Appearance:


Name: Alyssa Carrow

Age: 16

School Year: Fifth Year

House: Slytherin

Bio: One would be hard pressed to find a wizard or a witch that didn't know the Carrow family. Although Alyssa was from a minor branch of that family, she was still closely related to the Carrow Twins who were given control of Hogwarts after Voldemort took over the ministry of magic. For that, her family were slightly avoided by normal wizards but it was hard to avoid one of the most powerful wizarding families in the country.

Alyssa was the youngest child and only girl amongst her three older brothers. For that reason, she was spoiled rotten when she was a child - anything she wanted, she got and there was even a number of things that she didn't want that she got. Growing up was easy for her, if her brothers ever annoyed her or gave her any problems then she would turn on the water-works and run to her father. Quickly, however, she discovered that this only worked in the case of her brothers and very rarely worked when dealing with other children. She needed something new, something that could allow her to bend and warp their little minds. It was only when she turned nine did she figure out what it was. All she needed to do was befriend the right people, make the right contacts and she had total control.

Moving from a private school to Hogwarts was easy, she had already made friends with other children from rich backgrounds and so, when she was put into Slytherin, her rise was expected. Unlike most of the other pure-blooded children that joined her, Alyssa had a lot going for her up in that thick skull of hers and she used it with deadly efficiency. Bonds were made, friendships destroyed and she felt rather smug that she had did it all. Having a brother who was a professional quidditch player did help her gain a few others as well, but also made her pretty good at the sport.

Personality: Personality? No; the main question is whether she would be diagnosed as a psychopath or not. It's not that she's particularly dangerous (unless angered) to anyone but she does have a rather shady sense of moral judgement. She's not unsociable, in fact she's like a sharp-edged sword when it comes to social encounters. Whether it's a witty remark or providing her opinions (mostly unwanted), then she can easily handle it all and take it in her stride. The paramount problem, however, is the fact that she really makes no effort to conceal her displeasure for muggles or half-bloods or simply anyone who connives with the whole lot. This has caused her to gain a little support in Slytherin but a main back-lash from other students. Like she'd care, of course.

Still however, she isn't one to mock you until she watches you and judges your usefulness to her before she categories you. Some people will gain her trust and she'll allow them to wiggle their way into her inner group. Most will be completely uninteresting to her and she'll let them ones drift through but occasionally, she finds a threat. A threat is someone who has the potential to destroy the chaotic system that she has engineered. Someone who could be close to her or her arch-nemesis - that's why she has to watch. In terms of school work, she usually tries pretty hard but likes to give the appearance that she isn't - her reasons for trying is because her parents would be rather disappointed if she got bad results.
