Your Name: Meggles
Character's Name: Antonia Meredith Carlowe
Nickname: Tony (almost everyone forgets her full name; even teachers call her Tony)
Age: 16 (DOB: December 3)
Race: Human
Wand Type: Cherry, phoenix feather, 14''
Special Abilities: n/a
Hobbies: Horseback riding, soccer, Quidditch, swimming
Year: 6
Physical Description:
Tony is about 5'9'', lean and muscular from physical activity. She has long brown hair, but never styles it much more than a ponytail. She has dark, chocolate brown eyes (she calls them "mud brown"). Her skin is naturally tanned, and is varying degrees of tan throughout the year. She has several scars from childhood and sporting accidents, the most notable one where a Bludger collided with her knee when she was twelve. She usually has small scrapes or bruises -- she's never really one to sit inside a bubble.
Tony is very pretty naturally, but she doesn't recognize this. She doesn't ever wear make-up on a daily basis, usually only applying a very light layer for family dinners or other special events. Her hair remains unstyled and unlayered, rarely more special than a ponytail. She dresses casually in practical clothing that she can move comfortably in. If she can't play a sport in something, she usually won't wear it. Dresses are out of the question most of the time.
Personality:
Tony is friendly, outgoing, and competitive. She is mostly happy and doesn't really brood on anything trivial or insignificant. She gets along with most people unless they offend her or someone close to her. She tends to hold a grudge until someone has proven his/her worth. When she gets angry, she usually doesn't "snap", but rather falls back into the aristocratic aloofness that her parents pressed into her. She has a stubborn streak and is hard to sway once she's set on a path. She is very bright, catching on quickly to new ideas, and often gets into trouble because she is bored with her classes. Sometimes, she is rebellious just to be rebellious; she doesn't want her parents to think they have her under control, like her older sister. Tony consciously resists their idea of what a proper young lady should be.
Her closest friends are guys and she hangs out with boys most of the time. Girls are nice and all, but they tend to annoy Tony, who has always been a tomboy. She finds girls to be overly complicated and dramatic, even the sporty girls. As a result, she spends most of her time with guyfriends. Tony has always been accepted as "one of the guys" and other girls recognize this as well. She has a few girlfriends, but she's not exactly bosom buddies with any of them. She knows how to deal with every type of guy: shy ones, funny ones, arrogant ones, whatever. However, if a guy ever liked her, Tony wouldn't know what to do; she'd be oblivious or bewildered. Really, she doesn't see why anyone would want to date her or what attracted him.

History: Antonia Meredith Carlowe was born to parents Samuel and Maria Carlowe in northern England. The Carlowes are one of the oldest and wealthiest magical families in Great Britain, a fact that they are very proud of. They aren't necessarily against Muggles or halfbloods, but rather just very proud of their pedigree and heritage. They tend to be very old-fashioned, dressing for dinner, and using proper manners. They drilled their children into these habits growing up, and, despite her efforts to be like any teenager, Tony often falls back into these habits without realizing it. Tony is actually embarrassed by her family's aristocratic attitude and tries to hide or ignore her wealth. Sometimes even her last name embarrasses her.
She has one sister and four brothers. The Carlowe children (in order of descending age) are: Sylvia, Thom, Jason and Brendan (twins), Antonia, and Sean. As a child, Antonia spent most of her time with her older brothers, as Sylvia was too old to be a real friend. She grew up a tomboy, although she was always just tagging along with her brothers. She is closest to Brendan and Jason, as they are only a year apart in age. As she grew up, her brothers became more overprotective of her, although she proved that she could take care of herself. In turn, she is protective of her younger brother Sean, who is entering his fourth year at Hogwarts.
When she began Hogwarts, her sister was in her seventh year, Thom was in his fourth year, and the twins were in their second year. She had trouble making friends at first, because she was used to hanging out with her brothers, who had their own friends and didn't want to make time for their kid sister. She also didn't really get along with the girls in her year and sometimes secretly jinxed them out of annoyance. However, in her second year, she became friends with her Potions partner, a boy named -----. To this day, they are still close friends. In her second year, she found a second family with her Quidditch team, proving herself by playing through a game even after a Bludger cracked her kneecap.
Currently, she doesn't know what she wants to do after Hogwarts. She's tired of her family trying to plan her entire future and just wants to live life to the fullest extent.
