Her biggest loyalty is to her family though and she will do anything to see them happy and safe in life.

POSITION: Prefect

PERSONALITY: Narcissa is an intricate person. While she is a typical Pureblood in many situations she is also completely different in other ones. She values loyalty to her friends and family above all else as a result of her relationship with her mother whom she was extremely close to as a child. She believes that if one does not have loyal friends and family that they cannot go as far as they can in life as they would be able to if they had friends and family to support each other in their lives. Her loyalty to her family is fierce and she will do anything for them.

Despite believing in loyalty Narcissa doesn't believe in being honest to people if they aren’t a close family member as she believes that telling the complete truth can be used against her in ways that could be disastrous for her and her family. If they are a close member of her family she will be honest with them as she knows that she can trust them to not tell people things that she wants to stay secret and give her an honest opinion of what they think of something if she needs the advice. These are mainly her sister Bella, her mother and her uncle Orion.

Not only did Druella teach Narcissa loyalty and her opinions on honesty she taught Narcissa how to use her looks and personality to get what she wanted out of people. Over the years she honed this charm to what it is today where she can just smile and act kind to someone to get them to believe that she is sincere in what she is saying. Many people like this as they always enjoy having someone listen to them even though Narcissa is only doing this to find out information that she or her husband can use at a later date to blackmail them into doing something that they otherwise wouldn't do.

Growing up as a member of the Black family she learnt that she was the best of the best and expected to be treated as such. Due to this she only believes that other high Pureblood's are worth socialising with and even then she believes that she is better than the majority of them. Often looking down at people over her nose like there is a stench in the air she displays her distaste for Halfbloods, mudbloods and blood traitors like it comes naturally for her. While this has made her a few enemies she isn't at all fazed by it as it is part of who she is.

Narcissa is probably the least open minded you can come. While she will listen to people’s opinions if they are from trusted friends and family she generally doesn’t listen to opinions as a rule. This is mostly due to her upbringing as it taught her that the only people worth listening to are her family, other Purebloods of the same standing and close friends. It is very hard to get her to change her opinion on something if she has gotten something into her head whether it is something she wants to do or an opinion about someone else

Despite all of her other traits Narcissa is first and foremost as socialite. She loves throwing balls and tea parties of others by similar standards and embraces the praise and respect that comes from throwing them. Cissa could spend all her time planning and throwing these events as it brings her great joy to see everyone worthy of knowing in the same place at once without the restrictions of being around lesser beings (Halfbloods, Mudbloods etc). She also loves having the finest of clothes, food and drink around her and proudly displays that she can easily afford to purchase and use these things like it was an everyday occurrence which for her it most likely is.

Of course, the thing that drives her the most is the safety and happiness of her family. In fact this can influence her mood swings so much that someone once commented they thought she suffered from some sort of depression at times - which she doesn't. It just means that their actions, thoughts and feelings influence her own quite a lot to the point that she often feels guilty about the smallest of things.

Even on the opposite side of this she is strong enough to support them, especially in this time of need. She can take control of situations in a single second and get them under control again. She can form plans and execute them perfectly even if she doesn't like them, especially if they will help her family. She can keep up this appearance with no difficulty after years of practice. She is willing to go to any extent to help protect her family their safety, happiness and the family name.

PARENTS: Druella and Cygnus
THEIR RELATIONSHIP: While growing up Narcissa adored her mother and was a favourite of her mother's. From her mother she learnt how to love her family, how to be a proper Pureblood woman and all sorts of other things. Narcissa would describe her mother not only as a mother but a friend, protector and confident in all matters to do with her life.

Her relationship with her father is nowhere near as close as that of her and her mother but she does respect him and love him nonetheless. Also viewed as a protector of sorts Cygnus is someone that she can trust to make sure she is doing everything properly and has the best that she possibly can in life
SIBLINGS: Bellatrix and Andromeda
FAMILY DYNAMICS: Narcissa adores her sisters and looks up to them, nearly worshiping them in a lot of ways. All three are incredibly close and Cissa would do anything for them.

PERSONAL HISTORY: Born on May 2nd 1955 to Cygnus and Druella Black she was the youngest of three children. Being the youngest meant that she didn't have as much pressure on her to behave properly though she did do so none the less. As a young child she spent much time with her sisters playing and learning with them even though she tended to worship them and think they were the best there could be. Even before she turned five she had her mother wrapped around her finger and would spend many hours with her just talking of sitting on her lap. Druella was her protector and mother, she would protect her from anything and dote on her like no-one else would, she was Druella's baby and nothing would change that, even when she grew up.

Her relationship with her father was slightly different to that of her one with her mother. Narcissa knew that she could depend on her father to have what is best for her. He was the one at the age of five or six that started to teach her the basics of magical theory, reading and writing to make sure she would be able to keep up with her sisters and go along way in her life after all it wouldn't do to have a Black who failed school instead of graduating near the top of her class.

Even with the lessons from her father in academics her mother spent a lot of time telling her stories about her life as a child as well as teaching her how to be a proper young lady. From Druella she inherited her passion for clothes and tea parties and took great delight in learning all about how these things worked which pleased Druella greatly as her two other daughters weren't all that interested in that sort of thing. Many nights Narcissa ended up in Druella's bed cuddling up to her as she would feel warm and secure in her arms.

When Bellatrix and then Andromeda went off to Hogwarts leaving Narcissa at home she found refuge with her mother who would comfort her and take her mind off it. During those four years her mother and she grew even closer so that by the time Narcissa turned eleven she didn't want to leave her mother behind even though she was going to Hogwarts like she had always dreamed of doing.

Hogwarts: At Hogwarts she was immediately sorted into Slytherin like the rest of her family, pleasing her parents and older sisters to no end. While at first she was rather quite and known as 'Bellatrix's youngest sister' she eventually made herself a few friends and grew out of her shell eventually becoming a popular young woman with her house mates. While she worked at the majority of subjects (Charms, Defense, Transfiguration and Potions) she refused to work in some of the subjects that didn't interest her and 'weren't proper subjects for young ladies to take (Herbology and History of Magic- she preferred reading books on her own for this subject than go to class).

Now just starting her fifth year she has just noticed Lucius Malfoy, a Slytherin boy two years above her at Hogwarts. He was perfect in every way she could imagine- handsome, smart, Pureblood, determined and not afraid to take control. She is determined to snag him as hers as well as focusing on her school work and doign the best that she can in her OWLs.


APPEARANCE: Detailed Appearance: Standing at just over 5'5" Narcissa is quite slim but not overly so. Her blonde hair, which is rather unusual for someone in the Black Family, falls down to not far below her shoulders and is slightly wavy. Along with her blue eyes and high cheek bones she looks rather delicate and fragile though she isn't at all like this. She will only wears the best of clothes that money can buy as she won't accept anything less than that.

Mannerisms: Narcissa holds herself well with a poised air about her. She tries to appear as proper, proud as well as coming off as better than other people. It doesn't hurt if they try and avoid her due to this and know not to mess with her.

When she is bored she'll often tap her fingers unconsciously

THE ROLE
First person roleplaying sample: cissa_m or mrscissa
Third person roleplaying sample: Narcissa looked around the ballroom with a trained eye of someone who had hosted many of these events. Since she was old enough, she had always helped her mother with hers and when she married she hosted her own. It was something she was proud of and enjoyed a lot. It was her goal to host the best ball each year and each year she succeeded. After all she would settle for nothing less from this - from anything for that matter. It hadn't taken her long to train Lucius into how to best help her with these events, something she was grateful for.

"That is everything," Narcissa said with a nod as she sensed her husband come up behind her. "We out did ourselves," she said with a hint of pride to her voice as she turned to face him. Standing on her tip toes she placed a kiss on his cheek. "What do you think? I think it will be a fabulous affair as per usual.”

A light smirk laced her lips as she spoke but then that wasn't a surprise in itself. She always was quite proud of who she was and what she could accomplish – she was a Black by birth and Malfoy by marriage, it was to be expected. Of course she was better than everyone else in all fields. Well most fields, there was a couple she was aware that she wasn't strong at but to her the only ones better than her either cheated or were Pureblood's from other powerful families which wasn't as bad. Well it could have bee worse... Right?
