Full Name: McKendra Ziyanna Elizabeth Richardson
Age: 20
Date of birth: 23/05/2001
Birthplace: England
Current home: England (The Richardson Estate)
Blood Status: Pureblood
Sexual Alignment: Bisexual
Wand type: Hawthorne, 9 ½”, Dragon Heartstring core
Hair colour and style: Her hair falls in lengthy waves along her mid-back region. Its deep ebony colour sometimes lightens to a dark chocolate shade under the influence of the sun. McKendra tends to wear her hair down, allowing it to style itself naturally. She styles her hair into up-dos and ponytails for events, but other than that she sees no need to perfect something that has already reached perfection.
Eye colour: Brown. McKendra cannot stand the brown of her eyes. The monotony of such a shade, especially paired with her already-brown hair, would downsize the appearance of anyone lesser than herself. She knows how to make her eyes work for her, but that does not mean that she would not rather have them green.
Height: 5’7”
Body type: McKendra’s body is slender, her muscles visible but not toned. She maintains her figure through her healthy eating habits, maximum water intake, and steady sleeping patterns, though exercise has never been something that has appealed to her. Mental strength has always seemed more important than physical. (It is also improper and unappealing for a lady to sweat).
Dress sense: Her style is well put together, containing both modern and traditional elements of style. McKendra tends to dress in accordance to her situational setting. Family gatherings require elegant, modest dresses and gowns accompanied by a gemstone or pearl, while encounters with possible suitors entail outfits that are still elegant but also a bit more provocative and appealing to the male eye. Leather jackets are a guilty pleasure of hers. When styled correctly, such a piece can be classier than one would think.
Birthmarks: None
Tattoos: None
Scars: There is a small one on her left ear from an ear piercing that has closed. The piercing had acquired an infection, making it so that McKendra had to allow the hole to close before getting it redone.
Piercings: She has two piercings on both of her ears. The bottom hole is often home to some form of a dangling or hoop earring, while the top hole usually contains a diamond or pearl stud. Ears are never the focal point of an ensemble, but they are always quite the accent.
Likes: (3 minimum)
- Stephanie; McKendra gets along best with the youngest of her siblings. This is because Stephanie worships the ground that her older sister walks on and wishes to be just like her.
- Adoration; She does not have friends in the way that a conventional girl would have friends. McKendra has disciples. Those around her follow by her side and submit to her every request. She has no genuine connection to any of these people, but it has never really bothered her.
- Loyalty; Whilst McKendra is not one to maintain friendships, she does appreciate it when someone exhibits loyalty towards her. She does not tolerate floaters or traitors. Those around her are either all in or they are out.
- Luxury items; Due to her upbringing, McKendra has acquired a taste for expensive items. She lives for expensive holidays and luxury dinners. Every article of clothing that she owns is a designer piece. Mass-produced purses are a travesty, as well as materials that claim to be purely one thing but are actually a concoction of multiple.
- Debates; McKendra knows that she is knowledgeable, but those around her often underestimate her capability to maintain an organic thinking process. She enjoys proving her mental strength against people who try to disagree with her conclusions. It is fun to see them squirm as they try to prove her wrong. Spoiler alert: they never do.
- Deep shades of blue; There is something so elegant about dark blues, yet something understated at the same time. It is a regal colour that goes well with almost any kind of accent pigmentation. The colour showcases especially well alongside gold.
- Pureblood society; She understands that there are faults to the way that she lives, but the pros outweigh the cons a million times over. McKendra loves the high-society social scene; extravagant balls and captivating attire. She loves to be greeted by house elves holding pastry dishes and chalices of wine. The Pureblood world has no strong bond, but it runs like a well-oiled machine. She knows of no other worlds, but that is not a problem to her.
Dislikes: (3 minimum)
-Being proven wrong; This happens only rarely, but it always feels like someone has grasped a knife and chipped away a small portion of her self esteem. Being defeated is an indicator that she is only human, but McKendra has no desire to be “only human.” She does not want there to be any indication that she is equal to those around her. She is no equal. She is superior.
-Dark chocolate; While McKenda is not much a fan of any form of sweet, dark chocolate is barely worthy of calling itself a sweet. She would rather gain a pound from a square of milk chocolate than eat an entire bar of dark for the same calorie intake.
- Reading; She has never been one for stories. She understands that knowledge is an important trait for someone to attain, but there has never been much of a reason for her knowledge to include fiction and fantasies. She does not understand the appeal of running away to some fantastical world whilst she is perfectly content with the world she is in. It seems a bit much, even for her.
- Brown; “Need I say anything else?”
- Dogs
- Oatmeal
- Sports
- Mudblood activists; This is a very separate category than “mudbloods.” McKendra understands that she will encounter those of a lesser status and that she must tolerate them even if she wishes not to. But when it comes to the muggleborns who believe that they can “make a change in the world” or “end purity segregation,” she draws the line. It irks her to see people fighting for an equality that they have yet to earn, as though simply being born makes it so that they are on the same level as Purebloods. Newsflash: existing is not enough to deserve respect.
Strengths:
- Leadership; McKendra is very good at getting people to do what she wants. Whether it be through fear or respect, those under her watch always get their jobs done to the best of their abilities because they know that she would have it no other way.
- Seduction; As previously mentioned, she knows how to get what she wants. This is no different when it comes to the attention of a male suitor. She knows how to wrap a male around her fingers and throw him on his knees before she can even breathe out a greeting. It’s an art form, really.
- Socialising; She is not as skilled in this as her older sister, but McKendra does know her way around a crowd. She knows exactly what to do and what to say in order to be seen how she wishes to.
- Intelligence; She knows what she is talking about, though she does not always make it known. There are very few arguments that she will go into unprepared, as not knowing every aspect makes both her and those close to her look bad.
- Sewing; She would never admit it, but McKendra is a skilled seamstress when she needs to be. She keeps a small sewing kit in her bag wherever she goes, just in case of an emergency.
- Dancing; From a young age, she and her siblings were taught how to dance the most complex waltzes in the most graceful of ways. She obtained the skills rather well.
- Style; No thread is ever out of place in any outfit that McKendra wears. Every color is complementary and every aspect fades into the next.
- Observant; She has learned how to know what someone is thinking before they have even thought of it. Reading the body language of the world around her keeps McKendra on top, because it makes people incapable of catching her off guard,
Weaknesses: (3 minimum)
- Hypothetical Bloodlust; She sees the world as kill or be killed; either she is in control of those around her or those around her are in control of her. Every conversation is a battle, McKendra on her toes for every second of trying to find her correspondents achilles heel. She doesn’t want to walk through life with every eye open, but there is some voice in her mind that always claims to be under attack.
- Pride; McKendra’s image is of high importance to the girl. She finds herself sometimes going to too great of lengths to try and protect said image.
- Insecurity Her sister has managed to live her life perfectly on the brink of being out of line and remaining within and it frustrates McKendra to no end. She does not understand how someone can be so good at controlling the game; how someone can be so much better than she is.
- High Standards; McKendra does not have (m)any friends or close companions. She expects too much of the people around her to a point where either they are not enough for her or she is too much for them. There has never been a perfect balance.
Positive traits: (3 minimum)
- Sociable; McKendra has been told that she is a joy to be around. She always knows exactly what to say in order to keep the flame of a conversation going. She is also very good at knowing exactly what the other person would like to hear.
- Intelligent; McKendra knows what she needs to in order to prove that she is above most others.
- Attractive; Though she may not be as good looking as her older sister, McKendra is still a rather fine specimen.
Negative traits: (3 minimum)
- Envious; McKendra tends to anger easily when it comes to matters such as the status of her younger brother or the freedom of her elder sister. She does not like the idea that she may not be the most unique of her siblings; the idea that she may be nothing.
- Unloyal; She is loyal to her blood, but what about the world beyond her blood? She has never known what it is like to connect to someone on a level in which she would want to protect them as she protects her family’s image.
- High Maintenence; As a girl who loves expensive things, McKendra can be seen as someone who is very hard to please.
McKendra was born the second eldest of the Richardson family. From the moment of conception, she was doomed to be swallowed by her sister’s shadow. Serafina was older, smarter, and more beautiful than she, forcing McKendra to work extra hard in order to be noticed as an individual.
Even worse than this was the shadow that emerged a year after she; Christopher, the Richardson heir. She did not know how to compete with the favor that her parents would show for these two children. She had nothing to show for herself but a name.
Four years after Christopher, came Stephanie. Stephanie would grow to be the one sibling that fell under McKendra’s shadow. In fact, the youngest Richardson girl worshipped her older sister. McKendra would teach her everything that she needed to know in order to be the proper pureblood girl they were born to be.
Growing up, she and her sisters were taught all of the ways of pureblood society. At a young age, she knew exactly what to say in order to get the response that she wanted. She knew how to dance, how to dress, and how to speak in order to pick up a man. Everything that she would do for the next part of her life would be to pick up a man.
In Hogwarts, McKendra was a queen. She was sorted into Slytherin, as any true pureblood would be. She very quickly obtained a small group of followers who would be her eyes and ears throughout the castle. There was not a single person who did not know the name “McKendra Richardson.”

Spencer and Isabelle got married when they were 19 and 18 respectively, shortly after Isabelle graduated from Hogwarts. Theirs is not a love story, but rather, a business arrangement, and neither saw any issues with this; indeed, Isabelle was rather pleased to have been chosen by a Richardson, knowing she was marrying into good fortune.
Both parties know their respective jobs and duties and respect that. They have a mutual understanding and make their marriage work. After many years of trying, Isabelle finally got pregnant when she was 22, and subsequently gave birth to Serafina 9 months later. They proceeded to have another three children after that.
The three younger siblings are closer, leaving Serafina as the outlier most of the time. However, she doesn’t really mind, knowing that they nevertheless look up to her. Most of the time, their parents keep McKendra, Chris, and Steph away from her, not wanting her point of views to be adopted by them, as well; one ‘rebel’ was enough of a problem. Still, when Serafina does have the chance to be with them, they do have their fun.
