Basic Information
Full name: Andromeda Cassiopeia Black
Nicknames: Meddy, Andy
Age/Year: 14, 3rd year
Gender: female
Birthdate:September 23rd
Bloodline: Pureblood, of the noble house of Black
House: Ravenclaw
Appearance
Height: She's a girl of a normal height--standing at around 5' 4"
Weight/Body Type: She's on the smaller side of average for a girl, probably weighting something close to 112. She's lean, but not in an athletic way.
Hair: Very dark brown--so dark that most people call it Black.
Eyes:
Andy has brown eyes--another factor of her appearance that adds to the fact that she dithers in comparision to her younger siter. No matter their color, they house all her feelings and emotion; they are ultimitely sincere and portray her mood.
General Description:
Andromeda is nowhere near as beautiful as her younger sister, Narcissa. Her face is not one etched with the natural beauty of so many others--or at least she doesn't think so. All in all, she is completely average. Her hair falls just below her shoulders and is extremely dark brown (so dark it is often called black) and slightly wavy. Sometimes, with a quick wave of her wand, she'll straighten it, but usually, she isn't one for vanity. Andie has brown eyes--another trait that adds to the fact that she fizzles in comparison to her younger sister. No matter their color, they house all her feelings and emotion; they are ultimately sincere and portray her mood.
Body wise, Andromeda has never worried about weight or figure. At home, there was always the constant approval of being lithe and pretty. It seems she meets the standards set by her mother--though just barely. She is a girl who stands on the shorter side of average (about 5'4") and weighs a normal, but healthy weight for a girl her age. (about 115 llbs.) The proportions of her body are good, save for minor defects, such as slightly lanky arms and feet that are just larger than average.
It's more because of the confident way she holds herself that she is considered pretty or good looking. She is adept at making friends, and is comfortable in her own skin. This makes for an attractive person. She is often found smiling, (especially in good company) and has dimples that give her a very slightly childish air.
When not wearing school robes, Meddy will often resort to wearing slightly boyish clothing. (Unless persuaded otherwise by her sisters or forced by her mother.) Her outfits are usually simple, consisting of worn blazers over simple collared shirts or vests. Her clothing of choice has a simple, yet sophisticated appeal to it, the patterns worn usually being plaids or argyles. Furthermore, she tries to stay away from overly bright colors. While she doesn't avoid color altogether, she normally chooses to wear more muted colors and neutral tones: steel blue, gray, brown, muted greens. The Slytherin chooses to remain natural looking--rarely wearing makeup or anything similar.

General Description:
Defiant: Andromeda is a girl that doesn't conform simply becasase people want her too. In all of her endeavors she is completely genuine--her motives should never be questioned. She doesn't want to conform to the 'pure blood' ideal, but she also does not want to anger or betray her family. She is loyal to her family and would never want to do anything to break ties with them. Lastly, she hates fake and shallow people--those including her family (sometimes) and people who conform to stero types because they want to fit in. She tries her hardest to be an individual within the Black family while still maintaining acceptance.
Witty After so many years of reading Shakespeare, it was natural that Andy fell into the cycle of abusing wit and sarcasm. More than often, her flirting methods consist of a barrage or insults and witty remarks. If a guy doesn't reply with the same enthusiasm and intelligence, it's simple--he's not worth her time. No matter her high standards, she is still just a girl who wants to uncover the mystery of love--just like everyone else.
True Romantic After so many years of reading Shakespeare, it was natural that Andie fell into the cycle of abusing wit and sarcasm. Quite often, her flirting methods consist of a onslaught of insults and witty remarks. If a boy doesn't reply with the same enthusiasm and intelligence, it's simple--he's not worth her time. No matter how high her standards, she is still just a girl who wants to uncover the mystery of love--just like everyone else. But one can't forget that she is an intelligent girl--she doesn't date on a whim or settle for less than the best simply out of longing. She'll wait as long as possible for Mr. Right to come along and sweep her off her feet.
Self Reliant: Andromeda does not like talking to people about her problems. She hates feeling indebted to them and would prefer simply being regarded as a strong willed, independent female. It's not that she likes being alone, but that she doesn't like revealing her emotional turmoil (her weakness) to other people. By being independent, she depends on herself, and herself alone. She can take care of herself, and rarely let's people see through to her insecurities.
Cunning Wit Andy is obviously fairly intelligent. Unlike Ravenclaw’s and the stereotypical A-type personality, her intelligent is demonstrated mostly by word of mouth in a more subtle way than through grades. Quite honestly, schoolwork is easy for her, but she doesn't put her full effort in. She can get by with grades of 'acceptable' and 'exceeds expectations' without a care in the world. 'Outstanding' grades however, are not out of reach for her--if she wanted to apply herself. She is good at hiding truth, and is good at hiding her true feelings.
Background/History
Father/Occupation: Cygnus Black
Mother/Occupation: Druella Black (nee: Rosier)
Hometown: London: number 12 Grimmauld place--the Black family estate.
Siblings: Narcissa Black (11) and Bellatrix Black (17) She's the middle child. =]
Pets: A tabby cat named Perseus
General Description:
Andromeda Cassiopeia Black was born as the second child to Cygnus and Druella Black--an illustirous pure blood family on September the 23rd. As a member of the Black family, she was provided with oppourtunities as well as a comfortable lifestyle. Her life was never filled with wants and unattainable desires--anything she wanted, she was able to have. Andy wasn't a girl to abuse this however, but no matter lived a life much more privelidged than the rest of her peers.
As a child, Andy was constantly forced into the middle of her sisters--family portraits and the like were things that she never enjoyed, never having been one to want to push around her lineage and he relation to an esteemed wizarding family. She grew quite attached to her mother and was constantly fighting with her sisters for the attention of her parents. No matter how harsh her parents could be regarding blood purity, she couldn't help but want their acceptance and love, like any other sane person.
Upon attending Hogwarts, she was sorted into Ravenclaw. it was a big shock, and strike number one against her in regards to acceptance from her parents. It was an unspoken rule, that it was acceptable only to be placed in Slytherin house. She has always been a good daughter however, so her parents were annoyed, but not turned against her. Ever since this occurence, Meddy has been trying to win them back, trying forevermore to prove her worth as a Black.
She was always close to her siblings and her cousins (Sirius and Regulus Black), however she never felt she quite fit with them. With an exception of Sirius, her family members were quite intent on flaunting their pure blood status and their Slytherin homeage. She loved and was loved by her sibling in return, but she was never able to fully relate to them in their vain endeavors.
Roleplay Sample:
Andromeda watched as the drops of water rolled down the windowpane. It was a gloomy day--full of schoolwork, rain and high tempers. Exmas were approaching, but Meddy had no real reason to study; she never had any real reason to study. Her grades were always aceptable to her parents and she attained those grades with little effort. She had taken on a passive view on schoolwork.
And so she sat in the Ravenclaw common room, watching the fat drops of rain roll down because she had nothing else to be doing. She was pretending to study, a textbook open in front of her, with scattered notes on parchment littering the table. The book droned on and on; not to mention that the material was utterly useless to her.
The Ravenclaw noted the other students that were littered about the room--all of them were clearly intent on memorizing every free fact that there was. It was strange, Andy thought, how she had been sorted into this house. She knew she didn't fit in Slytherin, like her siblings, but she didn't feel like she belonged her either. Everyone in this house was intelligent--yes, so was she, but most of their lives seemed to revolve around achievements in grades and such.
Andromeda was perfectly content to sit there, and watch people. The fire was crackling the hearth, emitting small sparks every now and then--it had been a bloody brilliant spell, to keep the fire constantly burning. It was so calm, quiet. For some reason, with the upcoming exams, the common room had been absent of it's normal steady buzz of gossip and conversation.
it's a short rp sample, but UGH. I'm tired of writing. I've never played Andromeda, so I don't have other profiles of her lyring around anywhere. If you want more, just ask.
