What she lacks in curves (she has some! they're subtle! look closer), she makes up for in curls. And that face, which contains that cute nose and those awful lips that have been the full and tender ushers of so many pretty lies. She swings for femme fatale and usually misses. The aesthetic is feral kitten in an oversized leather jacket. <br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Affably amoral. Would sell you for a nice pair of thigh high boots, because she values your friendship and she loves you almost as much as she loves quality leather goods. Dumpster dive for your life. She'll take style over substance any day of the week and, at the same time, can be unwittingly genuine about her own emotions because...Contradictions are fun. Always moving. Not as clever or as cunning as she thinks she is, but still pretty clever and cunning. Will take because she wants and do because she wants to, which can be interpreted as an inherent immaturity and immorality or an inherent drive to live in the moment, but it's most likely all of the above. Niffler spirit animal. (https://gifimage.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/niffler-gif-13.gif) <br/><br/>She's partially invested in higher education because it takes her away from old familiar and her family, she wants to indulge her morbid curiosity, and she's unsure of her career path. Charlatan? Burglar? Honey Pot? Saboteur? And then, of course, there's always the charming option to run away and join a circus. She is, after all, bendy enough for it. One of Babs's favorite lies is that her last name, Velez, is in honor of not too distant Veela heritage. On her father's immaculate side, when she feels daring and spiteful. On her mother's, when she feels less so. The difference between long term and short term relationships is how long she waits before she starts stealing from them. Reads rules so she can break them. Talented at running away from (and growing bored of) the problem she created. <br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong> Her parents were in love. Him from a conservative, commendable, and only coincidentally pure blooded family. Her born from the union of Pure Blood trash and Muggle trash come together. In love and dysfunction. The only way she knew how, so of course, she flit to her tight strung lover like moths to flames and aristocrats to guillotines. But somehow, it worked. <em>They</em> worked. Until Babette crashed the party. Uninvited, as she'd one day be known to do. He was young, and scared, but so was her mother. So she always found hard to figure him. <br/><br/>Her father demanded that they, <em>"Send it back."</em> By charm, by muggle contraption. He didn't care. Maybe he regretted his words once they'd been spoken. Babette would never know because before he could finish his last sentence, her mother shook off shock and howled. Her vulgarities were deafening and flawless, even as she separated far, far away from him. He sent a letter and she sent it straight to the fire. The rest is history. <br/><br/>Babette didn't learn her father's name until she was almost a woman and she'd just as well forget it. <em>Raphael,</em> she chewed, and then spat it out. She didn't need a father. She barely needed, or had, a mother. Her mother, Noemi, had done what she was supposed to and, in the grand Velez tradition, owed nothing more to her daughter. Cousins considered Babette spoiled, because her mother let her come home on breaks (even if, most times, there was no home or mother waiting there for her at all), and waited until she was fourteen to demand she pay her way. That might be way Babette sneered her mother's name with so little bile. And considered her with a good amount of fondness mixed into the resentment and dread. <br/><br/>As Noemi would remind her, "I didn't <em>have</em> to have you, you know. Just ask your father. Oh, right." <br/><br/><em>(Though Noemi insisted otherwise, Babette had begun to believe that it was not so much a mother's love and morality that had driven Noemi to fury. But rather the disappointing realization that the father of her child, and all his family money, wanted nothing to do with them.)</em><br/><br/>Babette ran away from home and school a combined total of seven times. There would've been an eighth, but by then, the tournament had been announced and she'd decided she was in sore need of a vacation. From school, from normal, and from family, most of all. Her clan was all shadowed gazes and slick fingers. Desperation hung around their shoulders and she feared that it floated over her own head, right alongside all that greed and hunger. She was sick of it. There was only room for one crook and that was <em>her.</em><br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Coins, jewelry and shinies, pulling the wool over someone's eyes, getting what she wants, parties and revelry, variety, animals and magical beasts, <em>fun,</em> chaos and discord, pastries and sweets, stealthily helping someone out and thereby preserving her reputation as a Bad Bitch, dancing, being called cute, doing things <em>suggestively</em>, creepy crawlies, sneaking up on people and surprising them and creeping them out, like minds as long as they don't screw <em>her</em> over, <strong>inappropriate</strong> laughter.<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Scarcity, silence, anyone who thinks they're better than her, being outsmarted and/or outsnuck, being left behind, pain, boredom, things that don't benefit her, law and order, responsibilities, being called cute, doing what she should do rather than what she wants to do, other people being selfish at her expense, scumbag competition, pretending she can't speak English (or French, or Spanish; whatever language she's being scolded in, unless of course she actually <em>can't</em> speak it.).<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> <br/><br/>Mother | Noemi Velez  | Extortionist | 39 | Half Blood.<br/>Father | Raphael Deschamps  | Unspeakable | 37 | Pure Blood.<br/>Father's Wife | Danielle Deschamps  | Unspeakable | 32 | Pure Blood.<br/>Half Sister | Cosette Deschamps  | Beauxbatons Student | 11 | Pure Blood.<br/> </div><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>- A<br/><em>Transfiguration</em>- O<br/><em>Herbology</em>- E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em>- E<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em>- E<br/><em>Potions</em>- E<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em>- O<br/><em>Astronomy</em>- A<br/><em>Divination</em>- A<br/><em>History of Magic</em>- P<br/><em>Arithmancy</em>- D<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em>- O<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br/><em>Transfiguration</em>- O<br/><em>Herbology</em>- E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em>- O<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em>- E<br/><em>Potions</em>- E<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em>- O<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em>- E<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><br/><strong>Familiar:</strong>Truffle Velez (http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/41500000/cute-black-kittens-kittens-41556715-960-960.jpg) who she would kill you all and then herself for.<br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong>Luz Pavon.<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong>Ons & Offs.
