## Relationships

* Timothee Volant
* Jean-Pierre Volant
* Babette Moreau
* Elise Beaufort
* Jacques Moreau
* Linette Volant

They are happily married, at least on her end, and he keeps his disappointments to himself, feeling that he should be content in what he can get. He gets as much as she is able to give. She was not shown affection as a child, and so struggles with expressing intimacy, being somewhat awkward and reserved. She does not like PDA, being private, and does not like addressing issues, though when she does, she is blunt and serious, while to strangers she would be cleverly coy about her negative feelings. They were matched up as children by their respective families, they grew up together, and she was always the one in charge, and only ever put in effort to make someone happy, outside of her family, with him. She is content for him to be a stay-at-home parent, to clean and cook, while she works overtime. He listens while she rants about her theories, and shares her work with him, not caring about the rules as she views him as loyal and unthreatening, like a dog. They disagree about parenting, with her being strict and admonishing him for making their child soft. She doesn't really care about his feelings, but since he rarely complains, when he does, she quickly deals with it in a firm way. She pretends to appreciate his romantic gestures, feeling she has to put up with some basic things to keep him around. They rarely fight, unless him nervously bringing up an issue with their son and her shutting him down by putting down his intelligence and useless ideas. They are a generally quiet and boring couple, with her not often being present, and him being comfortable with how things are and not being optimistic or brave enough to want to change his life in any large way. She is as fond of him as she could be, as she considers him as family, property, and her responsibility. He is the only person she is ever truly intimate with, and even then she does not like being vulnerable often as it makes her uncomfortable and she feels she is ugly inside and thus wishes to hide her deepest self. Deep inside she sees the world in black and white, seeks validation and the approval of her father, and simply wishes to fit in and be accepted and seen for her worth. He cherishes any gesture of affection or openness as it is rare and she usually only does it to please him, without any real feeling behind it. She is very emotionally unavailable and so a true smile or laugh is rare and thus cherished. He admired her brilliance and how she lit up with passion when talking about her field of interest. He was never truly ambitious, wanting to live peacefully and simply, and was very happy to be a father and a supportive husband. He wanted to feel needed, and the fact that he was the only one who really knew her well made him proud, made him feel special. He loved doting on his son the way he secretly wished his wife would. Being a martyr runs in his family, and he was raised to suffer in silence and that personal sacrifice is the epitome of nobility and that people would admire him for it. He tries to think that his wife and son see him that way, and glows with personal satisfaction whenever his wife shows she is content with him. He wanted his son to have an easy and peaceful life as well, and so gave him all his love and attention.

She never wanted to have kids, viewing it as an unnecessary distraction from her work. She got pregnant and tried to get an abortion, but wanted to prove that she was skilled enough to handle work and parenting. She was quite absent, being a workaholic, and left the parenting to her husband, Timothee. She had high expectations for her son, and wanted to use science to program him into a superior child than any other. She overloaded him with lessons, expected perfect composure and obedience, disapproving of weak and irrational displays of emotions. She was never very maternal and did not care to bond with her child, only caring that he made her look good, was not an idiot or sheep, and did what she wanted him to. She was very stressed and angered by his rebellious stage as a teenager, and cared about how he affected her reputation by not being proper, though she agreed with its ridiculousness. She had children late compared to her peers, feeling like she should get it over with as it was an expected obligation, and that it would not be too much trouble.

## Personality

Aveline appears very well put together, she is calculating and patient, though surprisingly struggles with being impatient. She is mysterious, sultry, and secretive. She is demure, coy, and charming. She is frank and straightforward when it comes to what she wants. She acts without hesitance and with certainty. She is very private and a good liar. She is not the most moral, being guided by personal gain and curiosity. She wants recognition and fame. She wants to be better than everyone else, and is usually the most clever person in the room. She looks down on those less important or intelligent than her. She is cleanly and organized, punctual and judgmental. She is brilliant, creative, and experimental. She is not inhibited by social customs, but follows them in appearance for ease. She has many regrets and so has made it a habit to take advantage of every opportunity and to only look towards the future. She does not care about personal danger or risks and so is brave by lacking caution or appropriate fear. She does not mind threatening or manipulating people to get what she wants, but is against cruelty or evil that does not serve a greater purpose. She is like a mad scientist or politician. She wants what she wants and will do whatever it takes to achieve it, regardless of cost, tending to go with her gut desires instead of thinking through the potential consequences. She enjoys showing off and telling people what to do, as she likes to be in control and to do things herself, the right way. She is often in leadership positions because she is proactive and productive and driven. She is not the most empathetic, but is not outright rude or mean, simply sarcastic and defensive, and gets ruffled at people not respecting her. She is quite shut off due to sexism and being underestimated, and so can seem quite bitchy or unladylike in wanting to prove herself as superior. She is racist against muggles and does not care about them at all, preferring to worry about her personal superiority, not that of wizarding society as a whole. She has toxi femininity and internalized misogyny in that she is brilliant, but feels the need to prover herself to her peers due to insecurity and lack of recognition. She has had ideas stolen, been ignored, and faced others being rewarded instead of her. She keeps it to herself, but she can be quite jealous, greedy, and vindictive. She wants to feel as special and talented as her father made her feel, but he only did so when she did something right or better than average. She feels like she is never good enough, and so acts like she is the best, never mind that she probably is, but her arrogance is not from true confidence. She keeps to herself, and talks firmly and loudly, for fear of not being respected or listened to, so she becomes a reclusive bitch, though with a veneer of polite charm, using sufficient restraint. She feels the need to live up to her father's expectations, having an inferiority complex and constantly comparing herself to him, hating to fail or be a disappointment or to publicly struggle. She tried to appear perfect all the time, but in what she perceives as perfection, meaning beauty and poise, authority, power, genius, and effortless talent far surpassing her peers and even elders. For all her talk, she secretly wishes she was born a man, to have that advantage, recognition, respect, and to not have been an inherent disappointment to her father. She also secretly wishes to never age, as her beauty is a weapon, but became happier after she did, as she was seen more for herself and less as an object, and was taken more seriously in academia. She is a complicated woman, deceptively straightforward. She is not easy to interact with, is confusing and contradictory. She is by no means a bad person, but is morally neutral and ambivalent to the larger scheme of things, unless she has a personal stake. If she disagrees with something then it must not be true, if it does not impact her directly then it must not matter. If someone thinks they are smarter than her, then it is because she is a woman and they are a fool. She bases the success of her marriage on her own satisfaction, her pride in her son on how her performs on her expectations. She cares what others think of her when it impacts her fame or recognition. She is contradictory and objectively sad, but is only able to see things in a certain way, and so views herself and her life as a success, and tries to keep it that way. Those who first meet her find her charming and witty, those who work with her know her to be harsh and unpleasant, while her family finds her to make a great deal of sense and to be uncomplicated when she wants nothing from you. Though not inherently deceptive, her guile streak comes from defensiveness and life among tricky aristocrats and posturing researchers. When it comes to her own work, she has no patience for either dawdling or silly excuses.

## Possessions

* **Wand**: Walnut and Dragon Heartstring
	+ According to Garrick Ollivander: "Highly intelligent witches and wizards ought to be offered a walnut wand for trial first, because in nine cases out of ten, the two will find in each other their ideal mate. Walnut wands are often found in the hands of magical innovators and inventors; this is a handsome wood possessed of unusual versatility and adaptability. A note of caution, however: while some woods are difficult to dominate, and may resist the performance of spells that are foreign to their natures, the walnut wand will, once subjugated, perform any task its owner desires, provided that the user is of sufficient brilliance. This makes for a truly lethal weapon in the hands of a witch or wizard of no conscience, for the wand and the wizard may feed from each other in a particularly unhealthy manner."
	+ Dragon heartstrings produced wands with the most magical power, and which were capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tended to learn more quickly than other types. While they could change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bonded strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tended to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it would not incline that way of its own accord. It was also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental.
