The Harry Potter novel series is replete with characters. Some of them, even being secondary, directly affect the course of events: throw them out of the plot - and everything will go awry. Others only flicker on the pages of books, sometimes only by names. Often, fans themselves come up with an image after themselves, writing their own fan fiction about their favorite characters. Daphne Greengrass in the canon is a Slytherin about which little is known. And yet her name, or something else in her, hooked fans, because in the fan art she often appears.
Canon Information
Daphne Greengrass is a born Slytherin. She is from a purebred family, presumably born in 1980 (since by the mention of her in books it can be judged that the girl is the same age as Harry Potter and his friends). Daphne’s name is called in the fifth book (“Order of the Phoenix”), it is listed right in front of Hermione Granger, during the passing of the SOV (Standards for teaching magic, Standardized marks of a wizard, A completely ordinary magic level) - exams for five-year students at Hogwarts. Most likely, Daphne is Pansy Parkinson's girlfriend . In the book, this girl is not presented in the best light, which suggests that Daphne Greengrass herself belongs more likely to the dark side. Her loyalty is leaning toward the position of purebreds, especially Slytherin and the Dark Lord Voldemort. Nevertheless, it is not mentioned anywhere that she actively sympathizes with this side.
Family Information
Daphne and Astoria Greengrass are sisters. The second, Astoria, is the youngest. The epilogue says that it was she who became the wife of the eternal enemy of Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy. Consequently, the two purebred families, as usual, became related, which means that Draco is Daphne's son-in-law, and his son Scorpius Malfoy is a dancer. Nothing is known of the elders of Greengrass. The future fate of Daphne is unknown, as well as the answer to the question of who became her husband.
The Daphne family is one of twenty-eight truly purebred British families. Greengrasses are included in the Purebred Handbook (1930s edition) along with the Malfoys, Blackies, Weasley (after the marriage of Harry Potter and Ginevra Weasley, as well as Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger, this family ceased to be completely purebred). But, unlike Lestrange, Malfoy, Carrow, Goylov and others, the Greengrasses were not in the ranks of the Death Eaters. Perhaps Tom Riddle (Voldemort) used them for his own purposes differently, but J. Rowling did not give any information about this either in books or in interviews.
Interesting Facts
In Greek mythology, Daphne is a nymph, the daughter of Gaia and Peneus, the beloved of Leucappus and Apollo, turned into a laurel tree.
In addition, the name of the Slytherin is the Latin name for the wolf berry. Interestingly, the wolf is not the last predator in English mythology. What did the author mean by this, Joan Kathleen Rowling?
Fanfiction image
Daphne Greengrass is often a secondary (and sometimes main) character in fan fiction. Her image is popular in revealing the characters of Slytherins: along with Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, Blaise Zabini, Millicent Bulstrode and Theodore Nott. The first three, which is true, is best known to all - the Silver Trio as opposed to the Golden (Harry, Ron, Hermione).
Daphne Greengrass is shipped (paired up) with Harry Potter (Harry Potter / Daphne Greengrass Paring is the most popular), Blaise Zabini, non-standard peyring with Oliver Wood, Lee Jordan and even (!) Fleur Delacour are found.
School of Cynicism
In the famous fan fiction according to Dramione ( Draco / Hermione couple in love ) Daphne Greengrass, although he does not take active actions, is nevertheless characterized by the author very clearly: during the war, this universally recognized beauty shows cruelty comparable to that inherent in experienced Death Eaters.
Estimated Appearance
Little is known about her life, let alone appearance. She is such a mystery girl - Daphne Greengrass. A photo from Harry Potter (part seven, Deathly Hallows) shows a certain girl in Slytherin uniform. Presumably, this is our mysterious sorceress.
According to this information, it turns out that Daphne Greengrass (actress - Chloe Rich) is a blonde with blue eyes and subtle aristocratic features.
Fan Submissions
The stereotypical images of the Greengrass sisters are contrasted: the lean calm Astoria and the warlike Daphne with magnificent forms. Be that as it may, neither in books nor in films did Daphne Greengrass demonstrate her temper in any way.
The sisters' hair color is different: Daphne is blond, and in the last shots of Harry Potter, Astoria (actress Jade Gordon, at that time the girl of the actor playing Draco Malfoy, Tom Felton), hugging goodbye to her son, Scorpius Malfoy, has a dark hair.
Witch trainer
It is worth considering that there was apparently something in Daphne that could not leave indifferent. Otherwise, how to explain the fact that in the game Witch Trainer Daphne Greengrass became another game character? Before that, it was only possible to play Hermione Granger, which is logical, because she is the main female hero. The choice of Daphne, if someone was surprised, is not unpleasant.
Recall that Witch Trainer is a 18+ ranked game. This is a sequel to the Princess Trainer in the Harry Potter world. In the latest versions, the game version of Daphne for training has become available.
So, Daphne Greengrass, whose art version represents the Slytherin Department on the Witch Trainer, was well received by fans.
Conclusion
As you can see from the article, there is very little reliable data on Daphne. In the canon, it does not play a large and important role. At the same time, J.K. Rowling is able to think through characters well - one named name so interested the fans that they did not fail to imagine the story of this character themselves, to associate his character and appearance. Daphne Greengrass is often used by role-players - the heroine is considered very carefully, even the smallest details are taken into account. This is because choosing a character in a role-playing game means choosing a lifetime.
Stereotypically, Daphne is imagined as a blonde, typically devoted to her ideals, a purebred Slytherin, who is part of their elite. She was born into a notorious family, which even after losing to Lord Voldemort in the War of the Wizards managed to occupy its pretty worthy niche.
