'If I ever let my head down it will only be to admire my shoes'
Name: Mandy Ellison
Age: 22
Lineage: Half-Blood
School/house: Ravenclaw (although she would often be seen sporting a Slytherin scarf to support her boyfriend, a Slytherin Chaser)
Appearance: Radiantly beautiful and poised, Mandy would never be caught in anything but designer robes and some stunning heels. How she managed to duel and run in them was something of a secret.
Magical strengths/weaknesses: Gifted at charms, hexing and much to everyone’s astonishment she was the Auror schools best dueller.
Patronus: Abraxan Winged Horse
Personality: Although blunt and headstrong, she has the ability to make many friends and lead them with ease. Underestimated due to appearing vacuous, few know of her calculating nature. Her motivation for becoming an Auror remains a mystery to all who encounter her, perhaps even to herself. Mandy will occasionally mention it’s because she enjoys being the best, knowing this is a lie, she hasn’t taken to time to clearly delve into why she would risk her life for a wizarding world she doesn’t particularly feel any passion for. Her uncaring personality made her a perfect recruit for the office, in spite of this, she possesses an inconceivable charm that allows her to make a person believe they are special to her.
Bio: Born to a squib mother and muggle father, Mandy was raised in Oxford and attended Headington private girls school until Hogwarts.
Her great-grandmother was Sacharissa Tugwood, the first woman to use beauty potions which earnt her a place on the chocolate frog cards. Her mother, Perpetua, was very close to her sister Felicitania Tugwood meaning Mandy grew up with a certain level of magic around whilst visiting her Aunt, who made magical knitting patterns. Despite being told about the world of magic, Mandy was never interested in learning. Her muggle father however took a great interest, mainly in supporting Quidditch. Her mother was quite content in being a squib, although when describing her lineage, it’s something Mandy never mentioned, deciding to concentrate on her famous Tugwood relatives for which she was very proud of and more importantly left the Ellisons with a full bank account. She is presumed by most to have grown up in a wizarding family, due to her knowledge of the Wizarding world prior to Hogwarts. During the second wizarding war, the Ellison’s emigrated to Chicago, USA to avoid slaughter, they stayed there until 2000, when Mandy started to show magical signs, deciding they would rather her attend Hogwarts than Ilvermorny.
She was an extremely popular girl before Hogwarts and frequently begged her parents to withdraw her, missing her previous lifestyle. Devastated at not being a Gryffindor like her maternal grandparents, she was an outcast in Ravenclaw. The girl clique in the house very much resembled her muggle friends, except they did not admire her stunning looks and blunt humour, instead she was left aside as she had no interest in being book-smart. Mandy was known for often storming away from the Ravenclaw Tower, not caring to think too hard for the answer to the riddle.
She discovered a natural talent in charms which she used mainly to enhance her natural beauty. Mandy wasn’t noticed by most until she befriended a group of popular Slytherins. By the end of her fifth year she was known as the school bitch, people soon learnt that it wasn’t worth crossing her. Her looks and womanly charm were surely envied. Mandy spent most of her time with her boyfriend Zachary, a Slytherin chaser, which made many girls envy her even more. He was the subject to many love potions for a short while, until it was obvious Mandy wouldn’t hesitate to hex anyone that got too close to him. While she had many girls following her around during her last two years, she cared for very little people. Zach was the only person she seemed to have genuine affection for, but she was very hard nosed during their break up.
The relationship broke down shortly after graduating from Hogwarts, due to him being signed to the Wimbourne Wasps and not being able to keep himself from doting fans.
Everyone seemed to be stunned at her N.E.W.T scores, despite hardly ever revising or even seeming to care at all about the exams, she came second in the year and the ministry of magic leapt at her application for Auror training.
For those three years she spent most of her time training physically for the job, she was naturally talented at duelling and excelled at the fitness aspects. It was perplexing how she managed to maintain a perfect manicure, hair and makeup, all barely out of place even after the most gruelling of training sessions. She became close to a few trainees, however her two closest friends on the programme dropped out due to injury. After this she had trouble deciding whether she would prefer to be feared or loved, she had intimidated one Gryffindor so much they transferred to the Magical Maintenance Department. During the end of the three years, every one knew of her name and long dark hair and not one trainee had beaten her in a duel. She had decided not to care about her peers after graduation, but to further her career no matter who she stepped on.
