Residence: She stays at Hogwarts, during the school year. For the summer and occasional holiday weekends, she stays at the Beaumont family home in London.
Appearance: Daphne is considerably tall, she stands at around 5''8 she is tall for being a girl. She has light red, almost blond looking hair, she has a fair complexion and blue eyes. As she was born into and has grown up in a wealthy Pureblood family, she is very careful of her appearance and picky in the kind of clothes she wears. Her clothes are always well made, and tailored by the best, she favors dark colors like black, purples, the darker shade of green, and red though she does wear more vibrant colors if she feels the occasion calls for it.
Personality: Daphne is intelligent, loves learning new things, and is witty all qualities of the house she comes from. She loves reading and learning new things, especially when it comes to subjects that interest her. She has a pride in her originality in her ideas and methods she uses for doing things, her curiosity can get the better of her quite many times, she is bold and isn't afraid to speak her mind. She has a disregard for rules and practises the kinds of magic people usually may shun, out of curiosity. She is hard-working and diligent, and is inclined to dismiss certain social expectation to satisfy her own curiosity. She is brave, and isn't afraid to show her talents in a duel.
Daphne isn't as social as some others may be but that doesn't mean she is an introvert, she does spend a lot of time with other people. Daphne can be manipulative and try to influence people in a subtle and slow manner, Daphne doesn't like to rush things. Daphne is competitive, a common Ravenclaw trait, and she never refuses a challenge no matter how stupid it is.
History: The Beaumont's were known for their ties to the dark arts, and for their active support of Voldemort during the First and Second Wizarding Wars. Daphne's grand-father Lothair was one of the first death eaters, her father Philippe and uncle Carloman were never death eaters but had contacts with many death eaters and Voldemort himself and supported him as possible. The Beaumonts were owners of a chain of posh restaurants called The White Circle, the main restaurant would become a Death Eater meeting place sometimes. Daphne was born to Philippe and his wife Isadora, and was raised with pureblood values and purist views, and looking down upon muggle-borns and muggles. Daphne became more tolerant of muggle-borns during her school years, she didn't eagerly make friends with them, but she was never openly hostile or cold towards them and she did have conversations with those in her own house occasionally, but she never questioned her parents beliefs as she had grown up with those beliefs. Daphne never talked about her beliefs or views, she wasn't very comfortable with that subject so even her two best friends Alexander and David Stewart never talked about it. Alexander and David were cousins and their father's knew Daphne's father and uncle and so the three of them grew up together. Daphne fell in love with Alexander but never got to tell him as Alexander started dating her maternal cousin Isabella, much to Daphne's anger and disappointment. When the Battle of Hogwarts came, Daphne was torn between staying with her housemates or joining her family, ultimately Daphne and her best friends stayed behind to "defend" the castle. Daphne lost her mother in the Battle, her mother was killed in front of Daphne's eyes, and Daphne entered a state of shock dropping her wand and cradling her mother, Daphne's uncle saw the mother and daughter and took Daphne home to safety. Daphne took a while to recover from her mother's death, she was only 17 when she lost her mother.
Daphne did return to Hogwarts when it opened again and completed her education and graduated from Hogwarts, after which Daphne began working with her father and uncle, helping them run the family business. She also studied with Potioneers and Herbologists in Britain itself around this same time. She also learned more about Charms from her maternal uncle, her uncle taught her everything he knew in that subject. At the age of 25, Daphne lost her grand-father, and a year later when she was 26, Philippe remarried to Dianne, a woman who was only three years Daphne's senior, and Daphne didn't like her step-mother so she decided to move into a flat, but her father didn't allow it saying he couldn't have his heir living in a flat and not in the Beaumont Mansion.
Daphne's step-mother died after giving birth to her daughter Blanche. Around this time, Daphne decided to apply for a teaching position at Hogwarts, and fortunately she was accepted as the Charms Professor, Daphne has just begun her first year as a Professor at Hogwarts.
