OOC NAME: Meri
Amelia Longbottom!
The secret side of me
I never let you see, I keep it caged
But I can't control it. So stay away from me
The beast is ugly! I feel the rage
And I just can't hold it...It's scratching on the walls
In the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, In my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this? Make it end!

FULL NAME Amelia Alicia Longbottom[/color]
NICKNAME Amy, Lia, Alli[/color]
AGE Sixteen[/color]
GENDER Female[/color]
HOUSE OR FORMER HOUSE Hufflepuff[/color]
BLOOD STATUS Technically a Half Blood
PLAY-BY [/color][/color][/font]Ginny Gardner[/color]
CANON OR ORIGINAL Canon <3[/color]
ADULT OR STUDENT Student[/color]
PROFESSOR? IF SO WHAT SUBJECT? Not a professor[/color]
OCCUPATION? IF SO WHERE DO YOU WORK? Amelia volunteers most of her time to help Irma Prince in the Library, sometimes being excused out of her classes to check the entire library eighteen times as Irma Prince, the librarian is pretty much obssessive over the library's books and has to look at every book Amelia touches, sees, or goes remotely near to. Although, in some ways, she trusts Amy and gives her the responsibility of organizing the bookshelf (Which is a big feat when it comes to Hogwarts' librarian) And when Irma's not there, Amelia is expected to protect the Restricted Section at all costs (As Irma likes to say, "These books are more important than your life, you intolerable girl!")[/color]
MAGICAL BASICS
WAND Oakwood, Thirteen inches, Unicorn hair[/color]
PATRONUS Turtle[/color]
MIRROR OF ERISED Little 'ole Amy here found the Mirror of Erised due to being the klutz she is. Typically so, Amelia had found herself in a situation of bullying where a group of guys had found it funny to conjure up about a dozen snakes, two wolves, eight spiders, and one crab to chase her through Hogwarts and into a vacant room that held a mirror on the wall. Amelia had crept towards it curiously, jumping back with a startled scream when the surface rippled, then leaned in again to catch a glimpse of herself, the same jeans filled to the brim with holes and her neat and tidy Hogwarts' robes on, walking down the halls with her head held high and everyone seemed to respect her. Amelia knew immediately what she saw, a time where she wasn't thrown away as an outcast.[/color]
BOGGART This might sound terribly weird but...Herself. Being a werewolf, she knows she's bloodthirsty (Even not on a full moon werewolves tend to crave violence) and is scared that she'll hurt someone, or worse, kill another.[/color]
PERSONALITY
STRENGTHS Okay, let's face it; The Longbottoms are a long line of cowards which Amelia is. The blonde runs away from her problems either emotionally or not (This may not really sound like a strength but to her it is. It's much easier to flee from your problems instead of kick up drama and fight). Though she'll linger on a conflict reluctantly as if she can't pull herself away from it. This might be due to her Paronus being a turtle and since Patronuses are supposed to reflect the wizard/witch's personality, it has a connection of a turtle being slow. Though, academically, this girl is definitely not slow, like a a jackrabbit, actually. She excels at her academics (Obviously it may be because of all the time she spends in Hogwarts' library). Being a werewolf, she's had to learn to control her crave for violence and blood and torment so this girl, unsurprisingly, has unsurpassed patience and empathetic understanding and isn't at all easily offended. Another thing about Amelia is she doesn't care how she looks. Often times, she'll remove her shoes once she's inside the library and work barefoot.[/color]
WEAKNESSES Amelia is cowardly, yes, but not so that she doesn't handle out her fair share of snappy insults. She holds herself back from being bloodthirsty and wild but she can't help but be quite rude when provoked. Amelia may also be sweet, impossibly kind, but when she believes another deserves punishment, she is not one to show mercy. As already stated, this girl is generously empathetic but hates when people run around, piling on a sob story and begging for pity so she can be careless with others' feelings at times.[/color]
LIKES Amelia has always held those who value the worth of brains (Over brawns...But I guess Amelia can be said to have both XD) in her highest regards and respect. She loves those who pay attention to their studies and don't whine (Not just about academics but other petty things too). She hates likes it when people don't automatically pity her for being a werewolf (It makes her feel helpless) and loves a good friend. This girl also has a sweet tooth but instead of buying you regular candies, Amelia buys "Blood-Flavoured Lollipops" which help her calm her bloodlust (They're not ONLY for vampires!)[/color]
DISLIKES Amelia hates gossiping as she doesn't intend on hurting anyone (At least...She tries not too) and hates bullies. Trust me, she's had her fair share of those. She also dislikes people who judge others due to blood purity and if it were her way, she'd say to bloody hell with blood purity or popularity. That's another thing, Amelia despises the stereotypical "populars" Who, like, talk, like, so in this, like, way. She finds this a disgrace to the human race and especially hates it when people think they're the best as she most certainly knows she isn't.[/color]
OVERALL PERSONALITY People say your Patronus reflects your personality. This is all too true when it comes to Amelia. Like a turtle has a hard shell, she builds walls around herself to avoid making deep connections. That looming risk of hurting them while in her werewolf form or them hurting her is too much. Although these feelings are conflicted as she also craves the companionship of a friend. Amelia, of course, hates drama and would much rather like to stay in the safe haven called "The library" yet she finds herself reluctant to run away from every little problem. Yes, Amelia is a girl with conflicted feelings and who hides the monster that lives inside of her. Speaking of werewolves, due to her being one, she's become a bit more aggressive with much more brute strength than she had before and a natural aura that clearly screams, "Back off of else!" But actually, Amelia is really sweet (When not provoked) and a very helpful young lady.[/color]
HISTORY
MOTHER Hannah Abbott[/color]
FATHER Neville Longbottom[/color]
SIBLINGS Two unnamed brothers (Freedom to name for those who want to claim her brothers [/color]
OTHER In a way she's related to the Potters and Weasley's but just barely.[/color]
HISTORY Amelia grew up into a humble family where she was taught to be the most sincere and polite unless she wanted a soft smack at the knuckles with a ruler. Growing up though, she was adventurous, spontaneous, and wild when she wasn't sitting around acting all prim and lady like. One day, though, she took it too far. She'd stumbled into the Forbidden Forest with both of her brothers and they had been ambushed by four werewolves. They'd all ran and were quickly separated. All Amelia claims to remember of that night were to heavy bodies, lunging for her neck, sinking their sharp fangs into it and effectively breaking it too. Her brothers were sent back to her home and she doesn't know what happened to them. Amelia was sent to the Headmaster/Headmistress who said she/he would organize a place for her to hide every night of the Full Moon and that place turned out to be the Restricted Section of the library (Of course Irma put up a huge fight at that) but soon enough she found herself undergoing the most agonizing transformations in that room.
Now, as a sixteen year old in her sixth year, she's a Perfect and no problems have arisen (Besides the occasional bullying). Amelia had never known what started the bullying, but soon enough she'd walk down the corridors of Hogwarts to be greeted by a sarcastic insult. In her fifth year someone had grabbed hold of info of her being a werewolf and the bullying escalated to a huge degree and she lives as an outcast. Besides, why wouldn't a bloodthirsty mongrel like her be a freak? Amelia doesn't let it get to her and has rarely made friends, investing all her gentle love, care, attention, and devotion towards her work in the Library.[/color]
