Madam Vena
Character Wanted: Madam Vena.
Plot Description: Boss/surrogate mum to Darren Quigg (hustlequigg) and proprietor of Madame Vena's Escort Service.
Character Specifics: "Tough old bird" as some would say. She is in at least her 80s. Likely a pureblood, but she never married. She has, however, had plenty of suitors through the years--Aberforth Dumbledore (abertfort), for instance. Vena started out in the entertainment business when she finished school. She was a singer, dancer, showgirl, and even dabbled in burlesque. When times were dark (around the time of Grindlewald's reign) Vena began selling herself as an escort and prostitute to both Wizards and Muggles. As she passed out of her youth, Vena began her own service and took-in wizards and muggles alike who were down-and-out but willing to sell themselves. In exchange, Vena gave them safe haven and respectable clientele. Her Escort Service has become reputable over the years and she keeps her boys in-line with a very firm but motherly hand. It is normal for her to take a rough-edged pup of a boy off the street and turn-out a well-mannered young man. What Vena is NOT is a pimp or pedophile-enabler. She has stringent rules for her clients. Crossing her or moving in on her turf is not wise. In recent months, Vena has had quite a lot of Ministry entanglements with the new Muggleborn restrictions. She's refused to pay the fees for employing Halfbloods and Muggleborns and refuses to turn away Muggle employees. Ministry raids have become a regular occurrence and has caused her clientele list to slim. It's likely she will have trouble with Death Eaters in months to come.
PB Suggestions: Dame Judi Dench (preferred).
