<div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/e/e7/BackgroundPadma.jpg)</div><br/><strong>Age:</strong>27<br/><strong>Sexuality:</strong>Lesbian<br/><strong>Blood status:</strong>Pureblood<br/><strong>Occupation:</strong>Former Curse Breaker, Currently at a crossroads.<br/><strong>Marital Status:</strong>Divorced<br/><strong>Children:</strong>None thank Ganesh.  Not that I don’t want them, just that it would have made things harder.<br/><strong>Hobbies:</strong>Photography, dancing (yes she loves Bollywood), puzzles and hiking<br/><strong>Post War Bio:</strong>After the Battle of Hogwarts  in which she fought be her sister’s side she graduated from Hogwarts and moved back to Indian with her family.  Like many of Dumbledore’s Army the Auror’s had inquired about her training to join their department.  She had shown an aptitude for Defense Against the Dark Arts, but felt no compulsion to continue with training after the battle was over.  She had joined Dumbledore’s Army because it was the right thing to do and in her mind was necessary.  With Voldemort gone and the Death Eaters routed she declined the offered training.<br/><br/>Her parents are very traditional and had arranged her marriage to a young strapping wizard, he courted her for a year before she could stall the inevitable for no longer and they were married.  Her husband was not a bad man.  Any young woman would have been happy to have him.  He was good-looking, came from a wealthy family and treated her with respect.  For him it was love at first sight, for Padma it was another lie she told herself and her family.  She lived the lie of a happily married woman for two years before she could no longer take it.<br/><br/>She told her husband the truth. That she could never be the wife he wished her to be.  She cared for him sure, but she did not love him and never would.  Her husband was devastated and her parents distraught.  Her twin sister Parvati said she had known all along and she may well have, but Padma figured it had little to do with her sister’s supposed aptitude for divination, and more to do with the fact that there was little they could keep hidden from one another no matter how hard they tried.<br/><br/>Using her experience from Dumbledore’s Army, her aptitude for arithmancy and defense of the dark arts Padma took a job as a Curse Breaker for Gringott’s.  Her job served two purposes.  It was a lucrative job and it involved constant travel all over the world.  Padma needed time away from family and her ex-husband.  She needed to accept herself or at least begin too and her new job was just the thing.  Padma spent the last five years travelling the world as a Curse Breaker.  During this time she discovered a love of wizarding photography and has taken many wonderful pictures during her travels.  She has just finished up her latest contract with Gringott’s and finds herself at a crossroads.  She can re-up with Gringott’s for another 5 years as a contract Curse Breaker, or take some time away from her job to pursue other interests.  Her sister Parvati, now the Divination professor at Hogwarts, invited her to London for a few weeks for a visit and she decided to take her up on her offer.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong><br/><br/>Now that Padma has come out she isn’t nearly as shy and quiet as she used to be.  In many ways she acts much more like her sister now.  She is more outgoing and willing to initiate conversations now than the shy girl at Hogwart’s ever was.  Her similarities with Parvati however do not extend to her sister’s love of divination.  Padma considers it a silly study and retains her more serious demeanor when it comes to work.<br/><br/>Padma is unsure of what she really wants to do with her life.  She could take the responsible route and continue her lucrative career with Gringott’s or she could use the money she has saved during her employment to pursue her favorite hobby, photography.  This isn’t something she has discussed with anyone not even her sister.  After a long self-exile from love and relationships Padma is ready to put herself out there again, this time being completely honest with herself and her chosen interest.<br/>
