Lavinia Sydor

Lavinia Juliet Sydor

~Roleplayed by MelMel ~

"I'm not predijudiced. I hate hate everyone equally."

"There's something wrong with everyone. I'll be fair and admit even I, too, have a flaw-- That I have to endure everyone's stupidity."

History
Lavinia Juliet Sydor was the third child of four born to Flora and Jules Sydor-- although it was her mother who fought for her first name, and her father had to settle for the middle (of which was after his own, in a way). Marigold is her eldest sister, or sibling for that matter, with five years on Lavina. Mason is only one year superior to her, and Emory is two years younger.

She lives in a family of wizarding supermacists and she eventually learned who not to mingle with. She has nothing against muggle-borns, unless you do something to earn her disrespect. That isn't saying much, however. You can earn her disrespect a number of ways- Style of dress, pronounciation, preferences, and being, well, there, in general. From a young age she learned that certain things are acceptable and others are unthinkable. Her parents agreed on that statement-- that muggles were no good-- but not much else.

Her parents argued plenty throughout her childhood, which is why she refrained from asking them for help. She'd be lying if she said she wasn't a little wary in their presence, knowing how angry, how menacing they could be. That worked out fine, though, as her mother seemed to only like nurturing things, like young children and plants (She had always been a Herbology nut, and applied to teach that subject at Hogwarts multiple times, but was always turned down), but wasn't much of a mother after that. Her father was busy with ministry work. If she was ever desprate enough to ask for assitance, she resorted to her older sister, Marigold, or her elder brother, Mason. Although she was often confident she'd figure it out, and when she did, she'd relay the information to Emory.

When she was nine, her parents offically broke off their marriage. It all began with a fight, but had all the more vehemence to it. She can only recall her mother shouting something before she realised her family dynamics would never be the same.

"You don't trust me, do you? Do you!? Get out!" - Flora Sydor

And that was that. Over the course of the next year, they became divorced, argued over what was who's, and who'd care for which child. Jules won custody over Mason, Lavinia, and Emory (mainly because he had the income to care for them), meanwhile Marigold was stranded with Flora. From then on she made a point to go by Jewl, or Juliet, because she no longer had any ties to her mother, and felt it a waste to continue going by the name her mother had given her. Her family had a difficult time adapting to the sudden change, so they instead made a comprimise-- Via.

Personality
Here's one thing you should know about Lavinia for starters-- She doesn't like people. Never has, never will. But she's prone to becoming lonely. Conflicting indeed. Her dread of isolation often overrides her hatred of others. Usually feels it takes too much extertion to pretend to enjoy someone's company, as she honestly does not care what their opinions are, and states what pops into her mind.

She is fact oriented, cold and logical. Perhaps the only truly relatable and human thing about her is that she hopes. She hopes that after another year of sticking it out in Hogwarts, Emory will be her companion again. She knows it's a lie; She knows that he'll get other friends and they'll be sorted in different houses and that they'll, in the end, grow distant. But she hopes.
