The bio below was created in conjunction with Lavendar Brown's player.
Name: Parvati Patil
Age: 27
Birthday: August 7th, 1980. Leo
Nationality: Indian/English
Status: Living as a Forensic Crime Scene Investigator Muggle
Familiar: Calico cat named Samiya
APPEARANCE Height: 5'0"
Weight: 98 lbs.
Overall Appearance: Her dark hair falls to mid-back and is often braided into a 'crown' around her head. She almost never wears it down. She usually wears jeans or slacks and a long-sleeved shirt, mostly in dark or neutral colors. She wears no jewelry of any kind, and shuns the use of makeup except in very specific situations. Her clothing is serviceable, picked for function over fashion. She usually has a blank or thoughtful expression.
When she is out of her long-sleeved shirt, one can see delicate scars running most of the way from her mid-forearm up to her shoulder. They are clearly knife scars, and do not seem to be in any sort of pattern.
IDENTITY Personality: Parvati still feels betrayed by Lavender, though she refuses to talk about it. She hides her magical nature and very consciously avoids drinking any sort of tea with loose leaves. Her work as a forensic investigator often leaves her with troubling, miserable nightmares, usually where her old school friends are the stars. Her colleagues call her cold and frigid when they're being cruel, or focused and dedicated when they're being kind. She certainly doesn't seem to care about their feelings as long as they get the job done.
She has a problem with self-mutilation, often bleeding herself in order to keep from going slowly mad. The scars on her arms are evidence of this. She also walks the chasm's edge above blood magic. She may fall at any time, which is why she chooses to live life as a muggle.
Likes: Answers, information, coffee, cats, instrumental music, knives.
Dislikes: Sweets, tea, dogs, loud noise, lazy people.
Sexual Preferences: Unknown at this time. She does not allow anyone to get close enough.
BACKGROUND Proper History: After Lavender's apparent betrayal of Parvati, she trained herself to stop caring about anyone. Although she had graduated with an extreme interest in Divination, she didn't realize she was a True Seer. This information came at a much later date, and to this day has never shown her any information about herself. In the beginning, immediately after Lavender's choice of Mme. Lestrange, Parvati hunted her down mercilessly. She turned to forensics when tracing charms began to fail her. As she studied forensics, she discovered her flashes of 'insight', and at the same time, that as much as she despised the visions sent to her by her Inner Eye, she also had a very handy knack for "speaking with the dead."
In 2006, Parvati tried one last time to kill Lavender. In the end, when Potter arrived, Parvati couldn't quite bring herself to do it. Instead, she led Potter to Lavender's bedroom, coming into a scene where Mme. Lestrange was threatening Lavender. Potter took Lestrange to Azkaban, and Lavender was asked to go with the Aurors to make a statement. Parvati was left nude and alone. It was that night that she began her spiral downward, starting with a single slice across her wrists. The cut was shallow and didn't scar, but slowly, Parvati began to experiment with how deep she could cut herself before the pain became too much.
Parvati shuns fanciful notions of any sort, and studies assassination techniques under the guise of improving her forensic knowledge. She's no longer certain what she will do if the opportunity arises to kill Lavender again.
