In part. Not anymore; that's changed, but it was a factor in the past. But it - mainly had more to do with his actions. Power, actually. [ because dating a sparkly lizard voldemort is one thing. dating a sparkly lizard voldemort who dealt in human lives and could also literally steal hearts is another. ]

[ hey, +1 on the lizard part at least. ]

Sometimes the shape you take can reflect the person you are. [ a beat. she clears her throat. ] I think I heard that somewhere.
