Name: Narcissa Black
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Year: 6th
Face Claim: Scarlett Johansson

Canon or Original? Canon

Facial Properties: Narcissa looks more like her mother rather then her father. She is very fair skinned. Even in the summer she looks as if she has rarely seen the sun and in winter she is even paler. She has a rounded nose that she considers perfect for her face shape. Her eyes are an icy blue, almost like a crystals. On the rare occasion she cries they turn to a very light blue, usually because of the redness that comes with crying. She has a smile that she considers to be incandescent. When she does smile, her genuine smile, her eyes light up. Generally this happens when she is with her sisters or when certain pureblood boys cross her mind. Her hair is very blonde and reaches her mid shoulders at it's longest and gently touches her shoulders at it's shortest. It is generally curled unless she feels like turning it straight with nifty charms she knows.
Physique: Narcissa is the smallest of her sisters. Not just in height but it build. She is not petite by any means. She is about five feet and six inches tall but she is quite slender. She finds no interest in flying so her frame is far from muscular. She has some curve to her but they are, as her mother says, in all the right places. She does a decent amount of just walking to help maintain her weight. She generally can be seen in clothing that helps play up her curves rather then hide them.

Wand Type: 13 inch, Willow, Hippogriff Talon Core
Wand Expertise: Charms
Patronus: A lynx
Boggart: The death of her family or shame becoming on her family

Personality: {four or more paragraphs}

Narcissa is very mysterious. Definitely the most mysterious of the three Black Sisters. Between Bella and Andromeda she rarely got a word in. She is fairly reserved as she is raised to be a lady that rarely lets people know what's on her mind and that is considered a virtue in her eyes. With the lack of emotion comes a basic inability of anyone being able to read her and with that comes the fact she is very unpredictable in her actions. No one knows what to expect out of her and that's almost a blessing and a curse bundled into one. She tends to feel numb in situations that are on the negative end of things. Not shedding a tear or completely burying her anger. However no matter how strong she thinks she is, she must let it out sometime. Generally it is in the presence of her parents- because generally they will do anything to calm her fears or make whatever is bugging her go away. She might in break down in front of a boyfriend but she would really have to trust him to do that.

Narcissa is a perfectionist. She likes everything done just so. If not you will head the consequences of being corrected, lectured and/or having it demonstrated for you. She is very neat and orderly and you will rarely find a spec of dust in her dorm. Cleaning is not a past time of her's but it kind of comes with the Perfectionism as do certain other attributes of her's- vanity, intelligence, charm and being conniving. This also clearly reflects in her choice of friends (which are few) and her choice of "acceptable" dates (which are even scarcer).

Narcissa possesses the absolute Black family charm. She is gracious, quiet, and polite to anyone who is older then her or if it is someone who commands respect whether through authority, power, money or social standing. She feels that everyone is somewhat envious of her and she feeds off of that and works hard to keep up the image of absolute perfection. She has seen her aunt heartlessly burn people off of her family tree, so doing anything to please her Auntie Black and her parent's to earn her spot on the family tree. The lack of unconditional love in her family causes her to have trust issues. She never knows if someone will approve of her so she tries not to do anything too risky.

Narcissa is very intelligent for her age. That does not mean necessarily mean she receives top marks in school though. She gets bored with school work easily and generally does the bare minimum to get by. She doubts her parent's would ever make their youngest, most pampered daughter get a job. She knows in the back of her mind she will probably be found a husband shortly after graduation. She loves the social aspect of school but does not have any real close friends. She has people she considers "distant friends/ friends of friends/ admirer". Narcissa not being that close with anyone is almost a virtue given she is quite conniving. She will do nearly anything in her pursuit of perfection, anything legal that is. She rarely likes to get involved with rule breaking and even if she does, she does it silently behind closed doors.

Narcissa can be quite vain at times. She constantly hears from her parent's and friends of the family how fair she is. She stayed quite humble for a while but it's hard to do that when you hear it constantly. She has a secret desire though. She dreams of one day brewing a Polyjuice Potion and turning herself into someone who is not as beautiful as she is and interact with everyone. She wants people to see her loving, good heart but generally people associate her with Bella more so then Andromeda so she is cast off as "Bellatrix Black's little sister" and she knows better then anyone that title does not do anything positive for you outside of the Slytherin common room. Narcissa loves her family more then anything on this green earth. The death of her father, mother (Cygnus and Druella) or her sister's is the thing she fears more then anything in the world.

Narcissa can be quite cold and calculating at times. She loves her family but she can definately be the divider of it. Her relationship with her parents- being the youngest- is very good. She realized at a young age that if she were to shed a tear or bat her eyelashes she would get whatever her heart desired. Whether it was a new robe, a new outcome, or something that would affect her elder sisters. She loved her parent's eating out of her hand. Understandably this was a bit of a negative part of the sisterly bonds but to an extent if Narcissa was happy, mum and dad were happy, and if mum and dad were happy, Bellatrix and Andromeda were happy- usually.

History: {four or more paragraphs}

Birth- 5 Years: Narcissa Violetta Black (named for her fraternal great-grandmother) was born in the middle of May in her family’s large estate outside of London. She was the third and youngest daughter of Cygnus Black and his wife Druella (nee Rosier). She looked like neither of her two elder sisters with her fair skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. She grew up in a fairly sheltered existence her only playmates being other pureblood children her parents approved of and of course her elder sisters, Bellatrix and Andromeda. She was, in her eyes, the favorite of the three Black daughters. She always had her father's attention as well as her mother's.

5-7 Years: When it came time to start her formal education she was five, Andromeda was 6 and Bella was 7 almost 8. Her mother taught her at their Manor in Southern England while her father worked long hours at the ministry to make sure his family had the most desirable lifestyle known to Muggle or Wizard alike. As she reached the end of her first year of schooling her mother explained to her what Hogwart's was. When Narcissa heard that she would be leaving her family for nine months out of the year, she threw a fit. Her love for her parent's has always been a staple in her life. During these years she developed a certian charisma and a need to be the attention getter. Narcissa looked up to both of her elder sisters but she was so very jealous of their relationship. She was always the odd one out.

8-10 Years: A few months after her eighth birthday her father talked to her about how when she left for Hogwarts in a few years she would have to conduct herself like a Black. Narcissa just assumed that every family was like her's so her father had to explain to her that some families were not wealthy and some were better then others. This is where Narcissa learned her sense of pride about her family heritage. Right after her 9th Birthday her eldest sister- Bellatrix- had received her Hogwart's letter. When Narcissa saw Bella off the following autumn she couldn't help but think that next year it was Andromeda's turn then her's. After Bella left she sent letters to her little sisters. As Narcissa read them she got more and more excited about Hogwarts School and when her sister Andromeda went off she loved being the only Black daughter at the residence but realized how much she missed her elder sisters. She knew that this was just an extenstion of how her sister's were always close and she was generally on the outside looking in.

11-13 years old: The day after Narcissa turned 11 she received her Hogwarts letter. When she did she re-read it so many times that the parchment tore down the center. Her father reiterated what he had said before about behaving like a Black. Then her mother told her there would be a handful of Pureblood boys there so she had to be on her best behavior at all times- especially in the Slytherin common room. When she arrived at Hogwarts she was sorted like every other student. To no one's surprise, except her own, she was put in Slytherin house with her elder sister who was now a third year. Her first year went by typically with homework and exams.

12- 14 Years: This span of two years was the toughest for Narcissa. She was feeling more and more pressured to do well as her OWL year was quickly approaching. She felt like she was distanced from her sister Andromeda just due to her lack of seeing her and felt herself growing more and more isolated. She hung around with her sister Bella who now had her tight knit group of Pureblood fanatics that really did not care for someone that much younger then them. Narcissa did start spending a substantial amount of time checking out the boys of Slytherin and picked out a few she liked that she would ask her sister about. She spent a lot of time in the library just so she would not have to acknowledge anyone or anything.

15- Present: With the graduation of her eldest sister and the appointment of being a head to her one sister still in the school Narcissa decided now was the perfect time to make a name for herself. She certainly did make an impression as she was made Prefect for her year which made both her parents quite proud of her, their youngest keeping a "clean record". She knows now she will probably be found a husband shortly after graduation and is starting to warm up to the idea of braving marriage. She did fairly well on her OWL's however making so she has been placed in several NEWT classes. She is very aware of the movement of the death eaters. As her parent's would expect is she would have a small hand in everything. She will never be the one in the field but as they say- every production needs a stage crew. That is where Narcissa's place lies- in the background with hardly any suspicion lying over her head.



Sample Post:

Narcissa sat at the vanity in her grand bedroom at her family's manor. She looked at herself in the mirror. She had changed so much this past year. She lost all of her awkward pre-teen, early teen year tendencies and had bloomed into a beautiful young woman. She noticed the date on her calendar. August 15th. Her Aunt and Uncle Black would be throwing their almost back to school ball for the children of the family that still attended. It was not a party to be missed by anyone of pureblood. Now this year was different though her parent's had told her on more then one occasion this summer that they would be pursuing a match for their youngest daughter.

Narcissa walked to her closet. She had a lovely emerald gown that just made her eyes look so unbelievably blue and helped her enhance her small curves. She was about to open the door when an owl tapped on her window. She went over to grab the letter. It was her Hogwarts letter for her sixth year at school. She could hardly believe that she was going to be a sixth year already. She shook her head and went back to her vanity when her mother came bustling in and demanded her youngest daughter start readying herself for the party that night.

Narcissa spent the next hour putting her hair in rollers, doing her make-up and cleaning herself up like every other woman her age does before going to a very formal dance. This year would be different though, her cousin Sirius would not be in attendance. She sighed when she had heard about all that took place her eldest sister gave her typical good riddance lecture that was given every time his name came up. Andromeda just hung her head and sulked for a while and she, Narcissa, had been the silent one- just as she had always been. She looked at herself in the mirror and she looked stunning. Her mother came up the stairs when Narcissa realized she was still in her robe.

She opened her closet door and pushed her outfits around multiple times. She could not find the emerald dress sh had so desired for this night. She ran around the house asking her family if they had seen it. Her sister's looked perfect as always Andromeda in a navy blue dress and Bella in a stunning red number. She finally found her personal house elf carrying it and she let out a huge sigh of relief. She quickly slid into it as her mother tied it up and told her that she looked beautiful. She followed her parents and sisters to a night that she would relive over and over again.

When she was presented at the party she owned the feeling that every eye in the house was on her. She felt boys starting to see her differently. They now saw her as Narcissa Black- not Andromeda's and Bellatrix's little sister. She talked with the students she had gone to school with since she was a first year and her distant friends. She watched her eldest sister dance with Rodulphus Lestrange. She truly looked happy. She conceded that night- whomever her parents may find will be the best man for her and she will learn to be as happy with him as Bellatrix is with Rodulphus.
