Referred By: This is my second character.
Name: Annabelle Jade Adams
Age: 17 (Sixth year)
Sex: Female
Nationality: English
Speech: English
Blood: Muggleborn
Father: Doctor Aldan Adams, age 57
Mother: Kendra Adams (formerly Kendra Mitchell), age 35
Siblings: Ruby Adams, age 1 1/2
Other Family: Half-brother Collin Shaw, age 33; Half-sister-in-law Lori Shaw (formerly Lori Allen); Grandparents (mother's side)
Family Interactions:
Both of Annabelle's parents were the only child. Aldan's father died when he was twelve from cancer. Aldan's mother died when Annabelle was three due to a heart attack so Annabelle never knew either of her father's parents. Kendra's parents are divorced, but both alive. She and her mother do not get along exceptionally well, so Annabelle rarely sees her grandmother. She sees her grandfather usually once a year.
Annabelle has always more or less been an only child. Aldan had a child - Annabelle's half-brother Collin Shaw - with his girlfriend at age twenty-four when he was in medical school. The two were never married and Annabelle has never met the woman, nor has Kendra. Collin lived with his mother and step-father until he went off to college at eighteen. He and Annabelle have met, but they're barely acquaintances and certainly have no true sibling relations. When Annabelle was born, Collin was seventeen years old. Currently, he is happily married to Annabelle's half-sister-in-law Lori. Lori and Annabelle met at the wedding and have seen each other only one other time since. Collin despises his father for never being there for him and for having a wife who is barely older than he is.
Kendra graduated high school at eighteen and ran off with her handsome doctor Aldan. The two eloped and just a year later, Kendra gave birth to Annabelle at age nineteen. Aldan was forty-one. Kendra never worked, nor did she bother to attend college. Aldan provided his girls a very comfortable, wealthy lifestyle. Within their social circle, they were the perfect family. The dignified doctor, his young and beautiful trophy wife, and their lovely and polite daughter. Annabelle thought they were the perfect family too, until she began school. She discovered that all her classmates had younger fathers than hers and older mothers than hers. Secretly, she became disgusted with her parents. Yet whenever they were put in a situation within her parents' social circle, she greatly admired them. Other people's opinions greatly influenced her own.
Her parents spoiled her all throughout her life. However, her parents and all their family members are muggles. Annabelle's acceptance to Hogwarts was both a shock and a disgrace. Annabelle herself was horrified. Her father yelled at her. He told her to go because he didn't want some witch in the house. Her mother slapped her and, of course, agreed with her father. Annabelle hated the thought of going to this school, but she knew she'd have no choice.
Whenever Annabelle returned home from the first two years of her schooling, she was treated horribly. She was constantly yelled at and disgraced. Finally, however, when she came home after her third year, her parents decided they would just ignore the fact that she was a witch. So every summer Annabelle would return home and talk with her parents like she'd come from a muggle boarding school. It eased the tensions in their relationship, but the scars remained. Annabelle has no contact with her parents while she's at school. When she returned home this past summer, she discovered a new baby sister, Ruby. That summer, Annabelle was ignored. She figures that she will be to Ruby what Collin was to her - nothing more than someone who's called a sibling.
Height: 5'2"
Weight: 104 lbs
Hair: Golden blonde
Eyes: Blue
Skin Colour: Pale but rosy
Clothing style: Annabelle dresses with the latest fashions. She tries to dress with a certain elegance and sexiness. Sometimes she must settle for one or the other, which irritates her tremendously.
Accessories: Annabelle always wears diamond stud earrings. She often wears matching necklace and bracelet of pearls. For special occasions, she usually wears a jade ring.
Other: Annabelle tries to always keep her nails done with a French manicure. She makes sure her skin is always smooth and well moisturized.
Paragraph Format:
At sixteen years old, Annabelle has more or less reached her full height of five feet two inches. She weighs a healthy one hundred four pounds. Her skin is pale with rosy tinges. Annabelle has blue eyes and golden blonde hair. Naturally, her hair is tight ringlet curls, which she despises. She straightens her hair daily. She'll allow it to be wavy, but never curly.
Annabelle follows the fashion trends. She's always been taught to dress with a certain elegance to uphold her father's dignified reputation and to represent their wealth to others. Her age has brought her a desire to dress with a certain sexiness as well. The majority of her clothes still maintain that elegance, but are just much less conservative. She tries to always keep her nails done with a French manicure and keeps her skin smooth and well moisturized.
Since she got her ears pierced at age eight, she wears diamond stud earrings. Elegance is not large and flashy. Also, she frequently wears a pearl necklace and bracelet set. They were a gift from her parents for her tenth birthday. On her eleventh birthday, she received a jade ring. She wears it only on special occasions. While they matching necklace and bracelet make her remember the good times with her parents, the jade ring is a negative reminder as it was the birthday that changed everything.
Personality:
Annabelle grew up being very spoiled. She is very polite and respectful but can also be very scornful. Throughout her life, she has been taught that she was above everyone so she maintains that opinion. Annabelle is also a very private person. No one knows her parents' hatred of her magical world. In fact, when Annabelle learned that she would have to attend Hogwarts, she began to do research on the wizarding world.
She loved her parents dearly. Even when she discovered that her friends had older mothers and younger fathers than her own, she still loved them, just thought of them as perhaps less perfect. Now, even after all they have put her through, she still loves them. Annabelle wishes constantly that things could go back to the way they were. But only when she is at home. During the school year, she rarely thinks of them just as they rarely think of her.
Upon her research, Annabelle discovered the hatred and disrespect often given to muggleborns. This horrified her immensely. She was not used to such a thing and she refused to be treated as such. Knowing her parents would never interfere to disprove her story, she made up her own history to say she came from a pureblood family. Annabelle treats 'mudbloods' with the same scorn that many other pureblood families do. She takes immense pride in her phony heritage.
Annabelle is condescending, conceited, and self-centered at times. However, her proper upbringing also diffuses much of that. She carries herself with grace and dignity. She treats others with respect and expects the same in return. On the other side of that, if anyone crosses her, she certainly does not take kindly to it, to say the least.
History:
Annabelle Jade Adams was born on October Twenty-Ninth in Manchester, England. Though she has a half brother, she grew up as an only child. She was spoiled as she was the pride and joy of her parents. At the age of three, her parents began to bring her to their social functions. From this young age, she was taught poise, respect, manners, and elegance. Her family was wealthy due to the many years her father had spent as a well established doctor.
When she began school, she was loved by peers and teachers alike. As one of the older students in her grade due to her beginning of the school year birthday, many of her classmates looked up to her. She was very smart and talented and her father was well-known and respected throughout the community. Her teachers were both shocked and pleased by the polite formalness of this young girl. Annabelle made many friends, being such a nice girl during her youth. When she discovered how different her friends' parents were from her own, however, she began to have doubts. Initially she doubted her parents, thinking they must be in the wrong to be so different. However, they were so perfect in the view of their social circle. Annabelle began to think it be her friends' parents who were wrong. She began to think she was above her friends, and it was heightened by the admiration they all gave her. They treated her as a leader, and she naturally responded that way.
Annabelle's eleventh birthday passed as any other birthday. That summer, however, a strange man appeared at their door. He informed the family of the wizarding world. The man explained that Annabelle was a witch and had been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Naturally, the family masked their horror until the man left. As soon as the door closed, her father turned on her. He yelled at her and Annabelle, who was already on the brink of crying, burst into tears. Aldan told her to go to the school because he didn't want some witch in his house. She was a disgrace to her family. Her mother slapped her and, of course, agreed with her father. For the first time in her life, Annabelle was grounded, and worst of all it was for something she couldn't control.
During those weeks alone in her room, she realized that she would have to go to this wretched school. She began to do research on both the school and the magical community. One of her discoveries was the treatment of 'mudbloods' but many pureblood families. Annabelle refused to be treated in such a way. Her parents wanted nothing to do with her, so she knew she had nothing to worry about. She created a false history to make her a pureblood witch. However much she loathed this new society she'd been forced into, she would not allow herself to be at the bottom of it.
When the term began, she was shipped off to her new school. Though everything around her disgusted her, she hid it well. Her research kept things from surprising her and no one doubted her pureblood heritage. At first she stayed formal and polite to everyone. As she watched how other purebloods responded to certain people, however, she began to mimic their behaviors. Again, she was one of the older students in her year. Once more, she did well in her classes.
Soon summer arrived and she returned home. Nothing had changed. Her father yelled at her constantly and her mother would slap her if she made even the smallest error. Annabelle spent most of her time locked up in her room on the verge of tears. The next summer was the same. She was yelled at, slapped, and, other than that, she was barely acknowledged. Her last day at home before heading off to begin her third year at Hogwarts, she snapped and went off on a tirade at her parents. Her father beat her and her mother watched, yelling at her the entire time.
The next summer when she returned, it was never mentioned. Her magical abilities were never mentioned. It was decided that it would be ignored. They would simply pretend she spent the year away at a normal muggle boarding school. Since then, things have improved, but they will never be the same. When Annabelle returned home this past summer, she was met with a new baby sister, Ruby. The baby was the center of attention. Once again, it seemed as if Annabelle didn't even exist. For her sister's sake, she hoped she would never be a witch. The girls were hardly sisters though. Annabelle wasn't allowed anywhere near Ruby.
About halfway through the summer, Annabelle was awoken one night by her baby sister's crying. She lay in bed, waiting for it to stop. When it didn't, she finally got up and went into the baby's room. No one else was there. As she picked up her sister, the crying stopped. The two stared at each other, sharing their first and only sisterly bond. Within seconds, however, it met its end. Her mother burst through the door, ripping Ruby from her older daughter's arms and screaming for her husband. Annabelle backed up until she hit the wall. She hadn't meant any harm. She hadn't done anything wrong! Her father dashed into the room and her mother shrieked how Annabelle had touched the baby. Suddenly, she realized that her parents didn't want her to touch her sister because they were afraid that Ruby would receive her same curse. Ruby was the child to make up for their mistake with Annabelle.
She was crushed. Her father beat her but she was too numb to feel it. He beat her into unconsciousness. When she awoke, she called the only person she could think of - Collin. The two had never shared much of a sibling bond, but she was beginning to understand some of his feelings. Annabelle begged him to allow her to stay with him and his wife, Lori, for the remainder of the summer. She promised that she would be no trouble at all. Collin was hesitant, but when she told him of the new baby, he agreed to take her in. Now that Annabelle has turned seventeen, she plans to find a place of her own amongst her own kind this summer.
