## Non-canonical information

### Physical description

Little is said in canon about Pansy's looks, beyond being "hard-faced" or even "pug-faced". This opens the field for a wide variation in fanfiction.

* In *Breath Mints / Battle Scars*, her hair is raven black and long enough to be braided, but she varies the way she wears it from day to day. Hermione eventually comes to see her as "more than a cold, pretty face".

### *Breath Mints / Battle Scars*

In this Dramione story, set in the year after the war with everybody having to retake their last year of school, she is secretly in love with Theodore Nott; Hermione speculates that her tendency to hang all over Draco Malfoy has been at least in part a misdirected attempt to make Theo jealous. Mention is also made of her tendency to cloud herself in "noxiously powerful" perfume, and to wear lace nightgowns. Her parents were sentenced to Azkaban, but she and most of her House year-mates were released pending psychiatric evaluation. When aurors led by John Dawlish of the Crusaders For Justice raid the Slytherin dormitories in February 1999, arresting a number of students for "retrial" and among them Pansy, Hermione saves her from a likely death sentence by revealing her love for Theo and explaining that her fear not just for herself but for him was what drove her actions during (and before) the War. However, in the final battle against the crusaders she takes a curse meant for Theo and dies in his arms. She was cremated and her ashes strewn to the wind, "Fierce and headstrong, just like her."

### *The Power of Seven*

In this story, she initially plans on marrying Draco Malfoy, believing it to be an easy ticket to a comfortable life in wealth and power as the Lady of a Great House; with this goal in mind she helps him out with his plans and even deigns to give him oral sex, having been taught by her mother that for a woman, sex is not a matter of pleasure but a tool to control men. However, after Dumbledore survives the attack through the Vanishing Cabinet, Draco is not heard of again. During the summer, Pansy is abducted by death eaters and taken to a gathering deep in a forest, where Bellatrix Lestrange is roasting him over a fire; when ordered to kill him, her fear of being next in place makes her do it – except that he is protected by a ward. Having thus proven herself capable, she is given a mission to infiltrate Harry's budding polyamorous relationship by sharing Demelza Robins' stay in the Malfoy Manor cellar.

### Minor appearances

* In *Harry Potter: Neko's Mate*, she is the eldest daughter (implying there are more) of Pascal Parkinson.
