Family: Aster’s mother is a rich widow. She conceived Aster while courting a muggle lawyer. She married a business associate of her father’s (at her father’s suggestion), in an attempt to pass the pregnancy off as legitimate (and as his), but when he discovered her pregnancy, she was too far along to convince him the baby was his. He grew incredibly angry, with Aster’s mother, and Aster’s grandfather. He challenged the grandfather to a fight, during which he was killed. He had confided his troubles to his brother, who spread it around viciously after his death. Aster’s mother inherited his property and finance. She has never remarried and Aster has no siblings. She has one estranged aunt. She doesn’t know is she has cousins or an uncle, but she assumes so and often wonders about them.
Appearance: Aster is tall and thin with very white skin. She has brown eyes and blonde hair, which she dyes black. It is long and dead straight. She wears black robes with green edging. She avoids muggle areas and does not wear muggle clothing. For formal dinners and balls she wears dress robes in dark green. If pressed, she will wear other colours, but her mother has to bully her into it. She is quite petite in frame. Her wand arm is her right.
History: Aster was born to a single-parent household. Her grandfather supervised and acted as chaperone for her widowed mother a lot of the time. He had his own home to manage but he felt the need to keep a closer eye on Aster’s mother. Aster grew up with little contact with her mother. She was cared by a nursemaid, and later a governess. She ate her meals with the Upper Servants until she was nine. After that, she was made to eat lunch, afternoon tea and dinner with her mother. Her mother used the time to train her in etiquette and dinner manners, in preparation for Hogwarts. In her last year at home, she spent less time with the governess to make room for lessons on fashion, cosmetics and social skills with her mother. Aster was always given the distinct impression that her mother cared too much about what people thought of her daughter, and didn’t really actually care about Aster. Aster is bitter about this, since her mother’s reputation is nothing to write home about. Aster found out she was a bastard at the age of three, when the nursemaid let it slip. She was fired without references and another hired. Aster didn’t fully grasp the severity of her situation until she attended Hogwarts. A new friend during their First Year let Aster’s family history out and Aster endured ostracization and bullying until well into the Fifth Year. By then, everyone was so overwhelmed with OWLs that she was mostly left alone. The odd unkind retort still occurs though.
Personality: Aster is a vicious, spiteful person. She is bitter and jealous. She values power, determination and status.
Other: Slytherin Sixth Year.
Sample Roleplay Post: Aster turned left. She knew the classroom was around here somewhere. If she was late she'd demand to be treated as innocent. It was hardly her fault if the staircases moved, was it? Getting crosser, Aster tried another left. A shimmering figure hung in the middle of the hallway, its head on one side at a stomach-churning angle. Aster humphed. She wasn't like those silly girls with squeamish stomachs and hysterical voices. A headless ghost having a nap didn't bother her in the slightest. Aster walked straight through him and round the corner. Her classroom was two doors down. She was already in her seat when the Professor arrived.
