Maisy is a sprig of a girl, skinny and frail, with gangly limbs and long, willowy fingers, nails hopelessly devastated from an unfortunate habit of biting. She is all her mother's blondes and father's blues, and while she's fairly pretty, thick brows, slighly wide front teeth and an unfortunate relationship with coordination allow for humility.


Image

Image

Image
Maisy grew up with her family in Elm Wood, Norwich, the youngest of five and only the third Norwich Dane to recieve a letter.

Beyond this, Maisy lives the life of a typical eleven year old; dolls and dancing, skinned knees and sneaking sweets. She can be pretty, or messy... soft, or steel. She possesses a vivacious and optimistic attitude towards life (and why not? She is, after all, so young), a girly laugh and a surprisingly impressive throwing arm.

Maisy's father, Michael, works as a carpenter in a small family owned business, her mother, Alice, keeping house and making soaps and scrubs on the side. Her eldest sibling is Charles and beneath him are Hennley, August and Mary.

Apart from Maisy, the only living witches or wizards in the Dane family are her great grandmother, Nora Dane, and her estranged uncle William. Maisy learned of this only after her parents discovered her letter, and Maisy remains incidentally wary, but ultimately enthusiastic about the road ahead of her.

UPDATE || During her first year at Hogwarts, Maisy managed to make good friends with quite a few students - but the highlights of the year were unfortunately clouded by the presence of an older Slytherin boy, bullying Maisy for her blood status.

By the end of the year, however, with the help of a Slytherin Prefect, Maisy was able to confront her bully - and with excitement, she steps forward into Second Year.

Maisy Dane is not what one would expect in a Slytherin, to say the least. It is not her gentle nature or kind, compassionate spirit alone, that set her apart from many of her housemates - but the very fact that there appears to be not a single trace of cunning or ambition in the girl... Yet what others might see as a flaw, Maisy views as something different, entirely.

For in her lack of understanding, she finds curiosity. For her lack of slyness, she finds honesty. Her heart is an open story, the pages of which are filled with joy and excitement, and there doesn't appear to be much at all that can put her off her disposition.
STRENGTHS
  • Charismatic
  • Kind

Maisy Dane - Second Year, Slytherin
Image

PARENTS ||

Father | Michael Dane (38); Carpenter
Mother | Alice Lyon-Dane (36); Homemaker

Image

Michael Dane met Alice Lyon in their senior year of high school. Alice, the youngest daughter of a well-to-do bank owner, had never before dared to defy her father's expectations. So when Michael announced his intentions to date Alice, the aristocratic socialite was hardly swayed.

Michael, however, proved to be an intensely persistent man, and in the end, wooed Alice with his often times ridiculous and overthetop gestures of affection. Neither of them could have predicted the backlash this would cause for Alice, but by the time her family got wind of their relationship, so beyond the fragile lace-like beginnings were that not even the threat of being disowned could separate them.

Alice left home at eighteen, and within a month, she and Michael were secretly married. The first several years of their marriage were difficult ones, wrought with struggle, but in the end no striving could outlast their love for one another, and since then, nothing ever has.

SIBLINGS ||

Charles Dane (17)

Image

Charles Michael Dane, or Charlie, as he's more commonly known is the eldest Dane child. Born a few years after his mother and father's whirlwind union, Charlie was always an ambitious boy, even as a child. A senior in high school, he spends a good portion of his time on his studies and his girlfriend, Amanda, but even with the weight of these factors on his shoulders, he's always managed to maintain a bright, pleasant disposition.

Recently, however, Charlie's attitude has become increasingly more closed off and irritable, and while he seems inclined to keep his issues private, they seem to reflect a new source of stress in his life.

Henley & August Dane (15)

Image

Auggie and Henley are twins, born to Michael and Alice. Precocious troublemakers, they have something of a temperamental relationship, either peas in the same pod, or at each other's throats. Auggie is a rugby player, while Henley prefers football.

Mary Dane (13)

Image

Maisy is closest with Mary, the pair nearly inseparable. Mary was initially devastated when Maisy was sent her letter to Hogwarts, but after a few weeks, took to the idea like a duck to water, deciding it was just 'too cool' that her sister would be learning magic.

Mary is mature for her age - perhaps too mature - and has a rather pessimistic outlook to most things - contrary to Maisy's unfailing optimism.

MISC ||

Pringle (4) Beddlington terrier

Image

Pringle is Maisy's dog -a full breed Beddlington terrier, rescued from an unfortunate situation an raised in in the Dane household. He's quite lazy and a little fat, but loves Maisy more than anything.

Entry 9/26/18 |

Hogwarts isn't at all what I expected. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. When you get a letter by Owl that tells you you're a witch, well... you kind of have to figure the world's gonna be pretty weird. We're living in a castle. An honest to God castle! With secret passageways and towers and a dungeon... And there's ghosts! Not like... scary movie ghosts, but really neat ones that'll stop and chat with you in the halls. Except the Baron. He kind of freaks me out. He's the ghost of the House I got sorted into, Slytherin. Not sure how I feel about it, really... but everyone says that it's not as bad as all that.

I wonder though, if that's just one off those things people say to make you feel better. Like... when you get a really bad haircut and they tell you it'll grow out. Anyway... first day here, I met a really cool kid named Yvaine - he goes by Eevee, and get this... he LOVES Pokemon. Me and Eevee, we're gonna try to figure out how to get his DS up and running, but I'm not so sure it'll be possible, see... cause at Hogwarts, nothing electronic works.

But who knows, right??? Magic is pretty cool.


Image

Entry 10/15/18 |

Homework is HARD! I can't believe that I'm doing things like spells -in- class. I totally threw my wand across the floor the first time I tried a Charm spell. Luckily the teacher is really nice, even if his spider is a little spooky. I really enjoy all of my classes, though I'm not so sure the professors like any of us very much. Except for our Flying teacher - he's great ! And kind of dreamy... ღ


Image

Entry 10/17/18 |

So... someone gave me a letter today in the common room that... well, it wasn't very nice. I was upset at first, but I think I'm gonna try to do what Mum says and make the best of it. Still... I wish I understood what made people the way they are. Why someone would wanna threaten to make my school year bad, just because I'm not from a big wizard family like they are.

They want me to write to the Slytherin paper... but I don't know if I will or not.


Image

Entry 10/28/18 |

I did it! I wrote to the paper. Only I didn't write what they told me to. I really hope I don't regret this... I'm kinda scared.


Image

Entry 11/16/18 |

Hufflepuffs are the BEST! Can I just say it? I lost a picture today in the Great Hall and a Hufflepuff boy named Constantine (he told me to call him Stanley, but honestly, I really just like his regular name so much!) brought it back for me. He and his family raise these dogs... Crups, I thing he called them? Anyway, they're like magical dogs with sharp tails! I really hope I get to see one, some day!


Image

Entry 1/09/18 |

Sorry it's been so long! Winter break came up so fast! It was so nice being home and seeing everyone. Charlie has a girlfriend! Her name is Amanda and she is SUPER pretty... but I dunno... something's off with him. He was really snappy with Dad and Mum says it's just a phase, but I feel like it might be more than that.

Auggie's rugby team is doing amazing, too! I got to see videos from his last few games. It was wild, being away from Hogwarts though. No magic, at all! They all asked me what I can do, but I told them I wasn't allowed to use magic outside school. I did NOT tell them about the letter. I hope they don't ever find out...


Image

Entry 3/25/18 |

I don't like the boys in my class. The older ones, anyway. Today, they tried to tell me that there were fairies in this really old tree out on the grounds, and I almost got SQUISHED! Worst part is, Constantine was with me and he got hurt, too. It wasn't bad, but I feel terrible. I wish I could just find a way to tell the difference between the good ones and the bad, you know?

My wrist hurts really bad, but I think it'll heal... I'm just so afraid I'll get in trouble if I tell anyone what happened, and I really really don't want that!


Image

Entry 4/19/18 |

I don't know what to do. Luke won't leave me alone, and I'm kind of scared. He told me that people like me don't deserve to have friends and that if he sees me hanging around with anyone, he'll make sure it's the last time anyone ever wants to.

I've been avoiding everyone, and I think Constantine knows. He saw me, today and he looked really hurt...

I just wanna go home.


Image

Entry 5/01/18 |

Constantine found me at the lake today, and we talked. I've been so stupid to avoid him. I think it's time to stand up to Luke. I just wish I knew how to, without getting anyone in trouble...


Image

Entry 4/5/18 |

I met a one of the other Prefect boys today. His name is Sebastian. He's a little scary... Really intense. The sort of way you expect a Slytherin to be, you know? But he offered to help with Luke, and I think he meant it. He told me I belonged here, and not to let anyone tell me otherwise...

His eyes are the color of the moon. It's kind of freaky, but cool...


Image

Entry 5/31 |

So... there was a ball in school, right? For the spring festival, and one of the boys in my class, he apparently went MENTAL and started throwing fire at people. He got in really huge trouble, but it made me think... What makes a person go bad? Is it the things they're taught, or the expectations people have of them? So many people look at Slytherins like we're ACTUAL snakes, and I guess it makes me sad to think that people might actually become evil, just because it's what people tell them they're gonne be.

I don't think Charles (that's the boy's name) is evil... I think maybe he's just confused. I hope he doesn't get expelled.

An AMAZING sketch!
