~She ran with a gang of girls prior to Hogwarts and continued to have a gang after starting school.

Background

Role During the War: Pansy was a supporter of Pure-blood supremacy during the war but felt women had no business involving themselves in men's work. She was a Prefect, a member of Umbridge's Inquisitorial Squad, and Head Girl. Pansy would have spent time supporting Draco had he not pushed her away, instead she channeled that energy into bossing people around and being cruel to make herself feel better. She claims to have only been thinking about her fellow students, the castle itself and the staff when she attempted to persuade those at Hogwarts to give Harry Potter up to Lord Voldemort. She was actually scared out of her wits and thought it was the only way she would survive.

In the Past Year: After attempting to persuade those at Hogwarts to give Harry up to Voldemort, she was forced by ridicule and the inability to find work to leave the wizarding world. She spent the next year making her way as a Muggle fashion model before resurfacing last summer.

Future Plans: Concentrate on establishing herself as a designer of witches fashions and become a fashion icon in the wizarding world. Pansy would like to expand her business to include beauty products after she's made a name for herself in fashion.

Psychology

Introvert/Extrovert: Extrovert
Phobias/Fears: Being ostracized. Losing her magic.
Mental Health: Self-destructive but sane. It amuses her to make people cry and putting others in their place makes her feel better about herself.
Personality: Pansy is proud, willful, and self-centered. Unfortunately, she is also self-destructive. She starves herself, flirts with danger, and has a thing for unobtainable or dangerous men. She dislikes being told what to do, but will bend over backwards to do whatever she thinks will please a man she's set her sights on, whether he's interested or not. She's clever and resourceful, though not particularly talented at independent spell work, but she can follow directions and is able to be taught as evidenced by her ability to cast both the Imperius and Cruciatus Curses after taking Carrow's Dark Arts class. She has the ability to sway weaker people to her point of view and is comfortable in a leadership role. Pansy is beginning to understand that she is often self-destructive and is far more successful when she concentrates on doing what is best for her instead of worrying about pleasing others, especially men who don't necessary want to be pleased.

Romantic/Sexual

Sexual Orientation: Straight
Beliefs About Sex: Pansy desperately wants to be loved. She sees sex as a tool to manipulate men into loving her.
Past Relationships: Draco Malfoy (non-sexual), Italian Muggle football player (minor dalliance), Blaise Zabini (one-night stand).
Current Relationship Status: Single. She would like to date and eventually marry. Unfortunately, she is attracted to the wrong sort of men and is just now learning that the sort of men she prefers are not the marrying sort.
General: She dislikes being told what to do, but will bend over backwards to do whatever she thinks will please a man she's set her sights on, whether he's interested or not, and has a thing for unobtainable and dangerous men. She glamorizes and romanticizes the smallest and the cruelest things men do to feed her desire to be loved.
