Full Name: Astoria Elizabeth Greengrass
“Yea I know not the coolest name out there let alone the nicest, people make fun of it all the time and who in their rightful name names their kid Astoria, has a nice ring to it and has a great meaning behind it but still, I rather my mother have called me Elizabeth to be honest”[/b]
Nicknames: Ash, Tory, Tora, Greengrass, Pixie
“Those are my more common nicknames, I have many more but those I prefer not that I am big on nicknames, my sister mainly calls my Tory, everyone else calls me Pixie or Ash which I am fine with but I mean I have other nicknames and some I refuse to mention”[/b]

Wand: 9 1/2 inch, Ashwinder Ash core, Vine wood.
“It’s amazing and very beautiful. Ashwinder Ash though is a dangerous core to say the least, it’s extremely talented with protection charms and defensive work but having said that it’s also very talented at dark arts and dark magic… don’t ask how I know that”[/b]

“He is so pretty and black and fluffy and I love him, he’s 3 years old. At home I have an Eagle name Sophia and a white cobra named Oran, all are amazing but my cat is my Hogwarts pet”[/b]

i'm a gryffindor, i'll fly with my friends
We'll never back down, and fight to the end

Playby: Selena Gomez
“Some famous young muggle whoever the heck she is, it’s strange when people say I look like some muggle, an insult really.”[/b]
Hair: Dark brown
“My hair is thick, it falls past my shoulder and is naturally wavy with a nice spring to it, at the bottom of my hair though it naturally curls up. People say my hair is black but it is a dark brown colour though when it is wet and in the shadows I suppose it does look black. I do have a fringe and I pull it off to the side.”[/b]
Eyes: Hazel Brown
“My eyes are very large, round and a beautiful hazel brown colour, they seem to have hints of honey yellow throughout them especially towards the pupil.”[/b]
Height/Weight: 5'4ft & 56kgs.
“I am currently 5’4ft, I started school as 5’2ft and I will reach about 5’6ft by the end of graduation as the women in my mother’s family are tall and I am growing rather quickly, or so I am told. I weigh though about 56kgs at the moment, so I am very light.”[/b]
Distinguishing Marks:
“Well let’s see I have chubby cheeks people just love making fun off just like they love making fun of my button nose. Both my ears are pierced once each and if I were to get my bellybutton done which I was thinking of doing my father would kill me. I do happen though to have a freckle on my collar bone, the back of my left hand and my right ankle.”[/b]
Build:
“I am a slim person and have not fully developed yet and have yet to gain curves and all that stuff. I do though have long legs and long arms and seem rather skinny but I have a healthy look to me and I’m not one of those really skinny girls.”[/b]
Style:
“I am very fashionable and laid back. My mother is a designer so I have to keep up my own appearance to live up to her and the family name; I am a Greengrass after all. I dress in expensive clothing and unlike some people I prefer light colours, you know like bright ones, pinks, blues, yellows and so on, things that make me stand out rather than blend in with the crowd. None the less I am very down to earth with my clothing and sure I love dresses but I also love my jeans just as much. Sometimes I wear baggy clothes and other times I love tight clothing it all depends on my mood that day.

Of course I wear expensive makeup and jewels also though I don’t mind wearing that cheap stuff and enjoying wearing things that look cheap too. There are times when I guess I look like a slob but I am often the girl people know as bright and fashionable.”[/b]

Mirror of Erised:

Dementor:
“I was about 6 years old and got locked in the back shed during a storm, the entire thing shook and the wind howled, the thunder echoed, lightening lit everything up, I was afraid it was going to set the building on fire, what made it worse were all the spiders crawling around”[/b]

Personality:
SNEAKY – Astoria is a sneaky little girl who is very good at spying on people and following someone, she has this habit of lurking around corners, jumping out at people and gathering information that will be useful to her in the future, such as using it as black-mail. She is the perfect person to play a spy and sneak past the teachers often wriggling her way out of detention.

MANIPULATIVE – She is a very manipulative and cunning person who often gets her way, she can wrap people around her little finger and have people eating out of her hand, she is able to have people trust her and believe her words because most of the time she tells the truth she just has an alternative motive behind her actions most of the time. You can also count on this young girl to help you get revenge and have people guessing all the time.

DETERMINED – She is not someone who gives up easily, she is someone who fights until the end, she focuses on her school work getting good grades, when her mind is made up it’s made up she sticks to the plan until it’s been completed and changing her mind is a mission impossible. This can be a downfall of hers also making her a bit stubborn.

JOKER – Astoria is a practical joker, despite her sneaky sly and manipulative behaviour she can be a fun loving person and a talkative one but she is a practical joker and loves to pull pranks on people all the time, often or not let’s just say she gets some of her idea’s from Peeves. She enjoys having fun and teasing people at times but there is nothing better than placing a joke on someone or making a few ‘jokes’ of her own to make people laugh.

INTELLIGENT – There was a moment in time when she first arrived where the hat was going to place her in Ravenclaw but decided to go with Slytherin instead, possibly because Astoria hates riddles. She is however a very intelligent young lady and is always saying things beyond her years, she studies hard and always does extra work in her classes to gain good grades and great quotes from her teachers in the hopes she can become a great witch in the future. She may not be very good at focussing at times but when she puts her mind to something there is no stopping her. She hates being told she is wrong and will do the extra research to rub it in someone’s face that she was right.

UNDERSTANDING – Normally Astoria tries her best to see different points of view, she does her best to use her intelligence and her ability to care for people and need to make a difference and turn herself into an understanding person. She does her best to listen to people, to help when needed and always offer her support especially to her friends. Though she can seem to turn people down at times she has done her best to understand what people have been telling her and seeing different ways about doing things. You will find her often offering her support to her friends and family.

Current Residence: England
“We live in the country house, the mansion really though we own a hotel in London city and live in the penthouse when need be, I prefer the country though, more open space and not as much noise.”[/b]
History:
There is not much to Astoria's history really she is still rather young to say the least and has much left to live. She was born on a lovely night to a lovely family, she grew up being loved, having a big sister to watch and learn from and no doubt she would often do something to get her sister into trouble, she would blame her sister for something she herself did and often or not she was being caught getting into trouble with her sister, despite these fights though she was close to her sister and was often found crawling after her sister before she started running around and pulling everything off the shelves, sending quills and knives flying around the room, stole her father's wand at one point and would often crawl out of her bed and hide in her parents bed so they'd have to take her back to her bed again. It was a fun little game of hers. She would even hide in her sister’s bed at times normally seen hiding in Daphne’s room when a storm was brewing outside.

However time went by and she grew up a little, she stopped causing so much trouble and yet she was still giving her parents a bit of a headache at times. She of course would lie around reading books and looking over photo's she went through the 'why' stage and 'no' stage and was taught all about the history of her family and the magical community, was taught what side she was to take if ever needed and would simply nod her head. Her worst memory is probably when she was small and she’d annoyed her sister, Astoria was about 6 years old and she’d heard the cat outside during a storm. She’d gone to let it in only her sister locked her outside before Astoria walked into the sotrage shed and found herself locked in it. She’d been stuck in the rain for a few hours before she'd gone into the cold shed and her father heard her and let her inside. From that day Astoria has been afraid of fork lightening and loud noises, she happened to get rather sick because of rain and caught Pneumonia.

Like all kids she got sick a few times, broke her arm when she was 7 and then when her sister went to Hogwarts she got jealous and was often running around the house waiting for an Owl and news from her sister, she loved when she came home for Christmas she even made her a Christmas present instead of going and buying it and when it came time for her to go to Hogwarts the year after she was hurrying around getting her supplies dragging everyone all around the place jumping with joy. Of course before everything changed and her sister went to Hogwarts Astoria was blessed with knowing about other pureblood families and how to act lady like and such. She was always told she would one day marry and have children and do whatever her husband told her… stories she never liked and hoped for more in life. Her mother was very good friends with the Parkinson family and the Malfoy family, to say the least Astoria developed a small crush on Draco at a young age, feelings that came and went and came and went and so on, she however never took a liking to Pansy who her sister did. Over the years she has put up with Pansy for her sister and mother’s sakes.

When she finally got to go to Hogwarts she was thrilled. The first year at Hogwarts was ok, it was interesting enough, she made friends and enemies and got detention more than she would have liked but focussed on her studies when she could while also sitting with her sister at meals and seeing her out for help with homework at times and of course Astoria would cause massive trouble for people especially the Gryffindors and Hufflepuffs, that was the fun bit of the years.

Time went by though, she watched her sister fall in love and out of it, stuff that confused her, she never got why people dated and such even people in 2nd year had started it but she was not into that then at all she was focused on her studies and the big match that was taking place at Hogwarts. She was thrilled though when the Dragon challenge took place she was able to take a photo of each Dragon but was not allowed near them, simply seeing them and watching the tournament was exciting enough. She always remembers how they breathed fire and how they’d take off as the gust of wind wisped through her hair, the simple thought makes her smile. However though as much fun as the year was she watched as death suddenly came to Hogwarts and Cedric died, she never made fun of his death but paid her own respects however she feared what Harry Potter had said and soon enough her family realised the truth.

In her 3rd year boys did notice her a bit and she noticed them a bit just not as they noticed her. Just for a bit of fun though she got her first kiss but was not very fussed on it and made nothing of it shaking it off as if nothing had happened. She would cause some trouble just to piss the pink lady off and started to teach herself defence lessons outside of the school and in different classrooms always sneaking around and doing things she shouldn’t, she would often screw her face up at a new ‘rule’ and disobeyed them all the time. It was over the Christmas break that she learnt her father had become a Death Eater and her mother followed in his steps as a good wife would do. Her father had never been a Death Eater before but her Uncle had been, it seemed with Voldermort's rising her father had feared the saftey of his family and daughters and with the manipulative words of her Uncle her father joined the Death Eater ranks offering his services and company to Voldermort as he assumed it would keep his family safe if Voldermort should win the war.

She fears Voldermort because of the power he holds and because her father was so fearful of him and the power the Death Eaters had that he was worried for his families life hence why he joined or that is the reason Astoria had read in her father's journal when he did not give her the truth. For this reason she lets her anger drive her towards Voldermort and her Uncle but still fears the Dark Lord.

School went back and she went a bit quiet, she studied more and watched people around her trying to think of a way to help her father and family in their situation. She was very pleased when Umbridge went missing and things went back to normal but now a new year has started, things are changing but she is glad Umbridge is not back at the school. She doesn’t know what this year will bring but she hopes it is good things.

so who are we fighting for? gryffindor, givin' it all for the red and gold!
and who are we flying for? gryffindor, this is battle this is war!

Name: Kirsten
Time Zone: GMT 9.5+
RP Experience: 8 years
How Did You Find Us?: From Becca
Role Play Sample:

The school was buzzing with students once again, as it always was every afternoon but today Astoria really did seek some peace and quiet and hoped she might gain something along those lines outside the school in some fresh air and soak up what sunlight she could get into her system. The fresh air always cleared her mind and the warmth of the sun always made her smile and feel safe for reasons she could not explain.

Slowly the sounds of the many students in the halls faded away behind her, where to go though was another question. The lake would be rather pleasant, the small chairs around would be nice but no doubt already people would be crowding the squares so that left her to go with a more simple place, the Quidditch Pitch. She had no idea if someone was practicing today or if a team was but as she walked onto the pitch there was no one around so she walked up several stairs and into the stand taking a seat.

Finding herself alone she sat down and pulled out a book she probably only got 3 pages in when she closed it and put it away taking in the scene around her, it was a beautiful one, the weather was lovely and she wished she'd had brought a broom with her to fly around but instead she was stuck on the ground without the freedom of flight and ability to go wherever she pleased. Letting out a sigh she scanned the ground before spotting someone enter the rink and squinted her eyes to see who they were and what they might be up to.
