         PANSY PARKINSON   ჻   25   ჻   CARAVAN REBEL

  ჻  BIOGRAPHY

Pansy Parkinson is half the girl she used to be, so it’s a good thing she started off so much more than ordinary. A child of the Caravan, she grew-up outside the smothering yoke of government control and regulation; grew up wild and free and unfettered. Maybe a few more rules to follow wouldn’t have gone amiss; maybe that would have curbed her reckless streak before she stepped so far out of line that the Ministry could snatch her up and carry her away.

But rules are for people who worry about the consequences, and Pansy has suffered far too many consequences to be scared of a few more scars.

Growing up as best friends with the Malfoys’ pet project prepared her to find her stitches beautiful at least, and she didn’t scream when she saw what they had had to do in order to put her back together again after she escaped Pandora Lovegood’s laboratory. She did scream when she realized how much it hurtto try and separate herself from her new best friend: Marietta Edgecombe, the girl she escaped the Ministry with, and now the girl who holds half of Pansy’s heart in her chest. That’s not some touching metaphor; the two of them were in such bad condition when they made it back to the Caravan that the only way to save them was to fill in the holes in one with the pieces of the other. Lovegood had made the link, but the Malfoys were the ones who found a way to use that to repair the damage she had done – or at least, to compensate for that damage. Some things are too broken to ever be repaired, but Pansy isn’t the meek sort of wix who nods and accepts her lot in life even when she doesn’t like it. She learned a lot about Muggle science while she was being cut open and cut apart, lessons that as far as she knows, nobody else has bothered to apply to magic. Now that she – with Marietta’s help of course, because she can’t do anything without Marietta’s help these days – has nothing left to lose and everything to gain, there’s nothing to hold her back from doing whatever it takes to find the answers she’s seeking…or at the very least, to distract her from her own suffering by making sure someone else is suffering worse.

  ჻  CHARACTER TIES

HARRY POTTER | ITS ABOUT YOU AND ME  Most would say it wasn’t Harry’s fault. He was only a baby when he was taken – but Pansy knows that’s not true. If the mudlovers hadn’t grabbed him then, they wouldn’t have come back for her. That makes it his fault. If only she could hate him as much as she wants without thinking: what did the Muggles take from youthe way they took so much from me?

MARIETTA EDGECOMBE | SHUT UP AND DANCE  If her second half would just stop sniveling for five minutes Pansy would be happy as can be. She relies on Marietta, she likesMarietta – it’s just, sometimes, she drags her feet a little too much. Pansy keeps trying to tell her there’s no point except reveling in everything they have now. They almost had nothing.

DRACO MALFOY | PINKIE PROMISE  Even growing up in the Caravan, children will be children and one day Pansy made Draco swear that together they’d change the world. Laying traps was a good step to take, they thought, until Pansy was captured and now, even though she’s back, everything has changed.
