PERSONALITY: Annika Cristiano is what most people would call a loner. She doesn't have a lot of close friends, by choice, and doesn't trust people very easily. It's mostly because anybody she's every trusted has let her down in some way or the other. She seems shallow, uncaring and very snobby and selfish. People usually don't count on her to have their backs because she believes in survival of the fittest. She was brought up to be a lady, and the first thing she ever learned was to mask her emotions, something she's very good at.

However, underneath her cold icecube act lies a lost girl. Deep down she does care what other people think about her, but fools herself into believing that she doesn't care. She might not appear that way, but she is an extremely loyal person because she believes the saying "blood is thicker than water". Anybody who can manage to break down her walls, wins her trust reluctantly and she can open up to them. When she's alone, she sometimes sings to herself and can act a little immature. Amidst the raging loyalty, protectiveness and introvert personality, she just wants to be a little girl again, carefree and innocent. She feels like a huge weight is placed upon her shoulders and that nobody understands. This makes her elusive and adds a bit of the hero factor. She is also rather cynical, and has been ever since her dad died. If anyone would walk through her mind, they'd find themselves some very dark and brooding thoughts. She might be a little dramatic, but it's really a way for her to gain attention, yet not get close to others. She doesn't want many friends, just popularity and a little sympathy. However, the moment she's given any sympathy, she scoffs at it.

HISTORY: Annika was born in a small town on the outskirts of Rome to two very happy, young parents. Her mother, a muggleborn from London was thrilled with the prospect of starting a new family in a different, exotic country. They settled down in the same town and, her father being a decendant of an old Italian pureblood line, had more than enough money to last them a long time.
Nicki grew up there, making friends with the Muggle neighbours and was the perfect little girl. When he younger sister was born, she was very angry because she felt like all the attention she'd ever received as a child was directed at this other girl. But when her father told her he trusted her to be a good sister, she immediately took on the responsibility for her Annabelle and came to love the baby like her own. They grew up very close to each other, Anna always following Nicki and trying to be just like her. It was a perfect life. Having her father come from a rich pureblood family and her mother from a well known old money family, Nicki was brought up with impeccable manners and to believe that she could get whatever she wanted, whenever she wanted it. She was taught how to be a lady, yet was given anything and everything in a silver platter.

However her family's happiness was short lived. When she was 9 years old, her father started growing distant and elusive, which led poor little Nicki to feel lost and confused. Always having been a daddy's girl, she didn't quite understand. A year later her father was brutally murdered, leaving scars in the entire family.
Nicki remembered and shut herself in. The once vibrant young woman grew cold and sheltered. She believed that if she pretended not to care and kept everything together then nothing bad would ever happen to them again. Her mother, fearing the lives of her two daughters moved to London, her hometown. They moved into the same old, muggle mansion (Nicki's grandfather's) which was left to them through a will and tried to start a new life. Nicki was home schooled till she was twelve because her mother was scared to lose her daughter. A lot of suspicion surrounded the death of their father and her mother deemed it unsafe for Nicki to go far from the house. However, when homeschooling became too difficult along with running a house, her mother reluctantly enrolled her for her third year.

Nicki came to Hogwarts, lost and wounded, not quite understanding what more life would bring her, causing her to distance herself from people and not maintain stable relationships. However, she slowly started to interact with her peers and learnt that not everyone was out to get her. She made better friends with the Slytherin classmates because they were generally less bubbly and she found it easier to interact with them. That's when she became good friends with a boy named Kale Lestrange, who was a year ahead of her. Handsome and an amazing person, he was pretty much everything her teenage heart yearned for and she ended up falling for him.

She never told him this, though because she felt it would make things awkward. The summer before her sixth year, they ended up getting drunk and having sex, and the next morning she was the happiest person in the world. She honestly thought, in a moment of naivety, that it meant that they would be together, but when he made things clear, they had a falling out. She practically had no friends after that, and spent most of her sixth and seventh year without company, until she opened up to the new girl Adelaide.

After graduating, she moved on to become an Obliviator at the Ministry, and is now living in her family mansion with her best friend Adelaide.

"Annika dumped her bag on the table and took a seat in the corner of her room. Pulling out the play she was currently reading, she put on her glasses and continued, pretending not to notice the ruckus her housemates created. Merlin, it's like nobody can get a minute of silence in here... she thought, to herself. There was the sound of giggles and she turned to look a the fireplace, where the flames danced. For a second, just a second she was tempted to go and join her classmates. No. She mustn't. She cannot. She shook her head and turned back to the book."
