About
Name: Pansy Parkinson MAY let you call her Pans if your name is Draco or Daphne. She also replies to darling, beautiful, angel, and the like.
Birthday: 17/7th
House: Slytherin
Year (for 1976-1977): 6th
Kind of blood (Muggle-born, Pureblood, etc): Pure
Pet: Owl called Rose and a cat named Prista though both are in the future
Physical Appearance: She is described in canon as having a ‘pug face.’ While I believe this means she has a rounder face than most, I don’t think that necessarily means she looks like a dog. Her description is from Harry and his friends, and subsequently, biased. However, I don’t think she is typically pretty either. She won’t stop traffic or anything along those lines, but she presents herself well. She spends time perfecting her dark hair, which she normally wears down and straight. She is not tall nor short, but average. She has a thin body frame which tends to make her round face seem a bit out of proportion. She can manage cute on the typical day and pretty on a special occasion such as a birthday party.
Biography
Pansy’s mother, Marigold Parkinson, originally Marigold Eneas, was raised as she is currently raising her own child. She believes muggles are filthy creatures to be exposed of and will not tolerate anything even resembling a muggle invention in her home.
Marigold’s marriage to Aster Parkinson was one arranged under the mutual want of both sets of parents. They don’t love each other, but this is not an issue as both believe love to be a “flight of fantasy” that can only lead to trouble. Marigold’s mother passed shortly after Pansy’s birth, but her father is still very much alive and influencing Marigold. Both of Aster Parkinson’s parents are alive and making their opinions regarding muggles and muggle-borns known.
Marigold herself is not an official death-eater though her husband joined the ranks early on. He was devastated by his Lord’s “demise” and has spent the subsequent years trying to make muggles and muggle-borns suffer as a way of revenge.
Pansy knows little about the death-eater world. She was taught to revere their ideas, but never taught about the blood shed that goes along with such beliefs. Marigold, knowing how awful a life it could be, has done her best to protect her only child from that harsh truth. Mr. Parkinson, disappointed they could never conceive a son, paid little attention to Pansy growing up and didn’t much care if she followed in his footsteps as long as she publicly supported him.
As a young child, Pansy didn’t understand why her father was often away on business. Moreover, the coldness he displayed toward her for not being a boy has caused Pansy to cling desperately to those males in her life who do manage to show her attention and affection. Due to this fact, Pansy is most definitely not her “mother’s daughter” as Marigold has never let the idea of love cloud her judgment. Though Pansy thinks she is in control of her emotions this is most definitely not the case when it comes to her male suitors.
As Pansy reached her “tween” years, she eagerly awaited the day she could join the ranks of her parents in becoming a Slytherin. For her, there was no other house and the sorting hat recognized that immediately though Pansy’s fierceness would leave room to believe she’d make a good Gryffindor. However, her bitter attitude and often self-serving ways prevailed, allowing the Syltherin in her to shine through on that fateful day. Once placed, Pansy immediately became a role model for the other first year girls in her house as they would often seek her out for advice on fashion, family, boys, and the like.
Pansy had no shortage of suitors as she grew older, but it was Draco Malfoy who she became smitten with. Though she had interaction with him before arriving at Hogwarts, it wasn’t until her interest in boys peaked during their first year as students together that she truly decided she wanted him to be her boyfriend. Consequently, she became bitterly jealous whenever he spoke of other girls or didn’t seek out her attention. However, at her core, she is insecure which caused issues as she was prone to becoming quiet and resentful when he could not read her mind.
Class wise, Pansy works hard to be a good student. She especially puts her mind to Professor Snape’s lessons as she wishes to gain his respect. She can be a “brown-nose” in class, but she is no Hermione. Rather, she prefers to do her work quietly, saying the answer when called on, but not volunteering.
From her first year, Pansy hated Harry Potter. He had rejected Draco’s friendship and that was the ultimate show of contempt as far as Pansy was concerned. Thus, she had no problem in leading ‘her girls’ when it came to throwing insults his way. She loved the Inquisitorial Squad because it gave her a chance to have power while spending even more time with Draco. However, after Harry named many of her classmates’ family members as being part of the Ministry fiasco, she was stripped of that power and left with a thirst for revenge. She wanted to see Potter pay.
Pansy is a leader as demonstrated by her prefect status and time on the Inquisitorial Squad. She has no problem speaking her mind. However, at the same time, she knows how to keep secrets. She is well-read, but not naturally intelligent. School is a struggle, but she manages to do well as is expected by her parents. She is fiercely loyal to the few she deems friends; thus, anyone who hurts them is immediately placed on her list to make hell for. She can be charming when she wants; thus, most males are taken with her though she is by no means a “natural beauty.”
At best, Pansy exemplifies the traits of her zodiac sign, the Leo, in that she is generous and faithful toward those she holds dear. At worst, she holds fast to the negative traits of this sign in that she is intolerant, domineering, and pompous. For loved ones, Pansy is willing to go the extra mile. She’ll buy lavish gifts for friends and family and will defend them no matter what- even when she knows they’re wrong. It is this stubborn streak that allows her to still worship her inattentive father. However, if someone gets on Pansy’s bad side, she will not be quick to forgive or forget. In fact, she’ll go out of her way to make sure those individuals are made to be miserable. Obviously, some in the world, such as Muggles and half-bloods, are automatic outsiders as far as Pansy is concerned. Mostly, she’ll ignore these people unless her friends or family see fit to ridicule them. For example, Harry Potter definitely fits this criterion.
An inherent trait that Pansy possesses is one that she does not realize she has. That trait is insecurity. Pansy did not grow up as many other girls do. She did not have a doting father, but rather, a mother who constantly dressed her like she would a doll and explicated the idea that men were toys to be used to the best advantage of women.
Starved for male attention, Pansy turns flirtatious, seeking out interest from any male, adult or teenager, who will give it to her. She realizes she isn’t “conventionally beautiful” but knows she can “make” people believe otherwise by behaving as she owns the world. She’s quick to point out other girls’ flaws, making herself look better in the process.
Despite her coy nature, Pansy has an incredible jealous streak which often leads to issues for the people in her life. She can be a handful when she feels scorned as she expects those around her to simply know why she’s angry. She never wants to tell them, but if they continue, in her mind, “acting” as if they are dense, she surely clues them in.
Extracurricular Activities: Call her the unofficial cheerleader of the Slytherin Quidditch team, but she’s not on it. She’s also not in any organized school club. She was a Prefect in the future, but not in 1976. She prefers spending her time gossiping, primping, and snogging.
Romantic history:
As stated in her history, Draco was Pansy’s first real crush. I’d like him to have been her first real kiss as well as the only one Pansy truly cares about romantically.
What was your character’s status before Dumbledore’s spell?
Pansy’s allegiance is first to herself and those she loves, namely her family, Draco, and other close Slytherin friends. As stated above, she didn’t know what to expect in supporting the Death Eaters. Though she helped Draco in the battle and laughed along with him, it was almost an out of body experience. After getting knocked unconscious, she continued fighting in self-preservation, but, getting thrown into the past had seriously made her stop and think about her choices. Don’t take this to mean she accepts mudbloods and the like, but she’s leaning toward the idea that obliteration may not be the answer. Perhaps they can be used as servants or something!
Future Students: What does your character want to accomplish while in the past?
Pansy wants to find a way back, obviously. However, she realizes life cannot occur as she knew it in the future. She wants to help future Death Eaters realize that muggles and muggle-borns can be used for other things; thus they shouldn’t be murdered. She is not a stupid girl. She saw that her own friends and friends’ parents perished during the Hogwarts battle. She does not want to endanger either herself or her family or friends again.
Of course, being trapped with only 15 other students who know who she REALLY is can lead to some interesting friendships…
