Welcome to Potter's Army

We have been a Harry Potter Roleplaying site since 2007. If you're an old member we hope you come check out the discord link provided below. And if you're looking for a new roleplaying site, well, we're a little inactive. But every once and a while nostalgia sets in and a few of our alumni members will revisit the old stomping grounds and post together. Remember to stay safe out there. And please feel free to drop a line whenever!

What’s Happening?
Since every few months or so a few of our old members get the inspiration to revisit their old stomping grounds we have decided to keep PA open as a place to revisit old threads and start new ones devoid of any serious overarching plot or setting. Take this time to start any of those really weird threads you never got to make with old friends and make them now! Just remember to come say hello in the chatbox below or in the discord. Links have been provided in the "Comings and Goings" forum as well as the welcome widget above.

She does exercise to keep herself in good health, but she does not do it out of enjoyment. She does it out of necessity. She loves any sort of peaceful pursuit, and the students at Beauxbatons have come to know she is a nurturing woman of integrity who, most often, speaks gently even when she is being her most stern or is under the utmost pressure.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------


    Early Years: Anais was born on a snowy Christmas eve in the chateau of family friends, born a month early, when her family went to spend the holidays in the country with friends. Her father was delighted that his youngest daughter arrived on Christmas eve and has always said she was his greatest Christmas gift. She grew up as a "girly girl" , and her favorite toys were dolls, tea sets, stuffed animals, muggle paper dolls, and a beautiful enormous doll house that her father bought for her and delighted in furnishing for her. Her siblings, by and large, doted on her because she was so much younger than they all were. She grew up surrounded in love and she has almost no negative memories of her childhood. She is sometimes insecure that she won't be able to be as effective as she wants to be with her staff or students when she cannot identify with those staff or students who have come from harsh backgrounds.

    Hogwarts Years: Anais went to Beauxbatons, as was family tradition for generations. She made friends very easily because of her happy, outgoing personality. Anais was well known for being always, always happy and optomistic. She had to work hard to get good grades, although she was quite bright. Her best subjects were transfiguration and care of magical creatures. She did enjoy broom flying, although she never had any desire to join the quidditch team or do much with it except to use her broom for transportation. During her summers, she worked for a clothes designer in Paris, modeling designer fashions for his customers. He tried to pursuade her to pursue modeling as a full time career, but it was not something that truly interested her. It was during one of her summers in Paris that she met her husband to be, Emile Rousseau. They dated until her graduation from Beauxbatons.

    Adulthood: Anais was married to Emile for two wonderful years. On a holiday in Zurich, Emile was murdered in a dark alley by a mysterious figure in a dark wizard's cloak. She will never forget the man's face because he had a large scar on his cheek and a tatoo of a green cobra on his right hand. Anais heard the crackling sound of a wizard duel and raced to the alley, coming in behind Emile, in time to see the figure strike Emile with a sectumsempra. Anais tried to cast the Vulnera Sanentur spell to heal Emile, but in her panic, she could not cast it properly, and Emile bled to death. Anais blames herself for not being able to save Emile's life, and she knows that his killer saw her as clearly as she saw him. She fears he someday will come to finish the work he started. In her grief, she changed her name back from Rousseau to Benoit. She spent a year living back with her parents. Due to their loving attentions, she managed to pull herself together. She returned to modeling in Paris for a short time, until the offer to teach transfigurations at Beauxbatons came up. She applied and was hired, one of the youngest transfiguration professors the school ever had. She worked her way up through the school's system and 3 years ago was made the Headmistress when the previous Headmistress retired due to ill health.
