A/N: Jupiter is open for friends, rivals and love interests! So if you’re interested in discussing a plot, hmu!

—

Name: Jupiter Adélie Durand

Meaning: Jupiter – the planet and roman god of the sky and thunder; Adélie – French meaning 'Noble'; Durand – comes from the Old French durant, meaning “enduring,” derived from the Latin duruo, meaning “to harden or make strong”

Fun fact: In Astrology, Jupiter is known to bring fortune, favor, miracles and blessings. Also known as ‘the Great Benefic’, showering us with opportunities for growth, expansion and happiness. Jupiter’s energy is optimistic, hopeful, compassionate and generous and it corresponds with her personality.

Family

Mother: Clelia Bellona Durand née Rovere was an Italian Spy/Auror for the International Confederation of Wizards. She was a strong-headed woman with strong morals. Tasked to keep an eye on the developments in the UK during the Second Wizarding War, she was killed only a few months after Jupiter's birth, leaving behind her husband and two little children.

Faceclaim: Alessandra Mastronardi

Father: Aldéric Mylon Durand is a renowned Dragonologist from France. He is friends with Kaari Arcano and was part of the Phoenix Resistance and helped to smuggle innocent wizards abroad, granting them refuge at Fort Durand. He was devastated when his wife Clelia was murdered by Death Eaters, merely months after the birth of their daughter, Jupiter. But it only made him more determined to put an end to it. After the war and now a single dad, he decided to move to Skalafell to get away for a while, heal his emotional wounds and work with Kaari at his sanctuary. Between his studies and travels, he’d go back and forth between France and Skalafell, taking his kids with him wherever he’d go. The early loss of his wife caused him to be quite protective of his kiddos—so be aware! He can definitely be a little intimating but he's actually just a soft idiot. He recently agreed to fill in the spot of Professor for CoMC—although only temporarily. Offers extra classes on Dragonology for students that are interested.

Faceclaim: Vincent Cassel

Older brother: Elio Amédée Durand, born in 1995, is Jupiter's older brother and is, and I quote, “the cool sibling”. At Hogwarts, he is the Seeker and Captain of the Slytherin team and would later play for the Quiberon Quafflepunchers and the French National Team. He is outspoken and likes to make things awkward. His best subjects are DADA, Flying and Muggle Studies. Huge film and history nerd! And looooves surfing! Although Elio can be a bit of an idiot and likes to tease her, he always looks out for her and loves her a lot!

Faceclaim: Brandon Flynn

Backstory

Jupiter grew up in a wizarding town called Skalafell for a large part of her childhood. Her father had moved them there after the loss of her mother which was an especially hard hit for him. When she was a little older, she would help out at the sanctuary as often as she could, nursing all the dragons, that her father and Kaari rescued, back to health and thus developed a deep connection and love for animals—dragons especially. With the skies so clear in the Norwegian mountains, she would sneak out at night to watch the stars, believing her mother was one of them or more so liking the thought of it.

With her father being a Dragonologist he was bound to travel a lot but he’d always take his kids along with him—well, anywhere that didn’t propose any immediate threat to them. Travels, dinner parties and lectures quickly became part of their daily lives and so did duelling, physical combat and archery (the standard Durand training, also Kaari was a big influence). Jupiter didn’t mind this at all since it granted her many joyful memories of exploring different countries and cultures alongside her dad and brother. They would go back and forth between the fort, Paris, and Skalafell—and sometimes Florence to visit her grandparents. When Elio was 11 her father was asked to step in to teach CoMC which made Elio want to go to Hogwarts too. Jupiter followed his example and insisted to attend Hogwarts as well.

Magic

House: Slytherin (hatstall, almost Ravenclaw)

Best Class: Astronomy, CoMC, DADA

Worst Class: nothing really, she's a good student overall

Prefect: yes

Quidditch: -

Clubs: hogwARTS Club

Wand: Cheery Wood, Dragon Heartstring Core, 13 1/2” Length, Slightly Yielding Flexibility

➔ This very rare wand wood creates a wand of strange power, most highly prized by the wizarding students of the school of Mahoutokoro in Japan, where those who own cherry wands have special prestige. The Western wand-purchaser should dispel from their minds any notion that the pink blossom of the living tree makes for a frivolous or merely ornamental wand, for cherry wood often makes a wand that possesses truly lethal power, whatever the core, but if teamed with dragon heartstring, the wand ought never to be teamed with a wizard without exceptional self-control and strength of mind.

Animagus: –

Boggart: a death eater

Riddikulus: a gust of wind blows off the robe of the death eater, revealing an imp on stilts struggling to balance

Patronus Memory: building a snowman with her dad, Elio, Kaari and his kids, in the midst of a snowstorm

Personality & Attitude

Personality: Jupiter is an imaginative idealist and enjoys spending time exploring her own ideas and values while gently encouraging others to do the same. She's sensitive, caring and compassionate and is deeply concerned with her personal growth. Individualistic and nonjudgmental, she believes that each person must find their own path.

Jupiter tends to reserve her most authentic thoughts and feelings for people she knows well but is quite bubbly and playful when she's comfortable around someone. She likes to explore and express her thoughts and feelings through poetry and occasionally attends slams and plays at the Three Broomsticks. She quite enjoys philosophy and meaningful conversations. Although gentle and calm, she does know how to speak up and, believe me, you do not want to get on her bad side. Also the best person to go to for comfort!

(When she was younger she used to be a bit shy until Rosa pulled her out of her shell.)

Strengths: open-mindedness, diplomacy, adaptability, conscientiousness, empathy and intuition (understands both her own emotions and others), dedication to those she values, self-control, quiet self-assurance

Weaknesses: fairly sensitive and has difficulty accepting disappointment or failure; struggles to share about herself; gets in her head sometimes

Stressors: seeing others in distress (including animals); petty arguments/raised voices; speaking in front of large crowds (but gets comfortable with it over time)

Comfort: sundays, night air, nature, processing her thoughts and emotions in a creative way (poetry or music), animals, her family, her girls, soft and comfy things

Priorities: helping others, harmony, seeing her goals through, personal growth

Favourites

Colours: neutrals

Food: Risotto, Mousse au Chocolat

Drink: Hot chocolate / chocolate milk (plant-based)

Flowers: Ivory Peonies

Literature: anything by Edgar Allan Poe or E. E. Cummings

Music: indie (rock, pop, folk etc.), 70/80s, shoegaze/dream pop, cold wave, chamber pop, classical (especially Debussy)

Weather: rain, thunderstorms, clear night skies but also warm summer breezes

Hobbies: poetry/songwriting, photography, mysteries, animals (dragons), reading, stargazing, playing the guitar/piano, philosophy

Style: casually elegant, neutral tones, french chic, becomes slightly more edgy when she starts hanging around Jimmy more

Relationships

Significant Other/Love Interest: James ‘Jimmy’ Crouch, future Durand @potionboy3 - Although in the same year, Jimmy and Jupiter didn't get close until their 5th year when both of them became Prefects. Intrigued by his ‘tough’ exterior, Jupiter made it her mission to get to know him better which soon resulted in growing feelings. The two became a couple in their 6th year, sometime after Christmas, and continued their relationship until Jimmy took up a job at the Ministry. Jupiter grew increasingly irritated with him for overworking himself and neglecting everything else which ultimately made her end the relationship with him. Jimmy was deeply hurt by it and got involved in not-so-legal activities. The two got back together after Jimmy's trial and conscious efforts to better himself.

Best friend: Rosa Yaxley @potionboy3 - Rosa and Jupiter hit it off from the very first day at Hogwarts and have grown closer ever since. Rosa really is the yang to her yin and she loves her from the bottom of her heart! They often stay up late, talking and gossiping and tend to be quite affectionate with each other. Usually, when you see one the other isn’t far. (Dormmate)

Girl Gang:

Barbara Katz @gaygryffindorgal - Jupiter loves when Barb reads the cards for her—she might enjoy it a little too much. They could literally spend hours predicting the future and listening to music.

Mary Ann von Deyne @endlessly-cursed - French lessons would turn into a party with Mary and they’d just have a great time overall. Admires her for her confidence. Would low-key keep an eye on her when she’d go through her drunken escapades.

Gwendolyn Montague @magicallymalted - Jupiter adores Gwen! She loves her chill energy and ability to ease Jupiter's mind when she gets in her head too much. They’d spend hours just chilling under trees, making art together! They’d be vibing!

Meera Israni @potionboy3 - tbd

Nymeria Lee @gcldensnitch - As she’s also more of an introvert, Jupiter instantly felt connected to her. She talked to her occasionally in their first year and slowly but surely they became good friends. She deeply appreciates her honesty and their cats are besties!! Late-night conversations and reading sessions in the common room are a no-brainer. (Dormmate)

Pandora Lovelace @gcldensnitch - Loves her upbeat energy and fierceness! She definitely knows how to make her laugh. Ngl Jupiter sometimes worries about her and does not hesitate to call her out. Nevertheless, Pandora definitely was one of the leading forces boosting her confidence levels!

Other Friends:

Dafne Arcano @kathrynalicemc - Dafne and Jupiter grew up together in Skalafell. The two often can be found at the library, studying with a nice cup of hot cocoa.

Siv Arcano; Mikael Arcano @kathrynalicemc; Lennox Arcano @endlessly-cursed - They grew up together and basically consider each other cousins.

Dawn Harvelle @potionboy3 - Jupiter befriended Dawn through Jimmy. They share their love for music and sometimes have little songwriting and jam sessions.

Declan Rovere @potionboy3 - They find out they are 2nd cousins in their first year. More loading …

Devil's Snare Members aka Vanille Sparks, Locan Vance, Circe Brattleby, Ethan 'Warsh' Warshaw, Genevieve Cadfellow @magicallymalted - story loading ...

Canon Friends:

Colby Frey - Jupiter bonds with Colby after finding him secretly reading poetry at the library in their 3rd year. They also take care of a baby dragon secretly.

Godfather: Kaari Arcano @kathrynalicemc - She adores Kaari to bits! When she was little he‘d carry her around on his shoulders everywhere. They‘d spend hours taking care of dragons and going for rides. Jupiter would always giggle like crazy when they‘d zoom through the skies.

Godmother: Semele Thorne @endlessly-cursed - Being a strong woman herself, Semele taught Jupiter how to stick up for herself and that softness or ‘femininity' doesn’t equal weakness.

Open for more friendships, rivals and love interests :) Animals: chocolate brown cat called ‘Chou’
