The Outer Layer
Physical Appearance; Andrea was blessed with a full head of dark brown hair which may appear to be black at times. Her mid-length hair reaches her back and has a V-shape cut and is layered, silky and straight. She inherited her mother's almond-shaped eyes and from her father, the colour - brown. Her eyes are a beautiful chocolate brown with a darker shade of brown as an outline. Her eyes are curtained with a short set of lashes which curve upwards. Even if it does curve upwards, it is short so she still has to use mascara.
Andrea's physique is a little more on the feminine side, although she does have muscles on her arms and thighs. She is more on the bustier side, her waist thinner and her hips the same width as her bust. In other words, she has an hour-glass shaped body. As for clothes, she prefers the formal, yet sexy look. she wears pencil skirts, stylish blouses, halter tops at times, but also covers up with long sleeve tops, which she tries to jazz up. she also wears formal pants, of course.
When it comes to make-up, Andrea doesn’t tends to go overboard. She prefers light and natural but occasionally she would apply some dark smokey eye shadow to enhance the colour of her chocolate brown eyes. She doesn’t apply too much blusher but on top of the sun kissed bronzer, she would brush on some pink blusher. Overall, the woman is very stylish and natural.

Personality; Andrea is stubborn and a bit controlling, she is a real tough gal and doesn’t let anyone forget it. She can be sweet when she wants, even romantic but never at first impression. She loves to joke around and have fun; mostly mess around with you a bit, before showing you the ‘other side’. Andrea is rather down to earth and realistic, she has the confidence and the intelligence. And when Andy has an idea in her head, it’s stuck and imprinted there. When she believes she’s right about something, she had no second guesses.
Andrea is a girl who will go all out, if you piss her off which is kind of a downfall in her career considering a lot of people know not to get on her bad side and not to miss a class or a homework that she has set. She has a big temper, almost uncontrollable, and she hates being restricted. She can have a bad attitude often, and does what she wants when she wants. Most of the time she is mad at her brother or something. Then to make things worse students where no help when they decided to piss her off and ignore her rather than listen and learn. Sometimes it really does suck.
Even though she is mean to those she dislikes, which is hardly anyone, if you manage to get on her good side she’ll be kind to you and can make people laugh just as easily as she can insult them. Andrea’s a fairly charismatic person, always quick with an insult and can hold a conversation well. It has helped Andrea through a lot of things, it helped her to hold friendships etc.
Andrea is fiercely loyal to those that she loves, and she would rather die than betray a friend or family member. Andy has very few enemies, but you certainly don’t want to become one of them. If she doesn’t like you, you will know it. She has never been shy about her feelings towards others, and she finds it a complete waste of her time to simply talk about someone behind their back. Andrea is very sarcastic, and this comes off the wrong way to people at times.
The Past
History; Andrea Lillian Banks was born 16th September 25 years ago to Cristiano & Heather Banks. She was the couple's second child and it was not a secret to anyone that she wasn't meant to be the last. Therefore, it was Heather's chance to fulfil her mother's dream and give the name 'Andrea' to one of her children like her Portuguese mother had always told her to do. (Andrea was the name of her own Canadian mother) So, after many long conversations Cristiano eventually agreed that their youngest daughter at the time should be called Andrea. That's the name the brown-haired girl got but never used it since everyone, except for Heather's mother, started calling her Andy.
Even though Andrea was the second child, she never felt like she didn't get enough love. Her mother bought her everything she dared to ask (and more), her father enjoyed reading/telling stories to her and naturally, Cassandra and Alisha (even if she was her younger sister) were her protectors and best friends. Andy loved her family more than anything else, yet she sometimes wished that she didn't have so many relatives. She wasn't the most sociable person around, therefore she didn't feel comfortable when spending time with all of her cousins at once. Andrea preferred those days when she only met one of her uncle or her aunt + their children instead of meeting 4 uncles and one aunt + their children at once. Andy learned not to like Christmas too much because the family meetings never turned out to be too pleasant from her point of view, Mostly because she used to push her younger cousins around.
When Andy finally began studying at school in age of 13, she realized how much family actually meant to her. Whenever she needed help with finding the classes or something like that she could count on the fact that one of her siblings or cousins would help her. However, Andrea couldn't help but want other friends as well. That's the main reason why she started spending more time outside the school and slowly began to skip classes soon, she did develop a few close relationships as well as plenty of not-so-close ones. Despite the fact that she didn't spend all her spare time alone, Andrea kept writing and reading a lot and got amazing grades. Studying was nearly the only thing that really interested her right then even though she did like fashion and that kinds of things too.
Things tend to change. Andrea didn't exactly change all that much since she has always been a bookworm but still, she did change. Probably, during her second year at school the witty student got to know that life was so much easier when one didn't reveal one's true feelings and didn't hurt others by telling them. Andy became a manipulative liar, without even noticing it herself. The only ones she completely trusted were her diary, and her older sister, Cassandra. Since Cassandra was only one year older than Brooklyn, they always talked to each other and therefore, the girl also shared her worries and good moments with her precious diary even though she did have her close friends. She just wasn't ready to count on them yet.
On her third year at school, Andrea finally did. She revealed her secrets to her few best friends as she sort of let go of her big sister who had grown to be 'so old.' but they still hadn't lost their special connection and as far was Andy knew, there was no turning back. Slowly yet certainly, the friends and the diary took Cassandra’s place as the trusted ones, but in Andrea's heart, Cassie was always one of the few people she really loved and was ready to die for. The young girl simply didn't know how to show her feelings anymore since she herself, as well as her sisters, had changed so much during those few years.
There isn't anything that special to tell about Andrea's 4th and 5th year or the rest of her school years, except one thing. The girl was named a prefect in the beginning of her 5th year which made her happier than she had ever been, no matter how spoiled or loved child she was. Andy felt like finally someone had noticed how hard-working she actually was and she also had a feeling that she had made her parents proud. It might be that they had been proud of her all the time but the girl simply had been too blind to see it while studying, drawing, spending time with her friends, reading and writing. And studying... and studying. That's pretty much what Andy's life was like, despite her tendency to flirt with guys and manipulate them to do things for her. Andrea enjoyed playing her little games by using her so-called beauty.
Once Andrea left school, she didn’t do much with her life. She was detached and lived off her parents money. She did apply for a job at the Ministry but failed to ensure herself a job. After she went to Hogwarts, seeking a job at a place that she used to consider her home. The headmaster at the time, employed Andy since their muggle studies professor quit the job, complaining that the students give her too much stress.
Andrea worked hard at her new job, she was just born to be a professor. The witch fitted into the school perfectly and she loved every moment of it. After her third year at teaching at the school, the headmistress had resigned and that was when Andrea stepped in. She was named the headmistress of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry while there had also been a new assigned Headmaster.
Put You To The Test

Roleplay Sample; Pushing each sheet aside after he quickly wrote down his signature, “Do I need to sign all of these?” The young man asked and arched a eyebrow at his assistant. Jobs like this where rather bothersome at times, all this work, all the meetings, all the important appearances he had to make by the Minister’s side, you rarely ever got a change to sit on your seat. Aleksei Igor Greyback was a man of many talents, the former Slytherin was known throughout the wizarding world and their was no denying that he was highly respected and thought of. Great responsibility came with his job as did territory. He’d been the head of the department for many years, four to be exact and now days he was constantly bothered about running to become the next Minister. Where people crazy?
Yes, being so high ranked in the wizarding world was something amazing and truly rewarding but becoming the next minister of magic could possibly be the end for many people. Why? Very few people knew that Alek was close to many people that followed the Dark lord, he was very close to the Dark lord and he, himself is also a faithful servant to the lord.
“Yes sir. There isn’t much more to go.” Biting on his tongue, Aleksei stared at the man who was now looking absolutely terrified knowing he’d done something wrong. “Not much left?” The sound of his voice was cold and crispy, “If there isn’t much left then why don’t you do the rest Stanley? Here take them and get out of my sight.” Alek said shoving the papers in the young man's hands and ordering him to leave.
Aleksei had been trying to keep himself busy since receiving the news from Alisha. No one still didn’t know, she was three months pregnant and yet he was only recently told. His bloody sister might even be pregnant! He had so much on his plate right now that the best thing he could do was avoid it for the time being…and the only way he could do that would be by working non stop. Now it wasn’t that Alek didn’t want the baby because he did, he just didn’t now if he was ready. Did that make sense?
Why today? Why did it have to be so stressful and like usual, dull and boring? Trailing his fingers through his short brown hair, he sat on his desk and lifted the daily prophet looking at the latest gossip. There wasn’t much in it that had grasped Alek’s attention so just as he pushed himself onto his feet when he heard a wrap on his door.
He wasn’t expected anyone today was he? Approaching the door, he opened it slowly to see who it was. “Maya…come on in.” Yes, the girl that his sister had been pestering him about for quite some time had decided to join him. Once he led her into his office he looked at her with a worn out expression. “Alisha’s pregnant and I have no idea what to do!” He said exhaustedly and rather frustrated with himself.
