“Rowena Ravenclaw selected her students according to intelligence and wisdom. Ravenclaw House therefore values a sharp mind, wisdom, creativity, and cleverness in its members.”
Fuckin Rowena Ravenclaw doing dope ass art with her makeup like making a map of the constellations on her eyelids, or drawing a bunch of flowers on them like a garden. I think she’d be a very skilled MUA.
Rowena being captain of the debate team, and not only winning her debates but winning them with grace and humility.
Rowena also being a hardcore parkour theatre nerd
she can be kinda pretentious though, like any theatre kid
if you say “Les Mis” is your favorite musical, she will a) roll her eyes with a rather condescending, “bless your heart” expression, and b) give you a list of musicals less mainstream for you to listen to/watch
she likes plays more than musicals, though.
mainly because she’s tone deaf
The Crucible by Arthur Miller and Medea by Euripides are her favorites.
Hardcore feminist (not to be confused with a terf, or “femi-nazi”)
Think of Elle from Legally Blonde, how she managed to balance taking care of her personal appearance while also getting through Harvard Law
Thats basically Rowena except 10x sassier and less pink
She likes photography a lot- I don’t think she necessarily has the patience for painting
One of her favorite photosets is the one of the Pit Bulls with flower crowns.
She respects artists on a whole other level
Imagine Rowena helping fellow students when they’re having a hard time in school
because Rowena realizes that, sometimes, school doesn’t help each student reach their full potential
because everyone learns in different ways and some students absorb the material differently
thus they have a hard time in classes that don’t meet these educational needs that they have
and she knows that just because they don’t learn as easily through the preferred method of the teacher, it doesn’t mean they are any less smart than anyone in the class
if they have a thirst for knowledge and a willingness to learn, Rowena will take them under her wing
She’s totally the kind of girl to go to some obscure coffee place and order a plain black coffee, then sit there at a table by the window and read a book like The Great Gatsby (no hate on The Great Gatsby, I love that book)
She runs four separate blogs on tumblr
a studyblr with a bunch of aesthetically pleasing shots of her bullet journal and close-to-godlike handwriting
a blog where she rants about politics, socio-economic issues and what not.
a blog where she posts about all her favorite fandoms and ships.
and lastly, a blog hidden away from the light of day: a blog dedicated to dank memes. Rowena would be a memelord and no one can convince me otherwise. Though he doesn’t know it’s her, Godric is her most active follower.
Though it seems like she does a lot of things ironically, or just to be edgy, she genuinely loves:
listening to albums on vinyl, just because of the whole aesthetic.
taking pictures on a polaroid (again, purely aesthetic). She has fairy lights lining the perimeter of her room with pictures clipped onto them with wooden clothespins.
Her room is a goddamn mess.
clothes are scattered everywhere along with books, makeup brushes, movies, water bottles, chocolate bar wrappers, etc.
She and Helga totally had a thing before they broke it off and Helga started dating Salazar.
Rowena’s still a bit bitter.
However, she and Helga raise succulents together and bond over all the cool plants.
they’ll take special trips to a Home Depot or Walmart greenhouse just to look at the cool succulents.
the plants have names.
Sometimes she forgets to eat just because she’ll be so wrapped up in whatever she’s doing at the time, that it completely slips her mind
so a lot of the times Helga just invites herself into Rowena’s house and will start cooking while Rowena does her own thing
Rowena doesn’t even know she’s there until Helga sets a bowl of pasta and vegetables with a garlic butter sauce down in front of her
it’s become a regular thing for Helga to come and cook dinner for Rowena and make sure she eats it because Merlin so help her…
Rowena designing her own outfits and completely slaying everybody’s existence???
it’s a pastel grunge style
She has a bad habit of smoking when she gets stressed out- all of her friends scold her about it, even Salazar.
She bites her nails
sometimes she bites them so much that they start bleeding
it’s a habit when she’s nervous or irritated, along with picking at her lip.
Rowena feels like, since she’s a woman, she’s constantly having to prove herself worthy to everyone else
she has a lot of self worth issues and that’s where her stubborn pride stems from
she’s under so much pressure, the sweet bean just needs a hug.
Rowena tries to hide her emotions a lot of the time, so it just ends up in bi-monthly sob sessions that she has with one or all of her friends. It’s usually Godric or Helga when it’s one on one, because bless his sweet, awkward heart, Salazar can’t handle so many emotions at once, he does want to help though.
then all of her friends will pitch in to help her finish whatever is stressing her out
they have to be really patient though, because Rowena is very particular about the way she wants the project done- so they have to listen to her and follow her instructions to the T
they do it though cuz they love her
Rowena likes to do DIY projects, create new fonts, and try to invent new life hacks
She has calluses on her hands
Rowena having her own youtube channel that mostly consists of makeup tutorials and reviews, as well as conspiracy theories
ROWENA BEING A SLUT FOR CONSPIRACY THEORIES
what if she legit had like a cork board on her bedroom wall with a bunch of articles and pictures with red yarn connecting each piece of evidence to the next.
“GUYS AVRIL LAVIGNE IS DEAD AND HAS BEEN REPLACED BY A LOOKALIKE¡”
A very “Chandler Bing” sense of humor
Has a secret fangirl life where she’s dedicated to so many different fandoms it’s ridiculous
you bet your ass she’s written fanfiction
it has gotten progressively better overtime but it was painfully c r i n g e ywhen she first started writing.
one time Salazar caught her in her bedroom eating a gallon tub of ice cream and sobbing about one of her OTPs.
he still doesn’t understand, but he’ll comfort her to the best of his abilities and listen to her rants
She has 50 cats
I think dogs are too high maintenance and loud for her
she appreciates how cute and fluffy they are but at the end of the day, she doesn’t have enough energy, or willingness, to keep up with them
Rowena will get drunk, but she never gets hungover
If there’s an argument she’s not directly involved in, she will stay out of it and refuse to take sides
“I stole the diadem. I sought to make myself cleverer, more important than my mother. I ran away with it. My mother, they say, never admitted that the diadem was gone, but pretended that she had it still. She concealed her loss, my dreadful betrayal, even from the other founders of Hogwarts.”
