( KEYWORDS ) :
outgoing - Astoria adores to be in the spotlight, whether it's in her group of friends or with her parents. She will do anything to be the center of attention. She likes when people talk good things about her, but hates being the center of attention for the wrong reasons. She will pretty much speak her mind as long as she thinks about what she's going to say. She doesn't want to come off as talking just to hear herself talk. she will pretty much do anything someone dares her to do or ask her to do, as long as it's in reasonable limitations.
princess - She likes to think of herself as a bit of a princess. She tends to gravitate towards sparkly things and though she's not a ditz she does carry herself in a way that speaks to the true dignitary in her. She turns her nose up at people who she deems are beneath her, but usually won't make fun of them, she just doesn't associate herself with them. She likes to think that she rules her group of friends when in all reality she's just as plain as any of them. She is also a bit of a princess/diva in the fact that her parents will give her pretty much anything as long as she bats an eyelash and pouts her lips.
stubborn - She could very easily be deemed the most stubborn person anyone knows. She doesn't like to listen to reason when she gets in one of those moods where she thinks she is right and doesn't care what anyone else thinks because their opinion doesn't matter. She will often just go about her business fuming because she wasn't right even though she knows someone else is. She would argue with a brick wall if they told her she was wrong. She just can't handle not being right.
judgmental - Astoria is a very judgmental person. She often judges books by the covers until she actually talks to them and finds out what's underneath. That's if the person is lucky. Sometimes she'll just blow them off, but she can't help it. It's in her DNA as a pureblood.
boisterous - She can be very loud and she can often cause a lot of drama in a classroom. She has her moments when she can be calm but for the most part she's the one causing a scene. You often won't see her not surrounded by people and she tends to prefer desks than chairs to sit on. Counters, it they're there. She often can be found talking to a group of friends in the halls of Hogwarts loudly or just laughing at the most inopportune moments.

( HAIR ) :
- - Astoria has long dark brown hair that falls just past her shoulders. It's naturally wavy and normally worn as such. Astoria's hair is her favorite part about herself. She loves how long it is and that she never really has to worry about it getting out of hand.
( EYES ) :
- - She has brown eyes to match the brown hair she sports. They are, to her, tragically almond shaped and too small. She has on and off days with liking them and not liking them, mostly depending on the light.
( FACIAL STRUCTURE ) :
- - Astoria has a oval shaped face and a somewhat pointed chin. It's not completely pointed and it's not completely rounded out either. Her lower jaw forms a kind of v shape and meets at her chin. Her nose is what she hates. She often feels that it's not exactly centered and that it's too big when in actuality it's rather small. She also dislikes her forehead because she feels like it's too big on her face. Her ears tend to be her favorite though. They are the perfect shape and size,she thinks at least.
( BODY STRUCTURE ) :
- - Astoria is lanky. Her arms are a little long compared to the rest of her. She's five foot six and weighs about one hundred and thirty pounds. She has no muscle mass on her body except in maybe her legs and arms. The only reason for that would be that she played on the quidditch team for one year, before she realized how boyish she looked in the uniform and quit.
( ATTIRE ) :
- - Astoria tends to stick to pastel colors or lighter colors when she gets the chance to wear normal clothes and not the Hogwarts uniform. She is a large fan of dresses and skirts and anything girly. She refuses to be caught dead in anything resembling a boy. She dresses in things that are often found on dolls. She really has a fondness of scarves and heels, because they make her taller.
( SUMMARY ) :
- - Astoria could easily be described as pretty. She has brown hair that falls down her back in gentle waves and brown eyes that more resemble mud than anything else that's brown. Her face could sometimes be described as looking harsh when she's in thought or looking peaceful when she's just thinking. Her overall look is very girly and you usually won't find even a spec of dirt on her nearly perfect clothes. She tries to keep herself very prim and proper looking. She believes that appearances are everything. She is on the average side. Her weight really being the only thing that's below for her. Just because she works to keep it that way otherwise she feels as though there's something wrong with her or that people laugh. Astoria tends to wear heels even though she doesn't need them. She just likes to feel taller than she is. She wears them constantly and tends to never take them off it seems like. Overall she has a very inviting look to her.
( PLAY-BY ) : leighton meester

( PARENTS ) :
- - Edsel Conrad Greengrass. 45. Ministry Worker. their relationship is that of any father to his youngest daughter who he treats with all the love and affection he can. They get along pretty well as long as he gives her what she wants. They tend not to fight and she can usually go to him if she's upset.
- - Aliana Rose Hampton-Greengrass. 43. Daily Prophet Journalist. Her relationship with her mother isn't as good as the one with her father, because she believes that her husband shouldn't give into their younger daughter's pleas. She also doesn't like the fact that the girl throws tantrums everytime she doesn't get her way and they tend to but heads a lot.
( SIBLINGS ) :
- - Daphne Greengrass. Twenty. Astoria and Daphne are a bit distant from each other and tend to not be able to relate. They don't get along very well and just don't find each other's company humbling. Astoria gravitates more towards party people and not so much Daphne. It's not that she hates her sister she just doesn't have much to say to her when she's around.
( OTHERS ) : none.
( HISTORY ) :
Astoria Greengrass is the youngest daughter of the noble house of Greengrass, which doesn't sound as cool as Black. Her mother and father were never very strict with her and she grew up getting everything she wanted causing most of her nannies to quit right then and there when she would start screaming and spontaneously combust things. The Greengrass family are purebloods and her parents drilled in her brain from the very beginning the pureblood ideals. So she grew up thinking that she couldn't associate with mudbloods, and house elves were just another creature she could torture. Just like her parents. Children are very perceptive to others actions, you see, so hearing her parents talk bad about those who weren't pure in blood rubbed off on her.

When the war broke out Astoria went home to mommy and daddy who took no part in it. She hid with them while it went on and when it was over she went right back to school. Not knowing what to do with those who were grieving over losses from the war she drew away from those people, made new friends, and took Draco Malfloy's spot as head of Slytherin. She could snap her fingers and have things dished out to her no problem. First years were afraid of her temper. Not that she had one, but rumors sure did get spread in Hogwarts.

With Astoria's seventh year quickly flying by she hopes to become a healer at St. Mungo's and possibly find a cute boy to be his eye candy. Throughout school she made impeccable grades and this year was no different. She had to keep her parents somewhat happy. The one thing she did resent about her sister throughout the years was that she didn't have to try hard to get the grades, while Astoria had to stay up late and sometimes bribe her way into getting good scores. She was also a tad bit jealous at the fact that her sister got named prefect, while Astoria was shoved off in the background. She didn't even get considered for prefect, but to her that was alright, because it didn't matter to her that much to be a stuck up prude anyways.

Astoria has plenty of friends in school, but only a couple that she would consider close. She tends to gravitate towards kids who don't follow the rules, because she hates following them herself. Just because she makes the grade doesn't mean she had to follow the rules. She could fool the teachers very easily. Astoria was a trouble maker it was true. She would like to think that if there was a new dark power rising up she would participate, but she knows in some way she would be a coward no matter how big her reputation is.

Astoria lived to make Draco happy. Really he was the main point in her life and most things she did revolved around him. Not in a creepy way. She spent a lot of time alone, considering he was the Minister of Magic and all. Two of the kids were all grown up and one was at Hogwarts so Astoria spent most of her time alone usually waiting up for Draco to get home. She didn’t care what time she had to be at work the next day or even what time he got home. She sat up in the living room either writing a letter or reading just so that she could see him. Sometimes, even, she would have had dozed off in the chair with her quill in her hand or her book in her lap, but it didn’t matter at least she wasn’t already in bed. That way he could tell her about his day and they could actually see each other for more than a few seconds. To most people they would have just been knocked out not even bothering to wait on their husbands or wives, but to her it was her most cherished part of her day. It was something so simple and yet so big to her. As you can see that was only an example of her trying to make him happy.

Like he, she wasn’t very good when it came to doing things for him. The one and only time she had tried to cook a meal by herself it hadn’t been edible. It had actually burnt so bad it had crumbled to pieces and she had gotten her personal house elf to cook dinner and she gave it to him as if she made it. It had been an awful lie, but so worth it. She wasn’t going to just give him a ruined meal what kind of wife was she. She wasn’t trying to kill him. Chuckling at his words she shrugged a bit. “This is true both of us were quite surprised. I still wonder what happened. What kind of tree just bursts into flames?” Oh, that’s right one that was in their presence. Running a hand through her curls she brushed them lightly off her shoulders.

Astoria had never in her life imagined that Draco would cheat on her. The thought never crossed her mind. She was so in love with him and so thankful that he was her husband she just never thought about the possibility. She looked up to him so much as a person and she just didn’t know what to do if he ever didn’t love her anymore or if she ever found out he cheated. She would be lost. Why? Because she had been a devoted wife for a little over twenty years. She had stayed up every night they had been married, done the best in her power to make him feel loved, and treated him right. She was the wife any one would love to have. So just imagining him cheating was like a hit in the face. Not that he had cheated on her. Only the thought made her want to scream. Luckily though those thoughts were nowhere near her mind. The expression on her face only expressed the adoration and love she was feeling at the moment.

Draco sure could make her feel like the only important person in the world just by looking at her and his words made her heart swell and she got butterflies in her stomach just like the first time they met. Shaking her head at him she knew he was boastful about his looks and had heard this many times before so she just rolled her eyes. As he stood in front of her and towered over her she tilted her chin up in defiance. At a loss for words. As his lips were placed on hers she smiled and put a hand on his chest. Pulling back she looked up at him a slight blush on her cheeks. “Okay, that was good enough we can go now.” She told him unable to keep the smile from her face.
