iv. brief biography.
✧ astoria was the last born greengrass child to atticus and ophelia, making her the baby of the family. as atticus and ophelia both worked demanding jobs at the ministry of magic, the responsibility to raise astoria and daphne fell onto the house elves and the nanny's that the parents hired. when the greengrass parents were home, they were teaching their daughters how to either be perfect purebloods, which astoria took extremely serious. astoria had one job only: be the perfect pureblood woman, and her parents would be immensly proud of her.
✧ astoria's childhood was sheltered and lonely due to her parent's refusal of interacting with anyone lesser than them. as a child, astoria enjoyed talking to every person and animal that she encountered; taking astoria out in public anywhere was a multiple hour affair, which many adults in her life dreaded, so she was often left at home where she was often bored and under stimulated. fortunately for astoria, she had her sister to keep her company and astoria knew that daphne's favourite thing was listening to her sister's incessant talking.
✧ atticus and ophelia had always considered their youngest daughter a fragile girl that could not take the wizarding world at face value and expected their eldest daughter to keep astoria protected from the horrors of their world. because astoria has been extremely out of the loop of the wizarding world, she is considered to be naive and ignorant.
✧ the moment that astoria received her letter at eighteen, she could not stop talking about it to anyone who would listen. truthfully, she was ready to get out of the greenhouse manor and meet new people who were a little different than her, even if they weren't purebloods - her parents and the kept around nannies warned astoria about the lesser beings in hogwarts, but astoria only pretended to listen and nod encouragingly.
✧ when astoria was sorted into hufflepuff, she was mildly disappointed. she was delusional enough to think that she had the qualities of slytherin, and that the hat would see her potential in the house of the snake - unfortunately, she was a badger and was forced to sit with her hufflepuff housemates while her cheeks burned red with embarrassment... a perfect pureblood didn't get sorted into the weak hufflepuff.
✧ astoria's disappointed tune changed the moment that she had started herbology, where she realized that she had a natural green thumb. plants was something that astoria was instantly good at; she enjoyed how plants seemed complicated on the outside, but once used to them, they were straightforward.
✧ duelling was never a strong magical skill for astoria, as she scored a low grade in DADA in her first year. her parents, disappointed that their daughter seemed to care less about her duelling abilities, forced her to sign up for the duelling club in the start of her second year. during astoria's first session in the duelling club, her arse was handed to her and when the session ended, she was outside in tears. a man in her daphne's year, draco malfoy, awkwardly consoles her and promises to help her train in duelling.
✧ the moment that everything came out about harry potter and his death, astoria was terrified. she expressed her fear to her parents in hopes of some clarity and a sense of closeness to her parents, and the two convinced/manipulated her that the dark side was the only side that made sense in the long run, especially for somebody like astoria.
