Azelma is the eldest child of Anthony and Megan Goldstein (neé Jones). She has three younger siblings, her twin brother Aaron who is no less than six minutes younger than her, as well as Luke and Helena. Azelma began attending Hogwarts in 2013 and was sorted into Ravenclaw. She left the school two years ago and is now an alumni.
Throughout her life Azelma has shone with the confidence of the eldest child, yet she was never spoiled by her parents. Being a twin meant that she and her twin brother, Aaron, had to share Anthony and Megan’s newfound fascination for parenthood between them. However Azelma has never resented her parents or her twin for having to share; in fact it only made the bond between her and Aaron stronger. She was always quite a personality around Hogwarts and one of the most confident girls in the school. In this case at least she had a right to be. She was smart, happy and caring so nobody had much of a reason to refuse her thirst for a good time. Despite Aaron’s arrogance, the siblings are relatively similar in personalities. Having a constant companion since birth has encouraged the twins to have a playful personality. Both are the happy go lucky type and take life one step at a time. Azelma has always had a fascination for life. She takes it in her stride to do things in the best way she possibly can which is why she has always thrived both in and out of Hogwarts. She is incredibly inquisitive and likes to know things, especially things that involve her siblings. Luke, her younger brother, is the biggest victim of her curiosity. She constantly questions him about his love life which usually ends on the subject of Dominique Weasley. While this may be seen as nosey, it is merely harmless curiosity and Azelma always has good intentions. This keen nature has also helped her academically. Her thirst for knowledge was the main reason why she was constantly near the top of most of her classes, especially charms and potions. In class her hand would shoot up like a rocket every time, whenever the teacher asked “now, does anyone have any questions?” Additionally, Azelma is incredibly joyful. She is nearly always happy, not necessarily smiling at everything she sees but certainly has the look in her eye of someone who is having a good day. Now she is free from Hogwarts she has fewer things to worry about; not that she didn’t enjoy attending the school, but so much homework and exams left her unoccupied to have time to do the things she wants to do.
However, her curiosity for things does sometimes get her into a spot of trouble. At Hogwarts, her peers learned to accept that she would always ask questions and in truth were quite thankful for it, since it meant that they didn’t have to. Yet now in adulthood Azelma is often accused of being nosey. It also affects her relationships. Despite having had many boyfriends in the past, unlike her twin brother, love interests don’t come easily. Sure she is incredibly beautiful and throughout the years has grown out of a frizzy mane of hair which once made Hermione Granger’s look like a few curls. But it’s her prying nature that makes boys become wary of spending time with her. She can ask all sorts of awkward questions. ‘Who was your last girlfriend?’, ‘Was she cute?’, ‘Am I cute?’ and of course, “Are you a virgin?” She does not become jealous easily, so the answers to their questions don’t make her envious of any past girlfriends. She for one couldn’t care less if they were a virgin or not. She certainly isn’t and is perfectly comfortable talking about and pursuing in the subject. Instead these questions make the guys want to back off a little; after all, some of the subjects she likes to include are pretty touchy ones for a first date. It’s not that Azelma means to be snooping but it just comes naturally with the easy confidence she possesses around others. Usually, Azelma is a happy soul content with the simple things. She rarely gets angry but when she does there is hell to pay. She is like a storm of rage which can be pretty destructive in the wrong hands. Azelma doesn’t like this part of herself so tries not to let people get to her. She has said things in the past which she wishes could have gone unsaid. Azelma knows she cannot change the past so is determined to control her future.
Her confidence has always driven Azelma to a certain career. Despite all of the jobs that people have offered to her with the grades she achieved at Hogwarts, her biggest dream is to act. Azelma has always had a keen interest in acting on a stage so the second she left Hogwarts, she enrolled at any club she could find. Most were muggle clubs which she enjoyed but she wanted a career in acting within the wizarding world. She eventually found the Lockhart Stage School for performing arts. The woman running the school was Adele, a small plump red head in her mid-thirties who had an obsession with Gilderoy Lockhart and had decided to name her acting group in his honour, despite him being in St. Mungo’s Hospital for more than ten years. Azelma was not one to judge her obsession and embraced Adele and the fellow members. She has been visiting the group weekly for three years and is now one of their most talented students. That said, she has not yet been offered a job in her dream career so is working in The Three Broomsticks. Juggling relationships, work and acting is difficult but somehow Azelma manages to pull it off. However working in one of the busiest pubs in the wizarding world, especially one that is close to Hogwarts, allows Azelma to overhear some things that maybe she shouldn’t. Most of it is harmless gossip coming from giggling school girls but if word was to come out, Azelma would be the first to hear it. After all, gossip in Hogsmeade spreads like an uncontrollable wildfire and Azelma’s thirst for knowledge would only add to the heated outcome.
Anthony, Megan, Aaron, Luke and Helena Goldstein:
The Goldstein’s are a close knitted family and Azelma has a good relationship with all of its members. She no longer lives at home, but visits her parents often. Anthony and Megan never spoiled any of their children, although Megan perhaps did fuss over Aaron just that little bit more, so Azelma and the rest of her siblings are not materialistic. That said, Anthony has never been a fan of Azelma’s acting dreams so when the subject arises between them, it doesn’t usually end well. Aaron and Azelma have always been close and there are few things that make them argue. The only big argument that the twins have had was when Aaron messed around with one of Azelma’s ex-boyfriends but this didn’t last for long and in the end they both came to the conclusion that neither of them were to blame. As for the boyfriend, things for him did not end well. Being on the wrong side of both of the Goldstein twins is not wise. As for Luke and Helena, Azelma is also extremely close to both; particularly Luke. She often teases Luke about his relationships trouble, mocking him for still being a virgin and for being so hopelessly puppy eyes around Dominique Weasley. Yet she has a very motherly approach to him and although doesn’t show this with her sensitivity, does so by insisting on meeting him at The Three Broomsticks during Hogsmeade weekends. Azelma is also very fond of Helena, although she is the sibling whom she argues with the most. This is mostly due to Helena being slightly jealous of her older sister. Azelma is aware of this and does her best to convince Helena that she’s perfect as she seems to be, but this only increases the lingering envy between them. Despite this she maintains a good relationship with all of her family which has only become stronger since she left Hogwarts.
Ed and Azelma are no doubt an unusual pair. Edward is the type of guy whose ideals are stuck in the nineteenth century, to the point where he comes close to fainting when seeing a woman’s ankles bare. Azelma, on the other hand, is one of the most confident people to grace the Wizarding World with her presence. She has no problem showing a significant amount of skin, especially when it comes to her roles. Azelma is the type of girl who would give Ed a heart attack every five seconds, and definitely not the good kind. While many expected him to be uncomfortable with Azelma’s curious nature, especially regarding his virgin status and past relationships, Ed was rather fond of the amount of attention she was giving to his present and past life. The two only began to go out after Hogwarts, with their seventh year spent with Azelma firing flirtatious gazes in his direction and him blushing in return. It was no secret to any of their friends that Azelma found Ed attractive from the start, although this was based off of pure physical attraction and the fact that her looks made him squirm like a worm on a hook. Since then, the two have been joined at the hip. Rarely getting into fights of any kind and never losing the slightest bit of interest in one another. He is also surprisingly supportive of her choice of a career path, knowing that she is completely open to playing almost anything. Only recently has he proposed to her and the two haven’t even considered wedding details yet, but are simply happy to be with one another. Ed often finds himself skipping SBD meetings to spend Azelma’s free nights with her.
