— Amy to Jamie
**Amelia Mariya Jordan** (b. 31 May), more commonly known as **Amy**, is a pure-blood witch of the wealthy Jordan family, the only daughter born to the late Xanthas Jordan and Daphne Sevchenko. She is also the younger sister of Archie, Greg and Jamie. The daughter of two abusive Dark Arts practitioners, Amy was raised as the only girl in an entirely male-dominated household, beholden to their belief that they were superior to other wizarding folk as a result of their rare pure-blood status.

## Biography

### Early life

"*The future you saw for us... the one with our boys? Now there is going to be another part to that future.*"
— Daphne revealing her pregnancy to Xanthas

### Hogwarts years

**Gregory Jordan**: "*Your own ambition never takes a holiday, does it?*"
**Amy**: "*l've said it once and l'll say it again: ambition is* not *a dirty word.*"
— Amy's enterprise throughout her teenage years

## Physical description

**Elliot Potter**: "*You're just — you're actually really skinny.*"
**Amy**: "*Is this an intervention? Bit crass, isn't it, to do it somewhere I can't escape?*"
— Discussion concerning Amy's thin figure

## Personality and traits

"*That man raised his girl to be such an insufferable little bitch.*"
— Regarding Xanthas and Amy's spoilt character

## Magical abilities and skills

"*Believe me when I tell you this: you don't know my sister until you've fought my sister.*"
— Jamie to Elliot regarding his sister's strong magical prowess

* **Magical aptitude**: Amy was commonly regarded as a gifted witch by both her peers and faculty, with her intellect being placed upon a higher pedestal than that of her brothers; she demonstrated a highly fastidious care and concern towards her magic, as well as a keen awareness of the power and relevance magic carried within society and what one could easily achieve through the mere craft of spellwork. Within her classes she was usually among the first to master any spell and was well capable of utilising incantations years beyond her educational level. It was heavily implied that she earned a high number of O.W.Ls and N.E.W.Ts, earning herself the alleged title of one of the smartest in the year alongside fellow pupils such as Ivory Cauldwell.

## Possessions

* **Hawthorn wand**: Amy's wand was presumably manufactured by Orland Ollivander and purchased from his shop in Diagon Alley prior to beginning her magical education. It was thirteen and three quarter inches long, made of hawthorn with a veela hair core. Wands made from hawthorn wood are said to be complex and intriguing much like their owners, adept to curses and most at home with a conflicted nature or with a witch or wizard passing through a period of turmoil.

## Etymology

**Amelia** is a German girls name, a blend of the medieval names Emilia and Amalia. In Latin, it means *"industrious"* and *"striving"*,but its teutonic meaning is *"defender."*

**Mariya** is a girls name of Arabic origin, meaning*"one who is pure".* However, the meaning of Mariya also has more than one different etymologies. It has same or different meanings in other countries and languages, with the Ukranian and Russian form meaning *"bitter",* which may allude to her mean-spirited personality.

**Jordan** is a unisex name derivative from the Hebrew word *"yarden",* meaning to descend or *"to go down."* This name is also taken from the river Jordan in the Middle East. At the time of the Crusades it was common practice for crusaders and pilgrims to bring back flasks of water from the river in which John the Baptist had baptized people, including Christ himself, and to use it in the christening of their own children. As a result Jordan became quite a common personal name.

## Notes

* Amy's theme song was *Out of It* by Fallulah.
* Amy and her brothers would have attended Durmstrang Institute, a school that does not admit Muggle-borns and teaches the Dark Arts, had it not been for their father not wanting them to stay so far away from home.
