A Beauxbatons champion and part-Veela, Fleur arrives at Hogwarts with a beauty and confidence that draw every eye. The Triwizard challenges test that poise, and a frightening task leaves her pale and trembling beneath the surface of her haughtiness. At the Yule Ball, Ron’s awkward invitation earns him a look of disdain, while her younger sister Gabrielle remains one of Fleur’s most tender concerns. Her composure is striking, but it is not the whole of her: courage and affection show through when they matter most.
Description
Fleur is tall and graceful, with a pale complexion, large, deep-blue eyes, and very white, even teeth. A long sheet of silvery-blonde hair falls nearly to her waist, shining in the light and framing her striking face. She is most often seen in the blue-and-silver Beauxbatons uniform, carried with an elegant, composed posture. Her expression tends toward haughty calm, and her part-Veela beauty gives her presence an almost luminous quality.
