Addy Potter

## Appearances

**Adriana "Addy" Potter** is a character in the *Rigel Black Chronicles*. She is the baby sister of Harry Potter and the daughter of Lily and James Potter.

## Profile

### Appearance

Addy could be say to look a bit like a reverse-Harry: she has James' blue eyes and Lily's red hair. According to James, she also has "Lily's chin", though the accuracy of this statement is questionable. Her hair also has curls, possibly something inherited from the Potter side.

### Skills

Addy is very smart (at least according to her parents). She can easily tell apart Harry and Archie even while they're disguised as each other, and she can recognize Sirius' Animagus form as Sirius. Even though her parents think she's occasionally wrong about her cousins (though she's not), they still believe she's quite intelligent.

## Relationships

### Harry Potter

Though Harry desperately wanted to, Harry and Addy did not get along well at first at all. No matter what Harry did, Addy always cried when she was being held or touched by Harry. Harry still fed her and helped out, but doing so was a difficult task for her. However, one day while Harry was babysitting her and trying to entertain her, Harry discovered that her sister loved the feeling of magic. She amused her sister by performing basic cooling and warming charms on a toy ball.

Upon discovering this, Lily explained that magical infants like magic and can sense auras, offering a possible explanation to why Addy was uncomfortable being touched by Harry - Harry had no aura. She later confirms this theory when she projects a false aura at the Parkinson's Gala and Addy welcomes her presence. Eventually, the effect died down as Addy lost the ability to sense auras.

Addy is one of the few people that can consistently tell apart Harry and Archie, correctly identifying Harry even when she's in disguise as "Rigel".

### Lily Potter

Overall, Lily is a very attentive mother and is extremely protective of her daughter.

From the moment Addy was born, Lily hoped that her daughter will be "an angel" and joked that Addy could be the sane one amidst the chaos that is the Potter-Black family.

### James Potter

James is also very affectionate towards his daughter. Unlike Lily, though, he thinks she'll be "a hellion".

### Sirius Black

Sirius enjoys babysitting Addy, and looked after her often during the days when Lily was making up for her time on maternity leave. He shamelessly attempted to spoil Addy, giving her a platinum spoon with her name engraved on the handle (likely a reference to the term "silver spoon", or being born with inherited wealth). He also claimed to bring her to the garden at Grimmauld Place so that she could "sun", and charmed her shoes to hiss like snakes "so she doesn't get eaten by my courtyard snakes". When she was about one, he gave her a sugar wand during lunch.

Addy is also able to recognize Sirius while he's in his Animagus form.

### Remus Lupin

Addy did not like Remus when she was first born, similar to her dislike of Harry. Harry theorizes that this is because Addy can read Remus' aura and can tell he is a werewolf. As her ability to read auras naturally disappeared, Addy began to adore Remus.

## Family Tree

*Note:* The following family tree may not display correctly on mobile devices.
For full sources, please refer here.

[1] Harry says in The Serpentine Subterfuge: Chapter 2 that her grandmother was Archie's great-aunt "or something". In Harry Potter canon, Dorea Black would be Archie's great-great aunt, so this relative could also be a grandparent of Sirius Black.

## Etymology

* Adriana is a Latin name that is derived from Hadria, or *dark*. It is the female form of Adrian.
* Adriana was chosen as a name as a nod to the late Diana Black.
* Rigel was the one who gave Adriana her nickname of "Addy", believing Adriana to be too mature while she was young. She vetoed "Ana", "Ree", and names like "Dana" and "Diane" which were too similar to Diana's name. Sirius only joked that Rigel was naming her after an adder (a type of snake). "Rigel" told Lily that Harry was the one who came up with it in order to get her mother to accept the name.
