MariaIsadoraLestrange
it's not your fault
those hands are freezing
name: Maria Isadora Lestrange
nicknames: …none, as of now.
age: thirteen{years}, January 12th, Third Year
house: Slytherin
gender: …lobster. Jk,jk, xD she’s definitely a chica
sexuality: straight? (as far as I know. May be subject to change)
wand: a 7 ¾ inch holly wand, with a kraken heartstring core
pets: A female Bengal cat named Aubree
play-by: Carolanne Evans
borne from childish days
you carry the scars
height: 5’1” (61 inches) and still growing
weight: usually between 93 and 95 pounds
body style: …tiny.
tattoos and piercings: ear piercings.
distinguishing features: her slate-gray/pale blue eyes and a small mole on the left side of her face, above her lips.
overall appearance: With pale skin, black hair, and eyes that seem to change between pale-blue and slate-grey, Maria gives off a rather cold vibe, even at age thirteen. When uniform is not necessary, she most often dresses in black, or something with a black-and-white pattern. She feels that it draws attention. Her dark hair is usually worn straight down, or it a half-ponytail – she has side bangs which are long enough to be pinned back if they get in her way. She usually wears a lot of eye-makeup, drawing attention to her attention-grabbing eyes. She likes to wear rubber bands, hair elastics, and other simple bracelets, along with slightly gaudy silver or black necklaces.

boggart: Daryl Lestrange (her oldest brother)
animagus: nope (not yet anyways, xD)

overall personality: Maria is, as her parentage, blood, and appearance suggest, quite cold for a thirteen-year-old. She’s more than a bit arrogant and aloof, but has another side that’s fragile and searching for something that she can’t find. She’s manipulative and fiendish. If she loses an argument, she may appear to let it go in public, but she’ll come back at the victor in a nasty way later on. And you’ll never be able to prove that she did it, either.
If you have something that she wants, you better watch your back, she’ll take it from you in a second. She grew up in a household where you had to fight for everything – or in her case (as she’s younger and weaker than her two brothers), take it without getting caught. And that’s a lesson that she’s not likely to forget.
In the typical Slytherin tradition, Maria Isadora is quite apathetic. Don’t go crying to her for sympathy, because you won’t get it. If you get hurt somehow, her philosophy is that you deserved it anyway. She’s too cold to be comforting, for most people.
But just because she’s a budding ice-queen whose good-side is quite hard to locate, let alone get on, doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have any redeeming qualities. If you somehow do manage to find yourself in her small group of friends, she’s unbelievably trust-worthy. She’ll take your secret to the grave, if you ask it of her. She’ll stand up for you in a tight situation, and woe on whoever tries to hurt you.
everyone is searching
for a place to end their sadness
hometown: Coventry/London (aka: between Coventry and London, xDD not that hard to figure out)
family: father: Rabastian Lestrange; mother: Aulani Lestrange; brother: Alistair Lestrange(sixth year), brother: Daryl Lestrange(seventh year); aunt: Bellatrix Lestrange(RIP), uncle; Rodolphus Lestrange
blood: pure-blooded, most definitely
history: Maria was born the third – and last – child of the famous late Bellatrix’s brother-in-law, Rabastian. In the years following Second Wizarding War, Sebastian managed to keep his family pretty low-key, assuring the ministry that they were not supporters of the Dark Lord’s ways. However, in the privacy of their own house, the Lestrange’s raised their children to look to the dead death eaters as martyrs and heroes.
Maria and her two older brothers never really had a ‘childhood’, in the many-hugs-and-kisses-and-i-love-yous-from-parents-who-try-to-shelter-you-and-keep-you-safe sense. Aulani and Rabastian were always cold towards their children, not giving any affection that was not earned. They taught their children to be cold in return, and to hate muggleborns right out of the crib. Their expectations for their children were to do well in school, be proud of the heritage, make respectable pure-blood marriages (which, they informed Maria, they would probably pick for her), and raise another generation of pure-bloods in a world where they are becoming increasingly less common.
Distanced from her parents, Maria could not look for affection in her oldest brother, either. Daryl was always…terrifying. Not-to-mention, the favorite of the family. He liked intimidating and smacking-around his little sister. But Alistair was always different, somehow. Not as cold. Not as cruel. Not as crazy. As a result, Maria grew closer to Alistair than anyone else in her family, and he became the only relative that she actually liked, and has remained so over the years.
There was no surprise for Maria when she got her Hogwarts Acceptance Letter. She had always known that she would. But there was relief. Relief that she no longer had to stay home with her parents all year long and do everything right in an attempt to earn their love – an impossible task. Relief that she got a little bit of independence. Got to make her own decisions, and do things without her parents watching her every move.
Now attending Hogwarts for the third year, Maria has so far met her parents’ expectations. Get into Slytherin? Check. Be friends with only an eliticed group of other pure-bloods? Check. Get remarkable grades in everything? Check. Be mean to mudbloods? Check. But (ah the joys of being a teenage witch) she’s starting to wonder if it might better suit her interests to be a little bit rebellious…

-sigh- really? Fine, here, have a bratty Miky:
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Miky studdied his sister. It wasn't one of his particularly bad days, and it didn't look like it was one for her either. Which was a good thing. Because he really had no idea - or will, for that matter - of how to deal with her when she was having a bad episode. He had always conveniently disappeared when that had happened at home. And if he could have, he would have disappeared now too.
He sighed. He didn't want to tell her. But, while he might not know her very well, she was still his sister, and he knew that even though she was crazy, she was also smart. "If I don't tell you, you're going to find out from someone else, aren't you?" He already knew that answer, but...could you really blame him for stalling? Wait. Don't answer that question.
He was a little bit surprised that he was still doing so well. Usually when he encountered something that stressed him out or that he wanted to get away from, he wanted his drugs. Badly. He wanted them now...but not any more than he had before he'd run into Viktoriya. Which was...strange, but he wasn't exactly complaining.
