⟡⌜⇴ ALICIA VIKANDER ⌠ 30 & she/her ⌡: have you seen ALICE LONGBOTTOM ? SHE is an AUROR who’s apparently also A MEMBER OF THE ORDER. When you see them walking around, be careful, because while they can be AMBITIOUS and RESOURCEFUL, I heard they can also be pretty CYNICAL and DOMINEERING.

BACKGROUND

alice longbottom ( born alice audrey fortescue ) is known to some as a mystery. born to a pureblood wizard and a muggleborn witch, alice was always supposed to be the spitting image of her parents — soft, kind, and weak. and while she might’ve had the stunning looks of her mother and the wavy hair of her father, that was where the similarities stopped.

some people like to joke that maybe alice is adopted, since she is so obviously different to bother her mother and father. and coming from some, this can be funny. other times, alice won’t hesitate to push you into a corner and defend her parents honour.

while alice loves her parents dearly, as any daughter should, she likes to think that she raised herself in a way. her parents were often distracted trying to stay on top of the family ice-cream business, and as much as they were incredibly attentive, it was always their philosophy that their little girl should find her own way in the world, to form her own opinions and find what makes her happy all on her own.

unfortunately, instead of searching for the good in the world, little alice went straight for the bad, finding toxic and unwelcoming environments everywhere she turned, especially as the daughter of a muggleborn. she found the world to be a cruel and unforgiving place, and from a young age she taught herself how to be hard, impenetrable — how to be everything her parents were not.

with scraped knees and a near permanent scowl, little alice shut herself off from the rest of the world, her soft interior only visible to those she knew she could trust ( which for quite a while was limited only to her parents ). she set out on trying to bebetter than those who had taught her what a terrible world she lived in, but being better did not always equal being kind.

it is perhaps this upbringing that gave alice many of the traits which landed her in the house of the snakes when she started at hogwarts. ambitious, cunning, determined and fraternal, alice should’ve fit in right with her housemates.

but of course, in typical alice fortescue fashion, she made enemies far quicker than she made friends. having heard only bad things from her parents about slytherin, alice set out to make it abundantly clear from the moment she entered the dungeons that she was a halfblood and she would take absolutely none of the ‘purist bullshit’ she’d heard stories of.

it actually took quite a while for alice to find friends that she could trust in her first year. she would often get into fights with people who knew it was easy to rile her up, and it quickly became her brand, in a way. she wasn’t used to making friends, but finally after a few months she found people who could get past the cold exterior she’d put up and appreciate her for what she was — an incredibly passionate, caring and driven individual.

it should come as no surprise to know that alice absolutely flew through school, academic wise. she was as sharp as a tack and passed all her subjects with flying colours, even when she piled far too many on herself for her newts. and it was a damn good thing, too, because alice knew she would need the grades to get the one job she had wanted since she was 12 — an auror.

alice was accepted into the auror program the moment she left hogwarts and quickly rose in the ranks, proving herself to be far tougher, far braver and far more talented then many of the other trainees who put themselves through hell trying to get noticed. she had a natural talent for duelling and an intuition which proved highly useful for the auror office once she finally earned herself the title of junior auror. the only thing she ever really struggled with was paperwork — she finds it distracts from her true objective to get out on the field and actually make a difference.

it didn’t take long before the order took a notice in her skills, too — almost as soon as she had been accepted into the auror program, the order was quick on her case, barely getting through their offer before she said yes.

she does a lot of ground work for the order, scouting out and keeping an eye on things especially within the ministry. she is well respected and yet equally feared, some questioning her loyalties if they see her as volatile and uncontrollable.

but of course, there’s nothing ever to question when it comes to alice’s loyalties — all she’s ever wanted is to see the world become a better place, the kind of place her parents think it already is.

PERSONALITY

there are two things that make alice alice — her determination and her love.

if alice ever sets her mind to something, you can bet your ass she is going to get it done. nothing can ever come between alice and something she wants, and while for the most part this is a good thing ( it’s what gave her the grades to become an auror and what got her noticed by the order ) it can definitely sometimes get in the way of other, more important things. multiple friends have accused her of being too focused on her studies, or her job, or the order and she’s even lost a few who believed she just didn’t care enough about them. but that couldn’t be farther from the truth —

the one thing that really drives alice is her deep love and loyalty to her friends and family. while she might seem cold and cruel on the outside, she has a heart the size of jupiter. all she wants is to see the ones she loves safe from harm, from prejudice, from war. while it might take her a while to love, once she does, she loves so deeply and with such strength that she might just drown you.

she has a very quick tongue, and often doesn’t think before she speaks. it got her into trouble a lot at hogwarts and continues to get in her way within the auror department, and while sometimes it frustrates her, she usually doesn’t care — if someone can’t handle what she has to say, then that’s their problem, not hers.

while she’s not a particularly big drinker, she definitely has the energy of a Vodka Aunt. she likes to think she’s a bit maternal, but more often than not her judgement is misguided and she’s incredibly Messy. definitely the kind of aunt who would let the kids have a sip of her cocktail. just… the energy, man. i can’t explain it.
