‏‏‎ ‎I.ASTRA NORRICK
Image
--
First-born daughter and second child of Hyperion Norrick,
and Morella Rogers Norrick, a match of opposites seemingly
made in heaven. The fiery and brave yet reckless Auror and
the level-headed but anxious researcher of both magic and
muggle things formed a union much like a covalent bond:
strong and unyeilding. From this, Astra and her elder brother.


backstory
Reducio
Both born in St. Mungo's Hospital and split by two years,
the siblings were reared with one foot in the magical world
and the other out. Morella, a muggle-born witch, made
sure her children were not so immersed in the world of
their father, from a prolific and historic wizard-born
family, that they were unable to function outside of it.
Roderick and Astra therefore led fairly normal lives to the
viewpoint of non-magic society, going to primary school
and participating in sports such as football and basketball.

Being an Auror of much skill, Hyperion was away from
home for a large portion of Astra's childhood. His absence,
coupled with the unruly and disobedient nature both
Roderick and Astra shared put much stress on Morella.
However, Hyperion's eldest sister and her family were
always nearby. Astra Norrick Lerian, for whom our own
Astra is named, was like a second mother to the children,
and her own brood like elder siblings. Her closeness gave
Astra and her brother an initiation into the more magical
side of their heritage. Astra was especially attentive to her
aunt's casual use of magic, soaking in the exposure with
enthusiasm. Not only did they spend much time in the
magical world via relatives, they were also exposed to a
great many Muggle things by their maternal grandfather,
Elijah Rogers.
personality
Reducio
The aforementioned unruly and disobedient nature of
Astra Norrick was certainly something she got honest, a
strong trend of this being present in the Norrick family and
even in Eli. From these influences seemed to come her
mischevious and cheeky nature. Her creativity seems
to know no bounds, least of all in the departments of
problem-solving and pranking schemes. Compiled with
a wit and affinity for learning that certainly came from
her mother, the young girl is certainly a force to be
reckoned with intellectually. However, with a temper to
match her fiery red locks, she truly is a tempest when the
coals of her fury are stirred. Determination and ambition
to be like the strong, independant wixen of her family
burdens her psyche incredibly. Keen mind, fierce will,
creativity and recklessness makes for an interesting
but dangerous combination in this viper.
first instance of magic
Reducio
While Astra may be little shy of a bull in a china shop,
she's by no means stupid nor without grace. Her first
instance of magic came at seven years old, while she and
Roderick were, as most siblings are prone to do, having
a tussle. Left unsupervised for not even fifteen minutes,
the children were bored of sitting in the house awaiting
their mother's return, and so decided a game of tag was
in order. Tag soon turned into an all out brawl, and as
Astra ducked a grab, Roderick's head made good friends
with the corner of the dining table, and Morella's most
precious, most favorite teacup made a quick exodus from
the stained wood towards the vinyl flooring. Roderick,
passed out and of no good use, would have been near
enough to grab the thing, and as it was Astra would never
make it in time to save the precious dish. She dove, her life
flashing before her eyes- It was floating.

The teacup hovered shakily in midair as Astra's wide blue
eyes were fixed on it, desperate and shocked. She didn't
dare move for the remaining five minutes they were home
alone. Morella entered the house to the sight of her son
slowly coming to and bleeding and her daughter
performing rescue magic. Needless to say, it was an odd
evening in the Norrick house, admonishment punctuated
by elation and pride at Astra's good showing.

Wandlore
Holly Wood
Image
Phoenix Core
Reducio
Holly is a rarer type of wand wood and traditionally considered protective; it works most happily for those who may need help overcoming a tendency to anger and impetuosity. Wands made from Holly wood also often choose owners who are engaged in some dangerous and many times spiritual quest.

Holly is one of the woods that vary the most extremely in performance depending on the wand core, and it is well known for being difficult to team with phoenix feather, as the wood’s volatility conflicts oddly with the phoenix’s detachment. Should such a pairing of phoenix and Holly find its ideal match, however, nothing and nobody should stand in their way. Well-suited for those prone to emotional outbursts; often selects a master who must undergo a perilous quest.
33.9 cm / 13.3 in
Bendy, cheeky, malicious
Perfect for wizards that take it on exciting and amusing adventures
Reducio
This was one of the rarest core types. Phoenix feathers were capable of the greatest range of magic, though they may have taken longer than either unicorn hair or dragon heartstring cores to reveal this. They showed the most initiative, sometimes acting of their own accord, a quality that many witches and wizards disliked.

Phoenix feather wands were always the pickiest when it comes to potential owners, for the creature from which they are taken was one of the most independent and detached in the world. These wands were the hardest to tame and to personalize, and their allegiance was usually hard-won.

Made by Garrick Ollivander, these wands are the rarest type of wand core. They have the ability to produce the greatest range of magic and are known to act of their own accord, a trait that many witches and wizards are not fond of. Phoenix core wands are also known to be the most finicky when choosing their wizard and can be difficult to master. These wands are often attracted to enduring or stubborn wizards.

Astra Norrick ∆ First Year ∆ House Slytherin
FAMILY
I M M E D I A T E
Reducio
Astra's father, a Gryffindor Alumnus and senior Auror for the Ministry of Magic. Hyperion is nothing if not brave, though also ambitious and loyal to his family. His job requires a lot of his time, but Rion still makes sure to spend as much time with Asa and Rod as he can. He and Morella have a healthy relationship and though they have their issues, they still work to be the best parents they can. He is persistent to improve himself and be the best leader and father he can be.


Image
Hyperion Norrick
DOB: March 7th, 1982
FC: Rupert Young
Image
Morella Norrick
DOB: December 20th, 1983
FC: Charlotte Riley
Astra's mother, a Ravenclaw Alumna and "scientist of magic." Belonging to a private research project funded by investors, Morella and her team work to figure out how magic and Muggle electronics could function together. Progress is slow... and sparky. Morella's best trait would be her curious mind, the thing that attracted Rion to her in the first place. Morella is independent and possesses strong leadership qualities, and though she is stern she is also quite loving to Rod and Asa.
Astra's brother, a Gryffindor and annoyance (she says this with love). He's brave and bold and all that but prideful and a braggart. He has his redeeming qualities, like the loyalty he has to Asa and his occasional intelligence. He's very easygoing and actually a pretty good older brother, except he stops contact with her at random while they're at Hogwarts. Though they fight like all siblings, if you hurt one you better believe both are coming at you with the intent to kill (well, severely injure, but still).


Image
Roderick Norrick
DOB: September 29th, 2010
FC: Logan Shroyer
P A T E R N A L
Reducio
Image
Rodney Norrick
DOB: September 3rd, 1950
FC: Jeremy Irons
Astra's grandpa, a Gryffindor Alumnus and retired Healer. Not known for his patience but for his care, the man worked tirelessly to save lives in the Dan Llewellyn Wing at St. Mungo's. His integrity precedes him and he's a straight-shooter. Good grandpa, though he spoils his grandkids by letting them run buck wild, much to Rion's chagrin. He has quite the stories to tell of his childhood but rarely talks about his time at St. Mungo's.
Astra's grandma, a Ravenclaw Alumna and retired Matron at St. Mungo's. A no nonsense type woman, she is caring but not in the most obvious of ways. Her actions are not always understandable but Marisol tries to do what's best for all parties. Heavily analytical but still in tune with her emotions, she is very balanced and put together. Her appearance is of heavy importance to her and she strives to look her best no matter the occasion, hence why she wouldn't let Astra use a recent picture of her but instead gave one from when Aces, Seren, and Rion were kids.


Image
Marisol Norrick
DOB: January 11th, 1955
FC: Orla Brady
Image
Astra "Aces" Lerian
DOB: March 12th, 1978
FC: Josephine (Otograf)
Astra's aunt, Ravenclaw Alumna and Unspeakable in the Death Chamber. Also Astra's hero, namesake, and second mother. Aces was a prankster just like her niece, a hatstill between Ravenclaw and Slytherin. She's sarcastic but also very genuine, and despite her carefree nature she's a responsible and serious person when you get down to the nitty gritty. A fighter by nature she will never hesitate to defend herself, her family, and her rights.
Astra's uncle-in-law, a Slytherin Alumnus and accountant. Analytical and sharp, he's a lot more serious than his wife but still knows how to have fun. With a silver tongue and a charming presence, he was known as the Slytherin's Slytherin during his Hogwarts days, through well-liked nonetheless. Rather squeamish about fighting, he tends to mediate instead. Lenient mindset on pranks so long as no one gets hurt.


Image
Raymond Lerian
DOB: August 2nd, 1978
FC: Timothy Omundson

Image
Elliot Lerian
DOB: April 1st, 1998
FC: Aidan Turner
Astra's cousin, Ravenclaw Alumnus and Novice Cursebreaker. Elliot is the older of the Lerian twins, both holding the same love of mischief that their mother and baby cousin possess. Elliot is definitely the more adventurous of the two, more intense. With a sharp wit (though not sharper than his brother's) but a greater thirst for knowledge and inborn restlessness, he's prone to disregard authority and do things his own way.
(Astra would like to mention that she told Elliot to smile when taking this picture, but he didn't listen)
Astra's older cousin, Ravenclaw Alumnus and Broadcaster. Jesse is the younger of the Lerian twins but never fell in his brother's shadow. With the same sharp wit and charming air as his dad, Jesse learned quickly that words were his greatest asset, specifically in the art of telling news, whether that be gossip or extremely serious events. While at Hogwarts, he was a commentator likened to Lee Jordan by staff, but sports was not the route for Jesse. A sight less bold than his brother, Jesse tends more towards loopholes than outright defiance.
(Astra would like to note that she also told Jesse to smile, and he did whatever the heck this is)


Image
Jesse Lerian
DOB: April 1st, 1998
FC: Orlando Bloom

Image
Maria Lerian
DOB: June 14, 2002
FC: Ali Michael
Astra's only female cousin, Hufflepuff Alumna and current student at WAVAD. She's studying photography. Much more cynical that your average badger, Maria is quick to point out that her diligence and loyalty are what make her Huffle. Blunt, serious, but still charming and with a light side, Ria is a sister-esque figure for Astra despite the age difference. They are often found plotting escapades to rival those of Elliot and Jesse.
(Astra would like to say that none of her cousins are very cooperative when it comes to pictures)
Astra's aunt, a Hufflepuff Alumna and a Dragonologist in Slovakia. Seren is a kind and compassionate soul, a noble Huffle and proud member of the badger house. With a sunny disposition and kind words for all she's a well liked person. Do not cross her family or her friends, however, because like a badger of the wild her wrath is fierce and hardly anything can stop it. Seren is passionate about her work and incredibly knowledgeable about magical creatures of any sort. She prioritizes her family above all else, however, always making sure to stay in touch with her siblings and nieces and nephews no matter how busy.


Image
Seren Foret
DOB: August 26, 1979
FC: Miriam Leone
Image
Donald "Don" Foret
DOB: June 27, 1977
FC: Richard Speight Jr
Astra's uncle-in-law, a Gryffindor Alumnus and the "maintenance guy" at the preserve. Like a Muggle zoo maintenance technician, Don feeds the dragons, checks up on barriers, fixes enclosures, runs tours, does a little bit of everything. Happy-go-lucky and just plain fun it's hard not to smile when Don is around. He loves kids and is a family man, always putting Seren and Cedric's well-being and safety before that of anyone else, including himself. He was a "born for the big screen" in his words and though he never got there he brings the spotlight wherever he goes with little stints like this one, where he and his sign were immortalized through photography.
Astra's cousin, a former Hufflepuff at Hogwarts and current Durmstrang student. He doesn't talk to Asa much, but isn't unfriendly. She finds it strange he was a Huffle since he's so cold and distant even when they do see each other, and the Durmstrang life seems to fit him much better. Roderick loves hanging out with Cedric, though, as the two are very close from when the Forets still lived in London. Cedric is highly devoted to his family but also values independence. He's a bit of a free thinker and has some unconventional ideas about magic, but no sinister ones yet.


Image
Cedric Foret
DOB: April 26, 2007
FC: Kyle Ellison
M A T E R N A L
Reducio
Image
Elijah "Eli" Rogers
DOB: February 14, 1947
FC: Sam Neill
Astra's grandpa, a retired financial and personnel manager for a large retail company. He and his wife Georgia are Muggles and had one magic child and one non-magic child. Eli is a very laid back and go with the flow type fellow, so he was frankly unbothered by the whole idea of witches and wizards and wands. He simply told Morella not to become like Darth Vader (he's a giant nerd.) Eli is young at heart. Asa and he talk about Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Lord of the Rings, and the like for hours over phone or in person. He loves sharing old Muggle stuff with her, like classic bands or iconic items like the lava lamp. He is probably Asa and Rod's favorite grandpa (no offense, Rodney.)
Astra's grandma, formerly a business loan broker. Astra never got to meet Georgia, but Morella and her brother Matthew loved her. She was a good mom, though stressed often, which is probably what caused her heart attack. Eli also loved her dearly and was devastated when she passed. Friends and family say she was as beautiful inside as she was out, though Eli claims she'd argue with a signpost if it suited her.
