| Hello students of Beauxbaton's. Most of you won't know anything about your houses, so here's a little background on all 3 of them!  Eponette 
Eponette is the house of the magnificent, noble and gentle. People in Eponette are very etiquette, but they are brave, justified and they do have a gentle nature as well. They will battle for what they believe in, but are very merciful. Eponette is named after a historian, Monsieur Matthieu Eponette. Matthieu was all about equality between Muggles and Wizards/Witches, in fact he was the one who started the change in France of Muggles being thought of as equal to Pureblood's. It has taken many, many decades for this idea to develop into something more, but he was the one who started it.
Avis
Avis is the house of ambition, deviance and intelligence. The peacock symbolises that looks can be deceiving, and this is exactly what the people of Avis house are. They can appear to be sweet and lovely, but they have an ambition in their heart to achieve their goals, a thirst that can only be satisfied by knowledge and they are wickedly deceitful. Avis house was named after Madame Fay Avis, who was the woman that led the campaign on witch rights in France, effectively making witches allowed outside of their houses, and to join in the real world like all of the men. They say that she used her beauty, her intelligence and her ambition to win. Which is why these are the three qualities of the house.
Renard
Renard is the house of cunning, strategic thinking and passion. The people of Renard are very good at quick-thinking, and coming up with brilliant plans in emergency situations. Just like the Avis people, they can be deceitful and cunning in their ways, with passion for what they believe in to go with it. These people are in fact incredibly passionate about whatever they believe in. Renard is named after the founder of Beauxbaton's, and these were his three most valued traits in society. |
