CHARACTER SPOTLIGHT: FLORA FAUNA BLAKE
Elle's wonderful
Fauna Blake has no shortage of woes suffered
in the line of duty - but she's hardly short on roaring
good times and unexpected
friends. A true Hufflepuff at heart, her loyalty to her friends and flatmates knowns
no bounds! Fauna goes out of her way to make everyone feel welcome, although she doesn't take flack from annoying Head Aurors or smart arses. Dark wizards had better watch out! Don't let those wide doe eyes fool you, she knows how to
deal with the baddies and she's learning from
the best!
Maeve did not expect any sort of retaliation from Fauna Blake. Seven years of complacency from the girl had made it easy to expect that now. Maeve had always believed that the best thing Fauna had been good at was running away when things got tough.Erika's Maeve Whitman in
Two's a Couple, Three's a Crowd... One of those sweet faces, reminded him of how Berkeley looked too delicate to be chasing after the likes of him. It was an advantage the ladies could play well, and fair enough to them.Kit's Lawrence Musgrave in
On HandFauna looked really, really cute when she blushed. It had never occurred to Tia that anyone on level two was capable of blushing. It would clash with their robes or something. But Fauna's pink cheeks went well with her pink pyjamas. What was she thinking about again?Nuri's Adrestia Gamp in
It's a Slumber Party!Fauna Blake had readily agreed to his request, she'd been efficient, and she hadn't tossed her hair once. Maybe her past two years of training had been worth it after all. Sparky's Kurby Bagnold in
The Dog Days of SummerNoah’s bright blue eyes shot up to meet…a face of exquisite beauty. Lips parted, mouth hanging open and eyebrows rose as he stared into the face of an angel. A pretty dark haired tall angel. Mel's Noah Pratt in
Here Come the Pratts
