marlene’s eyes are brown with green and golden highlights noticeable with sunlight. to sirius it reminds him of the surface of lakes at sundown.

sirius’ eyes are light blue varying to grey. most people describe them as cloudy skies. to marlene it reminds her of the foam of the waves at the bottom of cliff where she spent most summer visiting her grandmother in the tiny island she lived.

marlene is tall (175 cms) but she still needs to tiptoe to reach sirius’ lips (186 cms). however, she’s the perfect size to drop little kisses at the nape of his neck. she loves doing that particularly when she has freezing lips after a winter excursion to hogsmead.

sirius looks very lean at a distance, but when you get up close and personal (as marlene does), turns out he’s very broad and muscular. marlene is constantly surprised when she buys him clothes having to look in the larger sizes. but it turns out that it provides her with comfy clothes when she borrows (sirius claims she steals) something to wear. she will be caught dead admitting he’s the reason she sometimes buys shirts and jackets on his size that are actually hers. she just loves when he wears them and his scent cling to her clothes long after.

on the other side, marlene leans more on the smaller frame but she’s all fiber muscle. she claims it’s all the tips in nutrition and proper training from her quidditch captain (the one and only james potter), but actually is due to the fact she constantly try to run and catch up with her older brothers so she could play with them. if it weren’t for that, she probably look more like a regular and more muscular quidditch beater.

that last one gives sirius plenty of chances to trick people into betting against marlene in quidditch matches or sometimes wrestling matches in the common room. marlene plays along because she enjoys proving people wrong. ofc that doesn’t last long after they finally catch up to the fact that marlene is actually quite strong. also, prof. mcgonagall frowns down on sirius gambling scheme.

sirius has always wore a signet ring with the family motto engraved in it. mostly hiding with magic, but because their cousins accused them with his parents he started wearing a lot more as to hide the family one. after he runs from home, marlene gifted him with his very unique and personal signet.

marlene wear lots of jewelry because she has always loved how her mother looks wearing them. most of her stuff is inherited, except for earrings. she went nuts piercing her ears first summer she went on an excursion with sirius in muggle london.

sirius wears a pinky ring that belonged to marlene and marlene wears a thumb one that belonged to sirius, but they also have a matching hoop with a little start dangling in both their left ears. sometimes, because she can’t quite comfortably use her wand, she takes the ring off and wears it as a necklace. sirius copy this once they join the order, in fear of losing it.

they both get into muggle clothing. sirius as a rebellious thing and marlene because she actually finds it more comfortable to move around. the matching leather jackets only became a thing after marlene borrowed sirius’ so often but she still prefers wearing his.

marlene cuts sirius’ hair, sirius does marlene pink highlights. as for bleach, sirius would rather marlene magically altered her hair as it looks more clean, but marlene really loves when her roots are showing. because of this, sirius makes sure to help her in hopes to get every strand of hair so it’s last longer all clearer.

as for tattoos, sirius never went too crazy seeing as he like doing them the muggle way and because of the order he didn’t have much time. marlene never got around to get any, though she wanted plenty.
