olivia mulciber
Birthday: January 13, 2014
Blood Status: Pureblood
Location of Residence: Surrey, United Kingdom
School: Hogwarts
House: Future Slytherin
Appearance:
Three Characteristics You Think You Are: Intelligent, observant, tenacious
Three Characteristics Others Think You Are: Entitled, snobby, mouthy
Three Random Facts:
• Olivia can speak French and write in Latin thanks to the tutors her parents had hired.
• She wants to be in Slytherin but is worried that the Sorting Hat might put her in Ravenclaw - because, after all, she is so intelligent!
• Since she doesn't yet have her own wand, she sometimes "borrows" one from her mother or father to practice magic. It tends to end in some shattered or singed items and a light scolding from her parents.
Aspirations:
• To get her parents to buy her that pretty owl she'd seen at the Magical Menagerie.
• To learn everything about all major branches of magic and be the best at all of them.
• To become the next Dark Lady.
Favourite Class: Defence Against the Dark Arts, if only because it's the closest thing to Dark Arts one can learn at Hogwarts before reaching NEWT level classes.
Least Favourite Class: Potions - all those icky ingredients make the subject unappealing.
Favourite Wizarding Food or Drink: Liquorice Wands.
Thoughts on Blood Purism: It is part of her upbringing. Olivia has been looking down on Muggles and Muggleborns since she was old enough to understand what those terms mean. She does not like the idea that a lot of Muggleborns will be her classmates at Hogwarts. Half-bloods are tolerable, though, as long as they don't overreach.
Thoughts on the Government: Her parents seem to support the Ministry of Magic, so Olivia believes it is a trustworthy establishment. She doesn't really know enough about it to have a solid opinion.

Roleplay Example:
It sounded almost as though Julian was telling her he needed no assistance. Maeve was not so easily dismissed, however, especially by someone younger than herself. "I remember the tour I was given when I transferred from Durmstrang," she responded, casually slipping in a detail that might set the boy at ease somewhat - she had been in the same situation he was currently in, she understood how it felt. "All the key locations were shown; with adequate spatial memory, that is just sufficient to find one's way around..." Physically, at least. The social complexities of the local student body would not have been mentioned. Had he even been told that the school accepted half-breeds, or was this a point the Headmistress no longer bothered to mention?
As the boy proceeded to talk about today's classes, a mildly sympathetic expression formed on the redhead's face. Oh, yes, the superficial introductions some professors required upon seeing a new face. Even though she had no trouble with public speaking, standing up in front of her peers and trying to talk about herself succinctly yet captivatingly had been uncomfortable. "I suspect some of the Professors wanted to kill a few minutes of the class, making you fill the time. It cannot be that sensible adults believe they are helping break the ice by forcing such introductions." Or perhaps they did, which was even worse than them being lazy to the point of malice towards a newcomer.
She exhaled, not quite forcefully enough to make it a sigh. Julian's ironic comment on the welcoming nature of their housemates brought them to one of the conversation points she had planned to reach. It was a major one, even if the boy didn't seem to mind the lack of interactions with other Slytherins. "This is not the most amiable of houses, I must admit. A lot of us here come from prominent families, politics has been part of our lives since before we started our schooling. Approaching someone new is, well, a risk. You have not been assessed yet, nobody knows what to expect of you. Perhaps crossing you would cause trouble in the future, if your family is influential. Alternatively, perhaps you are a blood traitor and associating with you will harm others' reputation. Everyone seems to be waiting to see who you befriend." She had no doubt that people were watching them even now, waiting to see how the new boy's chat with a moderately popular pureblood girl would go. Maeve kept her voice low enough so the conversation wouldn't be overheard, but body language was not easily masked. "Some have probably sent letters to their parents, asking what they know of Mulciber. Eventually, others will approach you - once they think they have the measure of you." Maeve had not waited for that to happen, back when she transferred. She was the one approaching others, catching them off guard before they could figure out how best to deal with her. That required an outgoing nature and a willingness - if not desire - to socialize, however. It didn't seem like Julian was inclined to dive into forming new connections nearly as aggressively as she had.
He did have a Slytherin mindset, though, she could tell it by the way he spoke of his dormmates. They could prove useful. "They certainly could. Some of them, at least. Impossible though it should be, there are a few Muggleborns in our house." She blamed the Sorting Scarf for such mishaps. There had been a handful of Muggleborns sorted into Slytherin over hundreds of years, the Hat allowed it in exceptional cases. But now? Two in the Quidditch team alone, it was a disgrace. Hopefully, the mud flood would be dammed now that the Sorting Hat was returned. "One of them is your dormmate," she added, intrigued to see his reaction to this revelation.
