Name: Alecto Carrow
Age: 16
House: Slytherin
Blood: Pure
Personality:
Alecto is extremely narcissistic in the sense that she has a very high opinion of herself. Physically, she is not particularly pleasing, but rather of normal status. Intellectually, however, she is extremely gifted and lacks any sense of modesty about it. She finds it very difficult to speak to others with lower intelligence and shows very little remorse for her rude remarks concerning the capability of others. She excels in nearly all of her classes, though she highly disfavors matters concerning Herbology. Plant care is tedious and not the least bit useful in her opinion, and Alecto has very little patience for the subject.
There are times when Alecto is faced with an opponent that easily matches her in cunning and wit. When forced into a corner, Alecto immediately will become viciously defensive. She will spit, claw, and drag herself to the top- no matter the consequences. Her volatile nature is highly unpredictable and not the least bit safe for herself and those around her. She is both critical and smug, and most avoid her because of this.
Most view her as opinionated, loud, and rude. Alecto is a leader, and she appealing to those who wish to bathe in the limelight of attention. Her loyalties lie with herself alone. If it seems that she has aligned herself to a dying cause, Alecto will immediately seek to rectify it by means of manipulation. She is careful to assess any situation and is often perceived as quite serious. Her laughter is dry; her humor is dark. Alecto seeks to discover truth in all its aspects, which is one of the reasons why she spends her time adapting a more serious outlook.
Family:
She was named after one of the three Furies in Greek mythology. Her name means "unceasing in anger," and Alecto has been very angry from the start. She was born the same year as her brother Amycus. Her parents were very disappointed at the presence of their daughter. Sons were what every distinguished family strived for. Daughters never carried the family name. Therefore, Alecto was treated with little more than indifference from a very early age. This treatment has helped to mold the person she has become today.
Alecto soon learned that she was different from her brother. She could solve problems much more quickly than he could and always emerged victorious from any situation of verbal assault. Instead of isolating her brother for his ignorance, however, Alecto embraced him. He was someone she needed, and her temper quieted under this keen observation. Amycus and Alecto soon became inseparable. They were known as the Carrows, and anyone with a keen eye could see who was the true ruler of the two.
