Forum:Cecily Calanthe

1) Give a history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. Cecily Calanthe was born to Patricia and Rudolf Calanthe, two middle-class wizards living in Marseilles. She was born Cecil Calanthe, a young boy, who was skinny and quite scrawny and mostly unhappy. From a young age, Cecil knew he was unhappy being a boy. He did not enjoy sports, or playing with other boy wizards his age. He enjoyed arts, dancing, singing and acting. Rudolf would not have any of this nonsense, and woud dismiss his son's sexuality and problems. Patricia was more accepting. She let Cecil attend tap dance lessons at a local muggle primary school, where he was teased because "boys weren't allowed to dance". 

''At age 9, Patricia passed away, from a case of untreated Tuberculosis. Patricia was Cecil's only real supporter and confidante. Rudolf suggested they start afresh. Move to Dover, in England and instead of going to Beauxbatons, he even suggested that Cecil could attend W.A.D.A; almost one of the only kind gestures he showed Cecil. For a while, Cecil was happy. He didn't mind that he was a boy, or that he stuck out. He was happy.''

''Until his father began to turn to drink. Rudolf would be so lost without Patricia. He lashed out at Cecil, both physically and in his words. He used homophobic slurs and crude terms, and Cecil often contemplated suicide. In school, he felt as though he was the wrong gender. He wanted to be a woman because he felt so ashamed and wrong in a man's body. He was teased for being too scrawny, to effeminate. He felt suffocated, in a shrinking room with little air. But Cecil was strong. He rose from the criticisms, finishing at the top of his class at W.A.D.A, and decided that his first order of business after turning 18 was to raise enough money so he could officially change his sex so that he could become a woman and finally not have to feel as though he did not fit in. He raised the money by working at a hairdressers, and decided that he wouldn't mind becoming a stylist himself, for his own studio. But once he raised enough, he finally made the change. Cecil rose, like a phoenix, and became Cecily.''

''Life wasn't exactly easier after the change. People often abused Cecily for her surgery and for her newfound gender. She faced a lot of transmisogny so as a symbol of her defiance to gender roles, she decided to grow a beard, by using a mix of magic and reduction of oestrogen tablets. She grew the beard as a way of showing gender roles that they did not influence her, and that she was her own woman now, no one could take that from her. Cecily advocated and spoke out for transgender rights and opened her own salon, "Rouge Lips: Hair and Makeup Studio", her baby. Life was still hard, but she dealt with it gracefully and her story only just began.''

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? As a child, she was quiet and meek. Unafraid to talk because people would make fun of how girly her voice was. Now, no one silences her. She speaks her mind and makes sure that she is not an object of transmisogny.
