Addie is a hands on person. When she meets you she will shake your hand, or possibly even hug you. She's very outgoing and outspoken to go along with it, if she likes you she will come up to you and hug you, if she hates you she will come up to you and punch you. Overall you see is what you get with her anyway, the bold rebel that cares about her friends more then life itself; but underneath it all she is very insecure with herself since her family has given her no support in life (not the kind she wants anyway). To defend herself she puts up a wall between her and everyone else. While she can deeply care about a person she will never let them know it, and a lot of the times she pushes them away.
Strengths:
Magical: She does very well in hands on learning; she learns through doing and studies very hard to succeed in everything else. She's a natural flier because of this. Her determination mixed with skill in practical uses makes her a natural at it (this is not a great strength but her weakness isn't very strong either)
Personality: Addie is an extroverted doer. She sees something that needs to be done and does something about it.
Weaknesses:
Magical: She has never had much luck using her wand; she thinks that it's possible that she almost became a squib and has naturally given up trying to use it beyond what she needs to.
Personality: She deceives people. She's very guarded about herself and even her closest friends don't really know her. She lies to everyone if she feels uncomfortable about the subject.
Dreams:
Being accepted, being loved, helping people, getting her mother to realize she's wrong
Fears:
People knowing the real her and hating it, becoming a Death Eater against her will.

Gryffindor Aquarius
Gryffindor Aquarians are the social activists and loons of their House. They'll picket for House Elf Liberation. They'll wear their robes inside out because they spent all night reading, not pay attention to how they dressed the next day, and not care if their rumpled appearance is pointed out to them. They are intellectual rebels and will loudly defend their opinions, even if doing so makes enemies. They are apt to question authority. "Even Merlin was wrong, some of the time," they'll say, shrugging. While not particularly good at dealing with crisis situations (they stress out easily) they do tend to have enough foresight to see the situations coming, and prevent them from happening in the first place. They can be flamboyantly talented, but are less interested in using their talent to "make it big" than in using it to make a better life for themselves or other people. Because Gryffindor tends to be a flamboyant house, these oddballs (they are always odd) tend to stick out for being unusual.
Aquarius Sun Sign
Aquarians are visionaries, progressive souls who love to spend time thinking about how things can be better. They are also quick to engage others in this process, which is why they have so many friends and acquaintances. Making the world a better place is a collaborative effort for Aquarians.
Aquarians shower the world with their thoughts and new ideas. Luckily for Aquarians (and the rest of us), they are at a near-genius level, so their minds churn out some amazing things. Their thought process is also inventive and original. While Aquarians are happy to bestow these ideas as a gift with no strings attached, they are much happier when the rest of the world agrees with them. Naysayers will quickly find out that Aquarians can be impatient, even temperamental, with those who disagree.
Even though Aquarians are happy to give, and they do, it's often on their terms and within their comfort level. Generally, that means ample space, since these folks are freedom-loving and individualistic and need to roam (and yes, they do enjoy travel). While Aquarians are generally sympathetic and compassionate, they like it when things go their own quirky way. Some might call their behavior eccentric (and they would be right), but when you consider that the Aquarian's heart is truly in the right place, a few oddities should be overlooked.
Background
Addie has grown up accustomed to the life of privilege but has despised it; born in a wizarding town she has never experiences Muggle life and was taught to despise them when she was growing up. Although she started rebelling from her parents beliefs at an early age. She has never wanted to be a 'proper lady' like her family wanted and she loves to think for herself and resents being told what to do.
She obeyed her parents because she must and didn't want her mom to suffer if she didn't. So when her dad was convicted and sent to Azkaban for being a Death Eater during her third year Addie had finally said enough is enough.
While Her mother has been trying to pick up the pieces of there dignity and public image, Addie has wanted nothing to do with it and has probably only hurt the Blackwood name since then. Addie honestly wants nothing to do with that world that she grew up in and is much happier without any of it.
Her years at Hogwarts were spent making sure everyone knew how much she didn't care about what they thought of her as she ran around seducing taken boys for fun and gaining friends only to hurt them when they got to close. Even though this is all her fault she seems to believe that it proves her point that people don't stay around and that she can't trust anyone but herself.
The one thing that seems like a paradox in this is her love for quidditch. It's quite possible she only loved it because she played beater and her mother hated her for being on the team since it wasn't very traditional. She also loved how she could just be herself out there and people seemed to like her for it.
The only thing Addie does seem to be able to trust are plants and animals. She feels that they have something about them that is unlike people and that they will always be there for her no matter what she does. So it made sense that Addie excelled in Herbology and Care of Magical Creatures and that she left Hogwarts to become an apprentice in a Greenhouse. Although she's not sure if she's committed to that so she only shows up half the time and the other half explores her new found freedom in the world.
