Hello fabulous people. Stars here, bringing you the delightful Padma Patil. To sum her history up quickly:
Came from a really strict household - her father was a former British informant during the Indian revolution, and places a lot of value on class over blood purity. She rebelled against her father while at Hogwarts, largely in part due to her crush on Ron Weasley, even if he is a git with the emotional range of a teaspoon. She and Parvati are pureblood and were thus forced to attend their seventh year, though their father wanted to pull them out of the school. She fought in the Battle of Hogwarts, didn't sustain any major injuries. When her father came to pick her up after he had access to the school again, she defied him and stayed, and then, in a really big act of defiance to her parents, cut off all her long, curly, luscious black locks. Did well enough on her NEWTs to apply for a job at the Ministry, they redirected her to the Dept of Mysteries, where she works as an Unspeakable. All she can tell you about that is that she works with trying to understand how prophecies are made. She lives in the London area in a flat she shares with her cat Shadow, and Mandy. And right now she's resisting her mother's attempts to set her up on dates with 'mother approved' men.
She's a lot quieter than her sister, and doesn't buy in to all the Divination stuff that her sister does, but the two are still very close. She doesn't let a lot of people in, and many find her cold and unapproachable, though once you're friends, she does warm up. She's a very blunt way of speaking and she doesn't like small talk. But she is very nice and kind and sweet once you get past that. She cares nothing for blood - or class - but again, she was raised in a strict household that favoured class over blood, so her family probably knows most all the purebloods, but if you're a half-blood with high fortune or something, Padma's family very likely knows you as well.
I think that's about it - her information can be found
here and she needs some friends, exes, love interests, etc.
