CAROLYN PORTER IS NOT THE MOST PLEASANT OF WOMEN, AND THAT'S STATING IT LIGHTLY. BUT BEFORE I GO INTO DETAIL ABOUT HER PERSONALITY, LET ME GIVE YOU SOME BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON HER. FIRST THING'S FIRST, SHE IS THE DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS PROFESSOR AT HOGWARTS. SHE HAS BEEN THERE SINCE SEPTEMBER. SO THIS IS ONLY HER FIRST YEAR AS A PROFESSOR. SOME ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (THAT PEOPLE WILL NOT KNOW) INCLUDES: SHE IS FIFTY-SIX. SHE HAS A SEVENTEEN-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AT HOGWARTS; THEIR LAST NAMES ARE DIFFERENT, SO NOBODY REALLY KNOWS. HER HUSBAND DIED A YEAR AGO. JUST TO NAME A FEW THINGS. BUT ANYWAY, LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HER PERSONALITY. SHE TENDS TO BE VERY DISCONNECTED FROM PEOPLE. SHE DOES NOT LIKE TALKING TO PEOPLE ABOUT HERSELF OR ABOUT THINGS THAT DO NOT INTEREST HER, BUT SHE IS OBVIOUSLY VERY VAIN. SHE TENDS TO BE CONDESCENDING AND RUDE TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN A LOWER POSITION OR WHO ARE YOUNGER THAN HER. SHE DEMANDS RESPECT, AND MOST PEOPLE GIVE IT TO HER OUT OF FEAR.SHE IS VERY GOOD AT INTIMIDATING PEOPLE, AND SHE USES THAT TO HER ADVANTAGE. SHE IS IMPATIENT, AND SHE WILL NOT HESITATE TO TAP THE TOE OF HER SHOE OR ROLL HER EYES IF YOU ANNOY HER. THOSE ARE SOME OF THE NEGATIVE THINGS ABOUT HER. NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO POSITIVES (WHICH YOU WILL DOUBTFULLY SEE MANY OF). SHE IS AN INTELLIGENT WOMAN WITH A LOT TO SAY. SHE WILL NOT HESITATE TO SPEAK HER MIND. SHE IS ALSO LOYAL AND, SOMETIMES, KIND. SHE IS ALSO VERY MOTHERLY, NOT THAT SHE SHOWS THAT TO ANYONE, SOMETIMES SHE DOESN'T EVEN SHOW THAT MOTHERLY AFFECTION TO HER DAUGHTER. LET'S SEE... WHAT ELSE? CAROLYN KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS, AND SHE GOES FOR IT. SHE DOES NOT STOP UNTIL SHE HAS IT. A FEW MORE THINGS: SHE HAS VARIOUS NICKNAMES THAT HER COLLEAGUES HAVE GIVEN HER AND A FEW THAT THE STUDENTS HAVE COME UP WITH SINCE SHE'S STARTED WORKING AT HOGWARTS, LIKE DRAGON LADY, SNOW QUEEN, AND HELL ON HEELS. ONLY ONE PERSON IS ALLOWED TO CALL HER "CARRIE" AND THAT'S HER EX-HUSBAND. BUT ANYWAY. RELATIONSHIPS. SHE WILL NEED FRIENDS, BUT SHE WILL DOUBTFULLY HAVE VERY MANY. FRIENDS NEED TO BE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTELLIGENT AND HAVE SOME COMMON SENSE, PROBABLY RAVENCLAWS OR SLYTHERINS. HER FRIENDS WILL ALSO NEED TO BE PASSIVE AND LET HER CALL ALL THE SHOTS. SHE WILL HAVE ENEMIES AS WELL, PROBABLY MORE OF THOSE THAN FRIENDS. HER COLLEAGUES WILL LIKELY HATE HER, AS WILL MANY STUDENTS. THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T HATE HER WILL ADMIRE HER FOR HER ATTITUDE AND THE WAY SHE COMMANDS RESPECT - AND SINCE SHE WEARS FIVE-INCH HEELS ALL THE FRIGGING TIME. AND THEN THERE'S THE LOVE LIFE, WHICH SHE PROBABLY WON'T HAVE MUCH OF SINCE SHE'S FIFTY-SIX. I AM REQUESTING HER EX-HUSBAND, THOUGH, WHO WILL BECOME HER "FINAL" ... AGAIN. ANYWAY, LET'S GET TO PLOTTING!
