Introduction: Ophelia Nott
Hello everyone, again! This is Silyara with Ophelia Nott, sister of Jonathan Nott, cousin of the MacDougals.
When she came to Hogwarts, Ophelia did not know how to socialize very well with strangers. She knew her family but hadn't learned social conventions others were used to. As such, she came off as strange to people, especially when combined with her excellent memory and nerdy love of history. Jon is her role model for socialization (yes, laugh all you want!), and it's with his encouragement that she tried to be social. Ophelia is not particularly outgoing, unless someone shares an interest with her. Her profile is here.
5 Things EVERYONE Knows About Me
1. I love history and the culture from it - from clothes to plays. Shakespeare references happen regularly. I both wear and sew dresses, as historically accurate as possible.
2. My memory is excellent, which sometimes people find uncanny. It does not mean I remember everything, as brilliant as that would be. But I do know all the school rules and quidditch rules.
3. I was born in Canberra, Australia and lived there for the first three years of my life. I still speak with a British accent.
4. I prefer morning classes to later ones, which certainly didn't help with Astronomy. This year all my classes, besides the Multicultural Class, are in the morning.
5. I have the same breakfast every morning. Two pieces of toast with bacon on them. Orange juice (two glasses).
5 Things MY FRIENDS Know About Me
1. Although I have an incredible memory, I have not simply memorized my way through my classes. It has helped me excel, but I am excellent with a wand in most subjects. That said, I am not the best student, and I do give more time to some classes than others.
2. I love discussing 'what if' situations in history. Most often, these discussions are with my brother, as he loves history as much as I do, but I am happy to discuss it with anyone.
3. I am horrible with boys I like. I don't know how to talk to them, which usually results in talking about Romeo and Juliet or another Shakespeare play.
4. I enjoy going for walks out on the grounds - not runs, not quidditch, just walks. And all my friends who've gone on walks with me at home know I love walking on the railings of bridges.
5. Sometimes I still need social protocol explained to me. I didn't learn them as a child, growing up with my siblings and cousins.
5 Things NO ONE Knows About Me
1. I want to find my Hamlet and for us to have a happier ending than Hamlet and Ophelia in Hamlet. But it's not a first priority.
2. I love my mother's office and her research, but I don't know what I would like to do as a career. I want to do more than research the past. I want whatever I do to affect the present. As such, I don't think I want to become a historian.
3. The first type of spells I went out of my way to learn were those to loosen and remove clothing. And I still know more than the most randy teenage bloke most likely. However, that is because I nearly drowned when I was a girl. Uncontrolled magic saved my life, but I want to make sure I won't drown again (I am also a strong swimmer).
4. I repeat what I know about a subject to myself when I get nervous for an exam, either in my head or under my breath. If I cannot remember something, I have to find it immediately or I think I'm going to fail.
5. I think of lying as willful ignorance because it uses up energy, memory, and more on something not helpful in any way. I love creativity - plays, stories, etc - but those aren't lies.
She would love to have a best friend or two among the Ravenclaw 5th year girls (or boys): Gee, Catie, Sinclair, Rose, Ian, Eli, and Mal! Also, since there are a few characters of the nerdy sort who love either history, Tolkein, etc, Ophelia would love to have either joined or started a group that involves dressing up! She does so any way, and she'd be happy to include cosplay/LARPing of both fictional and historical sorts!
I would also loves some past crushes, who were likely oblivious to her liking them. And there are also people she probably put off upon first meeting and wouldn't necessarily get along! Plots plots plots!
And to all the new characters, Lysander Scamander {lycopsida} and Audrey Hooper {babycheeks} also want your plots.
