Name: Desdemona Grey
Nicknames: Lady Grey, Demona
Age: Twenty
Previous House: N/A; Attended a private school in Italy.
Job: This and that
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Bisexual
Blood: Pureblood, nothing but the best here.
Good or Evil: Evil is too soft of a word for what I am.
Family: Winston Grey (father, deceased), Amara Grey (mother, deceased), Elmira Grey (sister, deceased)
Wand: 8" Ash with Dragon Heartstring
Likes: Power, money, causing misfortune and misery to anyone she comes across, being number one, pain (both on the giving end and the receiving end.)
Dislikes: The weak of heart, muggles, poor people, not getting what she wants.
Fears: Being tossed into Azkaban, not having money or power, Dementors
Flaws: (Not optional, not everyone is perfect) Physically, Demona has no flaws, but internally...mentally, well...she has more than just a few. She is fiercely competitive, to the point of harming her challengers, which frankly, leads her to make rather rash and violent decisions, causing her to slip up. She has few patience for those she deems beneath her, leaving her to lose many competent and worthy allies along the way. She does, have a few marks of her lust for pain on her body....but those she considers beautiful, not flaws. She has some bite marks on the calves of her legs, those resembling the marks of wild animals, very strange stuff indeed. Her back has a few slight scars, looking as if she has been flogged by a previous angry and over enthusiastic lover.
Patronus: (If you have one) Raven
Personality: (At least 10 sentences) Desdemona Grey is a very interesting and disturbing specimen. She is a very intelligent young woman whose speech and mannerisms indicate education in the fine arts. She is very elegant in her movements and her taste for rich and rare things, duly noted. She is an elitist in every sense of the term, even putting herself above even the most noble of purebloods. She will not hesitate to voice her disdain of anyone she considers beneath her, be they muggle or mudblood, or even those too weak of heart to serve her needs.
Don't confuse this rich and stuck up attitude from someone short of brains however, for she is quite cunning and ruthless. Demona has no conscience and does not care to get her hands dirty, especially when it brings a scream. She has some sort of sick fascination with pain, both in causing it and having it inflicted upon her, making her a very disturbing and quite dangerous individual.
Picture: Sophia Myles
Appearance: (At least 10 sentences) Desdemona is a very clean and exceptionally dressed young woman, choosing more of an old world look mostly forgotten by woman of her time. She prefers long dresses and corsets, ornamental head pieces and fine, expensive jewelry. Her make-up consists of the essentials, the things which elevate her natural beauty all the more. Eye shadow which enhances or makes her green eyes stand out all the more along with the same shade of lipstick, magically enchanted to make her lips a bit more plump.
Her figure is petite, almost hourglass shaped. She isn't tall by any means, standing a mere 5'6" and weighing in around 105 lbs (or so she says, but hey, I'm not one to question that). Her long blond hair is never left to flop about in some pony tail or clumped up like some rat's nest. No she spends quite a bit of time fixing and styling her hair, making sure every strand is in place.
Anything Else?: Light is key to dismantle all evil.
History: (At least three paragraphs, one paragraph=6 sentences) Desdemona's rather interesting and morbid past starts off with her parents. Winston Grey, a very wealthy and known potions master, and one Amara Grey, a trophy wife with a taste for money and all the fine things which can be bought with said money. Winston's family were well documented muggle haters, elitists in every sense of the word. Interwoven with the dark arts on every level, Winston's family followed or helped lead every dark witch and wizard throughout wizarding history. Demona's mother, Amara, came from the sort of same family. Muggle haters, the whole lot of them, which it seemed went hand in hand with gold digging. All the women in Amara's family married rich and died the same way, usually long after their husband though. High class and etiquette was the way of a lady and the philosophy forced upon Demona, although much of the servitude was lost on her.
Demona was born first and even though her father hoped for a son, he still welcomed his first born with semi-open arms. She was given the best of the best, though most of the time, all these gifts were presented through the arms of the nanny or maid. Demona's parents weren't about to put their rich lives on hold for just one baby, the first step in Demona's rather dark decent into what some called madness. Without the proper love a child should receive from their parents, Demona became emotionally detached, losing that key component of humanity.
Not long after Demona's birth, a short four years, another child was born, yet another daughter. This of course did not sit well with Desdemona, even at four. She knew she would lose what little attention she did get from her parents and would have to split whatever she got. The second phase of Demona's madness now taking hold. This resentment however, would be put on a hold for year or two as Demona began her lessons with private tutors, the lessons of etiquette and learning forced upon her at an early age. However, time would eventually be swallowed by her growing hate, something which would grow exponentially by the time she was old enough to attend school elsewhere.
Demona was ushered off with the rest of the family to Italy when she reached eleven, in order for her to be qualified to attend a rather elite and dark wizarding school there. Her father had attended and even taught here himself, so the decision was not up for negotiation, as if she would object anyway. The dark arts which were taught at that school only fed Demona's dark nature and led her to some rather twisted obsessions of her own. Pain was the discipline of choice here and after a while, when one experiences enough pain, they either break from it, or find a new way of looking at it...say as pleasure.
Upon Demona's graduation, something very..well...let's just say 'unfortunate' happened. During a private party of just her family, Demona's family was attacked by a group of werewolves.....or so she says. There were signs of wolves around the bodies, but some Ministry officials still pondered the authenticity of those signs. Demona's so called nervous break however, forced Ministry officials to give way to the pressure to the political pull her family name gave. For you see, with both parents and only sibling dead, Demona was the only surviving member of her family, leaving her, now a legal adult, the sole surviving heir to a fortune laced with darkness.
After graduation, Demona sort of faded into obscurity, closing up the family manor and moving away to study the dark arts further, making many dark allies in the process. Last rumor reports her to be in England.....voicing her support for the ideas of the last Dark Lord.
