Andromeda Cattanas

ANDROMEDA CLAIRE CATTANAS

Basics;;



FULL NAME: Andromeda Claire Cattanas
NICKNAME(S): Andy
AGE/D.O.B.: 28, 08/15/1983
HOUSE: Ravenclaw
IDEOLOGY: 

Growing up in the Cattanas household, friendships that could elevate their status was valued by the matriarch. Even though her family were half-bloods, Eleanor tried to align herself with purebloods and high-class. When Andromeda was free of her mother's constant grasp, Andromeda, reluctantly at first, began to meet families of all status, realizing that her mother's ideals were asinine. 

Even though the pretentious Cattanas family outlook is in the back of her mind when meeting someone new, Andromeda tries her best to judge them on their personality instead of their blood origin.  

JOB: Appleby Arrows, Chaser

WAND: 13", swishy, ebony, hippogriff Feathers

BROOM: Firebolt

PLAYBY: Lily James

LIKES: Reading, her best friend Felicity, exercising, changing of the seasons, sleep, firewhiskey, butterbeer ice cream 

DISLIKES: Shopping, sharing her feelings, her ex-boyfriend, being cold, bugs, being tired

STRENGTHS: Hard working, independent, tolerant, resilient, focused, realistic

WEAKNESSES: Communication, uptight, passive, critical, pretentious, condescending

AMORTENTIA: Old books, cedar wood, firewhiskey, and vanilla

PATRONUS: Andy's patronus would take shape of an eagle, not just because she was in Ravenclaw. "Free as a bird" was a term that Andy read in a book. During that time, she was learning who she was as a person without the tight grip hold that her mother tried to hold over her. The witch only wanted the choice to make her own choices. 

Her happiest memory is moving into her own apartment - one of the first choices Andy made on her own. 

BOGGART: If a boggart were to appear in front of Andromeda, it would turn into her mother. Eleanor Cattanas has always held her family, especially her only daughter, to high standards. Andy always had to be on her best behavior, not speak her mind, and befriend someone who could elevate her status. As she got older and learned how to be a decent human (ish), Andromeda learned to resent her mother and fear of turning into the older woman. 

MIRROR OF ERISED: To win the Quidditch World Cup with Felicity

PARENTS: Xavier and Eleanor Cattanas

OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY: N/A
HISTORY:

Andromeda's life at home wasn't normal. To get away from the deafening silence in the house, she escaped in books, where her mind first started to soak up all the new information. When she was reading, the young girl would be content reading her books; however, her three older brothers thought otherwise.

Being the only girl and youngest was hard at times. Like any older siblings, especially brothers, Andy got teased and tormented frequently. Her parents would never come to her rescue. Anthony and William were the instigators in these instances. Since Andy and Branson were closer in age, they were closer. Branson came to Andy's rescue numerous times. Despite her older brothers weird sense of humor, Andromeda survived her childhood with only a few scars - literally and figuratively.

Andy kept to herself at school at first. Being on her own at first made it feel that she had lost all social skills and judged everyone from behind a book - until one fateful night in the kitchens. Anthony had told her where the kitchens were. The young witch had thought that it was a joke at first due to how much he picked on her at home, but Andy took his advice. It was that night that her and Felicity became friends, causing the two to be inseparable throughout their years at school. 

Her first crush that lasted for many years was Felicity's older brother, Micah. Felicity had banned Andy from even dating on her older brother. That didn't mean that Andromeda couldn't crush on him from a distance. It had all stayed at a distance until one night when Micah was walking her back to the Ravenclaw dorm from the library. The sounds of footsteps in the distance caused Micah to pull them both into a broom closest to avoid getting in trouble. In the stillness of the dark, Andromeda was kissed for the first time. It wasn't something that her and Micah ever talked about from that day on until they were both older and graduated. 

Felicity had shared her displeasure of any of her friends dating her siblings, but that didn't mean anything about her other relatives. In her fifth year, Andy had caught the eyes of Fee's cousin - Brandon. He was cute, and the brunette couldn't keep holding out in hopes that she could someday date Micah. Brandon and Andy began to date, and Andy thought herself in love for the first time. 

The relationship lasted until after they graduated, even though Brandon had a tendency to be hotheaded at times, saying things that he said he didn't mean. The two discussed moving in with each other, but Andy expressed her desire to live by herself at first. Brandon who had always had a short temper, did not like that. The relationship began getting more toxic from there, especially as Brandon took to drinking now that they were out of school. Several months after they graduated, Andromeda had gone to his flat one night, trying to make up for the hundredth time. When she entered the flat, Brandon was in bed with another girl. The two did not get back together after that. 

After she graduated, the former Ravenclaw moved to a Muggle neighborhood because it was what she could afford-the check from joining the Harpies with Felicity hadn't cleared yet. The added benefit of her mother not wanting to come visit. Being in a new neighborhood, there were new places to explore, especially pubs. In those pubs, she ran into Micah. Over some heavy flirting over several months, Andy and her best friend's older brother hooked up and continued to do so for months. Felicity didn't know until months later, and it was not a good time during their friendship after. 

Not everything could last, especially a relationship with Micah. Andy thought that she had found a decent boyfriend in a Muggle named Eddie. He was sweet and doting. He had talked about getting married, but Andy just couldn't see herself settling with him. 

It must have been too many bludgers to the head from Quidditch, but Andy had run into Brandon. He seemed more mature. Somehow, he had convinced her to go on a date. The two started to date each other again. Brandon was completely the same, expect more toxic and a bigger drunk than before. The relationship lasted longer than Andromeda cared to admit before she ended it again. 

Now that she is once again single, and at the same time as Felicity, Andy is going to focus on herself and her career, hoping that the Arrows could win the Quidditch World Cup in the upcoming season.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE: 

There was always something special to Andy about the first snowfall of the season. Perhaps it was the change of seasons that also meant the change in her own life. Normally, the first snowfall meant Felicity hounding Andy to start choosing acceptable winter wear to be seen when with her best friend. Now that Andromeda was living in London, the hassling didn’t come nearly as often, but the brunette was certain that Felicity would come by to make sure that the former Ravenclaw would be in warm, comfy clothes for the entire winter season. Over Fee’s dead body.



Knowing that her most favorite person would probably show up at Andy’s door within the next few days, Andromeda pulled out most of her best clothes to the front of her closet, mostly ones that Felicity had forced Andy to buy so that she was more apt to wear them. This night was not any different, especially since Andy was going to the pub with some Muggle friends and get the weekend started.



When the group of friends arrived at the bar, it didn’t take long for them, especially Andy to get hit on, because, well, she was pretty damn hot, especially in clothes that Felicity had picked. However, so that Fee’s ego wouldn’t get any bigger, Andy did not tell the blonde that. Even though the former Ravenclaw was not looking for company for the night, she would, however, accept free drinks. That was a no brainer.



Even though free drinks from men vying for the group’s attention was wonderful, they kept sending over the wrong drinks. It’s not like the Muggle bar had firewhiskey, but there were better things than what the gentleman had brought over. Andromeda got fed up after the third weak drink that was set in front of her, opting to go to the bar herself to get a decent drink, whether she had to pay for it or not. The brunette stood at the bar, looking at the options available. “Scotch, please,” Andromeda ordered. Her eyes gazed at the bottles lining the wall behind the bar, already starting to plan for her next drink. What she wasn’t planning was for someone to start talking to her.
