Camilla
Full Name:
- Ashelia Rosa Fortescue-Bleakley. Ashe, for short.

Date of Birth:
- November 3rd.

Current Age:
- Eleven.

Basic Appearance:
- Average height (perhaps erring on the taller side of average) with mostly straight light brown/dark blonde hair down to her shoulderblades, usually tied up with a variety of hairties and/or ribbons. Hazel eyes, often dancing about in excitement or alternatively lost in thought of some sort. Lightly freckled from lots of time spent in the sun (mostly reading). Large-ish nose and full lips. Not especially thin but not overweight. Usually clad in pretty dresses (to match the hairties and ribbons) and most often found barefoot on the grounds with a book in hand, or sometimes a wooden sword/fake wand.

Personality:
- Incredibly enthusiastic. Has an adoration for muggle fantasy - being brought up in a wizarding family, most wizarding world knowledge has been taught as fact, so worlds of books such as The Lord of the Rings and the Narnia series are completely enthralling. She's quite a daydreamer and imagines fantasy worlds of her own in her head, even writing some of her ideas down (though she's not as good at putting them on paper as she'd like, being limited by her writing ability). She can seem pretty oblivious and is easily mislead due to her cloud-cuckoolandish nature. She is a friendly sort, though her fascination with fantasy has not made her many friends - her sister and many kids her age have "grown out" of playing princesses and dragons and the like, but Ashe still loves the worlds of fantasy. She's pushed around a bit by other kids for that reason and ends up being a bit lonely, but she doesn't mind too much when she has books for company. Her parents do worry about her and fear she'll get bullied at Hogwarts, but Ashe always wears a smile and insists she's happy enough. She can't wait to go to Hogwarts and learn magic herself, though she does secretly worry she won't be any good at it. Ashe enjoys being outside, though she's not particularly athletic. She is excited to learn Quidditch, but most of the time if she's outside, she's reading or writing or even playing - although nowadays she has dolls as her playmates instead of other kids.

Family:
- Has a twin sister, Edea. Edea is a lot quieter and more restrained than Ashe, more concerned with how others perceive her. Lives with her parents in country Australia - in a wizarding community of wealthy landowners. Most of the Fortescue, Bleakley and Fortescue-Bleakley family is established in England, but Ashe's branch is set up in Australia. The Bleakley family is mostly muggle lords - the wizarding side comes from a marriage to the Fortescues. As such, they are quite far removed from pure-blood but are proud of their wealth and status regardless. Ashe, meanwhile, ignores most family politics and is simply happy to live comfortably and without want with her immediate family.

Pets:
- The family has a barn owl, Archibald (Archie, for short), and a German Shepherd named Max. The dog has no special magical skills, but he's a great companion for the girls - Ashe especially, who spends more time out-of-doors than Edea. Ashe hopes to get an owl or possibly another creature of her own before attending Hogwarts.

Area of Residence:
- Rural Victoria, Australia. Lives near the Victoria/South Australia border in a small community on a stretch of farmland that appears useless to muggle eyes. There are actually a few well-off wizarding families who live comfortably in that supposedly desolate area. Fireplaces are set up for multiple uses - warmth and transport.

Blood Status:
- Half-blood. Her surname represents as much - the Fortescues being a wizarding line, the Bleakleys being muggles.

Interests or Hobbies:
- Ashe likes to read, especially muggle fantasy novels. It may seem strange for a witch to like those, but Ashe gets entirely enthralled. She also is imaginative and likes to act out and write fantasies of her own - her personal favourite is the lovely Princess Ashe and her trusty dragon companion saving the world from the evil sorceress, Edea. Edea, unsurprisingly, does not share Ashe's enthusiasm (hence her casting as the wicked witch). She often plays with dolls, as they are more inclined to join in Ashe's reveries than people such as her sister are. She likes to make things, too - some of the house elves, after Ashe begged them, taught her some basic sewing skills so she could make dresses and other outfits for her dolls (as well as using paper and other things).

Additional Skills:
- Surprisingly quick at wordplay. Quite confident in her speaking ability and rarely shows nerves speaking in front of anyone, even if they shoot down her ideas.

Strengths:
- Stays true to herself, no matter what. Has a very active imagination and never limits herself by what is 'fact'. Very good at talking to adults.

Weaknesses:
- Not usually willing to compromise. Often lost in reverie and attention can slip. Will often isolate herself from people her age due to conflicts in interests and sometimes does not consider the wants of others.

Describe your character in three words:
- Enthusiastic, imaginative, self-reliant.

Favourite place to be:
- In the yards, either acting out a scene from a book or from her own imagination, or reading, or just lying around and thinking, often playing with dolls. Likes being outside (unlike her sister, who prefers the comforts of the indoors.

Friends:
- All her friends are in her mind or her dolls and toys. There is, of course, Max the dog. She is friends with her twin, Edea, and they both love each other and care about each other - they just often don't see eye to eye and have conflicting tastes and interests.

Hogwarts Hopes and Ambitions:
- She hopes to learn about all sorts of things and maybe even discover things nobody knows about yet. Would like to learn all kinds of spells and enchantments, as befitting of a hero-princess.

Your Patronus:
- Ashe's patronus would be a German Shepherd dog, just like Max. Protective, smart and loyal.

Your Patronus memory:
- The first time Ashe got to ride on a toy broomstick. It was scary but amazingly fun, and she likes to imagine that it was the first step towards riding a dragon.

Your Boggart:
- Ashe's boggart would be all her books, writing and toys set on fire by those she loves, who would then join the fire. Which is lit by a giant cockroach.

Your Animagus:
- Ashe would be a Pomeranian dog! They are very cheerful, curious, and intelligent, like Ashe!

Mirror of Erised:
- Princess Ashe, of course. With her trusty dragon companion. And her twin sister, Princess Edea, with their parents, the King and Queen. Basically, it would be her family united in her dream world - which would be reality.

A page from your diary:
- Princess Ashe's decrees, on this, November 3rd:
Hi, diary! Today is our 11th birthday, and Edea and I both have been infor told that we're going to go to Hogwarts next year. Yay! Edea doesn't seem as exited excited as me I am. But she's always quiet and boring. She's playing the violin in her room. I asked if she wanted to come outside and play but she said no. Her loss. We're having cake later on and I have Lady Puffington to play with.

I wish Edea would play too thowgh though. We're going to Hogwarts together and I bet we'll be in the same house. I'm kind of scared but mostly excited.

I hope there are some muggle kids I can talk to about books.

Anyway, I can't keep my adoring public waiting! I have to turn down some sooters princes and then I have to save the world again. Honestly, they can't do anything without me!
