ALICE LONGBOTTOM (NEE FORTESCUE) is played by LINDSEY MORGAN. TWENTY SEVEN. SHE/HER. CIS FEMALE. FORMER HUFFLEPUFF. ORDER OF THE PHOENIX. ( ellie. she/her. 19. gmt )
Hufflepuff, graduated 9 yrs ago, and was Head Girl and Captain of the Hufflepuff Quidditch Team as well as the only Hufflepuff in the Slug Club in her graduating year. (Donāt ever mention crystallised pineapples in front of her. Itās the only sweet treat she doesnāt like.)
Married to the light of her life, love of all her days, all time high score love of her life: Frank Longbottom. Heās her best friend, high key the love of her life and sheād do anything for him. Theyāre very seriously thinking about starting a family.
She was accepted to the Auror academy in her sixth year when applications opened. She was actual bouncing off the walls levels of excited about it, and then her mama died and the memory is sort of tinged with a lot of grief and anger.
Sheās a founding member of the Order of the Phoenix - some of the first early meetings (Dumbles/Fortescue (Flo)/Diggle/Bones (Ed)/Figg/Moody/McGonagall/Vance (a secret)/Fortescue/Longbottom) took place in hers and Frankās kitchen and since then, the Orderās only grown.
Has five younger siblings, a few that she helped raise, so, sheās just a bit of a mom friend(tm)?Ā
Became an Auror because sheās always wanted to be one - sheās never been one to sacrifice her own dreams for someone elseās comfort, and her decision to leave the family business of ice cream making stirred quite a few disagreements.
'Selfless to a nauseating degreeā describes her to a tee.
Alice is a polyglot - she grows up speaking English, Gaelic (owing to her French-Scottish father), French (owing to her French-Scottish father), Spanish (owing to her Mexican mama) and Welsh. She was the type of kid to know everyone and everything.
Her family gets a lot of stick for not really fitting in with the rest of the purebloods - the entire family doesnāt share the same affinity for purist ideals.
She worked hard to push herself to get all Oās in her NEWTs.
She took Magical Jurisprudence, Concealment and Disguise, Potions and Antidotes, Stealth and Tracking and Decipherment A and B, when she started at the Auror Academy.Ā
She sucks at domestic magic, and often relies on Frank or Augusta to get things done in that regard. Some days, she simply prefers scrubbing the dirty pans clean and doing her laundry herself.Ā
She struggles a lot with the balance between being soft and being ruthless - itās a trait that almost makes her feel like she was sorted into the wrong house, but sheās grown used to having these almost opposing inclinations. Sheās not a bad person. She knows that - has had years, and years, to discover these things about herself - but she knows that when sheās interrogating suspects, that she gets a rush.Ā
Catch her after a rough day kickinā back on the couch with a glass of red wine and her hand somewhere in Frankās hair.Ā
