Forum:Margo Thompson

Please put ~ here.

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.

Grace Thompson is a woman that has a great love of travel, a weakness for accents, and a tendency to forget to pack contraception when going on trips. One of her first trips was to Ireland, where she met Margo's father, Brandon. Brandon was a typical Irish man. He held a great love for beer, football, had an Irish accent to die for, and was a wizard.

Okay so maybe the wizard part ruined the whole 'typical Irish male', hm?

Grace had bumped into Brandon on one of the many festivities Ireland held; it was her third day in Ireland. Brandon had immediately fallen for her looks, like previous men had. I mean, who wouldn't? Grace was gorgeous. As Brandon - no - they were both quite drunk, they began to flirt. One thing led to another, and Grace ended up the next morning with a horrible headache in a motel, with a sleeping Brandon next to her. Grace, being the lovely woman she was, woke him up. After a few quick apologies and a few other things, she left.

A few weeks after they'd slept together, Grace began to gain the symptoms she'd gone through a few times already. Once she went to the doctor, and it was confirmed she was pregnant, she called Brandon. Their numbers had been one of the few things they had exchanged. By then, Grace had already left for her next travel destination. In that phone call, she revealed she already had kids, and so Brandon, taking pity on the woman he'd slept with, told her he'd raise the child. Grace agreed.

Nine months later, Margo Aoife Thompson was born in Dublin, Ireland, where she'd been living for the past month. Brandon wanted her to give birth in Ireland, so she didn't have to fly their newborn daughter over. Anyways, Grace thought Margo was a beautiful name, and so that was her first name. She'd left Brandon to decide his daughter's middle name, which he chose Aoife, for it was a very common Irish name. Not only that, but he thought it suited her, as Aoife meant life, beautiful, and radiant. They'd agreed that since Grace would barely even see her daughter due to travelling and her kids and whatnot, Margo would have her mom's surname.

Growing up, Margo was very close to her father and half-brother, Niall. It turned out that Brandon had a son not more than a year older than Margo. To Margo, this came in handy, as Niall loved her too much to let her get in trouble. She'd use this to her advantage by causing trouble, and having Niall cover her. Most of the time, however, they got caught. Niall was also the result of a one night stand, like Margo.

Their father made sure both kids knew they were magical, though, by taking them with him on his quidditch matches; it also turned out that he was a beater for the Ballycastle Bats. If they were magical, which Brandon wasn't so sure of, they'd be half-bloods (he didn't know Grace was a witch). He did receive his confirmation when Margo's older half-brother made their fish tank explode. Niall was just seven. Margo, on the other hand, had been so terrified she'd made the nearby windows explode. Brandon couldn't be happier. He made sure his kids grew to love quidditch by teaching them how to play.

Niall proved that he'd be a great beater and was capable of becoming a professional quidditch player, just like Margo, though she excelled as a chaser. By the time the kids were eleven, they were excellent flyers and had a great set of skills in quidditch. Since Niall was a yea or so older than Margo, he received his letter for Hogwarts. Brandon gave him the chance to stay and let Brandon home-school him (as well as expand his quidditch skills), or attend Hogwarts. Niall chose the latter. A year later, Margo received her letter and was given the same options as her half-brother by her father.

Wanting to expand her quidditch skills, she decided to stay. It was a long year of learning spells and training in quidditch, when they had an unexpected visit. It was Margo's mother with all of the children she had at the time. Margo couldn't be happier. Grace answered any and every questions her daughter had with complete honesty, and also introduced her to her half-siblings. Margo grew close to many of them during Grace's visit. Brandon did notice something weird. Margo's half-siblings could do magic. When Brandon brought up the topic, it was then that Grace had revealed she was a witch. While Brandon was kind of upset she never told him, Margo was ecstatic. She was a pure-blood, meaning there was more magic coursing within her than she'd previously thought.

Of course, good things have to come to an end. Margo's mom left with her half-siblings half a month later, with the promise that they'd be back soon.

Six years passed and Margo had finally finished what would have been her last year in Hogwarts. By this time, Margo's quidditch skills surpassed that of her father's, who had recently retired from Quidditch. Her mother and half-siblings, who came to visit whenever they could (which was often), were very proud of her. Especially when the Ballycastle Bats offered her the open position of chaser shortly after finishing her studies, as they had witnessed Margo grow up, and knew of the skills she possessed. Margo happily accepted, and she's been playing for them ever since.

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?

If someone asked Margo's half siblings to describe Margo in one word, they'd all say the same thing. Intoxicating.

Not liking having to follow rules, Margo can usually be described as an.. intoxicating person. She'd rather be free and make mistakes, even if it fucks up the world, instead of being someone forced to grow up, as she knows that's the only way she'll make it in the real world. Making mistakes and learning from those to make better decisions in the future. Despite part of her family's wishes for her to be a mature, sophisticated, and elegant lady, Margo's not like that. She enjoys causing trouble and havoc whenever she's not playing Quidditch. Along with that rebellious attitude comes a short and horrible temper. She's easy to annoy, quick to piss off, and difficult to tame. That's why some of her half-siblings joked that they didn't know if they would hug or run away from whoever managed to tame her..

Margo gives off the wrong first impression more often than not, as she's a bit sarcastic and lets her mouth run quicker than her mind. She's not competitive at all, finding it very immature - even for her. Many people consider that to be what makes her great in quidditch. How can they expect her to score with the quaffle a lot if she's tense? That's why she's quite laid-back. Don't underestimate her, though, as she's always quite focused during the matches.

Margo bottles up her feelings to the point where with just a word, she'll have a breakdown. These are very rare for her and the few times she's had a breakdown, its been while she's alone. Margo does enjoy the company of her half-siblings, and so she can usually be seen around one of them most of the time. She's somewhat protective of them, just as they're protective of her. She thinks that they're old enough to make their own decisions and take the consequences as a true Thompson would, so she doesn't really help them in their problems unless she's asked. If one of them get hurt, though, she'll keep a close eye on them for a bit. As for her older half-siblings, she doesn't like being babied by them. She absolutely despises being babied.
