ThreeWordSummary:: Wise, nature-loving, off-puttingly enthusiastic
UsuallyFoundIn:: Herbology Greenhouses , Hufflepuff Tower, The Three Broomsticks
Description
Professor Garlick has a warm, gentle face, with those little lines around her eyes that crinkle when she smiles. Her hair is a mix of gray and dark colors, currently (and possibly always) just a little bit messy, like she's been out in the greenhouses all morning. A sense that is reinforced by the dozens of tiny freckles, especially on her cheeks, that convey a life of sun, rain and soil.
She wears a soft gray-blue tunic with a subtle pattern on it, a bit worn in the way that clothes are when someone truly loves what they do. You can tell just by looking at her that she's kind, and you know by reputation that she knows all the secrets of every plant in the castle.

Interactions
| Session | Interactions |
|---|---|
| Session 07 - Falling Down | Despite their best efforts Cassie and Basil are brought before Headmaster Dippet for causing a disturbance in the School Library (open section). The headmaster, seemingly more amused than annoyed, lets them off with a warning on the promise it will not happen again and that they report themselves to Mirabel Garlick. They do no such thing. |
| Session 03 - Foray Into the Forbidden Forest | Cassie Weasley, Vi Thorne & Basil Featherstone attend a joint Potions & Herbology class (also attended by the Slytherin House 1st years) with Horace Slughorn & Mirabel Garlick (albeit with Prof. Garlick doing most of the heavy lifting). During this class they foray into the Forbidden Forest |
| Session 08 - Aftermath | Armando Dippet requests the help of Cassie, Vi & Basil in locating and retrieving Mirabel Garlick who rushed to the Herbology Greenhouses to check on her plantlife charges |

| Session 08 - Aftermath | Cassie, Vi & Basil hear Prof. Garlick from afar, saying she is caught in a large and dangerous plant. The project of Sean Perton, a Slytherin NEWT student of hers. |
| Session 08 - Aftermath | Making some headway in communicating with the wildly overgrowing plants in the Herbology Greenhouses, Vi is interrupted by Prof. Garlick ordering them all out as she is about to cut her way out. Vi grabs Mandrake (Vi's mandrake) and books it to safety with Cassie & Basil. The party leave the Herbology Greenhouses and head into the small 'garden' space between it and the main castle. |
