It's already been a year since the start of post_bellum!

Lavender Brown started the game still dealing with the fallout from the Battle at Hogwarts. She had no idea what she wanted to do with her life and was very insecure and tentative about life. She felt very self-conscious about her scars from her attack by Fenrir and she had lost a lot of the bubbly person she'd been before. She was also dealing with a large amount of hero worship and a steady crush on Neville Longbottom.

After leaving school, Lavender found a job at Mercury Travel Agency, which paid the bills, if nothing else. She also deepened her friendship with Neville and eventually grew to realize that he was just a very good friend. He's also now her neighbor, in a complex she found out about from Zach.

Lavender slowly realized that she could put her interest in clothing and Charms together and has been working to create a custom charmed accessories business for the past few months. She has just successfully negotiated a deal to have her items carried at Madam Malkin's and she's working to get them in some boutiques in Paris. She's grown more confident about herself - even going so far as to lose the scarves she'd been wearing to cover her scars.

As of now, Lavender is closer to the bubbly, flirty person she was before the attack, but with a greater sense of maturity and appreciation for people. She's less petty, more open, and probably more brave than she gives herself credit for. She's looking to grow her business, her friends, and maybe her love life in the next year.
