The Character
Name: Amber Vladmir
Nicknames (if any): Amburger
Age & Year: 16, 5th.. (if allowed) if not, i dont kind, ill be anything.
House: Slytherin
Blood: Pure
Wand: 11 Inches, Holly, Unicorn hair.
Personality:
Amber is a perfectionist first and foremost. From her first memory she has always followed after her brother and she naturally exclusive. She was almost seven years old before she spoke to someone outside of her family, though not because she was not able to but because she didn't feel the need. Her first instinct is to stay quiet and analyze things, whether it be a situation or a person, which she has a uncanny knack for. She does not speak unless she feels the urge and is not known for making idle conversation. She can spend hours without speaking a word to anyone and when she does speak it is usually a cruel or tart remark that cuts close to home.
To her, emotions are something that make life messy so hers are naturally suppressed. Logic rules supreme in her mind and things must be dealt with rationally in order to promote perfection. Decisions are not made on the basis of emotion. This reliance on logic can make Amber appear heartless. She has little patience for compliments or encouragement, unless they come from Arawn. She in turn, rarely gives compliments to others, thinking they should be proud of their own work without her having to waste time by pointing it out.
Often times the cold hearted people accuse her of being, Amber looks at nothing but her family and her house, though not always those in it, as the most important things in life. everything else can be sacrificed or used in order to benefit the forementioned two.
Appearance:
Eyes: Amberhas light blue eyes with a thin rim of a darker blue around the outsides. They are wide eyes that are fringed with long, slightly curled lashes. Amber's eyes usually have a calculating look to them and rarely show her emotions. They are a very bright blue and stand out as the first thing people notice when they look upon her.
Hair: Brown, it is slightly wavy, worn in a side fridge.
Physical Description:
Just beginning to cross that threshold from child to young woman, Amber has the beginnings of a figure showing through her form. Her skin is like ivory with a hint of pink, with a creamy and lush complexion. She has slim hands and feet, with slender fingers topped with nails that are well cared for. Her nose is small and could be called perky, her lips naturally a pale pink and full.
History:
Two hundred and fifty plus years of Vladmir's are behind her. The staggering history of the muggle branch of the line is nothing in comparison to the magical branches of the tree. Throughout Wizarding history it seems as if a Vladmir has had their finger in everything notable that has happened, even if it was behind the scenes financing the operation.
The Vladmir coat of arms is a fist clenching four wands, much like the muggle version clenching five arrows, with the family motto below it. Magi, Puritas, Furtivus (Magic, Pure, Furtive).
Reynold Vladmir and Evelynn Awning were far from a fairy tale marriage. Both purebloods, they attended school together with Evelynn two years below Reynold. Though the two were friends, they were far from romantically interested in each other - so imagine their horror when one day their parents arranged a marriage between the two of them. As respectable purebloods, they both agreed and put on the perfect, stoney facade that is expected of all high-class citizens.
Even though both families were old money, Reynold maintained a job working as curator for a wizarding museum in Glasgow, while Evelynn stayed home. Despite the two being far from in love, their marriage was a peaceful one built on friendship - and perhaps somewhere along the way, they grew to care for each other more. Whether or not they did will forever be up for debate, since neither would admit it if it were true.
Less than a year after the month after the two returned from their lavish honeymoon (six months in South America!), Evelynn announced her pregnancy. It was a difficult time for both, as she experienced many complications, leading up to an exhausting twelve-hour labor one stormy morning in November. The end result was a bouncy baby boy whom they named Arawn, born
in the midst of the nastiest storm of the year and the middle of the night.
A few months before Arawn's first birthday and during the treatments he was receiving for his neurofibromatosis Evelynn announced that she was pregnant with their second child. The time was stressful for all the members of the small family and thankfully, this pregnancy was less complicated than the first. On May 15th, Evelynn went into labor again and after a mere eight hours, bore a baby girl whom she named Amber , a small pale child who even as an infant rarely cried. Evelynn was deemed incapable of having more children, but the couple was not heartbroken. They had a boy and girl, exactly what they had hoped for.
Amber was a quiet child from the start, she preferred to watch people and would fuss only when left alone for long periods of time. She was most content when she was laying on a blanket near her brother, watching everything that he did. As soon as she was able to crawl she began following him around the house, mimicking everything he did. When he began his studies at age five, he took it upon himself to teach her everything he knew and she absorbed like a sponge.
It was a more difficult experience, however, when Amber began her own studies as she had decided right off that the tutor was unworthy her time and she refused to speak to him. She had no playmates outside of her brother, as she treated the other children with the same comtempt that she did her tutor. Lying came naturally to her and her need to protect her brother outweighed her affection for her parents and she felt no guilt in lying to them about things for him. Early on, she discovered a certain pose or look would effect adults in a certain way and she began taking advantage of that immediately.
To label Amber as manipulative would be an understatement. The practice she got from her parents, tutors and various nannies that filtered in and out of their lives. The day that Arawn got his Beauxbatons letter could easily be considered the most horrid day of her young life. Upon learning that she would be staying home with her parents, Amber punished them and stopped speaking to them. After Arawn left, she spoke to no one and spent hours writing her brother letters to pass her time. She spent almost a full year in her room, forcing the tutors and her meals to come to her, only emerging for Christmas and Easter, when Arawn came home. He made sure to teach her the levitating charm, something that caused her no end of delight and her tutors an endless supply of headaches for the next few months. Amber had still not started speaking to her parents, convinced they had separated the siblings out of spite.
If Amber were to be honest with you, which would be doubtful at best, she would tell you that she spent the year in a perpetual nightmare state that she would not receive her own letter and would spend the next seven years apart from her brother, whom she looked upon as a god. Her father was a distant figure that paid her little attention and her mother was fussy, at least in Amber's opinion.
When Amber received her own Hogwarts letter, she was relieved to say it simply. She would soon be joining her brother, which she considered to be her rightful place in life. The train ride to Beauxbatons was an interesting experience though she was mortified at the sort of people she was being forced to associate with. She finally spoke to her parents at their parting on platform nine and three quarters, giving them an icy and emotionless goodbye.
