general appearance
Physically, she's somewhat petite, roughly 5'2 with good shoes on and still growing (she claims, at least).
Golden-brown skin that she takes very good care of, long dark curly hair she keeps natural, though at times cuts it to be a tapered afro, and spells it to grow she she wants longer hair again. Since the coups, she's rarely chopped it short, keeping more in style with pureblood trends.
Under brows that she shapes herself, she has deep brown/nearly-black eyes usually alight with cheerfulness, cunning, or carefully blank.
She likes to try to half-flaunt dress code whenever she can-- while she follows the rules, it's always a "barely".

character history
Amelia was born in the last hours of June 20th, 2001. Shortly after, her twin brother Athazaz born on June 21st. Their parents were unmarried and that that point, had completely sickened of each other.
Their mother had decided how their names would be split, and gave Amelia her father’s surname, mostly to be spiteful. The Zabinis were no longer as influential as they had been before, and Amelia would be able to easily change her name once she was older. Her brother Athazaz would have their mother’s surname, as to carry it on to the next generation and keep the name of Bones from dying out. It only benefitted Amelia, however.
Susan Bones was proud of being half-blood, and did her best to install that pride into her children. Their paternal grandmother was rather ashamed of their blood status, and made sure that the twins knew that their blood was tainted by a Muggle great-grandmother.
Blaise Zabini had been deemed a “lesser offender” by the Ministry-- he had not borne the Dark Mark, but had certainly supported Death Eaters, and helped them out. He had not been sent to Azkaban, but had been forced to go on work release.
During Amelia’s formative years, she was raised primarily by her mother, and by her paternal grandmother (as her father was in the work release program), giving her two very different sets of ideals and expectations. She learned to quickly be able to flip back and forth to please whichever woman she was with most. Amelia learned to be perform to her grandmother’s more lofty and distant expectations and her mother’s casual hatred for Death Eaters and their family. She often took the lead when she was alone with her brother, having both a more domineering and optimistic personality than he. She realized why she was kept-- she was to be useful, a tool in either hand.
In 2007, she distanced herself from her father, unsure if he would be considered not fit for society. She spent her time gluing herself to her grandmothers, who she thought would be safer bets. Two years later, she witnessed her jidda being called in and away for questioning, laying in her a fear of the Ministry and what to could to people. Though her grandmother had returned, Demaordimah was sharper to her and Athazaz. She hadn't been kind before, but she'd rarely used spells and pain to push lessons in. As conditions and questions worsened, Amelia buried herself in her own half-blood identity.
She turned eleven and finally started attending Hogwarts. Her brother was one of the first Sorted, and Amelia was near-dead last, if not absolutely last. He'd gotten Hufflepuff-- and he never looked at her. The Hat was on her for perhaps a second or so before shouting out her own House of Slytherin. She'd started with some acquaintances, and she grew closer to others. Things were growing harder, growing worse. She knew they could only stretch so far-- so she'd be best on the side to win, best to act her best, and please her father's family.

family history
His mother's paternal family was a solid English family. While the Bones were never a largely influential family, there were always Bones in Magical Law Enforcement, and previous to that, the Wizard's Council, in high-ranking positions. There was a saying in the family that sometimes would spread out-- but with mocking humor, rather than the pride the family took from it: "Bones form the backbone of the law, and become bones shortly after". While they more often took the side of what some might eventually call the "Light", favoring rights for all magical creatures, they had a strong reputation of being fair, and favoring the law. Though they often married other similarly-inclined or neutral families, Elidor Bones married a Burke, and his son Acanthus Bones married Leta Nott, who at the time was not yet disinherited. For all their more Light-inclined views, Bones were overtly neutral-- save of course, when wars came around, when they'd pick a side and run into battle.
In the First Wizarding War, the Boneses were all but wiped out, leaving two siblings and a small child. Amelia Bones was killed a year before the official start of the Second Wizarding War, and Aedric Bones passed of natural causes very shortly before the start of the War.
His mother's mother's family were Flints, who were proud of their placement on the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Brutus Flint, Athazaz's great-grandfather, married a Muggle-born women who successfully passed herself off as a witch of magical heritage. Truthfully, Carina Smith had been adopted by her wizarding step-father and had the same surname as him, so the "deception" had mostly not been purposeful. She and Brutus had two children: Argentia and Agatha Flint. Shortly before the younger of the two sisters started attending Hogwarts, Brutus found out what he perceived to be the truth, and killed his wife for it. Shortly after, Brutus was apprehended by Aurors and sent off to Azkaban, where he quietly died in 1993. His two children were raised by other family until they came of age.
The Zabinis are Italians of Maghrebi descent, who settled in Spain, then Italy, and fled into England following the Italian unification, where they thrived as a pureblood family, breeding for beauty and money rather than status. To preserve their history and culture, the Zabinis preferred brides and husbands of similar heritage, though when Azad Zabini married Zhāng Lihua, the pattern seemed to change, until their son married Demaordimah Shafiq-- though then the couple’s son married a white woman of English heritage.
Demaordimah (also known as Desdemona)'s branch of Shafiqs were a well-known lot.
It was talk of Grindelwald and his search for acolytes that drew her grandfather, Nadir Shafiq, to western Europe, initially. After all, muggles truly were the problem, and the Shafiqs were a proud pureblood family. There was no doubt about that. It would be a cold day in hell that a Shafiq dared to mix blood with anything less than a pure, and not face the consequences of such a heinous action. By the time the Pureblood Directory was published in the early 1930s, the Shafiqs had left enough of a mark via their involvement with Grindlewald to be included.
Of course, all good things must come to an end. By the time Grindelwald fell from power in 1945, Rayyan Shafiq, was due to marry Amalia Orpington, ten years his junior. But acolytes were being thrown in jail, and even a young Rayyan had already been heavily involved in Grindelwald's mission. The marriage was carried out before Amalia became of age, by her parents' permission, and the couple moved to Dubai, with Amalia finishing her studies at Uagadou. In 1949, they had their first child, Yasmine Shafiq, followed, finally, by a son in 1955--Amir Shafiq.
Unfortunately, this ended in tragedy. Amalia died during childbirth. Feeling the loss of his wife deeply, the timing of it all was too convenient. Amir was called back to Britain, with news of his father being released from Azkaban. Too convenient is a hardly an over-exaggeration, as he was arranged to marry Leticia Shacklebolt within the year. They were married in 1957, and welcomed their only child and daughter, Demaordimah Shafiq, in 1961.
The Shafiqs, newly returned, settled down in Britain once more--strategically, this time. All three of Amir's children attended Hogwarts. All Slytherins, naturally. And, in the midst of it all, they revived old connections. Made it well known to the names that mattered, the son of Rayyan Shafiq, grandson of Nadir Shafiq, had returned. When the Dark Lord began to gather his followers, branding them with his Dark Mark, Rayyan, Amir, and Yasmine were quick to get in line, though Dema was too young. They fought well, making their loyalties known within pureblood circles.
When the Dark Lord fell, too, it was not all that difficult to fall into old habits. Rayyan took the fall for Amir, allowing him the chance to get away--to France, this time, where his promised wife was conveniently residing. Yasmine, unfortunately, already wed to Amos Proctor, had no choice but to remain in England alongside her new family.
Amir Shafiq married Orianne Volant in 1981, as soon as he arrived in Brittany. The couple, unfortunately, had great difficulty having children. First, a daughter in 1984, Danya Shafiq. Then, finally once more in 1989, another daughter, Karima Shafiq. The couple continued to try unsuccessfully for a son. Devastated, Amir sought out his family in Britain once more, hoping a change of pace might improve their family, somehow. Sure enough, Amir and Orianne managed to make their way to England--just in time to join the ranks of the Death Eaters again.
Orianne got marked this time, too, and the couple was completely absorbed by the mission for purity. Once the dust settled, again with a loss for the Death Eaters, and Amir's father dead... Rayyan had to protect his family. Tired of fleeing, Amir and his family went into hiding--and it was during this time that Orianne finally fell pregnant again.
Desdemona's seven husbands were were all quite similar-- men of good heritage, wealthy, and of course, dead some time after marrying her.
