Boarbristle Sample: Drusilla Pimpernel

Creating the Character

• Name, appearance, personality, desires and fears: Drusilla Pimpernel, a plain-faced and ordinary looking young woman often found with her nose in a novel. Never suspecting her talent, she is wide-eyed and confused as she learns the ways of the wizarding world. She wants to develop her talents so she can become the heroine of her own romance, while fearing the scorn of those born and raised to wizardry.
• How the character came to the Academy: Boarbristle's recruiters noticed Drusilla's latent talent for witchcraft when she projected strong emotions while reading a bodice-ripping romance, leading to a multi-person makeout and masturbation scene in her college library. When they found the cause, they played on her dreams and made her an offer she jumped to accept.
• Distribute +2, +1, 0, -1 across the Traits: Drusilla's basic Traits are Ambition 0, Bravery -1, Cunning +2, Diligence +1. Her strong point is cleverness, perception and imagination; her weak point is courage and physicality. She's weak in her House Trait of Ambition, so she will struggle.
• Which Academic House chose them: Drusilla is in House Draconis, though her low Ambition makes her the butt of teasing from her fellow House members, and she is thinking of begging for a transfer. Drusilla's House grants the Sex Move of Sexual Healing: When you have sex with someone, on a success (7-10), remove a CONSEQUENCE or make them not your ENEMY. Drusilla may make good use of this, particularly to remove CONSEQUENCES of low Ambition rolls.
• Choosing two specials: Drusilla adds +1 to Bravery to reflect her courage at accepting the opportunity to join Boarbristle, and decides that she has a FRIEND owing her a FAVOR who is another wild talent found in a similar way. Her friend's name is Tim Cratchit, from House Beavertail, and he feels just as bewildered as Drusilla.
