E Pur Si Muove - Demelza Robins

Demelza Suzanne Robins



Age: 24
Birthdate: August 2, 1981
Family background: Born to Muggle parents, Demelza had no idea there was a world of magic existing simultaneously alongside her own until she received her Hogwarts letter. The fact that she was a witch certainly explained a lot; while she hadn't experienced many incidents of random magic, how she had turned her teacher's hair violet several years in a row had previously been unexplained. Demelza's loving parents, Alec and Bernice, took to their daughter being a witch as well as could be expected. Alec is a retired banker and he and Bernice travel extensively. Her brother, Jasper, is in his last year at Hogwarts.
House in School: Gryffindor
Bloodline (and does it matter?): Demelza's a Muggleborn, and she's not too fussed about it.
Political Views: Currently her loyalties lie with the Ministry, however, she subscribes mainly to common sense when forming her political opinions.

Appearance
Visual Representation: Rachel McAdams
Description: Of average height, Demelza has classic good looks and a killer smile. She changes her hair color often to suit her mood, and her greenish eyes are usually bright and kind.



Psychology and Personality
Sexuality: Straight as an arrow
Strengths and Weaknesses: Demelza knows what she wants and isn't afraid of letting other people know what that is. She's been accused of trying to micromanage the world around her, but that doesn't bother her. For Demelza, an organized life is a happy one. She can be a bit controlling, a touch obsessive and impatient.
Habits\Quirks: Mel really likes her aprons, to the point where she almost feels naked without one; she's obviously seldom without one. She smiles a lot when she's nervous, and likes to chew gum - it keeps her from sampling her own cooking. She typically doesn't wear a lot of jewelry, as it's not allowed in the kitchen.
Likes\Dislikes: Likes order, punctuality, puttering around in her herb garden behind the restaurant, high heels when she's not at work, traveling abroad, reading, spending time with her family and friends. Dislikes mornings without coffee, wintertime, loud people and cigarette smoke.

Lifestyle
Occupation: Demelza is the sous chef at the Blue Owl and has a weekly show on the Wizarding Wireless
Financial Status: She lives comfortably.
Residence: A flat in South Kensington, London



History from student days at Hogwarts to the present time:Even though she thought she'd been a pretty decent chaser, Demelza wasn't heavily recruited by quidditch teams after Hogwarts. She wanted the chance to play professionally though, so she accepted an offer from the Romanian National team. Professional quidditch didn't turn out to be what she hoped it would be; playing for money seemed to suck the joy out of the game. After being involved in the incident that ended Roger Davies's quidditch career, she retired after her first and only season and headed home to her family in Great Britain.

She stumbled for a while professionally, helping out Madam Hooch at Hogwarts briefly, trying her hand at office politics, and even working as a dog walker in the city before deciding to follow her childhood dream of becoming a chef. She completed a rigorous four year training program in France and returned to London, having secured a job as sous chef at the Blue Owl.
