Anastasie Angele Beaumont was born in a small cottage in the French countryside on a rainy late summer’s day. She was the eldest of a set of twins. She and her fraternal twin, Alexandre Xavier Beaumont, have always been close. When they were three they moved to northern Southampton. The move was partially made so that the twins could go to school together, which Stasie was grateful for, and with growing tensions on mainland Europe England just seemed more secure. The twins grew up in a fairly normal wizarding household, except that their mother was a Veela, making the twins half Veela. Since she grew up also a witch, she decided to make the best of both those lives. She was always charming with an air of grace about her, but also with the magic that came from her father. She was always closer to her mother because she was the one who taught her almost everything she knows, but she’s still always been her daddy’s little princess.

When they were younger, the twins would always compete to see who was better than the other. They’d hold contests involving strength, speed, wits, or anything else they could think up. Despite this, it was all good natured fun, because they are about as close as siblings can be. They also share a mutual interest in adoring their “baby” sister, Anais. Anais is like a miniature version of Stasie, with the same hair and eyes, charming manor, and sweet air of innocence. But the youngest Beaumont is more like her brother in personality. She is quiet and reserved, not necessarily shy, just preferring to keep to herself. Stasie is so protective of her sister, and is almost as close, if not more to her as to Alexandre.

For about a year of her life Stasie had a rebel phase. She resented that people were always attracted to her, only because she was part Veela, and not actually for herself. In that time she decided that she would be as rude as possible and see if people still liked her. After a while of this she realized that when she was mean to people she was friends with, they seemed genuinely hurt about the things she said. She realized then that she did in fact have true friends, not just because she was pretty or charming. She hated the way that people reacted to her during this time, so she vowed never again to purposefully be mean or rude like that to anyone. Her last few years at Hogwarts were the best that she’d ever known, and she thoroughly enjoyed being at school.

After beginning her seventh year of Hogwarts, at around the time of the Halloween dance, Stasie received a letter from her mother that would change her life. Having always known that her mother and father wanted to make sure wealth and power stayed in the family, it was still a surprise when Stasie was given the news that her parents had set up an arranged marriage for her. Even more shocking was that even though Stasie had never known Julien Travert (of the Turati family) she actually did end up falling in love with him. The only misgivings she had about him was that she could never be sure if he would ever love her back.

Soon after her marriage to Julien Stasie became pregnant with her first child Noelle Jacqulene. One year and several months after Noelle she gave birth to her son Killian Ulysses. Her home life was not happy by that point though. Not long after she found out she was pregnant Stasie learned something else. Even though she'd thought Julien was finally warming up to his family life she discovered he'd been cheating on her with Rachel Fawley. She knew she couldn't ask for a divorce and even if she told anyone it wouldn't matter. It was fine if he had a mistress, even better that she was from one of the most prominent pureblood families. She on the other hand couldn't have a relationship on the side. Her family would be disgraced and it was her fear that if she disobeyed the Traverts would take her babies away to be raised in a more "pure" environment.

Even still Stasie did have a short tryst with Draeden Blackwood, though it didn't happen more than once. It was then that she reconnected with an old housemate, Brian McKenna. Beyond flirting she never took any more lovers while married to Julien. It was in the summer of 2028 that she finally decided she'd had enough and took matters into her own hands. She decided that the only way to keep her family together was to kill her husband. An event hosted by the Turati's proved to be the perfect cover. There had already been drama that night so by the time Julien was found she wasn't suspected. She did not know that George Young could read her mind and knew what she'd done but did not say anything. For the first time in a long time she felt free to be able to live her life as she wanted.

Personality Description:
Stasie is the complete opposite of her male counterpart. While Alexandre is moody and quiet, Stasie is very outgoing and outspoken. She often speaks her mind, which has gotten her into trouble before, but she can normally charm her way out of it pretty easily. Being half-Veela, she has always had a natural charm and grace about her, which few people are able to resist. Even though she realizes the affect that Veela have on people, she tries her hardest to make people like her for who she is, not what she is. Stasie knows a lot of tricks when it comes to the opposite gender. Her mother has her very well trained to say and do all the right things around men, so she is pretty flirty with most of them. Normally Stasie has a very even temperament, but given her background, you do not want to piss her off. She can also get very jealous, so if she’s got something against you, watch out!

Even though Stasie is a really sweet girl, she can often come across as shallow or self-absorbed, which she is to a point. Even though she doesn’t think of herself as “the greatest thing since sliced bread” she is still often attracted to mirrors, and is obsessed with looking her best. Other than that she is actually a very sympathetic person and a great listener. She tries to be nice to most people, but she has been known to make some very fast enemies. Taking a joke, as well as telling them, is something she’s always been good at. She doesn’t often get terribly offended easily, as she can be a bit of an airhead. Despite this, her book intelligence level is fairly high.

Most times around when Julien was around Stasie wasn't quite her normal self. She'd be much more guarded with what she said because she knew the affect certain subjects had on his family. Once she found out that he was cheating on her some of her positive outlook on things went away, but rebuilding it slowly. Obviously she will go to extreme measures to make sure she and her children can have better lives. Even though she was capable of murder she has sworn never to do it again. She was just tired of being trapped.


Physical Description:

Weight/Build: Slender
Skin Tone: Creamy ivory
Hair Color and Style: Honey blonde

Stasie is about the average height for her age, and to her credit also has a very slender, graceful build. She has high cheekbones that are accented by the rosy color of her cheeks. Her wavy honey blonde hair frames her face beautifully when it’s down, though most of the time she prefers a fishtail braid or two. She really doesn’t overkill on makeup because she really doesn’t need it. Her skin is healthy and free of zits, and so she usually only does a bit of eye shadow. She would do mascara, but her eyelashes are really long and full already. She has small, delicate hands that have never really seen work. She is a bit embarrassed by her feet, because she feels they are too big, though she only wears an eight and a half. She is envious of her sister in that respect. Her big blue eyes often glisten, even when there is not much light, and the blue is dotted with emerald green. Her clothing normally consists of expensive designer brands, though the styles are not too outlandish. She is never seen without her small silver locket that she got at a Muggle shop. It contains a small moving photograph of her family inside.

Special Talents:
Stasie actually doesn’t have very many unique talents. She’s decent at most stuff, but she’s not spectacular. There are a few classes in school that she has trouble with like potions or charms. Transfiguration is more her forte. She procrastinates much of the time, so her schoolwork isn’t the best it could be, but not for lack of smarts. Despite her problems with charms the class, she lacks nothing when it comes to being charming, if that is in fact a talent. She’s good at painting, mostly when it comes to nails. If she were a Muggle she could make a living at a salon. Most of her talents come in the beauty area. She is great at styling hair and nails and even though she doesn’t use it much herself, she is good at doing others makeup. She can take even the most plain person and turn them beautiful, and she thoroughly enjoys it.

RP Example:
Stasie stood in front of a full length mirror in her dormitory. It was the day of the Yule Ball, and she had spent the entire day getting herself ready for this event. This year a cute boy from Hufflepuff had asked her to be his date, and Stasie had willingly agreed. She had been flirting with the boy for weeks, and was relieved that he had finally worked up enough nerve to spit it out and ask her already. Theo was at least three inches taller than her, but she’d be at least two, if not three inches taller than usual in her heels tonight. She lifted her skirt a few inches and twisted her ankle to get a better view of the shoes. They were silver, encrusted with tiny rhinestones across the strap and near the toes. Her toe nails had been painted the palest shade of blue she could find, and decorated with little white snowflakes.

The dress that her parents had sent her for this had not disappointed her. The top had thin straps, attached to a carefully draped neckline in the front to a criss-crossed down to a low cut back. The skirt went all the way to the floor, and moved with her every movement. The fabric was made of sparkly silver silk, which made it look like falling water when she twirled. Her hair was done up in a fairly simple style. She didn’t really like going elaborate with her hair too much. Two sections in the front had been taken, streaked with silver, twirled, pulled back, and fastened with silver gemmed bobby pins. Her eyelids matched the color, with a light silver sheen of makeup over them, and glitter dust accenting her cheeks.

As soon as she had left the common room she found Theo waiting outside. She started to laugh when she saw the expression on his face. “Close your mouth before something flies in there,” she teased. She was used to people’s reactions to her, but she could still always get a good laugh out of it. It actually hadn’t taken her that long to perfect her look. After all, she only had to shower, brush and style her hair, put the dress on, then add a touch of makeup. Most of the day was actually spent on her nails, cutting, buffing, sculpting, painting, drying. She had already decided she’d achieved the right level of perfection an hour ago. The last hour had been spent in front of a mirror, practicing walking, twirling, and flirty little gestures. She was sure to steal the show tonight, if she got her way, which most of the time, she did.
