okay so i'm finally getting around to throwing one of these bad boys up. this is zillah burke, 28 years old and slytherin alumni. i had her here way back when the comm first opened, but she's been re-worked quite a bit. she's still cousins to [info]evelynt, [info]elliotto, and [info]telias though. her parents are old af, her mother was in her late forties when zillah was born and most people believe she was conceived either by magic or an affair. she's an only child for now, but i've been playing with the idea of giving her an older brother, incase anyone wants to bring him in.

anyway, her father, titus burke, is in the wizengamot, getting set to retire at the end of the year, and her mother, demetra burke, is a socialite. their family is well known in the wizarding world, but what isn't well known is their ultra purist ways. other members of the wizengamot have suspected titus of purist leanings, but he's always managed to cover it up somehow. however, both of her parents despise muggles and muggleborns. zillah was raised with that type of hateful rhetoric spoken at the dinner table. her father would complain about this muggleborn or that muggleborn, declaring them incompetent and unfit to perform magic. they sided with voldemort early on but stay completely out of the limelight, never attending meetings. so instead they send zillah.

during school zillah was the type to go along with the crowd for the sake of fitting in. she was quiet and bookish for a slytherin, so she had to back it up with sass and a silver tongue. she excelled at charms, which is how she ended up as a obliviator after hogwarts. she's been with [info]allistaire since she was a teenager but only recently have they decided to get married, having put it off for so long to rebel against their insistent parents.

for lines i'm hoping we can get some kind of mini de rebellion going on. i know it seems a little far-fetched and hard to accomplish, since it would be hard for them to trust one a other, but i have ideas! since zillah's cousin is an auror (yes i'm volunteering you [info]elliotto if you want!) maybe she could go to him with her concerns and maybe one of the others could, as well? or he could catch one of them in the action somehow but instead of arresting him or her he helps them? then we could start a small group which could help the oop at great and personal risk(?)

but she needs other lines, too! people she went to school with, people who know her awesome extended family, friends, foes, frenemies, maybe an ex from before she finally settled down. anything, really!

tl;dr: gimme lines, please

so i've been trying to take a step back all day because i spent way too much time focusing on this game/the computer yesterday so apologies as this will be brief! i'll be around a bit more tomorrow evening for sure. anyway, he's technically part of the ootp as well but he would certainly be interested in giving her/the other rebels a hand. i think having him catch one of them and offering to help as a result might be the most interesting angle! though, if zillah and someone came to him to ask for advice and training in fighting against the dark arts, he'd be ALL for that. he has a lot going on right now with giving a hand to the order, his job, and other things people have asked of him BUT i am super interested in this movement of mini de rebels that i can see him eventually diving in head first to help.

yes! i was hoping you would be! i'm thinking she'd probably go to elliott with her concerns about what's been going and her fears about being carted off to azkaban. she's definitely not cut out for this de business and neither is allistaire, so they'll need help for sure. and maybe elliott can catch one of the other rebels and he can help them and hook them up with zillah and allistaire and rebellion can begin! 🇬🇧

i don't know what you could do with her and conor, mostly because he is loyal first and foremost to himself, so if she wanted out of the cause he'd be like "lol your loss"

well her feelings on the matter are strictly need to know and he definitely wouldn't need to know. so as far as conor was concerned, she's a loyal follower.

oh he also murdered a burke, it could have been a cousin or an uncle of hers?

we could say cousin! was it for a lady love or because he's murder-happy?

i feel like zillah and lucretzia would have made great friends at hogwarts despite their slight age difference being both quiet and bookish, which would be perfect as lucretzia would be a possible future recruit for this de rebellion. elliot was a close friend of hers from school and elias her ex-fiancé, so they would have reason to be close as well!

she's a greengrass! i was going to say zillah is a greengrass on her mother's side, so we could even say they were cousins if you were up for it? that would give them a much deeper connection, that way when/if she wanted to rebel, it would be easier for her and they'd be able to trust each other easier.

and since elias is her cousin on her father's side, it would work out! especially since the purebloods are all related my blood or marriage, anyway.

faiz will take anyone and everyone who wants to make a difference. some jobs he's got for people will be more extreme than others so that could add some tension too.

katy is sort of the yang to evie's yin. she's the more quiet and reserved one, yet still equally as mean. she's really not that great of a person and doesn't really care about most people. she does, however, work in the ministry as the secretary of foreign affairs, so she fakes being nice and caring for a living in order to get the things she needs out of people. for the most part, she's really uninterested in people unless they are connected to people in her direct social circle, so zillah would be included in that since she's evie's cousin. she's also bookish like zillah, so they'd have that in common. school came really easy to her.
