Amelia McCarthy, or Amy grew up as a rather rambunctious tomboy. She is quick to anger, and has trouble making friends. She had gotten bullied for her mother having her without being married, and developed a fierce attitude in response. She learned that violence stopped bullies better than anything else. Her biggest goal is to do better than her mother, be able to live in a big city, and make some real friends.

Now Amy is an 11 year old girl, with short, red hair that ends at her chin and green eyes. She is short for her age, at 4’3” or 130cm tall and has an athletic build, weighing 65lbs. She has pale skin, and lots of freckles. She prefers wearing jeans, a T-shirt, and sneakers, when she is not in her school uniform.

Amy grew up on her grandparents farm in rural Ireland. Her mom had her when she was just 18, and Amy never knew her father. Occasionally her mother would tell her stories about how amazing and larger than life he was. He impressed her with things she never thought were possible. Other times she bitterly complained about how he disappeared without so much of a word, before he even knew she was pregnant.

Her mom got remarried when Amy was 5, and she had another baby soon after. Amy’s step father never treated her badly, but both parents showed favoritism towards the newborn, Amy’s little sister, Sophie. Amy started to feel like she didn’t belong to her own family.

One day, when Amy was 8, some of the bully’s attempted to ambush her, and Amy’s magic went haywire. Amy couldn’t explain it, but the grass around her caught fire, burning one of the boys, but not harming Amy. Soon after some strange men from the Ministry appeared. They healed all of the bully’s injuries, and erased their memories. They told Amy that she was special and didn’t do anything wrong, but that she needed to control her emotions and keep what happened a secret.

After that, the Amy tried to stay away from both the bullies, and the other students, so she wouldn’t hurt anyone else. Amy started feeling alone at home and at school.

Once she got her letter from Hogwarts, delivered by a professor, she was ecstatic. She would learn to control her weird abilities, and finally get to leave the boring small farm. Maybe she’d finally make a friend that wouldn’t run away from her. Her parents were supportive, and her mom encouraged her to follow in her father’s footsteps. He must have been able to do the incredible things he did because he was a wizard. She did warn, not to follow to closely, and remember her family is always here for her.
