trying to relax by writing some tomarry except i think about the political system and economy of the wizarding world for more than three seconds and start spiraling and have no option but to open a new googledoc and start writing the lamest rant-thesis about fictional politics ever.

hello hello its me bee, bringing you my Trash Daughter !!!! ngl .... it has been Ages since i’ve played an oc but ik this rp is really lovely and accepting when it comes to ocs so !! i’m giving it a spin bear with me while i figure her out 

PHILIPPINE STINDEL —— Well, if it isn’t OLIVIA BAXTER, the RAVENCLAW superstar. For those of you who don’t know HER, you can spot them sitting with the other SEVENTH years. Most people think that they’re CREATIVE and FACETIOUS, but they can also seem pretty CYNICAL and AIMLESS. Sometimes people call them the LAYABOUT. Sure, they’re a HALFBLOOD, but that doesn’t define them. 

pinterest !! 

first off, nobody calls her olivia except for her mother. ollie, bax, and baxter are all pretty common nicknames

ollie grew up without a lot of money -- she was born to a muggle mother who worked at the local grocery store and a wizard father who bailed on them when ollie was six 

she and her mother don’t get along very well --- ollie absolutely adored her father when she was little and when he left, she blamed her mother

it didn’t help that her mother was hardly ever home, always working nights and overtime shifts to provide for her family now that she was the only one doing so

of course, now ollie understands it isn’t her mother’s fault, but there’s still a rift between them that can’t easily be fixed

she grew up roughhousing with the neighbourhood boys, sneaking cigarettes in the mcdonalds parking lot and skinning her knees trying to skateboard

she went to a school full of kids like hers --- born to single parent working class families, with little ambition or regard for rules

the teachers were underpaid and overworked, and didn’t have high expectations for their students

so ollie never tried cause she never thought she’d be anything great. she skipped class to hang out down by the old train tracks (much to her mother’s chagrin) and mouthed off when she was there

ollie knew she was a witch --- she’d seen her father doing magic when she was young and although she longed to do that someday, it still kind of came as a surprise when her hogwarts letter came

it was so far from what her life had been so far, so out of the ordinary when she was as ordinary as they came 

it was an even bigger surprise when she was sorted into ravenclaw cause she’d never been the Smart Kid, and she didn’t understand why the hat thought ravenclaw would suit her

she was surrounded by kids who loved school and who’d always loved school and who strove to do well, and tbh she just didn’t want to compete with them so she never tried 

she’d rather not try than try and fail 

so you may be asking why is she sorted into ravenclaw?? WELL ya girl loves art

she doesn’t really think of it as a talent or a calling or anything like that because she doesn’t think it can be used for anything useful but she’s been drawing and sketching and painting ever since she was young

does little cartoons and doodles in class instead of taking notes

as for personality:

ollie is pretty aimless and apathetic most of the time bc she just never thought it would make a difference if she actually tried for once 

lives in the moment rather than thinking about the future

she can be pretty snarky sometimes but like never in a too mean spirited way

she’s v realistic and down to earth to a point where it’s almost cynical --- like she thinks her own talents for art are useless bc they won’t make her a lot of money

tells it like it is

stubborn as fuck 

doesn’t like change

not a lot of people realize this but she’s pretty empathetic ?? like she comes across as uncaring and blasé but she can also be really soft esp around kids 

wanted connections:

squad: idk people who also slack off and skip class and get high behind the greenhouses?? but also she’d genuinely be fond of these people & dead loyal to them

someone who’s trying to get her to shape up? idk lmao

a friend who actually isnt a fuck up and ollie’s rly protective over them and doesnt want to be a bad influence on them lol

enemies!!! people who just rub her the wrong way, or people who have an issue with her blood status, i dont care

a skinny love connection where they’ve been friends for ages and trust each other with everything and yknow pretend not to be jealous when the other gets a new partner? that pls

honestly anything idk we can brainstorm if none of these fit

just plot w me
