Daphne Greengrass Nott

DAPHNE GREENGRASS NOTT

Wand: Willow and Unicorn Hair, 10 inches

Wand Wood Description: Known for its healing power, the ideal owner for a willow wand often has some deep-rotted insecurity that the may try to hide. This wand is known for being a handsome wand, good with non-verbal magic. This wand prefers an own with unseen potential rather than someone who believes they know it all and have nothing else to learn. “It has always been a proverb in the Ollivander family that he who has furthest to travel will go fastest with willow."

Appearance:  Long golden blonde hair and bright blue eyes, almost grey. Her skin used to have a lovely golden hue to it, but over the years has become much paler. Often she will color charm her hair a variety of natural colors, mostly to attract attention. Proper robes and dresses at all times. Despite financial hardship, Daphne would rather wear the same dress one hundred times than be caught dead in Muggle attire outside of Muggle areas (which she rarely frequents). She has learned clothing modifying charms over the years to try and keep her clothing pristine and altered to show a variety. Daphne possesses natural beauty and has never relied on makeup or charms. Daphne takes after her mother's coloring, while her younger sister Astoria always took after their father. She prides herself on the fact that all of her children took her hair coloring as she has always found blondes to be more beautiful.

Personality: Stuck in the past. Daphne still believes and pushes the old ways that she was taught as a child, and often ignores words of wisdom from her family and friends who think otherwise. She keeps her head down in proper company however, knowing better than to cause problems to further the distress that the Nott's have to endure because of their blood status and past affiliations. When drinking (which is often) Daphne has a nasty temper and an incredibly short fuse. She's incredibly broken and despite outward appearances, has unbelievably low self esteem as she has no talents outside of being a wife - in a marriage that has all but failed. Strongly in denial that the past twenty years have even happened. Daphne eagerly awaits the day when society will correct itself and she will go along with it and rise above the Muggle-borns that have taken over the Wizarding world. Despite her actions, she loves her children because they are a part of her, but she is bitter because she knows she is a terrible mother and is aware that her children prefer her sister to her. She's incredibly suspicious when it comes to her marriage, but often too embarrassed to confront the issues. Daphne in a sense does not know how to function in today's Wizarding world.

What He/She Loves: She has a small affection for her children. Daphne loves the potential for something better to come along, always looking for a better opportunity. She does love her sister, but it takes a while to break down her walls to get to it.

What He/She Hates: Being kept in the dark and lied to.

History: Born and raised the perfect pureblood witch, Daphne grew up in the highest of societies alongside her sister. No two girls could be more different however, as Astoria was sorted (to the disappointment of their parents) into Ravenclaw, while Daphne carried on the long tradition of Greengrass blood in the noble House of Slytherin and was considered a boon to her parents legacy. She relied on her parents to provide everything for her, and knew that a proper marriage would be arranged - though she often tried to manipulate her way into the good graces of Draco Malfoy - so when boys at Hogwarts would approach her, they were immediately denied. All of her plans fell to pieces however when Lord Voldemort was defeated and the Greengrasses, like many other pureblood families had to deal with a bit of backlash for their prejudiced ways and improper alliances.

Daphne was devastated when her younger sister fell in love with and married Draco Malfoy, and begged her parents to arrange a better marriage, only ending up with Theodore Nott. Not opposed to marrying Theo, Daphne found herself intially enamored with him, especially considering how intelligent he was, though all too quickly their marriage became nothing more than a farce save for the few moments where their three children were conceived. Bitter over the way her life turned out, Daphne took to drinking quite often and her volatile temper clashed with her husband on numerous occasions causing her son to pick up the parenting slack.
