PLAY BY: Andreja Pejic


GENERAL APPEARANCE: Blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin. Taller than most girls. Heels make her trip over.

Clytemnestra is that person staring off into space or gazing right into your eyes like she owns you.  Her appearance isn't really what stands out the most about her.  It's her presence.


TRAITS:

Creative
+ Clytemnestra has a knack for thinking up unique applications for spells, potions, or whatnot. Can't open that broom cupboard?  Why not just vanish the bolt?
- The applications Clytemnestra actually uses her creativity for aren't always helpful or productive.

Determined
+ Clytemnestra is determined and persistent in achieving whatever she sets out to do.
- While some of the things she sets out to do are worthy, like getting good grades or helping her house, others are not so great, like spreading gossip and humiliating people.

Shrewd
+ Clytemnestra has a natural intuition that makes her great at evaluating people's motives.
- She thinks anyone who can't read people as well as she does is stupid and judges them accordingly.

Deceptive
+ Clytemnestra often keeps her own counsel when it comes to her true opinions and beliefs.  There is really no point upsetting anyone, and it means she can keep a wider circle of friends.
- It also means she gets to hear a lot of things she wouldn't otherwise know about, and again with the gossip thing.

Intimidating
+ Clytemnestra isn't exactly sure why people are intimidated by her, but it's pretty obvious there are some people she unnerves.  She doesn't mind; at least they don't try to mess with her.
- Having people scared of you can really put a dampener on your social life sometimes.

Empathetic
+ Even though she can be really quite nasty sometimes, Clytemnestra does have the ability to empathise with others, assuming you can get her to show her emotions in the first place.
- It's hard to be a bitch if you feel bad for people, that's why Clytemnestra is so picky about her friends.

LIKES & DISLIKES:

+ Snakes - snakes are cool even for non-Slytherins
+ Orange juice - it's not pumpkin juice
+ Younger students - their stupidity is entertaining
+ The Greenhouses - what? it's nice
+ Formal Occasions - I just like dressing up, okay?

- Idiots who think doing Spice is edgy - nuff said
- The Dark Followers - what is their malfunction?
- Pumpkin Juice - how anyone thought this was a good idea, I do not know
- In fact, the whole pumpkin-flavoured theme going on in this place - what gives?
- The Forbidden Forest.  Just Don't Do It.

GOAL:  I think I might pursue a career in politics.

EARLY YEARS:

This is a story all about how my life got twist-turned upside down.  I'd like to take a minute just sit right there; I'll tell you how I got caught up in this whole damn affair.

So hi, my name's Clytemnestra.  We'll get the boring parts out of the way first.  I was born on January 23, 2012.  I'm an Aquarius and I don't believe in astrology.  My dad's a squib, my mum's a witch and I was five before I figured out other mums didn't use magic to do the dishes.

That's mostly because that was when I stared muggle primary and got some proper friends.  When I think about it now, I realise that Dad must have wanted us all to go to the muggle school just in case we turned out like him.  He was really lucky to even marry a witch, when you think about it.

So, anyhows, my early years were pretty boring.  I did ballet dancing, but pretty much every girl did, right?  I was in school plays, not that I can remember much about them.  I got lots of awards and certificates for being either clever or what I now realise was a total suck-up to the teachers.

And then I got my Hogwarts letter.  Thank Hecate, right?

HOGWARTS YEARS:

So Hogwarts was gonna be my new start.  I had it all figured out.  I was gonna be popular.

It did not work out that way.

My first year at Hogwarts, the school got overrun by Death Eaters.  Although, in retrospect, they were a lot less evil than I expected.  Nobody even got killed.  

In my second year, that's when people got killed.  Not that I saw or anything.  We'd been locked in our common rooms and I wasn't going out there to get hit by some spell.  Of course I heard later that a whole bunch of Junior Death Eaters and Potter's Army kids had done exactly that.  It's not my fault they're stupid.

So we finally got rid of the Death Eaters only for everyone to come down with this horrible virus.  Like chicken pox but magical.  Domenic and I had to stay at the school over the holidays because Daddy actually is purebood and nobody knew what might happen if he caught it.

Things have calmed down at the school lately and I'm glad to say I may not exactly be popular but at least I have good enough grades and I've never made a total fool of myself.
