THE AVERY FAMILY | HP WWI ERA

➔ Cynthia Avery, Osiris Avery, Lunas Avery, Odessa Avery, Ione Avery

As a diplomat family and pureblood socialites, the Averys had an immaculate reputation in the wizarding world. However, with their kids all straying off their chosen paths, keeping it that way was more complicated than it initially seemed.

@potionboy3 Aunt Rose-Marie didn't make the cut. But maybe she does deserve a fc after all XD

Name: Odessa Lilian Avery

Family

Father: Osiris Dorian Avery - Former British Ambassador to Germany, now a British Delegate in the International Confederation of Wizards. Very traditional and strict. Can get very angry and intimidating. Expects excellence and exquisite behaviour from his children at all times. His relationship with his children is rather complicated.

fc: Thomas Kretschmann

Mother: Cynthia Avery née Silberstein - Housewife. German. Besties with Helena Enfield. Likes to gossip and is a bit judgy. Throwing lavish parties makes her happy. Always hoped for Melv and Ode to end up together and lowkey plotted things for them to get closer and interact. Loves her children dearly and really enjoys being a mother but doesn’t want to cross her husband. Was utterly shocked when Ode eloped with Kit. Was even more shocked when Melv still wanted to marry her after that.

fc: Michelle Williams

Older brother: Lunas Griffin Avery (1887) - Outwardly plagued by a resting bitch face, Lunas does have a soft side – even if it's usually overshadowed by a bit of an attitude. Due to his job as an Auror (Infiltration Specialist), he has a habit of disappearing without notice. This is one of the reasons why Ode and her brother have a complicated relationship. However, they still care deeply about each other and more often than not she finds herself worrying about his safety, despite their differences. Lunas, in turn, is constantly torn between the wish to protect Ode and the urge to please his father. He, indeed, is his father's favourite but the fondness is not mutual and despite Ode's 'scandalous' elopement, he still kept in touch with her after it.

fc: Volker Bruch

Younger sister: Ione Lumina Avery (1893) - Precious Ione had always been scared of their father. She preferred to keep her nose buried in a book, as it helped block out her surroundings. Even if she admired her sister Odessa for her uprightness, she much rather preferred to stay quiet about most matters. Gifted with a big imagination she liked to escape the world with art.

fc: Saskia Rosendahl

Backstory

Born into a strict pure-blood family, Ode was raised to be a perfect, obedient girl. Her temper and wits, however, were not to be easily controlled. From a young age, she started questioning her family's values and behaviour, often getting scolded for her 'too lenient' yet 'rebellious' nature.

This, especially, showed when her best friend, Kit, was announced to lack magical abilities. Despite her parents believing it to be shameful and forbidding her from any contact with him, the two kids would sneak out to meet each other regardless. Merlin forbid, she would not abandon her best friend.

The disdain for her family grew bigger with each year that passed yet she still tried to keep up the facade in social situations. Desperate to get away and seek independence, she applied for a job at the Daily Prophet after graduating from Hogwarts and quickly found her calling in investigative journalism. She'd occasionally dabble in activism for squib and women's rights, sometimes, even getting in trouble because of it. Luckily, her childhood 'friend', Melv would always bail her out. To her surprise, they sometimes found themselves working together, even landing them on the front page of the newspapers once.

At the age of twenty, she decided to move to London—mainly to put a good amount of distance between her and her parents. Little did she know she'd run into her childhood friend Kit there after years of scarce contact. Despite her wrath about him not writing as often as she would've liked, they quickly rekindled their relationship and got married a few months after – twins soon followed.

Wand: Beech Wood, Pheonix Core, 13 1/2” Length, Slightly Yielding Flexibility

➔ The true match for a beech wand will be, if young, wise beyond his or her years, and if full-grown, rich in understanding and experience. Beech wands perform very weakly for the narrow-minded and intolerant. Such wizards and witches, having obtained a beech wand without having been suitably matched (yet coveting this most desirable, richly hued and highly prized wand wood), have often presented themselves at the homes of learned wandmakers such as myself, demanding to know the reason for their handsome wand’s lack of power. When properly matched, the beech wand is capable of a subtlety and artistry rarely seen in any other wood, hence its lustrous reputation.

Personality & Attitude

Personality: Ode is energetic yet mild-mannered. She has strong believes and is quick to speak her mind and stick up for others – and often gets in trouble because of it. Despite her fiery temperament, Ode values kindness and integrity above anything else and certainly knows how to charm people. When her curiosity takes over, she often finds herself in precarious situations, yet she usually finds a way out of it, with or without the help of others.

Ode is incredibly confident, courageous and touchingly earnest yet not afraid of vulnerability. Although her conviction is strong enough to help her bounce back from setbacks and criticism, it’s impossible for her to hide her pain, bewilderment and disappointment. She can both aggravate people and win them over with ease, usually both at the same time.

Ode simply loves to absorb herself in her personal goals, fearing that if she allows others to distract her from her vision, she might never attain it.

Strengths: open-minded, empathetic, good with words/convincing, fiercely charming, observant

Weaknesses: emotional, sometimes too honest, stubborn

Stressors: mistreatment of others, her family, Mystie, injustice, big/heavy doors (has a hard time opening them)

Comfort: books, Kit/Melv, an interesting conversation, dancing, sitting by the window with a warm cup of tea, dipping her feet into water (/running along the shoreline)

Priorities: shaping a better world for everyone, honesty, kindness, her children, her siblings, Kit and later Melv

Favourites

Colours: autumn colours

Food: White Nougat (nothing makes her happier XD) and Everlasting Syllabub

Drink: Chamomile tea

Flowers: Iris, Chamomile

Books: Anne of the Island; basically anything political and challenging the status-quo

Weather: sunny and warm, preferably with clouds to watch

Hobbies: reading, chess, discussing political issues, activism, researching/gathering information, writing

Style: normal upper/middle-class attire; does like to wear pants and look ‘business’ (le cool chic, if ya know what I mean)

Most valued possessions: Kit's not-too-frequent letters, more tbd

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest:

Christopher 'Kit' Enfiled @potionboy3 - Ode has had feelings for Kit since they were children yet Kit only started returning them after his break from serving at the front lines. After his return, the two quickly rekindled their relationship and got married a few months after—much to her family's dismay. Her family which believed him to be below her status (for being a Squib) was quick to abandon her because of it. Little did she know that Kit's heart belonged to someone else and would soon die a tragic death.

Melvyn 'Melv' Enfield @potionboy3 - Melv is Kit's older brother and has been in love with Ode since their childhood. Unfortunately, she only seemed to have eyes for his younger brother. Despite their differences and frequent arguing, they made a good team. And, for some reason, Melv was always there when she needed him. Even if she hated to admit it, she was glad he was around.

The two got closer after Kit's death as Melv offered her support when she most needed it and it quickly resulted in growing feelings and happy marriage.

Friends: Open for friendships :)

Joel Mayfair @magicallymalted - Fellow (younger) Gryffindor. Relationship to be determined. They, at least, know of each other lmao

Rivals:

Mysteria ‘Mystie’ Charmworth - Mystie and Ode used to be best friends until Mystie broke off their friendship. Jealous of Ode and Melv’s feelings for her she makes life for both a living hell.

Oaklan 'Oak' Christopher Enfield - Kit and Ode’s son and Otie’s twin. More tbd. fc: Dylan Arnold

fc: Michelle Williams

Younger sister: Odessa Lilian Avery (1889) - Odessa had always been the most rebellious of the bunch. Even if Lunas adored her for it, he sometimes wished she'd listen to their father more. Using his 'favourite son' privilege he tried his best to soften the blows Odessa would face as a consequence of her behaviour. He, constantly, was walking a tightrope between wishing to protect her and pleasing his father which is why their relationship remained complicated but nonetheless loving. Even if his father despised her for eloping with that 'useless squib boy' he still kept in touch with her after it.

Youngest sister: Ione Lumina Avery (1893) - Precious Ione had always been scared of their father. She preferred to keep her nose buried in a book, as it helped block out her surroundings. Even if she admired her sister Odessa for her uprightness, she much rather preferred to stay quiet about most matters. Gifted with a big imagination she liked to escape the world with art.

fc: Saskia Rosendahl (or Freya Tingley?)

Backstory

As the firstborn son of a pure-blood family, Lunas has always felt pressured to meet society's and his family's expectations. Raised in the iron fist of his father, he became a well-accomplished young man with a slight attitude yet a secretly soft heart.

Growing up in Doncaster, and with a Muggle RFC base nearby, he found joy in watching the first test flights and admiring the soldiers from afar. His fascination with aeroplanes ultimately prompted him to join the military and become one of the first (fighter) pilots once he graduated from Hogwarts—much to his father’s dismay. Although fairly talented at it, he eventually gave in to the pressure his father was inflicting on him and pursued a different career at the Ministry. What his father didn't know is that Lunas somehow found a way to keep up his duty in the army while receiving training in aviation. His talent to charm people into giving him information would come in handy there, quickly making him a valuable asset to the Auror Office.

During his years of working his way up in the Ministry, he has been in many precarious situations. Yet one incident, in particular, shook him to the core. On one mission, he was hunting down a particularly dangerous Dark wizard. Unfortunately, when he tried to hit him with a spell, he hit his fellow colleague instead. The poor sod fell off the roof and to his death. To this day, it is beyond him why his working buddy didn't try to disapparate or stop the fall but that's beside the point. Scared of the consequences, he blamed it on the Dark wizard who was able to escape. Admittedly, not his finest hour.

A few years later, at the brink of WWI, Lunas was tasked to keep an eye on the German Ministry of Magic as it seemed to take the ‘no-wizard-involvement’ pact rather loosely. Making sure the German wizards didn’t manipulate the war in their favour, he posed as a German Airforce Captain and infiltrated the German muggle military to keep an eye on wizard activities. This, however, should only be a very short endeavour as much more pressing matters were coming up back home in England.

Dark wizards, threatening to take down the Ministry, were quickly gaining followers. Luckily, Lunas had already established a secure standing within their ranks as this had been brooding for quite a while. Little did he know that Ren Godfrey, the Dark WIzard whom he had encountered on the said roof before, would join them. Ren knew who Lunas was and about his slip-ups in the past. He had no qualms about using this information as leverage against him, making Lunas his little minion.

Will Lunas find a way out of this mess? Hopefully.

Clubs: Duelling Club

Wand: Blackthorn Wood, Pheonix Core, 13 1/2” Length, Slightly Yielding Flexibility

➔ Blackthorn, which is a very unusual wand wood, has the reputation, in my view well-merited, of being best suited to a warrior. This does not necessarily mean that its owner practises the Dark Arts (although it is undeniable that those who do so will enjoy the blackthorn wand’s prodigious power); one finds blackthorn wands among the Aurors as well as among the denizens of Azkaban. It is a curious feature of the blackthorn bush, which sports wicked thorns, that it produces its sweetest berries after the hardest frosts, and the wands made from this wood appear to need to pass through danger or hardship with their owners to become truly bonded. Given this condition, the blackthorn wand will become as loyal and faithful a servant as one could wish.

Important Events

1913-onward: Establishes a standing with the brooding Dark wizards' movement 1914-1916: Infiltrates the German Muggle Army to keep an eye on wizard activities (poses as an Airforce Captain); also keeps an eye on the other involved war parties

Personality & Attitude

Personality: Lunas is aware of his talents and wants to share them with the world. Although somewhat cautious, he's an adventurous soul and is brave about the choices he makes in life.

His inner stability, confidence, and practicality combine to make his progress in life very smooth. People often turn to him for advice, as his advice is always reasonable and well thought out.

He has a sharp, analytical, and penetrating mind. His attention to detail, exactness, and overall fussiness help to put his plans into action.

Unlike his sister, it’s not easy to ruffle his feathers. Even if there are obstacles he will easily transcend them through sheer determination and willpower. As his life usually runs quite smoothly he has adopted some sort of a smug outlook.

Lunas prefers his surroundings to be highly active and stimulating, for in a passive or tranquil environment he can become lethargic. He functions best where the competition is intense and the responsibility is great. Eloquent and highly persuasive, his words are always measured to produce an effect and he just loves to tease his friends and loved ones.

Strengths: charming/silver tongue, observant, fast learner, adaptable, stealthy, witty, responsible

Weaknesses: always looking for a new challenge (wants to prove himself), represses his emotions a lot (it might not be healthy)

Stressors: dark wizards, getting blackmailed, his father, having to do questionable things to keep up his cover (it gets easier over time)

Comfort: having a smoke, having a drink, indulging/having a good time, stimulating conversation

Priorities: proving himself and his capability, not getting caught

Favourites

Colours: anything as long as it's dark but probably dark brown

Food: he's pretty undemanding when it comes to food, as long as it tastes good it's fine

Drink: a well-aged bourbon

Flowers: anything that makes the woman he desires happy, maybe daisies (but shhhh)

Books: newspapers, secret documents that he definitely wasn't supposed to see

Weather: clear skies, not too windy

Hobbies: learning languages, flying (aeroplanes and brooms), aeroplanes in general, snooping around, chatting with people, travelling, going out/having a drink

Style: normal upper/middle-class attire

His most valued possessions: his military insignias, the wristwatch his father gave him for graduating from Hogwarts with excellent grades

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: Leda Gaunt @gaygryffindorgal - tbd

Best friend: Alexej Kavinsky @potionboy3 - tbd

Friends: Open for friendships if you're interested :)

Melvyn 'Melv' Enfield @potionboy3 - Childhood friend and colleague. Never understood why Melv never made a move on his sister Ode, as he very clearly seemed to have feelings for her.

Rivals:

Ares Gaunt @gaygryffindorgal - Ex-rivals at school, now colleagues? The relationship is yet to be determined.

Kit Enfield @potionboy3 - Lunas never really liked Kit as he thought him to have a bad influence on Odessa. Maybe his parent's views influenced this just a little bit.

Enemies:

Ren Godfrey / T.O.W.E.R @potionboy3 - Lunas and Ren have had a few run-ins with each other – all of which haven't ended well. When Ren joins the Dark wizard group that Lunas has been tasked to observe, he's quick to blackmail Lunas into working for him.
