Gender: Female
Name: Anastasia Rose Lafaye
House: Gryffindor
Bloodline: Half-blood
Age/Birthday: She's 17, her birthday is December 22.
Eye Color/Shape: Large almond shaped, startling dark green eyes, which seem to get lighter around the iris. On a sunny day, you could see the immense amount of gold flecks that rest in her eyes. Also, when one of her violent mood swing occurs, you can see the splotches of grey that form above the green.
Hair Color/Style/Length: Her hair falls a little above her waist, with long layers, and outgrown bangs. She's decided that she wants her hair to grow naturally, so it's light brown, with natural blonde highlights from the sun. She usually has her bangs braided to the side. Her hair waves lightly, and it doesn't start to wave until after her ears.
Height: She's about average, with a stature about 5'6.
General Appearance: She has light freckles that cover her nose, and cheeks. They also invade her shoulders. She has really deep dimples when she smiles, but she rarely does anymore. Her lips are perfectly shaped; plump, and perfectly kissable. Her teeth are all straight, and pearly white. Her eyebrows are refined and sharp, with an arch. Her eyelashes are naturally long and thick. Her skin tone is like a light russet brown-red; which makes her eyes so startling, because she tans so easily. Her body is average. Depending on where you look; she has curves in all the right places, a bust that rides along the C-Cup line, and a bottom, that fits into most size 5 jeans. She has a large scar on her left wrist, which makes out to be the infinite symbol. (She carved it onto herself when she was 13.)
Dressing Style: She wears mostly anything that is comfortable. During normal Hogwarts days she dresses appropriately. But on a normal day outside the castle, you'll find her wearing fitted skinny jeans, with a long sleeve shirt of any kind. She wears nothing BUT moccasins, even on occasional school days where she decides to put them on. She rarely wears jewelry, but she'll wear a bracelet on her right arm and a ring on her left hand. She hides the only necklace she wears, (It was a gift from her Nana, before she passed away. It's a dream catcher that's made out of brass, and has two feathers connected to it. Everything is made out of brass.)
Personality: She's very opinionated; and not afraid to speak her mind. She's brave, and confident, and some people might even see her as rude. She doesn't care about the rules or anyone else for that matter. But it's all a facade, deep down, she can be sweet, and sensitive, but it's just not in her nature to do so. She's creative and artistic, and loves to draw. She's a big adventure seeker, and loves getting into physical altercations. She has a motherly side to her, a protective nature about her. She hates to see people getting bullied, and will stand up for anyone. She likes to take all the blame, and have the punishment all on her.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: She likes reading, & you can almost always find her in the library with her face shoved into the biggest book you can find. She loves winter time, and when the wind blows against the castle. She loves drawing, and writing. She also likes to work-out, something that you can't necessarily do at Hogwarts, that's why she decides to join the Quidditch team.
Dislikes: She is deathly afraid of thunder. She herself doesn't even understand why. She hates bullies; even though many people see her as one, she sees herself as the underdog hero. She hates ignorant people, and people who state the obvious. Her sleeping schedule is really messed up, she's always tired during the day, and wide awake during the night. She hates that it's this way but she can't help it. She gets about 5 hours of sleep a night.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
Strengths: Her attitude, and how she won't let anyone come close. Her ability to learn, and conceive knowledge. She's loyal, and brave and not afraid to stick up for something that's right. She is also physically strong, whereas not many people are. Most people just use their wand, whereas she can use both.
Weaknesses: She would like to say that she has none, but it's not true. Her attitude is just as much a weakness as it is strength. She hates letting people in because she feels that she needs to protect her loved ones from herself. She can never find a good thing about herself; she always has something bad to say; or something that she can always fix. She hates being the way she is, but it's all she knows how to be.
History: Her mother lives in America, and her Aunt Carley lives in London. She hasn't had contact with her father since she was nine years old. She has two younger siblings, but they're only "half-siblings" seeing as they don't have the same dad. Her father was a witch, and her mother is a muggle. She grew up, taking care of her younger siblings, knowing that if she didn't feed them, they wouldn't be fed. She had to make sure that they took showers, and had clean clothes, every day of her life. Her mother is never home, always out and about with some man. Sometimes she brings them home late at night, and she caught them doing things in her mother's room. Her mother would shoo her away; but Anastasia never slept, and bad things would happen when her mother was tucked in bed, sound asleep. She has a lot of anger built up inside, ready to explode any moment. She's a ticking time bomb. She doesn't understand why Hogwarts sent a letter to her, since she doesn't live in London; but she's happy about it. Every year, her father's sister, takes her to London, and helps her buy the things she needs for Hogwarts. During the summer vacations, Anastasia takes on a couple jobs at a time, so her Aunt doesn't have to pay for everything. But little does she know that her father is giving her Aunt the money. She has a bank account with Gringott's that specifically her own; which is all the summer money that she has came up with. It's not much, but she's working her way up there. She stays at Hogwarts during Christmas break, and reluctantly goes home during the summertime.

Strong Area of Magic: She excels in most of her classes, yet she actually enjoys Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, Ancient Ruins, and DADA.
Weak Area of Magic: She excels in most of her classes, but she thinks Potions class is a bore. History of Magic doesn't really bother her, she barely shows up for this class anyways. She also thinks Muggle Studies is a bore as well, seeing as she grew up in the Muggle world.
Wand: Birch, 13 1/3", dragon heartstring.
Anything else that I might have missed or you feel that I should know about your character, please place here:
· She's a back-up chaser on the Quidditch team, so not many people know that she plays. She's good enough to put on the field, but she rather stay away from the spotlight. She loves to practice, & this is where she, Hermione, Ron, and Harry get close.
· She has a lot of memories from her past, that come back to haunt her at any given time. She has random mood swings, and tends to walk out of many different classes, at many different times. She has a really bad anger problem, but some people know the exact thing to calm her down. (Harry, Ron & Hermione.)

Freckles dust the tops of her cheeks and the bridge of her nose, and have a small, dark freckle beneath her left eye. She has straight, pearly white teeth underneath light pink plump lips. When she smiles she has two dimples.
Personality: She's a complex person who has many different sides to her; she's an excellent listener, and can give decent advice, but she refuses to express her own emotions because she bottles the ones that she fears. She gets angered fairly easy but she's not one to hold grudges. She loves to see people laughing and having a good time, but she's quite sarcastic and has a dry sense of humor that not many people understand. She seems a lot more mature than her peers, but her actions sometimes contradict that notion because her lack of self control when it comes to expressing her anger. She can get quite snappy and harsh when she's angry and she doesn't like seeing herself get out of control.
Likes: She loves learning new spells and excelling in school, she likes to do her homework by the Black Lake, and read in the Gryffindor common room late at night. She enjoys drawing the Muggle way, with sketch pads and pencils and this is where she and Dean get along. She likes when Oliver sits on her lap when she's sitting by the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room.
Dislikes: She doesn't like being wrong, getting bad grades, watching people get bullied, or seeing people get hurt. She hates when she feels depressed for no reason, when she gets angry at her friends because of stupid things that are her fault, and when her friends are upset with her.
Strength(s): She's a quick learner that uses her new skills adaptively. She relies on instincts and intuition and follows the rhythm of her own drum and never sways from her judgment unless she is proven wrong. She's also physically strong; she's able to hold her own in a fight - Without her wand. She's not afraid to stick up for what is right, and calling peoples out on their shit.
Weaknesses: Sometimes she can be too stubborn, get angry too quickly, and she has a tendency to break things. She goes through the opposite of what most girls go through; she has problems expressing her emotions because she keeps them all locked inside her until she can't possibly keep them in any longer, and this fuels the rage that explodes when she's angry.
Skills/Talents: She's very fast with her wand, able to do basic non-verbal magic, she has a photographic memory, and she's a very quick learner.
Family:
· Charles A. LaFay- (Father/Wizard) They get along great, and they usually live alone together during the summer holidays. But her Aunt Carley usually comes and stays for a couple months whenever she feels like it. They like to have fun, and joke around and they tell each other the truth no matter what. They respect each other's personal space, and are fiercely protective of each other. Charles is very lenient with Ana, but it's just because he knows how mature and cautious she is, and he doesn't have to worry too much.
· Carley A. LaFay (Aunt/Wizard) Ana and her Aunt Carley have a really great relationship, and she usually sends her postcards from where ever she goes. She has her own room at Charles and Ana's place. She stepped into the mother role for Ana when Akira had an affair with a Muggle and had the twins Guin and Xander eleven years ago. Carley sees her brother in Ana so much and sometimes she'll comment on how much they are actually alike.

· Red Oak- You will often hear the ignorant say that red oak is an infallible sign of its owner's hot temper. In fact, the true match for a red oak wand is possessed of unusually fast reactions, making it a perfect dueling wand. Less common than English oak, I have found that its ideal master is light of touch, quick-witted and adaptable, often the creator of distinctive, trademark spells, and a good man or woman to have beside one in a fight. Red oak wands are, in my opinion, among the most handsome.
· Dragon - As a rule, dragon heartstrings produce wands with the most power, and which are capable of the most flamboyant spells. Dragon wands tend to learn more quickly than other types. While they can change allegiance if won from their original master, they always bond strongly with the current owner. The dragon wand tends to be easiest to turn to the Dark Arts, though it will not incline that way of its own accord. It is also the most prone of the three cores to accidents, being somewhat temperamental. (From Pottermore)
