Welcome to Gaia! ::

Hi, my name is Andara O'Farrell

But I mostly go by Andy

I'm a gender-fluid person!

I'm 13 years old.

My birthday is April 3

My dream job is to be a Zoologist, Author, or Teacher.

My blood status is Muggle-born.

This is my Third year here at Hogwarts.

The house I'm in is Ravenclaw

My electives are Alchemy, Care of Magical Creatures, and Healing Class.

I'm interested in both girls and guys.

I'm currently with no one!

People can describe me as socially awkward. That is the be all, end all, but if anyone were able to make their way past my fumbling for words and failings at small talk, they would realize that I am very perceptive, empathetic, and have a tendency of over-thinking just about everything. (That just means I have a unique way of seeing things!) I am the most excited when I am learning new things or starting a new project, though I will rarely finish what I start. What I do, I do to keep my mind constantly occupied and away from the otherwise anxious thoughts which would drive me mad. It's a good thing I'm intelligent.

My background story is one of many like it. I grew up in North Wales with my mother, father, and younger brother in a homely, two-story cottage between the town and countryside. My parents never got along spectacularly, and frankly, neither did me and my brother. But there we were, our little defunct family unit, living together in relative happiness. I've always had a unique way of looking at things, but I had no way of knowing just how different I was from my family until the magic started happening. Most of it occurred when I was in some sort of heightened emotional state, like when people in my family were fighting. My bedroom door slammed closed all on its own once, and I've even become invisible before. Needless to say, though I was shocked when I received my invitation to Hogwarts, it was more over the fact that such a school existed, than it was that I belonged there. I always knew I was different, deep down, and this was just my opportunity to develop what talents I already knew I possessed. It took my family a while to come to terms with it (especially my fully muggle brother, who became extremely jealous), but they eventually came around. You should have seen us at Diagon Alley! We looked like such tourists. But now I'm all packed and ready to begin my wizarding adventure!

I enjoy daydreaming, reading and writing, playing games (board, card, electronic, etc), sketching, people-watching, and learning new things.

I despise being the center of attention, having to talk to strangers, not having time to myself, people who have stuck-up attitudes, and getting in trouble.

I'm afraid of disappointing people. I'm also a tad afraid of the dark, enclosed spaces, heights, and roller coasters.

My strengths are creativity, problem-solving, and being able to read how other people are feeling.

My flaws are not being able to grasp social constructs and queues, and having the occasional bout of laziness.

I look like this.

My wand is a 13-inch bendy Alder wand with a spiral shaft and a Unicorn hair core.

My pet is a grey and white tabby-cat named Socks.
