Mother of Heliotrope LeJean. Loch Lomond Merpeople Representative, Trader

Appearance

Tall, slender and long limbed with brown hair. She often grows it long before cutting it off before it reaches her waist. Before coming to live in Scotland she had more of a pallid complexion. She's something of a French beauty gone rugged, living life as she does, although she appears youthful despite her lined face as she ages. Her hazel eyes are like deep pools. Her clothes: shirts and pants that can stand the water, over robes for warmth, rarely dresses.

Short Bio

Danielle was a reserved and quiet witch at Beauxbatons (entered in ’87). She was raised by her maternal grandparents as her mother had her out of wedlock and died from complications to a magical disease within her first few years of Danielle’s life. At school she was very much a wallflower, preferring her work with herbology or magical creatures to the company of other people. She was an average student, never getting high marks or drawing attention to herself. Within her last two years of school she lost both grandparents, her grandmother first and grandfather last, soon after graduation. During her last year of school Beauxbatons was preparing for the next year when a delegation of the school leaving for the TWT, so she had little comfort at the academy with the loss of her grandmother. Being of age and with her guardians gone Danielle traveled north until she eventually “disappeared” around Loch Lomond.

Much like Mirabella Plunkett Hplink.png, who acclimated with the resident merfolk colony centuries before, Danielle soon fell in love with a merman, Kulgor. They would often talk by the shore, Danielle holding her breath for longer and longer periods underwater to better understand him. She adapted her magic for living among the merpeople: prolonged bubblehead charms, warming spells, water sealing, etc. She built herself a hut on a small island in the Loch and warded it to dispel muggles. Danielle and Kulgor performed a Union in the eyes of the clan and for all purposes are married. She later carried his spawn, giving birth to their daughter Heliotrope LeJean. Young (called spawnlings) were raised communally in the Trossachs region, so while Danielle is the closer parent to their daughter assimilating merfolk values, or perhaps her own follies, have left her distant.

Danielle has been on the very fringe of muggle and magical societies. She went to neighboring towns for supplies and one attempt to get Heliotrope a “surface” education before Hogwarts that didn’t go over too well. Trading wizards often come to her to barter for aquatic goods harvested by the colony. Her new calling in life is protecting and supporting the colony the way she can on the surface.
