With the capture of Verandi Farley and several high-ranking Trossach members, the British wizarding world has finally caught a break. The rate of rogue werewolf attacks have started dropping at a steady rate and, hopefully, things will stay that way. The Ministry is starting to loosen some restrictions, like not arresting werewolves standing on the street for loitering, however there’s still an obvious power imbalance between wizardfolk and werewolves.
The Cotswolds pack are continuing to advocate for the rights of werewolves and petitioning to change the legislation that has been set in motion by the current Minister for Magic, whilst the remaining Trossachs members are trying to stay out of the spotlight and keep a low profile… for now.
Whilst the British wizarding world seems to have calmed down, the same cannot be said for over in Northern Europe where a rebellion of magical creatures has risen. The state of things has gotten so bad that the European Ministry has enacted protocols to protect those under eighteen whilst their adult witches and wizards fight to keep control of their countries.
Students from Durmstrang have been sent to Hogwarts to keep them safe and those not old enough to attend school have been sent to live with relatives or designated British Ministry officials outside of Europe for the time being.
Will the low rates of werewolf attacks in Britain continue? How long will Durmstrang students stay at Hogwarts? Will the creatures usurp the wizardfolk in Northern Europe? Only time will tell.
SEPTEMBER 2019 It's been a very long, eventful summer in the wizarding world. A baby was stolen, several high ranking Trossach members were imprisoned, and werewolf attacks have drastically dropped as a result. What will happen now school has returned?
MAY 2019 An attempt to capture the beta of the Trossachs has been launched. Were the Aurors successful in their mission? Go read more here!

SPECIES: vampire
BLOOD STATUS: pureblood
JOB: student
HOUSE: Ravenclaw
PLAYBY: Cassi Thomson
BIRTHDAY: 5 May 2002
PERSONALITY
Positive Traits: smarter than you, elegant, passionate, cultured, loyal, focused (though not so great for the subject of her focus), inventive (paired with her cruel streak.. watch out), curious Negative Traits: no morals, manipulative, purist, elitist, aligned with the dark-arts, arrogant, vindictive, cruel, Italian bitch witch, Quirks and Habits: Alana would probably sooner plot your demise than smile at you - this has become even more apparent since her turning into a vampire this summer. She's a tiny girl, even coming into her sixth year she's only as big as the firsties but she has a definite chihuahau personality and often initiates the fights that her brother finishes. Before she was turned into a vampire, Alana's favourite thing to chew on was lettuce and she'd often be found simply eating the leaves in the school courtyard similar to children chewing chips. Every night before she retires, Alana makes sure to apply an ointment handed down through the generations to keep her skin lovely and clear of blemishes; it is stored in an ancient container made of hollowed out unicorn hooves.
Likes: Alana is obsessed with unicorns and the colour purple - literally anything that is able to be personalised will have one or both of these elements. And blood. Merlin does Alana love blood. Fiercely Italian, if she were a muggle she'd only wear designers from the peninsula - as she is not, she does make sure that she visits the good wizarding tailors in Venezia for all of her clothing needs.
Dislikes: muggles and muggle borns, the English putting pineapple on pizza, the food at Hogwarts, unintelligent and weak people, werewolves, cheap and poorly made clothes on anyone. Boggart: Aiden dead Mirror of Erised: blood for days Patronus: Raven
HISTORY
2007 - one of Alana's earliest memories is visiting a unicorn reserve with her family. At five years old, Alana was captivated by the beauty and elegance of these majestic, magical creatures. Summer of 2015 - Alana's family enjoys a seaside vacation in Capri, where the blonde works on her tan and gets many admiring looks from the various wizarding folk that share the same ancient resort. Many young hearts were broken that summer as Alana was very unattainable... except one particular person, with whom she kept in touch via owl for the next two years in secret. Summer of 2018 - Alana reunites with this person on yet another family vacation in Capri, Italy and when they all return to England... well Aiden finds out that Alana has become a vampire. For the first time in their history, Alana is secretive surrounding the circumstances and the pair have their first major fight. The pair do not talk for weeks until they begin to pack for Hogwarts and Alana asks that Aiden keep her condition private. The pair devise a plan to get through their last two years at Hogwarts without people finding out Alana is a vampire after laws barring werewolf students were introduced the year before.

Roleplay example:
A small jar of night cream, specially formulated with enough bubotuber pus to keep a lady’s face free from unsightly blemishes, was almost empty on Alana’s night stand. It was a recipe she had been using since she was a prepubescent girl at Hogwarts and it had been passed down through generations of Valentino women. Alana held the delicate jar up to the candle light - it was certainly beautiful as an antique unicorn hoof. Yet inside was almost empty and Alana sighed; she would have to prepare a new batch.
The silk of Alana’s royal purple night gown floated effortlessly as the young lady made her way through the large estate she’d taken refuge in. Once outside, the evening air was pleasant as a breeze swept past her. It blew her hair and gown at an ugly angle, across her face that required adjusting - why the cosmos had to joke at her expense was beyond Alana. Still, she would not be perturbed from completing tonight’s mini-mission and the door to the green house opened with a very quick alohamora.
Inside the air was thick, yet still; the various begnin magical plants were resting but if one listened closely there was movement towards the back - the more ‘dangerous’ plants stirred with her presence. It made the little witch’s lips curl into the start of a smile to think she might be considered prey; she understood their base need to seek and destroy. The deeper Alana slid into Skylar’s green house, the darker it became despite the sun only just leaving the western horizon. She was careful where she placed her bare feet with each step and mindful that no plant snared at her night gown or dress. Finally the small table of bubotuber plants were within Valentino’s reach and she made quick work of harvesting the pus. It wasn’t terribly much she required; just one squeeze from the healthiest (read: ugliest) plant into her crystal vial would do ... but the stench was something Alana could never get used to. The lips curled into a grimace now and she held her breath for the moment.
Within minutes of the harvest, Alana was back inside the mansion and headed toward the kitchen. Once there, she produced a small gathering of tools from a delicate drawstring purse she’d brought with her from her suite. No doubt her host Zabinski had the rest of the ingredients in copious amounts at her disposal in the well appointed kitchen - though Alana would argue it was a mere trifle compared to that of the Valentino estate. Quietly Alana began her work.
”Be gone - out of my sight - you little beasts!” Alana hissed as some snivelling house elves attempted to assist her. ”I will ship off your nose, grind it and then sprinkle it in your eyes,” she snarled again as the vampire became increasingly annoyed. ”Now ... dragon claw...” she began to gather her ingredients, but as one of the elves held up the claw triumphantly, Alana could have used her very own beautiful wand to pierce its brains through its eyes.
”SKYLAR!” Alana cursed the man with his disobedient dog bodies. ”I will kill these creatures if they don’t disappear right now,” her eyes were wide and fangs out - she wasn’t really speaking to her host but hoped it would be enough that the dirty things would disappear.
