| Bio: |  Character. Character Name: Petunia May Dursley (neé Evans) Age/Birthdate: 22 / July 5th 1959 Wand: Doesn't have one, and will take a little convincing to get her to try one. She doesn't believe it would work, and doesn't want to get her hopes up by trying. Bloodline: Unsquibbed. Why this character: Petunia has always been one of my favourite characters, and I've always wanted a chance to play her. What is said about your character on the lexicon? If you changed canon facts, what did you change? Petunia's lexicon page is here and basically tells about how bitter and what a crappy aunt she was. I haven't changed a thing. Look at the available/taken list and put which characters (at least ten names) that your character would interact or be familiar with: Vernon Dursley, Dudley Dursley, Lily Potter, Harry Potter, James Potter, Severus Snape, Albus Dumbledore, Arabella Figg, Marjorie Dursley, and Portrayed-By: Alona Tal. Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual. She is married to Vernon Dursley and the very idea of being with a girl in that way is just disgusting, and unnatural. Personality: Petunia has always been a nosy person, unable to mind her own business. She is extremely gossipy, and isn't always the best person to trust a secret to. Especially if you're an equally nosy, gossipy person. She enjoys reading the tabloids, and celebrity gossip magazines, as well as spying on neighbours. Petunia is easily distressed, and high-strung, as well as prone to bouts of jealousy, and embitterment. And to top it all off she's extremely stubborn, and has trouble admitting she was wrong, or apologizing. She's very neat, and orderly, to obsessive levels, and cleans her house at least three times a day. Cleaning has been her way to 'relieve' stress for years. Of course it usually just stresses her out more, but she likes to believe it helps. She is very organized, alphabatizing, numbering, or ordering things by size, colour, shape, you name it and she's ordered something by it. It certainly makes things easier to find. Petunia isn't all bad, and cleaning, she can be very loyal to those she cares about. She can also be rather kind, and giving, though people don't usually get to know her well enough to see it. She likes cooking, and sometimes gives baked goods to various people she knows, especially during the Holidays. Of course, she's been known to purposely make terrible fruit cakes for people she doesn't like, and the bins on the neighbourhood are usually full of them by the end of January. Family: Lily Potter - When her sister went off to Hogwarts, Petunia was extremely jealous and shunned her, but deep down she still loved her sister, and when Lily died Petunia cried for days, secretly, regretting the way she'd treated her, not that she'd ever admit it outloud. Vernon Dursley - Petunia's beloved husband. Petunia adores Vernon, and thinks very highly of him. Dudley Dursley - Her darling Duddy-kins. She knows she shouldn't have spoiled him so, but he was her little boy, she couldn't help it. Harry Potter - Her sister's son. Petunia cared about him, in a way, though she knows she treated him terribly. Personal History: Petunia Evans grew up in a small town with family. Everything, and everybody was usually normal. Usually. Petunia went to a muggle primary school, had average grades, had average teachers, and had average days. Petunia considers her childhood some of her best years. And then of course everything went to hell in a hand basket. Petunia's little sister Lily had to go and become magical. At first Petunia was frightened of her sister's powers, afraid that if someone saw them they'd burn Lily at the stake or chase her down with pitchforks, and that was the last thing Petunia wanted to happen to her sister. And of course that awful boy started coming around telling Lily all sorts of nonsense, teaching her more magic, and Petunia wasn't always around to keep close eyes on them. When Lily was accepted to that magical school, Hogwarts, Petunia was upset. Especially when she learned that Lily would be away at this school for the entire school year. Lily would be away, and Petunia would be all alone. So Petunia wrote a letter to the Headmaster of Hogwarts, asking if she could come too, and even demanding that she be allowed to come. Of course, the Headmaster told her she couldn't go. It wasn't long before Petunia decided she hated magic. It just wasn't fair! Why was Lily a witch, and Petunia wasn't? They had the same genes, didn't they? Of course she still tried to become magical, secretly stealing Lily's books, and trying to perform the spells inside with a stick. Of course after a few summer days she realized it wouldn't work. After that Petunia became upset and moody at any mention of magic, and after a while, of her sister. Petunia continued, and finished her average schooling, with average marks, and average teachers. She met, and married Vernon Dursley, and had a son by the name of Dudley. The world slowly seemed to be returning back to a normal, better track, and the handbag paused in it's journey to hell. Then, of course, Lily had to go and get herself blown up or whatever it was. When Petunia woke up that chilly morning, and looked outside, the very last thing she expected to find was her nephew and a note from that Headmaster of that stupid school. Learning that her sister was dead shocked Petunia at first, and she privately mourned her sister's death, regretting shunning her. Then, like everything else, Petunia became just as embittered about her sister's death as she was embittered about anything else to do with her sister. And unfortunately her sister's spawn was always right at hand to remind Petunia just how embittered she was. Even though Vernon didn't want to keep the boy, Petunia wasn't so cruel to throw a child into an orphanage, and besides, she figured they could just 'squash' the magic out of the boy. At this time the handbag, the world inside, continued it's journey to hell. During the years that Harry lived with the Dursleys is when Petunia went into cleaning frenzies everyday, cleaning in the morning, after lunch, before supper, after supper, before bed, in the middle of the night when she couldn't sleep. She spoiled her son, however much she tried not to, knowing what a mess that could turn into, and treated her nephew as an unwanted servant. She kept the two boys apart, worried that if they became close friends the same fiasco that came when she was a girl would come between Dudley and Harry. Luckily the two hated each other right off. And of course once Harry went to that stupid school more strange things happened, apparently the crazy wizard bloke who had killed the Potters had returned, and blah reaping havok the tulips were over watered from the storms, so on and so forth. When it came time to say goodbye to her nephew, Petunia wanted to say a good many things, but couldn't bring herself to it. In the years after that everything was exceedingly normal, and Petunia found herself missing the little bit of excitement magic brought to the table. Petunia eventually died, alone in her house at the age of 78 when she accidentally put dish-washing soap in her afternoon tea rather than milk. Who does your character support?
