Parents: Albert and Margaret LeFarge
Siblings: Marcie and Heather
Spouse: Andre Levesque, who is no longer living.

How does your character interact with their family? (1 Paragraph minimum); Marie considers the Sanders family as her own, and loves her “job” of taking care of the two girls. As a general rule, she mainly watches Ella, who is still much too young to care for herself, and leaves Katie to her own devices, though, of course, she’s happy to help whenever she is needed. Marie also has a niece and nephew living in Saudi Arabia, whom she writes to regularly but rarely sees.

What is your character's family history? (1 paragraph minimum): Marie’s family, the LeFarges, has been around for many years, however, it is not a primarily wizarding family. Her own mother was a mudblood, and so was her grandfather a couple of generations back. Still, there are traces of LeFarge blood all over muggle (and wizard) France, dating back to the beginning of France itself.

Work

Where: Sander’s House
What: Nanny
Why do they work there? Marie has always loved children, it was a huge dream of hers to have kids. However, after the discovery of her infertility, Marie shifted her focus away from the dream of having her own children to the dream of working with them. She began a daycare, which she ran quite well until her husband’s death, when she decided to become a nanny.

Appearance

Description (10 sentence minimum): Marie has medium length white-grey hair, which she usually wears pulled back into a bun. Her warm brown eyes are the focal point of her face, and are generally covered with silver spectacles. Her posture is generally impeccable, but she will slouch when she’s kicking back (or thinks the girls aren’t looking). She generally wears fairly formal clothes, and has a slight fetish about ironing things. She only very rarely wears pants, and jeans are completely out of the question (she once tried to influence Ella and Katie to do the same, however…let’s just say it didn’t go so well for her…). She has warm brown eyes on a slightly wrinkled, naturally stern face. On first glance, one might mistake her for being overly strict and even mean. However, one look into her eyes lets those that get to know her even a little that she is anything but. Her fair, wrinkled skin is perfect for giving out hugs, making cookies, and doing the things that most mothers-or grandmothers- generally do. She’s just an old-fashioned English nanny at heart, despite being raised in France.
