Physical Description: Tall for her age, Annaliese stands at 150 cm. She has a head full of curly blonde hair and freckles littering her tanned skin. Her stormy blue eyes are framed by thick eyelashes and straight eyebrows. Her frame is lean and lithe as she was an active child, constantly running around.
Mental Description: Growing up, Annaliese never had a problem with making friends, always a loud and outgoing girl, yet she struggles to maintain her relationships due to a lack of empathy, coming off as insensitive when she fails to realize she’s crossed a line. She had a tendency to cause mischief and pull pranks, to push the limits of the adults around her, curious to see how much she’d get away with. However, she also has a knack for getting out of trouble once she does find herself in a difficult spot, weaseling herself out of punishment with her innovation and quick thinking. Impulsive and fearless, Annaliese is always trying new things, saying yes to every opportunity. Once she sets her mind to something, there’s no stopping her from achieving her goals, her ambition and stubbornness driving her to succeed. Despite her extroverted personality, Annaliese tends to hold people at an arm’s length, preventing them from getting too close. She has a hard time trusting people but is also fiercely loyal over those she does care about and is quick to defend them, her hot-headed temper or sarcastic comments getting her into one too many skirmishes. Her confidence can come across as arrogance but she uses it as a shield, hiding her true feelings. Rather than talking about it, you’ll find herself pushing herself on the Quidditch course or planning an exuberant prank.
Biography: Raised in a wealthy family of wizards and witches, Annaliese has been drilled with etiquette since she was young, residing in a large country-side manor with her parents and older brother. She constantly was reminded of her heritage and upholding her family’s image, not that she cared much for that. The Callaway parents believed in self-reliance, both of them more preoccupied with their work for the Ministry or fighting between themselves. This left Annaliese and her older brother, Emery, to their own devices, rarely seeing their parents. Instead, they were raised by nannies and private tutors, only the best of the best for the Callaway children. Annaliese and her brother quickly learned how to entertain themselves from a young age, creating their own games or playing pranks on house-elves or their tutors together. The two of them were very close and although they got in their fair share of arguments, as all siblings do, they quickly made up, only having each other to rely on. As they got older, Emery grew increasingly obsessed with Quidditch and often roped Annaliese into practicing with him. Although she wasn’t as obsessive over it, Annaliese found she quite enjoyed the sport and looked forward to their afternoons of flying around their property, passing a Quaffle back and forth. Their parents also grew their expectations for their children as Annaliese and Emery grew up, accepting nothing less than exceptional in their studies and appearances. The higher standards her mother held her to, the more Annaliese lashed out, determined to test any and all limits. Because of this, Annaliese and her mother frequently got into arguments that quickly turned into screaming matches as both were too stubborn to make peace. Annaliese’s father stayed out of it most times, not home or not caring enough to intervene. Despite her turbulent relationship with her parents, Annaliese still had Emery to rely on, always going to his room after particularly nasty fights where he would do his best to cheer her up or distract her. Once he went away to Hogwarts, Annaliese had a hard time being home by herself, no longer having her older brother there with her. Fights with her parents got worse and she spent more and more time outside flying as it was one of the things that made her feel close to Emery while he was away. She also made friends with her family’s house elves and helped them in the kitchen from time to time to keep herself busy.
First Instance of Magic: Annaliese first showed signs of magic just before her 4th birthday. Emery, who was six at the time, had taken her out to do some flying practice on their toy brooms. Both of the young kids were enraptured by the idea of playing Quidditch on a professional team in the future, though Annaliese didn't fully understand what that meant at the time - she just wanted to be like her big brother. After some laps around their estate, Emery managed to convince Annaliese to let him work on his aim as a beater using rocks and the beater bat their parents had gotten him for Christmas. After a few close calls, the inevitable happened: Emery hit a well-aimed rock flying towards Annaliese who wasn't able to get out of the way quick enough. But instead of smashing into her like it was supposed to, the rock seemed to hit an invisible wall and fell to the ground, leaving Annaliese unharmed.
