Sorbet, Strawberry



Strawberry Sorbet
Hissy Character
Management Trainee for Smythe & Smythe Inc.
2040 - Present

born in: London
parentage: Muggleborn
height: 5 feet 3 inches
hair colour: dark brown, almost black
eyes: Grey

Background:
Strawberry was born to middle class muggle parents. She went to Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw and was infamous for her ability to make grown men cry. She's intelligent, hardworking and very determined but unfortunately has had bad luck thrown at her from almost every angle. Her previous occupations all sum up to: Temp.

Personality:
Strawberry is what is called a ball buster. She's beautiful and can be sweet and charming when she wishes to be, however she doesn't wish to be that way very often. She pushes the people around her into giving in to her and therefore doesn't have that many people eager to be around her. She's not spoiled, she just knows what she wants and will go to any lengths to get her wants.

Story:
Having met the incredibly successful Tallen Smythe (founder and president of Smythe & Smythe, Inc - a fusion of muggle and wizarding electronics design and manufacturing company) at a book-signing in Diagon Alley, and then obtaining an interview with him for the position of Management Trainee at Smythe & Smythe, Inc, she unfortunately let herself get involved with the man personally. She got the position... although as many in the company and in the British Wizarding World assumed, only at the price of her body for Tallen was a notorious playboy.

Their romance was a tumultuous one, owing to the fact that under the public image of the billionaire playboy, Tallen Smythe was very insecure. Strawberry, being Strawberry, could never resist pushing his buttons, and unfortunately, his continued jealousy at her friendship with old friend, Anthony Costa, and then his discovery of an unfortunate moment she had in the lift with his personal bodyguard, Raul (real name unknown), drove her away from him both personally and professionally.

Now, five years later, Strawberry is the head of the Branding Department at Wright Way Corp., the leading competitor against Smythe & Smythe, Inc. She was offered a job there after she left S&S (only because their break up and split was made quite public by the gossip rags), mostly because the President - Bow Wright the 15th - wanted to rub it in Tallen's face that he was stealing away his prized protege and also ex-girlfriend. Over time, Bow realised that she was actually quite brilliant at her job and she soon made her way up the corporate ladder... ending up where she is now.

Her personal life, since Tallen, has remained her personal life and after a while the newspapers tired of following her around, hoping for some whisper of a scandal concerning her new employer. She has dated a few men, some that have even stuck around for a couple of months, but never quite stuck long enough. Over the years though, there has always been one constant male presence in her life: Anthony Costa. Besides one drunken confession of his feelings for her, he has never mentioned it ever again, even though Strawberry is quite aware now that Tallen's earlier suspicions were indeed true.
