A N D R O M E D A ,

Name: Andromeda ( advising like a man ) Callisto ( most beautiful ) Tonks ( twin ) , née Black ( absence of light ) . Nicknames: Andy & Dromeda ( though good luck if you ever call her that and you’re not Ted, who she’ll forgive almost anything ) . Age: Twenty-seven . Birthday: September 21st , 1951 . 6PM sharp . Place of Residence: In a flat in London, with Ted and Nymphadora .  Pronouns: She / her / hers . Sexual Orientation: Bisexual . 

Tattoos: None whatsoever. Scars: A small one over her left eyebrow from a fight between sisters when she was a child. Piercings: One in each ear. Classic.  Vices: Pride. Lust. 

Sign: Virgo sun, Gemini moon & Aquarius ascendant.  MBTI: ISTJ, the Logistician.  Alignment: Lawful good.

House: Slytherin.  NEWTS: Potions ( O ), Transfiguration ( O ), Herblogy ( E ), Charms ( O ) & DADA ( O ). Languages Spoken: English, French and some Ancient Greek. Simply because she felt like learning it one summer. 

Parents: Cygnus Black III & Druella Black. Siblings: Bellatrix Lestrange (née Black) & Narcissa Malfoy (née Black).  Family Background: The middle child of the Black sisters, she was the perfect example of a perfect pureblood daughter until, one day, she wasn’t. Her family believed in blood purity more than they believed in anything else, and she never agreed, though she always kept her mouth shut. She liked the grand events; the soirées, the galas, the balls. She liked the luxury, the decadence. She liked manners, and doing what was proper. She loved her family, but she ended up loving someone else even more. 

Wand: Vine wood with a dragon heartstring core, 14″ and unyielding flexibility.  Patronus: Wild cat.  Boggart: A tiny coffin. One made specifically for a child.  Amortentia: The smell of grass after the rain, lilies of the valley and a perfume she once smelled in a muggle shop — Chanel no. 5.  Prefect/Head: She was a Slytherin prefect from fifth to seventh year, but she asked her head of house not to make her Head Girl in her seventh year because she wanted to focus on her studies. Of course, she had assumed she would be made Head Girl.  Quidditch: Andromeda despises sweating like some common... person, and has a secret fear of heights. So, no.  Other Clubs: She wasn’t the most socially active person, and still isn’t, so no.

Name: Bellatrix Hecate Lestrange ( née Black ) Nicknames: Bella Age: Thirty Two Birthday: December 23, 1947 Place of Residence: Lestrange manor Pronouns: She/her Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Tattoos: Her most cherished tattoo is the dark mark on her left wrist. She also has a snake circling her ankle, ‘toujours pur’ etched into the back of her neck. Scars: Though Bellatrix has gathered quite a few scars over her tenure as a death eater, she usually has them covered up, unless they carry some sort of special meaning to her ( aka if she got them doing something that she would like to remember, or if the person who inflicted the wound is someone she almost respects, even though they are an enemy ). All the scars she accumulated from her years on the Quidditch team have been covered and forgotten. Piercings: Bellatrix has her ears pierced ( both the regular kind, the helix kind, and the forward helix kind ). She also sporadically wears a tongue piercing. Vices: Pride and wrath. Alcohol and violence. Bloodlust and impatience. Ambition and arrogance. 

Sign: Capricorn MBTI: ENTJ / ENFJ  Alignment: Chaotic evil

House: Slytherin NEWTS: Charms (O), Potions (O), Transfiguration (O), Herbology (E), Defense against the dark arts (O), Alchemy (E). Languages Spoken: English, French and Latin

Parents: Druella and Cygnus Black. Siblings: Narcissa Malfoy and Andromeda Tonks. Family Background: Certain expectations came with being the eldest daughter to the House of Black. The infinite riches, beautiful galas, pretty clothes, friendships set in stone and expensive tutors all came at a certain... price. But it was a price that Bellatrix was born to pay - blood purity and the idea that she was part of a very small elite came natural to her. So it should have been no surprise that the first born daughter of the House of Black mantled her crown and her throne with ease ( only a few hiccups a long the way --- nothing that money and power can’t fix ), making a name for herself in the pureblood society. For better or for worse.

Wand: 12 ¾, walnut, dragon heartstring, fairly bendy. – “ Versatile and adaptable, walnut is frequently paired with innovators and inventors as it is attracted to intelligence. Once subjugated, walnut will perform any task desired. Lacking a moral compass, it can prove lethal in the hands of those lacking conscience, as the owner and wand may feed unhealthily off one another. “ — “ Dragon heartstring wands are noted for producing powerful magic and flamboyant spells. But they are temperamental, being more prone to wild flares of magic that cause accidents. These wands are the easiest of the Supreme Cores to turn to the Dark Arts. “ Patronus: A large jaguar. Big black eyes. Seems just seconds away from devouring you. All muscle, power and violent death. Boggart: She sees the broken body of the Voldemort she met, years ago. A beautiful man, dark eyes, jet black hair. Still human. His body is mangled, torn to pieces. Ultimately powerless and completely destroyed. It’s both Bellatrix’s fear to never have known power like this (hence why she sees a younger version of him), but to also see Lord Voldemort fall. Amortentia: Pine trees, coffee beans, iron, red wine, lemons and thunder storms. Prefect/Head: Neither. Quidditch: The sport is etched into her very bones, and she grew up on the Quidditch field ( always getting lectured about tearing up her clothes, getting mud on her brand new shoes --- but no one ever got too mad, she was still fraternizing with other pureblood kids, after all. Making connections. ) Once at Hogwarts, she joined the Quidditch team as a beater. As a player, Bellatrix was talented but merciless. Her playing style was cruel, and sent quite a few kids to the hospital wing. And as for teams that she supports, she has always cheered for the Falmouth Falcons ( a team that’s notorious for its fierce and violent style of play ). She likes their team motto: ‘let us win, but if we cannot win, let us break a few heads’. Other Clubs: Bellatrix was in the Slug Club, but was mostly known for her tendency to move around clubs, showing up to odd meetings of clubs she never registered for. She usually got away with it, because she was well liked, and well connected.

AND:

TED TONKS CHARACTER INFLUENCES.

NICK DUNNE from gone girl the novel ( there’s a definite line where nice guy-nick ends and where something much darker begins, super chill, has perfected the craft of looking both like an asshole and the guy next door at the same time, so so so loyal.... until the moment that he’s not and you never hear from him again, pathological smiler, chronic people-pleaser ).

NEWT SCAMANDER from fantastic beasts and where to find them ( have you ever met a man so kind? and has he ever met a person or a beast that he couldn’t love? incredibly dedicated, could easily be a hufflepuff too, book smart, quiet, so so so curious, witty and a little awkward ). SCOTT LANG from ant man ( does too many chewbacca impressions, total nerd, tells cheeky jokes when you least expect them, winks at people way too often, man of honor, would totally hack a corporation and give back to the wronged workers if the opportunity present itself, dad of the year, tongue in cheek humor, falls over himself ), JACKSON AVERY from grey’s anatomy ( just a very good man, values kindness, great with kids, born to be a dad, protective of what he loves, always tries to cheer people up, charismatic ). NICK BURKHARDT from grimm ( chose his job because he wants to help people, that ‘i can’t believe you’ve done this vibe’, doesn’t see everything in black and white, can find good in anyone if he looks really hard, becomes apathetic and cynical in dire situations, pretty laid back ), CHIDI ANAGONYE from the good place ( likes to overanalyze things to the point of self destruction, a little quiet, book smart, very curious about other people and their intentions, loves riddles, over thinker, can’t make up his damn mind to save his life, bends easily for authority ), STEFAN SALVATORE from the vampire diaries ( ultimately a good guy probably, mostly concerned with other people’s happiness and forgets about himself like 24/7, is the little brother but acts like the big brother, lowkey indifferent at times ), BEN WYATT from parks and recreation ( total dad, always there for you, that friend that pretends not to judge you but deep down totally does, super dedicated, extremely stubborn, always supportive ) and MERLIN from bbc’s merlin ( selfless and kind, pretty chill, very sarcastic, way too indulgent of other people’s shenanigans and shitty behavior, pokes fun at himself, tries to fix everyone else but totally forgot to fix himself & his nonsense first ).

Her family is very religious, coming from Northern Ireland. Jack and Annabeth were absolutely disgusted to find out what their daughter was. In turn, it banished them from the only place they’d ever called home. She hasn’t spoken to them in years due to the fact that they forced her to mutilate herself in order to free demonic spirits they’d thought lay to rest in her soul. She was said to be possessed by the devil himself, each summer she’d returned from home was hell to her. They were never really too close. Mary was always a quiet child, a recluse even, and they’d been almost ashamed of her.

N E U T R A L ;

It made sense at first. To stay in the middle, neutral, neither supporting a side or the other. As a healer, you needed to have no bias, and Andromeda was well aware of that. And as it had been a dream of hers to be a healer since she was twelve years old, she had made up her mind about her place in the war quite early on. Of course, she kept it hidden from her family. She was well aware of their convictions, and though she didn’t agree with them, she always kept her mouth shut. 

In Hogwarts, it was easy to stay neutral. The war wasn’t completely absent from the school’s hallways, but it was far lesser than the war outside the stone walls. Andromeda spoke to few, mostly kept to her small circle of old friends and Slytherins, and most would have probably assumed she would eventually end up on the Dark Lord’s side, what with her family name and her seemingly cold nature. Thing was, Andromeda had never believed in the concept of blood purity. It had started, when she was little, from her not understanding why her parents treated muggles like lesser beings when they looked just like her, and had grown into an inner rebellion against those discriminatory beliefs. Not that that rebellion ever saw the light of day, not really, but inside? Inside, Andromeda knew she believed in equality. 

Still, when it came down to it, Andromeda never thought of herself as a fighter. As someone who’d actively work to defend others. She’d save them, and she’d do it well, but she couldn’t imagine herself in the battlefield. Plus, she was scared. Terrified, really. How would she react if she ever came face to face with her older sister whilst fighting for the other woman’s enemy? And of course, there was not a single doubt in Andromeda’s head about the fact that she would never side with the Dark Lord. Not just because of Ted and Nymphadora, because of course they played a big part in the way she felt about it all, but because she simply didn’t believe in the Death Eaters’ cause. Still, she did not fight. She did not rebel, she did not rise up. She stayed right smack in the middle, healing people from both sides yet starting to feel a bit more resentful towards a particular side.

Sometimes, she regrets it. Regrets not fighting for what is right. But then... Then she looks at Nymphadora and Ted, and regrets nothing at all anymore. She knows fighting would put her life at risk, would also risk her family. And she can’t do that. She can’t risk her family, risk losing them, or risk them losing her. Her family’s her life, even more so than her work, and she’d do anything to keep them safe. Even if that means not fighting for what is right, for what would serve them in the long run. And really, sometimes Andromeda doubts herself. Wouldn’t fighting benefit Ted and Dora in the end? Wouldn’t she be saving them, in a way, if she fought against those who meant to destroy them?

CHALLENGE THREE : AFFILIATION

Write about your character’s affiliation. This can be in the form of a self-para, in depth essay, or even bullet points. Why are they a… (death eater, neutral, order member)? What is their role within their organization? How does it affect their friendships? Their family relationships? Do they have any regrets?
