[harbinger-0f-spring]

For the past month I've been working with @konstantynowitz in making family trees for our original characters within the hp universe. As of late, we've gotten pretty far in the development of the families working together. I'd already said in a post I made this afternoon that I have been assigned the Rosier branch of this tree and intend to expand on it the best I can. This collaboration will definitely not be a fast process, but in time we hope to complete the entirety of this tree and fill in a couple blanks for you guys to get the full picture of what Konstantyn and I have created together. Right now, there are a few missing pieces within the Rosier branch, but in the next few weeks I plan to complete it. In this tree, I've added a few new ocs into the family. I will go over a few names with you in this post, as well as give you a glimpse into the tree itself.

From the sneak peak Konstantyn had posted recently about the English branch of the Lestrange family, some of you might've already seen part of the Black family's side of the tree. Let's just say that the Blacks will be the last tree Konstantyn and I work on together as it has the most members, but right now my main focus will be on the Rosiers, which are featured on the right side of the tree.

The Rosiers were a wealthy and influential pure-blood family and allies of Grindelwald from the late 1920s to the late 1940s. At the top of the family tree are Eglantine Rosier (née Volant) and Laurent Rosier, both loyal acolytes of Gellert Grindelwald. Eglantine and Laurent are the parents of Druella Black (née Rosier) and Étienne Rosier, who is Konstantyn's version of Rosier Sr., a classmate of Tom Riddle. In addition to Druella and Étienne, I have created my own Rosier sibling, Céléase, who is the youngest of the bunch.

Here are the children's birth dates in order:

Étienne Rosier - b. 1926

Druella Rosier - b. 1932

Céléase Rosier - b. 1934

Laurent Rosier was born in France within the year 1903 and was the younger brother of Vinda Rosier, Grindelwald's most faithful servant. Around the 1930s, Laurent was imprisoned by the French Ministry when he was found guilty of financially supporting Grindelwald and his Alliance. By 1936, he was released with the support of many prominent pure-blood socialites who were either close acquaintances of Rosier, or close friends that all shared in his ideals. The charges against Laurent were dropped and shortly after this incident he moved his family to Great Britain.

If you'd like to know more about Laurent's involvement with Grindelwald and his followers then you can pop into the inbox of @konstantynowitz since he is their oc.

There are a few blanks regarding the earlier members of the Rosier family, which is something I am going to be working on later. As of now, I don't have names for the parents of Eglantine Volant or her husband. In spite of this, I have made progress on Eglantine's maternal line which consists of the noble Trefle-Picques family that hold a French Dukedom within their bloodline, and the Escoffier-Floquent family (a wizarding family of my own making).

I have nothing much else to share about the Rosier family itself, but I have been branching off a bit into the French side of the Lestrange family and have connected both lines through Minette Rosier. In this tree, I've made Minette the great-great-aunt of Vinda and Laurent, which would make their father (who is currently unnamed) third cousins with Leta Lestrange.

I know that it’s still a little bare, but I am going to keep working on building it up and will post updates with @konstantynowitz so that we can show the progress we are making with all of this. I would understand if some people may still have questions because not everything that I’ve introduced about the Rosiers was explained in this post. I’m open to hear anyone’s thoughts or questions about anything so feel free to message me anytime.

Mathilde Rosier (née Ollivier)

Mathilde Ollivier was born in 1943 in Paris, France, to an upper middle class pure-blood family. Growing up, she was quite sheltered, being kept away from the more liberal views of society at the time, having been raised in a conservative environment.

She was tutored at home by a governess in the early years of her education. Mathilde’s lessons mostly consisted of proper etiquette for young ladies and the values of refinement, which were deeply ingrained in her upbringing.

The young girl was also immersed in the arts and would take piano lessons from a personal instructor. Mathilde’s mother often took pride in her daughter’s proficiency in playing piano, seeing it as a marker of sophistication that would make her more desirable to potential suitors.

Mathilde’s parents instilled one singular prospect: to find a suitable husband and secure her place in society. She spent childhood envisioning herself in a grand life, adorned in beautiful gowns, hosting lavish gatherings, and having a handsome, charming husband that made her the center of his world.

In 1954, Mathilde’s parents enrolled her at Beauxbatons Academy of Magic, hoping that the prestigious institution would not only hone her magical talents, but also introduce her to eligible young wizards from influential families, further securing her future in high society.

During her schooling, she pursued her passion in the arts, particularly music and dance. Mathilde became fond of ballet and often performed in theatre productions, showcasing her talent and poise on stage.

She quickly earned a name for herself, especially once she graduated from Beauxbatons. Mathilde was very popular amongst French nobility, obtaining many lead roles that not only highlighted her skill but also drew the attention of influential pure-blood families.

One of these families were the Rosiers, who had heard about the talented ballerina all the way from England. Laurent and Eglantine Rosier were informed that Mathilde would make a promising bride for their son Étienne, who, at thirty-five, had yet to marry.

The Olliviers were quick to accept the marriage proposal and prepared for their first meeting with the Rosier family soon after.

Before Mathilde’s formal introduction to her betrothed, she was to perform for him and his family, which would give Étienne a chance to see her in a more captivating light and hopefully allure him.

From the beginning, Mathilde was eager to please Rosier, as she longed to impress her future husband and gain his approval. She was a naive girl who didn’t fully understand the complexities of love and marriage.

Her youthful optimism blinded her to the deeper aspects at play, leading her to overlook the intended purpose of the union between her and Étienne Rosier.

Laurent and Eglantine were completely enamored by the girl, finding her absolutely charming and the perfect match for their son.

Étienne on the other hand, seemed to be somewhat disinterested by the whole thing. Of course for appearances, he kept his attention on the stage, watching as Mathilde delivered her performance with an enchanting fervor.

He appeared physically there, but mentally and emotionally, Rosier was detached from everything that was going on around him.

Étienne’s thoughts were consumed by the pressures of his own life and the role he was expected to play. He didn’t want to marry Mathilde, but he knew he had a duty to his family to provide an heir for the bloodline.

The wedding took place a mere few weeks later after Mathilde was brought to England. She didn’t know much English at the time, her family having intended for her to marry a Frenchman and remain within her home country, and so everything was foreign to her in the beginning.

Mathilde was only eighteen when she was to marry Étienne Rosier, while her betrothed was seventeen years her senior. In the eyes of her in-laws, she was only just a child who did not yet know what she was getting into, a naive and inexperienced girl who needed guidance and control.

They viewed her youth as a liability, a sign of vulnerability that made her susceptible to the manipulations of her new family. Eglantine and Laurent knew that they needed to expose their daughter-in-law to the reality of the new world she was brought into.

Étienne stifled her spirit and broke her, exposing her to the system her parents had willingly given her to. Mathilde would soon open her eyes to the fact that she was just a pawn in someone else’s game.

He didn’t care for Mathilde, using her only to produce heirs for the family. By 1963, the couple welcomed their first son Evan and word got out that a male heir for the Rosier family had been produced.

Everyone took comfort in the fact that within her first year of marriage to Étienne, she had already proved herself capable of providing her husband an heir.

The birth of her son earned her the acceptance of her new family, for now she was tied to them by blood and through the respect she gained by giving birth to a son.

Shortly after Evan’s birth, Mathilde suffered from postpartum depression, making it difficult to connect with her newborn. She was overwhelmed by the pressures brought upon her by her in-laws who remained cold and distant, not providing her with the comfort or familial connection she longed for.

For a while she isolated herself, finding the presence of her husband and his family daunting at times when she found herself becoming clouded by the dark fog that overtook her mind.

They saw her as being too emotional and sensitive, their attitude towards Mathilde’s mental health being unfeeling. Some even thought she was seeking attention, accusing her of being a spoiled little girl, dismissing her pain as mere dramatics.

Étienne’s lack of attentiveness began taking its toll on her and she began to realize that her husband truly didn’t care about her. She tried her hardest to find common ground with him, even taking the time to learn some of his hobbies and interests.

He did not seem to appreciate her efforts, though. Instead preferring to ignore his wife’s attempt at connection, deepening the strain on his marriage which darkened his home and the childhood of his firstborn.

Mathilde was pitied upon by Druella, who saw the spark within her sister-in-law fade overtime during the years Mathilde remained married to Étienne.

Ella knew that this wasn’t the life Mathilde had wanted for herself; she remembered the vibrant young girl who once dreamed of a fulfilling life with a loving husband. Now her sister-in-law was slowly becoming a shadow of her former self, trapped in a stifling existence.

In 1971, Mathilde had her second son Felix, but there were slight complications during the birth her baby, which would later cause her to fall vulnerable to illness. As a result, she spent weeks on bedrest, trying to recover, and while her health did slightly improve, it declined quickly once more and her life would come to an abrupt end shortly afterwards.

Étienne did not seem that much affected by the sudden death of his wife, and with her absence, he was left alone with Evan and Felix to raise on his own. Although in spite of being the only parent left for his sons, he distanced himself from them and treated them with contempt and indifference.

What does Pérusse mean?

It comes from the French word percer, which means "to pierce" or "to penetrate".

[frcmbelow]

etiénne sighed, his gaze finally falling on his brother. "i didn't mean that as a dig at you, fèlix. i don't even want to exist half the time, so avoiding contact with people is my own twisted way of letting myself believe that i don't exist. but i like spending time with you, okay? it's not an obligation or a necessity, it's a pleasure. even if i don't always act like it is."

Fèlix paused for a moment before shaking his head. "No; it's not." He was doing his best not to sound hurt. "If you want to, you can. I'm not going to hold it against you or anything." He let out a soft chuckle. "You just gotta make sure to have a variety. Not everyone likes chocolate, shockingly."

I cannot support All the Light We Cannot See on Netflix enough.

Both actresses who play Marie, the blind girl, are in fact blind.

Its so dramatic but pure. Werner, the boy soldier who was forced into service, is so sweet. He even protects Marie when she needed him (and opened a can of peaches for her)

The father is played the The Hulk and makes a perfect father. He makes the cities they live in accessible to Marie. He even calls her blindness a blessing and not a curse.

Great Uncle Etienne is played by House and is a strong character who helps shape the children into the caring and loving people the world needs.

The Germans are actually played by Germans accept for that one english guy and Felix. Technically Felix is Austrian.

I just wish Felix Kammerer had a bigger part.

i love felix... idk if i said it enough already... thank you for answering!! have this in exchange!!

etienne is really introverted (not in a shy way but in an apathetic way) and distant on a personnal level but considering his best friend is a monologuing egomaniac, i'm sure he'd grow fond of felix being talkative of his interests!! he loves being the one who doesn't have to talk and just to be supportive.

and on a professional level he's all about medicine so he'd 100% help felix with his studies, debate with him, even tutor him if needed and all that stuff!! but when being in a professional mindset, he may become a bit too serious and somewhat uncaring...

anyways i'm sure they could entertain a nice relationship <3

sorry to be so felixpilled but i'm thinking about blorbos (my oc I. E. Plaureur (aka Étienne) and felix) interacting since etienne is a doctor and felix a nurse-to-be...

so i was wondering!! how does felix behave socially? how does he react upon meeting new people? and how does he treat fellow medical professionals? (i love felix)

hmmm i havent thought as much about this sort of thing since his world kind of revolves around the other characters (thus ive only fleshed out his interactions with them, which are all very cartoonish and personal and exaggerated since its just his close friends and family. eheh).

i thinkk normally with strangers hes pretty chill. a little awkward and cringe (he lacks self awareness) but he still connects with people hes pretty likable. hes very caught up in his own interests but i think hes still pretty extroverted. anyways because of that i think hed try a little harder to be extra normal (thus, overcompensates, still coming off a little strange) around other medical people because he is genuinely very interested in what they do and in making a good impression. i think as a result though hes like. accidentally manipulative lmao. not in an evil conniving way hes just vaguely aware of the idea that saying certain things will bring him towards a desired outcome

anyways that so so so awesome you should tell me about étienne......

[harbinger-0f-spring]

Here is a continuation of the family tree collaboration project with @konstantynowitz. Originally, my main focus was on the Rosier family, but before we get into that side of the tree, I'm going to introduce you to earlier generations of the Volants. I have been connected to the French branch of the Lestrange family through a Volant ancestor, and this might be a long shot, but just bear with me. Benouét Volant was born in 1794 as the nephew of Jodelle Lestrange (née Volant) who married Floxel Lestrange. In the year 1782, Jodelle had one daughter with her husband: Quintilla Lestrange, the mother of Nozéa Lestrange. Benouét was taken in by his aunt and uncle as a child when his parents died of a dragon pox outbreak. He was raised by Jodelle and Floxel, growing up alongside Quintilla as if she were his elder sister. Benouét later named his son Floxel Volant (I) in honor of his uncle.

For the time being, I do not have a name for Benouét's spouse, but I suspect that I'll make her a close relative of Floxel maybe through his mother Luminosa. Floxel Volant's mother may be a descendant from the Trouche family as I'm sure Benouét must've interacted with his uncle's extended family growing up, perhaps developing a close relationship with a potential bride through the Trouches.

I believe that Jodelle would have arranged for Benouét to marry a relative of her husband so that he could stay closely connected with the family. Floxel and Jodelle cared for Benouét as if he were their own child, so I think they thought that marrying him off to a Trouche was almost like an affectionate way of officially recognizing their nephew as an adoptive son of sorts.

Floxel Volant (I) was born in 1826 to Benouét Volant and his wife, his father was thirty-two at the time of his birth. Floxel remained a bachelor for the majority of his adulthood, enjoying the luxuries and privileges of his family's wealth. He was quite the lady-killer in his youth, so if he did have any children they'd be unacknowledged bastards that he never involved himself with, even if he was aware of their existence. Within the year 1870, at the age of forty-four, an unmarried Floxel impregnated his young mistress at the time, but the only difference between his current mistress and his mistresses of the past was that she also came from an influential French pure-blood family. Because of this, Floxel would be forced to marry his mistress who would later give birth to their only son Étienne Volant.

Something that needs to be acknowledged: I cannot take credit for this next half of the tree, as I had the help of @lazyreinelle when coming up with the backgrounds and names of the characters about to be mentioned. Of course, I've made a few little tweaks of my own when it comes to birth dates and certain aspects of their backstories, but really it is all thanks to the creative mind of @lazyreinelle that I was able to fill in the blanks of the tree.

Étienne Volant was born in 1870 and married Clotilde de Trefle-Picques, a seemingly mild-mannered girl, yet popular because of her family. She is betrothed off to Étienne during her penultimate year at Beauxbatons. Despite being ten years her senior, Étienne often acted like a man-child and was incredibly irresponsible. So, when it came to raising children, he would mostly never be around, goofing around in bars or sleeping with any veela he met. Clotilde had to raise her children: an elder daughter Eglantine (b. 1904), and two younger twin sons Floxel (II) and Claude (b. 1906), all by herself naturally instilling them with rather harsh views of blood purity.

In spite of his absence, Étienne was closest to his daughter Eglantine, who inherited his free-spirit, although it was much more reigned in than her father's was. Even so, she was frequently challenging authority and diving headfirst into escapades that left her mother exasperated. Clotilde always cursed her husband for passing on such a wild spirit to Eglantine, wishing instead that their daughter possessed a more measured temperament that would ease her worries and keep her out of trouble. Eglantine did not want to follow the expected societal norms for young witches of the time, nor did she wish to conform to the wishes and expectations of a future spouse, believing that her personal freedoms should be valued if she were to find herself married one day. Eglantine Volant harbored a fondness for her father, as he was the only one who could ever understand her. He never saw her as being unreasonable when voicing her standards for a hypothetical husband. Clotilde always believed that her daughter was being ridiculous when forming these ideas of a marriage of compromise, dismissing them as fanciful daydreams. Whenever Étienne was around he'd spoil his little daughter with small gifts and let her skip piano lessons or her early homeschooling to spend time "adventuring" with him on the estate's property. She grew up knowing that her father was not a dependable man, but that did not make him a bad parent to his children, at least during the times he occasionally visited them.

The Volants were deeply in debt because of Étienne's tendencies to gamble away a lot of his inheritance at the bars he frequented at. Clotilde, who came from a family who specialized in concealment charms, was able to hide the decline in the Volant's wealth by casting mirages that could make a simple lump of coal appear to be a bar of gold or some type of jewel. These charms especially helped in regard to paying off Étienne's debts, often conning the people he owed money to with his wife's illusions. Although, after a while, the charm of their fabricated wealth began to wear off and those who Étienne paid his debts to with these charmed objects would find out that they were tricked once the enchantments wore off.

As a result, one night when Étienne was drunk at a bar, he was confronted by one of the men he conned. Étienne was challenged in a magical duel by the man, but ultimately lost and was killed. This is why Clotilde was overjoyed when Eglantine got a proposal from the Rosier family, especially Laurent Rosier. The Rosiers, having already established themselves long back in France, were practically akin to wizarding nobility, matching the Blacks. Eglantine's marriage ensured that the Volants would not go bankrupt and reinstated stability within the family.

Featured at the top, is a tree which connects the Rosier family to the French branch of the Lestrange family. As I mentioned in my first post for the tree, Laurent Rosier is the great-great-nephew of Minette Rosier, making him third cousins with Leta Lestrange and her younger half-brother Corvus V. In addition to this, Laurent's father was first cousins with Fèlicule Lestrange (née Rosier), also known as F. Lestrange, the grandmother of Radolphus Lestrange II.

To give you guys a little bit more background of Clotilde Volant (née de Trefle-Picques), she was born to Adélard Duc de Trefle-Picques, a descendant of Vincent Duc de Trefle-Picques, a French nobleman and wizard active around the time of the French Revolution. Her mother was originally introduced as Faustine Escoffier-Floquet, but I changed my mind and renamed her as Touènette de Trefle-Picques (née Beaufort). There is not much I have to tell you about them right now, but soon I will post another update on this tree and hopefully by that time I'll have a little more to share on them. As for their grandsons, Eglantine's younger brothers that were created by @lazyreinelle: Floxel II and Claude Volant, I do have a bit more to share about them.

Floxel Volant II married Pascaline Volant (née Perrott), a classmate of his elder sister during her years at Beauxbatons. Floxel had a few children with Pascaline, namely their daughter Ghislaine Volant. There are a few more which I will be sharing in the near future, but right now Ghislaine is the only one who will be mentioned at the moment since the other children have more expanded and complex trees in regard to their future descendants.

Before Floxel's marriage to Pascaline, Clotilde started to be a lot more harsh with him, scrutinizing every move of his, and forcibly making him meet potential brides for him yet not allowing him to choose. The Volant heir longed to be free like his twin, Claude without any worry in the world, without someone constantly breathing down your neck. Being the older twin by five minutes was perhaps the only thing Floxel could uphold Claude over. The younger had all the other luxuries to bed, flirt with any one he liked, regardless of blood-status. As the second son, Claude was the spare and therefore didn't have as much responsibility to the family. Claude could often cross the line, becoming even worse than his father Étienne.

Claude Volant was notorious for philandering about, oftentimes bedding attractive veela ballerinas. He would later be disowned by his family for impregnating his veela mistress, leading to a bitter estrangement that would cause him to lose contact with his elder sister and twin brother.

Well, that's it for now! The next post I make will probably be more focused on the Rosier-Volant descendants, and maybe I'll give a little more insight on the Rosier family itself, especially Laurent and Vinda Rosier's parents.

Who would Renissa Lestrange marry if she wasn’t obliviated and remained loyal to Voldemort?

I’ve actually only ever thought of this a couple times back when I was first developing Renissa Lestrange. Now that I’ve almost fully fleshed out her character I would have to say that the most likely candidate would be Evan Rosier. I think that it would make sense for her to marry Evan since Rodolphus married Bellatrix, you know? It feels like a match made between the connections the Lestrange family had with the Rosiers, rather than the Black family.

So what’s up with Valère Lémieux?

Here's a little bit about his personality and background:

Valère Lémieux was born in 1941 — an heir to a very influential pure-blood family within France. He was a charming and handsome man with a magnetic personality that drew people to him, effortlessly making a name for himself within the social circles of French pure-blood society. Lémieux had quite the reputation for being a lady killer, captivating women with his suave demeanor and flirtatious banter, often leaving a trail of broken hearts in his wake. During his youth he acted quite spoiled and vain, always self-sabotaging valued relationships with his own selfishness, but beneath his reckless nature lay a complex man who struggled with the expectations bestowed upon him by his family since birth. In reality, Lémieux never learned to be humbled, for he grew up in an opulent mansion filled with luxury and privilege, where every whim was catered to and the world revolved around his desires. Valère’s parents never bothered disciplining their son, not having really played a part in the day-to-day aspects of his upbringing. 

A few little extra facts about Valère:

Céléase didn't necessarily get along with Lémieux, having thought him to be too self-absorbed and superficial. To her, he epitomized everything she despised about the elite social scene—his charm felt like a mask, hiding a lack of substance beneath.

Valère originally had planned to marry Mathilde, thinking her the prettier one in comparison to her sister. The two would often interact at social events Mathilde's parents would make her go to when she was younger, in order to scout for future husbands.

When Étienne ended up stealing the elder Ollivier sister away, Valère saw Edmée as a secondary option. The younger Ollivier sister had a crush on Lémieux ever since she was a child, but he had a tendency to play with her feelings.
