Astrid has a solid black cat named Tabbums that she found on the grounds of Hogwarts dangerously near the Forbidden Forrest one day in her second year.
Tabbums is a very approachable cat. He loves to be loved on and given attention. That is the reason he is near Astrid so much. When he isn't annoying his own by jumping on her lap every time she sits down. When he's not with Astrid, he likes to hunt and then bring his latest to kill to show off to Astrid.
Tabbums had been underweight when Astrid and best friend Jasper Black had pleaded to keep him. So, after McGonogal reluctantly agreed, Tabbums had been fed anything he wanted resulting in his now obsedity (thought Astrid denies it).

personality.
personality.
First Impression»» [/b]
Astrid radiates enthusiasm. She has always had a strange aura that radiates happiness to those around her. She is an extremely approachable person. She will most likely approach you instead of you approaching her though.
Self Image»» [/b]
Astrid has a very good self-esteem. She never really critisies herself; she'll admit that she's wrong and move on about it. She really doesn't have a problem with herself and doesn't notice any flaws unless someone points them out.
Positive Traits»» [/b]
- Optimistic- There is no doubt in anyone who's ever known Astrid Longhorn that she is optimistic. She always sees the good in any situation she's been thrown into, no matter how bad. It's almost annoying she's so happily content that everything will turn out fine. She's one of those that say"This day is going to be great" even when she's standing in the middle of a rain storm with no umbrella and a taxi just threw mud on her.
- Kind- Astrid has always been kind to whomever she meets. There are very few people in the world that she doesn't like or can't force herself to be civil with. She will help anyone that asks, or even doesn't ask. If she sees a stray animal, she'll make it her job to find it a good home. It's hard for her not to be kind to someone.
- Human Garbage Disposal- Astrid can eat anything, anytime, anywhere and not gain a pound. She enjoys eating junkfood and almost anything else she can get her hands on. She has such a high metabolism that she doesn't gain weight. For this reason she's always been underweight, but she's okay with that. She'll never be accused of being anorexic.
- Piano- Her muggle parents wanted her to succeed at something other than being a witch, so piano it was. She'd already been learning since the age of five, but after her acceptance to Hogwarts they became obsessive over it. She's very good from vigorous practice, but she only does it for fun or to think. Playing piano helps her solve her problems most of the time.
- Apparation- Astrid was the first one in her year to apparate successfully, and on the first try to boot. It's her number one defense mechanism. She's been known to randomly appear all the time because she enjoys apparating so much. It was only natural that McGonogal ask her to teach apparating at Hogwarts.
- Loyal-If she attaches herself to you, she'll never let you down. She is loyal to her friends and there is nothing to do to shake her loyalty. She will never let you down.
Negative Traits»» [/b]
- Blunt- She'll tell you how it is, and that's that. She doesn't hold back her comments on situations, and that gets her in trouble sometimes. Though she means well, it sometimes doesn't sound like that. She's always been the one to say what everyone was thinking.
- Too Trusting- She likes to trust people. This usually results in heartbreak or her being in danger. She sees good in people all the time and she puts her full trust in people even if she doesn't realize she's done so. She can't help herself, it's just who she is.
- Short Attention Span- Astrid is very easily distracted. Muggles would say she has ADD, but she doesn't really care what they think. She is the type of person that would be talking and then stop in mid-sentance to stare at something pretty or shiney. For those who don't know her, she is hard to hold a conversation with. She will see something and suddenly start talking about that and completely forget what she was talking about before. She's the type of person who has to get every thought out before she loses it and they sometimes collide with each other.
- Immature- Her free spirited nature is sometimes taken for immaturity. It is true sometimes. She sometimes doesn't want to grow up and desperately clings to her childhood. It comforts her to do childish things so she doesn't have to face reality. She likes to make jokes when you're telling her something serious because she doesn't want to face what you're telling her.
- Emotional- Astrid is prone to major outbursts of whatever emotion she's showing at the time. If she's happy, she's hyper. If she's sad, she's crying. If she's depressed, she's locked in her room crying and refuses to talk to people until the depression passes. If she's PMSin, walk wide circles around her and don't even look at her. It's written clearly on her face what she's feeling at the time. She's like a walking, breathing mood ring.
- Stubborn- Once Astrid sets her mind to something it will never, ever change. Never. She won't budge at all and it's very rare you can convince her to change her mind. Very hard. She either likes it or she doesn't and she's never going to change. (And she'll never admit that she's stubborn.)
Likes»» [/b]
- Cats- Cats are her "What I was in a past life", alter-ego, and animagus. She loves those furry little things. (Though, she doesn't like hairless cats, they creep her out. )
- Her best friends in the world: Jasper, Kingley, and Emmett
- Music- Since she has been forced to play music, she might as well enjoy it. She likes all different kinds of music and is pretty much open to anything. She has a complete collection of CDs on a floor to ceiling bookshelf and her Ipod is jammed full.
- Slumber Parties- She loves staying up and being with her friend Jasper Black. They had slumber parties all through the summer at Astrid's house and even when they had their own apartments. It's sort of tdesperately clinging to childhood there.
- Cheetos- Best snacks in the world. Period.
Dislikes»» [/b]
- Being Alone- That is her worst fear. She always has this reoccuring nightmare that she's running down the street calling out for people, but everything is deserted. She never wants to be alone. That's why she always says she wants to go first out of her friends. That way she wouldn't have to live a day without them.
- People Touching Her- She doesn't like to be touched unless she knows you. And even if she does know you, there is a limit. She likes her bubble and she likes people out of her bubble.
- Certain Slytherins- She's a Gryffindor. What do you expect?
- Emo People- She doesn't see the point in being down all the time. She hates it when people are like "My life is pointless. I wanna die." It disgusts her when someone wallows in that much self-pity when they could suck it up and make a better life for themselves.
- Skanks-She sees no point in them acting the way they do. They are ridiculous to her.

Distinctive Features»» [/b]
Her dimples are her most distinctive feature. Her smile is almost always on her face so you see those dimples whether you want to or not.
She has a birthmark shaped roughly like a heart on her left shoulder. This is one of her favorite parts of her body.
She is a little clutsy, so her knees are scarred up from falling, as are her palms.
Her red hat is either on or near by. It is like her security blanket. She's never without it.
Dress Style»» [/b]
Astrid likes a lot of color in her wardrobe. She's usually in bright yellows, pinks, or greens. When she does wear dark colors it usually has a bright design or a bright colored words on it.
She always has on jeans. She'd even argued with Professor McGonogall that she couldn't possibly part with her jeans and that she could apparate better in jeans than she could possibly do in dress pants or a dress itself. (McGonogall reluctantly agreed after three hours of this argument) She has all different types that are all relaxed and fit her really well. She's hardly ever seen without jeans on.
The only time she dresses up is when she's at a family event, wedding, formal party, or funeral. She has a few dresses that are all brightly colored, one white dress, and one black dress.
As previously mentioned, she always has her bright read hat with her. She received it as a birthday gift from her favorite Aunt Charlotte and it hasn't left her side since.
She, like her best friends, has a pair of well loved converse shoes that she wears with mostly anything. If she has to wear something else, she wears her Bjorndal slip ons or her "Fire Nation" shoes ( They resemble Mary-Janes with the exception of the toe coming to a up facing point near the top.)

Past»» [/b]
- Born to Muggle parents and being the first of the only two magical children in the family, Astrid has never quite fit in the Muggle world. During her Muggle school days, she would whiz through her math classes with ease. It was almost like something else was doing it for her. Then she received the letter of acceptance from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Her older sister became incredibly jealous… and fearful. Her utmost concern was that her little sister would forget about her. After reassuring her sister that she would write every day, Astrid left for a new world of wands and cauldrons.
- Afraid she might not fit in, Astrid nearly cried her way to Hogwarts. Luckily for her, she met best friends, Norma Jasper Black, Kingley Macleod, and Emmett Charles. Jasper was her confidant through the rough first weeks of first year in Gryffindor house.
- No sooner had she settled into her classes and developed a hatred for Slytherin house, she gained a baby brother. Upon her request, he was named Drew. Though, upon returning home that year she found she had gained a brother, but somewhat lost a sister. Penny Longhorn avoided Astrid as much as possible when she was home and refused to write her back while Astrid was away. This was a terrible rift in Astrid's life, though she wouldn't let it show to other people.
- In second year, she and Jasper found a solid black cat near the Forbidden Forest, snuck it into their dormitory, and named it Tabbums. Astrid went overboard on spoiling it, which is the main cause for it’s current state of obesity. This had been her soul charge for then up until present day. She'd work so hard to get Tabbums into Hogwarts and convince McGonogall that he wasn't a Death Eater in animagus form that she would do almost anything to keep that cat safe.
- She spent the rest of her Hogwarts days in complete happiness. She and Jasper were conjoined at the hip and never did anything without each other. She passed her O.W.L.S with flying colors and moved on to work temporarily for the Ministry as a secretary. It wasn't until four days after the school year started that she had received a letter from McGonogall explaining that she would be given a job at Hogwarts as the Apparation teacher. Astrid also secretly new it was to keep Jasper in good spirits too. So, she accepted the job and hasn't looked back. She believes that being the Apparation teacher is her true calling and she never wants to be under the Ministry's thumb like that again.
