Line #179 Characters/Dangerverse


1	Here are the various characters of the ''Fanfic/{{Dangerverse}}''.
2	----
3	!The Pack
4	Depending on how you look at it, this group--the core group of the Dangerverse--is either an outgrowth of the Marauders (which is also the singular of Pack) or the next inevitable step (it's been theorized that had James and Lily survived, the outcome might have been similar). After Remus and Danger meet, fall in love, rescue Harry from the Dursleys, and Sirius from Azkaban, and move in with Sirius's girlfriend Aletha, the two small family units end up melding into one, the final result being four parents jointly raising four children -- said children including the most famous children in wizarding Britain.\
5
6	Over the course of the series, they have endured and suffered more than most people do, but they have only become closer as a result. They spend more time together than they do with anyone else, and whenever there is a problem, they always try to solve it together.\
7
8	[[TheHero Remus Lupin]] is for all intents and purposes TheLeader, despite his canon self being something of a wimp (the Dangerverse has been described as "the only place in Franchise/HarryPotter fandom where Remus is the alpha male"), and the group was developing a pack mentality even before they actually began referring to themselves as a pack. (The first use of the term is quite early in the story, though, occurring around Chapter 14 of ''Living with Danger'', so the fourteenth chapter out of 215 (!) so far.) The adults see each other as being related in some fashion (Remus and Sirius see each other as brothers, their respective wives think of each other as sisters, and so on), and the kids, or cubs, have been raised as siblings.

10	[[foldercontrol]]
11
12	[[folder:The Pack in General]]
13	* CoupledCouples
14	* EarnYourHappyEnding
15	* FormerTeenRebel
16	* FireForgedFriends:
17	* HiddenInPlainSight: Honestly, who'd think to look for the Boy Who Lived, the Boy Who Disappeared, and the most wanted fugitive in wizarding Britain in a little semidetached in the London suburbs? Not the Ministry, that's for certain.
18	* IdiotBall: [[spoiler: "Find the red and find the rat"? Yeah, good job remembering, everyone. Luckily they managed it anyway, belated as it was.]]
19	* LikeBrotherAndSister: Both the cubs and the adults fall under this theme.
20	* TangledFamilyTree: Sirius's family as per canon, with Neville and Meghan and Tonks and Charlie being something like third cousins, Harry and Ginny being some sort of cousins, etc. But also, Remus and Draco being descendants of the Beauvoi family, Remus through Angharad Beauvoi and John, Gryffindor's grandson, Draco through Owain Beauvoi and his wife. Not only that, but through Neville's marriage to Meghan, the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff lines unite, When Draco becomes Reynard Beauvoi and marries Luna, they take on the bloodline of Daffyd Beauvoi and Amanda Slytherin, uniting those bloodlines. Something like that anyway. It's complicated.
21	* ThePowerOfFriendship: A constant theme in the series.
22	* TrueCompanions: Their loyalty to each other is absolute, even if they spend most of the text arguing over something petty. Come a real problem, and they are back together again.
23	* UpbringingMakesTheHero: Harry is a good deal far more well-adjusted, Hermione far less insecure, and Draco turns out all right.
24	--> "'Turns out all right'? Gee, thanks a lot."
25	--> "What are you complaining about? I am ''not'' insecure!"
26	--> "You two. Out. Sorry about them..."
27	** Well, if you want a more complete account, we'll be here all day...
28	* WeirdnessMagnet: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] more than once; why ''does'' everything interesting or dangerous happen to them? Other than their raising TheChosenOne and avoiding [[MentorOccupationalHazard the usual pitfalls of that role]], of course.
29	[[/folder]]
30
31	!!Pack-Adults
32	[[folder:Pack-Adults in General]]
33	* CoolTeacher: Sirius and Aletha count for second year, and Remus (as in canon) the third.
34	* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Remus is phlegmatic, Danger melancholic, Sirius sanguine, and Aletha choleric.
35	* HeterosexualLifePartners: James, Remus, Sirius and Peter in their Hogwarts years count as this, but he and James were practically brothers, evidenced by how he was James's best man at his wedding. Remus and Sirius definitely become this. Ditto Danger and Aletha.
36	* ParentalSubstitute: Not that any of the cubs, other than (maybe) Draco, remember having any other parents...
37	* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Out of necessity, as the cubs know just how rule-breaking their parents used to be and will bring it up at any and all opportunities. The Pack has instituted what is known as the Hypocrisy Agreement, by which the cubs cannot be punished for anything the Pack-adults get up to themselves.
38	[[/folder]]
39
40	[[folder:Remus John Lupin]]
41	Alpha male of the Pack, this iteration of Remus is far less of a wimp than his canon version--mostly because he has self-confidence and people around him who are unwilling to let him sink into depression and despair. Though he is planning suicide at the beginning of the story, his life takes a turn for the better when he almost literally runs into Harry Potter in a park in Little Whinging, during which he meets Gertrude "Danger" Granger, Harry's babysitter. After a MindlinkMates moment which catapults them into a FourthDateMarriage, they rescue Harry from the Dursleys, break Sirius out of Azkaban, and go into hiding.\
42
43	Interestingly, he goes from being TheSmartGuy of the Marauders (or at least the one with common sense) to being TheHero of the Pack, because not only is James Potter unavailable, Sirius is too emotionally damaged from Azkaban to take any greater role. By the time things stabilize, Sirius is perfectly happy in his place as beta, and Remus, much to his bemusement, continues as alpha.\
44
45	Physically, he resembles his canon version, with gray-streaked sandy brown hair and blue eyes, though he shows fewer signs of premature aging than canon version of Remus due to a less stressful, or at least happier, home life. His eyes usually show [[EyeColorChange some signs of Danger's brown]], thanks to their mental bond; lack of this little quirk is a [[OhCrap very bad sign]]. He is only slightly shorter than Sirius, but slender, though still strong.\
46
47	He is particularly close with Hermione and Draco, despite the former being Muggleborn and the latter hailing from a Dark Pureblood family.\
48
49	Remus was named by the Founders of Hogwarts as an honorary Heir of Gryffindor, and given control over fire. Fitting, considering his Animagus form is a lion. [[spoiler: It's later revealed that he is a blood heir of Gryffindor, but his fire-magic was sealed away by his father as a precaution against PowerIncontinence.]]
50	----
51	* {{Animorphism}}: Doubled, as he is both a werewolf and a lion Animagus.
52	* BackFromTheDead: [[spoiler:He was killed by Voldemort, but he was able to keep his soul safe within Danger's body and then return to his own.]]
53	* BadassBookworm: This incarnation of Lupin is more capable than his canon self, who was by all means a cowardly wimp.
54	* BrainyBrunette: A male version who is brown-haired and very intelligent.
55	* HiddenBackupPrince: [[spoiler:He turns out to be the real Heir of Gryffindor.]]
56	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Named in canon as the reason Remus never called James and Sirius on their wilder stupidities. Subverted in DV as Remus ''has'' to keep Sirius under control if they all want to keep living.
57	* KingOfBeasts: Despite being an Alpha werewolf, his Animagus form is a lion. [[spoiler:Fittingly, he is a blood heir of Gryffindor]].
58	* TheLeader: Type II with some Type IV.
59	* MalignedMixedMarriage: His parents' marriage is seen as this, as it makes him a half-blood. His marriage to Muggle-born Danger is seen as this. Not to mention, he is also a werewolf.
60	* MeaningfulName: Remus is a legendary co-founder of Rome who was nursed by a she-wolf, along with his brother Romulus; "Lupin" is Latin for "wolf-like."
61	* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: As a werewolf, he has simpler thought processes and instincts.
62	* MindlinkMates: He and Danger are connected on a level they don't quite understand themselves, but which has both a mental and a physical component (as in, if they're apart for longer than a day, they start to get sick).
63	* NoRespectGuy: Among the Marauders. The Pack is somewhat different in that as the Alpha, both cubs and adults play deference to him.
64	* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: In the Dangerverse, lycanthropy is distinguished by four qualities. A werewolf (1) changes bodily into a wolf at the full moon, (2) loses his/her human mind in the change, (3) is a social outcast because of 1 and 2, and (4) cannot have children. This last is named in-universe as the "mercy" of the originator of lycanthropy (in this version, Rhea Silvia, mother of Romulus and Remus, who ''was'' the she-wolf who nursed the twins and who later asked the god Mars, the twins' father, to send down a curse upon her surviving son for murdering his brother).
65	* PapaWolf: Do not mess with his cubs. He will find you.
66	* PlayingWithFire: Granted this ability by Maura Gryffindor [[spoiler: from whom he is descended]].
67	* TheProfessor
68	* SecretLegacy: Remus is a direct descendant of Gryffindor through his daughter Maura and his grandson John "the Wolf" from whom his surname derives. John's wife Angharad Beauvoi was sister-in-law to Alexander Slytherin, Salazar's good son, and his wife.
69	* TheSmartGuy: Of the Marauders.
70	* WerewolfThemeNaming
71	[[/folder]]
72
73	[[folder:Gertrude Kelly "Danger" Granger-Lupin]]
74	Alpha female of the Pack and wife to Remus; without her, the Pack literally could not exist as it does now. She was in many ways the catalyst that brought everything together, and is definitely one of the reasons it continues to work.\
75
76	Her [[PropheciesRhymeAllTheTime prophetic]] [[DreamWeaver dreams]] after her parents' murder (which also [[PromotionToParent forced her into the role of parent to her sister Hermione]]) led her to find and babysit Harry, saving him from his relatives' abuse for at least a few hours a day. She was also the means by which Remus learned the truth about Sirius and Wormtail, and her ability to "tame" his werewolf mind during full moons allows him to avoid some of the debilitating effects of his transformations and consider himself safe to be around children, leading to the Pack lifestyle.\
77
78	Her powers have some fairly sharp limits, and she has both a temper and a lingering self-esteem problem. Physically, she strongly resembles an older Hermione, with similar bushy brown hair and brown eyes (although DV!Hermione's eyes are hazel). When her bond with Remus is in effect, [[EyeColorChange her eyes also have some traces of his blue]]. This not being present is generally considered a bad thing. She is the shortest of the Pack-parents, with both Harry and Draco overtaking her in height by their fifth year.\
79
80	As an honorary Heir of Gryffindor, she was gifted with control over fire, a power she shares with Remus.
81
82	She is closest with Harry and Hermione.
83	----
84	* CanisMajor: Her Animagus form is a big wolf.
85	* BrainyBrunette: Much like her mate, Remus, and her younger sister Hermione, she is brown-haired and very intelligent.
86	* DreamWeaver: Shared with Hermione, and later with [[spoiler:Draco, after Lucius blood-bonds him and Hermione. Long story.]]
87	* LoveBeforeFirstSight: With Remus.
88	* MamaBear: Don't mess with her kids, biological or not.
89	* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Starts out as one of these, but matures.
90	* MindlinkMates: Very possibly related to the "taming" power she has over Remus, as the "curse" portion of lycanthropy, which shuts out the human mind to allow the wolf to take over, is only calculated to have power over ''one'' mind at a time.
91	* PropheciesRhymeAllTheTime: In iambic tetrameter, no less.
92	* TeamMom: Literally, in the cubs' case, and figuratively with the other adults.
93	* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Her parents' death cause her latent magic to emerge.
94	[[/folder]]
95
96	[[folder:Sirius Valentine Black]]
97	Beta male of the Pack, Sirius is happier and less damaged than his canon counterpart, mainly due to the fact that he was in Azkaban for a few months rather than more than a decade like his canon self, and was able to get some kind of psychological help from those around him helped a great deal. A merry prankster and romance-novel writer under the pen name of Valentina Jett (long story), he is also a loving father-figure and arguably the "cool" parent.\
98
99	Physically, he resembles his canon counterpart, with dark hair and gray eyes, and is the tallest of the Pack-adults; he keeps himself in excellent shape both for vanity's sake and due to his rejoining the Auror Office around Harry's third year. He pretends to overreact when he finds gray hairs so that Aletha and Danger will have a reason to tease him which is unrelated to any of his actual personality flaws.\
100
101	He is closest with Harry and his daughter Meghan.
102	----
103	* BadassBiker: ''Flying'' motorcycle. 'Nuff said.
104	* BetaCouple: He and Aletha, literally.
105	* BigFriendlyDog: Both his Animagus form and his go-to disguise for the Pack's first years in hiding.
106	* BlackSheep: Pun aside, his family regarded him as this for not being a blood supremacist or a Slytherin like in canon. Both readers and his loved ones see him as the WhiteSheep.
107	* ByronicHero: Though he eventually learns how to do more constructive things with his angst than brood.
108	* CatchPhrase: Punning on his name.
109	* ClearMyName: This finally happens when the cubs find and capture Wormtail.
110	* DespairEventHorizon: Hits it the night James and Lily die. The Pack helps him snap out of it.
111	* ADogNamedDog: Padfoot. Actually A Grim Named Grim, as "Padfoot" is another name for the spectral beast of lore.
112	* EmbarrassingMiddleName: Sirius ''Valentine'' Black (named before the canon middle name of Orion, which has its own connotations, was revealed).
113	* HeroWithBadPublicity: Up until his trial and exoneration, most of the wizarding community believed him to be a dangerous and violent mass murderer. The reputation takes years to shake.
114	* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Twice over. Unbeknownst to anyone else, he had James and Lily make Peter Pettigrew their Secret-Keeper--thinking no one would ever suspect it and that Peter would never betray them. On top of that, Sirius didn't want the Secret-Keeper to be Remus, as he suspected ''him'' of being Voldemort's spy.
115	* IHaveNoSon: His parents disown him and burn his name off the family tree after he runs away. This was, admittedly, probably the reaction he was hoping for.
116	* InTheBlood: Subverted. Sirius was disowned from his family for being a "dirty Muggle lover who has no respect for tradition" (read: a decent human being), and ended up in Gryffindor, whereas every member of his close family was in Slytherin. However, he still has some of the arrogance of his family members.
117	* {{Jerkass}}: In his youth, he was [[TheBully even more cruel than James was to students]]. He eventually TookALevelInKindness.
118	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: As an adult, he mellows out some what, becoming a loving [[ParentalSubstitute father-surrogate]] to Harry, but he's still incredibly antagonistic towards Snape and Kreacher (to be fair, though, Snape invites it, and Kreacher...).
119	* MalignedMixedMarriage: His mother's portrait, his cousin Bellatrix, and many of the pure-bloods he grew up with think that his marriage to Muggle-born Aletha is this.
120	* MeaningfulName: Sirius is a star commonly referred to as the "dog star." And, of course, he turns into a ''black'' dog.
121	* MiscarriageOfJustice: Victimized ''hard'' by this.
122	* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold
123	* MommyIssues: But then, Walburga Black was nuts.
124	* MostWritersAreWriters: Sirius writes romance novels under a pen name. A female pen name. Naturally, HilarityEnsues. Though, to be fair, it's not like he has anything else to do while the Pack's in hiding. This is something of a meta-example, in that lines quoted by Sirius as his own work are often from other stories of Anne's.
125	* PapaWolf: Don't threaten his cubs. You won't like him if you threaten his cubs.
126	* ParentalSubstitute: Except to Meghan, who refers to him as "Dadfoot" (probably inevitable, as his name to the other cubs was always "Padfoot", right back to baby Harry's "Pa-fuh").
127	* PastExperienceNightmare: Has to cope with these after his stint in Azkaban.
128	* PlaguedByNightmares: Sirius has these for a while in ''Living with Danger'', [[spoiler:a result of his guilt over Lily and James finally catching up with him after Azkaban]].
129	* TallDarkAndHandsome
130	* TragicHero: Though he gets a lot more of a happy ending than he does in canon.
131	* TroubledButCute: Definitely was this in his younger years.
132	* UndyingLoyalty: He would give his life in an instant for his friends--Peter's cowardice being excuse for betraying the Potters enrages him. Even more awesome when you remember his animal form: dog.
133	* TheUnfavorite: As opposed to Regulus.
134	* UnstoppableRage: At Peter.
135	* WhiteSheep: He was one of the few members of his family who was not a staunch blood supremacist, and he was a Gryffindor rather than a Slytherin to boot.

137
138	[[folder:Aletha Carina Freeman-Black]]
139	Beta female of the Pack and wife to Sirius Black, as well as a childhood friend of Danger (and the person who tagged her with said nickname), she is also part of the glue that holds the group together. Formerly (and again, from the older cubs' third to fourth year) a student Healer, she eventually devoted much of her attention to her music. She was a large part of Sirius's recovery from the aftermath of his stay in Azkaban, and has also served as a mother-figure for the cubs, as well as being Meghan's biological mother.\
140
141	Physically, she has skin about the color of milk chocolate, dark hair which she wears fairly short but unstraightened (often described as resembling a helmet or aura around her head), and brown eyes; she stands about the same height as Remus, only slightly shorter than Sirius, with a strong build to match. She was a year behind the Marauders and Lily at Hogwarts, and was Sirius's Beating partner on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, which was how they first met. It is stated in the story that she was the first female Beater Hogwarts had seen in ten years.\
142
143	[[WordOfGod Anne]] on the subject of Aletha: "I was sitting at my computer, thinking about the woman who would be right for Sirius Black. She'd have to be beautiful, to get his attention. But she'd also have to be smart and strong, to keep it. She'd have to be able to beat him at his own games, to earn his respect, and she needed a sense of humor to put up with him. Finally I found the name 'Aletha' on a list of names that meant 'truth', and Aletha the character stepped out of my mental mist and said, 'What took you so long?'"\
144
145	She has recently been confirmed as [[spoiler:the blood Heir of Ravenclaw. Her memory was erased by Voldemort as a way to torment her and Sirius; however, she stored her memories in one of her Ravenclaw jewels, and is slowly regaining many of her old mannerisms and personality quirks.]]
146	----
147	* BadassBookworm
148	* BlackGalOnWhiteGuyDrama: Utterly averted. There's plenty of drama, but none of it has to do with skin tone.
149	* CoolHorse: Her Animagus form.
150	* HealingHands: As a blood Heir of Ravenclaw.
151	* MalignedMixedMarriage: Played with. Nobody—even the portrait of Sirius' famously bigoted mother—has a problem with Sirius marrying a black woman. The pureblood scion of an Ancient and Noble House marrying a ''muggleborn'', however? That's something altogether different.
152	* MamaBear: Not only for the cubs, but for Sirius, [[spoiler:especially when driving off a dementor.]]
153	* MeaningfulName: As listed above, "Aletha" derives from the Greek word for "truth". She is often referred to, in Danger's prophecies, as "the truth".
154	* TheMedic: Even before discovering her HealingHands power, she was a highly skilled conventional Healer.
155	* SecretLegacy: Aletha is a direct descendant (on her mother's side) of Rowena Ravenclaw through Ravenclaw's Squib daughter, Margaret.
156	* TokenMinority: The only Pack member whose heritage is (partially) African-American, while the others are British Caucasians. It wasn't intentional on the author's part, but still has this effect.
157	[[/folder]]
158
159	!The Pride
160	The Pride consists of: Harry Potter, Hermione Granger-Lupin, Draco Black (''not'' Malfoy, thank you very much) and Meghan Black (who are also "cubs of the Pack") as well as Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood and Neville Longbottom. The Pride's beginning comes with the four cubs reciting the Pack-oath with their parents; the other four join in later, swearing the Pack-oath at Neville Longbottom's house in the middle of the night, followed by a visit to the Founders' Hogwarts to confirm the Pack and Pride as honorary Heirs. The singular of Pride is "Warrior".
161	----
162	[[folder:The Pride in General]]
163	* CoupledCouples
164	* EarnYourHappyEnding
165	* FireForgedFriends: Seven of the eight Pride members participated in the clearing of Sirius's name, and Neville's had plenty of adventures with them since.
166	* HeterosexualLifePartners: Harry and Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
167	* LikeBrotherAndSister: The cubs, even though they are Not Blood Siblings.
168	* NotBloodSiblings: [[spoiler: Well, except Hermione and Draco...]] Subverted by Ron and Ginny.
169	* ThePowerOfFriendship: As with the Pack.
170	* TrueCompanions: Even if their faith in their alpha is shaken from time to time, they will all back Harry (and each other) up.
171	* TwinTelepathy: Blood siblings who have sworn the Pack-oath to each other can communicate telepathically so long as they maintain physical contact.
172	* WeirdnessMagnet: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] more than once; why ''does'' everything interesting or dangerous happen to them? Other than their being TheChosenOne's TrueCompanions, that is.
173	[[/folder]]
174
175	!!Cubs of the Pack
176	[[folder:Pack Cubs in General]]
177	* HappilyAdopted: Played straight for Harry, Hermione and Draco. Subverted for Meghan - she's very happy being a cub of the Pack, but she wasn't adopted. Played with in that at first, Aletha claimed Meghan was adopted, out of necessity (any other explanation would have involved either a one-night stand, badly out of character for her, or an admission that she had a wanted criminal hiding in her house).
178	* RaisedByWolves: Literally. Well, a werewolf, a dog Animagus, and (later) a wolf Animagus.
179	** The term "cubs" in relation to the children of the Pack begins as a ''joke''--Dumbledore asks Hagrid if there wasn't a rumor while he was in school that he kept werewolf cubs under his bed, then suggests that he should check (the cubs are hiding under Hagrid's bed to surprise him).
180	[[/folder]]
181
182	[[folder:Harry James Potter]]
183	Alpha Warrior of the Pride. Dangerverse Harry is different from his canon counterpart mainly in that he is a bit less insecure. However, thanks to having his parents as positive role-models for most of his childhood (albeit only through the Pack-parents' stories), he does occasionally need to have his head un-swelled. His HeroComplex is still rather intact, but he learns pretty quickly that his friends (which he has more of than in canon, mainly thanks to actually having social skills) aren't going to let him face down Riddle alone.
184	----
185	%% * AcheyScars: As per canon, the one on his forehead.
186	* BigBrotherInstinct: As the Alpha Warrior of his friends, he takes his alpha duties seriously (most of the time).
187	* CanisMajor: His Animagus form. Both his glasses and his scar translate into fur markings (rather like Professor [=McGonagall=]), and his eyes remain the same. His form name is the unimaginative but definitive "Wolf".
188	* CareBearStare: Shows Voldemort how much LoveHurts.
189	%%* TheChosenOne: As in canon, not his favorite thing to be, or be called.
190	* ColourCodedEyes: Has green eyes. His nickname from Danger is "Greeneyes". Hearing it makes Remus sit up, take notice and investigate.
191	%% * DisappearedDad: We all know what happened to James. Thanks a lot, Voldemort.
192	%% Do we?
193	* EvilDetectingBaby: Latched on to Sirius but couldn't stand Peter. Even as an infant, he knew what was going on better than the adults!
194	* HiddenDepths: At twelve, he deftly sums up what most people think of when they hear his name: "a scar, a stupid nickname, and a destiny". One of his main goals in life is to find and stay near the people who see more than that.
195	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Somewhat. He grows up with Hermione, Draco and Meghan, but it's nice to finally come out of hiding and have real friends besides his siblings.
196	* TheLeader: Modeling himself deliberately after both Remus and Dumbledore, though putting a few twists of his own on the idea.
197	* LiteralAssKicking: In wolf form, Harry actually [[ButtBiter bites Lucius Malfoy]]. Apparently, [[EvilSmellsBad his butt tasted awful]].
198	* TheMindIsAPlaythingOfTheBody: At the end of his first year, when he's recovering from the events of his showdown with Quirrellmort, he feels like a caged wolf cub that might be going mad. Luckily (thanks to his family), it doesn't last.
199	%% * MissingMom: Got on the wrong end of Voldemort's wand, of course.
200	* PlayingWithFire: The primary Gryffindor bloodline gift [[spoiler: which he gains through his blood bond with Remus.]] Despite misleading hints to the contrary, Harry is not the Heir of Gryffindor.
201	[[/folder]]
202
203	[[folder:Hermione Jane Granger-Lupin]]
204	Beta female of the Pride (also just plain beta, in that she would most likely take precedence over the beta male if such a choice were needed). A good bit less insecure and bossy than her canon counterpart, though she does have her moments. This may be due to the Pack-parents being much more actively involved in raising her than the Grangers seem to have been in canon. While she's nowhere near the InsufferableGenius she could be in canon, she's still [[TheSmartGuy the Smart Girl]] of the bunch.
205	----
206	%% * ActionGirl
207	%% * BrainyBrunette
208	* CatsAreMean: Her Animagus form is a calico cat, and she will make you very thoroughly aware that felines have [[DualWielding five pointy ends out of their six extremities]]. But only if you're a bad guy. Otherwise, she will curl up on your lap or around your shoulders in a prime example of CuteKitten. "Kitten" is also Remus's nickname for her, [[ItsOkayIfItsYou not to be used by anyone else]].
209	* DreamWeaver: An ability she shares with Danger [[spoiler:and later Draco.]]
210	* EmbarrassingNickname: "Neenie". Also used as her form name, which is the only time she will allow it outside of Den [[ItsOkayIfItsYou except from Ron and Draco]].
211	* InSeriesNickName: "Kitten" and "Neenie", though only under certain circumstances (see above).
212	* MeaningfulRename: Takes Remus' surname as a gift for him, even referring to him as "Daddy".
213	* TheSmartGirl: Of course. Also displays elements of TheLancer. Will generally act in tandem with Draco in regard to roles, unless Ron is being TheBigGuy today.
214	[[/folder]]
215
216	[[folder:Draco Regulus Black]]
217	!!Draco Regulus Black[[spoiler:[=/=]Reynard Draco Beauvoi]]
218	Obviously, very, ''very'' different from his canon counterpart. The looks, and a certain enjoyment of taking center stage, are just about all that survives. Currently unranked within the Pride, mostly because he cannot resist needling Ron.
219	----
220	* AbusiveParents: Well, Lucius certainly was.
221	* BerserkButton: Do not call him a Malfoy. EVER.
222	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:Lucius Malfoy managed to modify his memories so that he believes he was mistreated by the Pack and that he is Lucius' dutiful son, but he eventually managed to break through the charms.]]
223	* CallingTheOldManOut: Gets this with Lucius.
224	* CunningLikeAFox: Arctic, in this case. As is general with Arctic animals, his coat is white in the winter and brown in the summer. His form name is "Snow Fox", often shortened to just "Fox". Notably, the Pack-parents were calling him "little fox" years before his Animagus was revealed.
225	* DisappearedDad: Lucius got shipped off to Azkaban (much to Draco's relief) and is now [[spoiler:skulking around in the shadows with Voldemort...]]
226	* DreamWeaver: [[spoiler:An ability he gains after being blood-bonded with Hermione.]]
227	* FightingFromTheInside: [[spoiler:While BrainwashedAndCrazy, a part of Draco survived it and went as Fox, helping Draco to break through Lucius Charm.]]
228	* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:To Luna, and in a ceremony officiated by the Beauvoi family's revenants, right as Draco[=/=]Reynard breaks the curse on them.]]
229	* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler:Non-lethal example; he allows Lucius to capture him to let Harry and Ginny escape. Unfortunately, this provides Lucius the opportunity to brainwash him.]]
230	** [[spoiler:Played straight later on. He later drags Lucius into an enclosed room, hoping to be able to kill or render him unable to use his magic, but he seemingly dies in the attempt... though it's subverted in that because he killed Lucius and then replaced him, using an Aging Potion to make himself look older.]]
231	* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Draco dies trying to kill Lucius or turn him into a Squib. However, he does manage to kill and replace his father; it just appeared he died because he used an Aging Potion to make himself look older]].
232	* TheLancer: Though he also displays elements of TheSmartGuy, generally in tandem with Hermione. They and Ron tend to take turns in these roles.
233	* LargeHam: Prone to this. Often does it on purpose, for laughs.
234	* LonelyRichKid: When first introduced.
235	* MagicalFlutist: Anne really has no idea where this came from, but it popped up midway through ''Living with Danger'' and has been around ever since.
236	* MeaningfulRename: As an aspect of leaving behind the pureblood world of the Malfoys, Narcissa asked the Pack to give her son her maiden name. Draco can be... insistent on this point.
237	** [[spoiler:Even more, after faking his death at the hands of Lucius Malfoy. He finally breaks the curse placed by Salazar Slytherin on the Beauvoi family and becomes one of them, becoming Reynard Beauvoi. Reynard is similar to ''renard'', the French (Beauvois and Malfoys were French) word for "fox".]]
238	** [[spoiler: The second rename turns out to be a plot point, since it allows him to say that Draco Black is dead and have it register as truth to any magic that might be checking.]]
239	* MindRape: [[spoiler:See BrainwashedAndCrazy above.]]
240	* MissingMom: Narcissa wasn't around as much as she would have liked, not knowing "how to love" her son. She willingly gave him to the Pack.
241	* RageAgainstTheReflection: As a result of looking so much like his father.
242	--> '''Draco''': "I hate my face."
243	** This has been slightly mollified in recent chapters, as it has been revealed that the ancient Beauvoi family (from which the Malfoys descend, though, as Draco puts it himself, "diagonally with a side helping of murder") also looked rather like Draco does.
244	* SecretLegacy: Draco's ancestor Lucius Beauvoi was a Muggle-born who killed his distant cousin William Beauvoi, a wizard and re-named himself Lucius Malfoy. William Beauvoi was a descendant of Daffyd Beauvoi and his wife, Amanda Slytherin, daughter of Salazar's good son Alex. Lucius was a descendant of Owain, Daffyd's elder brother and his wife Avice of Thornbury. Draco took back the name Beauvoi and its blood through Amanda.
245	* SoulFragment: [[spoiler:His soul split apart when he was four due to the shock of his mother dying and suddenly being adopted into a new and loving family. Fox is that piece.]]
246	* WhiteSheep: As far as the Malfoys are concerned.
247	* YouCantFightFate: From very early in ''Facing Danger'' (summer before his fifth year), Draco has been working on the premise that as seen in Luna's vision, [[spoiler:he will die on 5 June, 1997]]. The Founders have confirmed that the vision will take place, but that "two wildly different possibilities converge in that moment". No word yet on what those possibilities may be. See WMG page for more details. [[spoiler:He apparently dies in a Death Eater attack, but manages to fool everyone, see HeroicSacrifice.]]
248	[[/folder]]
249
250	[[folder:Meghan Lily Black]]
251	Though Meghan has no canon counterpart, one could think of her as every little sister in the world. She has skin slightly lighter than her mother's, about the color of brown sugar, but otherwise resembles Aletha strongly, though Meghan wears her hair in braids. Unranked within the Pride but has her own ways of getting people to do what she wants. (Anne has been informed by fans who have become friends that her own younger sister is obviously the model for Meghan. This was not intentional but probably was inevitable.)
252	----
253	* {{Animorphism}}: A doe. Form name "Pearl", from her name's [[MeaningfulName literal meaning]].
254	* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Eventually gets over it.
255	* {{Bambification}}: Both played straight and subverted. Meghan can bat her eyelashes and look cute like nobody's business, but get her angry at your own risk..
256	* TheBigGal: Interestingly enough, as she's the youngest and smallest of the lot. But you really should not underestimate Meghan Lily Black.
257	* BrattyHalfPint: She gets over it.
258	* GenkiGirl
259	* HealingShiv: Infuses her dagger with phoenix tears. [[ReviveKillsZombie This comes in handy against Nagini's Inferius]].
260	* TheMedic: Thanks to her being an Heir of Ravenclaw, and thus [[HealingHands a natural Healer]].
261	** [[spoiler:She loses her HealingHands after making a deal to help cure Danger, but is still a highly skilled conventional Healer.]]
262	* TagalongKid: Averted. She may be younger, but she's never yet been kidnapped or a serious drag on the team. (Though she did once throw a temper tantrum while on a mission; it got Neville injured and she's been good ever since.)
263	[[/folder]]
264
265	!!The Rest of the Pride
266	[[folder:Ronald Bilius Weasley]]
267	A good bit smarter and more grown-up than he ever bothers to be in canon, probably due to the strong influence of the Pride and some very unpleasant events, starting in his fifth year, which demanded a higher level of maturity from him earlier than canon did. Unranked within the Pride mainly due to his ongoing, mostly joking, rivalry with Draco.
268	----
269	* BrilliantButLazy: He has excellent strategic skills and a strong mechanical aptitude, when he can be bothered to use them. Money, bragging rights, and Hermione upset or in trouble (not necessarily in that order) are his most common motivations.
270	* DisabilitySuperpower: [[spoiler:After losing his sight, he gets by through the use of magic that allows him to see infrared radiation.]]
271	* DumbAndDrummer: "Ron is all boy. Being allowed--encouraged, even--to bang on things would make him blissfully happy."
272	* EyeScream: [[spoiler:He lost his sight in an attempt to save his brother Percy from a Death Eater attack.]]
273	* HandicappedBadass: [[spoiler:Is no less capable now than he ever was before.]]
274	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: As a child, before the Pack moved in; none of his older brothers were in his age range, and the only one nearby who ''was'', was Luna... [[GirlsHaveCooties who was a girl]] and friends with his sister.
275	* TheSmartGuy: Oddly enough, based on his canon portrayal. Swaps out with being TheLancer, basically taking whichever role Draco, Hermione, or both aren't filling today. Can also be TheBigGuy if he sees no reason to engage his brain (see BrilliantButLazy).
276	* VoluntaryShapeshifting: His Animagus form, a red-shouldered hawk. Form name "Redwing".
277	[[/folder]]
278
279	[[folder:Ginevra Molly Weasley]]
280	Alpha female of the Pride, and not just because she's dating Harry. Her strength of character, intelligence, and willingness to step out of the background blossomed much earlier than in canon, probably from the dual effects of a different path through her first year (she did encounter Tom Riddle's diary, but only once, [[spoiler:as Percy was his main "host" through the year]]) and the connivance of the rest of the Pack and Pride to get her over her shyness around Harry.
281	----
282	* ActionGirl
283	* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Conceives a daughter with Harry just before the Final Battle. Said daughter turns out to be the thing that makes the difference between Harry living and dying.]]
284	* FieryRedhead
285	* HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:To Harry as of the latest chapters of ''Surpassing Danger''.]]
286	* TheLeader: Some of this is knock-on from her relationship with Harry; some isn't. Her inclusion in the Pride has given her more screen time, and thus more development, than happened in canon HP.
287	* PantheraAwesome: Her Animagus form, a Eurasian lynx. Her form name, predictably enough, is "Lynx".
288	* {{Tsundere}}: Type B.
289	[[/folder]]
290
291	[[folder:Luna Lovegood]]
292	!!Luna Lovegood[[spoiler:/Beauvoi.]]
293	Far better focused within the real world than in canon, though still apt to go on momentary journeys into her own little world (she likes it there). Unranked within the Pride, though this does not stop her from giving orders to the other Warriors when she feels it necessary. Generally, these are the result of something she can See and no one else can, so she's likely to be obeyed.\
294
295	[[spoiler: She is blood-adopted by Amanda Slytherin in Chapter 57, becoming an Heir of the faithful branch of the Slytherin line.]]
296	----
297	* AuraVision: She can See if a person is lying or telling the truth, spot an Animagus (transformed or un), and [[spoiler:see an image of Voldemort superimposed on a Horcrux.]]
298	* BewareTheNiceOnes: Very nice and serene, if a bit odd. [[spoiler:Her revenge on Lucius for brainwashing Draco was absolutely ''brutal'']].
299	* FreakOut: The only time in the entire series; it happens when [[spoiler:she walks in on Draco LaughingMad and about to be devoured by Lucius's curse, which she later describes as a "giant black snake"]]. She understandably starts screaming and crying like a maniac.
300	* TheHeart: A bit more than Ginny, actually. She tends to keep everyone within the Pride balanced, if only by making an absurd pronouncement at an awkward/emotionally charged moment and diffusing everything in laughter.
301	* HoistByHisOwnPetard:[[spoiler: apparently suffers this when she tries to use the poison on Lucius Malfoy after he kills Draco, but it is all an act, as she finds out Draco replaced his biological father and faked his death.]]
302	* HonestyIsTheBestPolicy
303	* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Tells Amanda that she'd be perfectly fine with Draco moving on to her, so long as he were happy. Amanda asks if she's invoking this for sympathy points: she's not.
304	* OracularUrchin: Will tell you things about yourself you didn't know. And possibly didn't want to.
305	** Luna is arguably a living deconstruction of this trope. [[spoiler:She actually asks to be rid of her ability after seeing something she's not ready for, then is unprepared for and overwhelmed by it when she asks for it back years later.]]
306	* TheOwlKnowingOne: Yet another fitting Animagus form, the snowy owl. Form name is "Starwing".
307	* ThePollyanna: A subtler, more subdued version, but Luna always has an optimistic outlook.
308	* {{Seers}}: Gained some degree of both clairvoyance and prescience in the accident that killed her mother. [[spoiler: Becomes far more powerful after being blood-adopted into the Slytherin line]].
309	* SilkHidingSteel: Odd and serene she may be, but you ''do not'' mess with anyone Luna cares for.
310	* SnakeTalk: [[spoiler:Gains access to this power upon becoming an Heir of Slytherin.]]
311	* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: Her plan to get revenge on Lucius for [[spoiler:brainwashing Draco]]? [[spoiler:Stabbing him with a poison that will strip away his magic and force him to obey the Pack, if it doesn't outright (and painfully) kill him first]]. Not that he doesn't have it coming.
312	[[/folder]]
313
314	[[folder:Neville Longbottom]]
315	Beta male of the Pride, though the Pride may not know that yet. Both more confident and (since summer before sixth year [[spoiler:when his father was killed]]) colder than in canon. He can, in fact, be somewhat unnerving to the other Warriors, which is part of the reason for his unofficial rank. The rest of it is simply that giving either Ron or Draco any power over the other, at their current levels of maturity, would probably end in disaster.
316	----
317	* AwesomeButImpractical: The Hufflepuff bloodline gift of "whispering people invisible". An incredibly versatile and powerful gift, but requires so much magic to use that he can't do it without tapping into Hogwarts's reserves.
318	* TheCaptain: Well, at least they call him "Captain" (also his form name). And he's not bad at taking charge when needed.
319	* GreenThumb: As an Heir of Hufflepuff, can grow and manipulate plants.
320	* TheHeart: Known for dropping just the right bit of advice, at just the right time.
321	* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Had this ''bad'' before the Pride came along.
322	* LockedIntoStrangeness: By the early days of his sixth year, he qualifies due to [[spoiler: overstress while taking down the hedges at the end of the Triwizard third task. Even for an Heir of Hufflepuff, some things take a lot out of you.]]
323	* SecretLegacy: Descendant of Helga Hufflepuff
324	* SugarAndIcePersonality: Develops one after [[spoiler:his father's death]]. He's very warm to the Pride, Pack, and DA, but usually pretty aloof and cold to anyone else, but ''especially'' Death Eaters.
325	[[/folder]]
326
327	!Pack-Friends
328	Those designated "Pack-friends" are those who are aides and helpmates of the Pack and Pride without being Pack and Pride themselves. Symbolised on the Pack-pendants by a phoenix, a dragon, a cat, and some sort of other bird, [[spoiler: a raven]] these four represent those who the Pack and Pride can trust with their secrets.

333
334	[[folder:Rubeus Hagrid - Dragon]]

344
345	!The Founders and Family
346	The Founders are: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin. Godric and Salazar used to be best friends. This is not true anymore, as they had a huge fight and Slytherin left the school. However, the difference here is that Slytherin took his elder son with him...and that's just the beginning\
347
348	[[spoiler: Revelations late in ''Surpassing Danger'' suggest that the Founder's spouses come from the land (and surrounding environs) of [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia Narnia]]. Further details are provided in the AU fic "The Lion, the Snake, and the Safe-Room".]]
349
350	In addition to their blood Heirs, Godric Gryffindor was the stepfather of a little boy named Emrys, who studied magic under his good friend Salazar Slytherin. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Emrys decided to become the Founders' "friendly enemy"; he plotted a time-jump back to his stepparents' births and guided their lives to ensure they would meet and found Hogwarts. When Gryffindor met his mother, Emrys accidentally saw his younger self, and the interactions between the magic of his two selves threw his adult self back in time again, much farther than he had intended to go. Realizing he could never return to his own time, he instead began to guide the lives of those living in that time as he had his own family. Thus was born the legend of the sorcerer known as Merlin...
351
352	!!The Gryffindor line
353	The gifts of the Gryffindor line are: primary, control over fire; secondary, the ability to create magical artifacts which hold their magic well (such as the Sorting Hat). The Marauder's Map is also an example of the latter, as there was definitely a Gryffindor Heir involved in its making.
354
355	The Gryffindor blessing on the Pack-pendants is that they shall grow hot when someone the wearer cares for is in emotional distress and cold when someone the wearer cares for is in physical danger, as well as the appropriate carving glowing to indicate who needs assistance.
356	----
357	[[folder:Godric Gryffindor]]
358	Often called "Rick" by Alex or the other children of the Founders, Godric resembles Rufus Scrimgeour (Anne was writing ''Living with Danger'' around the time JKR released Scrimgeour's description before HBP). He is the de facto leader of the Founders, generally very rule-abiding but will occasionally bend them. He limps due to an injury received at the first Battle of Hogwarts. His honorary Heirs are Harry and Ginny.
359	----
360	[[/folder]]
361
362	[[folder:Hestia Gryffindor]]
363	Godric's wife, mother of Maura and Paul, as well as of Myrrdin Emrys by her first marriage. Princess of the island of Terabithia.
364	[[/folder]]
365
366	[[folder:Maura Gryffindor]]
367	Gryffindor's daughter, the elder child of the family, is intelligent and caring. It is her line which exists in present-day DV. She is also the Founder who gifted Remus and Danger with their power over fire. She trained under her father, and her honorary Heir is Remus [[spoiler: who is also her blood Heir]].
368	[[/folder]]
369
370	[[folder:Joshua]]
371	Maura's husband, a wizard who crafted magical toys.
372	[[/folder]]
373
374	[[folder:Paul Gryffindor]]
375	Gryffindor's son is a bit of a daredevil and, according to his sister, "still not entirely housetrained, even after all these years". Sirius and Remus claim he is very like they remember James Potter in his heyday. His line, perhaps not surprisingly, has died out. He trained under his father, and his honorary Heir is Ron.
376	[[/folder]]
377
378	[[folder: Myrrdin Emrys]]
379	Princess Hestia's son by her first marriage. Studied under Salazar Slytherin at Hogwarts, though he remained loyal to his father when Slytherin departed. After the Battle of Hogwarts, Emrys decided to become the Founders' "friendly enemy"; he plotted a time-jump back to his stepparents' births and guided their lives to ensure they would meet and found Hogwarts. When Gryffindor met his mother, Emrys accidentally saw his younger self, and the interactions between the magic of his two selves threw his adult self back in time again, much farther than he had intended to go. Realizing he could never return to his own time, he instead began to guide the lives of those living in that time as he had his own family. Thus was born the legend of the sorcerer known as Merlin...
380	---
381	* NeverTheSelvesShallMeet: The cause of his second time-jump. When he and his younger self accidentally met and recognized each other, their souls both tried to expel the other. The younger Emrys, who belonged in that time, triumphed, while the elder was sent hurtling through time.
382	[[/folder]]
383
384	!!The Hufflepuff line
385	The gifts of the Hufflepuff line are: primary, control over plant life; secondary, the ability to "whisper oneself invisible", though this requires a fairly constant power source, such as Hogwarts itself. The Pride has been far more dangerous since Neville discovered he could do this... \
386
387	The Hufflepuff blessing on the Pack-pendants is that the chain shall grow and shrink as desired, and may be separated and recombined without need for a clasp.
388	----
389	[[folder:Helga Hufflepuff]]
390	Occasionally called "Gaga" by such children of the Founders as think they can dodge what she will do to them for it (usually a dunk in the lake), she was the first Headmistress of Hogwarts. Her honorary Heir is Danger.
391	[[/folder]]
392
393	[[folder:Captain Ignatius]]
394	Dame Helga's husband, the captain of the ship that first brought students to Hogwarts before there was a Hogwarts Express.
395	[[/folder]]
396
397	[[folder:Adam Hufflepuff]]
398	Hufflepuff's son is generally a steady presence, not too exciting but good to have on your side. He trained under his mother, and his honorary Heir is Neville, also his blood Heir.
399	[[/folder]]
400
401	[[folder:Brittany]]
402	Adam Hufflepuff's wife, described by Anne as "capable".
403	[[/folder]]
404
405	!!The Ravenclaw line
406	The gifts of the Ravenclaw line are: primary, wandless Healing; secondary, clairvoyant/present Seeing, though this was subordinated to the Healing gift at some point shortly after Rowena's own lifetime. A Ravenclaw Heir can Heal him- or herself once, but the power so used will set up a feedback loop and burn itself out, to the point where an Heir who has done this will not even pass the power down to his or her children.\
407
408	The Ravenclaw blessing on the Pack-pendants is that those wearing the same chain may speak mind-to-mind, and the chains may be used to store and view memories like a Penseive.
409	----
410	[[folder:Rowena Ravenclaw]]
411	Called "Weena" by anyone who has escaped Helga's wrath and wants a bigger challenge, Rowena has white hair thanks to overexertion with her Healing talent during life. Her honorary Heir is Aletha, also her blood Heir.
412	[[/folder]]
413
414	[[folder:Master Sylvanus]]
415	Lady Rowena's husband, the first groundskeeper.
416	[[/folder]]
417
418	[[folder:Margaret Ravenclaw]]
419	The red-haired daughter of Rowena was a Squib, but remained with her family most of her life in any case, as there was less secrecy around magic in their day. The things her family could do fascinated her, even though she could not do them herself, and her devotion was rewarded after her life by her inclusion in the group which "lives" at the Founders' Castle. It is her line which continues to the present day in the DV, and her honorary Heir is Meghan, also her blood Heir. In her "Fate" role, she is Atropos, who cuts the threads of life.
420	[[/folder]]
421
422	[[folder:Brenna Ravenclaw]]
423	The dark-haired daughter of Rowena never married, as the man she had hoped to wed was killed at the first Battle of Hogwarts. She trained under her mother, and her honorary Heir is Hermione. In her "Fate" role, she is Clotho, who spins the threads.
424	[[/folder]]
425
426	[[folder:Sophia Ravenclaw]]
427	The blonde daughter of Rowena seems not to have bequeathed her namesake wisdom to her descendants, as Alex has recently confirmed that one of them, Melinda Hastings, destroyed the diadem of Ravenclaw in 1205 in an attempt to create a new method of magical transportation (she would work out Portkeys the next year, 1206). Her line has since died out. She trained under her mother, and her honorary Heir is Luna. In her "Fate" role, she is Lachesis, who measures the threads.
428	[[/folder]]
429
430	!!The Slytherin line
431	The gifts of the Slytherin line are: primary, prophetic/future Seeing (denied by the extant Slytherin line to the point where this has all but vanished); secondary, Parseltongue, the ability to understand and speak to snakes.
432
433	The Slytherin blessing on the Pack-pendants is that they shall be solid and substantial only towards those things and persons that their wearers wish them to be solid towards, passing through all other things like illusion.
434	----
435	[[folder:Salazar Slytherin]]
436	Even a nastier character than in canon: he has been confirmed as cursing his "unfaithful" son, Alexander, so that all Alex's children but one would die, and so forth in every successive generation. He was killed at the first Battle of Hogwarts, apparently in the course of attempting to loose Sangre the basilisk on the grounds, by one of Gryffindor's students who had lost family members to Slytherin's "purity" ideals. As he has broken the Founders' Oath, he should "never find rest, by day or by night, in life or in death".
437	[[/folder]]
438
439	[[folder:Lady Therese]]
440	Wife of Salazar, described as a Baroness.
441	[[/folder]]
442
443	[[folder:Matthias Slytherin]]
444	Salazar's older son has never appeared in any iteration of the DV, but his brother named his own son after him, so there must have been love there at some point. His line continues into the present day, in the person of Lord Voldemort. He has broken the Founders' Oath, and therefore should "never find rest, by day or by night, in life or in death", though possibly not in the same way as his father, under whom he studied.
445	[[/folder]]
446
447	[[folder:Alexander "Alex" Slytherin]]
448	Salazar's younger son studied magic under Helga Hufflepuff, which should have been his father's first warning that this child might not be quite what he was hoping for. He fell in love with a Muggleborn witch (who studied under Rowena) and refused to give her up at his father's command, choosing instead to stay with the other Founders when the break came. Their children, Amanda and Matthias, were the first to fall under Salazar's curse, with Amanda forced to choose whether to save her brother or her beloved, Dafydd Beauvoi, from drowning. Alex's line, as transmitted through Dafydd and Amanda, died out in the early 1600's. His honorary Heirs are Sirius and Draco.
449	* Alex has recently stated that an Heir of his will appear at some point before the current war is over, but has not made the precise process known to anyone, stating only that they will not need to look for, or re-swear the Founders' Oath with, this Heir.
450	** [[spoiler:It is Luna, revealed after her and Draco (now Reynard Beauvoi) return from Voldemort's refuge five months after Draco faked his death.]]
451	* One of the "yearmates", the members of the DA involved in the yearlong process of breaking a long-standing spell which allows for the magical determination of blood status, is a Muggleborn Ravenclaw witch in the elder cubs' year named Amanda Smythe. She occasionally acts very oddly, and has an interest in Draco, who descends from the brother of Dafydd Beauvoi. Alex has stated that she is neither a ghost nor evil, but that neither is she "normal", and that she does have her own agenda.
452	** [[spoiler:She is the reincarnation of Amanda Slytherin, trying to find a descendant of the Beauvoi so that he can break the curse. Amanda Smythe dies facing Voldemort to help her friends escape.]]
453	[[/folder]]
454
455	[[folder:Anne of Eyrton]]
456	Alex's wife, mother of Amanda and Matthias. Also an AuthorAvatar, sharing her name with Dangerverse's author.
457	[[/folder]]
458
459	[[folder:Amanda Slytherin]]
460	Daughter of Alex and Anne.
461	[[/folder]]
462
463	[[folder: Daffyd Beauvoi]]
464	Amanda Slytherin's husband.
465	* RevenantZombie: Dangerverse revenants are ghosts rather than zombies, but otherwise fit the trope pretty well, being wizards who believed some task to be so important that their souls are bound to the world until it is finished. In Daffyd's case, he swore that he would never pass on until Amanda's soul was healed and she could go with him.
466	[[/folder]]
467
468	[[folder:Matt Slytherin]]
469	Son of Alex and Anne, younger brother to Amanda. He died due to the curse Salazar Slytherin placed on his family.
