Pet:
Seventeen and a half pounds of fur, muscle, and fierce purring, Winston is Astryd’s six year old Maine Coon. In her first year, Winston had been a kitten of indistinct heritage she’d rescued from a Muggle shelter and for a while she thought he was a normal cat – but only because his breed is slow to grow into their full size. He’s now just under four feet long and just over a foot tall at his shoulders. He’s very much his own cat, with a strong personality, but fiercely loyal and protective of Astryd. You will find him
taking up most of in Astryd’s bed every night, and terrorizing the owls at least twice a day.

History: Astryd was born to the Kenmare Kestrels’ star Chaser, Cace Elkridge, and a muggle, Margie Hayworth, who he met in a pub after a winning match. She had a mixed upbringing – her mother wanted her to learn about the muggle world and her father had her on a broom almost as soon as she could walk. She was very interested about learning about both of her parent’s worlds, but the magic that ran in her father’s blood was strong. Incidents of accidental wandless magic as a child were aplenty, winding up with her parents explaining away (or her father Obliviating) the incidents to other parents, teachers, principals and a handful of classmates. It was almost a breath of relief for her parent’s when her Hogwarts letter came.
Her father was a Hufflepuff before her and a star quidditch player for the house team, and with Astryd being so much like her father, so it came as no surprise that she found her way into Hufflepuff as well. In her first year she was a reserve for the house quidditch team, but in her second she was starting and got to show her prowess for the sport. Now, she is the Hufflepuff quidditch team's star chaser and team captain.
