PERSONALITY:[/b] Maya is one of those people where their facial expressions never seem to match up with what they are feeling. Beneath her constantly smug expression, she is actually rather whimsical. She loves being crazy and doing crazy things. She is also rather optimistic, and she doesn't mind if someone does badly to her as long as they apologize. She is also a little bit of a flirt and likes flirting with guys, but she hasn't been in a long-term relationship yet. She also finds anything interesting easily.
She is rather stubborn and often doesn't do what others tell her to to, and even when they come out not the way she wanted it to she often acts as if she's okay with it, which she probably is. She gets frightened easily, and sometimes she can be described as annoying because she tends to yell in everyone's faces. She isn't that particularly clever but she doesn't care one bit. She is also not the most dedicated person in the world - the piano is the one exception. Her weirdness might turn people off her because it is so weird it is almost extreme at times.

HISTORY:[/b]
Amaya Boulstridge was born in a Muggle hospital in Leicester, England. She was born in the middle of the night, and she was a couple of days premature. However, she didn't suffer any serious complications or needed to be kept in an incubator, though she was rather small. Her babyhood was not particularly interesting, but her mother who had retired when she was pregnant with her, was a bit eccentric and she often had weird dresses and weird shirts that she would wear around the house.
Just as Maya hit school and was old enough to truly understand her mother and her quirkiness, it was then when the young girl started to adopt her mother's quirkiness. For her first day of school, she had a headband which had a reindeer antler on top with a red and green scarf circling her neck. Her long sleeved shirt was plain white, and her black and white stockings went well with her blue slippers. Needless to say, her fashion style was mocked by her classmates and she did not get along with them at all except for a quiet girl named Jessica, who later became her only friend. Her classmates did not hesitate to start taunting her when they had the chance, calling her 'weirdo' and other cruel names Maya chooses to forget.
For the first few weeks, Maya went around the house looking like she has lost her soul. She was lifeless and she was constantly scared when anyone talked to her. Liliana Boulstridge was used to her daughter's exuberance and did not like her new attitude much, and to try and get it back, she did the only thing she could think of: send her to piano lessons so she could release her anger and her fear through music. At first, young Maya was a little hesitant about playing the instrument, but she soon got used to it and she realized that a piano was like her confidant and she could let her feelings out on it, and soon enough, she became more self-confident and started being proud of her quirkiness.
Funny things started to happen when Maya was six. One afternoon, when she was angry with her classmates after they spilled her lunch on the floor, she thought about one of them covered in spaghetti when she was closing her eyes trying not to cry. When she opened them, the same exact person was covered in spaghetti. And lots of it. No one knew how it came to be, including Maya herself. She also noticed that flower buds, even after she picked them, seemed to grow in her hand and that plants grew whenever she was around. Even though the events were strange, Maya thought them wonderful, and so did her mother.
Year Two and Year Three passed by quickly, and by then Maya has become close friends with Jessica and they went to each other's houses often and even with their conflicting personalities they were pretty close. Although in those three years, Maya has never met her brother Michael. Being inexperienced with love (or as primary kids all it, 'who likes who') and because he was really nice to er, Maya quickly fell for him, and it was obvious from the very start since she kept staring at him whenever she could and she always tried to talk to him, even when Jessica was around. Eventually, he told her that he didn't like her that way, and for a while she was really heartbroken even when she didn't try to show it, though they remained good friends.
Year Five came too slowly for Maya. Even though she was happy with her friends and her piano was going well, she was still taunted by her classmates for being magical - but she didn't call it that at the time - and for being different, and as much as she didn't want to show it she has had enough. The trigger was when she rode home from school one day on her bike, and she bumped into some of her classmates. Her books crashed on the floor and they started throwing it around, leaving Maya to pick up the books by herself. As soon as she got home, she decided that she would be homeschooled from then on. At first, it didn't go well with her parents, but after petitions, strikes, and lots of fights, to say the least, they finally gave in, leaving Liliana Boulstridge to teach her daughter most of the things she would need such as history, science and art.
The summer after Maya turned eleven, she received a rather odd letter in the mail from the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Everyone in the Boulstridge household - even (especially) Maya herself - thought it was a prank from the neighbours. They ignored the letter until a week after it arrived when a strange person arrived in the house, and he introduced them to the wonderful magical world with all its wonders such as Quidditch and spells and potions. Maya fell in love with Diagon Alley the moment she saw it, and from that moment on she believed in the letter, and she couldn't believe her ears when the visitor told her she was going to that school in the autumn. Even though Maya was excited, her sisters did not feel the same way. She ignored them.
When Maya arrived at Hogwarts, her excitement quickly turned to dread when she thought about her childhood memories as a nobody in a large school. She was scared that she would be mistreated again and she would be taunted for the next seven years of her life. Even after she was sorted into her house and everyone tried to talk to her, she vowed to stay silent and watch how her housemates reacted. She half-expected to be as cruel and judgmental as her old schoolmates, but they weren't. They were almost as different and interesting as she was, and from then on she let herself loose and introduced herself to all of her housemates, and that was when she made most of her friends. She didn't do particularly well in classes but she didn't do badly either, so she was content with most of her life.
During the summer before her Second Year, Maya received a surprise trip to Vienna, Austria with just her mother. It was relieving for Maya because she had missed her mother terribly when she was in Hogwarts and all she wanted to do when she went home was to spend time with her mother again, because she was scared of losing the close bond she had with her. In Vienna, Maya and her mother spent lots of time together strolling through the gardens and the museums as they sipped cups of coffee and talked about what they did when they were apart.
When she had to choose her electives in Third Year, Maya chose Care of Magical Creatures because she had always liked animals and thought that it would be a fun subject to do. She also picked Divination because she was always like to learn what was to come and plus, she thought it was worth a try. She didn't regret Care of Magical Creatures one bit because she really enjoyed learning in the class. She was a little scared of Divination at first, though, but she soon got used to all of the things she had to learn and she did enjoy it.
The summer before Fourth Year was one of Maya's more relaxed summers. That was because her sisters were both gone from the house as they were both going to university in the autumn. So, for Maya, it was heaven on earth. She got to play on the swings of her complex like a child for the first time in her life, and she could walk around the house without having the need to hide all the time. She also got back together with her friend Jessica who taught her of 'The Art of Flirting', which explains Maya's rather flirtatious demeanor during Fourth Year.
During Fifth Year, Maya was relaxed about her OWLs. She didn't go to great lengths to study like some of her yearmates did. All she really did was revise all the topics she learned in class and double check that she had made sure everything she had learned before was still in her mind. (Which explains her rather odd habit of carrying all of her textbooks from first year in her bag sound rather reasonable.) Her relaxed attitude did pay off: she got Os in Divination, Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, Charms and Transfiguration, and Es in Potions and History of Magic. She had one A in Herbology.
Spending her summer rejoicing over her OWL results, Maya is ready to go back to Hogwarts with a smile on her face.
