࿐ PERSONA ࿐
Personality & Attitude: Quick-witted and audacious, Nancy isn't one to shy away from a challenge—especially when it comes to unveiling the true natures of her acquaintances. If there is one thing that she despises, it's when things remain hidden. She is curious and playful, and while some may mistake her prodding nature for one of a mercurial disposition, she sees it more as a comedic privilege to be the subject of her questioning gaze. In spite of her seeming insensitivity to the privacy of others, Nancy does often know when and where to draw the lines of dangerous territory. When she discovers something too grand for public outing, her thoughts go down in writing.
To her, no idea is too sacred to be questioned, no idea is too fundamental to be scrutinized, and no rule is too important to not be thoroughly tested. She loves the originality of life and when people or things surprise her, as she can often become bored when things remain stale for too long. It is then that she will turn toward her writing, as the diaries that she keeps contain a great deal of intrigue. Nancy, above all, is surprisingly accepting of others and their shortcomings. In an almost twisted manner, she is more often drawn to those that have baggage or things to hide— the flawed people, the outcasts, and the tainted.
Strengths: Public speaking, discovering things, sneaking, swimming, wit
Weaknesses: She dead, secrets, nosiness, relentlessness, provocation
Favorites: Divination, gossip, the color purple, knowing things, ocean water, violet poppies, secrets, quidditch
*Anyone can feel free to reach out if they'd like to discuss a potential plot or relationship!
Friends:
- Rowena Ravenclaw
After her death, Nancy found comfort in Rowena and was the only one that she would speak to for quite some time. Rowena provided a mentor-like support to her, and in the many years to come was the constant friend that she needed
- Zenobia Noke
Nancy took pity on Zenobia as she often suffered malevolent behaviour from her peers. After some students went and hid the girl's gobstones around the castle, Nancy helped her search for them and even provided some light torment to those that participated. In turn, Zenobia also acted as a bit of a physical assistant to Nancy during her time at Hogwarts, helping transcribe her findings on certain things.
Allies:
- Luna Lovegood
In later years, Nancy spent quite some time with Luna Lovegood after growing curious about the "nargles" she seemed to always mention. Just as with Zenobia, Nancy also helped Luna in moments of experienced cruelty, and even provided some tips for her to navigating Hogwarts.
Enemies:
- John and Lewis Faden
Nancy used to be quite close John, though she only tolerated Lewis. Often disliking the way that Lewis seemed to take advantage of Castor, they did not get off on the right foot even though in other circumstances, they might've made good friends. After John ended up killing her with Lewis' help, that was the end of their relations. In moments when John would need to visit Hogwarts, Nancy would grow quiet....
S/O:
- Castor Faden (ex)
Nancy and Castor loved each other quite a lot, but not even the Fadens were exempt from Nancy's snooping. It was indeed how broken down Castor was as a kid that first drew Nancy to him. They were at first good friends, and soon that love turned into a romantic one. Unfortunately, their time together would not last particularly long as Nancy continued to push for discovering things about the brothers that they would've rather kept hidden. Castor was the most heartbroken over her death, dropping out of Hogwarts in shame.
࿐ History ࿐
Nancy’s upbringing was one of solitude. As the only child of a pure-blooded wizard and a muggle living in a house much larger than that which would need to accommodate primarily three people and a small staff, her childhood was largely spent in the comfort of her own imagination as she tried to find ways to entertain herself when her parents were busy—which was quite often. She found herself at first snooping on those that worked in the household and realized that she could get away with quite a lot when no one seemed to notice she was present. People-watching became her favorite game, and the lives of the people downstairs were much more interesting than staring at grass, or even dancing.
In light of the way that Nancy was kept separate from her parents to a degree, she recalled her youth only vaguely and with a perception that “nothing ever happened.” For her, this was undoubtedly true, but not for her parents. Nancy’s mother continued to work as a florist in spite of marrying into the wealth that high wizarding society provided, much to her husband’s dismay and the rest of those who had decided to subtly ostracize her from their collective functions. Arnold was always invited, but it was with a bout of reluctance when what followed was always and is Mrs. Maxwell invited?. Nancy was blissfully unaware of the marital turmoil of her parents as her mother struggled to be accepted and her father seemed to want the woman but not the muggle. Thus, unwilling to forsake the world that he was raised in, he slowly drifted away from her. And Prudence? She began a secret affair that would only just end upon receiving devastating news from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry during Nancy’s fifth year of attendance. Nancy had discovered the affair when she was ten but instead of speaking to her mother about it, she decided to talk about it with the staff who consoled yet scolded her on her “blabbering.” Magic wasn’t anything particularly new to Nancy, as Arnold had prepared her quite early on for what was to come. Prudence on the other hand seemed less enthused about the whole ordeal when Nancy turned eleven and received her acceptance letter, seeing it partially as the ticket toward her daughter slipping into a life that she could never join her in, yet not realizing the rift that was already between them.
While at Hogwarts, Nancy’s snooping habits never ceased. The Sorting Hat actually laughed when it was placed upon her head, easily placing her in Ravenclaw but with the ominous warning of keep your spunk, but watch your back. As a parting gift, her mother had made her a diary with pressed flowers along the spine, and Nancy intended to put it to good use—albeit perhaps not the kind of use that her parents, nor the staff or students of Hogwarts would approve of. Her pursuit of truth, as she claimed it to be, had her spilling the beans on all sorts of trouble that students would get up to, relationship drama, and more. Everything would go down in her diary (which soon became diaries in the plural sense) and what was most interesting was circulated as hearsay. Soon enough, it became apparent that being the subject of Nancy Maxwell’s attention may not have been the best thing to be — especially if you had secrets to hide. John Faden was one such boy who saw her inside information as an advantage, however. As a fellow Ravenclaw, and a prefect, he would sometimes even help her in uncovering things or share insights, eventually acting almost like an older brother figure. Through John, Nancy became acquainted as well with Castor Faden and eventually Lewis, the latter of whom did not get along very well. Yet, Nancy had a certain interest in Castor and his interesting demeanor that she would often tease him was comparable to a wet blanket, yet a comforting blanket nonetheless.
The more that Nancy spent time with Castor, though, the more wary John and Lewis became, believing that it might’ve been an ulterior motive that Nancy had up her sleeve and that they had become her new targets. Unfortunately for everyone involved, they were not entirely wrong. It was no secret that Nancy was curious about Castor (and Lewis as well, but her displeasure with him was of greater standing), and as they grew older her platonic affections for him shifted into a romantic one. Would they have asked, Nancy would’ve kept their secrets private and only for her diaries’ inner pages…but they never asked.
Soon after coming back from Christmas holiday in her fifth year, Nancy caught Lewis performing a strange and dark ancient kind of magic in the Forbidden Forest with Castor and John alongside him. Thereafter, she was intent on uncovering more information about the boys. One day, as Nancy trailed them out to the forest once more, she neglected caution upon turning away and accidentally—and unwittingly—alerted Lewis to her presence. Later on when Castor wasn’t around, he told John what had transpired, much to both of their worry, and devised a plan to put an end to the dilemma. An exploding cauldron just barely missed her, attempting to steal the books didn’t work, and after a shocking hexed bludger came her way during a Quidditch match and landed her in the hospital wing for a time with a bad concussion, John began to have doubts that she would stop, and so he decided to take it a step further to a point he never wanted to go. While Nancy was not exactly unliked by her peers, it was clear that she wasn’t without her enemies and those that would sooner wish her gone. It surprised very few when her body was found in the Forbidden Forest, surrounded by the torn and burning pages of one of her diaries—the diary, that had Lewis or John bothered to read would have gained a greater respect for her loyalty toward them. After the announcement, whispers came about for how Nancy Maxwell died, but one nugget seemed to weave through many of the sentiments: Finally, someone got rid of that nosy, gossiping bitch.
Nancy popped up again as a ghost containing herself to the Astronomy Tower and her phantom presence continued to mortify the Faden boys, even after their physical parting from Hogwarts.
࿐ Trivia ࿐
She was writing a field guide on tips/tricks for Hogwarts at the time of her death. It has since gone missing but she tells students that should they find it, they may keep its contents
She did not speak to any students for the first two years of her death and only began to talk to people after all of the Fadens had left
She was a quidditch announcer for the Hogwarts games from her third year until her death
After her death, she could be most commonly found atop the Astronomy Tower, along the Black Lake, and within Ravenclaw Tower—but watching out for her incessant snooping was always a given
As a last F-U to the Fadens for not trusting her, she implored Zenobia Noke to round up her surviving journals and place them at the bottom of John's trunk before his departure
After many years she decided to occasionally stray from the castle, and even came across John in adulthood
She's always been particularly fond of wysteria
She did not wish to see her parents after she died
She never told a soul about what transpired with the Fadens
Had she lived, she dreamed of—to many's surprise—not becoming a writer, but continuing on with a career in the utmost satirical Quidditch commentating

This is just something that I made to express my feelings. It’s pure angst so like sorry about that. WARNING for mental illness, my characters are depressing. There’s also some wounds as there’s wars happening.

@gaygryffindorgal , you know which are yours so I won’t write you in every single one
Hopefully that was all!
This is your OC captain speaking, aka the person behind all the craziness on this blog, but feel free to call me Luce, or Lucy. I love baking, writing, and editing, and though I'm pretty mediocre at all three they bring me a lot of joy. I really like world-building and have a fun time trying to put the pieces together of unresolved things in stories (aka. what's going on in the lives of the side characters while the main folks are off saving the world). I'm here to have fun and share my musings with you all, and I hope you stick around! Thanks for stopping by.
This is my blog for HP-related OC's. For all other fandoms, check out: @lucesbloodbank
Give me a random Harry Potter era to work with and I will either share an OC from that time period or will create one if I don’t have one. You can give me a general era to put them in, or you can say they have to be the same age as a specific character
If you need help, here is a list of different eras:
No men allowed. This is an only women-focused event. There will be another one of them
Ship and let ship
Be respectful to one another
Try to portray the women in a positive way
Don't be a misogynistic jerk, please
Some things to consider
This applies to all eras (Founders, HPHL, FBAWTFT, Riddle, Marauder's, Golden, MA & Next Gen)
While it's mainly focused on the same OCs, NPCs and canon charas are welcome
Everything is accepted: mood boards, edits, gifs, videos, essays, etc
You can have as many women on the post as you want to, and even make it with separate parts
The event will be tagged with #hpwomenaw
PLEASE tag me in ALL your posts!!
You don't have to make every day of the week, just the one you feel like it
Remember to have fun!!

"the idea was to bring together a group of of remarkable people to see if they could become something more. to see if they could work together when we needed them to, to fight the battles that we never could."
this is the most random edit i've ever made but i decided to play nick fury and put together fankid avengers. obviously i couldn't include everyone i wanted to but i think these five could probably save the world, if pressed.

Hi there! Welcome to my blog. To start I suppose, I’m still getting into the swing of RPing on Tumblr. I’ve been RPing in general on various platforms for about 6+ years now, starting off on the grapevine through minor RP sites, dipping my toe into InsaneJournal and Discord, and also just enjoying writing between friends!
Feel free to send me a note for anything in particular. I'm always open to getting my OC’s interacting in any form that I can, as well as helping OC’s find their perfect career path! My asks/dms are always open to anyone who wishes to send, well, anything really!
