AJ loves doing their own nails and is very good at creating all kinds of crazy patterns as well as having fake long nails from time to time. Finally, AJ likes to wear either black leather or dark blue jean jackets and high-heeled shoes or boots.
Mentalities/Personality
AJ was born with some mental health issues such as autism and ad/hd, which they didn't get diagnosed with until the age of eight, when AJ started to present the inability to socialize with others properly, and they could never sit still in class or pay attention long enough. AJ was also very sensitive. They didn't like loud noises, rough touches, or flashing and bright lights. However, while in Muggle school, AJ was exceptionally smart as top of their class besides the whole behavioral issue aspect. AJ also started to develop a gender non-conforming lifestyle at the age of ten when they realized that they didn't want to conform to society's norms of male and female. Instead, AJ decided to go by as non-binary and with the pronouns, they/them. Also, at the age of ten, AJ started to exhibit signs of generalized anxiety disorder when they were always ramped up about things that they couldn't control or not getting their way. AJ also was hyper-vigilant and was always anxious that something bad was about to go down. This was a side effect of kids not always being the nicest to them in school. But apart from all the mental issues, AJ is a highly smart, curious, creative, wise, studious, and empathetic person. They care deeply about the feelings of others despite not always understanding and being able to read other people's emotions. AJ loves arts and crafts, rollerblading, and dance, and also loves taking care of animals. AJ has a strong belief in spirits and spirit animals. At the age of eleven, right before leaving for Hogwarts, AJ also realized that they are lesbian, since they are always drawn to girls and even have a crush on the most popular girl in their Muggle fifth grade class. Alongside that, AJ is demisexual and demiromantic, since they must have a deep emotional connection before feeling a sexual or romantic attraction to anybody. They found this out when they realized that they only liked the popular girl after growing emotionally close with her.
History/Background
AJ Alexia Adams was born with the name Tara and was adopted in Wales at the age of one by two Muggle parents, Lassie Caitlin Adams and Suvo Jon Adams, who had no clue that their child would grow up to be magical. AJ, after all, was born to two Muggle parents who couldn't take care of them due to their own mental health issues and personal life problems. These Muggle birthparents were way too young, seventeen and eighteen years old in fact, and they were very close with AJ's adopted parents. AJ's adopted mother was best friends with their birthmother's sister. AJ was very loved from the moment they came home. and throughout growing up, throughout all of their ups and downs, AJ's parents never stopped loving them and trying to get them the proper help for their issues. The problem came to when it was time for school. Of course, being adopted and raised by two Mugge parents, AJ went to a Muggle elementary school. Here, they sadly had no friends since everyone saw them as the inadequate, weird kid who couldn't understand social cues and emotions very well. Not that AJ hadn't tried plenty of times already. So, AJ used arts and crafts, rollerblading, dance, taking care of animals, and communing with spirits and spirit animals to get through the rough patches in their childhood. AJ ended up becoming the top of their class at the elementary school moving up ceremony, where it was also revealed that they created an art masterpiece, something out of this world for a mere eleven-year-old. On AJ's eleventh birthday, the letter was delivered by a professor themself stating that AJ was magical and that they were going to Hogwarts. AJ was overjoyed and hoped that this was their chance to finally fit in somewhere. They went shopping in Diagon Alley, and AJ's parents were very supportive of the whole process. AJ's dad, whom they were closest to, even offered to spend the summer looking over AJ's schoolbooks with them. That turned out to be very fun. And when it came time for AJ to finally board the Hogwarts Express train, they tearfully waved goodbye to their parents and ran off to find a quiet compartment to read a book in all the way to a brand new life at Hogwarts.
First Instance of Magic
AJ's first instance of magic happened when they were eight years of age. AJ was curious and wanted to prove that they were just as awesome as the other kids in their grade. Therefore, during a game of truth or dare at a sleepover at one of their classmate's houses, AJ agreed to climb to the middle of the tallest ranch outside. Of course, AJ was super nervous. They had no clue what they were doing. But they wanted to fit in so badly that they pressured themself into climbing that tree. Things actually were going great for AJ. They managed to climb to the middle of the tree with their long legs and flexible, light body without issue. But then came the part of coming down from the tree. AJ had only been thinking about going up the tree, but never about what would happen with coming down from the tree. AJ looked down at the ground for the first time of being up in the tree, and that's when their fear of heights kicked in. AJ fainted and fell off of the tree branch that they were holding onto. The kids screamed as AJ plummeted towards the ground, but then a miracle seemed to happen. Just as the adults came out of the house to inspect the ruckus and see AJ fall down to the ground, AJ managed to strangely and surprisingly hit the ground on their feet without a single broken bone or scratch of mark. It was like an angel from God had carried AJ down to the earth and planted them upright so that nothing happened to them. Of course, that wasn't it at all. That was actually AJ's first time of accidentally causing a magical event to happen, because of themself of course.
Werewolf Look
As a werewolf, AJ is about medium-sized with small paws. They have black claws and bluish-black hair that matches their human hair. They also have yellow bangs like as when they are human and a yellow belly. Finally, they have brown eyes, since their eyes are brown as a human.

AJ Adams § First Year § Ravenclaw
Becoming a Werewolf
A week before school started, AJ didn't think before doing and decided to go to the park near their house on their own after dark. Due to having autism, AJ didn't always make the best of choices. Sometimes, they would do things without thinking, and they acted on impulse this night, wanting so badly to play on the swings in the dark, where it was finally cool and not super hot from tbe sunlight. It was a bad night to go though. AJ spent the time, playing on the slides at first and then played on the monkey bars, which they absolutely loved. Finally, they decided to relax on the swing and play on their phone. Being a Muggleborn, they were used to having Muggle things such as phones, and they were not at Hogwarts yet where phones didn't work. It was actually quite revitalizing for AJ to be in the park after dark all by themself. But that night, a werewolf who had not forgotten to take their Wolfsbane Potion for the past week and had decided to use the park to wolf out for this full moon since they were a teenage werewolf who had previously been bitten the last full moon and had no clue of what to do or where to go. This teenager happened to live in the same neighborhood as AJ and had not expected anyone to be in the park after hours since normally the park was closed to everyone then. AJ, not thinking first, managed to escape their house and climb over the gate to play on the playground. AJ unfortunately was oblivious to another person trespassing in the park, since the wolf was on the other side of the park. They thought they heard something, but they couldn't see anything in the distance and decided to dismiss the noise. Suddenly, AJ heard a howl and shined a light from their phone in the direction of the noise. They gasped to see a human changing into something that seemed so monstrous and scary. AJ got off the swing and crouched back into the tree line behind to try to hide as they watched in horror as the transformation was completed. But that wasn't the end of it. The werewolf had a much sharper sense of smell and hearing now that they were in their wolf form. They could hear AJ creaking on the falling sticks and twigs within the tree line and came running toward the noises that AJ was making with their feet, no matter how quiet AJ tried to be. AJ suddenly told themselves to forget it and they took off, running all over the place to try to avoid the werewolf. Unfortunately, they didn't get far before they turned around and ran right into the werewolf's path. AJ screamed as they were knocked on the ground and pressed under the werewolf's paw. The werewolf bit right into their forearm, a nice, big, nasty bite. AJ howled until a Werewolf Capture Unit came, which had been alerted by the werewolf's parents, who gave an idea as to where he had gone. Upon seeing that AJ was bit, the Werewolf Capture Unit asked AJ for her parents' information so they could contact their parents. After that, they questioned AJ as to why they were out after dark in a park alone without any parent or guardian at so late at night. AJ told them that they just wanted to spend some time alone in the park after dark when it was much cooler and the heat didn't make the playground sting to play on. This conversation happened as they were transported to St. Mungo's Hospital to be checked out for that bite. Turned out, things were a lot worse for AJ than expected. Of course, this was also all new for AJ's parents, as they were Muggles. They didn't know what to expect, and the information they were about to be given would change all of their lives forever. Unfortunately, the healers at AJ would have no remedy for their fate. From now on, at each full moon, AJ would be doomed to turn into a werewolf. What that werewolf would look like was yet to be determined, but the bite had ensured that they were now a lycanthrope. The healers at St. Mungo's only had one piece of advice, actually two pieces. It was to stay away from AJ when they transformed at each full moon, for AJ would go insane and wild, or for AJ to find someway to get a hold of Wolfsbane Potion for every day for a week before each full moon, so that AJ would at least remain sane when they turned into a werewolf. AJ spent the next week at St. Mungo's, letting their arm heal with the help and practices of the healers. They also got the chance to learn about lycanthropy and the effects of Wolfsbane Potions and what they should do at each full moon. That way, they would be prepared. And AJ's parents vowed to never let AJ go somewhere alone again.
