Minerva McGonagall

One word: Bagpipes. Why is there a Celtic band at a rock concert? Because Celtic-punk-rock is totally a genre, that's why.

Agoraea is considered the wisest of the Thebans, though those outside Thebes consider that a relatively small claim. She is not famed for coming to quick solutions, but there is wisdom in slow contemplation.

While Agoraea only intended to remain in Iolchis until the matter of what to do about the gods' detachment had been addressed, she found that there was far too much chaos there to walk away easily. She attempted to instill so manner of order during the ascent to Olympus and organized response to various natural disasters.

Come the divine conclave, her reponse was two fold. On the divine side, she lectured the gods on their inappropriate conduct. But on the mortal side, she wished to protect them from any future divine infighting. Beginning with creating guidelines for buildings better able to withstand earthquakes.

The Professor is an instructor at the Slammer School, teaching young Slammers the ins and outs of working with their new Pogemon partner. She does also involve herself in some Pogemon research, but her primary passion is for teaching. She is also responsible for the care of her grandsons Phillip and Leon since their father's mysterious disappearance.

She entered the tournament and was knocked out in the round of sixteen in a surprise upset. Which she could not have been more thrilled about, since it was a rather brilliant tactic on Natsumi's part.

When rogue Pogémon crossed into the world, she tried to keep everyone safe. Unfortunately, her grandson Shawn intervened without the support of his partner and was killed. This was, needless to say, devastating. She threw herself into protecting everyone she could while the fighting continued and was faced with having to pick her life back up when it was all over.

After a long sailing career, Minnie was more than happy to settle down on the Crownbreaker Isles. Retirement, it turns out, suits her. As does her marriage to Elphinstone in the new settlement. Her haunting method of choice was the "ghost bride" gambit, though it became clear that whatever brought the strangers to their shores was more important than ghosts. In the end, her skillset was a poor match for the current challenges but she helped where she could in a supporting role. (We don't talk about this overlay...)

Minerva has been on the Council and privy to its secrets for a considerable amount of time. She has numerous grandchildren as well as a great-grandson who she thought to be very sickly. She was not aware that he was in fact a cross-sensitivity child.

Eventually the secrets all came to light and she could see the writing on the wall. She attempted damage control but integration was going to be the only option. She spent a great deal of time wrangling Albus Dumbledore and Yoda into seeing what had to be done. And trying to explain the situation to her grandson Liam.

In her youth, Minerva McGonagall was Empowered by an encounter with an ancient cat spirit, allowing her to engage in adventuring as The Cat. Her superhuman speed, agility and senses led to an excellent reputation for being able to put a stop to crime. All strictly on the up and up, of course.

Eventually, she married the unpowered Dougal MacGregor and gave birth to two sons: Matthew "Matty" MacGregor and Melvin Julian "Jules" MacGregor. She retired from active heroing and opened Professor M's School for Gifted Children to teach the young Empowered to use their powers responsibly. The teaching staff are all properly licensed for superheroing and are occasionally joined by senior students on missions. While studying at the school, Jules fathered a daughter, Maria, who has also wound up in the family's care.

Service Week attracted the attention of a higher than usual amount of new students. Which may have been for the best because registration at the school also allowed for the new students to have proper paperwork when checks intensified. Maria got into the cupboard of confiscated items and Minerva considered retrieving the scattered artifacts a valuable lesson.

The boys managed to find all sorts of trouble, with Jules forgetting his wallet when the Manticore Knights were checking. Though this was not nearly as concerning as Matthew's state after the death of the Angels.

And then the King and Queen showed up at the school.The Queen took particular interest and promised funding to expand the primary school facilities in light of the increasing number of early manifestations. This also resulted in a Trump mark how 'bout that.

Minerva took a group of students to attend the inauguration of the Solomon Ring. When things went awry, she oversaw evacuation of the crowd.

One can hardly go around introducing oneself as Minerva in ancient Rome. So she'll be giving her name as Sulis after a goddess who was synchretized to Minerva upon the conquest of Britain. She'll be passing herself off as a the widow a minor aristocrat, possibly with ducklings.

There was some clucking at wayward investigators and fussing over Feli. It was a pretty low key first jaunt.
