Jul. 13th, 2021 05:18 pm   have you heard the story of the rabbit in the moon? or the girl that sang by day and by night she ate tear soup? | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Born in the height of the First Wizarding War to Irish Wizards Xenophilius and Pandora Lovegood and brought up just outside of the small village of Ottery St. Catchpole, Devon, much of her early childhood was relatively quiet and peaceful after Voldermort was defeated when she was still an infant. The Lovegoods were always known for being the particularly peculiar sort; kept to their own, indulged in wild and fantastical beliefs and conspiracies with utmost sincerity. Most dismissed them, but they didn't really care.
All was well until her mother died in a magical accident — a spell went awry — when Luna was nine, and she joined Hogwarts (and was subsequently sorted into Ravenclaw) as a child marked different than the others. Children are often cruel, and she was subjected to all sorts of poor treatment by her peers, even by her own housemates. Her life was often lonely, and remained that way until Voldermort's return during her third year. In her fourth, she whole-heartedly believed in Harry and agreed to sign up to Dumbledore's Army. In time, she became a staunch ally to Harry — taking part in the Battle at the Department of Mysteries, and the Battle of the Astronomy Tower that next summer, taking on Death Eaters more than twice her age. Her stance as a friend of Harry's, paired with her father's magazine The Quibbler standing as a lone public voice of support for Harry, made her a target when Voldermort and the Death Eaters took over. Just before Christmas 1997, she was subsequently captured, imprisoned and tortured at Malfoy Manor for several months before being freed. As she travelled to Hogwarts on the eve of battle, perhaps the final one, she awoke in the town of Deerington. Initially in the household of Newt and Theseus Scamander, Luna attended the local highschool and took on an apprenticeship under Newt, caring for the magical beasts and pets of the town. She soon enough got involved with the secrets of the town, uncovering much of the past and present of Cynthia Sodder in particular. While stunned and frightened to discover Cynthia's true form as the Moon Presence following the Moon Sickness she'd suffered when she'd first arrived, it was short-lived when Luna realised the true Cynthia would never harm Sleepers and has in fact loved them all, much like a mother would. She soon enough became on of Cynthia's biggest supporters and remains that in the Waking World. She developed friendships with plenty of others, most notably with her peer Peter Graham — who became one of her most transformative relationships over her time in Deerington. Initially one born out of two lonely outcasts helping one another through the difficult times Deerington would bring, they began to lean on one another for comfort and safety, particularly in their time in Rapture — they found they could have the experience of one another's company for their own personal enjoyment following their return to the town. In time it continued to grow into a strong friendship, then into a budding romance. With that, her friendship and love for Peter is what lead her to binding herself to the demon possessing the boy: Paimon, a King of Hell. Peter's soul in exchange for Luna filling the role as Peter's summoner/magician. It has been a strange and difficult weight to carry, but she manages the best she can. As the town continued to deteriorate, thanks to Mother Superior's attempts to get rid of the Sleepers, they soon faced a choice in regards to the fate of the Guardians. While her choices differed to the majority in some cases, Luna chose to Sacrifice the Sodder family and Ramona Derwin. She chose to Awaken the Dog Keeper in hopes of sending him home. She chose to Do Nothing to Mother Superior, not wanting to dignify her with any course of true action. Finally, she chose to Sacrfice herself. In the end, it was her love for Peter which played a vital role in her choosing to remain, in deciding not to 'awaken from the dream' and go back home to the Wizarding World. She choose instead to remain with him (and Paimon) and decide upon a new path with them — setting out on the next 'adventure' together, in the Waking World. |

In Character
• PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Yes! Luna is quite good with physical affection amongst friendly CR: hand-holding, hugs, head / shoulder-pats are okay. She might be a little stunned at first, but yes.
• PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: She's a Glass Canon: high magical offensive, poor physical defense. Physical fights will end poorly in her favour, but she will open a can of magical mayhem so help her Merlin. Minor injuries are fine, but anything more serious requires plotting / discussion ooc-ly.
• ROMANCE / FLIRTING: Pass. She is already spoken for.
• SEXUAL CONTENT: See above. Discussion between peers or very close CR of sexual content is fine. Nothing too explicit, she's still a teenager barely into her first romantic relationship.
• PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Permission required for using abilities on her but essentially she is an open book! Please contact for help / info in threads!
• MAGIC / OTHER ABILITIES: Other magic users / supernaturals may sense she is magical. Permission required for using abilities on her.
• MEDICAL INFORMATION: A little sturdier than regular humans, she can last a bit longer in terms of stamina / endurance and generally has a better constitution and heals a faster unless game mechanics hamper this. In terms of age-span, she can potentially live centuries, but the average life expectancy during mid-1990's for wizardkind is 137¾ years.
• OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS / TRIGGERS: Luna does suffer some PTSD following her treatment at Malfoy Manor, in which she was magically tortured for information / punishment a number of times during her imprisonment. This ordinarily doesn't effect her usually, but can be triggered in the face of extreme anger or rage in others, being the subject of that rage, and facing that rage especially from women. Additional potential triggers could be her safety being compromised when she's vulnerable (ie. sleeping) or being faced with unimaginable pain.
Additionally, due to her CR with Peter Graham and the demon Paimon, Luna has developed a strong attachment to them both and is highly protective of them. Poor / antagonistic attitudes towards demons / the demonically possessed will both earn Luna's loathing of you, and she will generally presume you're a threat. Especially if you have a track record.
Out of Character
• NAME: Cheryl
• CONTACT:
• TIME ZONE: GMT
• PREFS / SPEED: Brackets preferred, prose is fine! I tend to be a bit on the slower side, especially during the summer months due to IRL demands. I do try to get back to people within the week and hit back each thread to the minimum for AC (at the very least) as much as I can, though!
• BACKTAGGING: Always, being the slow bean I am. I prefer to finish/drop threads within three months however, unless they're heavily related to plot-points. I'd rather finish them over dropping them, but sometimes dropping may happen.
• THREAD-HOPPING: Generally fine, but please ask / give a heads up!
• FOURTHWALLING: I'm pretty comfortable with fourthwalling. As I play Luna, she is already aware she's a book-character in some worlds. I'd prefer not to have her told her future, however. Anything leading up to her canon point is fair, however.
• CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR, BUT CAN STILL PLAY: I do get uncomfortable / upset with images of crawling / swarming bugs (ie. masses of ants, maggots, spiders) and would prefer images of this are hidden behind links. Written descriptions are fine, but cw warnings would be appreciated.
• CONTENT I ABSOLUTELY NEED WARNINGS FOR AND THAT I CAN'T PLAY: Nothing comes to mind that would appear in the game setting? I'm fine with horror / dark themes in general.
