#background

Irithel is the youngest child and only daughter from Alfred and Meyer’s marriage. Meyer left Alfred shortly after Irithel was born, because she was having an affair with another man. She has begun a new family with Theo Savalas and the Rutherfords no longer see or speak to her. Unlike her older brothers, Irithel has few memories of her mother, but still grew up loathing the woman for leaving them. This is why she refuses to use her middle name “Fleur”, which is also her mother’s middle name.

Despite her mother’s absence, Irithel was brought up quite happily by her father and brothers. She attended Primary Wizarding School since Year 1, where her favourite courses were Geography and Muggle-Wizard Connections. She spent most of her free time in the kitchen learning how to bake, or in the greenhouse taking care of her plants. Having exhibited magic at a young age, the arrival of “the letter” in the summer before her first year did not come as a surprise. She was excited to finally attend the great, mysterious, dangerous school she had heard so much about … Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Text Cut: First Year, 2102 ~ 2103 (Term 56)

The summer before her first year at Hogwarts was a busy one. She had to buy all her school supplies in Diagon Alley, which took several trips. While shopping for the dreadfully plain uniforms at Madam Malkin’s, she met Ashley Fox, who became her first school friend.

Upon arriving at Hogwarts, she was sorted into Ravenclaw as soon as the hat touched her head. School began the next day and she officially began her first year of studies. She discovered that she excelled in Herbology and Astronomy, but did not do so well in Charms and Transfiguration because she did not put in the time to practise. Meanwhile, she also participated in the extra-curricular activities of Flying, Magical Theory, Gobstones and Yearbook.

One evening, she was enjoying her dinner as usual when all the food suddenly went bad and an angry ghost by the name of Slyvester Hargraves flew through her, like ??? why????? Anyway, her friend Ashley and another student Violet Blackthorne were acting strangely, yelling at the headmaster about some treasure, so she took them to the hospital wing. Here, Irithel also showed very odd behaviour. Possessed by the angry ghost from earlier, she demanded the return of “her” treasure and destroyed a few objects in the hospital wing. When she regained control of herself, she was given a sleeping tonic. It helped her to rest well and feel refreshed afterwards, but did not drive the spirit away and her condition remained the same. She was taken over by a sudden desire to go into the Forbidden Forest. Once she got there with the other minions, she had the intense urge to set fire to the forest. This was part of Hargraves’s scheme to get Headmaster Trent’s attention. So she contributed to starting and spreading a fire in the forest. When it became clear that the conflict could not be resolved, the headmaster vanished the treasure, which caused the ghost to vanish and lose power over the students. Yay?

By the end of the school term, Irithel was back to her normal self and had received treatment for burns, smoke inhalation and other injuries that she sustained in the fire. However, she was still very much traumatised by the incident. She was determined to convince her father to let her withdraw from Hogwarts and teach herself magic at home.

#personality

Being her brothers’ only sister FAVOURITE sister, Irithel loves being the center of attention. She shows confidence in everything she does, even though she often does said things incorrectly. She is logical in decision making and does not like surrendering to her emotions. This is aided by the goals she sets for herself and the belief that she has to be ruthlessly rational in order to achieve them. Ironically, she is also a master procrastinator, so her determination is strongest the night before a task is due. Her logic, which is usually lucid, fails people when it comes to her fashion style, which she describes as “exotic” and which other people describe as “weird”. She has a growing interest in environmental protection and enjoys learning how to make a change, exemplified by her decision to become a vegan. Meanwhile, Irithel’s strained relationship with her mother has had an impact on her interpersonal skills. She tends to see the bad in people and shut them out at first, but it does not take long for her to recognise the person’s strengths and be reassured that they will stay by her side.

Likes: Her father and older brothers, attention, logic, accomplishments, plants, environment, baking, writing, debating, procrastinating, “exotic” garments, soy milk
Dislikes: Her mother, her middle name, animals that are not cute e.g. creepy-crawlies, animal products, rhetorical questions
