Dorcus Twelvetrees

Vain, self-centered air-headed witch who fell in love with No-Maj and Scourer descendant, Bartholomew Barebone, ultimately causing one of the worst breaches of the International Statute of Secrecy of all time, which led to the instatement of Rappaport’s Law in the United States. She was imprisoned for a year, after which she spent her life in isolation (Pm).

Dorcas was not a good student at Ilvermorny (Pm).
