    Appearance:

    Blonde, blue eyed, and short. Nephele stands at five foot exactly, meaning while she is short, she is not too short. Prior to her husband’s epiphany she would wear nice, fashionable dresses, but now she almost exclusively wears traditional wizarding robes. Her wand hand is her right hand.

    History:

    1858 | Nephele is born. She is the third child of Edric and Katharina Selwyn, as well as the third daughter.

    1862 | A son is born to the Selwyn family, and he is named Kimon. Nephele does remember this, and she finds the whole experience just so lovely. She loves baby Kimon. He is cute.

    1864 | Aged six, Nephele experiences magic for the first time. She slips while walking down the stairs, and before she can start falling forward, she floats safely to the bottom of the stairs.

    1865 | Another baby (and the final baby) is born to the Selwyns. It is another girl, and she is called Noelle.

    1869 | Nephele goes to Hogwarts, where she is sorted into Ravenclaw. She finds her house suits her well, being a studious student.

    1873 | At the start of her fifth year, Nephele is named prefect.

    1874 | Nephele sits her OWLs, and does very well.

    1876 | Nephele completes her NEWTs and leaves school.

    1877 | A match organised by her parents, Nephele marries Livius Thicknesse. The same year, she finds herself pregnant.

    1878 | This year brings Nephele not one, but two children, as she delivers twins, a boy and a girl she names Livius (after his father) and Laurentia.

    1881 | After only four years of marriage and at the mere age of 25, Nephele finds herself a widow as her husband dies.

    1883 | Kath meddles in Nephele’s life and she is soon married off to her cousin Priam. She is very happy with this situation.

    1884 | People die. Lots of them. Idk who. Ask Soph.

    Nephele also births her third child, a boy called Odysseus.

    1885 | Orestes, Nephele’s brother-in-law dies in some ministry accident. His four daughters are left to Priam and Nephele. She doesn’t really mind this, even though there are now more children in the house than one can shake a stick at. One of the girls, Hilda, dies in a freak accident.

    1886 | Priam nearly dies in India, and comes back a changed man. However this change is not for the better, however Nephele does her best to try to deal with her husband.

    1887 | After dealing with Priam for so long, Nephele is now properly sick of his shit, but doesn’t know how to deal with him.

    Personality:

    Quiet. Kind. Introverted. Family oriented. Bookish. Calm. Pushover. Polite.
