Bryony

So, having a week off is clearly dangerous because I'm presenting my fifth (and last, I swear) character: Susanna Bryony Capper. Anick, Kat and Jinx will remember her from when she was Orla Quirke, but her backstory has changed a little since then.

- For a start, she's a Capper now. The Cappers are purebloods but not purists (though Bryony's mother Iris was an Avery before she married, so...) and they're known for being eccentrically old-fashioned. Bryony's father Ephron Capper is a historian who's written books so academic characters may know the name. Bryony has some very old-fashioned manners which may seem weird to more modern types.
- Bryony was two years younger than the trio, Ravenclaw. She was in school for PoA and GoF, then got taken out of school because she has protective (read: suffocating) parents. She was back for DH because it was compulsory and then for a further two years after that. Her family made it very clear they thought Ravenclaw was Not Good Enough and Bryony was too much of a doormat to stand up for herself so she went along with it when her sister tried to force her to make friends with Slytherins instead.
- Despite a six year age difference she spent most of her life certain she'd eventually marry Marcus Flint. Characters who were at school during DH will definitely be aware of this as the Carrows made a big deal of it, alternately telling her she wasn't good enough for their nephew and excusing her from punishment because of her 'connections'. Bryony felt guilty about it, but there wasn't a lot she could do.
- Characters with any connection to the pureblood world will likely know that that engagement fell through, though they may not know exactly why.
- She's currently living with her aunt Hecuba and her cats, working as an apprentice under the artist Dean also apprenticed under.
- Oh, she's quidditch obsessed but it's a secret because it's not appropriate for a lady to attend quidditch matches (according to her mother).
- She's overweight and ashamed of it but can't seem to fix it.

In terms of future plots, Bryony needs some friends! She will be starstruck around Quidditch players! Her mother's pushing her to date so awkward arranged dinners with pureblood lads! She needs to practice her portraits, if anyone wants to be sketched or painted. She'll also be approaching the leaders of various activities (Lavender/duelling club, Vee/yoga and Ginny/dance) to ask if she can sit in on a session and sketch. Anyone who hurts her will have Marcus to deal with ;-)

Her info is here and it's somehow even longer than this post already is.
