Merope Gaunt, of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. This mun will be playing her primarily from the ages of 16-18, while still living with her family, but the mun may occasionally take her from further on.

At the moment, the mun has no AUs for her, but she does not yet have a solid verse, and may end up in the future, or in alternate worlds just...because there are not many other characters for her to interact with at her time.

Bio taken from the Harry Potter Lexicon:

Merope Gaunt was the daughter of Marvolo Gaunt and mother of Tom Riddle. Eighteen-year-old Merope's hair is lank and dull and she has a "plain, pale, rather heavy face." Her eyes also gaze in opposite directions. Merope's father was extremely abusive to her and derisively called her a "Squib" (and other dreadful things). It is no wonder that Harry observed that she looked "defeated." In addition to ragged clothing, Merope wears a heavy gold locket that her father claims belonged to Salazar Slytherin.

Merope was intensely attracted to the wealthy Muggle Tom Riddle, but there were a couple problems. She knew her father would be violently opposed, and Tom saw her as an object of derision and disgust. However, after her brother and father were sent to Azkaban, Merope tricked Riddle into marrying her with a love potion. It is unknown why, but after she became pregnant she allowed the potion to wear off and Riddle abandoned her. Merope went to London, but was so destitute she sold her priceless gold locket to Caractacus Burke of Borgin & Burke's for a meager 10 galleons. Later she gave birth at a Muggle orphanage and died after naming her child Tom Marvolo Riddle.
