CONTENTS





Disclaimer: I am aware that Anja and her family have some views which I, as the writer, do not share. They are all part of her character development, and should you have a specific problem, please do not hesitate to send me an owl. If your character and Anja intend on doing a role-play, please ask about anything you'd like clarified -- for example, her attitude to muggle-borns or many purebloods (or even her thought process and analytical habits). Thank you!

---
Anja can seem quite bubbly and welcoming, but that's her game, and really she's just making you feel comfortable so that she can pull the rug from under you later. She's very ambitious, and she values savvy people who judge character well and have a sense for self-presevation. She's most likely to become friends with people like that, and when she's friends with you, she'll be extremely loyal and stand up for you.
---She's very hostile, especially to strangers, because she's ashamed of her family's legacy and afraid that people might find out. Because of this, she keeps people away and when they do come near, she pushes them away again by pretending to be proud of her reputation. Despite this, she wants to be better and is very open-minded for a pure-blood. Anja enjoys scheming and setting pranks. Because she's very foxy and sly, she has never got caught, so she can be quite arrogant and prideful at times.

---Anja has always taken after her mother, with her eyes the only thing her father gifted to her. Despite this, she has enjoys looking like her mother, as it allows her to be recognised less easily.
---Her eyes are her most recognisable feature. They are large, grey, and she often uses eyeliner to make them stand out even more. She curls her hair sometimes, but it mostly hangs in natural waves. Her style is dark academia, and she likes how it looks on her slim, but not willowy, frame. She is surprisingly strong and muscly, but you wouldn't know that from looking at her. Her skin is usually pale, but in the summers it gets a light tan from taking long walks in the Cotswolds. She has naturally rosy, full lips, and a well defined nose. She is 4'9', quite tall for twelve, but she takes after her mother in that respect.
Image

---Anja
---The name Anja is a girl's name of German and Russian origin meaning 'grace', 'gracious' and 'favoured'. It is one of the most exotic of several versions of Ann/Anna, including Anya and Annika. Anja is heard in several European cultures, including Germany, Holland, and the Scandinavian countries--and it has a variety of pronunciations, although Anja pronounces the 'j' as a 'y' as in Anya.
---Zalika
---The name Zalika is a girl's name of Arabic origin meaning 'wellborn', from 'Zuleika', a girl's name of Arabic origin meaning 'fair'. According to medieval legend, Zuleika was the beautiful and passionate wife of Potiphar, a dignitary in the court of the Egyptian Pharaoh to whom Joseph was sold; Zuleika and Potiphar were the parents of Ephraim. She was celebrated in several notable poems.
---Murtaja
---'Murtaja' quite literally means 'breaker' in Finnish. It came from Anja's ancestor, Mikal Wölf, who was famed for destroying families' homes and lives. His legacy is only carried on in Anja's family by the name 'Murtaja', a nickname that stuck.

Chestnut Wood, 30.7 cm


Chestnut wood is a complex wood. It is impressionable, and so when given to a master, it will hold itself to the master’s personality and mannerisms. This means that it will only work well for another if it is won, and even then, it will be mismatched. When a chestnut wood wand contains a dragon heartstring core, the master is likely to value possessions and appearance more than deeper truth. Thus, it is often paired with unicorn hair, and owners of this wand often have a strong sense of justice.
Unicorn Hair Core------
Why a unicorn hair wand chose Anja has always been a mystery to her. A unicorn hair core often attaches itself to a stable, loyal wizard, and are one of the hardest cores to turn to the Dark Arts. Anja shares none of these qualities. However, a wand with a unicorn hair core is often very stubborn and is hard to attach to a new master. One thing about her wand that Anja hates the most is that it does not produce very powerful magic, so she has to try very hard to succeed.

BEFORE HOGWARTS

Reducio
Anja comes from a long line of pure-bloods, all Slytherins. Her father was schooled by her grandparents into believing that pure blood is far superior to all other bloods. He attempted to school Anja in this ideology, but Anja did not enjoy it, so when he thought she was researching, she had actually been looking at Muggle defensive techniques. Anja continued to put up a facade around family, but she enjoyed going out into the woods around her home with a book to get away from the madness and let her guard drop for a few minutes. Despite her personality, she continued to stay solid to her own beliefs.

Anja's childhood was mostly happy, notwithstanding her father and grandparents. She enjoyed visits to her cousin, Lila, the only family she knew on her mother's side. She rarely went down to the Muggle town near their estate, but did like the presents her mother would sometimes bring. Because of her alienation, one thing Anja knows very little about is the Muggle world, so she looks forward to Muggle Studies at Hogwarts. She enjoys reading, writing and watching Quidditch.

Her family is from Finland, but they moved here when she was born so that she could go to Hogwarts. However, her grandparents had been brought up in the time when Pure-Bloods were considered, in some circles, far superior to Half-Bloods and Muggle-Borns. Having had this philosophy drilled into their heads from an extraordinarily young age, they went to fight for a Purist ideal. They are both now in Nurmengard, where Anja hopes they shall stay. She was born on the thirteenth of November 2008, to Alvar Murtaja and Zalika Murtaja (nee. Kirous). It is said that the rain poured through the roof when she was born, and her mother enjoys telling that story at soirées and dinners.

Her childhood is perhaps the main reason her personality is what it is, and she doesn't regret that. Her personality is what gave her the drive to continue believing in what she thought was right and not give up.

Her first known instance of magic was when she, at three years old, brought down the crystal chandelier in the drawing room of her Oxfordshire estate. Anja's grandparents had come to visit, and she had accidentally told them of her Half-Blood cousin, Lila. They had scoffed and asked why she would associate with such types. This clearly threw her into a tantrum, and the chandelier crashed down near the very place they sat. Of course, they had not been seriously harmed, but the glass had scratched them, and she remembers feeling great triumph. Every time her grandparents would visit, she reinforced her mind and became the model Pure-Blood heir.

The Murtaja Estates are a large source of pride for Anja. They are situated all over Europe, and are all hidden by charms that repel both Muggles and 'unworthy' wizards alike.
Image

BRISEADH A 'CHAISTEIL

Briseadh a ’Chaisteil is Anja's favourite. She likes the medieval architecture and the run down-ness of the castle. Of course, her parents don't like her staying there, but it is where her family resides when visiting Hogwarts. She tries to go there as often as possible and enjoy the wide, open Scottish scenery.
Image

LINNANMURTAJA

Linnanmurtaja, the family castle, in Finland, is where Anja was born, and where she would continue to live had she not wanted to go to Hogwarts. If she had stayed in Linnanmurtaja, she would have gone to Durmstrang. She is glad she moved to England, as if she had been accepted to Durmstrang, she would have found it so much harder to keep to her own anti-blood-purity philosophy. Despite having moved out, the castle still buzzes with life, filled with countless house-elves and human servants.

Linnanmurtaja has provided a hiding place for both sides during times of conflict, with its countless cellars and dungeons.
Image

HERRASKARTANO MURTAJA

Surrounded by woods and large gardens, this is where Anja lives. It is located near Wytham Woods in Oxfordshire, and the actual estate grounds span acres of forest. Anja enjoys taking walks in the surrounding forests. She likes the grandeur of the house. It holds good and bad memories, but it's not as 'lived in' as the other estates and feels rather clinical at times.
AN: More estates to be added later.
