### Biographical

#### Personality

> Darcie has two sides to her - there is the side that she showcases freely, and the side that is her true self, and she only showcases it where she is supposed to, and with whom. It's no secret about who her family is, so she doesn't try to hide that at all, but she will not willingly talk about the things that she, herself, or her family, has done. At most, many people know she's involved in shady business. She's worked hard at building connections and a reputation, though most of it is a lie. Don't ask, don't tell is a real quote to live by if a person wants to be her friend. She had to pretend to be something she's not or she would have never made it through Hogwarts, though she has an inkling of a thought that some professors, or even the Headmistress, could not be fooled. Her true personality is listed below, though some might know a different side of her, the side that is outgoing and fun to be around, not the one that sees no issue in torturing if someone messes with someone she cares about.
>
>

##### Positives

> Darcie is very loyal to people that are within her circle - namely, her family. Some friends or family friends are exceptions and she will be loyal to them. Darcie operates on a loyal-until-you-prove-otherwise rule. She will not be made a fool of after someone has broken her loyalty once. She is very intelligent and crafty, which is how she has gotten as far as she has. She's been studying magic and fighting and crime since before she could go to school. It's all she knows. She is very driven, and not lazy in the slightest. Darcie is almost always, if not always, doing something related to something bigger than one might see. Darcie is naturally charming, and people seem to be drawn to her, despite who she is and her family ties. Patience is something she holds dear because she loves making people sweat with how long to wait it out before she sees vengeance through.
>
>

##### Negatives

> She is not a very empathetic person at all - everyone has a certain hand they are dealt in life, so deal with it, and make the best out of it. She doesn't have time for people complaining about woe is me. Darcie is very cunning and deceptive, so it is incredibly difficult to actually know what she's thinking or planning because she seems to always be operating ten steps ahead with every potential outcome thought up and through. She has a harsh temper when it's struck, and though she is slow to get to that point, you don't want to get her to that point. She struggles with jealousy - and though she doesn't hold the same emotional connections towards people that others develop, she likes having the attention be on her if she does develop that connection. She's a real bitch when showcasing that jealousy. True to her career, she lies about everything as if lying is first nature.

#### History

##### Family History

###### The McGinty Family

> The origin of what is now known as the McGinty Crime Family travels as far back as the 1920s, back to the first head of the family, Cassius McGinty.
>
>
> Cassius McGinty, born to Aurelius McGinty, an angry squib with a mean temper, and his wife, Juniper Hargrave, a free-spirited witch, would have never thought that through time, he would pull himself out of the way that he lived. With two other brothers, a father that was constantly disappearing for periods of time without notice, and a mother who held no real ambition in life, they were constantly having to find ways to feed the family, and fighting along the way. By the time he was 6, he was learning the ins and the outs of how to manipulate people for some money or food, if he wasn’t helping his brothers pickpocket or steal from whatever and whoever they saw.
>
>
> When Aurelius was home, he would spend much of his time getting drunk off anything he got his hands on, which generally led to his abuse of his family. On more than one occasion, the beatings went too far and the injuries too deep, but no one said anything as it was up to the family to deal with what was happening behind closed doors.
>
>
> Cassius was the last of the brothers that was accepted into Hogwarts, sorted straight to the house of Hufflepuff, where he thrived under the leadership of various professors. His time at Hogwarts was filled with him learning how best to get away with things, and his summers were filled with him working any odd job he could get in order to make some money for his family, as well as following in the footsteps of his older brothers as they continued to steal anything of value. Cassius was the better of the trio when it came to it because most, when they saw him, would have never thought that he would be the “bad brother”. Cassius was simply the smartest and he understood it that if people were paying more attention to him being a good person, than the bad things happening around them, then he would still be the least suspected.
>
>
> It worked well enough for him after he graduated. Together with his brothers, they worked their own method. They were the brawn, and he was the brain. Pickpocketing and robbery turned into murder when one night, Aurelius came back home and had used up all their money for alcohol. He was in a drunken stupor when Cassius, overcome with rage, beat his father to death. It was the one time that anyone in his family had truly seen his temper, but it awakened something deep inside.
>
>
> Their criminal activities continued, with Cassius taking point over his brothers, and together, they started to get more involved in various ways to make money, most of which were illegal, or soon-to-be. It wasn’t until the 1920s when they started to pick up business a bit more. With a shop as the front to their illegal work, and the start of the Global Wizarding War, they took full advantage of the distraction. While everyone was putting their focus and concern on Gellert Grindelweld, the McGinty brothers were extorting businesses, muggle and magical alike, preying on their weaknesses. It hadn’t lasted long before the eldest McGinty, skilled with magical beasts, was finding ways to smuggle them in, and discovering that there were people, especially potioneers, willing to pay a hefty sum for what he could acquire.
>
>
> From one thing to the next, the brothers moved, finding which areas were more lucrative than others. With the eldest McGinty and his skill with animals, the middle McGinty and his skill with potion making and transfiguration, and Cassius with his socialization skill and businesslike mindset, they started to make a name for themselves, though no one quite had the proof that was needed.
>
>
> Towards the end of the Global War, and the height of the business that he and his brothers had built to where the McGinty family was building notoriety, Cassius had married Tullia Lightbody and they later had three sons, just as Cassius’ parents had done. At first, Cassius didn’t have much to do with the family as his own business was thriving. It had grown to including smuggling creatures, extorting certain public figures, counterfeiting, and the like. Gambling and collecting owed money from those that borrowed money they couldn’t afford seemed to be the most lucrative part at the moment. Cassius oversaw the potential harm that needed to occur in the event that money was not paid back by the due date, something he took much joy in.
>
>
> Cassius started to bring around Clyde, his youngest son, to show him the ropes as soon as Clyde was old enough to walk, talk, and go to the bathroom, just as he had done with his oldest sons. His expectations on his son were substantial, but he wouldn’t lower them. As the leader of the family through his hard work and passion for power and more money, Cassius built the McGinty family to what it is known for today. It had expanded to include a prostitution ring and a stronger gambling and betting ring while he manipulated people and situations to grow the wealth the of the family.
>
>
>
> Cassius noticed that Clyde was a lot like him, and he had been absolutely thrilled. Clyde was selfish and harsh, and had a knack for violence, as shown through the many fights that he found himself in. He had gone to Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw, and through his studies at the school, as well as the studies in his personal time, he was set on maintaining the family business. After graduation, he had found his niche within the family business. Unlike what he had thought it would be, following after his father’s footsteps and taking over the operations, Clyde noticed he had an inkling for the unresolved violence that he felt flowing through his veins.
>
>

###### The Tolentino Family

> Imelda had a tough life growing up. It had seemed as if bad luck was to follow her wherever she went. Her birth had been a difficult one, and that wasn’t even including the fact that she had been two months early in a time period where early births were not dealt with in the safest of ways. At each of her milestones, she was much smaller than she should have been, as well as behind developmentally. She walked late, talked late, and hit important growth spurts late. On her seventh birthday, her father was killed in a freak accident involving a hippogriff, and she witnessed the whole thing.
>
>
> When she was 9, one of her siblings died when they had been playing with fire and it got out of control. Imedla was supposed to have been babysitting them at the time while her mother was trying to earn money for the family. Instead, Imelda had gone off with her neighborhood friends, wanting to play with them instead. The guilt of this accident would follow her through the rest of the days of her life. Less than a year later, another sibling was mauled to death by a werewolf when Imelda and her sibling took a late night stroll to get some fresh air when their mother was sleeping.
>
>
> Two years later, just after Imelda had started Hogwarts, her mother took her own life, and that of Imelda’s youngest brother, blaming her hatred for Imelda. Her belief was that Imelda had been cursed from the moment she was born since Imelda, as she would write in the letter, was the product of an affair that her mother had against who she thought had been her father. Death was a better fate, her mother would claim, than waiting to see how life wanted to take them out.
>
>
> Feeling more alone than she had ever felt in her life, Imelda went through school, focused on her studies and avoiding any kind of relationship with anyone around her. It was safest that way, she figured, because her young mind started to believe that she really was cursed. She took a particularly strong interest in Potions, followed by Arithmancy when she had started that class.
>
>
> Depression had hit her hard as she got older, but it was those two classes that brought her the most peace because they took the most of her time and focus. They brought her into a new reality…a better one. She stayed busy, because it was easier to stay busy than to make friends and have people find out that she really was cursed. Rumor had spread about her family tragedies soon enough, and she no longer needed to worry about avoiding everyone as it seemed like everyone started to avoid her now.
>
>
> When she had graduated Hogwarts, she was desperate for work, though only managed to find work as a shady Potioneer’s apprentice. She would take anything, even if she didn’t quite understand what he was doing on the side. Her number one qualification, she had later realized, was the fact that she had no one to miss her if things turned sideways.
>
>
>
> It was through her apprenticeship that she had met the most handsome man she had ever met. For her, it had been love at first sight, if ever there was such a thing, despite her strong desire to avoid close connections.
>
>

###### Parents' 'Love Story'

> When Clyde had met the beautiful Imelda, it was her beauty that first caught his attention. Even though he had been sweet on another at the time, he found himself attracted to her. She turned out to be the first woman that he struck out with, though. He had been the in-between man, the one that would collect the potions made for them to distribute, only because he had a deep distrust in most people. He was a man that would rather do everything himself, and oversee every part of the family’s operation, because too many hands in the cauldron made a bad potion.
>
>
> He went about his life after the meeting, courting another, while thinking occasionally of the one woman who had turned down his advance. His concern was always, first and foremost, spearheading and advancing the work that they did, while making any evidence surrounding them disappear. People had their thoughts, and some things certainly pointed towards them, though the evidence was never solid, and that was all he cared about.
>
>
> It wasn’t until the potioneer had gotten sick and she had to run their side of the operation on her own that he developed a stronger appreciation for her. He could tell that she was attracted to him, though he couldn’t figure out why she was so against the idea of a simple date. He finally got her to agree to go on one date with him, but the catch was that it would only ever be one date, and nothing more than that. It took a lot of persuading before she agreed to the terms. It ended up not being the only date they would ever go on as he pursued and courted her.
>
>
> Imelda never thought that she would have given him the time of day, despite her strong attraction that was pulling her towards him. He was cool, handsome, intelligent, and everything that a person would be attracted to, but she knew that she could never let herself. Believing she was cursed, she never wanted that fate for him, though the more she saw him, the more of a pull she felt towards him. She didn’t fully know what his family was about, but she knew it wasn’t good, and still, there was a pull. It was exciting and made her feel alive, something she hadn’t thought she would ever feel again after the last of her family had perished.
>
>
> One date was all she agreed to, but she found that one date wasn’t enough. Before she knew it, one date turned to one more, and then another, and another, until she was agreeing to marry him. Maybe she had been fooling herself, but she convinced herself that he was tough and not an easy person to kill, so maybe, just maybe, he wouldn’t succumb to the curse that she felt was upon her. She found out she was pregnant just before they got married, and for the first time in many years, she found that she was honestly and actually happy. The happiness was quickly followed by fear, as she was petrified that if she really was cursed, her baby wouldn’t survive this world.
>
>
> She found an anonymous grief counseling group that she had joined in the muggle world, wanting to be as far from her magical one so that no one she knew would actually see her struggling. Desperate to heal from things of the past, she found that the group actually did help her, and her fondness for muggles had grown. She wrote her first ever article as a muggle sympathizer just after the birth of her daughter, and surprisingly, it sold.
>
>
>
> Clyde continued on with the family business, following in his father’s footsteps as they had a reputation to build on top of. It was the life for him as he provided for his family through mostly manipulation and deceit, and definitely violence.
>
>

##### Early Years

> What is a child, if not for childhood? A childhood that was missed when it came to one Darcie McGinty. All work and no play, as many have stated, did not make a dull child. Rather, she was forced to mature too fast, learning more about the world, and the dangers inside of it, than any young child should know. While the others her age remained blinded to a world that was too unsafe for them to know about, comforted by fairy tales and love, her eyes were all too open. Knowledge was a powerful thing, and there was no room for childish behaviors. In this world, the one she was brought up in, childish behaviors got a person killed, or worse.
>
>
> From birth, she was brought along with her father while he dealt with various issues, which she had not yet understood. Her mother had been busy writing one opinionated article to the next, leaving her potioneer days behind her as she developed and nurtured a new passion. All Darcie understood was that in this family, she had certain expectations set upon her, and there was no room for error. As the granddaughter of an infamous man, she had a lot of expectations put upon her, and responsibilities to the family that she was born into.
>
>
> She was 4 when she saw her first murder, which also became her first memory. Her memory might remember it slightly different than it occurred, but she wept, and was subsequently punished for it. Crying was for the weak, and she was a McGinty. McGinty's were not weak. A part of her was petrified of her father after that, though her fear transitioned into respect as he brought her up under his wing.
>
>
> She was 10 when she cried her last tears, learning, and now believing, that it did make her weak. She might be learning a lot still, but she knew that she was not weak. Her days consisted of waking up early to train, because physical endurance was just as important as magical. Protection came in many forms, and she needed to be the most protected.
>
>
>
> Her mother, she discovered, was just as tough on her as her father was, which had surprised her. As she had spent most of her time with her father and her siblings, she had been unaware that her mother was just as involved, just in a different way. Her mother wanted her children to be tough, because it meant that they had a chance at "surviving this world", so sympathy in her family, when she just wanted to be a kid, was hard to come by.
>
>

##### School Years

>    Going to Hogwarts hadn't been ideal, but she needed to learn magic. With very strict instructions as to what her years were going to look like, she excelled. Everything she did was her operating based off of an unwritten checklist. Make friends. Be social. Find all of the ways to escape. Face fears and win. Appear normal. She wasn't normal, though, and people who knew her name, likely through their parents, knew that. She was a McGinty, and McGinty's were not a family to cross.
> **Rule #1**: Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. Look at everyone as a potential enemy.
>
>
> > It wasn't as difficult as one might think to make friends when children are stupid. She knew better. They didn't. Children became friends with the monsters because they were too naïve to believe that monsters couldn't be tamed. At first, she did struggle to make friends, because she hadn't exactly had the experience of spending a lot of time with other children her age. However, she was very skilled at watching those around her, and mimicking their behavior. She had been learning that all of her life, and now, she could finally put it into practice.
> >
> >
> > A couple months into her first year, and she finally felt like she was getting there with the first rule that her father had given her. Allies would important one day, but it was important to know that they needed to care more about her than she cared about them. Darcie didn't quite understand what was meant, but there was a small part of her that felt like it was nice to build different friendships, even if they were all fake in the end.
> >
> >
> >
> > Darcie learned balance, and through her friends, she learned the appropriate way for her to act.
> >
> >
>
> **Rule #2**: Blend in.
>
>
> > As soon as she nailed down the friend part, blending in wasn't so bad. Find a subject to hate, find a subject to love, complain about studying too much, obsess over quidditch. Charms had easily become her favorite subject, along with Transfiguration. She was obsessed with the idea of changing one's appearance in any way. Potions was far better in theory than practice. In theory, it was a breeze. In practice, it took her quite a bit of additional studying for her to keep up with her classmates.
> >
> >
> > Duelling was an easy in for her. From the moment she saw her first duel, she knew that she had to be involved in it. Aside from the fact that it might be useful for her one day, it was actually something she enjoyed for herself. She loved the competition, and she loved being better than those around her. There was a certain adrenaline rush that came through it, having to predict what another person was going to cast, and preparing for the worst, that she sought after.
> >
> >
> >
> > Quidditch was another passion she picked up, though this one was more because everyone idolized the quidditch players, than her actual interest. She could feign it enough, and she practiced and trained as if she did love it like the rest. It's quite easy to pretend, she realized, because people tend to only see what they want to see. She liked quidditch, though she knew from the start that she was not meant to have a career in it when she was to go back to her family, just as she had every break, until she graduated, and then, it was to her family that she owed her loyalty.
> >
> >
>
> **Rule #3**: Partial truths are better than full lies.
>
>
> > It's not always easy to pretend to be someone you're not when everyone already knows your name. They've heard the stories. They've seen the arrests. Though few things were actually proven, whispers of gossip are sometimes more damaging than the actual truth of the matter. Though in that case, perhaps not. She was, by no means, a stupid child. She knew that some would see her family and assume the worst, and they would likely not be wrong. Her family was more than that, though. There was a method to the madness, and success was the only option.
> > The best way for her to keep her story straight was to make it something that was partially true, or something that she could believe to be true. The deeper the lie, the harder it was to keep straight. Lying became second nature, but she could thank her friends early on for pointing out her tells. Kids were naïve, even on such a short period after war. Sometimes, she would even lie about things that she didn't lie about, just to give herself more practice. Practice made perfect, and she shot for nothing less than perfect. She learned it all - don't fidget her fingers, don't look off to the side, don't give too many details, and don't giggle nervously.
> >
> >
>
> **Rule #4**: Boredom is not an option. Always have a purpose to everything you do.
>
>
> > The training never stopped, even if she was no longer under the watchful eye of her family. Though, she suspected that they had their own set of eyes watching her at the school and reporting back. Sometimes, they knew things before she even told them. Darcie was always doing something. If she wasn't building her relationships, she was participating in group activities so people saw her. If she wasn't participating in group activities, she was studying book after book in any nook and cranny that she could find at Hogwarts. It was never the same place twice in a row, because she knew to avoid routines. If she didn't want to be found, she wouldn't be found. Even watching after her siblings, when a couple eventually joined her at school, was an activity.
> >
> >
> > There were many times where she would escape away, reading book after book on occlumency and legilimency, even going as far as finding a way to sneak into the Restricted Section. Maybe not now, but soon, she knew that she would be in a world that tried their best to break down what her family built, and she was going to be ready for them, just as her family had trained her to be. They wouldn't use her thoughts against her family, if she had anything to say about it. She did watch after her siblings to make sure they weren't falling prey to what this school could have taught them, forgetting how they were brought up.
> >
> >
> >
> > Physical endurance was just as important, which was, again, something she had no particular routine for. She was working out, training, fighting. Knowing enough people at school, she always knew who to go to for what it is that she wanted to learn, which only served her purpose of learning what she needed, while building onto a relationship she was learning to have little to no care for except for when she needed it.
> >
> >
>
> **Rule #5**: Don't forget what is expected of you when you return. You are a McGinty above all else.
>
>
> > It was hard growing up in Hogwarts when everyone else around her was enjoying their time being kids, while everything she did seemed to be already decided for her. She was glad, though, that with her being away at Hogwarts, she started to develop a stronger relationship with her mother. Although her mother wanted her to be tough and protected, she knew from the stories that her mother had missed out on a lot at Hogwarts. Darcie liked being able to talk to her mom more about some of the fun things at school, including the friendships she had made. Even though she knew, deep down, that they had to be fake, it was still nice and she always had a lot of stories to share.
> > It was all to end though. She knew her place in this world, and she was excited for it, even if she had some of her own growing up that she had to do. At the end of the day, even with all of the friendships she made, she knew that if it came down to it, she would betray them in a second, because it was to her family, and herself, that she was loyal to first. If she did well enough, she was on her way to having important roles within the family, though even she would have to prove herself. It was a good thing competition was deeply set in her heart, because she was set on winning it.
> >
> >
>
> **Rule #6**: Logic, above all else. Emotions are for the weak. You are not weak.
>
>
> > Originally the hardest rule for her to follow, but ultimately becoming the easiest, Darcie knew that this was going to be her greatest struggle. Emotions were natural, and were what ran the world. It was what caused many leaders to find their downfall, and she was not going to be one of them. She liked when things made sense and if they didn't, she would find a way to make it make sense. She spent years trying to get power over her emotions, through all of the teen drama, and she succeeded.
> >

##### Post-School Years

>    Darcie graduated school and moved straight to working with her family. She followed in her mother's footsteps when it came to her passion for potion making, so she oversaw the product that they were taking in before distribution, even going as far as testing it on certain test groups to make sure it was what they had wanted. At this time, one of her siblings got sick with Spattergroit, and they had been pulled from school. However, her body had a difficult time fighting off the disease and she later died from it months after being diagnosed.
>
>
> Heavily involved with her family, she took a job as a worker at one of the businesses that operate as a front for their real business. Taking after her father, though, Darcie found that she was happiest when she was getting her own hands dirty, and took the lead on torturing and murdering a man that had stolen from the family. What should have affected her in some way, didn't, and she knew then that she was truly ready for this life. She learned the trade of extortion through her grandfather, and smuggling through her grandfather's brother, and violence through her father. She didn't have time for a personal life anymore, but she was okay with that as she wanted to prove to them that she was capable of being in charge.
>
>
> When she was 20, her mother was killed after a particularly harsh article had been written about the need to extinguish the mindset of pureblood purity, and calling out the prejudices of the families that would only breed within their blood. It wasn't the first opinionated piece that she had written, but it was certainly the last as she had been murdered merely a day after it had been published. The family had mourned deeply, and for a while, Darcie had been forced to take on more roles as her father grieved.
>
>
> Darcie knew that she would need to focus more on her training when it came to Occlumency, studying under an instructor multiple times a day, because with everything that happened, she knew for any kind of payback, she needed to make sure her thoughts were protected. Now the head of the house in terms of womanhood, she started to take on more of a role to make sure that her siblings would be just as fiercely protected as she had felt when her mother was around.
>
>
> At the age of 22, her criminal acts had finally been picked up and she found herself at the Ministry of Magic as a suspect. They had a strong case against her, and she knew it, but with enough power as her family had, the evidence disappeared and the witnesses vanished, and she regained a fresh start. It had been a long battle against the Ministry, though she never cracked under pressure, and soon enough, she was walking freely out of their custody as the case completely unraveled.
>
>
>
> Learning from her mistakes that had gotten her caught in the first place, and angry with the Ministry for what they had put her family through, she was more determined than ever to show them their error in going against the McGinty family. Eventually, the real killer had been caught, which was incredibly disappointing to her, but her family was yet again fully cleared of wrongdoing. Darcie used the time to purchase a popular club where they could go about expanding their business under the nose of the ministry.

### Connections

#### **Family**

###### Clyde McGinty (father)

> She's a daddy's girl, through and through. Since she was a baby, he has been taking her along with him, mostly because of his deep distrust in people. It's how she learned the business young, and excelled. She deeply respects him, and loves him unconditionally. In public, their relationship comes across more serious and business-like, but in private, they have a playful and witty banter back and forth and she can call him out on things that she couldn't do in public.
>
>

###### Imelda McGinty (mother)

> The woman that Darcie is practically the spitting image of - Mellie was killed less than a year after Darcie graduated Hogwarts in January of 2018. Their relationship was strained at times when her mother was jealous of Darcie's close relationship with Darcie's father. As Darcie aged and was away from home more, her relationship with her mother grew closer as Darcie was able to talk about the fun parts of Hogwarts that she enjoyed, while she couldn't necessarily do that with her father. Her mother was a freelance writer who often spoke on the future of the nation being mixed blood and for the prejudices of pureblood purity be extinguished before her untimely death.
>
>

###### Weston McGinty (uncle)

> Her favorite uncle and probably favorite relative, she looks up to him the most and he is one of the few that can actually be upfront and honest with her, no matter how blunt. She followed after him a lot when she was younger, and old habits die hard.
>
>

###### Siblings

> She's the oldest, but she's constantly fighting with her younger brother who feels cheated out of the role that she plays, despite her being older. They love each other in their own way, but there is a lot of brutal tension in their relationship. At the end of the day, though, they really *do* love each other, and would kill for each other. They have the 'no one can disrespect my sibling except for me relationship'.
>
>
> Her relationship with her second brother is less business. He's young and trying to find his way in this business while still being at school. She's a bit sweeter on him though since they don't argue as much, and one would see a typical loving sibling relationship where they'll goof around and have fun, right before she kicks his ass in hand-to-hand.
>
>

> In some ways, Darcie feels like she needs to be her youngest sister's 'mom' figure since their mom died, so they don't always get along since Darcie is not a mom type figure and their sisterhood is a little strained. They're actually quite close, though, and tell each other everything (well, as much as everything as they can, since Darcie keeps many things to herself for the safety of her siblings not knowing).

#### **Friends**

###### Guinevere Yaxley

> Nothing more than having a werewolf around for some added benefits if she so sees fit. She has big plans for a werewolf, though it will be a while before it comes through. Winnie is someone that Darcie does like a bit, though she finds her to be rather unfortunately weak. Darcie believes that she can mold her to perfection, though, and for that, she will look after her like family.

###### Elliot Travers

> More allies, than friends - Darcie rather enjoys Elliot and finds him to be someone useful to maintain allies with - that is, until his unfortunate and untimely death.

###### Ariadne Mikos

> What originally began out of curiosity to see what Elliot's obsession was with Ariadne, and wanting to use it if she needed to, she finds that she actually enjoys seeing and talking with Ari when she does.

###### Dane Harrison

> She is rather undecided on Dane, so at the moment, he is more of an ally than not, though that can change at any moment. She knows his career, and knows that she must be careful around him. Not too careful, though, because he looks like he will be a fantastic shag.

#### **Romance**

###### Dimitri Alexander

> They had a relationship once upon a time back when they were much younger, but she still loves to flirt with him when she sees him and wouldn't mind repeating the past.

>

#### **Enemies**

> The Ministry as a whole are her enemies, as well as those that attempt to shut down what her family has built. Anyone in competition, really, too.
