Former/Other Characters in the RP: Toris Laurinaitis / Lithuania
Character Information
Name: Chocolat Meilleure
Canon Origin/Series: Sugar Sugar Rune
School Year: 2nd
Gender: Female
Age: 12
Out of school living location: Avignon, France, a small cottage / workshop with her Grandfather (on her mother's side).
Blood status: Pureblood
Personality: ♥ Chocolat is short-tempered and extremely feisty. No one can pick on Chocolat because she never gives them the chance to, spitting out a wave of insults or a quick kick to the shins faster than a word can pop out of someone's mouth. Mischief is her middle name, and is a firm believer in rule breaking and loopholes. If it impedes her process, then it doesn't need to exist. To her, there is always a way around something, or she'll just blatantly break a rule because they stop her from having whatever fun she's cooked up. Chocolat is a fighter through and through. Be it over a trivial matter or to defend something, a small war of venomous words or a scuffle, she's just about always ready to throw down.
♥ Most everyone upon meeting Chocolat assumes that she's rude, which....she really is. She has no real respect for elders and views them more as people who are set to cut her down when she's doing her own things. She's extremely blunt and forward in most situations. She's been called cheeky, saucy, crude, and flippant by multiple people on more than one occasion.
♥ Adventurous to a fault, Chocolat is almost constantly exploring or finding something new to do. Running around, finding an animal to play with, exploring a pond, climbing hills and cliffs is all in a days work for Chocolat. She constantly seems to be getting into something, and more often than not it lands her in trouble. She's notorious as a trouble maker and a spit-fire.
♥ Along with her almost compulsive need to find something to do, Chocolat is extremely rash. She thinks things through her way and sees no need to argue the point with anyone but herself, often simply following the beat of her own drum. Not think things through is often what gets her into trouble.
♥ While Chocolat typically wears pants and shorter skirts so her legs can be free, she's got a nice fashion sense. She wears high end apparel and knows how to look good. It's not particularly on purpose though. She recognizes cute things, but she just buys what she likes.
♥ Chocolat, though she talks tough and is rowdy, is extremely thoughtful and kind to friends. She constantly tries to help those in need and isn't afraid to extend a helping hand to someone in need. Her personality helps her make friends quickly this way; most seem quick to forgive her sometimes obnoxious mouth and unladylike demeanor because of her heart of pure gold. Chocolat is comparable to an annoying toddler in some ways: you just can't seem to really dislike them for long because their purity and innocence and genuineness wins you over in the end.
♥ Chocolat holds love at a very high value. Though not a romantic, Chocolat knows that love is extremely important and is very interested in the love of others. She's been known to help out a couple in crisis a time or two and because she hangs out with more boys than girls, girls will often times come to her for advice on certain guys likes and natures when they fancy him. Chocolat is always more than happy to help out her girl friends. Chocolat is cautious before feeling anything but friendship for guys as true love is something that can only happen once and will only fall for someone she knows is The One.
♥ Chocolat, being a strong individual, doesn't like it when people see her being sad or having a weak moment. She hides when she cries, runs off, covers her face, the whole nine yards. She thinks she's a lot stronger than she is, so when she does get emotional in a negative way, it surprises her and she reacts as thus.
♥ In the canon material, Chocolat starts out as an extreme of all the above personality traits, but matures into a young woman who is a lot more understanding of the world and herself. Her personality stays intact, though, she's just a little more mature and worldly and her immaturity doesn't show through as much as the volumes progress, espeically in the later part of the series as it becomes more serious.
Canon Background: As the daughter of a prominent witch in the magical world, Chocolat was chosen as a candidate to compete for the throne as Queen of the realm, along with her best friend and daughter of the then current queen, Vanilla. In order to win the competition for the throne, the girls had to collect Ecure in the form of human hearts (more so the solidified jewel that their feelings manifested via magic). Upon arriving in the human world, Chocolat soon realized that her personality that was normal in the magical world wouldn't do her much good in the human world. It was that same personality that kept her going even with Vanilla being the favoured of the two amongst their peers. She eventually makes a lot of friends at the school, including a boy named Pierre, her long term love interest.
Due to the large rule concerning witch's hearts, the love she began to feel for Pierre was extremely taboo, though she learns shortly after becoming interested in him that he is a witch himself, though a dark one. A lot of the series deals with the various trials and tribulations Chocolat has to go through to finally fall in love and have it reciprocated with Pierre, though their love story is more like a motivation than the main story line in later volumes. Pierre was an Ogre, or a evil witch with a heart comprised of hate and agony, which coloured it a deep soot black. Chocolat spent a long time, almost the entire series, trying to find out how to remove it, attempting to remove it, and finally succeeding through her power to Filtre, or to make black hearts pure again (a trait inherited from her mother that she learns nearer to the series' closing).
Chocolat's mother was forced into exile for having a child with Glace, the darkest wizard of the magical world. Chocolat was that child, who was promptly left with her grandfather while her mother spent the rest of her life as a familiar; her punishment for her fraternizing with dark wizards. Her father was the ruler of another magical realm underneath the magical world she knew, though she never knew of such a world or her father's existence. She only ever knew what her mother looked like and thought through pictures and her diary, though she wasn't able to unlock it until her time in the human world.
With her friend Vanilla, Chocolat fought for multiple reasons, though the girls remained true to their initial pact of being best friends forever. Chocolat fought just as much for Vanilla as she did for anyone else, if not more. She fought for her honour when others thought she was a Ogre, when she turned against the kingdom and sought refuge with Pierre, and when ever anyone thought Vanilla to be wrong in anyway. Her loyalty to Vanilla remains throughout her shown life, and the two are for the most part inseparable.
Background (AU!Canon; HP): ( SAYONARA ) A small town in France was home to a rare and true pureblood beauty, Cinnamon Meilleure, hailing from a community that prided itself on being completely pureblood. She was a fetching girl, sassy and spunky and full of life and vigor. There wasn't a man around that didn't want to court her. She, however, had better things to do with her time rather than to deal with the trifles of dating and dealing with men she found to be tedious. Cinnamon was a rapscallion, causing her father grief no matter whether she was dating or not.
It wasn't long, however, until she did find a special someone that she fell in love with, though he wasn't as in love with her as much as she was with him. He was the son of a known Death Eater, his mother, and was walking in her footsteps. Glace was unattainable and his mother made sure of that. Any girl that even glanced at her beloved son was immediately shot down, believing that her boy was too good for just any witch, not even the community's pureblood girls. Most of them were not bothered by the several Voldemort supporters taking residence in their village as they were pureblood and knew that they were not really in any great danger, but her connections to him were still rather intimidating. Her complex toward her son was almost terrifying and his home life was always a topic of the town's gossip. Glace was a dark and grim boy, cruel with those he saw were struck by him. He was wicked with almost everyone, and it was noticeable. What Cinnamon and his countless other fans saw in him, no one knew. Cinnamon, however, was the only one brave enough to not care about his mother and her affiliations and prejudices, though was never clear on her support or lack-there-of for the ideas the Death Eaters believed in. None of it mattered, as she loved him, though flippantly as a young girl would.
Their relationship wasn't a healthy one. Cinnamon was deluded by school girl romance, though she wouldn't admit it to herself or anyone else. Glace was using Cinnamon just to get off on his cruelty. It wasn't long before their slinking around resulted in a blessing and a curse. Cinnamon was with child and that was something she couldn't ignore and couldn't play off. She didn't want to, she found. Cinnamon's love had grown and blossomed past her adolescent daydreams. She had made a baby and vowed to give her heart to him. Glace didn't feel the same way. His mother promptly found out and threatened Cinnamon and her father with the wrath of dark magic for her indescretion with her son. Her father could not have cared less, and told them as such. Soon after, Glace and his family left the town, supposedly to England to be closer to the main concentration of Death Eaters. Cinnamon, all the while, had skipped town as well, and her father feared she had left with them to support the Dark Lord (he was against the whole idea of "purification"). She returned, roughly a year later, without Glace but with a new baby girl, Chocolat.
Chocolat was raised by her grandfather, her grandmother long since dead from a certain type of cancer. Cinnamon left shortly after dropping off her newborn, leaving only a journal and an assortment of magical candies, her father again assuming she left to be with Glace. Their lives were comfortable and Chocolate developed like a normal girl. Her grandfather told her all about her mother, and the towns-people of course knew of her infamy. Because she disappeared, however, Chocolat's father was unknown to most everyone except her grandfather. Some assumed but no one would dare say anything for fear of falling out of favor with Glace's family, an ever present threat though no longer in the country. While Chocolat wondered what her mother looked like (her grandfather was a stickler about not keeping photos around, though she did manage to scrounge up a few here and there), she never really regarded herself as having a mother. She had her mother's diary, of course, but the key was with her grandfather and it wasn't to be Chocolat's until she was to go to Hogwarts. Her father was of absolutely no concern to her, since she never really thought about his existence at all.
Chocolat was soon discovered to have a personality much like her mother's, though a little bit more brash and rude (like her grandfather). She discovered quickly that playing with dolls and dressing up wasn't exactly her forte, as she loved playing outside, rough housing, and hanging out with the boys, not unlike her mother. One of her many friends was Vanilla Mieux, a girl whom she rescued from a group of boys who mercilessly teased her, that she met when she was 7. The girls quickly became extremely close and the two were soon best friends. Chocolat would do absolutely anything for Vanilla. Vanilla was a sweet girl and Chocolat knew that was rare in their community. She was like a precious jewel to Chocolat, and she felt that if she was to be left unprotected, the wicked children would tarnish her. It was from Vanilla that Chocolat learned humility and discovered the vastly different factions born from purebloods and mudbloods. While Vanilla and her family were purebloods, they were staunch believers in wizarding equality, which was something decently unheard of in their town. While Chocolat rarely put much thought into the matter, she did believe that anything that sweet Vanilla believed in was the right thing, though it might have been weird. In either case, she stuck up for her no matter she or her family's affiliation.
Coming from a community consisting mostly of tight knit pureblood witches, Chocolat knew of magic when she was born. She also knew, from an early age, that it was something she was good at, showing strong promise in exuding her skills at a young age. Her grandfather was always silently proud of the gift for magic she held. Chocolat knew she would have a high aptitude for magic, though it only concerned her when she needed it. Applying herself, especially in school, was something she didn't like at all. When she did get her Hogwarts letter, though, she was excited. One, to be away from her grandfather and to explore the world. Two, to hone her skills and become a better witch. Upon getting sorted and in classes, she almost immediately lost interest in learning. She's comparable to a student who doesn't do their homework but passes the finals, so in the end they're clear. It's also notable that she did receive a letter from Beauxbatons as well, but found it more appealing to go to England, both to explore and to chase her mother, whom she was beginning to get interested in. Though her grandfather had repercussions, he did allow her to go, knowing that there was no chaining down a girl like her. Their community was becoming toxic, anyway, and the further from France she was, the better.
With the war ending and tempers flared, Chocolat's been forced to think about how her family and blood status may differ or uphold her opinions. Though she doesn't know her parents might be strongly affiliated with dark magic, she does know that being a pureblood speaks volumes in this day and age based on how people treat her and the past tension in her village. She's still just eleven, though, so it's not the biggest thing on her mind. She does notice the tension and how everyone has been effected by the war, but she doesn't concern herself with it too much.
As an additional note, Chocolat, being an adventurous young girl was always bringing home random natural fauna, such as snakes and rabbits and frogs. She grew extremely attached to a oddly coloured frog when she was 10, and she's been keeping him ever since. Named Duke, she brought the little guy to Hogwarts, though he's often hopping around somewhere where she isn't. ( LIVEJOURNAL )
How would your character fit in to each House?
Gryffindor: Chocolat is an extremely brave individual, as evident in her childhood as a tomboy and huntress. She's extremely strong headed and is devoted to one-mindset, extremely loyal to her grandfather, home, and opinions. If she knows that she is in the wrong, she'll begrudgingly give up in favour of what she knows to be just. She's saved her friends countless times and done things that most children, even those who grew up around her in the hillsides who were accustomed to being rambunctious, wouldn't do, whether out of stupid gall or daring.
Hufflepuff: While a hard-working individual, she has to be pressured into doing things she doesn't enjoy and can be considered lazy by some. Patience is by no means a trait Chocolat posses, as she is very quick-tempered and impatient. Fairness depends on how serious the matter. If Chocolat knows that being honest and forth-coming is for the greater good and in serious situations, she will be fair and upfront about her actions. For small things, such as stealing a treat or fighting, she will be a little more unfair and sly.
Ravenclaw: Chocolat has a natural talent for magic as she found small uses for the natural magic she exudes. If school didn't interest her, she didn't give her all, thinking that whatever she had a muse for to be of more importance. Chocolat has a lot of street smarts where intelligence is concerned, and is more resourceful than book smart. Where creativity is concerned, Chocolat is good at being inventive in certain areas whereas others wouldn't apply. She's no where near being artsy, though good with her hands from being very outdoorsy and outgoing. She's very good at finding new ways to do things though, so as not to get bored with the same old thing over and over again. When given something to learn, though, she does get the hang of it rather quickly.
Slytherin: Growing up as an adventurous tot, Chocolat learned how to use her resources well and to be sneaky. Her grandfather could control her with a stern punishment, but she was a sneaky child, mischievous to a fault. In canon, Chocolat beats all odds at the Spring Exam in the magical exam by beating out Vanilla using her resourcefulness. Though sly, Chocolat was never necessarily cunning. She was, though, always the front runner of the pack of children she always ran with. She's also a big rule-bender, willing to break and side-step rules if it fancies her or if it's for the greater good. Chocolat does meet the supposed-qualification of being pure-blooded.

So Valentine's Day is coming up, huh? And the older kids get to go out and do stuff while we younger kids get to just sit here and study and junk? That's a load of crap. Just because I don't have a date, doesn't mean I don't want to go out and explore! What the hell'd I come to a foreign freaking country for in the first place?
Seriously. It gets kinda boring after a while of just sitting on your butt. Studying is boring and I can't go into the forest or anywhere fun. Give me a break. It seriously needs to lighten up around here.
So I flipped all through our spell book for this year and I found out that just like first year, we're just doing a bunch of baby spells again! Where's the good stuff, like learning how to turn someone into a lemur or how to have a house mop itself? Like Quietus. That spell is so crap.
Furnunculus sounds pretty fun though. I could do some boys some damage with that one.
