Bio

Aubrey Victoria van Andel (nee Chambers)

Date of birth: August 31, 1978
Physical description: Blonde hair
and blue eyes, she gives off the impression of being every male's fantasy, an empty-headed bombshell, which she detests.
Parents' Allegiance: Muggles. They feared their daughter's world, although it's unclear if they feared their daughter or feared for their daughter.
Personal Allegiance: Herself. Though in the last few months it has shifted closer towards the Order, even though she knows little about it.
How do people perceive this character: Now? Cold and a bit stand offish, especially to those who knew her before she left Hogwarts. While in Hogwarts she was personable, but she was so wrapped up in her new world, it took a long time for people to get to know her. Of course, since becoming a mother, her entire focus has become her son.
Greatest fear: To lose her son.
Greatest passion: She's cares deeply about education and the access to a good education; but her son's well being is her number one priority.
Aspiration: To be a good mother.
Greatest Positive Attribute: Once she puts her mind to something, she will get things done.
Biggest Fault: It takes her a long time to warm to people and she's quick to dismiss others.
Happiest Memory: Holding her son for the first time.
Most painful Memory: It's a toss up between Christian's death and finding herself in a Camp run by them/
Does your character value the purity of blood: No.
Is your character "pure-blooded," a "half-blood" or "Muggle-born": Muggle-born

Describe the character's personal history (however brief or extensive)

Aubrey grew up in a middle class family in the town of Burn, West Yorkshire, outside of York. Her father, Jacob, was a banker and her mother, Joan,a primary school teacher. She is the younger of two children. Her brother is three years older and named Elijah. She was a bright child, although not as outgoing as her elder brother. She had a few experiences of accidental magic, though none were very remarkable. Her Hogwarts letter came as a surprise, but her parents were happy to let her go.

She was sorted into Ravenclaw and took considerable interest in flying, although she did not make the Quidditch team until her fifth year, playing chaser. She did well in Transfiguration and Ancient Runes(receiving an E on both NEWTS). She got them a subscription to the Daily Prophet as a gift for their anniversary in her second. As a result, they grew more and more horrified with the events going on in the Wizarding World. After she left Hogwarts, they forced her to go abroad, fearing that she could be killed. She literally arrived home with her school trunk when they forced a suitcase and passport in her hand and brought her to the airport. The only magical items she had on her person was her wand and a few galleons.

She ended up in New York City with a widowed great-Aunt, totally unprepared for her new world, one without magic and ruled by technology. Living in the woman's rent-controlled apartment, she became the woman's companion. She also took on a series of dead end jobs to earn extra money. Wanting to get a better job and life, she began to spend most of her free time at her local branch of the public library, studying to earn her GED. At the library she caught the eye of a man, Christian van Andel, a wealthy businessman. Eventually he worked up the nerve to to talk to her and they struck up a friendship. The friendship eventually lead to marriage after her great-aunt's death. She did not tell him she was a witch.

Many of Christian's friends would mutter "Anna Nicole Smith" or "trophy wife" under their breaths, but Aubrey strove to prove them different. She obviously quit her job and earned her GED and began to take classes at Hunter College, in addition to doing charity work with various charities. During her years of marriage, she earned a degree in English. Five months ago, Christian was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and like many of those diagnosed, was given a poor prognosis. It was that night Christian asked her to promise him that if the pain ever got too much for him, to assist him in suicide. She agreed. Two months later, while he was sleeping, she fulfilled her promise. The day after Christian's funeral, she discovered she was two months pregnant. It took her three months to pull herself out of depression.

When returning to England, Aubrey's primary goal was to try to integrate herself back into English and Wizarding culture. She did contacted her parents. She is still sore on how they pushed her out of her world. The Chambers sent some money, but not enough, and there was little contact as the pair did not make any effort to see that she settled comfortably. They didn't even know she had been married as Aubrey didn't see it fit to tell them. Her brother, Elijah, does know about her marriage as he came to New York City on business and saw fit to contact her. They had lunch and he spied her ring. He never met Christian. One of her first priorities upon returning to England is to see Elijah. She had no interest in the social circles of the Wizarding World, but she wants to champion a cause, if only to get her life back on track.

In the past year, not only has she connected with an old friend in the form of Cho Chang, she has become romantically involved with Remus Lupin. It's an unconventional relationship, to be sure, but it works for the both of them. Aubrey gave birth to her son, Dominic, on September 7th, 2003 and could not love a human being more than she loves her son. Earlier in the year, just as she was about to return to work at Sara Prep, she was kidnapped by what she would later find out would be called the Libri where they forced her to make cauldrons by hand. Though she only spent a few scant weeks in the place, much less time than others, the experience has turned her slightly bitter.

Profession: Librarian for Sara Prep ~~Hopefully~~
