General Information

Character Name:
Alice Elora Ravenstone

Age:
14

Date of Birth:
22 September 1905

Blood Status:
Pureblood

Residence:
Tunstall, Carnforth, Lancashire

Family:
Alice is the eldest of two girls. Her mother is Margery and her father is Thatcher. Her younger sister is Everleigh, and the two are really close.

Personality & House Preference

Personality:
Alice has always been known as an intellectual type, and a people-pleaser. Incredibly polite and buttoned up, the eldest Ravenstone daughter took her role as big sister to Everleigh quite seriously. She’s practical, skeptical, and very organized. She can also be obsessive, insecure, and hesitant. Decision-making is not her favorite, despite being the older of the two girls.

History:
A happy life is what Alice Ravenstone had always known; as the eldest of two girls, she had received all of the attention she could ask for until her baby sister was born. Then, even though they were only a few years apart, she quickly adapted to being the big sister who had to make sure that Ever was always taken care of.

Alice, compared to Everleigh, was meek and mild-mannered. She usually followed in her sister’s shadow, ensuring the girl didn’t get hurt while also cleaning up her messes as if being her guardian had been the reason she existed. It was a stressful job being the calm to Ever’s storm, if she were honest, but someone had to do it and it was better than letting Everleigh get in trouble.

While feeling like she had to make up for the messes Ever made, Alice often found herself attempting to distract their parents when the younger girl did things that got her in trouble. Because of this, she found it even more difficult when she left for Hogwarts before her sister did.

Who would make sure that Everleigh didn’t make big messes? Being away from home, Alice stressed about both school and her little sister. True anxiety developed for the young girl, which caused her to spend quite a bit of time in the Hospital Wing to ingest regular calming potions. That experience made her quite comfortable in the healing environment, and with her (albeit small) experience helping her sister with her scrapes and bruises when they were younger, Alice found that she thrived there. And unlike a lot of her peers, being in that setting didn’t bother her much.

When Everleigh finally joined her at school, Alice felt like she could breathe again. Maybe now she could begin to figure out who she is—without always living in someone else's shadow.

House Preference:
Hufflepuff (1st), Ravenclaw (2nd) -- but really only Hufflepuff

Year Preference:
4th

Talent Point Distribution:
C5D10T5

Roleplay Response

Prompt 1:


Prompt 2:
Running footsteps, panicked breathing, a yell, and a rushed “Sorry!” caused Alice to look up and watch the girl rush towards her and her sister. The girl was a mess – sitting down in a hurry, dropping things from her bag – picking up a chocolate bar from her bag that was covered in dust and crumbs and popping it in her mouth.

“OH MY GOD YOU GUYS, you will NEVER guess what just happened! Ok, like… Ok. So! You know Peter and Sarah have been on again off again? I mean EVERYONE knows that, but yeah. Well it seems that PETER thought they were off again, but SARAH thought they were on.”

Alice raised her brows, picking up a slice of toast from her plate. She pulled off a bit and popped it in her mouth, watching the younger girl, waiting for her to continue her story. The older girl stayed out of the drama – or tried her best to – but she didn’t mind hearing about it.

“So, I just walked in on Peter and NAOMI snogging! NAOMI! Sarah’s best friend! THEN SARAH walked in and all hell broke loose. If we hurry, we may be able to see the aftermath if you want to go watch.”

A shocked look crossed Alice’s face as she glanced over at Everleigh. The younger girl would certainly want to go see the fallout live and in person, rather than hear about it later. Alice, on the other hand, didn’t want to get involved.

“Ever… just don’t get involved, okay?” Alice said, watching her sister for a moment as she and Elodie cleaned up her mess and then took off. The older girl sighed and shook her head, rolling her eyes, before looking across at the person in front of her.

“We’ll hear allllll about it later I’m sure,” Alice commented and laughed, then put another piece of bread in her mouth and swallowed it down with a gulp of milk.
