Personality: Nephthys is neither laid back nor strict; she is somewhere in the middle and it shows in her teaching style. Her style of teaching is formal but if a student requests her help, she will give her all and her time to help the student pass. Tardiness is nothing to joke about and unless you have an official excuse, you will receive demerit and two points taken off. She also has a very hidden and very dirty sense of humor.
She takes pride in her students and their ability since it reflects off her, but she will do things to help them out. Nephthys is cordial to everyone but finds herself finding attachments to certain students and teachers alike because they remind her of people she knew in her life.
Pet?: Yes, an Egyptian Mau named Seti
Background: Nephthys is a lovely woman who comes from a very old, proud, and influential pureblood family in the Magical community of Egypt. She gained a love of potions and herbology from her Grandparents. After attending a prestigious and ancient wizarding academy within Thebes, she spent one year traveling across the African continent.
On the advice of her father and the family purse strings, she attended the University in her youth, as well as various other institutions in continuing her studies of Herbology and Potions. She returned to Egypt on the request of her mother, on finding out that her parents were dying and took over as head of the family; she become the law and learned how to run finances and handle crises. Nephthys became known for her cool head under pressure in the community.
After a few years of maintaining the family and dealing with a very old and rigid world, and on the advice of a family friend that she applied for a Professorial position at her former University. She quickly found a niche for herself within the community and enjoys teaching the next generation of witches and wizards all that she had learned in many years of attending various institutions.
Relations with other characters:
Gupta Muhammed Hassan – I would believe/hope that there is a familial connection
Other Teachers – She is very friendly with her fellow staff members but she is not found of very loud people though.
Students: She sees them as the future and puts much faith in them, easily gets sad when they do not live up to their ability and thus gets disappointed easily. And is not afraid to admit that she does have favorites
Sample:
Nephthys was not afraid of much. She is Egypt. A warrior, a mother, a lover but she could feel the fear growing in her heart. The sad song that was carried in the winds of the night had reached its crescendo. All it took was seeing through her eyes the dead body of her most beloved Cleopatra and her Antony.
It was quiet except for the salute being given behind her back and the soft cough of a man; an old friend. She spun and faced the tall man who stood before her, complete with a smirk on his face and the stance of a victor. The two exchanged words in their own language but understand each other as clear as the sun reflects on the water.
“It is time and I shall see you soon, my old friend”
“Goodbye”
With a whispered farewell from the man who stood in front of her, she felt the cold metal slice her body and than leave as quickly as it entered. She knew that the man, an old friend, and now her murderer would take care and watch over her son until he was grown. And this would help nurse another viper in the bosom of the great Roman Empire.
The rest
Anything else you'd like to add: I’ve been roleplaying on and off close to ten years, I watched the entirety of the Mummy as I was working on this app. I like exploring new challenges too.
