𓆙 Delphinus Nox | First Year | Slytherin 𓆙

Delphinus is a pure-blood witch with long, wavy blond hair and greyish-green eyes. She has a pale complexion and a small mole under the tail of her right eye. When not wearing her school uniform, she likes to dress in Dark Academia outfits, always with her family brooch, a ring with a "D" engraving, and a necklace she sometimes wears for luck.

Delphinus is often seen as aloof and posh, classic of her upbringing. When she’s in a bad mood, she can come off as even more distant. Those who know her better might say she’s sometimes lazy. But when she’s working on her research, she’s completely focused and efficient.

If Xander is around, you can expect the two to bicker, showing a more lively side of Delphinus. Her memory is excellent, helping her in both her studies and when seeking vengeance. Even though she seems aloof, Delphinus sometimes feels lonely and gets lost in her thoughts, which can make her melancholy. She tends to overthink things, leading to dark moments that even her closest friends might not see. Only Xander can sometimes sense when something is wrong and knows where to find her before she completely shuts down.

Delphinus comes from a wealthy, pure-blood family with much power and secrets that most of the Wizarding World doesn’t know. Still, the wealth visible to the public is enough to gain respect and fear. Due to her family’s skepticism towards general education, Delphinus received her early education in a private academy co-founded by other pure-blood families.

Her father, Elio, is the head of the house and a businessman with influence in the Ministry. Her mother, Elara, pursues her artistic passions with the support of both her husband and her maiden family. She runs a charity and manages a gallery with frequent patronage from fellow relations. Albert, Delphinus’s older brother, is rarely home and often abroad with his work as a Trade Liaison for the International Magical Trading Standards Body division of the Department of International Magical Co-operation. To compensate for his time away, Albert often brings home rare or imported collections that his mother and sister are most delighted to receive. As such, the siblings share a deep bond despite their physical distance, and would keep the other updated through owls and floo.

Delphinus is often seen as aloof and posh, as she was told from a young age to hide her emotions to protect her from prying eyes, and to maintain the elegance of the family. When she’s in a bad mood, she can come off as even more distant, though those who don’t know her well may mistake it for her usual demeanor. Around her close ones, however, Delphinus lets her mask fall and becomes more expressive and acts closer to her age. Xander will say she’s just lazy and indifferent towards what she deems unnecessary interactions, and she may actually just be in her mindspace when people drown her in fruitless babble. However, all indifference is lost when Delphinus is working on her research, she’s passionate and completely focused on her task and one can’t expect to distract her then.

If Xander is around, you can expect the two to bicker, showing a more lively side of Delphinus. The two would even quarrel over drinks – Delphinus advocating for teas, especially Earl Grey and English-Breakfast, while Xander swears coffee is the better beverage. Delphinus’s memory is excellent, which helps her in both her studies and when seeking vengeance. Even though she seems aloof, Delphinus sometimes feels lonely and gets lost in her thoughts, which can make her melancholy.

Besides Xander Kensington, Delphinus is also close with Sylvana Viotto, both are from families of similar status. The three grew up together and went to the same academy together. Xander is witty and challenges the norm, which leads to playful arguments with Delphinus. Sylvana is a fashionista and can be arrogant, but she’s loyal to Delphinus and has the strongest dislike of Muggle-borns among the three.

Delphinus experienced her first instance of accidental magic shortly after her fifth birthday. Raised to be polite and graceful, moments of uncontrolled behavior were unusual for her. One afternoon, while Albert was home, the two were drawing together. Delphinus completed a piece she was proud of, and Albert enhanced it with a touch of magical shimmer. Inspired, Delphinus wanted to try, even though she didn’t yet know how.

While she was focusing, Xander burst into the gallery, eager to showcase his new toy broomstick. Unfortunately, however, the young gentleman did not have the most grace coming in and effectively destroyed Delphinus's hard work by skidding to a stop, failing, tripping over paint and paintbrush, and sending all of that right over to the painting. Delphinus, furious, lost control and accidentally sent Xander flying out into the garden, landing him in the rose bed that had inspired her painting. Albert was frozen in shock, only coming back to his senses after Xander flew past, surprised by Delphinus’s unexpected magic.

None.
