LO and behold [2]

[FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD]

Meticulous control: That is what Fallon Archibald likes to have over her life and she’s not shy about it either. The ambitious Head of the Department of International Magical Co-Operation has always had a head-strong and determined way about her. From a very early age, she engaged in the politics of Hogwarts - controlling a small and elitist group of Slytherin girls. Since then, her political power has exceeded even her expectations, landing her at the helm of the Co-Op department. Her treacherous faults lie in her vanity and uncontrollable jealousy, which she only lets out in the privacy of her own room or office. There is a dangerous rage that boils beneath the surface, but she was certain to never let it spill over the rim: She had appearances to uphold. Fallon is also careful to keep a tight lip on her sarcastic nature, although she can’t help but let it out slightly when she comes into contact with someone who pushes her buttons. She feel slightly threatened by the advancement of creatures in the wizarding society, although she has thus far kept her opinion quiet.

friends: Fallon doesn’t really have friends - she has allies. She has built her life on controlling people, and even as an adult with a prestigious position, that remains one of her main goals. enemies: Archibald does rub a lot of people the wrong way, sometimes believing that she is far better than they are...which could be a serious cause for friction. lovers: Focused extremely on her career, it is unlikely that Fallon will plan for anyone to infiltrate her feelings...however, if you have a brilliant idea, I’d be more than willing to try and work out some of the details with you <3

Fallon Archibald - 27 - MoM Department Head

Dory Emory grew up always concerned that people were looking at her - she hated when people looked at her. From a very early age, she figured out that it wasn’t just her imagination...people seemed to be drawn to her. It wasn’t until she moved in with her Grandmother after the death of her mom that she was given the answer that she really needed to hear: She was part Veela. A dangerous trait to be sure, her grandmother tried to convince her that it was a seat of power, but Dor never saw it as anything more that a distraction. Honestly, Dory Emory would rather be curled up in an armchair with her favorite book rather than fending off people who wanted to be around her for the wrong reasons. She’s super self-conscious about her glasses - and can more often than not be found in the library studying!

friends: Dory is quiet and rather shy, and often has a hard time making friends. However, those who catch her at the right moments and see a real glimpse of her tend to be enthralled...maybe it’s the veela in her or maybe it’s her grade-A dorky personality, Dory will never know. enemies: I’m sure Dory and her good looks have been the cause of some problems over the years, I’d love to plot a one-sided rivalry with someone because it has potential to be hilarious. lovers: She’s rather concerned that no one will ever have sincere feelings for her, especially given that she is part Veela. Dory is a hopeless romantic, dreaming of love and a cute boy that will actually give her personality the time of day.

@amadeus & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
Amadeus is remarkably quite similar to Fallon in personality. He's professional, stately, well-spoken and refined. He plays close attention to detail and seems to have a knack for people-pleasing. He was, quite literally, born into the Ministry and has worked there for ages. He is a large advocate for creature equality and civility towards men and has rallied towards the cause for several years. With that being said he has a definite streak of arrogance and an unquenchable thirst for power that runs deep within his veins. Especially due to their similarities I think that these two will butt heads, to say the least. Amadeus is a likely candidate to antagonize Fallon and pick apart at her flaws because she is competition. I imagine these two would occasionally run into one another at The Ministry. If you have any ideas to add please feel free to supplement this. 

[FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD]

@amadeus & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
I’d imagine that Fallon would be less than fond of Amadeus - especially since she knows she won’t be able to control him or establish the upper-thumb because he surpasses her in age, power, and danger. Obviously there is going to be tension between them; both have a concept of social acceptability and standards and yet their general views on creatures’ rights seem to be their fundamental difference. They both seem to cherish the lavish lifestyle of the upper-class, however, and this might be a bonding point...although I can’t see it going anything beyond a strained alliance should they ever need each other (I cant even imagine an instance in which they would, but just for plottage...).

I think Fal's goal would be to anger him to the point where he does something to get himself fired...but I dont think she’ll ever succeed - she’ll probably end up getting herself into trouble trying XD She wants him gone because she eventually wants to step up through the under-secretary ranks. Thoughts on this?

FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD & @amadeus
Yep! It seems we have the same idea of what direction this ship is taking which is excellent. Amadeus is unlikely to lose his temper with her, and even more likely to toy with her to a great extent, especially if he were to ever acquire knowledge of her desire for his position. I would go as far to say he might even make it a game to occupy his time- unfortunate news for Fallon, but it should be fun to RP nevertheless.

@jae&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - I've told you what I think here ;P
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - I don't see James having much contact with the Ministry right now, but he hasn't decided what he wants to do with his future yet, so there's future potenial.

@red&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - Poor Dory... Poor, poor Dory. What more can I say? This is Raphael, the shameless flirt. Of course, he'll flirt with anyone that walks on two legs, but... yeah. She'll be victim to his flirts, of course. 
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - Should they ever cross paths, I certainly can't see Fallon liking him at all, though there's no chance of Raphael ending up in the Ministry, so... 

@dorian&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - He'd know her if she takes Arithmancy... well, that and he's now her Head of House. Maybe he makes sure to check in with her and make sure she's okay every now and again?
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - Eh, not too what there'll be for them at current seeing as he's working at Hogwarts and she's at the Ministry, but they would have been at Hogwarts around the same time. (Her sheet/profile says 27 but plotter 25? Either way, Dorian's 26).

@candy&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - Here's your one sided hate-on for sure! Candy is a metamorph, but even with the ability to change her appearance she's still never happy nor confident about her own appearance. And then there's perfectly beautiful Dory who has it all. Candy no likey!
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - Candy can't decide between two career paths that interest her, but I think if these two crossed paths they may actually get along pretty well. Candy is a Slytherin, too, and highly ambitious. Well, they'd either get along or despise each other... I think Candy might admire Fallon's achievements, though.

@sven&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - I don't really know how these two would know each other, but if they did cross paths, he wouldn't think much of her, because at the end of the day, Veela are still creatures in his eyes.
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - It's 1pm love, not 1:15

@alma&&
DORY LARKSPUR EMORY - SISTERRRRR!!!!! I honestly couldn't resist! How can you have Dory without Alma?  
FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD - Somehow I don't see Fallon liking this little spitfire all too much, but hey, crazier things have happened.

[FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD]

@amadeus & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
AH PERFECT. We’ll have to set up a thread for them ASAP, because Fallon always needs more bother in her life. I can get on it a little later today since we don’t have school due to the ‘largest snow storm in 10 years’ hitting my state!

@jae & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
AHHHHH I love them. I have an open thread in the Trophy Room if you wanna take it, but if not, we can always set up something different for them I think it could be really cute if James taught her more about Quidditch since she doesn’t really understand the sport.

@red & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
Oh my god, I imagine that he makes her SO uncomfortable. Poor Dory, indeed! She probably tries to ignore him to the best of her ability.

@dorian & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
Dory does indeed take Arithmancy, she’s always up for a challenge. I imagine that she probably looks up to Professor Winston in a huge way. I could see her going to him for advice and stuff - maybe even adopting him as an older brother-like figure? Daddy Emory isn’t in the picture so it might be good for her to have someone to talk to.

@dorian & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
She’s 27! I kept doing that and I have no idea why hahaha. That being said, they totally could have known each other at Hogwarts. Fal was a Slytherin and I’m assuming Dorian was a Ravenclaw - but it could be really interesting if Fal knew the girl that he used to be engaged too. I could see her pulling an ‘Oooh, such a shame’ card and then laughing in his face. O.o

@candy & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
YES. Dory would have a hard time standing up for herself, but I could certainly see her acknowledging the tension between them. Stupid Dory would probably try and convince her that she was pretty just the way she was - which would probably only piss off Candy even more.

@candy & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
I could see Fallon most certainly wanting to cultivate Candy from her very early age. She collects people to establish connections and Candy might be very intriguing to her indeed. I think that if they ever came into contact - ie if Candy was exploring her options at the Ministry - Fallon would be more than willing to take her under her wing for a day. She’s in the market for a new secretary anyway ;]

@sven & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
OBSESSED. *falls over and squirms* There might be something for them in the future

@alma & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
YOU CAN’T HAVE ONE WITHOUT THE OTHER! Little sister! Dory loves her to absolute pieces and she would do anything for her, but Alma definitely has a leg-up on her when it comes to confidence and self-confidence.

@alma & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
Fal isn’t pro-creature, so she might have a bit of a hard time dealing with the Emory sisters should she ever come into contact with them. Honestly she would probably hate the young girls more than anything in the world because they are obnoxiously attractive and she has a bit of a jealous side to her. But this is all hinging on them actually meeting one another.

[Deleted]

@jae & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
I'm already in it! <3 They're all cute already, bless them. James could talk her through Quidditch, or take her out for a ride or something, but he's not the sort to play on the house team. But I'm up for that at some point!

@red & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
Uncomfortable/Awkward = more amusing for Red! He does it all with good intent, of course, but... poor Dory!

@dorian & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
He'd be up for it, and the challenge of trying to keep be supportive but keep a respectful distance would keep him on his toes.

@dorian & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
I keep doing the same with Dorian XD I can never remember whether I put 26 or 28! But, they might even have fallen into the same year group at school, so they certainly should share some memories He certainly wouldn't appreciate her laughing in his face, though.

@candy & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
Nope, Candy probably wouldn't like that too much. She has a hard time trying to create a look she actually likes since her morphing ability isn't up to par, and a comment like that from Miss Perfect wouldn't go down well.

@candy & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
Ooh that sounds interesting! I can picture Candy doing that - going to the Ministry, getting a scope on her options. She thinks ahead a lot, and she'd want a head start on things since it's her final year at school. 

@sven & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
"Do I look like the sort of girl who needs to cuddle?"  >.>

@alma & DORY LARKSPUR EMORY
I couldn't resist! And we didn't get to do very much with them last time. These two need to thread <3

@alma & FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
Alma would probably be the one making comments back and doubly ensuring her dislike is Fallon was to make any comment towards them, or it became apparent how she felt.  *hiss*

FALLON SUZETTE ARCHIBALD
Sounds lovely! My replies might be a little slow because I'm finishing up my senior thesis and graduating but we can certainly get something started. If you wanted to start, then I'll keep an eye out. Otherwise I'll try to get something up this weekend.
