The shy, invisible Tulip

[Dawn Autumn Cantilupe]

Dawn Autumn "Tulip" Cantilupe, 18, Hufflepuff, 1st year, Straight, Muggleborn

Personality: Dawn is quiet and shy, a perfect target for bullies. She doesn't really fight back unless something really makes her snap. She's a soft-spoken young woman who wouldn't hurt a fly. She is quite smart, though not as smart as Ravenclaw students. She fits right in at a library. Some describe her as mouse-like because she is hardly noticed. Her self-confidence is pretty low. She can be a bit touchy when it comes to talking about her family.  To sum it up simply, her dad left before she was born and her brother is in the crazy house. Don't insult her family or she will go for blood (not literally).

Friends: Dawn really wants to make friends, but she's a bit too soft-spoken and shy. She feels like she can't make friends, which is mainly her low self-confidence talking. With her being a bully-magnet, she does need strong friends who'll be around for her. Hopefully her friends can help but her confidence so she can deal with bullies on her own.

Enemies: Dawn is often seen as weak and defenseless. The truth of the matter is that she lets herself get pushed around by bullies. She thinks by letting them do what they want that she's helping them vent their anger. So far that thought hasn't been working out in her favor. Any and every bully likes to take a shot at her, since she seems really gullible and naïve. So she's often picked on by nearly everyone with anger issues because she's an easy target. But if you dare insult or otherwise joke about her family life (like her brother's condition), she will turn on you faster than a cobra on a mongoose. You always have to be careful of the quiet ones.

Love Interests: This is one of the few things where Dawn is truly lost. She never had her dad around, so she has never seen what love is like. Then there's the little issue of what happened to her brother... Because of that, she has a hard time showing people affection. She's afraid that people will only stick around to be loved by her and leave her with absolutely nothing. Whenever she's used like that, she gets really down and depressed, but she won't let people see her tears. 

If you have any ideas for a relationship with Dawn, let me know.

P.S. only her grandma and really close friends are allowed to call her "Tulip"

Justin & Dawn
so these two both have daddy issues and are the quidditch commentators, which is where they'll know each other from! I think there could be a nice friendship? Like, Justin would notice the shyness and stuff and he'd probably be quite protective of her

let me know what you think!

Justin & Dawn
      That actually sounds pretty sweet. And Justin's a healing major too, right? That would be something else that they could talk about often.

yeah he is! did dawn go to hogwarts? cause maybe they'd already vaguely know each other from there then

     Actually she went to Salem in the States, though she wishes she had gone to Hogwarts. She loves hearing about it from those who went there.

If you need someone to kick her around and bully her Lucien will do it. He gets a kick out of harassing people he believes are weaker than him. He also has a tendancy to try and gain the trust of people only so he can make them do what he wants before he abandons them.

    That would probably work out well. Been looking for someone willing to push her around a bit. When or where would that start though? Would he start with bullying or trying to gain her trust?
