<COLOR color="#000"><SIZE size="50"><FONT font="Verdana">!The basics!
<U>Full name;; Elizabeth Margaret Sturridge
Date of brith;; 15th of May 2015
Current age;; 10 years old
Basic appearance;; I am average height and I have
Medium length, black straggly hair. I am quite skinny,
You could say I’m underweight but I don’t mind being
Small. I wear quite out-there clothes as I like to make
A statement.
Personality;; I am quite secretive and like to keep a lot
Of things to myself, but I am outgoing and can usually
Find something to talk about with almost anyone. I
Don’t like to obey my mother and I have a rebellious
Way about me. My personality fault would be that I am
Rather manipulative when it comes to getting what I
Want.
Family;; Mother;; Her name is Annie Sturridge, maiden
Name Stonem. She is a typical housewife, likes to cook
And sew. She is always nagging me or telling me what to
Do or scolding me for something. I think she is quite pretty
But she doesn’t care about her appearance. Lately she has
Been sleeping lots and she doesn’t come to make dinner or
Send me to school. I don’t mind though because I can take
Care of myself.
Father;; His name is George Sturridge and he is a big
Grumpy man. He likes to discipline us kids if we do
Something wrong (which is more often than not) and he is a
Business man. I’m not exactly sure what he does but he
Always looks rather purposeful when he leaves the house with
his suit and briefcase. Dad sometimes hits mum when he
Comes home after work, I think its because he is mad at her.
Lots of the time he doesn’t come home at all, then when he
Does he smells like alcohol.
Brothers;; I have twin brothers named Thomas and Lucas.
They are seven years older than me. Lucas is my favorite
Because he is fun to be around and is extra nice to me. He is
Rather naughty though so mum and dad sent him away to
Durmstrang. I miss him quite a bit. Unfortunately Thomas didn’t
Get sent away. He is really smart and well behaved, he goes to
Private school. I don’t much care for him because he tells on me
And is a big party pooper.
Area of residence;; Bristol, UK. But I will live at Hogwarts when
I attend.
Blood status;; My parents were both wizards but were muggle
Born so that makes me a mixed blood.

!More!
Special abilities;; None that I know of yet
Interests or hobbies;; I like to party and have fun. I am also
Interested in fashion and making up interesting outfits that make
A statement. I do ballet but that is only to please my mother
Really
Strengths;; Getting out of punishments, looking good and making
A statement
Weaknesses;; School, staying awake in class, being a good girl,
Provoking Thomas and eavesdropping
Describe yourself in three words;; Rebellious, manipulative, crazy!
Favorite place to be;; hanging out with friends at the park
Friends;; I have a few crazy friends in the UK, we like to hang out,
Throw parties and be crazy! I hope I will be able to make some new
Friends at Hogwarts

!School!
Hogwarts house;; Hopefully Gryffindor as I am quite brave but as
Soon as I can I want to transfer to Durmstrang so I can be with
Lucas
Hogwarts hopes and ambitions;; Survive school and pass some of my
Classes! Its gonna be a challenge!
Best school subjects;; Probably the Dark Arts because it is the only one
I am interested in
Worst school subjects;; All of the others! Especially Arithmancy
Current job;; Student
Plans for your future;; Nothing just yet, I haven’t really thought about it
Patronus;; Phoenix
Patronus memory;; When my family was all together and happy on my
Ninth birthday, before Lucas was sent away.
Boggart;; One of her brothers dead, because even though we fight, I
Couldn't bear to live without them.
Animagus;; Phoenix
Mirror of Erised;; My family, laughing and hugging, being a normal happy
Family

!A page from my diary!
Today was an eventful day, I got my letter from Hogwarts to say that I was
Accepted, Mum seemed excited but I don't know where dad went, mum called
Him a bunch of names, so perhaps he was mad. But also today Lucas got sent
To Durmstrang. I was so sad because I know I will miss him so much, but I
Didn't cry because I didn't want him to think I was weak. I try not to be weak
Because I want the family to be happy and crying doesn't make anyone happy.
Dad has been yelling alot lately, that is when we see him, which isn't often. He
Hit mum yesterday, she has a big bruise on her cheek. I think she must have
Been very naughty because she got hit really hard. Harder than dad hits me or
Thomas or even Lucas, and he's really naughty.
I had better go, I can hear Thomas calling me,
Talk soon, Effy ♥

Just a few questions that I hope will help.

`Where did the nickname Effy come from? Does everyone call her that?
`Is there a reason why Effy is underweight?
`Why doesn't she obey her Mother?
`When did her rebellious ways start and why?
`How does the relationship between her parents affect Effy?
`If Effy doesn't like to obey her Mother, why does she do ballet to please her?
`What kind of statement does Effy want to make? Does she want to be different than others? Or simply be recognised?
`Why does Effy struggle with school?
`Does she have someone she can trust completely?
`Were her parents always the way they were? If no, when did they change?

Thanks for the questions Taylor, they were a great help I'll just post with this character:

1. Not too sure where it came from, but most people call her that because she doesn't like her full name, she thinks it is too prissy. Her mother and father still call her Elizabeth though, they think Effy is too common sounding.
2. She doesn't eat much, not for any particular reason, but the family don't have much money so they don't have large meals either. She has a naturally fast metabolism too.
3. She thinks that her mother is too strict and is trying to control her, which she doesn't like, she also has a fear inside that she will turn out like her brother Thomas (perfect) because he always did what he was told.
4. They really began to start as a small child, she copied her brother Lucas, who was very rebellious, and she watched what he did and thought it was fun. She didn't want to be boring like Thomas. She became even more rebellious when her brother Lucas was sent to Durmstrang, she was making up for him being gone.
5. She thinks its rather odd, but is too naive to see what is going on so doesn't think much of it. Although she doesn't have a healthy relationship with her parents especially her father because she hardly sees him.
6. It is the one thing she does to please her mother because deep down she does feel bad for hurting her mother so much.
7. I don't think she particularly wants to make a statement, I think she simply wants to be recognised for who she is. If she was to make a statement it would be individuality.
8. She doesn't see the point in going to school, so she doesn't pay much attention. Her mind tends to travel away from lessons off into a dream world. She doesn't put in the effort.
9. She has her brother Lucas, but she often doesn't confide in him, as she is afraid he will see her as a weakling or make fun of her. She will hopefully fins some good friends in Hogwarts to trust.
10. They used to be close and love eachother, but as the twins grew up, her mother struggled to control them. Especially when Lucas kept acting out. Her parents ended up only fighting about him when they talked, his father turned to drinking and it all went downhill from there.
