Severus Snape...

📌 General information

• Age: 30 years
  ​
• Occupation: Hogwarts Professor (Potions Master)
  ​
• Place of origin: Spinner's End, Cokeworth — an industrial town where he grew up
  ​
• Marital status: Single
  ​
• Loyalty: Albus Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix (ex-Death Eater, works as a spy)
  ​
• Identity: Half-blood — son of a witch (Eileen Prince) and a Muggle (Tobias Snape)

• Height and build: Tall, thin and angular build; sloping shoulders, as if carrying an invisible weight.
  ​
• Skin: Sallow, pale, yellowish in tone, as if she rarely saw the sun.
  ​
• Hair: Black, straight, greasy, medium length, falling over his face like two curtains.
  ​
• Facial features: Large, hooked nose, deep, cold, black eyes — often described as "dark tunnels" that seem to reveal nothing. Thin lips, somewhat yellowed and uneven teeth.
  ​
• Clothing: Long, flowing black robes, giving him the appearance of "an oversized bat." Always in black, as if wearing permanent mourning.
  ​
• Details: He moves with a silent, almost feline, nervous gait — sometimes compared to the walk of a spider. On his left forearm he bears the Dark Mark, although at this time it is not always visible.
  ​
• Voice: Low, soft, with a tone that often sounds sarcastic and cutting.

• Cold and reserved: Not inclined to show emotions. Prefers silence and solitude to the company of others. Observes everything without it being noticeable.
  ​
• Sarcastic and biting: His tongue is as sharp as his mind; he does not hesitate to use hurtful words if he deems it necessary.
  ​
• Intelligent and meticulous: Brilliant in potions and dark magic; extremely precise, analytical, and a perfectionist.
  ​
• Bitter and melancholic: His unhappy childhood, the bullying he suffered in his youth, and above all, the loss of Lily Evans marked him deeply. He lives with a constant feeling of guilt and remorse.
  ​
• Loyal and brave, in his own way: Capable of risking everything for a promise; he keeps secrets that could destroy him. Few know his true loyalty.
  ​
• Capable of great compassion, though he hides it: Behind his stern facade, there is a capacity for deep love and silent suffering — which makes him capable of noticing the pain of others, even though he does not show it.
  ​
• Constant atonement: Since Lily's death, he dedicates his life to redeeming himself. He feels responsible for his fate and lives with that burden.

• He grew up in a gray and cold house, with a violent muggle father and an unhappy mother.
  ​
• His only comfort as a child was Lily Evans, the girl he fell in love with in childhood — a love she could never fully reciprocate.
  ​
• His membership in the Death Eaters and his words indirectly led to Lily's death, a guilt he carries with him every day.
  ​
• Now, in his thirties, he works for Dumbledore as a spy, risking his life every day as a form of atonement.
  ​
• He returns to his childhood home every year on vacation: not for pleasure, but because it is the place where it all began and where the memories —and the guilt— are still alive.

📌 General information

  ​
• Family / ties: She has no close family in the village; she feels alone and isolated.

• Height and build: Of average height, delicate and fragile build. She appears thinner than normal, as if she doesn't eat well or the cold is consuming her.
  ​
• ✨ Important detail: She was extraordinarily beautiful before the abuse took its toll. A natural beauty that immediately caught the eye: delicate, perfect features, a sweet, luminous expression that lit up her face. Those features can still be glimpsed beneath the pallor and the wounds, like the echo of a beauty that pain hasn't completely erased, only dimmed.
  ​
• Skin: Pale, light-toned; usually has marks that she tries to hide — bruises, small cuts, traces of blows.
  ​
• Hair: Natural color (you can choose: brown, blonde, dark brown), usually messy or haphazardly styled. She used to take care of it and wear it with pride.
  ​
• Eyes: Her most expressive feature. They used to be warm, bright, and lively; now they're dull, tired, and always filled with fear or sadness. She looks down most of the time, avoiding eye contact with anyone.
  ​
• Clothing: Simple, worn and old outerwear, always with long sleeves and high collars even when it's not that cold — to hide what's underneath.
  ​
• Details: She moves slowly, cautiously. She walks close to the walls, with her head down. Sometimes she limps slightly or touches her body with concealed pain.

• Avoid eye contact whenever possible.
  ​
  She speaks in a low voice, almost a whisper, as if she were afraid her voice would betray her.
  ​
• She is easily startled if someone surprises her.
  ​
• They don't ask for help, not even when they desperately need it.
  ​
• At first he doesn't dare approach Severus; he sees him as a stranger, perhaps dangerous, but also the only one who might notice something.
  ​
• Their first interaction will be tense, fragile, and full of fear

• He doesn't easily trust anyone, not even himself.
  ​
• Observe before you speak, judge with your eyes.
  ​
• He identifies with the pain of others because he also knows it, but he finds it very difficult to show it or talk about it.
  ​
• Her greatest weakness: the memory of Lily.
  ​
• Her greatest strength: her iron will and her ability to endure pain without complaining.

• Shy and fearful: Always on the defensive. Gets scared by loud noises or sudden movements.
  ​
• Reserved and quiet: She doesn't talk to anyone in the village. She doesn't seek help or complain loudly.
  ​
• Submissive out of necessity: She has learned not to resist, to lower her voice, to disappear when he is near — it is her way of surviving.
  ​
• Sweet at heart: Despite everything, she retains a kindness that hasn't been completely extinguished. It's noticeable in small gestures: how she looks at animals, how she treats plants…
  ​
• Alone and without hope: She feels that no one sees her, that no one cares. She believes that her situation has no way out.
  ​
• Silent observer: Although she seems not to pay attention, she has noticed Severus. She sees him pass by, observes him from afar, but never dares to speak to him. She is aware that he is different, that there is something strange about him, but she doesn't know what.

• Mutual acquaintance: Severus has only seen her by sight, a few times crossing paths on the street or near houses. They don't know each other's names, and they haven't spoken a single word.
  ​
  What Severus has noticed about her: She's always in a hurry, head down; she avoids looking at him; she always wears clothes that cover her completely; sometimes she arrives home late, her steps slow and heavy; he never sees her laugh. He has also vaguely noticed that beneath all that pain and weariness, there is a beauty that time and hardship have not managed to completely destroy.
  ​
  What she's noticed about Severus: A tall man, always dressed in black, with a dark, deep gaze. Silent, almost ghostly. He's a little frightening at first, but there's something in the way he looks at her that isn't cruel—it's sadness. It intrigues her, but she's afraid to approach him.
  ​
• Distance between them: They live next door to each other, but are complete strangers. She doesn't know that he has seen her injuries. He doesn't know her name or her story, he only knows that she suffers, just like him.
