Character Information Name: Porrim Maryam Canon Origin/Series: Homestuck School Year: 5th Gender: Female Age: 15 Out of school living location: Coventry, West Midlands, England Blood status: Muggleborn
Personality: Porrim is noted for having a lot of relationships that are, essentially, the Troll equivalent of romantic/sexual flings. These relationships are quick, but seem to have generally ended amiably; only Kankri seems to have a problem with them, and he was not involved in any of them. She loves freely, and doesn't see this as making her any less of a good woman. In fact, she's a feminist, bred from her disdain for how she pushed into a role during life by her gender... As well as her class, which is another issue she isn't afraid to take on.
Though Porrim might protest that she wasn't bothered by Kankri being cold, but rather his showing it, this statement easily leads to the assumption that she does care about others, but prefers a more distant, tough love. She clearly does want to keep Kankri out of trouble, but has no problem scolding him. However, some of the unattached attitude isn't routed in caring; she openly but carelessly agrees that most of her and Meenah's friends are lame.
Not only does Porrim own up to having few secrets, but she likes to know the secrets and open nature of others, as well. She's clearly shown to be a gossip in her conversation with Meenah, and when talking to Latula, she tells her she doubts anyone is looking, so she needn't go over-the-top with her radicalness. So she is both open and urges other to be sincere, in their own way.
Porrim shudders at the memory of Kankri's "unfashionable" hitched-up pants, and that was another motive for her creating his sweater. Not only does this show that she's fashionable, but her ability to make the sweater and her unique way of dressing and her body art show that she's creative.
Canon Background: A jade blooded girl, (and, unrelatedly, a rainbow drinker), Porrim was expecting to tend to the mother grub as her purpose in life. Porrim came to dislike this lifestyle greatly, as well as the fact that her blood and her gender determined her fate. This lead to her being an active feminist. She would also look out for Kankri, and in general, found her life largely filled with "teen drama". In her game of Sburb, Porrim was the Maid of Space, but the session ultimately failed drastically. We meet Porrim in a dream bubble, where she talks with various other Trolls and we see her personality.
Background (AU!Canon; HP): [paranormal]Porrim Maryam was born into a muggle family. Her and her cousin, an older male, were the only ones with magical blood that the line knew of. Said cousin, incidentally, is the ex-husband of Dolores Maryam. Porrim was quite curious about the magical world, and took to it rather well, although she noticed that it, look the muggle world, had its injustices, which she did - and still does - her best to fight.
Porrim was turned into a vampire at age 16 in her Fifth Year, during Winter Holidays, when she took a wrong turn into Knockturn Alley This was a good ten years ago. After being bitten, Porrim left Hogwarts, only to return five years ago in first year classes, with the help of Dumbledore and a charm to make her appear younger. Earlier in her second stay at Hogwarts, she had a relationship with one Aranea Serket... And many others, actually. She's very open about her romantic and sexual history.
Once again a fifth year, Porrim takes required classes and Political Magic, Divination, and Ancient Ruins.[apptivity]
How would your character fit in to each House? Gryffindor: Though she praises Meenah for having the "noble idea of a ghost army, she doubts her own value in such a cause. She's generally not seen to be outgoingly brave, but her dedication to Kankri is loyalty, especially by Trolls standards. On the other hand, what she points out to Kankri about his "appropriation bullshit" could be seen as daring, in a social sense.
Hufflepuff: See above for notes on loyalty. Hard work is a fair bit more tricky to gauge, though. She hated the work of jade bloods, but that was more because she saw it as unfair that she had to do it thanks to blood and gender than a case where she hated the work. In fact, she eventually found herself drawn to the duty again. She can be detached and blunt at times, but is ultimately a nice person. She believes in fairness in that she wants gender equality, but is not patient with those who don't appreciate that desire.
Ravenclaw: She shows intelligence and a preference for the tactical when she explains why Meenah should focus on asking the God Tiers to join her army first. She's also a bit witty, poking fun at her own promiscuity in a closing statement to Meenah. Furthermore, Porrim has an individualist mindset among the jade bloods, and is also creative - for example, she makes Kankri's sweater for him.
Slytherin: Porrim is more the sort to buck tradition than the sort to stick to it. She's also not really the leader type. However, her breaking away from her role as a jade blooded woman, and her general approach towards gender equality, shows ambition and determination. Intelligence is noted on above, and finally, her resistance to join Meenah's army could be seen as self-preservation.
