&& ----- Her parents would call her shameful. Running away from her home, her family, her name. But Andromeda knew that wasn't the case. She wasn't trying to run away, not really. She was hoping to pursue a life that was better than what she'd been given.

From a young age, Andromeda was taught the respectable ways in which all good, pureblood witches should behave. She could set tea and speak eloquently and crush flies in a way that looked as delicate as setting down a china bowl. However, Andromeda was also taught lessons that she would later find hateful and cruel.

Don't get her wrong, she subscribed to these ideas, once upon a time. She thought she would be the sort who would marry well and be well taken care of. Starting school, however, she saw the sorts of people her sister fell in with. And when her other sister came to school, Andromeda took note. She wished things could be different. She wished she didn't have to choose. But they made her.

Andromeda wishes things weren't so tense with her sisters. Her parents, she could survive without them. But her sisters? What it would be like for Bella and Cissy to just-- accept her. But they wouldn't. And Andromeda made the decision to become estranged from them consciously and knowingly. It was a sacrifice of a kind.

Marrying Edward Tonks and leaving her family behind was possibly the biggest kindness that Andromeda afforded herself. No longer in the empty, cold halls of her family home, Andromeda was free to explore the wizarding world with a fresh perspective. She was able to see other witches and wizards and humans as their own people, independent of their blood status.

Not long after marrying Ted Tonks, Andromeda came to have a daughter, whom she named Nymphadora. Though it's a name her daughter did not seem to enjoy, Andromeda kept it a private tradition of the family she left behind.

full name: sirius black.

name origin: the name sirius is of ancient greek origin and it means “burning brightly”, “glowing”, “brightest star”. from the latin origin it means “burning”. whilst black is simply of scottish origin.

sirius himself doesn’t really care much for the origin of his name, so any of the stuff above? yea like hell he knows any of that.

nicknames: padfoot by remus, james, peter and lily. besides that he doesn’t really have any nicknames, but sirius would very happily accept any that others come up with. thinks they’re pretty fun.

age: 19.

birthday: novermber 3rd. ( scorpio ). 

although sirius doesn’t really look into astrology, he does think it’s kinda fuckin’ cool. like he thinks it’s weird, but he think it’s weird in like a funky interesting way.

sexuality: bisexual as hell.

he’s pretty much always been aware of it too, he’s never done anything to hide it much either. rather be who he is and knows he is than stay hidden.

relationship status: single as hell. like seriously, who would want to get stuck with this idiot?

that said, he’s happy to see whatever comes along.

patronus: mongrel dog. intelligent, friendly and warm natured but with a bite just as bad as their bark. they’re the perfect partner.

boggart: himself. but he’s different. cloaked in the dark, masked like the enemies. eyes so dark you can’t see the soul, life sucked out of him. a true representation of a black family member, and what he never wants to be.

wand type: 11″, cypress, quetzalcoatl feathers and scale.

occupation: hit wizard at the ministry of magic. 

for a while he considered becoming an auror, but after reflecting for probably too long in what the hell he wanted to do, he ended up going this way instead and working with auror’s just more hands on.
