First Impression: Alicia Spinnet is vivacious, someone who always tries to look at the positive aspects of life.

Getting to know Alicia Spinnet is simple but getting to know the real Alicia Spinnet is only for those she truly trusts and respects.

Personal History:
Born as the youngest child of Muggle mother Helena and Wizard father Darren, Alicia grew up influenced by both worlds. While daddy Darren and twin brothers Sam and Nigel taught the three-year-old Alicia the basics of Quidditch, mummy Helena wanted to balance out the hardness of Quidditch, and therefore sent the young Alicia to dance school.
She loved the two worlds that she was a part of, but when she received her letter and left for Hogwarts, it was the Wizarding World that became her ‘world’, and when she was chosen for the Gryffindor Quidditch team, as a reserve Chaser, Quidditch became an even more important part of her life than it had been before.
During her seventh year, Alicia joined the DA. At first, it had been to show her support of Harry, but it hadn’t taken long for her to see, the severity of the problem that was brewing around them. Not only for her personally, but for the entire Wizarding World.
Losses during the war: Sam, Nigel and Angelina.
Academia and Career
Excellent/Good/Mediocre/Poor Student? Very good student.
Good at Job? The best, or she wouldn’t have been able to keep her position as a starting player for 8 years in a row.
Does this character's performance accurately reflect their intelligence? Yes and no. While Alicia’s performance in Quidditch does her physical intelligence justice, she has only just begun to show off her social awareness and other aspects of her intelligence to the world.
Most talented in: Potions and Charms.
Struggles with: History of Magic. There is just no way she can keep all those different years and Goblin names separated.
Favourite class during Hogwarts years: Charms, though she liked the results from Potions the best, just not the classes.
Favourite instructor: McGonagall.
Other magical oddities/abilities: None known.
Appearance
Weight: 9 stone.

Dress Style: Laid back and casual in the daytime, though she dresses up when the occasion calls for it.
Possessions always on this person: wand, watch and a necklace with a swallow pendant.
Manner of Speech: Alicia’s a horrible flirt and it shows in the way she speaks. She’s lewd or tawdry, just… flirty.
Manner of Movement: Again, Alicia’s a horrible flirt and that shows in her movement as well, otherwise, she’s agile and moves smoothly, unless she nervous or agitated in which case she’s as clumsy as the best.
Romantic
Marital Status: Single.
Ever Had sex: Yes.
Sexual Preference: straight.
Turn ons: Possessiveness (though too much, and it turns into a turn off), dirty talk, physical appearance, intelligence, challenge, playfulness.
Turn offs: Cowardliness, idiocy, people who can't think for themselves, people with no sense of humour.
Past Relationships:
Dated Oliver Wood during her fifth year, though the relationship developed into a deep friendship, when Oliver left Hogwarts. After school the two friends kept in close contact and after the war, their friendship was always wobbling on the line between friends and lovers, though never anything serious. They each had one night stands with others and enjoyed the social life that came with being a professional Quidditch player. That is, until Alicia began dating Captain of the Ballycastle Bats; Irishman Finbar Quigley, a wizard from an ancient pureblood line and old money. Finbar was a player and the original bachelor, a man with whom Oliver often had butted heads. Oliver tried to warn Alicia about the sort of man Finbar was, with the result that Alicia turned her back on Oliver, with the message that he had no business telling her who she could or could not date.
Alicia’s relationship with Finbar lasts a small year, during which she sees more and more evidence to the fact that Oliver was right. Finbar was the perfect gentleman whenever Alicia accompanied him to assorted society events or when she praised his team’s latest win, however his jealous side shone through when her team beat his or she flirted with male guests (whenever he would drag a female guest to the spare bedroom), and when he publicly announced Alicia’s upcoming transfer from the Pride to the Bats - an intended transfer she had never heard anything about until that very moment - she had enough, and ended the relationship. She has yet to let Oliver know he was right.
Morality
Ever been drunk: Yes!
Lied to a boyfriend: As much as she hates to admit it; yes.
Cheated on a boyfriend: No.
Gotten into a fight: Yes.
Innocent or guilty: Depends on what we’re talking about.
Been a hypocrite in the past: Most likely.
Opinion on the Dark Arts: Nothing good has ever come from them.
Opinion of Voldemort: He got off far, far too easy, yet she still celebrates his death every year.
