~Stand My Ground~
Personality:Either you love Andromeda, or you hate her, but either way you know she exists. During her early years she quite elitist, bullying, and a bit of bigot. However, once she was cut loose of her family she changed quite a bit, becoming less judgemental than she had been earlier, more giving, and quite cheerful. Her leadership qualities have blossomed, and she's quite charismatic and fun.
~The End of Every Story~
History:
Andromeda was very much your typical, good little pureblood Black daughter for the first handful of years in her life. She was raised by proper pureblood parents, behaved in a proper pureblood way, and thought that anyone who wasn't pureblood was dirty. She hit Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin, where she was surrounded by the right sort of people to grow up and be a proper pureblood wife. Unfortunately, she was not that adept at Transfiguration. And that was the begining of the end of her, as far as her parents were concerned.
Her trouble at Transfiguration resulted in her asking for tutoring from Professor McGonagall, as having low scores was not at all acceptable in her parent's eyes. The professor saw promise in Andromeda and paired her up with a student two years her senior - Victoria Stebbins, of Hufflepuff. At first Andromeda was quite put off with this pairing, as Victoria was a muggleborn student. But Victoria had ridiculous amounts of patience and tolerated Andromeda quite well, and soon she began to admire and respect Victoria. Their friendship was difficult for Andromeda at first, as it went against everything that she'd learned about muggles and muggleborns, but it began opening her eyes beyond what she'd been taught.
Though Andromeda's new outlook on life caused some strain amongst her pureblooded peers and her family, they employed an informal "don't ask, don't tell" policy which worked quite well through Hogwarts. Unfortunately (though she'd like to see it as fortunately), after she graduated she found herself quite smitten with a former classmate, Ted Tonks. They dated for a while, and Andromeda put off telling her family about it to avoid being forced to chose between the two. Ted was uncomfortable with but understanding of her situation. After a short courtship he proposed and she accepted, but postponed telling her family again for quite a while, until Ted finally pushed her to.
The news did not come as a suprise to her family, and they simply told her that she was out of the family (much the same way they'd been doing for generations when family members chose undesirable mates). She was unceremoniously blasted off the family tree, and driven from the house. Ted and Andromeda got married in a quiet ceremony with close friends and (his) family, and moved to Caimbridge to be near his parents. She worked at St. Mungo's until the birth of their first daughter, Nymphadora.

RP Sample: Must I?! Come on you know me ... -le sigh-
Eighteen year old Andromeda Black sat at her bedroom window, looking out into the garden below her room. Her eyes stared blankly at the red, pink and white rose bushes her mother had had planted there in a way to represent her three daughters. She was fresh out of Hogwarts and completely bored at home, not to mention lonely.
“Teddy I miss you …” She whispered to herself, sighing she slumped against the window frame as her fingers twisted her dress fabric.
She stayed in that position, her eyes closed as she thought about the young man that held her heart, which was breaking because she knew her parents would never allowed the relationship. Jolted out of her deep thought by the sound of a rock hitting her window she quickly jumped up. Peering outside, her heart bursted with joy when she saw Theodore Tonks standing outside in the garden under bedroom window.
“Teddy!” She called out happily as she opened the French style windows and leaned out the window, “What are you doing here? Father and Mother will feed you to dragons if they find out that you are here.”
“I don’t care, let them!” He said as he began climbing up the trellis under the window. Finally making it to her, he smiled as he leaned in toward her, hanging onto the window seal. “May I come in?”
“Well I don’t know, I’m not supposed to converse with those of un-pure blood, let alone let them into my bedroom,” she said jokingly “but since you’ve worked so hard to get up here and risked my parents’ wrath … I will allow it.”
She stepped back as he hoisted himself through the window into her bedroom. Watching as he finished straightening himself up, she bolted into his arms hugging his neck tight, kissing his face all over. “By the stars, I’ve missed you. I thought I was going to die here, locked away in this room.”
She buried her hands in his sandy blond hair, pulling him into a deep kiss not really caring at that moment if anyone walked in on them.
