— Choi Min-Jee, to Ava Grace Everleigh 1948

**Ava Grace Everleigh** (born 18th of February 1952) is a British-Korean half-blood witch. She was born in and has always lived in London together with her parents as an only child. Often unhappy with the fact she did not have siblings to play with growing up. Her mother of Korean descent, **Choi Min-Jee**, is a muggleborn. **Andrew Everleigh**, her British father, who is a wizard works a mid-level management job at the Department of Magical Games and Sports, while her mother is an artist who works from home. Ava illustrates her thoughts and creates little artworks of them and thus inherited this creativity from her mothers side. She is seen often writing small simplistic literary works and with this she is a bit of a perfectionist.

As a small kid, Ava realized the big and impactful aftermath of the **Second World War**. Especially the bombing which had left many houses in her area in ruins. The streets of London, where she was growing up in were still being built up. During these reconstructions, **her father Andrew** felt the strong responsibility to use his magical powers for muggle benefit. He had brought up the idea to create a safer playground in the neighbourhood aswell and made this possible with the help of a few other parents. Ava and her **childhood friends** could always hangout together there, in stead of on the eery streets. Many of her greatest memories were made at that specific playground. Because of her father she could remember her childhood growing up in London as a safe and fun time, rather than scary and gloomy. She would often brag about her father to the other kids, because to her he felt like a superhero. After all she could not wait any longer for her **invite to Hogwarts** to learn more about witchcraft, so she could make him as proud of her as she was of him back then.

In **1963,** when she was aged 11 she got the invitation to enroll at **Hogwarts**. This specific school meant for students in **Witchcraft and Wizardry** fit perfectly with what Ava had wanted. Ever since she was little she had dreams of becoming a succesful witch. There she got sorted into house **Slytherin**.

## Personality

### The bigger person

Ava grew up **a bit poor,** often getting picked on for not having the newest clothes and toys when she was little. Her semi ruined house was made fun of by the richer kids of the neighbourhood most of the time. Because of this Ava learned how to be **the bigger person** in situations like this, so she promised herself to never bully another person. She then stood up for herself and others more, making sure no one would feel left out like the way she had felt before. Although, she had bad days where she could cry for hours thinking about how her life would differ if she came from a richer family.

### Friendly & Caring

Ava was taught to always **help others first** by her parents. When her father was helping with the reconstruction of the neighbourhood, her mother helped those who suffered from psychological issues because of the past war. Ava looked up to her parents and made sure she would always be open to be someone's **helping hand**. She became a friendly and caring girl. But you have to approach Ava first for her to become more interactive with you. She is **an ambivert**, which in her case means that she would not randomly start a conversation with a stranger, but would gladly reply to someone if they would call for her for help. She is easygoing with others and if someone wants to be her friend she will never reject them. Ava likes having different kinds of people around her and a variety of opinions to listen to.

## Physical appearance

### Facial features

Ava has gotten most of her features from her mother's side. She had the same **dark black hair**, which had a bit of shine to it whenever she was close to any light source. But her eyes were much brighter, much more like her father's hazelgreen eyes. She had a mix of both having her **emerald green eyes**. That would turn into a golden colour when she looked directly into the sun, which people would often point out to her. Her face is very slim and she is often praised for that, as it's a beauty standard especially among her mother's side. She had small plump lips which form into a **heart-shape** when she presses them together.

### Clothing & Accessoires

Ava liked wearing **small types of jewelry**, such as silver rings and necklaces with tiny hearts on them. She would often choose what matched her outfit the most. She liked dressing up nicely and was very conscious about the way other people would see her. Her hair would never be seen messy, her make-up was naturally done and she wore her **accessoires** at any time. She had a range of skirts in her closet, which she matched with longsleeved tees. Her favourite outfits were the **autumn** ones, she would then wear a **black dress** combined with a **light-grey sweater** underneath which would give her a **cute** look.

## Powers & abilities

### Spells, charms & transfiguration

Ava was very excited to finally start learning about **spell casting**. She would be attending every lesson at **Hogwarts** she could and try her best at every spell that was being taught to her. Because of her **shyness in her skills** she would often first look at what her classmates were doing before she would get a first on casting her own spells. But this caused no harm, since this actually helped her doing her spells right after a few less tries. During her time at Hogwarts as of now, Ava has added the following spells to her own **arsenal**:

* Wingardium Leviosa
* Match to Needle
* Lumos
* Nox
* Epoximise
* Periculum
* Colloshoo
* Cistem Aperio
* Aberto
* Rictusempra
* Erecto
* Alohomora
* Colloportus
* Water to Rum
* Flintifors
* Lumos Solem
* Scourgify

### Potioneering & Herbology

During the first few lessons of **potion class**, Ava learned that she quite liked brewing different mixtures using a variety of weird ingredients. She found it fascinating how such practice could lead to such big effects and how powerful potions could be. She developed a liking for potion brewing and became quite **confident in her skills**. She even gave extra lessons to students who missed class on for example the Cure for Boils potion. She has learned these potions so far:

* Cure for Boils
* Wiggenweld
* Sleeping Draught
* Herbicide

### Flying & Apparition

Ava flew a few meters high during her second flying lesson, much better than her first when she did not even get the opportunity to get up in the air at all. She likes flying but still is a bit scared to go to greater heights. Maybe with time she will get more used to aviation and will be able to fly up even higher.

## Possessions & Belongings

### Magical possessions

**Ava's Wand:** Ava owns a wand made with **cherry wood**. **Its length is 10¾ inches, with a dragon heartstring core and quite bendy flexibility**. Which fits her ideally because of her pure strength in mind to do her spells exceptionally well with efficiency.

### Personal belongings

**Ava's notebook:** Not only does Ava use this to write down all of her notes in class, she also often writes **small simplistic literary works**. She illustrates her thoughts and creates **little artworks** of them. Ava inherited this creativity from her mothers side. With this she is a bit of a **perfectionist**, thus she keeps these to herself mostly.

## Relationships

### Students & Friends

##### Appius Nessus Malfoy

If Ava was asked to describe her **list of friends**, she would name **Appius** first, that's a certain. He made a big impact on her being the first stranger to actually approach her when they met at **Gringotts**. He then invited her over to come play at his **mansion**. She then realized how much bigger of a house he had and that he was certainly more wealthy than Ava and her parents. Ava had always thought that the richer kids would be like spoiled bullies towards her, but her friendship with Appius had changed her mind about that. She then bonded more with him during their time on the **Hogwarts Express** and later at Hogwarts while attending multiple classes together and during freetime around.
