Magical information.

Hogwarts House.

Pansy Parkinson was taught to embody Slytherin's ideals from the moment she learned to speak. Resourceful, cunning, and ambitious, her competitive spirit and unwavering thirst for perfection flourished in Slytherin House.

boggart.

Pansy's Boggart takes the form of water, often creeping towards her with a life of its own. It has terrified her since her experience almost drowning in the river behind her house when she was a child.

School.

toxic families, manipulation, masochism

Sabine Perrot never wanted children. She had been orphaned at the age of fourteen and forced to leave her idyllic childhood in rural southern France to move to England. Her grandmother arranged for her to be taken in by the Parkinson's, old friends of her parents. Perseus Parkinson and his wife Dido let her into their home under the pretense of charity for the young orphan, but Sabine was perceptive enough to know that they wanted to get their hands on the sizeable Perrot fortune, to which she was the sole heir. She also knew of her grandmother's arrangement to marry Sabine off to the Parkinson's youngest son Pontius when she came of age, which would settle an old debt between their parents. The inevitability of this arrangement was a truth that pained Sabine more than having to leave home, as it meant she would never be able to go back.

Pontius was just as bitter at the thought of his marriage. His parents had arranged both Parkinson boys wives by the time they were teenagers as a way to social climb, or attempt to gain more stature for their slightly wavering family name. Pontius envied his older brother Alessandro in more ways than one. He had always been the favourite of their parents, and carried himself with an air of superiority towards his brother. Most enviable of all, Alessandro was betrothed to the beautiful Belladonna Selwyn, the girl who truly had Pontius' heart. While his love for Belladonna was requited, nothing would stand in the way of the will of his social-climbing parents.

Pontius went ahead with the marriage to appease his parents, much to Sabine's chagrin. They were moved in to one of the Parkinson Manors in Wiltshire, which shared a garden with his brother's manor across the river. In the beginning they often clashed. Sabine had always been nothing but an impolite and opinionated child in her husband's eyes, and he was cold and callous in hers. The fighting died down not long after their marriage, as Sabine's willpower faded.

Her happiest times were when she was left alone while Pontius went away to work in London, and she would tend to her precious flower garden for days on end. But it wasn't long before Dido came with more demands from the unhappy couple. She wanted an heir. Alessandro and Belladonna had been unsuccessful so far in their efforts to conceive, and Dido turned to Pontius in the hopes that he would. Sabine was not a maternal woman, but the burden of children seemed to be non-negotiable.

Not a year after Sabine and Pontius had married, she reluctantly fell pregnant with her first child. A few months later, Belladonna followed suit. Josiah Perseus Parkinson was born first, in May of 1977. Sabine felt no joy at the birth of her son, and it wasn't long before she left him in the care of the staff and returned to trimming the roses in her majestic garden. Josiah was a born charmer from his first word, and always made himself leader when in groups of children his age. He was a storyteller, and commanded attention from everyone but his parents. Dido, however, treated him like a prince.

Their second child, Pansy, was nothing like her brother. Timid and quiet, she cowered in her brother's shadow in her youth. She lacked his easy grace with strangers, and unnerving ability to talk like an adult even as a child. Josiah enjoyed the power he had over Pansy. He resented her from birth, seeing her as another grievance standing in his way from gaining his parents' love. Josiah was just a boy when he learned and nursed the power of manipulation, and Pansy was his homework.

Dido's affections for Pontius' children did not extend beyond Josiah. Pansy was a twisted little girl in her eyes, the runt of the litter. She noticed the girl's disturbing masochistic tendencies from a young age, her way of bargaining for the attention of her cold parents. When she was just five, her grandmother caught Pansy in Sabine's flower garden deliberately pricking her index finger on the thorn of a white rose. This behaviour concerned Dido, as she continued to notice Pansy behaving in strangely, always coming back from playing in the garden with a particularly nasty cut or bruise. The woman wondered what sort of conniving, disturbed child might cause herself pain in order to gain some kind of twisted sympathy.

Dido finally intervened when Pansy was seven, and her masochism reached its peak. Pansy's scrape with death was privately gossiped about in pureblood society. They were shocked to hear that the seven year old had jumped (though Dido insisted she had fallen) off a tree and into the ice cold river that ran behind the Parkinson Manor. It had been another of Pansy's strangely calculated bids for attention, but had almost ended much more seriously. Furious and humiliated, Dido arranged for her granddaughter to be more harshly disciplined, and kept her under the watch of her brother. Josiah, of course, revelled in another opportunity to control his sister, who had undeniably become the liability of the family.

Pansy's childhood was closest to normal when she was around her friends. She saw them mostly on arranged playdates, and always once a year at the annual Parkinson Garden Party, which always fell on the 5th of July. Pansy began to come a little out of her extremely introverted shell over the years, after befriending the other pureblood children her age.

Basic Information.

MBTI type: INTJ, the architect
Enneagram: five wing six

Positive traits: creative, determined, ambitious, intuitive, observant, witty, intelligent, talented
Negative traits: jealous, proud, critical, insecure, masochistic, arrogant, competitive, possessive, cruel

Dominant: Introverted intuition.

Detail-oriented: Pansy is more interested in patterns, meanings and possibilities than just concrete hard facts. She has incredibly good intuition and has always had a habit for noticing intricacies in social situations very quickly.

Imaginative: As an introvert, Pansy spends a large amount of time in her own head, and often fantasies about her future. She can picture things clearly in her head, which means she is a very visual learner. When it comes to recalling memories, she will often remember more of a feeling or impression than exact details of events.

Perceptive: Pansy is good at reading between the lines and sensing meanings, which means she is quick to notice when somebody is trying to manipulate or charm her. An important thing to remember about Pansy is her interior world is extremely observant to the behaviours, habits and personalities of people around her. She is only oblivious when she choses to be.

Auxiliary: Extraverted Thinking.

Calculating / Strategic: Pansy needs order, control and structure from the world around her in order to think. This means she will get easily distracted or find it hard to think clearly in environments when there are little details about her surroundings that bother her. This means that when Pansy is approaching a problem, she is deliberate and methodical.

Logically Observant: Despite being an emotionally volatile person, Pansy rarely makes important decisions clouded by emotion, which is something she has trained herself to do over the years. When making decisions, Pansy organises her thoughts in order so she can analyse cause-and-effect relationships.

Perfectionist: Pansy's childhood instilled in her a hyper-critical and analytical side. She often is obsessive over minor details and will not be happy if things aren't exactly as she has visualised. When under large amounts of stress, she tends to get obsessive over minor details that she would not usually consider to be important to her overall goal. She copes with stress through entering into any kind of mindless, repetitive activity, which often isn't healthy.

Tertiary: Introverted Feeling.

Private: Pansy likes to feel things in the comfort of her own space, and feels uncomfortable talking about them with other people. She is also largely uninterested in other people's emotions, and often resents being dragged in to others emotional worlds. Her insistence on privacy means that she finds it hard to form any close relationships because of her distrust causing her to avoid intimacy. The closest she gets to an intimate relationship as a teenager is with Draco, however the feelings are mostly one-sided, causing Pansy to retreat further into her interior world.

Avoiding: Pansy's emotional side is slightly undeveloped as a teenager, and it is only as she gets older that she explores her emotions more. In her teenage years, she often acted in ways that she didn't fully understand herself. She often pushed down feelings that felt too strong or threatened to take her out of her comfort zone.

Volatile: Despite her calm and aloof exterior, Pansy's mood swings and emotions are extremely volatile. Her moods are one thing that don't fit into the logical and orderly structure that allows Pansy to think clearly, which is why she often pushes down emotions that she doesn't understand in order to clear her head and stay focused.

Social RELATIONSHIPS.

Hierarchy: Pansy looks at people in relationship to a hierarchy she forms in her head. In her own friendship group at school, she feels like a leader, and enjoys feeling influential over the other girls. When entering into any relationship, Pansy is often extremely aware of the power dynamics and what she can do to bend them in her favour. This works as more of a survival instinct than an manipulation tactic.

Strategic: As she is with everything, Pansy is extremely strategic and analytical about her friendships, and chooses her friends pointedly. Pansy looks at her friendships as a way to keep her secure in the social aspects of school. She is not the type to confide in a friend, and only properly manages to once she has developed her emotional side later in life. Over the course of her life, Daphne Greengrass becomes one of the only the friends Pansy manages to truly open up to, and that is only once they have left school.

Socially Stunted: Pansy had little time to develop her social skills after having a fairly isolated childhood. Her social circle was arranged by her mother, and she lived in such a rural area that she could only see friends when her mother had organised it. At school, Pansy makes very few new friends, and with a few exceptions, only stays inside her small circle. One of the reasons for this is actually because she is actually quite a shy person when outside of her comfort zone, and can be a little socially awkward. She masks this social vulnerability with her mean and arrogant exterior.

INTRODUCTION.

Hi, hello, my name is Lili, you may know me from my Emma Vanity account @infulminare. my spam is @tomhrdis, feel free to request if we know each other (im always up for new friendships though so dm me anytime). i dont really know what to put here, but i'm 18 and my timezone is british.

DISCLAIMER.

pansy is a character I have portrayed on-and-off since I started rp, so my portrayal is the result of a lot of effort to develop and explore her as a character. I began portraying her properly on @selfindict around early April 2020, and since then my portrayal has grown and developed largely. I love seeing what other people do with their portrayals of Pansy, especially as there is barely anything to go off of other than her being mean and unpleasant. However because my portrayal is largely my own imagining, I won't tolerate copying or stealing ideas. (Including using kaya as a pansy face claim, as that is important to my portrayal).

That said, if there are any other pansy accounts that want to dm me and just talk about how amazing our girl is or collaborate to make something, that is something i wouuld love to do so hmu!

also, i am in no way claiming to be affiliated with JK rowling or warner bros, this is merely for roleplay purposes as and for my own fun. dont sue me haha x

that said, i'd also like to note that while i love harry potter and it's universe with all my heart, i do not support JK rowling and do not condone her offensive and discriminatory ideals.

Childhood.

Daphne and Pansy met when they were children, at one of the Parkinsons' annual Garden parties. Pansy had gained a little more confidence by this point, and was beginning to assert herself as leader of the girls her age. Initially, Pansy was intimidated by Daphne's strong will and sense of humour. She wasn't simpering or timid, and didn't follow her around like Millicent did. The other girls knew not to spend too much time talking to Draco so as not to face Pansy's withering glares, but Daphne did no such thing. She and Draco were close friends, and Pansy was not happy about it. Daphne knew how to talk to him, and made him laugh, something Pansy found almost impossible.

Over their childhood, the girls did have their moments. Few people could make Pansy crack a genuine smile or laugh like Daphne could, though Pansy would immediately fight it off. They often found themselves bonding over their mutual dislike for other people, and Daphne would laugh at the way Pansy would wrinkle her nose when she was disgusted or displeased. But ultimately, Pansy never allowed Daphne to become a real friend in her childhood because of the fact that she saw her as competition. And even in her youth, life was survival of the fittest for Pansy.

Hogwarts.

Pansy was surprisingly quick to settle in at school. Slytherin was the ultimate comfort for her, as she was around people she'd known all her life and the house's tendency not to mix with other houses meant Pansy could rule over her tight circle with no disturbances. That is, of course, apart from Daphne Greengrass. Daphne was amused by Pansy's dictatorship over her posse, and the way she insisted on pretending she hated her. The blonde enjoyed getting on Pansy's nerves, and simply rolled her eyes at the girl's competitive nature.

Despite Pansy's best efforts, Daphne and Pansy became closer as the years went by. Much to Pansy's annoyance, Daphne was the only one of her friends that dared question Pansy's opinions or call her out for her wrongdoings. Usually, Daphne was unbothered by Pansy's petty jabs and simply ignored her, but sometimes they fought properly. When they did, the dorm room was divided and filled with icy, awkward silences. Millicent sided with Pansy without fail, but sometimes if Tracey was feeling overly confident she might go with Daphne. Despite their clashes, all the girls knew one thing: Daphne was the only one Pansy would truly forgive.

Pansy and Daphne's friendship solidified in fifth year when there was something of an uprising among the girls in the group. Tracey had started it when Pansy pushed her too far, and she, Scarlett and Millicent collectively decided that Pansy's reign of tyranny was over. The girls iced her out, leaving Pansy alone. Daphne wasn't fully involved in the mutiny, and remained infuriatingly neutral. Pansy was convinced that this in itself was a betrayal, and insisted on icing her out too. But as she always had done, Daphne persisted, and soon enough Pansy couldn't cope with pretending she didn't mind being alone. Besides, now that she and Draco were... whatever they were, she no longer saw Daphne as a threat, although she never really had been.

Sixth year was difficult for all of Pansy's relationships. She was utterly consumed by whatever secret Draco was keeping, and often found Daphne's presence overwhelming. She was worried about Draco too, but advised Pansy to stop pestering him about it, which angered her even more. Despite this, Pansy had begun to learn that she might need Daphne more than she thought, and every time they fell out, she felt the weight of her aloneness more. By the end of the year, the pair were solid friends, at least as solid as Pansy could manage while continuing to keep most of her life private.

In their final year at Hogwarts, the Slytherin girl group slowly reformed. Pansy and Draco were no longer speaking, which ultimately calmed her down a sizeable amount. Daphne had forced her to make amends with the other girls with the reasoning that "if they all die in the war, you'll really be sorry", to which Pansy rolled her eyes and reluctantly agreed. Seventh year was oddly peaceful friendship-wise for Pansy and Daphne. Pansy was no longer the domineering leader of the group, and strangely, she didn't really mind. The impending war was just too scary for Pansy to bother with friendship drama, and now that Draco was out of her life for good, she felt no need to compete.

Post war.

In the aftermath of the war, Daphne and Pansy's friendship went from strength to strength. As both girls picked up the pieces from their losses, they found comfort in one another and Pansy finally started to open up to Daphne.
