please, I know that we're different
school»» Hogwarts
house»» Slytherin
patronus»» When she finally out did her older sister Daphne in wizard chess. It represents the moment she finally broke out of her big sister's shadow and became her own person.
boggart»» Kelpies. From a young age, Astoria had nightmares that centered around the creatures. The most common involved her being dragged underwater, never to be seen again.
mirror of erised»» Success
amortentia»» Cherry blossoms, champagne and chocolate
discovering magic»» Of course, Astoria knew from birth that she was a witch, there was never a question about that. And with the help of good breeding, she turned out to be an early bloomer. Her magic first manifested at the age of six, during a petty argument with her sister. The two girls were disputing over Astoria's missing doll. She insisted Daphne had taken it, and when the other girl fought back, Tori became angry. As her sister parted her lips to speak once more, Astoria quickly cut her off, ordering her not to talk. Initially, she'd thought Daphne was pulling her leg, and pretending not to be able to talk. However, as it turned out Astoria had glued her tongue to the roof of her mouth.

we're not that different after all
eyes»» Astoria's eyes are large, and often referred to as "doe eyes". They're a shade of sea-glass green, which hardens and becomes darker when she's angered. Her eyes are very expressive, and even when the rest of her expression is stony, you can always tell her true feelings through the look in her eyes. Astoria's eyes are framed with a fringe of long, dark lashes, which add to her look of innocence
body type»» Tori has a rather willowy build. She's on the tall side, for her age, and is rather slender. Her body is lean, and she carries the majority of her height in her legs.
distinguishing features»» One of the more noticable marks you would find on Astoria, is the oddly shaped birth mark located on her lower back. The mark is vaguely shaped like a flower. Though that is up for interpretation, once it was even said to look like the grim by an overly-enthusiastic divination professor. Also, there is a crescent shaped scar located near her collarbone. This odd scar was gained from a spill she took at a young age. She always put the blame of her sister.

secrets»» Has a crush on Draco Malfoy, very self-concious, and scared of what other people think
five words»»
[li] VAIN "From a very young age, Astoria was always told how beautiful she was. Eventually she figured that if so many people thought it, it must be true. She prides herself on her appearance above all.
[/li][li] WITTY "With jealousy comes insults, and Tori has learned to handle them well. She has somewhat of a silver-tongue and can come up with interesting comebacks off the top of her head."
[/li][li] ELEGANT "There's something to be said for good breeding. Any child from an upstanding pureblood family would know that. Etiquette is an art form."
[/li][li] MANIPULATIVE "Being the youngest child, Astoria quickly learned how to turn the tables in her favor. It helps to look like an innocent little doll, but Tori has the chops to back it up. She can have people twisted around her finger within moments."
[/li][li] ROMANTIC "Astoria loves fairytales. She always invisioned herself as the damsel in distress, and got all of these silly romantic notions in her head about love."
full personality»» Astoria likes to win, not matter what the prize or cause. One could say it all began with a bit of sibling rivalry growing up. However it quickly progressed to the point where Tori is the ultimate "sore loser". As a result, she achieves fairly high grades, and is quite a skilled quidditch player. On the other side of things, Astoria's also never met a guy she couldn't get. Perhaps that's why she's been so intrigued by a certain Draco Malfoy. He's older, suave, and the King of Slytherin. Not to mention there were loads of other girls thinking the same thing. But, what Astoria wants, she will eventually get. case closed
Another word used to describe Astoria Greengrass is flirty. Sure, it's not exactly the term she'd stick on herself. But she's learned not to fight it. Of course, she only sticks to flirting with boys she deems "worthy". If there's another definite fact about Astoria, it's that you'd never see her cuddled up with a mudblood. What disgrace would that bring to her family? She's even been known to bat her eyes at your occasional Gryffindor, though those cases are few and far between.
Others would surely call Tori bitchy, though they are just not accoustomed to her kind of wit and humour. If someone challenges her she'll fight back. And if she's backed into a corner, there's no doubt she'll come out swinging. If someone gets in her way - be it a sister, or an older student - she will not hesitate to put them in their place. So, if that causes her o fall under the label of "bitchy"... then she is more than ready to accept that.[/size][/li][/ul]

Seemingly out of nowhere, something clicked in Evie's brain, blasting her back to reality. For a moment she reamined perfectly still, unsure about what had just occured. The fact that she was holding onto Brendon didn't exactly shock her, he was her friend, afterall. But, hadn't Shaun been here a minute ago? Suddenly, everything hit Evelyn's brain like a rogue wrecking ball. Her brown eyes grew wide as saucers, as she gently pushed away from Brendon's grasp. Feeling the odd prickling of tears forming in her eyes, Evie glanced fleetingly from Riley, to Brendon, to her wand still in her hand, then finally to the door. "No..." She breathed, the first tears spilling out from her horrified eyes. Not Shaun.
A surge of despair and adrenaline hit Evie, as she found herself bending over and removing her high heeled shoes. A slight tremor of a sob rocked her slender body, as she looked once more at Riley "F-finite." She stammered, returning her wand to it's holster. Tears were now spilling liberally down her porcelain cheeks, and her hands were shaking violently.
The brightest part of her life had suddenly been ripped away, due to something she had no control over. She knew exactly what Shaun was thinking, and what would happen if she couldn't get to him soon. Evelyn felt like she'd never see the sun again, as if she was forever doomed to the darkness that was now completely consuming her. Shaun was a part of her, now. And she doubted she could survive the rest of the night without him, let alone the rest of her miserable life. There was a strange emptiness in this moment. Her heart had torn in two the second she was sure he'd left, and it'd gotten to the point now, where she wasn't sure if she had a heart anymore at all. She'd given her heart to Shaun ages ago, and he'd just taken it and walked out the door.
Looking once more between Riley and Brendon, Evelyn shook her head "You can have him." Her voice unusually quiet, and dripping in apparent misery. And, with that Evie took her expensive Italian heels in her hands, and set off weaving quickly through the crowd. Her happily ever after was gone, but she wasn't about to start kissing frogs again just yet.
