The Character
Name: Wisteria Tussaud
Nicknames (if any): Madame
Age: Forgotten, appears 26 forever
Occupation: Ravenclaw Ghost
Blood: Halfblood
Wand: She has no need for one anymore.
Personality: As many ghosts before her, Wisteria isn't the first nor the last to be uncomfortable around the topic of her death. Any mention of it has her in an instant bad mood, and its best to steer clear. On a more sunnier note, Madame Tussaud is in summary, a glamorous woman. She has the air of a celebrity around her, despite being a smart, kind-hearted woman. Due to her age, experiances, and merely because she is an adult, she expects a certain amount of respect from the Hogwarts populus. After all, she was born in an age where it came with the business, and she died, so.. She deserves it, in her eyes. Prone to favoring her house (as all house ghosts did) over all others, she keeps an eye out for them, popping in at times to offer whatever help she can provide in her power. She believes Ravenclaws are not only smart, but beautiful, artistic, and talented. Like she once was.
Appearance: Stuck appearing the same way forever (which irritates her extremely) Wisteria appears to be a beautiful, mysterious woman of 26. Transparent, and wispy, black eyeliner frames her eyes. Her long, black eyelashes only add to the intense, far off look in her eyes. Dangling pearls in her ears, she wears long, beaded necklaces, and many jewelled rings on her fingers. With 'fishnet' stockings on her arms (cut off at her fingers), Wisteria wears loose, velvety, satin dresses, layered one over the other, to create an old-school movie-star look. It appears more Gypsy in style, but dont tell her that. Under the folds of fabric, a bulletwound rests snugly in her heart. Her hair is in a loose up-do, and she has patterned scarfs wrapped like headbands around the area above her forehead. (see above picture) Her skin is pale, but you wouldn't notice, she has makeup on to create a white-skinned effect. Think black and white movie starlets, folks.
History: An old theatre/silent movie star, Wisteria's name was everywhere way back when. She lived the good life, writing autographs wherever she went and watching the men look at her with longing in their eyes, while the women did the same, with jealousy replacing desire. Every woman wanted to be her, every man wanted to be with her. Despite her growing popularity, she maintained a kind demeanor, loving animals and owning a cat and dog of her own.
Her happiness was strong, despite growing threats from a crazed stalker, whom she never caught the name of. Either that, or she has forgotten it now, but he arrived at one of her performances, and the moment she stepped onstage with her arms outstretched, he shot her in the heart, before ending himself, to be with her. Life unfulfilled, Wisteria returned, more than a little pissed off. The memory of him always stirred up hateful feelings, but she has learned to put them aside, figuring she might as well do something. Floating around, she claims that the theatre she died in was demolished for the creation of Hogwarts. No one is sure if this is true, but Wisteria is certain of it, choosing to stay and haunt the school as Ravenclaw's ghost, seeing as they were 'just like her'.
