But I mostly go by Anti.
I'm a female.
I'm 17 years old.
My birthday is August 18th, 2017.
My dream job is to be an arithmancer.
My blood status is pureblood.
This is my GRADUATED year here at Hogwarts.
The house I'm in is Ravenclaw.
I'm interested in girls.
I'm currently with no one.
People say that, in a nutshell, I'm gloomy. I never seem very happy, or really anything at all. I usually have a blank face, and I tend to expect the worst. I'm not really a full-blown cynic, but I'm certainly pessimistic, with a dreary outlook on life. I'm a pretty passive person who's used to being ignored or bullied, usually by my family. I used to try to seek attention, especially my mother's, by crying and whining a lot when I was little. All that ever did was get me in trouble, and now that I'm older I've been told I need to start acting like it, so I've basically given up on it. I still crave attention though, and I can cry on command if the situation calls for it. I'd rather have pity than apathy any day. I'm the smartest of my siblings, but my intelligence is usually unnoticed or dismissed because I'm the middle child, and the girl of the family. I live inside my head a lot because of this, and I rarely share my thoughts and opinions with anyone but myself. This makes me seem very distant, and I'm always being told I need to be more outgoing, more charming. I don't really know how to do that. I hate being pushed around and patronized, so I try to leave other people alone in the hopes that they'll do the same for me. I'm usually shy around people I don't know, but I slowly open up as I get to know them. I don't feel like I'm in control of my life, but at least I'm in control of my head. I can be extremely sarcastic, usually when I feel threatened or vindictive, and when I'm riled I'm not above shoving my quicker wit in people's faces. I'm used to being told what to do, but I'm also used to doing it as slowly and reluctantly as possible. I'd usually rather let other people walk over me than get into a fight about it. It's just easier. I'm much more of a follower than a leader. I get uneasy about breaking rules or traditions, and I'm doubly uneasy about doing something that goes against my siblings or parents. I may not like them, but I do feel loyal to them.
My background story is I'm the second born and only daughter of Callius and Desdemona Lillantine. My older brother, Vander, takes up all of Father's attention, and my younger brother, Cy, takes up all of Mother's attention, so really I'm invisible. I've never really wanted to grow up, but I have to. I spent what's been my childhood so far doing my best to avoid my brothers and spending a lot of time alone. I used to like my room, because it was like a sanctuary, where I could be alone and play with my dolls or read or do whatever I wanted, but by now it's started to feel like a prison. My dolls and old toys were just a reminder that I wasn't a little girl anymore, so I threw most of them out. Suddenly I'm being paid slightly more attention to, but not for the reasons I want. I can't run around anymore; young ladies only walk, and walk slowly. I can't spend as much time in my room because young ladies are sociable. I can't read too much or I'll damage my eyes or become some sort of little bookworm no one will like. No one likes me already, so I can't see how that will change anything. I've always been wedged in between Father's pride and joy and Mother's little darling and it's nauseating. I've never made any friends my own age, and Vander's always telling me I'll never make any, even at Hogwarts. I would be excited to go to Hogwarts if it wasn't for the fact that I'll be with Vander the entire time, since he's only one year ahead of me, and we'll probably be in the same house. And then two years from now Cy will be with us too. Just what I always wanted; to be stuck with my bully of an older brother and my spoiled brat of a younger brother for seven more years.
I was sorted into Ravenclaw. Do you have any idea how mortifying it was? Even Violante, the blood traitor, was put in Slytherin. All real Lillantines are. That's what Vander says. I thought for sure he would murder me before I even made it through the year. But avoiding him is a lot easier since I'm in a different house, which I suppose is a plus. Still, it's not going to be good when I go home for summer. It's not. Mother and Father know, and I have no idea what they think, but it can't be good. I don't think I'll be disowned, but I'm more than a bit terrified. Yes, I do fit in fairly well with the other Ravenclaws, so long as I keep my head down and my mouth shut, but wouldn't that be true for any house? And maybe I do like the tower... But no one should know that.
My second year was... I don't know. Vander ended up ignoring me all summer because he was horrified to discover that he's betrothed to some girl, so that was good, I suppose. I haven't really made any friends at all in school, not that I'm supposed to. No pureblood Slytherin would probably even talk to me, and Mother and Father would kill me if I dared make friends in my own house. I have to sign up for electives for next year, but I'm going to take what I want. It's not like anyone will know until I have to take my exams, and then it will be too late. I never took the train home, though... Some sort of neo Death Eater group attacked the station and I was badly injured. I ended up in the hospital. My family came and visited, of course, but somehow it was all my fault. It always is.
My third year was fine. The other Ravenclaw girls in my year are nice to me, even if it is out of pity. I know I'm not supposed to encourage their friendliness, but it's hard, especially when everyone else has someone to talk to. Even Vio has a real friend now, some Gryffindor girl. If I was a mean person, I would tell Mother and Father, and she'd never hear the end of it, but I'm not. Vander basically left me alone, and Cy was busy doing Merlin knows what all year, probably irritating everyone in Slytherin. Vio says Vander is besotted with Wendy and that they're probably snogging all the time now, so he shouldn't have as much time to bully me over the summer. That's good, I guess.
My fourth year was awful. I keep feelings things I shouldn't and it makes me feel sick in the pit of my stomach most of the time. I couldn't even handle the stupid Valentine's Masquerade. The masks reminded me of what happened at Hogsmeade and everyone was there dancing and snogging and it was horrid. I shouldn't even have gone. Vio is dating her Gryffindor friend, Ivy. I can't even look at them. It makes it all worse. ...Cyrus killed Ismene over the summer, and left her in my room like that. I started hitting and kicking him, and once I started, I couldn't stop. I spent the rest of the summer essentially locked up in my room.
My fifth year was... I don't know, it was at least better than the summer. Ceri Davies practically stalked me, but by the end of the year I was reluctantly calling her a friend, so there was that. I know she means well, anyways. I had to attend my half cousin Luke's wedding over the winter break, and right afterwards we had guests for dinner. I suspect I'll be seeing the guests again, from the mood at the dinner. If I haven't managed to snag a pureblooded boy, I know for a fact Father and Mother will have no qualms about doing it for me.
My sixth year was better. I have friends, people I can trust. I was engaged, but I won't be for much longer. I focused on my studies and not on my family for once, and felt much better for it. I'm not going home at the end of the year. I'm not going back to that house and the people in it, and I'm not marrying anyone over the summer. I'm staying with Ceri and I'm going to graduate next year, and none of them are going to stop me. I'm not theirs. Not anymore. I'm done.
My seventh year was good. I'm staying with Ceri now, and I'm focusing on my NEWTs. I stayed away from Cy. I stayed away from anything to do with my family in general. I don't think they even count as family anymore. I'll have to make my own with the people who actually care about me. I'm a little excited to graduate, now that there's no longer anything looming over my head.
I enjoy reading, playing the piano, discovering new things, praise, and being alone.
I despise mockery, sweet things, people who never stop talking, crowds, and feeling ignored.
I'm afraid of my family hating me.
My strengths are my quick brain and controlling my emotions.
My flaws are not standing up for myself and my tendency to look down on other people for being different from me.
I look like this.
My wand is a eleven and 1/4 inches, bendy, spiraled shaft, vinewood, augurey tail feather hair.
My pet is a n/a.
