Mildred-Margaret Mae McIntyre

Wand Wood Description:

Beech:
The true match for a beech wand will be very wise beyond their years and rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded, ignorant and intolerant. When properly placed, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation. It is highly sought after.

Appearance:

Mildred-Margaret is a fairly pale girl who’s hair is long and black, flowing to her waist. She usually just lets it hang down, but will occasionally pull it up into braid or something to keep it under control, especially as it has a habit of getting pulled by the backs of classroom chairs. Her eyes are a bit different, in that they’re a weird metallic silver mixed with a bit of light blue. Yes, she was born that way. No, she hasn’t any clue where they came from either. It’s probably some kind of recessive gene.

Mildred-Margaret will wear whatever color she feels like that day, but she tends to stray towards purples and blues and white, but, specifically, indigo and periwinkle are her favorites. She likes girly things, with bits of lace and ribbons and buttons, lots and lots of wonderfully colorful buttons. She’ll wear her jeans, but she can most likely be found in a skirt or dress, but both have to fly up when she spins.

Personality:

Mildred-Margaret is a bit of an odd duck. She’s a very nice girl who loves to love people and at the same time, doesn’t think very highly of her own self. She has a mindset that she will never, ever, be good enough for anyone. After all, if her first parents didn’t want her, and her second set isn’t happy with her even after they specifically picked her out, there must be something wrong with her. Aside from thinking she’s a terrible person, Mildred-Margaret is a very gentle soul. She tends to keep to herself, burying her nose in books or her paints to escape the constant refrain of ‘I suck’ out of her head. She’s also the kind of girl who can be relied upon in situations where emotions are involved. She’ll always offer a shoulder to cry on or an ear to just listen when the world feels too big and out of control. She has a particular soft spot for children and animals. She’s always very soft spoken, but also quite smart and tries to exceed in all of her classes. Anything less than an E is unacceptable in her parents’ eyes. Sometimes she gets the urge to be absolutely goofy and dance about and just laugh, to roll in the mud or wear something outrageous but she refrains. It wouldn’t be ladylike and she must always, first and foremost, be a lady. No matter how tiring it is.

Mildred-Margaret is a bit of a brooder. She tends to fall into herself sometimes if she’s not careful and is really hard on herself. She struggles with being the person her parents want her to be and the slightly more crazy person she has inside her that is bursting to come out. She’s not good at saying no to things either, always wanting to make others happy even if it hurts her in the process. She isn’t very strong and is actually quite emotionally weak. Being teased cuts through her pretty badly and she’ll dwell on it for days.

What He/She Loves:

Cuddling, people, holding hands, laying in giant piles of comfy soft things, painting, reading, teaching others, learning new things, eating candy, dyed hair, giant buttons, dancing, school, and animals.

What He/She Hates:

Never being good enough, her parents’ opinions of her, her own inner demons, bullies, needles, the dark, heights, old fashion ideals, those who put themselves upon a pedestal, perfection, and having to hide her true self away in a pretty little box.

History:

Mildred-Margaret has been raised by very stern, old-fashion, close-minded parents with absolutely no sense of anything but ‘upholding family honor and pride at all times’. Growing up nothing she did was right. ‘Ladies don’t slouch. Ladies don’t talk back. Fix your hair, Mildred-Margaret. Fix your dress, Mildred-Margaret. Are you really going like that?’ There comes a heavy pressure of being an only child whose parents push and push to form you into a mold they expect you to fill even if it’s too small. The idea of perfection is something Mildred-Margaret is not unfamiliar with, and she strives so hard to fill it and be the perfect daughter her parents so desired. Mildred-Margaret was adopted when she was about six-months-old, her pure-blooded, American parents being too young to care for her properly. Or at least that’s what her adoptive parents have always told her. She’s not sure if it’s true or not. Sometimes she feels at if it’s like they bought her and have since been unsatisfied with the outcome. However, there was no way they were going to send her back or anything of the sort, not after presenting their supposedly perfect little daughter to all of their high-class friends.

Mildred-Margaret has tried very hard throughout her life to form herself to her parents’ desires, but it’s difficult sometimes when you don’t have the exact same ideals or abilities as them. Mildred-Margaret used to constantly clash with them about things, like Muggleborns. Mildred-Margaret doesn’t mind them, but god forbid her parents have to even speak to one. Of course, they keep their opinions safely harbored within the McIntyre Manor, not wanting to make themselves look disgraceful in these new times of encouraging pure and Muggleborn marriages. However, Mildred-Margaret learned long ago that fighting against her parents just results in more heartache. Whenever she acted out, they were especially quick to point out every single one of her flaws, thus resulting in Mildred-Margaret’s mindset and opinion of her own self. God forbid if her parents ever found out she likes girls.

During the war, her parents were neither opposed to Voldemort, nor did they join up with the Death Eaters. They kind of just stayed out of it and silently watched from the sidelines.
