Physical Description:

Cadance is tall and slender with a modest figure. She stands straight at 5'6" holding herself with an air of confidence and proper posture. You'll never find Cadance slouching even while sitting for hours at a school desk. Likewise she'll always have her ankles crossed like a proper lady.

With her wavy blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin Cadance has a very angelic look to her which only adds to her sweet demeanor and 'proper' attitude.

Her school uniform is always in impeccable shape, never a single wrinkle or out of place crease. Out of uniform she's seen in the highest of fashions, in the haute couture of the Wizarding world with a penchant for corsets. Along with expert makeup and perfectly manicured nails Cadance never falls short of the image of Slytherin Princess.

Personality Description:

Cadance was brought up like most pureblood women. She was taught from a young age about the importance of blood purity and that those less pure than her were inferior. She was treated like a Princess by both her Father and occasionally her Maternal Grandfather, as it was obvious from a young age she would inherit her mother's good looks which would just make it that much easier to marry her off.

She's kind, sweet and gentle and while she carries an air of confidence and superiority amoungst her peers you'll never hear an obscenity cross her lips. Cadance is the image of a proper lady. She speaks when spoken to, and always has a kind word to say even if it is towards those deemed inferior to her.

She is loyal to her house and her brother, accepting his protectiveness like any good girl should. She tends to steer clear of those that have been deemed trouble makers and often has a sigh of exasperation reserved especially for Tiberius. While not an official member of The Monarchy Cadance is everything one would a expect from a Pureblood daughter.

However the Cadance Bulstrode that everyone has come to know and adore over her six years at Hogwarts doesn't exist.

Cade puts up a front with nearly everyone she knows. She found at a young age that if she was sweet as sugar she got more than if she laid on the spice. She hates her family, the entire Bulstrode name and despises her father for nothing more than how he treats her - like all women are inferior and are only as good as the men they are married to. She longs to be free of Hogwarts and the shackles her family and society have placed upon her and has no intention on marrying her betrothed. Cade thirsts for a life of danger and intrigue and finds herself incredibly drawn to the trouble makers and bad boys she incessantly avoids.

History:

Cadance was born August 17th 1993, her mother becoming pregnant with her not long after giving birth to her older brother Tiberius. She was raised alongside her brother by their stay at home mother who was a part of the illustrious Wentworth Clan, a pureblood through and through. It was made clear early on how important blood purity was, views that struck home more with her brother than with Cadance herself.

Though the children were raised alongside each other they received separate lessons in behaviour (while receiving the same magical theory and history) For as long as she could remember Cadance was given lessons in how to be a proper lady and what it meant to come from two rather prominent Pureblood families. She was also being groomed to be the perfect wife, as it was obvious from a young age she was going to have her mother's striking looks. It was insisted upon her that a lady's place was with her husband and that she would only be as good as the man she was married to.

Her mother pampered her and her father adored her but neither seemed all that interested in who was underneath the crystal blue eyes and blonde hair. Even when her grandfather (the Patriarch of the Wentworth clan) visited he went on about how beautiful she was and how they'd have no problem finding her a husband. It wasn't even a thought that she would be able to choose who she wanted to be with.

The only thing Cadance felt that she was doing for herself were her riding (and eventually flying) lessons with her pet Aethonan. The winged horse had been given to her by her Grandfather for her sixth birthday when he was just a little colt. Her mother seized the opportunity to teach her how to ride to improve her posture and when his wings grew in, to fly. After all "it's rather unladylike to ride a broom or travel by floo, and just imagine the impression you'll make when you arrive on a magnificent flying horse."

At the age of eleven Cadance received her letter to Hogwarts just as Tiberius did. For a fleeting moment she believed she could escape the chains she had been in from birth until over the summer her betrothal - to a son of an upstanding pureblood family - was announced. She knew she'd never be free of her parents control and the image the Wizarding world had of her. With her future husband in attendance Cadance would have to continue to keep up her facade while at school.

Once they arrived at Hogwarts the sorting hat took it's time deciding where Cadance would belong. She had the daring and nerve of a Gryffindor, the loyalty and patience of a Hufflepuff, the wit and sharp mind of a Ravenclaw and the cunning and ambition of a Slytherin. Cadance spent the long stretch of time arguing with the hat. She longed to be cut free and be defined as something other than her blood but she knew that her parents would be disappointed if she ended up anywhere outside of Slytherin (the house of Bulstrode) or Ravenclaw (the house of Wentworth) In the end she was placed in Slytherin, the same house as her brother whom barely had the hat on his head before being sorting.

As the years passed Cadance continued to be the perfect lady, the little Princess that everyone had expected of her while her bitterness and anger grew within. She performed well in classes, excelling in wand work, such as Charms and Transfiguration while taking a personal interest in Care of Magical Creatures, which pleased her Grandfather.

In her sixth year Cadance took the NEWT courses set out by her parents, who were more concerned in her being an intelligent well read woman than one that aspires to have a career outside of child rearing. Besides she could easily follow in her mothers footsteps and pick up a throw away part time job once her children were old enough to go off to school. Cadance complied as always and performed well in all her chosen subjects.

In her final year at Hogwarts her facade became harder to keep together. Her mother had begun planning her wedding - scheduled for shortly after graduation - and Cadance felt like her time was running out. During the Valentine's season Cadance was confronted by Charlie about loving him. Though she didn't want to have an actual future with him she did truly love him, enough that she knew he deserved much better but couldn't bring herself to tell him the truth. Instead the pair became intimate for the first time. Not long after Cadance had a one night stand with another Slytherin. She needed a good night, a night to feel herself, her real self and she had found the perfect companion for such a night. One thing led to another and unlike her night with Charlie, she hadn't be using protection.

It wasn't long after that Cadance discovered she was pregnant. She made the decision early on that she would keep the baby but she kept it's existence a secret for as long as she could. Which unfortunately wasn't very long. One night in the kitchens a group of Seventh years were enjoying a break from NEWTs studies when Virgil Carstairs, a legilimens, discovered her secret. It didn't take long before the rumors spread. Thankfully though no one suspected that the father would be anyone other than her Fiance. Charlie became almost insufferable, declaring that he would be the most devoted father any wizard had ever been.

Cadance was suddenly feeling a brand new sensation of being trapped. She didn't want to tell Charlie the baby wasn't his, at least not yet. In May, a tragic miracle gave Cadance her ticket out. With the death of her Grandfather and Xavier gaining control of all of his affairs she convinced her cousin to break her Marriage Contract. Xavier complied and shortly after graduation he met with the Whitmans to offer compensation. Cadance herself had never returned home after making it to Kings Cross station. She stole away to America where she took control of one of her Grandfather's Estates and gained access to a trustfund he had put together for her. She acquired muggle identification and is determined to stay out of the Wizarding eye until the baby's born.     

How Do You Fit Into Your House?: At first glance Cadance doesn't seem to belong within Slytherin. She's kind gentle, well spoken and almost always polite. She's never quick to draw her wand, doesn't use obscenities and often steers clear those that are known trouble makers. However she does have a sense of House loyalty and finds friends amoungst the snakes more frequently than she does with the others. Most believe that she got into Slytherin based on her family name, none being aware of the spiteful little beast that's lurking under the surface.


Sum up your character in one paragraph: Cadance is everything you would expect a Pureblooded lady to be. She does what's she told and never argues. She holds a high regard for blood status but will not be outright rude to anyone below her, often just dismissing the muggle borns rather than instigating them or belittling them. Well dressed with a air of confidence Cadance is the perfect Slytherin Princess and a complete fake. The real Cadance is a creature no one has ever seen who hates the purebloods and their expectations of her. She despises her family and longs to be free, live her life for herself and do anything and everything she can get her hands on.
