Flora --- Buchanan
Mother. Slytherin. Emily Deschanel. Pureblood. 38
Before she was married Flora was better known as Flora Carrow. Yes like Alecto and Amycus Carrow, distant relatives (not too distant mind you). Fora's branch of the Carrow family was less known, and less wealthy - an unfortunate start for a purist such as Flora. Instead of being wedded off into money and power she got to scrape the bottom of the barrel and find what ever pureblood men were left. And this was how she found Dariell Buchanan, a pureblood who had taken to painting as a career, perhaps not the most respectable but at least it was not a more unsavory choice of work.
They are no love story, at least not on her part. Flora manipulated her husband right from the start, she allowed herself to be seen as something she wasn't and made him fall in love with her thus ensuring that she would carry on a pureblood line. Imagine the nasty shock she got when she came to find out that her sister-in-law was nothing more that a filthy muggle.
Needless to say life has not gone exactly as Flora would have hoped. Tension has always been high between Bryony and Flora. Flora's has constantly been trying to push Bryony into the life she had always wanted for herself one with power, one with wealth, one where she can have a name that means something. But Bryony has fought her mother tooth and nail because no matter how hard she tries to be the perfect pureblood daughter she just cannot see the world through eyes as cold as her mother's.
Of course then Bryony became involved with KAYDEN LEANDER SCIARRIA. Flora's over investment in trying to assure that Bryony didn't mess up an opportunity as grand as Kayden led to Bryony shutting her out all the more because she didn't want her to become anymore involved or invested in what ever it was she had going on between herself and Kayden . Bryony also was doing what ever she could to try and keep Kayden at arms length simply because she hated how he was everything Flora could have hoped for and then some.
It'd be really great to have Bryony's mother involved in the upcoming plots, and more that are to come down the line! Even if Bryony thinks she doesn't need her, she really does need her mother.
If I had to pick five words to describe Flora they would be manipulative, cold, controlling, overbearing, and vindictive. She is a true slytherin (who couldn't have been happier when her daughter was sorted the same) to the core. But there are two sides to every coin, its just a matter of how you look at it.
She had an identical twin sister named Hestia - but she did not survive the battle of Hogwarts.
Father. Hufflepuff. Matt Bomer. Pureblood. 38
Even if she doesn't admit it Bryony takes after her father in many different ways - of course the biggest way is in her art. A passion she shares with her father. Dariell is a painter and has taught Bryony everything she knows about art. Sometimes Bryony thinks art is the only thing she has in common with her father as these days she feels she is starting to understand more and more the way her mother thinks.
Now, its up to you if Dariell loves his wife - but obviously he has at least done his best to try and make the marriage work seeing as he is still married to Flora. I feel as if he was manipulated into falling for her, tricked almost into thinking she wasn't as cold as she has become in their years of marriage.
Much of Dariell is open - but he has a good relationship with his brother, well he did it has been a struggle since his marriage. Bryony is going to end up needing her father's love and support in the months to come as she finds herself fearing that she has lost who she truly is.
I really just would love to have Bryony's father because there is something that I just adore about father daughter relationships.
