if there's one word to describe priscilla, it's snobbish. she expects everything to be perfect and the tiniest layer of dust will result in every single housemaid being lined up in the drawing room and lectured about how working in the house is an honour that she can and will snap away in an instant if they can't do their job properly. her demanding nature often frightens the newer servants while those that have been around a little longer have grown accustomed to it. priscilla has a very confident nature and is never afraid to voice her opinions - in fact, she makes a habit of it. a way to shut her up is yet to be discovered, even by her husband andrew. if she wants to say something, she will say it and you will listen or she'll simply repeat herself until you do. as a witch, she is naturally very secretive in hiding her magic from muggles and is also quite a private person, even when there is no particular reason why a person shouldn't know something. she enjoys shopping, having spent much of her time before her career doing so, and also building contacts to increase her influence. she likes having a large family though dislikes the presence of her mother-in-law. priscilla will rise to any opportunity to irritate her and andrew has given up trying to stop the two of them bickering.

priscilla always dresses to impress. she will never be seen in jeans or trainers, always preferring the elegance of a dress, even when going into work. her brown her falls in light waves and she has stunning blue eyes. at five feet and seven inches with a slim and graceful figure, she doesn't look particularly intimidating (unless she's angry, which is often apparent by her expression) but isn't particularly short. she has no tattoos or piercings and any scars or unsightly blemishes that would have imperfected her have been removed through magic. though she is forty-six, you would think she was much younger, also thanks to her magical talents.

GENERAL HISTORY

priscilla was born in the family home in wales. as an only child, all eyes were on her and even as a young child, priscilla was aware of this and exploited it. she grew up in the same house and even once she had graduated from hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, she saw no reason to move out. by staying at home, she had easy access to her parents and their funding of her expensive lifestyle. priscilla hadn't even considered touching a saucepan or feather duster and with two house elves around to do everything for her, there was no need to contemplate on such trivial things. instead, she spent her time shopping and building a list of influential contacts. her life was every girl's dream. when dolores umbridge replaced albus dumbledore at hogwarts, james intended to resign in protest but didn't want to leave his department in the hands of the ministry. as such, he told priscilla that he had negotiated a job for her in the muggle-worthy excuse committee. at thirty years of age and having never so much as dipped her toes into employment, she was initially reluctant but warmed to the idea of being paid to simply lie for a short while before having control over a whole department. after a month of working in the office, although only part-time, james resigned and left the job to her. it was initially rejected by his former employees but they had no say in the matter. surprising to many was that within just two months, priscilla had won the favour of most of the department and running it very successfully, even though she lacked the experience and was still working part-time in order to be a mother. she held her position firmly through voldemort's return and take-over of the ministry. when kingsley shacklebolt became minister for magic, he required a senior undersecretary to replace the recently imprisoned umbridge. being aware of priscilla's success in just three years, he selected her to take the post. confident that she would be able to work just as well at home as she had done previously, he granted her permission to work predominantly from her home and just come into the ministry when she was required in person.
RELATIVES
priscilla was born to james and rosalie clarke, two very wealthy and influential individuals that just so happened to possess the gift of magic. james is now sixty-eight and rosalie is now sixty-seven. priscilla originally lived with her parents in their comfortably large home before she met, fell in love with and married andrew dalton. the two of them were soon married and bearing children like there was no tomorrow. first along and two years after beginning her career was joshua, now twenty-four, followed shortly by bethany, now twenty-three. they had a short break before having evelyn, now twenty-one, and then arthur, now nineteen. following their middle children were isabella, now seventeen, and harrison, now sixteen. priscilla lives with her husband, children and, much to her dismay, her in-laws. she is on good enough terms with clifford, who is sixty-five, but it's quite a different story for her mother-in-law marie, who is sixty-three. the two of them have never really seen eye-to-eye and it seems to be their sole purpose in life to irritate one another as much as is possible. it is inadvisable to interfere when the two women really get going at one another.

vicky here! i found the forum through emma though we both staffed the original dalton estate and forum from which the daltons themselves came, a changed hogwarts. i don't have any other characters as of yet but i'm sure that will change soon, despite my busy schedule. i've been roleplaying for a little over four years now and i live in england. got to love our horribly unpredictable weather. i don't seem to watch much tv but there are several programmes that i like, namely the vampire diaries, gossip girl, glee, merlin and downton abbey. as for my favourite films, i adore harry potter, as well as the books, and i quite likely disney films too, particularly finding nemo and ratatouille.
