Character History:
It’s not easy being the daughter of two icons. Of course everyone in the world knows Greer’s mother, the one and only Anya Quinn Platt - Quidditch super star, cultural icon, amazing mum. Anya has led Puddlemere United to seven championship titles and at 43, she’s still in her prime. Theodore Platt, Greer’s dad, is a novelist and Greer’s favorite person in the entire world. From the moment she was born, Theo and Greer were inseparable. There are helicopter parents and then there’s Theo. He was more like an entire swat team. Sometimes he was a little much but his cautious temperament shaped who Greer is today.
In some ways, Greer was the parent to two sometimes-unstable adults. From an early age, she was a caring person, often being cautious herself in order not to drive her father over the edge. While other kids were riding toy brooms, Greer kept her feet firmly on solid ground despite having the natural talent that came with the Quinn name. She preferred to play in her backyard and often held her father’s hand to keep him calm. He’s always been her best friend and she didn’t mind that he hovered more than other parents.
Anya’s career took their little family of three all over the continent and it was decided that the best thing for Greer was to be homeschooled by her father at an early age. This meant that she didn’t get to interact with other children often, apart from her two cousins, and she had a hard time adjusting when she was thrown into social environments later on - something she had had to overcome by the time she was a teen. Acclimating to Hogwarts and its students was especially hard since Greer’s parents decided to wait a whole year after her eleventh birthday to send her to school. It took a lot of convincing on Anya’s part to get Theo to agree to send Greer to a school where he had witnessed so many horrors as a child and teenager. So not only was she the weird homeschooled girl who grew up in the limelight and a farm, she was also a whole year older than her peers.
Despite being a serious child to reflect her father’s personality, Greer has grown up to be more like her mother in not just looks but personality. She has an infectious spirit and a curious mind. When she was a child, she did everything she could to follow the rules set by her parents, but after one summer abroad (more like she left without her parent’s permission) with her Aunt Liliana and Uncle Martin, Greer has developed a rebellious streak. She still values the safety lessons her father has instilled in her and she loves him very much so she writes to him every other day, but there are a few things she won’t tell him about. It’s for the best, he’d just worry too much.
