People have long tended to assume she's older than she is, with people now easily mistaking her for a 7th year or simply an adult. While some look up to her (socially, at least; physically, most other students do) and some are intimidated by her, she's also gotten a lot of teasing. She puts on a big, boisterous personally partly as compensation for that, and partly because it feels like her body sets that expectation, though sometimes she wishes she could pass more unremarkably in a crowd or just fit society's narrow definition of 'feminine' better (which is one of the reasons she's so strongly drawn to transfiguration). |

'''Huff and Puff and Bludge Your House Down''' Gillian is one of Hufflepuff's starting Beaters, and a particularly aggressive one at that. Last year, she beat Hufflepuff's rookie-season record for forcing dismounts, and came frustratingly close to the same record for all of Hogwarts*. She had a lot of anger to draw on, after the year of hell before that. She's also unusually 'partisan' for a Hufflepuff, being thoroughly tired of her House's reputation as the slow kid shuffling behind. | '''Huff and Puff and Bludge Your House Down''' Gillian is one of Hufflepuff's starting Beaters, and a particularly aggressive one at that.

+ | Each Wizarding World Aspect represents the most noteworthy thing that happened to your character in a previous year. They can lean positive, like, ''Named Head Boy'' or they could lean negative like, ''Lost The Big Quidditch Match Singlehandedly''. Even something like ''My Mother Was A Deatheater'' can be used for good invokes and compels. First year students should start with one aspect, while returning students should start with 2. | ||
