woo!
Hey guys! :D This is Brandi, here with character number six! And no, I didn't get her completely done in three days while on vacation, I'd already started her in anticipation of knocking off one of my other characters soon-ish, but since you guys all guilted me into upping the character limit, I can go ahead and bring her in now!
This here is Amata Carpenter. Yes, she was named after the character in The Fountain of Fair Fortune. Yes, she hates her name. The vast majority of people call her AJ; the only people who call her Amata probably do so out of teasing or mocking. A very small number of people (her brother, a few super-close friends) call her "Mouse," which was a childhood nickname. And nobody knows that Amata is actually also Grizel Hurtz, the Agony Aunt of the Daily Prophet. The only person still alive who knows about this is the DP editor, and it's a stipulation of her contract that he not spill the beans. The column has been in the Prophet since around early-mid 1962, so Grizel is something of a household name nowadays (like Ask Abby for the wizarding crowd!).
Random things about Amata:
- Ravenclaw class of 54 - 61. Prefect.
- She likes snakes. She has three as pets. She doesn't understand why people would hate them.
- She's a bit cynical, though she tries not to let her cynicism melt into Grizel's advice too much. Though readers would have noticed a lot of cynicism around mid-late March 1973, due to Amata being all upset over her parents being murdered by Death Eaters.
- She has ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE taste in men. Seriously, she always seems to be drawn to the assholes and the ones who are just plain Not Good For Her. And she says that hindsight if 20/20, because she can never see how bad things are when she's in the relationships, it's always after the fact that she's all "BLOODY HELL THAT WAS A MISTAKE WHY THE FUCK DID I DATE HIM?!"
- Good at giving advice (or, well, she wouldn't have a job). REALLY REALLY BAD about taking it.
- If you mention that her name is the same as that character from that tale by that person, (or if you mention the tale, or the person), expect to get your face bitten off. She LOATHES Amata / The Fountain of Fair Fortune / The Tales of Beedle the Bard.
- She wants a baby. REALLY REALLY wants a baby. Her biological clock just WILL NOT SHUT UP. It doesn't help that her BFF is happily married with three kids (thanks, Cally). But at the same time, she thinks that babies smell and are messy and noisy. So if she can have one that isn't smelly or messy or noisy, that'd be great.
- She likes to read. A lot. Her nose was constantly buried in various books at Hogwarts, and she'll read just about anything that's found between two covers and has writing on it. She's also generally neat and tidy and a bit OCD about it at times.
Her full bio (or what exists of it) is here!
SO! Friends? Enemies? Frenemies? Asshole exes? Future asshole exes?
