Background Information: Winifred is the daughter of the Avery who was one of the first Death Eaters (he went to school with Tom Riddle) and the older sister to the Avery who went to school with Snape and ended up getting tortured for his bad info in OoTP. She's a pureblood (of course) who was sorted into Slytherin like the rest of her "upstanding" family. Since this is Voldie's first rise to power, I assume she passed all Ministry background checks because her family hasn't yet been publically revealed as Voldemort supporters. I also assume that Dumbledore would be the only one to know about Tom Riddle and Avery being 'friends' at school together, let alone the fact that Voldemort and Tom Riddle were one and the same person.

Winifred is quiet but, not unusually so. She normally makes friends easily and invites confidences. However, she is something of a pureblood snot and is used to being waited on hand and foot. I haven't quite decided on how things will work out but, I think she'll end up being one of Rookwood's numerous Ministry contacts so, in an indirect way she'll be a spy for Voldemort. I'm not even sure that information is pertinent to the RP but, we'll see what happens.

Update: Sieved scenes reveal Avery Sr. attacked Matilda Bagshot and was on trial before Fred's acceptance into auror training. Once he was cleared she was allowed to join up. However, no one realizes that she has been trained by Voldemort and commissioned to gather information as an auror. Fred is a big believer in the movement at first and is honored for the task, however Voldemort scares the crap out of her and she is probably ruled more by fear (for herself and her family) than loyalty.
