physical description: When Meleny is at Hogwarts she wears her Gryffindor robes. She always wears the pendant her mother gave her when she turned 11 and first started Hogwarts. To her the pendant is a security item that she holds onto very tightly. Since her mother works a lot as an auror it helps her feel closer to her when her mother can't always be there. Various parts of her body are covered in scars since the majority of her family is evil. She does her best to cover them up because she's very self-conscious about them.
She dosen't wear any makeup except for the occasional eyeshadow and blush to hide the scars on her face. She currently wears muggle concealer products to hide the black eye she got before the start of her fifth year.
Meleny has long brown hair and blue eyes. She's 5'2 and weighs about 170 lbs.She always leaves her hair down unless she's attending a formal event. When she doesn't have to wear the Hogwarts uniform she wears muggle clothing such as jeans and t-shirts. Casual wear is her favorite thing besides her school robes. She's very athletic from playing Quidditch since her second year.
Originally her skin was slightly pale and maybe even tan but it's currently gotten paler from lack of sleep. The paleness makes her look like a ghost. It reverts back to a healthy state some days when she manages to with some miracle get a good night's sleep and after she's eaten a nutritious meal.

mirror of erised: Finishing her education at Hogwarts so she can move out of her father's mansion
Be less of a push over so people can't keep pushing her around
fears: -her father and her twin sister
-losing her mother and not being able to protect her
boggart: Meleny's main fear is her father and twin sister who enjoy making her life miserable. They both want to see her dead because she chose the opposite site. Also, Meleny fears that with enough persuasian she will end up betraying everyone and turn to the dark side.
dementor: Meleny's worst memory is when her father physically beat her for the first time when she was a fourth year. Her other two worst memories is when her father beat her again with help from her sister using the cruciatus curse just before her fifth year and a Quidditch accident her sister caused in her third year.
patronus: Meleny's happiest memory was when she met her muggleborn friends the McKennas the first time she went to Hogwarts. They were her first friends ever before she started making friends with students in her own house. Meleny's patronus takes the form of a dove because she is a pure soul and she refuses to let the people she cares about suffer.
relationship status: single
overall personality:Meleny is a very sweet and helpful person. She doesn't have a mean bone in her body and is always willing to help people if they ask her for it. She's quite pleasant to be around once you get to know her. Meleny is an even tempered person but even she has bad moods sometimes. She rarely raises her voice at people and would rather calmly and logically solve a problem than rushing into a duel.Otherwise she is very calm and her usual friendly self. She can also be a bit overprotective.
Another thing about Meleny is that she is fiercely loyal. Once she picks a side in something she stays loyal to that side forever. Betrayal and back stabbing is one thing she cannot stand. Meleny is emotional and sometimes isn't afraid to show she's scared, or in pain but when met with an enemy she'll try to decieve them and cover up her weaknesses which includes trying to hide the scar underneath her right eye which is the only one visible. Usually she's in control of her emotions and knows when and when not to show them but when she's scared or under stress the chain binding her emotions snaps and she becomes a total wreck.
Some of these traits might label her as a HufflePuff but she is really Gryffindor. She may not be brave but she's overprotective and a bit of a martyr. She values everyone else's lives over her own. When lives are at stake she doesn't care about getting in trouble but when it isn't absolutely necessary she avoids getting in trouble as much as possible.
As of late she's become less bubbly and is extremely paranoid after her incident. She is now afraid to be alone. She's become irritable with people who start trouble with her since she's been experiencing lack of sleep both from constant nightmares. She can't go to sleep unless someone is there with her which makes her fortunate for the dormitories. At home she can't sleep by herself. Meleny used to be too quick to trust people because nothing bad had happened to her yet to enable her to see some people's true colors. Now she's careful of who she trusts and sticks close to people who she's 100% sure won't cause her any harm.

family: Emery Aldridge, 40, Death Eater, in azkaban, former Slytherin {father}
Christina Aldridge (nee Kensington), 34, Auror/Order Member, former Hufflepuff {mother}
Jezebel Aldridge, 15, Slytherin, Death Eater Supporter {twin sister}
Valerie Kensington, 45, Auror/Order Member {aunt}
overall history: Meleny's parents Christina and Emery met at Hogwarts and started dating in their seventh year. Despite the fact that Emery had a love for the dark arts and desired to join Voldemort's ranks after he completed his education, Christina loved him. He wasn't as destructive and he claimed that he could protect Christina from any harm if she allowed him to join the Death Eaters. Christina was young and didn't think anything bad could happen from being involved with a Death Eater so she allowed him to pursue his dream, despite the fact she was going to join the Order.
A few years after they were out of school and married Christina Kensington found out she was pregnant the and doctor told her she was carrying twins. Along with Meleny inside the womb was another baby that would grow up to be the second person to make Meleny's life miserable. This was her twin sister Jezebel and she would eventually become Meleny's worst nightmare. Her father had named her and after Jezebel was born Meleny's life became a living hell. The last thing she needed in her life was someone else to degrade and put her down as if her father hadn't already done enough of that. The two of them were constantly at each other's throats. When she was younger, Jezebel just started out as bullying Meleny like the annoying bully at the school yard because she was 10 minutes older than her and wanted to flaunt her seniority. Basically Jezebel has a holier than thou attitude and it got worse when she discovered the Death Eaters when she got older. She came out first and the reason why Meleny is often naive and too trusting of some people is because she was born second. Later on, Jezebel found enjoyment in physically and pyschologically abusing Meleny. The reason for this because Meleny is a blood traitor and is considered a dissapointment to her father and sister because of her loyalties. She chose the Order over the death eaters. Her mother is an auror and every night she would come home with horror stories about what Voldemort is up to and the wizarding criminals she's helped catch.
When Meleny got her letter from Hogwarts on her 11th birthday. Her mother was ecstatic and took her to diagon alley to get her things but not until her father had a word with her about the right kind of wizard folk to mingle with. She had also given her a pendant for her birthday. All her life she had been indoctrinated with pureblood superiority and to stay clear of muggle-borns and blood-traitors. Meleny ignored his lecture and left with her mother.
As Meleny's hogwarts education progressed and Voldemort became more powerful, her father became suspicious when he found letters Meleny had been writing home to her mother discussing her life at Hogwarts. She had mentioned standing up for the underdog and intervening when a Slytherin called her friends the McKennas, a brother and sister from a muggle family, mudbloods and taking a course called Muggle Studies. It later dawned on her father that his own daughter was a blood traitor. That summer he beat her for betraying her heritage and not acting like a pureblood. That was where she got her first scar. After that, she ended up limping for a few days and a St Mungos healer had to come by to patch her up. She wasn't in that much bad shape to actually be sent to the hospital. She just spent a couple of days resting from her injuries.
Jezebel had heard about the letters when they returned home that summer and beat her very badly and she wasn't halfway recovered. Her father was still steaming so he helped and a few unforgivable curses were used on his part. Meleny returned for her fifth year with a black eye, bloodied, and a horrible pain in her ribs. The headmaster and her head of house were immediately notified as well as her aunt and mother at the ministry. She was sore for a few weeks because she had been under the cruciatus curse too long. Madam Pomfrey nursed her back to health the minute she arrived at school so she didn't see the sorting ceremony that year. All that's left now is for her to recover from her injuries and see what fifth year has in store for her. She still can't do much and has a slight limp whenever she walks. She can never walk upright again because the first beating messed up her leg. The pain from the cruciatus curse lingers in intensity most times of the day. She also suffers from horrible nightmares due to these incidents. After that incident Emery was arrested by the auror department and sent to azkaban.

secret phrase: bloody hell
Meleny had been sitting in the bleachers on the Gryffindor side watching her team. She was biting her nails nervously when she saw that Slytherin was practically annihilating Gryffindor. She saw an identical face cheering for the opposing team on the Slytherin end, her twin sister Jezebel. She then heard a horrible piercing scream of pain and noticed that one of the Slytherin beaters had taken out one of Gryffindor's chasers, Eliza Cunningham. She heard her say it was the reserve player's turn to step into the game and watched as she was led back into the castle by another student to the hospital wing.
Meleny ran down the bleachers and back towards the changing tents to change into her Quidditch gear. As she had left she noticed one of Slytherins chasers had ordered the beater to go after Gryffindor's famed seeker, Harry Potter. Meleny had played chaser for Gryffindor in her second and third years at Hogwarts but quit when Jezebel injured her during practice. She hoped she wasn't too rusty when she finally returned to the stadium and she prayed Gryffindor could hold their own against Slytherin for a while longer. Meleny had noticed that only one of Gryffindor's beaters were present and that wasn't good enough for her. She would hate it if Harry got taken out by the orders of a vengeful Slytherin Chaser or anyone from Slytherin for that matter. She had remembered seeing Giovanna Nero in a class or two and that girl was just as spiteful and mean as her own sister. Giovanna frightened Meleny as much as Jezebel and her father did.
Meleny knew that the game wasn't over until one seeker captured the snitch and even though Slytherin was ahead another bloody ten points she hoped Harry would come through in the end. She couldn't think of a time when he hadn't managed to bring their team to victory. She knew Slytherin liked to play dirty if her third year practicing with her sister was any indication. Jezebel had been playing beater at the time. Meleny found herself wishing she too was a beater for Gryffindor and she might have been able to rescue Harry from the Slytherin girl's beater's bat. She wouldn't have been late either. She felt bad that poor Seamus was left by himself to deflect bludgers. They had been down one chaser earlier but one beater wasn't enough to protect her and Gryffindor's other chaser. Meleny was upset that the other beater was missing during such a crucial game.
As soon as Meleny made it to the changing tents she removed her wand from the pocket of her robes and pointed it at an area in the tent."Accio Broomstick and Quidditch gear."she stated firmly and put her wand away. While she waited for her broom and gear to arrive, Meleny pulled her hair back into a neat ponytail while she waited for the items. She hoped it wasn't too messy since she did it rather haphazardly reflecting how much of a hurry she was in to return to the stadium. Finally the called for items arrived and Meleny quickly changed into her old Quidditch gear and grabbed her broomstick out of the air then put her wand in a safe place. She didn't know what else to do with it and it would take too long to put it away safely in her dormitory.
As soon as she was done getting ready she walked over towards the entrance to the stadium where the brooms came out from. She sighed deeply as she mounted it and flew out onto the pitch. She noticed Harry was hovering above where the chasers were and she glanced over at Giovanna. She hoped the other beater would get here soon or else they were doomed as if Gryffindor weren't in enough trouble already. Meleny tried to ignore the sound of the Slytherin jeers and the identical face of her sister Jezebel who's jeers for Gryffindor grew louder when Meleny arrived on the pitch.
