Emory Beatrix Webb
20 - December 24th, 2001 - Bisexual - Single - PurebloodShopkeeper of Cobb & Webb's in Knockturn Alley
Wand: Holly and Dragon Heartstring, 9 inches
Holly Wand Wood: "Holly is one of the rarer kinds of wand woods; traditionally considered protective, it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger”. Holly wands often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and often spiritual quest. “Holly is one of those woods that varies most dramatically in performance depending on the wand core, and it is a notoriously difficult wood to team with phoenix feather, as the wood’s volatility conflicts strangely with the phoenix’s detachment. In the unusual event of such a pairing finding its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way.”
Appearance: Bright, amber eyes, platinum blonde, messy hair and fair skin. Dresses in 90's grunge - flannel shirts, frayed, denim jeans. She dresses like a muggle most of the time to rebel against her pureblood parents and their strict expectations of what a 'proper witch' ought to wear, behave like, etc. Occasionally wears eyeliner and red lipstick but most of the time she goes all natural simply because she doesn't care enough to make the effort. She's petite, standing at 5'4. She has her father's eyes and mother's blond hair, though she's dyed hers lighter to bold, platinum blonde, she was born with dirty blonde hair that she always despised. Her best feature is her piercing, cat-like, gold eyes. Her worst feature is her height, she's short and it's annoying most of the time.
Personality: Sarcastic, dry sense of humor, grumpy, pessimistic, blunt to the point of being rude, impulsive, self-destructive, reckless, free-spirited, cold, aloof and indifferent, she bottles up all her emotions making her seem very flat and monotonous.
Where are they from?: Parents born in Germany, moved to England.
History: Emory was born to Alyce and Franz Webb, two wealthy purebloods who managed to stay neutral during Voldemort's reign of power, mostly because her parents did not live in England at the time and both attended Durmstrang Institute. Shortly before Emory was born they moved to England due to Franz inheriting his father's shop in Knockturn Alley once he passed away in 2000. It had been two years after Voldemort's downfall and times were particularly chaotic for purebloods. Franz made the wise decision to take over the shop, going into business with his older sister, Freda. The two siblings retired in 2020 and passed on the family business to their children, Emory and her first cousin by the last name of Cobb, changing the shop name from The Black Widow to Cobb & Webb's.
Parents: Franz and Alyce Webb
Siblings: None
Children: None
Is their any history of mental illness in their family: No and if there is they keep it extremely private and do not discuss such things. Emory was raised to bottle up and repress her emotions.
She Hates: Working at the shop but it's slowly growing on her. People, Emory is very antisocial and a generally grumpy, sarcastic person.
She Loves: Freedom, she wants to travel the world but the business is tying down her free spirit.
Have they ever been in love?: No, Emory doesn't date. She has however hooked up with both men and woman, she uses her lovers, never developing genuine feelings for them and she dumps them before she can get too attached, this way she holds all the control in the relationship. She likes to feel empowered.
What is their most traumatic memory?: Killing her childhood cat whom she loved accidentally by dabbling in her father's Dark Arts books and practicing an unknown curse on the feline.
What is their happiest memory?: Dropping out of Hogwarts after sixth year when she became of legal age to.
What would be a stranger's first impression of them?: What a dull, rude girl.
How would you, the writer, describe them?: A young woman struggling to find herself, she was very sheltered and restricted growing up and she's trying to create her own path in life, breaking free of her parents and finding her own happiness.
Magical Abilities: She's a pretty good duelist.
Special Skills: She's wants to be an author, she's good at writing.
Where did they go to school?: Hogwarts, Slytherin House
Was school a good time for them? Describe their school life: No, Emory was an outcast mostly because she chose to be antisocial and separate herself from her peers. She felt it was a waste of time and just wanted to say screw all the expectations and responsibilities and when she became of age she did just that, dropping out of school and traveling as a lone wanderer, living homeless for a few years until her parents offered her the family business to help reignite her ambitious drive and bring her back to reality.
Have they worked previously? If so, where?: Nowhere, she was a beggar and was an exotic dancer at a seedy club in London for a short time.
