NAME: Angelina Johnson.
AGE: 18 / October 27, 1977.
HOUSE/YEAR: Gryffindor alumni, '96.
SOCIAL STATUS: While far from destitute, Angelina isn't nearly as well-off as many of the other students who've graced the halls of Hogwarts. Her parents, who both work blue-collar jobs in local shoppes near her home in London, would have been thoroughly unable to afford the tuition at Hogwarts College - thus, it was a lucky happenstance that Angelina's athletic ability was noticeable enough to get her a full scholarship to the elite school. However! Now that the golden years of her childhood are over, Angelina has found herself far too financially independent for her liking - life is tough for an out-of-work athlete, and how's a girl supposed to buy shoes without sufficient funds? Thus, Angelina's taken up a life of a temp, assuming jobs as varied as dog-walker and potato-peeler while trying to find a football team to take her on. Due to her lower-middle class background, Angelina's manners aren't quite up to par with many of her former peers - she has the tendency to use coarse vocabulary at times, and is well-versed in all the different ways one can call someone a 'wanker'.

APPEARANCE: Angelina's looks can, in one word, be summarised as feisty. Her dark brown eyes are always tinted with a rather mischievous light, and her smile, while quite friendly, also has the tendency to appear rather dangerous - after all, although Angelina may be a girl, she's a strong one, and she certainly won't hesitate to kick your arse if the situation calls for it. Built like the athlete she is, Angelina's body could very well be termed incredibly fit - she's got the rock-hard abs many girls yearn for, but she's also got the ridiculously muscular thighs that she believes to be her Achilles heel in terms of appearance. She's tall, standing at a fairly intimidating 5'8'', and she certainly won't hesitate to use her height to her advantage - Angelina quite enjoys looming over everyone else, especially stupid berks who don't know how to treat a woman right.

In terms of dress, Angelina has a fairly casual approach to things - she'll throw on whatever's lying closest to her on the floor (because closets are for overly neat ponces, thank you), and she doesn't particularly care how well she matches. Hot pink shirt with a pair of garishly yellow shorts? Yeah, whatever, she can deal. Her long, black hair's usually thrown back into a careless ponytail, because Angelina does have a fairly active lifestyle.

All in all, although Angelina Johnson may be fit - as one Lee Jordan can assuredly attest to - she's not the type of girl who spends hours working on her appearance. She eschews make-up in favour of a light moisturizer, and she just doesn't give a shite how put-together she looks. Angelina's one of the lucky girls who's been blessed with natural beauty and, although she doesn't bother to play up her features, her good looks can still be seen through her messy pony-tail and shabby outfits.

DESIRED PB: Meagan Good.

PERSONALITY: Admittedly, Angelina Johnson is quite the quintessential Gryffindor. She's loudmouthed, she's obnoxious, and above all, she's blunt to a fault. Although this may make it seem as though her people-skills are lacking, this is far from the truth - Angelina's a 'social butterfly' (but she's guaranteed to kick you in the nadgers if you call her one), and she absolutely adores parties, get-togethers, and anything that's comprised of a bit of social interaction.

While Angelina is indeed the outgoing type, she's similarly rather prone to getting in your face if she doesn't approve of your actions - being the outspoken sort that she is, Angelina certainly won't hesitate to tell a person exactly what she thinks of them. Of course, this tendency of hers does cause her to rub shoulders with people quite often, her method of fighting is more of a nasty verbal exchange than a physical fight. And Angelina does indeed have the repartee to win just such a verbal fight - she's more well-versed in curses than the entirety of the Ozbourne family, and she quite likes to use the lot of them as often as possible.

Coarse though Angelina may be, she's not the type to attack a person without actual provocation - in fact, if you do manage to remain on her good side, Angelina can be quite friendly, and if you take it a step further and manage to become one of her true friends, she'll be loyal to you until the very end. A typical Gryffindor, Angelina's sense of devotion for those she cares about is quite strong, and she'll defend her loved ones to the very death if the situation calls for it. Of course, becoming one of Angelina's close friends is in itself a rather difficult task; although Angelina has many acquaintances, she doesn't really trust people very easily - if you want her loyalty, you have to prove that you're worthy of it first.

Angelina's also rather competitive; her drive to win is one of the major facets of her personality. It was for this reason that she was made captain of the Gryffindor football team back in the day; a naturally aggressive person, Angelina excels at athletics that allow her to get physical. It helps her release pent-up tension in a fairly healthy manner, and thus, Angelina truly adores any and all sports. She's a very active girl, constantly running to-and-fro, never bothering to really rest (life's short, why waste it?), and although her short attention span hasn't allowed her to hold down a solid job, she rather enjoys temping at the various places she does manage to procure work. After all, she's young, and she may as well experience as much of life as possible before she develops arthritis and grey hairs, right?

Far from a passive, feminine sort, Angelina's boyish personality causes her to feel in extremes - she's either extremely elated, extremely pissed off, or extremely devastated. To add to this, Angelina's also an excessively moody character: her emotions jump all over the place, and she can go from being all smiles to seriously wanting to kick someone's arse. This can make her a difficult person to deal with, since the simplest thing can set off her temper, but if you know how to deal with her, Angelina's rage can also be quieted rather easily. Due to her tendency to be distracted at the drop of a pin, it isn't hard for someone to direct her attention elsewhere, thereby calming her down and relieving the tension of a situation.

DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS: Loud, coarse, and volatile - these three words encapsulate everything you really need to know about Angelina. She's a girl who likes to have a good time all the time, and really doesn't particularly care what others think of her determination to do so. And although Angelina may indeed be quite moody - she can jump from very happy to extremely pissed off in a matter of seconds - she is, generally, a friendly, outgoing type of person. She thrives in social settings, and loves to interact with any and everyone around her. After all, what's life without a bit of adventure, and what's adventure without friends to join you?

LIKES: football, blokes, hard liquor, Alicia Spinnet, Fred and George Weasley, the term 'wanker', winning, telling it like it is, parties, fast food, freedom, life without restrictions, her trainers, David Beckham, loud rock music, violent movies, practical jokes, Bliss, your MUM.

DISLIKES: Slytherins, liars, losing, fruity alcoholic drinks, being stuck at home, womens' magazines, dresses, high heels, sleazy berks, people who try to beat around the bush, tea, enclosed spaces, classical music, soppy romantic shite, lame puns, your MUM.

INSIDE SCOOP:
1. Although Angelina avidly maintains that she hates any and all things that are even REMOTELY romantic, she's a huge fan of the movie My Fair Lady. Yes, it's a musical, and yes, it's so incredibly sappy, but she can't help it! She's been singing along to the tunes since she was a wee four years old, and she really adores the character of Henry Higgins. She'd rather kill herself than admit this to ANYONE, though, and although she owns a video of the movie, she's peeled off the official label and scrawled over it with 'Newcastle vs. Man. U, 1995 Game'. She's a sneaky girl, that one!

2. It's not even that Angelina dislikes high heels. She really, honestly just CAN'T wear them! She's far from the graceful sort, and wearing four-inch stilettos only seems to emphasize that fact; whenever she slips her feet into a pair, she becomes a large, looming mess of limbs. Angelina'll fall all over the place, and generally look like she's more stoned than Ozzy Ozbourne.

3. Angelina HATES shopping in any and all forms. She's the type of person who doesn't see anything wrong in buying a 12-pack of Hanes underwear (what, they're COMFORTABLE!) and she's all for purchasing the first suitable item of clothing she sees. It doesn't particularly matter to her if it looks good - as long as it fits comfortably, she'll be happy. Thus, if she's ever forced into a shopping spree with one of her girl friends, Angelina'll mostly while away the time by seeking out the nearest restaurant and stuffing her face while her friends giggle over the newest pair of Prada shoes.

HISTORY: Angelina Johnson was born on October 27th, 1979 to parents Samantha and Roger. Roger, who'd always wanted a son, was sorely disappointed upon discovering that his wife had, in fact, given birth to yet another girl. Being the third child in a family that didn't have much money to spare, Angelina was forced to wear hand-me-downs all through her childhood - she didn't particularly mind, of course, because she wasn't the type to care about such things as clothing and appearance, but her tendency to get her clothes muddy did cause her mother quite a bit of consternation.

Although Angelina wasn't quite the son her father had wanted, her affinity for athletics easily made her his favourite daughter - although it was a fact that he did strive to hide. A naturally athletic man himself, and one that had captain'd his college's football team back in the day, Roger played a variety of different sports with Angelina, and was quite pleased when she excelled at football. He practised with her daily, whenever he got home from work, and this hard training did yield quite a positive result when Angelina was offered a full ride at Hogwarts College if she agreed to play on the school's team.

While Angelina didn't quite excel at the academics aspect of school, she did manage to help Gryffindor win many a game during her time at Hogwarts. In her final year, she was offered the captaincy of the House team, a fact that elated both her and her father. After her years at the college were completed, Angelina aspired to make reserve on a football team - a dream that has yet to really pan out. In the meantime, since she has to afford the necessities of life (ie: food, water, an apartment), Angelina has taken to doing a variety of oddjobs that help while away her free time. They range from the boringly normal to the completely insane, and she quite enjoys the randomness of it all.

SAMPLES


FIRST PERSON:
FUCK THIS! The internet's for ponces who have nothing better to do than sit around all day on their arses, yeah? I'm hardly one for shopping in ANY sense, but what's this shite about being able to buy things online? You lot too lazy to get out of your chair to properly try on a pair of shoes? How're you going to be able to torture your boyfriend in public by loudly asking if your arse looks big in front of a dozen or so sexually-frustrated women? Pathetic, really. What's the use in having a boy if you can't make him want to cry?

Now me, all I want is for you lot to stop TYPING at me and, instead, join me for a game of football. I'm dogsitting at this really fucking brill house in Liverpool, and I swear to god, the grounds here are twice the size of the field at Hogwarts - all I want to do is kick a ball around, and there's NO ONE here except the damn dog, and it's one of the poncey types that insists on sitting around grooming its crotch - the shite is that? I tried playing fetch, and the stupid thing just let the ball smack against its forehead.

I'm bored out of my mind - someone, anyone, hear my plea; save me from the inevitable obesity that'll result if I don't get off my arse and ON my feet!

THIRD PERSON:
Telemarketer. The job had sounded pretty fucking brill when she'd read the description in the newspaper - 10 pounds an hour, and all she had to do was phone up everyone on the list and politely ask if they'd like a subscription to Chimney Sweepers Weekly. Easy enough, yeah?

Except Angelina had forgotten one tiny little thing - she just wasn't good at the whole 'polite' thing. In fact, she was downright terrible at it. Cursing profanely at one Judith Summers, who'd attempted to explain that Angelina should kindly go eff herself, she slammed the phone down angrily. She'd made it one-third of the way down the list and, although she hadn't managed to secure one subscription, she had managed to call every individual who picked up the phone a 'sodding wanker.'

Sighing, Angelina hazarded a glance at what she'd termed 'the fucking list of bleeding DOOM.' Alright, thirty more names to go. She could do it, she really fucking could. She picked up the phone, put on a smile, and, "Oh, hello! My name is Angelina Johnson, and I was just calling to notify you of a wonderful sale that - oh, oh, FUCK you, you twat!"
