Biography:

Moonlight seeped in through the edge of the heavy, velvet curtains, slicing into the dimply-lit living room. A large wooden table was decorated with a grand maroon tablecloth and silver cutlery. A porcelain teapot sat in the center, steaming slowly while candles lined the table, and flames danced from their tips. Eres squinted her eyes slightly, straining to see the colors that hid within the dainty flames.

Blue, purple, orange…red

Beautiful, really.

The young teen lifted her hand and moved a pointed finger towards the candle point. The warmth radiating from the flames caused a slight shiver to travel along her spine towards her toes. She reached closer, the heat became more uncomfortable the closer she got, but the girl didn’t pull away. She was a moment away from the flame, completely entranced by the colors and the way the flame moved, like a form of dance.

She tilted her head, leaning closer. The scent of the candle reached her nose and Eres breathed in deeply. Vanilla filled her nostrils and caused the girl to scrunch up her nose. The sweetness was almost slightly unbearable for her, she quickly moved her face away and returned her attention to her fingertips. She was almost close enough to burn her fingers, she reached closer….almost touching it.

“Eres!”

Her fingers lurched forward and burnt her fingertips, scorching the corner of her fingernail. The blonde immediately pulled her hand towards her, lifting her finger towards her lips and softly blowing on the wounded area. She lifted blue inattentive eyes towards the source of the voices and laid them upon her father. Eres tilted her head slightly to the side; blonde hair tumbled down her shoulder and rested slightly against her temple.

“Yes, Father?”

It was a rare occurrence for her father to address her during dinner, especially when the Herondale household sat around the table, dotting the chairs that had been empty only moments ago. Mother sat beside Father a few chairs away from Eres, while her siblings lined the remaining chairs around her. Eyes turned towards her as Father straightened up, his gaze unwavering. Eres sunk down slightly in her chair, biting nervously on her bottom lip.

“You will be turning fifteen this year…” He started, lifting his wineglass towards his lips and moving it towards his lips. He sipped quickly and gulped, before patting his mustache dry with a silver silk cloth before tucking it neatly back into his pocket. The table was silent, save for the tapping of her Father’s fingers against the dining room table.

She nodded, slowly, unsure where exactly he was going with the conversation.

“And you are my youngest and most beautiful…”

Eres lifted her eyes back towards her father, scanning his emotions with timorous eyes. Where exactly was he going with this? She didn’t like it one bit. Her father tended not to single her out unless she was in some sort of trouble or he wanted something from her. Neither usually worked out in her favor. Father was a hard man, and she was frightened of him, as all his children were. The loved him, of course… but that was simply expected of them; loyal, disciplined children.

“Isn’t it time that you are engaged?”

Her jaw dropped.

She heard a snicker from one of her siblings, and usually would of sent a tongue in their direction, but now…she was completely dumbstruck. Her father wanted her engaged? Of all his children, he had chosen her? The youngest? Of course the older ones were already graduated and courting suitors of their own, but an arranged marriage? She truly hoped that this wasn’t what her father was indeed suggesting.

The Herondales were indeed proud and a very pure family, however they rarely planned arranged marriages unless it was for money.

She paused.

Could that be what this whole thing was about? Her father was simply after more money. The Herondale’s were indeed a wealthy family, but she never took them as greedy. But then again, she hardly knew anything about her father before. Perhaps he could have been planning this from the moment she was born, for all she knew, he cared nothing for his children but a way to gain more.

“And you…you expect me to go along with this?”

He simply nodded.

“You are expected of it, Eres. Your mother and I have discussed this for quite some time, and we have found a worthy suitor…Wealthy too.” He added softly.

His menacing eyes searched her face for a sign of defiance. Eres gritted her teeth and clenched her fists until her knuckles turned white from strain. She had worked hard, incredibly hard to gain approval from her father. She longed for his attention or even a shred of prove that he even acknowledged her existence; but this? This was ridiculous, unheard of.

He licked his lips, a deep frown knitted upon his face.

“You will go along with our plans for you, Eres Your chance of having a decent future depends on it.”

Eres glanced upwards as her lip curled slightly.

“I wont.”

→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request: Gryffindor!

Personality: Eres finds it slightly difficult to branch out on her own and make connections due to constantly having her siblings around her. Her years in Hogwarts have been rather dull due to constantly having to live up to her families expectations and those of her siblings. However, Eres tends to have a rather rebellious streak of her own, pushing boundaries and testing limits. She’s rather thrilled to be coming to Hogwarts this year, simply because her siblings have finally graduated, leaving the young teen to do as she pleases. Eres is generally pleasant to be around, with the occasional teenage mood swings and enjoys iced tea and early morning walks. 

Appearance: Eres is rather pretty with startlingly blue eyes and a pretty little pout to match. She’s rather short for her age, and tends to wear taller shoes in hopes to appear older and more mature. She has waist length dirty blonde hair that lightens during the summer time.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Eres lifted a delicate tea cup towards her lips, her eyes gently shut. She twitched slightly, a grimace appearing on her face. The noise in the great hall was unbearable, cheering and screaming about which team one which game… or something like that. She wasn’t one to keep up with the latest Quidditch news, however when the other students got so overly hyped up, she immediately assumed something or other happened.

She sipped at the tea before gently setting the cup down upon the table. A loud shake shifted the table away from her, sending her delicate china cup tumbling over and spilling tea everywhere. The liquid dripped from the table and onto her lap. Eres immediately sprung backwards and lifted herself from the bench. The other students around her didn’t seem to notice her leaving, which bothered her even more. They were so observed with the stupid game…

Honestly, Eres liked Quidditch, she even enjoyed playing ever so often, however the constant rivalry of all the teams irritated her. It was just a game, she saw no need for such competitiveness that some players portrayed.

The blonde started from the table towards the entrance from the main hall. She could just make out a figure leaving as well, probably just as annoyed as she was. Eres moved quickly, eager to retire to a quieter place. She simply wasn’t in the mood for all this, a bad day… that was it. Eres was having a bad day.

She trotted around the corner, not quite noticing the figure ahead of her.

"WHAT! Haven't you ever seen a loser before? Why don't you just take a picture!"

She stopped quickly, digging her heels into the ground. Eres almost knocked into this kid, and by the looks of him, he wouldn’t appreciate that at all. Her heart soften when her eyes found his and noticed that they were filled with tears. The young blonde smiled softly, her lips curling upwards and dimples burying their way into her cheeks.

“Hey… Its alright. I’m not hear to bother you at all.”

She paused, “The Main Hall was incredibly packed, don’t you think? How about we see if we can smuggle some Butterbeer from the kitchens, hm?”
