Name: Anastasia (Ana) Jade
Age: 36
Birthdate/place: 21/6/2001 Her family's holdings in the Scottish Highlands
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Family: Her daughter, Esmerelda, is the only surviving family member Anastasia has left. She is a Pureblooded witch. Her maiden name was Anastasia Sapphire, her parents were Diana Sapphire and Dracin Sapphire.
Her parents were kind to her, but they never had another child, leaving her to play alone in her rooms while they went to work at the Ministry of Magic after her seventh birthday. Before that, her mother stayed home to care for her and the house.
Ana had no cousins that she knew of, but her family are very distantly related to the Weasleys (they shared a cousin about a century and a half ago) and always enjoyed visiting them when she had the chance.
Appearance:
Hair: Black and long, reaching past her knees.
Eyes: Blue
Build/height- Very tall for a woman, and while she has curves, she is also very willowy. Anastasia is incredibly graceful, just like her Animagus form.
General Description- Ana is usually found wearing a long, flowing skirt with a matching gypsy style blouse. She has gold hoops in her ears that she never takes out and her wedding ring on her left hand.
In her Animagus form, she's a snow leopard! She has markings on the back of her head that run down her back, much like her hair would, and two black spots on the insides of her ears where her gold hoops go in her human form.
Possessions- Her gold hoops and her wand. Anastasia has been hiding in her Animagus form for the past six years, so other than her clothes, they are the only things that she has.
Personality:
Temperment/Mental Attributes- Ana is incredibly protective of her daughter, but is torn over whether or not to reveal herself. Since the loss of her husband, she has been unable to speak, using her wand instead to write what she wants to say on a piece of paper that she keeps with her.
Before losing Julian, Ana was very soft-spoken, but always willing to laugh when the occasion called for it. She loved her husband more than life itself, and trusted him with everything she was. Losing him almost destroyed her, however, and in a way, her Animagus form was as much to protect herself as it was Esme.
In her cat form, she didn't have to think as much about what had happened, and has been using it to gradually recover from the loss.
Ana loves to make things, and is a skilled cross stitcher, crotcheter and artist. She prefers to use watercolours whenever possible over anything else, however.
Alliance- Good Gal
Alignment- Neutral Good
Employment:
-Adults-
Former House- Ravenclaw
Job- N/A Ana is currently unemployed, and before her current situation, was a house wife that stayed home.
Employer- N/A
OWLs/NEWTs- Ana went for all the OWLs and NEWTs that she could, and despite the fact that she was a housewife, she put those qualifications to good use. She has (I will only name them once, please assume she has them in both) Herbology, Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. However, she always hated History of Magic, and it was the only class that she willingly fell asleep in the instant that she sat down.
Another class that she disliked was Astronomy. In Ana's opinion, you would have to be crazy to willingly be awake at midnight or any other time of the night.
Other:
Magical Skills- Anastasia is a snow leopard Animagus. She is also an accomplished Potions maker.
Patronus- N/A right now. She might learn it at some point, and if she does, like her daughter, she will have a snow leopard Patronus.
Wand- 15 inches, ebony, with a phoenix feather core, good for Transfigurations.
Goals/Aspirations- To keep her daughter safe, no matter what happens!
Other Information: May be willing to move on from her husband and start a new relationship, but the man who does this will have a lot of work ahead of him-simply getting her away from Esme will be difficult.
Ana, like her daughter, can dance ballet, but where Esme plays the flute and piano, Ana plays the violin and harp. She enjoys cooking and sewing, in particular cross stitch, and the house in the Scottish Highlands that she was born in is filled with countless pieces of her work.
History-
Ana was born into a wealthy Pureblood family, the Sapphires, and quickly displayed an aptitude for everything magical at a young age. Her parents were kind, but after she turned seven they were often absent, leaving her alone in the house during the day. This taught Ana to be completely independent, and she stayed that way until she joined Hogwarts.
It was at the Sorting Feast that Ana met her future husband, Julian Jade, another Pureblooded wizard who at first she disliked, as she thought he was really conceited and full of himself. After a while, however, they became good friends, and in their sixth year he asked her to be his girlfriend.
Having had a crush on him for the past year, she agreed, and they soon became a regular sight around the school together. It was on her 18th birthday that he proposed to her, in front of everyone in Ravenclaw, and they all cheered when she said yes.
When they left the school, they got married, and travelled around the world together. It was during this time that word reached them of the death of their parents-apparently, they had come together for a meeting in Diagon Alley, only to have some Death Eaters still on the run from the Ministry-even all these years later-kill them in an attack on Diagon Alley before they were finally taken down by Aurors.
Hearing this, Julian withdrew a little from Ana, who noticed his behaviour immediately. He refused to tell her what was wrong, however, and instead suggested that they return to her family's home in Scotland.This was supported by the fact that she was about to have their first child, Esmerelda. While Ana loved having a daughter, and doted on her day and night, she knew that something was still going on with Julian, as he would often disappear for days at a time and refuse to tell her what was going on.
When Esmerelda was six, Ana and Julian hired a governess for her, a woman called Mrs Winters, and then went to Diagon Alley to get supplies for the next year. While they were there, they were attacked by a group of masked men. Julian was killed and Ana only escaped because she hid from them before they could see her.
Realizing that Esmerelda's life was also in danger, she returned to their home in Scotland that same night, and shifted into her snow leopard after telling Mrs Winters what had happened and her plan to keep Esmerelda safe. Mrs Winters cast an Illusion charm on her snow leopard form, one that made her look like a cub instead of an adult, and then 'gave' her to Esmerelda.
Ana has been protecting her daughter ever since, only shifting back into her human form when she knows that there is no chance of anyone seeing her. On those rare occasions that she does shift back, it's because she needs to do something in her human form, such as interrogate others about the whereabouts of her husband's murderers. When she does so, she wears a white mask to hide her identity, another measure to ensure her daughter's safety.
If she ever does manage to find who killed him, she would immediately reveal herself to Esme, and at least try to rebuild the family that was torn apart so harshly all those years before.
