( PERSONALITY ) : Aurora Sinistra had always been kind of different from the rest of her family. Even when she was younger she stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest of her quiet, respectful family. She was clumsy and loud and always talking back. It got her in quite a lot of trouble when she was younger, so when she went off to Hogwarts it came as a surprise that she was sorted into Ravenclaw. Perhaps her parent’s intelligence and drive had pushed her to choose Ravenclaw over another possible house she could have been placed in, but she quickly fell in love with her house and being surrounded by knowledge and intelligence. The other thing you should know about Aurora being in Ravenclaw is the fact that they have to solve a riddle to get into their common room every day, which is proof that, eventually, Aurora will solve any problem that’s put in front of her.

She’s judgmental in the sense that she either likes something or she doesn’t, and she decides right away, Things don’t really “grow on” Rory. Once she decides she doesn’t like someone or something, she doesn’t like them. There is no grey area. She’s incredibly stubborn and set in her ways and her opinion, and she’ll back her opinion no matter how much of an ass it makes her seem like. She is stubborn and opinionated to the nth degree. She also doesn’t care what other people think of her, one way or the other. She will speak her mind no matter who it pisses off and she’s not afraid of other people talking about her behind her back. It just means they have nothing better to do with their time. Aurora would consider those people pathetic. So obviously she thinks she’s better than some people, too. She’s very self-confident. There is not an insecure bone in her body.

Aurora is loud and blunt and obnoxious. She’ll always be honest with you, but on occasion it will be brutally honest. She’s impulsive and often acts and speaks before she speaks, which can lead to a lot of rubbish situations with friends and teachers. She can sometimes unintentionally hurt those she cares about with her honesty. She’s loud, all the time, especially on the Quidditch pitch. She’s got a biting wit, and she’s always got a comment waiting on the tip of her tongue. Most of them aren’t very nice.

Despite not caring what other people think of her, Rory is a very loyal person. Once you have her friendship she will be loyal to you, so long as you are loyal to her. If you give her a chance to see that you’re a loyal, good friend, she’ll stick by your side. But if you prove that you’re a fairweather friend, who only shows up when they need something or when it’s convenient for you, she certainly won’t put much interest in your friendship. She considers a fairweather friend a bit differently than most people. She’s not the kind of person that needs to see her friends all the time. She is able to go weeks without speaking to someone she considers a friend and still consider them close and a good friend, but if when she reaches out to you to spend time together – if you continuously blow her off, you are a fairweather friend. She doesn’t have to speak to her friends all the time, but if she reaches out to you, she expects you to be there. If you’re not, you’re not good enough to be considered her friend.

Just because you earn Aurora’s friendship doesn’t mean you equally earn her respect. Aurora doesn’t respect many people, not even her elders, even though she was taught to respect people older than her her whole life. She treats people with the same respect they treat her, but to earn her respect you have to be what she considers a good person. She is friendly, and able to be friends with a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean she won’t judge you for your actions or opinions.

Aurora is a fun-loving girl. She loves to play Quidditch and be outside and look up at the stars. Astronomy is by far her favorite subject and she can constantly be found in the Astronomy tower (despite it being off limits to students while they’re not in lessons) staring up at and studying the stars. She’s always been obsessed with the sky, the patterns of the moon, the sun, and star signs. She thoroughly enjoys studying the sky and considers it one of her biggest passions. She absolutely loves to laugh and she doesn’t believe in blood purity. She thinks those who believe they’re better than everyone simply because of their pureblood status are idiots, and have something to prove.

( HISTORY ) :Aurora grew up in Ottery St. Catchpole in Devon, England. She was born on Christmas Eve and as such has always been one of the oldest people in her year at Hogwarts. Her parents met one year when John ended up going into a muggle hospital for surgery on his heart while he was in muggle London on business. John Sinistra came from a traditionally pureblood family, but their views weren't quite as harsh as some. When he and Amelia met she had only been a nurse then, and she was the person who’d been assigned to make sure his recovery went smoothly. He was only in the hospital a week, but a week was all it took. John waited until after they were married to tell his wife the truth about his wizarding status. He was a smart man and he knew that if he told her before they were married, and things went sour… Merlin it could create any number of problems for the Wizarding world.

John's father didn't take the news of their marraige particularly well, but his mother, Aurora's grammy Sin was kind of elated at the idea. She had always been kind of fascinated by the idea of muggles, so the fact that her son was marrying one was very exciting for her.

Amelia had taken the news that John was a wizard surprisingly well, and when she became pregnant with Aurora, all she could think about was the little witch or wizard she would produce. Being a very driven women it was no surprise that Aurora was a very driven child. She had a thirst for knowledge like her father and ambition like her mother, and her parents fed on that drive and pushed her to do her best. She grew up with an immense amount of pressure put on her and as a result she ended up being quite rebellious. She was talkative and loud for her age, and when she went to muggle school even the teachers noticed that she wasn’t well-behaved. She was disruptive and talked back and asked too many questions. So, in a way, her parents were really praying she was a witch because it was quite clear in muggle school that she didn’t quite fit in well with the muggles.

She spent her childhood becoming the best she could at every subject she could find, and becoming easily addicted to coffee, which she drinks with an incredible amount of sugar and drinks by the gallon. She had a rather large house so she had a lot of land to play on and run around and get dirty. Aurora loved her family and her studies immensely. Sinistra was a name both well-known in the wizarding world and the muggle world. Her parents were massively successful and as their daughter Aurora was expected to do the same. She was expected to achieve nothing but the best, and achieve as many awards as she could possibly get. Her first love, though, would always be the stars. Even when she was young her head was constantly tilted upwards towards the sky, counting the stars. She wanted to know everything she could about them, about the moon, about all of it.

When Aurora turned 11 she received her Hogwarts letter. They pulled her out of school after that Christmas break and for the remainder of her time before Hogwarts in September she spent as much time as she could with her father in the Wizarding world at his apothecary. She got into the habit of experimenting with potions and once had to get rushed to St. Mungo’s because she mixed the two wrong things together. That had been a scary day for the whole family, and since then, while she still experiments, she’s still very careful about what she mixes with potions.

In her third year she tried out for the Keeper position on the Quidditch team and was accepted. Rory had loved the sport of Quidditch ever since she found out it existed, and the second a spot for her house opened up she was one of the first people to sign up for tryouts. That was one of the best days of her life, if not the best day of her life thus far. She loves competition, though she is a very sore loser, but there’s nothing like being up in the air and fighting for the win. It’s one of her favorite feelings.

( ROLEPLAY EXAMPLE ) :

Theo was on the field for yet another solo Quidditch practice. It seemed like he'd been on the pitch an extraordinary amount of time this week. He just needed to get out, get away. This week was exhausting. This week was stressful. This week felt like it had taken an eternity. This week felt empty. At that last thought he came to the realization that the reason this week felt empty was because he spent so much time not running into a certain Slytherin Princess that he found himself in company with so often. And at that realization he realized that that was the reason he spent so much time on the pitch. He was hoping to run into her.

He let out a heavy exhale as he slammed his beaters bat into the bludger that was fast approaching and aiming for his head. It was astonishing that he could manage to play with his head going in so many different directions. Okay, so maybe it was only going in one direction, but he was frustrated and annoyed at the entire thing, still. He'd made things alright with Vivian, and while he was glad that they were once again on alright terms, the person he really wanted to fix things with seemed like she was nowhere to be found. He'd seen her at the latest Quidditch game but that wasn't the time or place to talk about anything other than strategy and a hopeful victory. He couldn't apologize or explain, and he was pretty sure even if he had Daphne wouldn't have wanted to hear it. But here he was again, slamming the two bludgers around, trying to keep an eye on both. It was easy when you didn't have to worry about looking out for players to aim them at, you could just kind of whack at them as hard as you want and they always come back. The beauty of bludgers, really.

He smiled briefly at the thought before beginning a fast-paced lap around the pitch. He rounded the first of the two bends and glanced behind him to see the two bludgers hot on his tail. Beautiful. He smirked and leaned a bit lower on his broom, picking up just the slightest bit more speed before pulling up and flying up and around the bludgers, turning on his broom so he was prepared to hit when they followed. He smacked one and then the other as hard as he could, watching as they flew far enough to be considered out of sight. He'd decided that he was satisfied, and wanted to end on a good note, so he flew to the ground and waited for the bludgers to return to him. The first bludger flew at him hard, and he caught it in his arms, managing not to fall over as he wrestled it into its case. But with the second he wasn't so lucky. He turned around to prepare to catch it and it caught him only just off-guard as it knocked him in the stomach and flew backwards.

The wind was knocked right out of him and when he opened his eyes the sky was spiraling slightly above him, but he ignored it as his eyes found the bludger and he wrestled it toward his stomach and held it with one arm to his chest as he crawled gently back to the crate and put the damn thing back where it belonged. He was sure in the process of it he probably looked the slightest bit pathetic, but... oh well. He slammed the heavy box shut and leaned against it, looking up at the sky once more. The sky was the slightest bit gray, as if it might rain, but the clouds were light enough that there was plenty of light, and the chance of rain was probably slim. Even if it did rain, he wouldn't care. He felt like a sauna after all of that. He'd pushed himself hard, and that small, unfortunate incident at the end really didn't help.

He sighed as his eyes fell back to the pitch and he saw someone walking onto the field. He narrowed his eyes to try and get a better look at who it was, and he felt his heart begin to beat faster in his chest as he finally realized who it was. Did he say something? Did he approach her? He wanted to, but should he? Should he let her make the first move? She seemed to be pretty good at that, after all. He inwardly battled with himself and then made the executive decision to just say something, even if it was minimal. He was more than happy to finally have found her, and he silently hoped she hadn't been avoiding him. He waited until she was close enough to hear him before he finally spoke.

"Daph..." he began, a bit unsure as to what to say next, but he knew he couldn't just say her name. He'd look like a twit and he already looked like a big enough ass."I've been looking for you..." He had been, really, especially since they'd always seemed to run into each other often, and then there was... nothing. Not that she should have been surprised, really. Why should she want anything to do with him? Even though it wasn't even his fault and the entire stupid thing was a misunderstanding!
