personality.
First Impression»» [/b]
First impressions are always rough on poor Alista, they tend to associate her with her father Professor Longbottom. Although she possesses many traits of her father, she is her own person, and becomes slightly annoyed when she compared to him
>>Girls: When girls first meet Alista they all think one word, Shy. It doesn’t matter in what setting you meet her in that is the first word used to describe Alista. Leaving her with very few friends, the few girls that do push past the shy exterior in hopes of getting to know the real Alista find her to be a diamond in the rough.
>> Boys: When boys meet Alista they normally think she is cute. But once they try talking to her and realize that she has an inability to form a good length conversation with them they tend to back away, leaving her hurt and having been rejected. If a boy does however one day try to push past the wall she builds up they might find that diamond in the rough her close friends talk about.
Self Image»» [/b]
Alista has always felt inadequate. Always comparing herself to her brother and how social he is, where as she is horribly at forming small talk. She knows that deep down she could be as social as her brother but the fear of getting hurt causes her to go into herself further and remove herself from the outside social world. Like her friends say, she really believes that she is a diamond in the rough, just sitting there waiting for someone to discover her.
Positive Traits»» [/b]
- Excellent Memory: Tell Alista something and she’ll never forget. It doesn’t matter how long ago she was told a certain fact she retains it in the back of her mind. She might not be able to call forth the memory of the exact date that she was told, but she will recall the fact. Her father always called her his little pensive because of her ability to recall even the most insignificant fact.
- Charasmatic: On one of the rare occasions that you get Alista talking, people are instantly surprised that such a shy girl as herself, talks the way she does. She has an extensive vocabulary that often leaves the teacher baffled, but also phrases things in a way that could make the meanest words sound like a compliment, not that you’d ever catch a mean word crossing her lips.
- Unique: Alista loves to wear brightly colored clothing, and well she kind of look like a hippy when she's not at school. Ask her brother he will be the first to tell you, Ishe has a unique type of style but that’s okay. she love standing out in a crowd especially if it gives her a chance to show off her clothes. Now if only she could learn to talk around boys and she'd be golden
- Tender: Alista is one of those people who couldn’t hurt a fly, not that she would want to anyway then she would have to deal with the mess, and that would not do. Her brother has often times used the word tender to describe his sister, saying that she was such a sweet and gentle person that she could make snow white, whom they know from a fairy tale book they received from a muggle born friend when they were younger, look evil.
- Writer: Every person has that outlet, the one they can use as an escape from the real world, for some it’s playing the piano, singing, dancing, or even studying. But for Alista it has always been writing. As long as she can remember she has always had a notebook filled with paper for her to put her thoughts and feelings down onto paper. It is the only way that Alista can be herself without being judge, but writing it all down in a place that it will never be seen.
Negative Traits»» [/b]
- Overly Meticulous: Everything has a place in Alista’s life and well world. If one thing is out of place Alista will know, she won’t have to see it but she will have a feeling, and will not stop fixing things until she figures out what has been misplaced or removed from it’s rightful spot. This at times can be annoying but because of her organizational habits, if you would call them that, she has never once lost a paper or received lower than a E on a paper. Thank you organization.
- Introverted: Alista very much likes to keep to herself, she would much rather prefer to be curled up in the library or her dorm room by a warm fire with a book, than going to a party. Big groups of people have always made Alista a bit uneasy. She has a few close knit friends who she is completely comfortable around, to the point where her introverted personality seems to disappear and almost show an outgoing individual, but this side of Alista is only shown to very few people.
- Bull-headed: Well really there is only one person this trait shows through to, and that’s her brother. No matter how much sense he is making about something Alista refuses to believe that he could possibly be right, even when he normally is. She will never admit that she was wrong to him, believing that in every argument she is right. The End.
- Frail: Alista has never thought that she was good enough, especially when she was compared to her brother. Alista is shy, where as Luca is outgoing, Luca can handle criticism, Alista can’t. She always takes it to heart and lets it eat away at her until she can’t take it any longer and breaks down, normally in the arms of her father, or her brother, both willing to do anything to help her get back on her feet.
- Romantically akward: When it comes to guys Alista doens't know where to start. She barely knows how to form a simple hello when a guy is talking to her, this could be somewhat of a problem seeing as her brother is a popular guy and has many friends, who always happen to be good looking guys, and when they can't find him, they come to Alista to find out where he is, only to not find out any information and leave Alista standing there blushing from her inability to converse easily with the opposite sex. Maybe she'll meet someone who will bring her out of that shell.
Likes»» [/b]
- Writing: The one thing Alista is never without, her notebook It is her way of getting away from the sometimes hectic world. But in her writings about herself, she isn't the shy, romantically akward girl. she's the oppostite the strong, confident, and perfectly calm around guys. That is the person she wishes she could be, but everytime she tries to come out of her shell she gets hurt and goes right back in.
- Talon: Her beautiful kitten. Her father gave it to her before she left for Hogwarts, she loves Talon to pieces even though she can be temperamental at times, but talon always knows how to make her feel better, even on her saddest days.
- Being a Twin: What’s more fun than being a twin? Nothing according to Alista. She loves the fact that she is a twin, she and her brother are very close and she wouldn’t change that for the world. She doesn’t know what she would do without her brother.
- Her Great Gran: Alista loves the fact that she is told that she looks so much like her Great Gran. She was such an important part of her fathers life that she is proud that she resembles a women who was strong enough to raise her father into the man he has become today.
- Snow: The way that snow can make even the ugliest places appear beautiful amazes Alista. She loves the way that it coats the world in a blanket of white, and when tiny snowflakes get caught her hair, reminding her of the many snow fights she had growing up.
Dislikes»» [/b]
- Grape Flavored Medicine: it’s disgusting how medicine can be made to taste like grapes. But even then the medicine doesn’t taste like grapes, to her it tastes like melted plastic that has purple coloring in it. Alista has never really liked it, especially when she was little and had to take grape flavored medicine for some sort of sickness that she can’t recall.
- Dark: The dark has always made Alista uncomfortable, she wouldn’t say that she was scared of it, but it just makes her uncomfortable. Especially how people and dark things are able to slip through the dark easily without being noticed.
- Herbology: Alista has never liked Herbology, she does love her father, just not his class. She doesn’t see the point in knowing plants and such, and especially the purpose of pulling a mandrake and replanting it. Why can’t it just stay in its first pot?
- Crucio Curse: Ever since she saw what the crucio curse did to her parternal grandparents Alista has never liked it. Not that she liked it in the first place, but seeing how it could cause a person go insane pushed her to the limit, she had yet to understand why a person would use such a horrible curse.
- Meat: Alista is a vegetarian just like her mother. She can’t stand meat, just the thought of eating a poor innocent animal makes her want to hurl. She has no problem with others eating it around her, but if she eats it, she will immediately become ill and hurl all over the place. Not a pretty site.
Amortentia»» [/b]

Boggart»» [/b]
It was a cold wintry night, Alista and Lucas were sitting in front of the fireplace listening to her father tell them about another one of his times at Hogwarts and how when the two were old enough to attend Hogwarts they too would get the chance to make memories they would one day tell their kids.
It happened in a flash the front door blew up and in stepped a strange man that neither of the kids recognized entered their home, their father obviously knew him and sent the two upstairs, but the twins were curious and instead of going upstairs to their rooms they sat at the top of the stairs with their head peaking out over the railing.
Soon they heard yelling and then they heard their mother scream, a shrill scream that would make any person’s skin crawl, and then there was silence and a loud “crack”. As the two ran down the stairs they saw their mother’s body laying on the ground limp with their father leaning over her.
It wasn’t long before the family was in St. Mungo’s pacing the emergency rooms ward back and forth afraid that Hannah wasn’t going to make it, the family stayed there for six hours waiting for any shred of news, it was just before dawn when the doctor came out and told them that Hannah would be fine.
That is Alista’s best and worst memory, it’s the best because her mother lived, but her worst because of how close she had come to losing her mother.
Patronus»» [/b]
Alista’s patronus is an otter, she is a fun loving carefree type of person who is friendly and of course love to play.

Eye Color»» [/b]
An emerald green color that she inherited from her father’s side of the family.
Hair Color»» [/b]
Alista’s hair color is an odd thing indeed, from afar it looks almost red, but once you get closer you see that it does have some red in it from when she dyed it as well as the natural blondes and browns inherited by her parents.
Skin Color»» [/b]
A fair ivory that tans, only if she remembers to wear sunblock otherwise she turns into a lobster.
Body Build»» [/b]
Slim, and petite
Nationality»» [/b]
English
Distinctive Features»» [/b]
Alista’s most distinctive feature about her would be of course her eyes, with such a dark colored hair her eyes stand out against her complexion making them a feature that is very difficult to forget.
Dress Style»» [/b]
Colors colors where are the colors? Although alista may appear shy the way she stands out is through her clothes. Always wearing bright colors, when she isn't in school. Her style is often referred to as Hippy style by her brother but he loves it because he knows it the one area that Alista is comfortable about herself with. It never fails to give her a confidence booster when someone compliments her attire. She's obbsessed with having brightly colored clothes. In her closet the only dark thing in there are her school robs, which are only in there a few days before school, otherwise it is filled with bright yellows, oranges, pinks and greens.

Social Status»» [/b]
Alista is one that likes to stand in the background rather than be right in the center of it all. She isn’t unknown, in fact she is well known but only as Professor Longbottoms daughter other than that she has a few close friends, and a few people she knows by face only.
As for teachers she is once again well know, as Professor Longbottoms daughter. At times that erks Alista because she is her own person, and being compared to how her father was in school at times drives her nuts, even though she tends to do better grade wise, which she can thank her mother for.
Alliance»» [/b]
Neutral
Career Goal»» [/b]
Alista really has no idea what she wants to do after Hogwarts, but both her father and brother think that she should become a writer. The one time she let either of them see her writings in her journal they were both awe struck, they couldn't believe that Alista could write the way she does. So sure for Alista becoming a writer is an option, but at the same time she is scared to, because the girl can't take criticism.
Taken Courses&Grades»» [/b]
4-5 Years will need to take all core subjects - Astronomy, Charms, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Herbology, History of Magic, Potions, Transfiguration.

- Charms-O
- Potions-E
- Herbology-E
- Defense against Dark Arts-E
- Arthmancy-O
- Ancient Runes-E
Favorite Classes»» [/b]
Arthmancy is by far her favorite class, every time she tries to explain why the students roll their eyes and walk away leaving her to just shrug her shoulders and walk in the other direction.
Charms: is a close tie for second, the ability to make a feather float or to make a patronous appear amazed Alista.
Hated Classes»» [/b]
Herbology: how Alista hates this class, even though her father teaches the class she still finds it the most boring class that could be offered, who would want to learn about weeds, and such.
Defense against the Dark Arts: this class Alista has never been good at, so she is stuck working her bottom off to just squeeze by with an E, but be that as it may she doesn’t find it a very useful class.

Past»» [/b]
Congratulations you are now a great grandmother as of December 23 at 11:25 PM, to two very healthy babies, A boy Lucas whom we named after great uncle Lucas, god rest his soul, and then a beautiful baby girl Alista, who we have named after you and my mother Alice. You would love them both on site Gran, that I have no doubt. Alista already seems to be showing great intelligence even after just being born a few hours ago, her eyes follow me wherever I go, as for her brother he too shows great intellect but I believe that he has taken to his mother more so than I, but that is fine with me, Alista to me is already a Gem to whom I already love dearly. We hope that you will soon come visit us and meet the two newest additions to the family. I dare say you will take to them quite easily.
With Love,
Neville

Dear Gran.
Today was the twins fifth birthday, they were both terribly sad that you weren’t able to be there. They both miss you terribly and ask me to tell them about you often, usually I save it for a bedtime story, I believe that it makes them happy to hear all the wondrous stories of their great grandmother and about how you were the strongest women I have ever known. They especially love the story of my first holiday home from Hogwarts and how we went to the ice palace to go skating. But back to the twins birthdays, they both got their first brooms today Alista at first seemed afraid of the broom and refused to even mount it, but now I hear Hannah yelling at her to get off and come inside. Lucas took to the broom right away I see him being a great Quidditch player once he get to Hogwarts. I also presented Alista with the remembrall you gave me, I swear that girl is more forgetful than I am, and Hannah gave Lucas some family trinket from her side of the family, both seemed pleased with their gift. We all love and miss you
With Love

Dear Gran.
The twins received their letters to Hogwarts today. They both couldn’t stop smiling after they both opened their letters. All day they have been arguing about which houses they will be placed in, Lucas I have no doubt will more than likely be placed in Gryffindor, he is courageous and strong willed, just like most Gryffindors. Alista is one I couldn’t say, she possess aspects of all the houses, even a few from Slytherin, her sarcasm for one, but she is like her mother even if she is daddy’s little girl, so she could easily be placed in Hufflepuff , but her mind is strong, I feel almost as strong as Hermoines was, so there lies a chances for her to be in Ravenclaw, I don't see her being placed in Gryffindor however, she is much to shy and reserved for that house, but whatever house she should end up in, her mother and I will love her all the same, if the twins do end up in different house, I feel it might be good for them, they are close, so close that I fear they might not let others in, but both Lucas and Alista are loving people and it would be a sad thing if they did not gain those close friends they both deserve, but if they do, they will stay as tight as sardines, and make those close friends, that I have no doubt, but I must end this letter now Gran, we are having to go and get the twins school supplies tomorrow morning.
With Love
Neville
[/i]Neville
Dear Gran.
I am writing you this letter before we head to take the twins to the platform for their six year, I know I haven’t written in almost five years, but we have been busy. I know that is no excuse Gran, but it is the only excuse that I can provide. But the Twins have grown into fine young adults, Alista looks so much like you that when I show her pictures of you from your childhood that you once showed me she asks me when I took that picture at her, and then smiles when she learns that it is you. She is so proud that she looks so much like you. You would think you have named her head girl as a six year from the smile that is on her lips when she thinks of how close of resemblance she has to you. And Lucas, ah Lucas. The Boy is as tall as a house and looks as though he will be breaking all the girls’ hearts at Hogwarts. I know he receives letters from different girls almost daily, but I tend to just smile and shake my head, while his mother is worried he will be labeled a player. I feel that ever boy must go through a phase like that. I even went through one after I met Hannah. Well I hear Alista calling me, so I must go. I love you Gran, and wish you were her.
With Love
Neville
[/i]Neville
It was then Neville heard a soft knock his study door, and Alista poked her head in, “Are you coming daddy?” she asked with her sweet smile on her face that always made her father smile, “Yes Princess I’ll be out in a second I just have to fold this letter.”
That comment made Alista’s brow furrow she had no idea who her father would be writing too before they were to leave for the platform, as if reading her mind her spoke, “It’s for your Great Gran.” He said as the furrow only deepened on Alista’s face
“But Daddy Gran’s been dead since before we were born.” Alista said confused as she watched her father stand from his desk and walk towards a chest in the back of the room. As he lifted the lid Alista saw a bunch of letters all addressed to Gran inside, placing the letter on top Neville closed the chest and turned to his daughter that looked so much like his Gran, “I know.” He said with a sad smile as he placed a hand on her back and ushered her out of his study door leaving the study and the chest of letters written to his Gran behind him.
