Amelia Weston || First Year || Ravenclaw

|Appearance|
Amelia is small in stature, with a certain sort of daintiness about her. Her features are soft, from the roundness of her heart-shaped face to the gentle curve of her jawline. Set beneath a set of thick, glossy lashes, her eyes are big, blue, and bright - they glow with a childlike innocence. She's got what one might call a button nose, decidedly pretty and symmetrical. Her lips are small but supple, and usually adorning some sort of cherry-flavored gloss. The most prominent of Amelia's features -and arguably the most wild- is her hair; thick and wild, her red mane falls down her back in waves nearly to her waist.

|Personality|
She is, in short, a spitfire. Don't be fooled by her dainty appearance and child-like demeanor. Within her small body lays a passionate soul. The traits bound to her very core include: intelligence, spunk, determination, courageousness, and empathy. Amelia has a thirst for knowledge rivaled only by the thirst to prove herself. Although young and still exploring the possibilities of who she wants to be, Amelia is very grounded in reality and yet she views the world with a special sort of child-like wonder.

|History|
A half-blood, Amelia has lived the entirety of her life in the muggle world. When she was young, her mother [Martha Weston] died in an accident that involved unstable dark magic - too young for the whole truth, Amelia doesn't know the fine details. Raised by a single father [Walter Weston], she grew up as normal as any other child in the muggle world. She went to school, she played with her friends, she developed a love for reading and learning - and she was so surrounded by love that she never found herself wanting for more, never realized that there was anything different about her or her life.

It was sometime after her sixth birthday that Amelia's powers began to manifest, in the form of levitation. Sent to bed without supper, she crept into the kitchen and found that if she stared longingly enough at the sweets on the counter, they would magically find their way to her. When her father realized that Amelia was going to be a witch like her mother, he divulged the truth of her heritage. At six years old Amelia didn't grasp the reality of the wizarding world. As she grew and learned more about herself, her mother's bloodline, and the world from which she'd been torn, the young girl realized that there was a whole world of possibilities waiting for her. The more she learned of the world she'd never gotten a chance to know, the less she felt like she belonged in the muggle realm, which had always been her home. When her acceptance letter to Hogwarts came, Amelia and her father were both thrilled and began planning for the next chapter in the little girl's life.

At Hogwarts, Amelia was sorted into Ravenclaw - and was delighted to learn that it had been her mother's house before her.
