Personality[/b]: Anna-Jayne is intelligent. caring and extremely determined. She has a very logical mind and thrives on knowledge which she gains through hard work and dedication over natural ability. She has no problem with being herself no matter want position it puts her in and doesn't strive for popularity over a few close friends. She considers herself a realist although sometimes she can come off pessimistic, expecting the worst at times. Very rarely does she share an optimistic side. Anna-Jayne does have a kind heart but she's not afraid to speak her mind or make the occasional sarcastic comment which may lead her into the occasional fight with her peers. She is very protective and loyal toward her friends and loved ones, if you hurt someone close to her in any form she finds it hard to forgive and forget.

[b]History[/b]: Being the oldest of 4 kids Anna-Jayne felt she had to grow up quite quickly as her father traveled occasionally for work. Her childhood was particularly interesting. Her mother taught her to read at quite a young age and she had loved books for as long as she could remember. She was often questioning and learning so when she started school she, obviously, had a lot of love for it. She didn't really run into much bullying until she was about 9, when being smart wasn't really cool among her peers anymore. 

As time went on her father's travels became more and more frequent and it was lucky if he spent a full week with his family at a time, not including the 3 week break he'd get each year, so Anna-Jayne's grandmother moved in to help her daughter-in-law on the often occasion of her son's absence. Anna-Jayne's relationship with her grandmother only grew. Her grandmother would often tell her stories of her days at Hogwarts which, despite her grandmother often insisting they were truth, Anna-Jayne considered them made up stories until the letter came. Her grandmother proceeded to do anything and everything possible to get her granddaughter ready for her first year.

[b]Blood Status[/b]: Strictly speaking she is muggleborn, however her grandmother from her father's side is a witch

[b]Wand[/b]: 10 inches, Chestnut, unicorn hair core

Felix was the family cat but only Anna-Jayne was often the one who offered the cat the most care so Felix eventually became dubbed her pet.
