About the Character- -

Name: Ajla [Ahy-luh] Emery [Em-ree]
Age: Sixteen
Gender: Female
Year: Year 5
Face Claim: Elyse Taylor

Canon or Original? Original

Facial Properties:

Layers of blond hair flow down from Ajla’s scalp to envelope her face. Although, most of the time during classes she has it up in a quick, messy bun to prevent the annoyance of the constant hair-in-the-face-scheme. For Quidditch and any other muggle sport, she has her hair in a ponytail of some sort. Her piercing blue eyes, thin and always-lip-glossed lips, and facial structure contribute to her doll like face.

Physique:

Ajla has a tall stature of 5’8”and a tiny figure. Her arms are lean, but not weak. Her calves and legs are basically all muscle from playing basketball and soccer all summer with her friends back at home. Her body is basically health and in shape. She has a slight tan because whenever the sun is out so is she. Ajla doesn’t hate her body; she comfortable in it.

Wand Type: Willow, 10 ¾ inches, Hippogriff Talon
Wand Expertise: Willow and Hippogriff Talon both contribute to the fact that this wand excels in Charms work.
Patronus: Fennec Fox {Like her patronus, Ajla is full of energy and always tries to keep active.}
Boggart: Creepy crawlers. Mainly spiders. Ajla never figured out how her sudden fear of spiders came upon her, but the way their hairy legs feel like when crawling on one’s skin is enough the send chills down her spine. How could you not afraid?!

Personality:

Ajla’s competitive, whether it’s in school, sports, or clubs. It’s not like Ajla is a big jerk when she looses or immature when she wins. Winning just builds her confidence like it would for anybody. Along with her competitiveness trait, she is ambitious. When her mind is set onto something, there is not turning back or quitting. As some would say “Eyes on the prize.” Her competitive and ambitious traits help her achieve what she works hard for.

Kickin’ it back and chillin’ with her friends is a way Ajla loves to spend her time at home or at school. When she’s with her friends she is a bubbly person and quite talkative. She loves crackin’ lame jokes here and there, and yeah she laughs at her own jokes most of the time. xD. Around people she’s never met or acquaintances she more reserved and quiet.

The Arts. Even though, Ajls is not a major fan of art, whether it’s drama, music, painting, etc., she still enjoys it’s company. Taking the time to sketch a scene let’s Ajla escape some of her stressful life quite a bit. It helps soothes her and calms her down when her temperature is boiling. Playing guitar also is another way for her to escape and make her feel closer to her dad. Since her dad taught her how to play when she was younger, she plays it whenever she misses him.

Ajla hates cruelty, especially animal or magical creature cruelty. It deeply sickens her. Bullying doesn’t make her pissed off as much, but she’ll get worked up over it. If someone is treating someone or something horribly you better have a pretty good reason why. But to Ajla no reason is good enough to beat up a house elf. Now if someone said they are treating the creature horribly because they can; Ajla will have this moment where she’ll try to call herself, but she’ll end up yelling or lecturing the person.

History:

===========I can finally see===========


Mabel Grover was a diligent student, who focused on her studies. Though she was not the very top of her class at Hogwarts, but she was somewhere near the top. Mabel was an optimist and always had a different approach to things. Growing up in a closed, happy environment at home and at Hogwarts, Mabel wasn’t use to the cruelties of the world. How the world can just take the lives of anyone, especially her loving parents. Her parents died in her third year of Hogwarts by a care accident. Mabel’s parents were on their way to visit her Aunt Peyton that day they died. Mabel’s legal guardian was, now, her Aunt Peyton. After the funeral and burial of her parents, Mabel got settled into her new home. Aunt Peyton was a muggle and never seemed to disliked Mabel. Aunt Peyton would help Mabel prepare for the beginning of the new school year by taking her to Diagon Alley and spoiling her with anything she found interesting, even if it wasn’t school related. While living with Aunt Peyton, Mabel got close to her muggle neighbors, especially Andrew Emery. Andrew was the same age as Mabel and they got along well. Andrew Emery was the top of his class and into almost every other sport. Andrew became fascinated with Mabel and her positive out look on everything. Naturally, they started dating and they dated during the summer for almost a year. One night they were celebrating Mabel’s 17th birthday, well a little too much champagne and nine months later out popped Ajla.

===========That you‘re right there beside me===========

Taking pregnancy test, Mabel found out that she was pregnant. Did she tell Aunt Peyton or Andrew right away? Of course not. She didn’t have the guts to do it. She was afraid of disappointing her aunt and scaring off Andrew. Mabel drove herself to the abortion clinic, all along the way telling herself she could make it though this. If it wasn’t for that person who was marching around and holding a horrific sign of an aborted baby, then Mabel would have gone through with the abortion. As soon as she got home Mabel told her aunt and Andrew. Aunt Peyton said she knew because she saw the test in the trash and was waiting for Mabel to tell her. Aunt Peyton wasn’t mad; although she was a bit disappointed. Andrew on the other hand, was motionless. He would talk to Mabel for weeks, like it was all her fault. Mabel went back to Hogwarts for her last year and came back home for Christmas break. She reunited with Andrew as soon as she found him waiting for her on her front porch with bouquet of flowers. They sat on the front stairs talking for hours; talking about school, friends, and how they missed one another. Eventually it came down to what has been on both of their minds: the baby. A few months into the pregnancy Mabel was already getting more round and big. Mabel finally broke the silence and started babbling away on how she’ll raised the baby because she could stand the long awkward pause between them. Andrew started getting into the idea of raising having a child, so he promised he help raise the baby. “Just promise not to keep anything from me again,” Andrew said. Mabel replied with a heart-felt “I promise.” She hugged him with her round stomach between them.

===========I am not my own===========

Mabel went back to Howarts and graduated, making her aunt proud. After the graduation ceremony, Mabel rushed to embrace her aunt, who was holding new born Ajla. In the summer that Mabel graduated, she married Andrew. This could have been a happier picture if they didn’t end up having a divorce when Ajla was eleven.

The age of eleven was when Ajla discover she was a witch and that’s when all hell broke loose. Andrew didn’t know about Mabel being a witch. The fact that Andrew felt he married a complete stranger led into arguments about how Mabel thought it was best he didn’t know and how Andrew thought it was best that he should have known. Well, those fights led into Andrew moving out and then the divorce papers were signed faster than Ajla had time to think of a way to fix things. Ajla ended up living with her mother, but staying with her dad on the weekends during the summer or holidays. One holiday weekend with her dad while Ajla was eleven, someone broke into her dad’s apartment. The man was on the run from the police and he was in hiding. Ajla was doing some summer reading on the floor when her dad was making something to eat for the both of them before the man interrupted their lives. As soon as the man shut the door he spotted Ajla and grabbed her before she could call for her dad, thinking he could use her as a hostage. Ajla’s dad walked into the room not knowing who else was in the house. Andrew turned to see his daughter being held as a hostage with a gun to her head. The man told Andrew to sit on the couch and not to make a sound or call for help if he didn’t want Ajla to die. Immediately, Andrew obeyed, seeing no other out for now. By now Ajla was in hysteria, she couldn’t help the frighten tears streaming out of her eyes.

===========For I have been made new===========

Knock. Knock. Knock. Someone was at the front door. A flicker of fear flashed across the man’s eyes. Andrew, by instinct, was about to get up to answer the door before he planted him self down as the man glared at him. “Go ahead and get the door,” the man said to Andrew in a harsh voice, “But don’t let anybody in or say anything about this.” This being the fact that his daughter is a hostage. “If you do, your little girl won’t be live for long.” To emphasize his threat, he shoved the gun closer to Ajla’s skull. Ajla winced at the coldness of the metal against her skin and the bruise that would probably form from the force of the shove. Andrew glanced at his daughter then nodded, indicating that he understood, as he opened the door. It was Mabel at the door! Andrew didn’t know what to say and if he was going to say something he had to make sure he said the right thing. He stood in the barely opened door to block any view of the inside of his apartment. “Aren’t you going to let me in, Andy?” Mabel asked after a few seconds into the silence. “I’m in a hurry, I have be back at work soon.”

===========Please don’t let me go===========

“I’m sorry, Mai. I can’t let you in…the apartment’s messy.” Andrew lied as he thought of a way to get help. Then he remember there was a wipe board on the door as on every door in the apartment.

“Well that’s too bad, Andrew. I have to pick up Ajla.” Mabel said impatiently as she tried to get past Andrew.

Andrew nudged her back from the door as he made a swipe for the erase marker. “I’m sorry, Mai. I just can’t let you in,” Andrew said as he scribbled ‘gun-help’ on the wipe board and place the marker back quickly. “I’ll drop Ajla off later. Bye, Mai,” Andrew said as he gave an anxious glance towards his scribble of words. He shut the door on Mabel as she read the words.

===========I desperately need you===========

“Good,” the man said to Andrew, “Now go sit back down!” Andrew hastily walked back to the couch and sat and watched as the man paced back and forth, still having a hold of Ajla. What am I going to do?, Ajla thought. I’m a witch…I have to do something.. But Ajla knew she couldn’t do anything magical without her wand, even if she really tried. After all she was still only a first year. A few minutes after more pacing and muttering from the man about his plan to escape, Ajla heard police. The man heard them, too, because he turned accusingly towards Andrew. “I knew I should have gotten rid of you from the beginning,” the man said as he point the gun to a still Andrew. Ajla didn’t know what to do so she wrestled out of the man’s grip and turned to kick the man where the sun don’t shine. The man doubled over as Ajla ran to her father still sitting on the couch. “Daddy come on!” Ajla shouted as she tugged on her dad’s arm. Andrew snapped back into reality and grabbed Ajla’s hand as she ran for the door. Ajla was rushing towards the door, which seemed further than she remembered. Why is it taking so long to get out of here? Ajla thought frantically. Ajla still had one hand in her father’s as he pulled the door open.
“Ajla, watch out!” The sound of a gun shot filled Ajla’s ears as her dad stepped in front of her. He collapsed and Ajla saw that the front of his shirt was starting to get soaked with blood. Ajla threw herself down next to her father and threw her little arms around her dad, crying. The police came crashing through the front door and tackled the man before he could shoot anyone else. Later at the hospital Ajla’s dad is pronounced dead.



Sample Post:

Ahh…Why is the sun so bright? Ajla squinted her eyes at the morning sun through the window and then pulled the covered over her face, trying to preserve the warm. Before she dozed back off into dreamland, her mind came back to earth. Oh hell! What time is it?!?! Ajla immediately sat up and bolted out of bed. As she hastily through her robe on and gathered her homework and books scattered on the floor, she realized all her roommates’ beds were neatly made and their space clear. Some friends they are!! Didn’t even bother to wake me up! Ajla mumbled hateful phrases as she rushed down the stairs to the corridor, while tying up her hair.

Ajla ran through the hallways, but for some reason they seemed oddly empty to her. Ajla slowed down her paced until she was standing still confusingly glancing around. Where is everyone? Ajla blinked and noticed that the hallway was getting darker. “What is going on?” Ajla mumbled to herself. “I can’t be night already, I swear it was sunny when I got up.” Finally, the it became pitched black and Ajla forgot which direction was where. Ajla felt the floor with her feet, so she would trip over anything as her hands looked blindingly for the walls.

Ajla’s hand finally land on a solid concrete wall. Then something felt crawled up Ajla’s arm. She tried to shake whatever it was off, but she could feel more of whatever it was crawling up her arm. Ajla reached into her robe and pulled out her wand. “Lumos,” she said, and the wad obediently lit itself. She held her wand closer to her other arm, so she could see what it was. She saw little black bodies with multiple legs covering her arm until barely an ounce of her skin was visible. Ajls shrieked as she realized they were spiders and shook her are vigorously, dropping her wand in the process. Her wander rolled on the floor and Ajla saw the whole floor move. “No…,” Ajla said as she stared at the floor in horror. The floor was covered in spiders. Ajla tried to make a run for it but, everywhere she ran there was a wall. Every time she touched a wall more spiders covered her with there crawling, hairy bodies. Ajla screamed again more covered her began layer on her.

“Ajla…Aj-lahh, AJLA!” Ajla sat straight up in her bed almost hitting her roommate. “Ajla are you okay?” her roommate asked.
“Yeah…It was just a dream,” Ajla said so softly that it was more of a reassurance to herself than her roommate.
“Well you better hurry up, we’re going to be late for class,” her roommate said walking out the door.
Ajla grudgingly got up and hastily through her robe on and gathered her homework and books scattered on the floor, she realized all her roommates’ beds were neatly made and their space clear. I love how they wake me up at the last minute. Ajla thought as she rushed out into the door and into the hallway.
