I felt like posting again for a couple reasons.

1. There are some valid points being made. The RP is loosely based on JK's established canon. I say loosely because, being so far in the future as compared to the books, we have some wiggle room.

2. I almost feel as if my charrie is being attacked or something. Yes, I made her a pureblood from Wales, even though she doesn't go around advertising it or anything. And as of right now, I haven't established that there are any canon characters related to her, however distantly. But, in the same respect, all Rhiannon knows is her direct family: her parents, that were killed when she was four, were pureblood. Her mother's sister married an American Muggle. Her maternal grandparents are dead and were when she was orphaned. She knows pretty much nothing about her father's lineage. And she really knows little about Wales, too, seeing as she ended up growing up in America.

Anyway, I still stand by the idea of using canon charries is fine, as long as it's in moderation. If you have your charrie as a descendant of an original canon charrie, don't use it as a reason why your charrie can do things others their age can't. Stay believable.
