Personality

[At least 3 each, with the exception of quirks; please try and give details and not just one or two words.]

Likes:
-Success- it means that her hard work has paid off and she can enjoy reaping what she sowed.
-Wealthy men- backups in case she can't sway her father's mind to leave her with the family estate instead of her arrogant, lazy brother. She isn't one to live in squalor.
-Cigarettes- she smokes every now and then, and only when immensely stressed- it calms her down, despite her knowing it's a bad habit.
-Alcohol- it's good to just let loose every now and then.

Dislikes:
-Laziness- one major reason that she doesn't get on with her brother. He seems to get everything without even trying.
-Rowdiness- people who are overly rowdy and loud are plainly off-putting
-Suck-ups- people who suck up to others remind her of her brother

Quirks:
-Corrects other people's grammar often
-Can't stand people who chew loudly

Flaws:
-Sometimes too driven- to the point that she may forget about her friends- their needs, maybe times planned to go out
-Doesn't do teamwork- unless of course she's the leader. She doesn't like to compromise for anyone
-Has trouble just letting go and having fun

Strengths:
- She has no issue in telling people off if they're rude or condescending- she simply won't put up with it
-She's great at flirting- she as expressive eyes and she's surprisingly charming
-She's hard working and not afraid to do extra work to get ahead

Weaknesses:
- Can be flippant to those that she doesn't perceive to be important
- Enjoys alcohol- a little too much sometimes
- Callous- doesn't show her true emotions but prefers a facade of pleasantness
- Dishonest- not afraid to do what she calls 'bending' the truth if needed

More Information

Florentina 'Florrie' Clarence was bought up in an influential family. She was taught from a young age the importance of image and hard work. Her father was always highly regarded for his work in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. While some of the policies that he put forward were… questionable, he was a main figure in the maintenance of many laws, in particular during the second wizarding war- managing to somewhat maintain the current laws regarding muggles and muggleborns. While not muggleborn himself, he respects all magical talent and non-magical beings- so long as the muggles return the respect.

Her mother is also a well-respected woman, she occasionally contributed opinion pieces to the Daily Prophet and enjoyed writing as a hobby. However, she is a wonderful home-maker, the embodiment of a perfect wife. The family is fortunate enough to be rather wealthy, and so while doing some housework, she has help from a small number of House Elves. They make sure to not mistreat them in anyway, simply to do with the fact that they're not a cruel family- they may think of themselves as higher- but they're certainly not cruel.

Growing up as the youngest, Florrie was spoiled rotten. Growing up with two older brothers, well, that was a different story. Boys will be boys, no matter the nobility, and so she was more inclined to what would be considered typically 'boyish' pursuits. As a child, she would race and wrestle with her brothers, and was always fidgety at functions that required her to wear uncomfortable dresses and sit up straight. It always seemed to her that her brothers could do whatever they wanted, while she had to remain ladylike. She didn't see it as fair at all.

And now she's 17, fresh out of high school. She dresses high-class when needed and casual when needed. She doesn't fret anymore about acting ladylike, having matured and realising why it was required in some cases. And now mature, she had a burning thirst for something like what her father has. And, deep down a burning anger. That anger comes from frustration- of working as hard as she could to earn near perfect scores- to being accepted into the prestigious auror-training programme, while her (in particular) eldest brother lazed around, throwing his days away, and her other brother partied, that the family fortune would go to the eldest. While her family was loving, they were still impeccably traditional, and expected her to marry and nothing else. And part of the reason for her being so eager to enter Auror work was to sway them, change their mind so that she would get what she truly deserved. She loved her brothers, truly, but she didn't see them as deserving of the family fortune when all they did was take advantage of it. And she knew that her father thought the same, and it irritated him, truly it did. It was just that tradition was important to the family, and her father had put too much hope on his eldest, Rosso. Time will tell if she ever does get what she deserves.
