She is constantly wearing thick black eyeliner, sometimes bright red lipstick, but not much else as far as makeup goes. Her style tends to be feminine and aggressive. She has an athletic build and stands 5'7". <br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Tough, proud, competitive, hard-partying, defensive about certain things, oddly maternal at unexpected times.<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong> The daughter of a Geordie witch named Iris and a man who would be a bum without her mother, Loveday was raised in a completely muggle manner. Loveday's mother, formerly a bright and promising witch of House Gryffindor, had been in love with a Slytherin boy named Peter Malkins a year above her. They both swore to each other their love would overcome the conflicts of their time, but neither the Ministry nor the Death Eaters believed them and they were shunned by their own people. Iris has never told the story of how Peter died, or who killed him, but that she holds magic use as a whole responsible, hinting that Voldemort's followers may have struck the blow but that Dumbledore's people could have stopped it yet did nothing because of his past associations. She swore off the entire conflict and went home, falling to the drink and desperate to forget it all she ended up in love with a local nobody.<br/><br/>Iris straightened out and now holds down a steady job as a bank teller. She had hoped fervently that her talents would not be born again in Loveday, but when the signs began she taught her child to control herself, and gave her some of the wisdom she'd learned from a lifetime of disappointments. She knew her daughter would have to learn to use magic to keep from hurting herself or others, but cautioned her not to get lost in it. Her philosophy was simple - don't take shit from these fools and don't fall in love with any of them.<br/><br/>Loveday wasn't exactly an obedient child, too much time with her dad at home while mom was at work for that, but she listened to her mom when it came to these sorts of things. And so she was sorted into Hufflepuff with a sigh of relief as she avoided the houses that had ruined her mom's life. She found Hufflepuff nicely non-political, but also a bit too meek for her liking. She quickly learned of how to take her aggression out in Quidditch and made the team as a beater her first year. Once she took over as starting beater, Hufflepuff quickly stopped being considered the 'nice' team they were before, and became a team that opposing captains started learning to keep a spare seeker around for after their starter inevitably got taken to the medical tower.<br/><br/>She found her behavior improving quite a lot with Quidditch in her life to work out her aggression with. She also found that she was able to leave any serious rivalry on the field. She talks a lot of smack, jokes inappropriately, and exhibits very poor respect for other's personal space, but she stopped starting physical fights for no reason after she made it on the quidditch team. Despite her mom's advice, she falls in love rather easily and out just as fast. She has a habit of being done with either men or women depending on who she last dated. <br/><br/>Loveday proved to be an incredible student at Defense Against the Dark Arts. Her instincts and some mix of readiness to fight and stubborn refusal to be intimidated, not to mention an unusually strong attunement with her powerful wand, led to her counter charms and attacks being some of the strongest in her class. Her black dragon patronus is notorious for scaring several of her classmates more than the thing it was meant to defend against. On the other hand, she tends to be awful at classes that require meticulous thinking and academic rigor. Despite this she got her shit together in a surprising way and either finally applied herself or got incredibly lucky depending on which teacher your ask - earning enough Es and Os to keep going. <br/>  <br/>Loveday was accepted into the university level of Hogwarts and continued to star on the Quidditch team. Her focus, that very people ever know, is based on her dream of either becoming a professional Quidditch player or an Auror. Her grades are barely good enough to be in the consideration for Auror-hood, but she hasn't given up yet. <br/><br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Quidditch, smack talking, exchanging insults in a heated manner, riding broomsticks, drunken debauchery, violence, almost getting arrested. <br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Gryffindors, Slytherins, ideologues of any stripe, rich people, people who don't drink, people who don't play quidditch. Terrified of failing, ending up a nobody, career ending injuries. <br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> <br/><br/>Mother | Iris Malkins | Bank Teller | 42 | Muggle-Born<br/><br/>Father | Peter Malkins | Drain on Society | 48 | Muggle <br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br/>O - Outstanding<br/>E - Exceeds Expectations<br/>A - Acceptable<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br/>P - Poor<br/>D - Dreadful<br/><del>T - Troll</del><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><strong>OWL Grades:</strong>  <br/><em>Charms</em> - E<br/><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - D<br/><em>Potions</em> - P<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br/><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br/><em>Divination</em> - A<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - D<br/><em>Arithmancy</em> - D<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br/><br/><em>Charms</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against Dark Arts</em> - O<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Eva Wahlström<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong>  Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=270124.0)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong>  <br/><br/>Addison is Loveday's tutor within Hufflepuff. The two are close, but know they are friends and not much more. They have commiserated about their odd positions where one is pressured to be an Auror and doesn't want to, whereas the other would die to be one and it seems a pipe dream at times. Loveday loves her pet ferret! <br/><br/>Audrey receives the brunt of all of Lovedays dislike of Americans. There is a lot of it. <br/><br/>Belladonna is an adorable baby Hufflypuff and woe betide any who do her wrong in Loveday's presence. <br/><br/>Derek had a crush on Loveday in the past. The feeling was not mutual. Things are awkward now, and Loveday bullies him out of a sense of exasperation that he doens't stand up to her more than anything else anymore.  <br/><br/>Loveday and Dior fought a magical duel. Loveday won. Bigly. Later she missed a big test due to sleeping in under mysterious circumstances. The rivalry is not dead. <br/><br/>Dyani had aims to be a rival to Loveday, but Loveday was more aroused than angered and has pinned the girl to the wall at Hogsmeade a few times. Sensing a bit of the bird with the broken wing, Loveday sometimes drags Dyani along to be wild with her. Sometimes it ends just as explosively as it began. Very dsyfunctional friends and sometimes more, these two. <br/><br/>Haley is treated like Loveday's never-not-tormented little sister. If someone else picks on her, Loveday defends her and then turns around and berates her for not defending herself. <br/><br/>Loveday and Joanna were gearing up to be rivals, but a good night of drinking and they came together and are now rather at ease with each other. <br/><br/>Loveday and Nemesis went to the big dance their 1st/2nd year together. Afterwards the relationship just sort of petered out. They're not great around each other now, but far from actively hostile. <br/><br/>Loveday tolerates her fellow Geordie Rex despite his lack of a real accent and chats with him while drunk at the bar sometimes! <br/><br/>Loveday claims to absolutely despise Rhys and talks about his antics in a manner that approaches 'methinks the not-at-all-a-Lady doth protest too much.' The two clash rather fiercely on the quidditch court, and while they keep it to words always make people worry something physical (in one way or another) is going to break out off of it.
