Full name: Darci Laplante (haha very on the nose)
Gender: Female
Pronouns: She/her
Age/year: 17/seventh year
S/S/S: Pansexual, shippable, N/A
House: Slytherin
Personality: You would expect someone (something?) like Darci to be a lot more evil, what with being in Slytherin and the whole demon thing. Perhaps she's more plant than demon, because she's in fact a very sociable and happy person, friendly to all who talk to her. She's willing to help out any who need it, and is overall a very chipper person. Along with that, she's also particularly elegant and graceful, with a taste for the more refined things in life, owing to the rich lifestyle she lives.
Some think it's a facade, though it really isn't. Darci truly does enjoy talking to people. However, there is another side of her that can be seen: a more ruthless side. She sees the world as dog eat dog, and is a staunch "survival of the fittest" truther - which is to say, showing any kind of weakness around Darci will cause her to roll her eyes and disregard you. This isn't out of meanness, per se, but out of her own belief that those who are weak get nowhere in this world; strength is the secret behind getting by. This is packaged with Darci's fierce ambition, to the point where she'll even step on people to get what she wants. It's just the way of the world, after all. Along with all this, she's quick to take charge of groups, being a surprisingly capable leader, giving her a bit of a persuasive streak.
Despite all this, Darci really, truly isn't evil. She's no cheater, and if she steps on people, she steps on them justly. More or less. She's a hard worker, and also quite productive, usually getting all her work done in the earlier hours of the day. She also believes in keeping justice, and holds a strong dislike for wrong-doers. To nobody's surprise, Darci loves nature. It's her safe space, and she can often be found taking naps outside, partaking in something that seems to be photosynthesis. She's a natural at Herbology and Potions, but doesn't seem to be as keen with Defense Against the Dark Arts. Maybe it's the whole thing about being a demon.
Species: Demonic plant? Plant demon? Some combination of the two.
Patronus: Secretary bird
Backstory: Darci was born in Hell, quite literally. Or rather, she sprouted in Hell as a shrub, that eventually became a leafy humanoid. The inhabitants of Hell were quite confused, to say the least. What was this... creature? Demons could be heard gossiping about her, and most settled on one theory: a wizard soul sentenced to Hell who had once been a herbologist probably left a little bit of himself in the very ground of Hell, somehow.
In any case, a lack of sun is not great for a plant, and unconveniently, Hell doesn't have a sun, so a somewhat kinder demon dropped her in the human world, specifically in France, where she learned to fend for herself. Humans fascinated her, to the point where she was adopted by a human couple, who were more or less intrigued by their odd-looking daughter. Nonetheless, she was loved, and soon found out she qualified to be sent to Hogwarts, as Beauxbatons didn't really have the means to accommodate someone like her. So, here she is!
Appearance:
Other: Darci is fluent in French, and, as expected, can control plants. She can also control shadows, as part of the whole thing about being a demon.
if anyone is interested in shipping with her pls ping me :3
