Her hair is always straight and down but never does anything with it except for formal occasions at Hogwarts and formal occasions her father makes her attend.
Meleny's build is athletic because she plays Quidditch alot. She uses it as an outlet for her anger so she dosen't hurt anybody.

Overall Personality (Three paragraphs):
Meleny is very kind-hearted and pure and considered a blood traitor by her family because of her attitude towards the dark arts. She won't stand for injustice of any kind and will do anything she can to reform the bad she sees. She dosen't have a mean bone in her body. The sorting hat had a very hard time sorting her since it was sstuck between Slytherin and Gryffindor but she ended up in Gryffindor because of her determination, loyalty, and overprotectiveness.
Meleny is very tempermental because she won't stand for any injustice it makes her angry to see the wrongs not being righted and it also makes her angry to be called a 'blood traitor' and just being treated less than she is makes her angry.
Meleny's attitude is very Gryffindor. She's very determined and will do what she can to right the wrongs she sees. She dosen't like any kind of trouble but has taken the risk of getting in trouble to protect her friends from harm. She'd die if anything happened to them.
Meleny is very fearful and paranoid having a father who was in Slytherin has turned her into a sort of scaredy cat. She has way too many fears to count and she dosen't like it when people call her 'weak.' which her father has called her many times before. She knows she is weak but denies it for her safety.
Family:
Christina Aldridge (nee Kensington)--37--Former HufflePuff--Deceased
Anthony Aldridge--46--Former Slytherin--Death Eater
History (Three paragraphs):
Meleny Aldridge was born to Christina and Anthony Aldridge September 24th in Rome, Italy. She has a slight Italian accent but it has since went a bit british from being in England for most of her life. She moved to England with her parents just in time for her first year at Hogwarts. Her father was a death eater and was in azkaban but broke out and joined Callia's death eaters. Her mother was killed by her father because she's a blood traitor like her. She has been constantly beaten by her father because she's a blood traitor and has tried to kill her once or twice. She still has the scars many of them from the cruciatus curse and has tried her hardest to hide them from people she dosen't like.
As a little girl Meleny has heard stories about Hogwarts from her mother. Her parents were students during the mauraders' time at Hogwarts and graduated after their 7th year. Before that, Anthony hadn't turned to the dark side and was deeply in love with Christina. But when all hell broke loose and Voldemort was defeated Anthony tried to escape to safety to avoid getting sent to azkaban but he ended up getting captured, anyway.
Because of her father, Meleny was very overprotective of her mother and she is also overprotective of her friends. The night her mother was killed she received worse wounds than she had ever gotten before and many more scars which she cannot bear to look at. She constantly has nightmares of her mother's death and her hope that her father would stay in azkaban for all of eternity was shattered when Amber Genevieve D'acanto rose to power.
Sometimes, when she couldn't stand to be around her father she would run away from home and often stayed with Harry Potter and his family who treated her as if she were his own daughter, much like the way Mrs. Weasley treated Harry. One night she was about to run away from home again and was halfway to the door when she heard screams coming from the backyard. Her mother was trying to run away too and her father had used the cruciatus curse on her. She dashed into the courtyard and demanded that he leave her alone. She ended up getting caught in the middle of the battle afterwards made her way to the Potters' after burrying her mother in a nearby graveyard with scars on her face and her mother's blood on her hands.
Meleny is now in her 7th year at Hogwarts and she is trying to adjust to the trials and tribulations that she knows the year will bring. When she first started Hogwarts she was as all first years are very shy and timid and she kept to herself because of her family problems and she didn't know anyone yet. As she got older and made friends, she confided her problems to people she felt she could trust but still has a hard time with her past.

RP Sample (Try to make it more than one paragraph):
Fifteen Year Old Meleny Amherst walked through the corridors towards the room of requirement. Her D.A coin was in her pocket blazing hot. She looked behind her to make sure nobody was following her. She was a very paranoid person and couldn't help it. The school seemed to be crawling with death eaters and she didn't feel safe anymore. She mostly hid in the common room or walked around the grounds. She seized every opportunity she could to get out of the castle. She seemed to have lost count of everyone who were death eaters. Whenever she came across someone mysterious in the corridors, the classrooms, wherever she always recieved a forboding feeling from the person she encountered. It scared her. It especially scared her that the nurse was a death eater.
'Where was Madam Pomfrey?' She often found herself wondering as she passed the hospital wing on her way to classes or passing the hospital wing to get anywhere around the castle. Sometimes she wondered if the new matron had tortured Madam Pomfrey and took her job. These terrible thoughts were giving her a headache and she needed to be focused for the D.A meeting.
She came across the familiar blank strip of wall that was the room of requirement. Meleny couldn't wait for the meetings to start since Hermione first came up with the idea of finding a place to learn Defense Against The Dark Arts properly. Hogwarts was facing dangerous times and she was tired of being frightened all the time. "I need the D.A room."she thought trying to push the negative thoughts out of her head. The door appeared and she seized the handle and walked in and saw her fellow Gryffindors Harry ,Ron, Ginny, Hermione and Lavender. "Hey." she said smiling at them hoping she didn't appear too frightened to them. She tried to hide her paranoid nature from her enemies and it had become somewhat of a habit during these dark and difficult times since the school was swimming with death eaters. She couldn't trust anybody except for her closest friends but there were so many death eaters. How could she know if one of her friends were death eaters?
