped card.
  • Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: He's very protective of his muggle mother after previous neglect.
  • Fiction 500: The O'Dohertys, Irish loan sharks, are one of the five wealthiest families in all of magical Europe. They are said to have more money lying around at home than what is in their sizable Gringotts vault, mainly set up in piles for bowling down the East Wing of the manor.
  • Fully-Clothed Nudity: Very uncomfortable being seen in any state of partial undress.
  • Meaningful Name: The gender neutral Casey, because he's intersex, and O'Doherty, which means 'hurtful'.
  • Glass Cannon: Insanely powerful at casting spells but he has low stamina and resistance to everything.
  • Guilty Pleasures: Dancing to club/pop/(w)rock music of all things, inspired by the first time Casey was significantly Lost in Character as Hexy at a teen nightclub. Often retreats to a club themed version of the Room of Requirement to practice spells.
  • Literal Split Personality: During the 'Body Swap' event when many characters are swapped with each other, Casey's personality is split along his male and female identities. While both share some memories and a body of knowledge, they don't interact or recall each other until re-assimilated.
  • Logical Weakness: He's easily exhausted and has a lower immunity due to improper/imbalanced hormones from his intersex condition.
  • Master Actor: When he isn't being a total jerk, Casey can pull this off surprisingly well (Occlumency also helps) which adds to Hexy being a complete other persona.
  • Multilayer Façade: Hexy is in a secret society. That means Casey is disguising himself as Hexy who disguises herself as her cat-themed avatar Felinae.
  • The Napoleon: Casey's on the shorter side of the male population at school, even after casting a Stretching Jinx on himself one summer. He's mostly angry because of his other allergies and handicaps instead of his height, but it does crop up sometimes.
  • Plot Allergy: Several normal and magical ones bordering on Weaksauce Weakness and humorous Body Horror (blue skin and strawberry shaped boils at times!).
  • The Proud Elite: While not incredibly handsome, Casey is very snooty and antisocial from his upbringing, until he forms certain close relationships.
  • Raised as the Opposite Gender: An odd case. The first gender picked for Casey was female (a more accurate pick from apparent phenotype physiology) but his grandparents began raising Casey as a male halfway through childhood.
  • Suppressed Mammaries: In-Universe, Casey's amulet suppresses his breasts so that he can pass as a male student. He has to find another magical method to do this when his amulet is lost.
  • Utility Belt: Contains all of his magical possessions. Came out looking more like a skirt.
  • Weak, but Skilled: Casey is physically weak, but he's dangerously inventive when it comes to martial magic.
  • Where Does He Get All Those Wonderful Toys?: Most of his magical devices are said to come from underworld contacts the family has with lengthy delays to avoid detection. In the case of the Hand of Glory, an extra was fudged for Casey on the order the family commissioned for another criminal.
  • Wig, Dress, Accent: Besides the body changes covered by the amulet, the Hexy disguise is completed with a wig and more casual clothes than what Casey normally wears.
  • Wrong Genetic Sex: Intersex, both male and female, though his natural body without the amulet is more feminine.

Alvis Balthazar Norling

Ravenclaw

A mildly eccentric Ravenclaw half-blood with an interest in the stars. He comes from a long line of craftsmen, which might explain his interest in designing magical objects, though not his dabbling in combining magic with Muggle technology. When he was six years old, he disappeared for several days only to turn up with his memories of the previous month completely wiped. This memory charm damaged his mind, leaving him vulnerable to the influence of others. In retaliation, his mind learned to defend itself with a sort of psuedo-Legilimency, which he has yet to understand.
  • Actual Pacifist: Defense Against the Dark Arts is his worst class because he can't bring himself to practice hexing or jinxing his classmates.
  • Bookworm: Born and raised in a small-town bookstore.
  • Cannot Tell a Lie: In the same way that children can't. Plus, since he always knows when other people are lying and doesn't know that they don't know, it seems like a waste of time to him.
  • Cloud Cuckoo Lander: He’s always a little eccentric, but the stops come out in times of stress. Then he does things like build blanket forts around sleeping upperclassmen.
  • Cooldown Hug: Delivers one to end an argument. To everyone's surprise, it kinda works.
  • Family Theme Naming: Balthazar is the traditional Western name for one of the three Biblical Magi. This goes with his father (Orville Caspar), great aunt (Niamh Melchior), and grandfather (Weyland Artaban, after Henry van Dyke's The Other Wiseman) but doesn't make it any less embarrassing.
  • Intelligence Equals Isolation: He’s been at Hogwarts for four years and is only now starting to get a social life.
  • Intergenerational Friendship: When he was six, with wanted wizarding criminal Darius Gabor.
  • In Touch with His Feminine Side: He can be kind of girly with his pacifism, big eyes, mothering personality, and fondness for cuddling. It's emphasized in comparison with Casey.
  • Item Crafting: The family trade on his magical side. His relatives make brooms, potions, spellbooks, and artifacts, while Alvis currently dabbles in a little of everything, to the point of forging basic amulets in the common room hearth.
  • Puppy-Dog Eyes: He has them. It leads to a lot of baby animal comparisons. Being played by a young Haley Joel Osment adds to the effect.
  • Schizo Tech: His design philosophy of recreating muggle technology with magical solutions can border on this sometimes. When tasked to design a "simple security device" for the Transfiguration midterm, he sketched up the wizarding equivalent of a wireless security camera.
  • Shorter Means Smarter: Averted - Alvis is one of the taller boys in his year and is starting to out-grow some of the professors as well.
  • You Are Better Than You Think You Are: Weirdly, he winds up giving and getting this in equal measure. On one hand he needs to be reassured that other people like him. On the other, he's quick to point out the hidden good in people he likes, when given the opportunity.

    6th Year Students 

P.E. Ligeia Canterbury

Ravenclaw

An aristocrat with albinisim, Ligeia, as she prefers to be called, is the youngest in a rather unusual family, what with a half brother more like an uncle and a father old enough to be her grandfather. She's a throwback to many styles, mostly Victorian, with plenty of unusual and macabre interests. Commonly seen about with a magical black parasol and her pet vulture mistakenly called Buzzard. Current play by is Nastya Kumarova.
  • Collector of the Strange: Her decor at home includes benign objects from Borgin and Burkes and several preserved body parts in jars. Purely academic!
  • Embarrassing First Name: The P.E. stands for "Polly Esther." She has a sister named Polka-Dot and a father named Argyle.

Tetra-Wizard Tournament Delegations

    Beauxbatons Academy of Magic 
Beauxbatons Academy of Magic is a magical school located in Cannes, France. It is known throughout Europe for its high performance standards as well as for emphasizing creative subjects, such as art, dance, wand-lore, rhetoric, and the crafting of magical objects. The majority of its students come from France, but applications are accepted from throughout the French-speaking magical world.

Based on the French education system, Beauxbatons is divided into two "schools": the collège, for ages 11-14, and the lycée, for ages 15-18. Dorms are assigned based on age and gender.

    Drumstrang Institute 
Durmstrang Institute is a private magic school located in an unplottable site somewhere in Northern Europe, most likely coastal Norway or Sweden. Its reputation is both morbid and of the highest caliber. Students of Durmstrang are among the best in the world, and they won't let you forget it.

Drumstrang only accepts pure-blood students, who are divided into strata based on their abilities: Oberteils, Zufrieden, and Dregs. Advancement and demotion are based as much on politics as academic performance, and it is a constant struggle to stay on top.

Tropes shared by Durmstrang delegation include:

  • Academy of Evil: As per canon, the school has a reputation for teaching its students Dark Magic. Whether it's deserved is another story.
  • Military School: To a certain extent. It's certainly stricter than the other schools, and a number of the teachers and students have militaristic leanings.

    Salem Witches' Institute 
A recent addition to the tournament roster, the Salem Witches Institute of Magic is the oldest magic school in the United States. Unlike European magic schools, Salem places a strong emphasis on sport, friendly competition and muggle subjects. It is also quite progressive and accepts all blood purities, including half-breeds, without judgement.

Salem Senior High is divided into five dormitory halls: Merlin, Agrippa, Cliodine, Ptolemy, and Dumbledore. However, dorm assignment is luck-of-the-draw rather than personality-based, making it more like a muggle university than the Hogwarts houses.

Tropes shared by the Salem staff & students include:

  • Team Spirit: Compared to the competition, Salem often stands as a united front, using teamwork even in Tasks meant for individual champions.

Taryn Dickenson

Junior, Cliodine Hall

An enthusiastic female half-giant with a big heart and a taste for adventure. Star of the Salem basketball team and one of three Champions chosen for the First Task. She is also the owner of Nagendra, a horned serpent.
  • Admiring the Abomination: Her reaction to the appearance of a twisted, slobbering, Australian abomination in COMC class can be summed in one word: Squee.
  • Big Friendly Dog: Her patronus is a Saint Bernard large enough to swallow a first year. She also owns one in her pet Newfoundland, Antonia.
  • Femininity Failure: Is afraid of this – she wants to be cute and feminine sometimes, but doesn’t think her size allows for it.
  • Fluffy Tamer: Her menagerie includes Cretan Bulls, accidentally-engorged scorpions, Acromantula, and giant horned snakes.

Other Professional Witches and Wizards

    St. Mungo's 

Arcturus Hollingbury

Healer, Potion and Plant Poisoning (3rd Floor)

Only noticeable because of his hair being split into black on one side and white on the other, Arcturus is non-confrontational and happy to be where he is. Tends to keep to himself and enjoy a world without changes, although whether his world stays the same remains to be seen. Part of a heavily halfblood family with relations in Greece.
  • Cowardly Lion: Prefers to keep out of physical conflicts and even will try to wiggle his way out of confrontations, but when forced to Arcturus will fight back, if reluctantly.
  • Guilty Pleasures: Fizzing Whizzbees. He knows the effects the sweets have, especially as a Healer, but still likes them anyway.
  • Noodle Incident: His hair. He claims it was a "hair dyeing" accident, but considering the damage is permanent, there is no method known to reverse this and he avoids answering if asked to explain, he must have done something more than just that.
  • Only in It for the Money: Averted, Arcturus works as a Healer to help everyone regardless of blood purity or race.
  • Protective Charm: Arcturus is a master of the Shield Charm and its variants.
  • Self-Deprecation: A lot. However, his poor expression of it ends up making him look insensitive to others.
  • The Stoic: Has a permanent look of vague curiosity and does smile from time to time, but he expresses very little emotion even in his tone. Resulted from his experiences during the Second Wizarding War.

    Others 

Laney Irving

Professional Quidditch Player

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/laneyav_3314.png

19-year-old Seeker for the Montrose Magpies.

  • Lean and Mean: Laney is a mean gal with flat proportions, and she likes it that way. What she may lack in bust, she makes up for in legs.
  • One of the Boys: Laney is a rough-and-tumble tomboy who prefers to hang with the boys.
  • Some Call Me "Tim": Laney’s full name is Lorraine, but most of her acquaintances call her Laney.

Criminals

    WBA Members 
In the wake of the Dark Lord's defeat, the remaining Death Eaters and blood purists were left largely disorganized. The Wizarding Blood Alliance rose to fill that need. Though still highly disorganized and prone to infighting, the WBA has proven dangerous in their quest to bring back the old pro-Wizard ways.

Tropes shared by the WBA include:

  • Black Magic: Not a requirement, but many members tend to practice the Dark Arts.

    Other Criminals 

Azorma Hyskos

Assassin

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/avatar_677_1287504215_5736.png

The mother of both Georgiana and Tapendra Trishna, Azorma - birth name Atalana - was the eldest daughter of the Egyptian Kanika clan. Disinherited after a short affair with a muggle, she endured decades of humiliation before she finally snapped and became Azorma Hyskos - assassin and murderer. A Metamorph, she hides her true form as often as possible.

Currently on her way to get shipped to Azkaban.

  • Arranged Marriage: Was involved in a perfectly functional, if somewhat dull arranged marriage - until she cheated on him.

Anadotti Squiggs

Criminal Degenerate

A transplanted American witch dropout and flying squirrel animagus. Dotty as she prefers to be called has been unscrupulous all her life, leading to her expulsion/disappearance from Salem Witches Institute after the accidental death of one of her friends. Her kind of crime-to-survive-substance-abusing-ever-partying-idiotic-behavior is a very distinctive style of crazy. Current play by is Rachel Dashae.
  • Animal Motif: Flying squirrel animagus. Behaves very squirrelly.
  • Beware the Silly Ones: She can be unpredictably chaotic at her most inebriated to needlessly aggressive when she isn't.
  • Stoners Are Funny: Most of the time her various intoxications make her escapades more silly and stupid. Withdrawal, on the other hand, can make her more dangerous.
  • Toad Licking: Her favorite drink, Blue Toad, is the liquid version of this. Comes complete with a slick cartoon blue Bufo Toad mascot.
  • Trash of the Titans: Her hideouts invariably turn into this with all the junk she pilfers.
