Damara Dodderidge

"If she continues like this she is going to eat herself out of house and frame!..."

- Giffard Abbott's portrait

Damara Dodderidge was a witch.

Early life
Damara may have attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and may have been Sorted into Gryffindor House.

1992- 1994
By 1992, she had a portrait hung in Hogwarts Castle's Grand Staircase, and another one in Gryffindor Tower in 1993.

1995-1996
By 1995, she guarded a shortcut leading from the Grand Staircase to the Clock Tower, she was seen frequently complaining about her hunger or tiredness. By then, her password was "Chops and Gravy".

1996-1997
In the next school year, Damara's portrait was moved to another place in the Grand Staircase. Despite this move, she still guarded a passage to the Clock Tower, inaccessible to all who had not got the new password: "Dashing Cadogan".

Personality and traits
Damara was known being always very hungry and tired. Her portrait at Hogwarts Castle depicts her like so, but by 1996 she seemed to stop constantly daydreaming about food and complaining about her tiredness. She said to be hungry once at breakfast time, though. Also by this time, she seemed to have developed a crush on fellow portrait Sir Cadogan, calling him dashing.
