The Creation
Name: Gweniveve Delacroix.
Nickname: Gwen, Gwenny (but don’t call her that, for your own safety)
Species: Human.
Gender: Female.
Age & Birthday: June 6th, 1978.
Appearance:
Gwen most certainly looks like her mother – exotic and almost.. wild-looking. Her hair is wavy, to say the least, and no matter how much she tries to straighten it, it seems to always go back. Oh, well, she enjoys it curly most of the time – unless it doesn’t cooperate with her, such as when she teaching, or just trying to get it back into a ponytail. It is a light brown-dirty blonde color, and she has dyed it a few times before, once to a red color, once to a lighter blonde.. She likes to experiment.
Her eyes are almond shaped, and dark brown in color. Her eyebrows are rather sharp, and fit her eyes quite perfectly, right on her brow bone, not too high and not to low. Her face has very profound features, her cheekbones are high and her cheeks are slightly sunken in, while her nose is pointed up slightly. She hardly wears any makeup, unless she absolutely needs it.
She is an average sized woman when it comes to height, about 5’5”, and she has quite a few curves where she needs them. She is, by no means, a ‘twig’, and she doesn’t plan on being so. She enjoys her curves, and if you have something to say about them, expect to face the wrath of her rather shapely muscles. She does teach combat, you know.
Attire:When teaching, or in the presence of other witches and wizards, she wears typical dress robes – her favorite are mostly purple and red tones. However, when she is actually letting her students do a bit of ‘hands-on’ activities where they are actually fighting – underneath her robes, she always has on an athletic-like outfit. When she is relaxing, in her office or her home, she wears simple clothes. She isn’t really interested in fashion, and could care less what brand is in ‘style’.
House (If applicable): She was in Slytherin.
Wand: 11 ¾ inches, Dementor cloth core, rosewood.
Patronus: She doesn’t need one.
Boggart: She won’t admit it – but she’s afraid of a Dementor performing the ‘kiss’ on her.
The Potential
Alignment/Occupation: Head of the Delacroix House at the new Hogwarts, Professor of the newest class at Hogwarts – Fighting and Combat.
Personality: Gwen is… Gwen. There is no other way to describe her. Most of her students either hate her with a passion, or thinks she’s awesome – seeing as how she does have a crude and slightly mean sense of humor. Some enjoy it, others do. She does know how to entertain people, though, and keep her student’s attention. However, don’t get her sarcasm and wise jokes mistaken for being laid-back or anything of the like. She is a hard-ass, and will punish her students quite a bit if they do something wrong.
When she is teaching her students how to fight, she gets very ‘into the moment’. Sometimes, she goes a bit too far, and the majority of her students have been sent up to the hospital wing more than once, but that’s how you learn when you’re fighting… At least, that’s what she says.
She is quite loyal to whom she considers her friends – not that she really has any, because she drives most people off with her harsh personality – but once she is your friend, she is for life. If anyone even thinks about hurting you, she’ll come after them.
Her stubbornness does get her in trouble sometimes – especially with Snape, the Headmaster, and her own father. She can force her hard-headedness down with the Dark Lord – but he’s the only one that has any control over her. Other than that, if she is in an argument with you, she is right… And that’s it. Even when she’s wrong, she’s right.
Skills:
[x]Very knowledgeable about magical beings and creatures.
[x]Witty and intellectual, very good at making comebacks to insults.
[x]Hand-to-hand combat.
Strengths:
[x]She can hold her own in a physical fight…

Weaknesses:
[x]That determination can make her quite stubborn.
[x]Cynical and crude.
[x]Will try to turn anything into a argument and/or fight.
The Story
History: Gweniveve was born to the infamous Vincent Delacroix and his wife, Isabella. Her father, and his well-known family and name, was from France, and her mother was from Spain (little did her father know that her mother wasn’t a Pure Blood), but they lived in Britain to be closer to the Dark Lord. Of course, her father was the Death Eater in the family, and while her mother did what the Dark Lord and her father said, she wasn’t a true Death Eater.
They were a wealthy family – because of what their ancestors had done before them. The Delacroix family is known for having founded and created the terrifying Dementors. Gwen’s great, great, great, great, etc., grandfather was an experimenting wizard – trying to solve the problem of the guards at Azkaban. Before Demontors, regular wizards were used to guard the prison, and that didn’t work out too well. When trying to guard the most evil wizards in the world, the guards needed to be just as bad… But controllable.
And thus, the Dementors were created – giving the Delacroix family world-wide fame. Gwen was born quite a bit after the creation of the Dementors, of course, and by that time, the Dementors and the Delacroix family had been corrupted for the use of the Dark Lord.
She was accepted into Hogwarts at the typical age of 11, and sorted into – you guessed it - Slytherin. There, she excelled in Care of Magical Creatures, a subject she had been studying even before she went to Hogwarts, as she had been interested in her family’s history, and just got into it – and she was also skilled in Flying. She was a Prefect, in her 5th and 6th year, but was unfortunately beat out for Head Girl.
She graduated with high N.E.W.T.’s, though, and got a job in the Ministry of Magic – in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magic Creatures (DRCMC). She was just below the Head of the Department, and was in charge of the Dementors after her father retired. In working in the Ministry, she met another woman by the name of Cassiopeia Thurgoode – a fellow worker in the DRCMC – and the two become good friends.
However, all was not well and good when the Dark Lord started to rise again. Gweniveve had managed to keep her status as a Death Eater under wraps, and still was, but Cassiopeia seemed to suspect something. She never found it out, though – until the massive break out of Death Eaters from Azkaban.
Gweniveve was instantly accused for being part of – as she was supposed to be in charge of Dementor Control – and her status as a Death Eater was found out. However, she wasn’t about to go down without a fight, or at least without bringing someone down with her. In doing so, she betrayed her only friend, Cassiopeia, and accused her of being the one behind it – and accused her of being a Death Eater as well.
Managing to escape in all the ruckus of the Dark Lord’s return, fleeing to become his true servant and taking part in the battle at the Ministry, Cassiopeia was caught and tried – and sent to Azkaban herself. Gwen felt hardly any guilt though, as her father had taught her, and continued to use her control over the Dementors to benefit the Dark Lord.
When the fall of Harry Potter came, Gweniveve was rewarded for her contribution of herself and the Death Eaters, and when the Dark Lord modified Hogwarts – a house was named after her family, and she became the head. The Delacroix House is meant for Half-Bloods only, much to Gwen’s dismay (even though she isn’t exactly a Pure Blood), but she knows that the Dark Lord needs expendable soldiers… And that was she is there for – to train them. It does sometimes pain her to do so… But she will do anything for her Lord. After all, if she can betray her best friend, why can’t she train all of these children to die?
