xxxxxPersonal Information
Personality: David tends to try to appear more mature than his age, and picks his battles wisely-or at least based on what he figures is worth arguing about or not. He tends to be quite the bookworm, as well. He has always been at the top of his classes in school from his years in preparatory, preparatory school, and his time in Hogwarts. However, he comes off fairly often as a know it all (or arrogant prat, as his peers tend to point out), and has very little patience for illogical behavior. David has generally immersed himself completely in academics-which he does excel in- though, he does not accept less than perfection from himself. He dreams about being a world renown healer someday. And, his greatest fault is that he tends to know what he is good at and not afraid to show it off, though, he has become very good at hiding what he doesn't do quite so well at.

Fears: not achieving his goals in life (particularly professional).

xxxxxPast
Background Information: David's parents are both from pureblood families. The difference between the two is that his father was a squib and the League Family had a bit of a less questionable history than the Avery family. The Leagues did not disown their Squib son and gave him the resources to succeed utilizing his own intellect in the Muggle world and as a Muggle. There eventually, David's father because a Muggle plastic surgery. Eventually he met a witch, eight years his junior he had known when he was younger, who had been sorted into Slytherin. Sinclair not recognizing Cara Avery when she was an adult just out of Hogwarts. He believed Cara was a muggle and the two started dating-Cara's childhood crush. She had pulled a very elaborate bolstering of her story of being a muggle. Eventually Cara and Sinclair married which was when Cara told her husband she was actually a witch and knew who he was all along.

David was their first child and began to show signs of magic at an early age. His father reluctantly accepted that someday his son would go on to Hogwarts-the school he could never attend. In the meanwhile, his parents enrolled him in one of the most prestigious pre-preparatory and preparatory schools in all of England.

Once sorted into Ravenclaw-partially due to his adamant feelings in not wanting to be placed into Slytherin-David has successfully annoyed most of his classmates and peers and claims he is the 'most hated Ravencalw' and argues that he has more Slytherin traits than Ravenclaw. Regardless, he has slightly mellowed out in personality, is currently dating a Gryffindor in his year, and was named the Conditional Second Heir of the Avery Family and must follow to a set list of restrictions and rules in regards to that position.

Note: During the summer before his 6th year he chose to take the last name of Avery accepting the naming of him as future (conditional) heir of the Avery family.

Rumors He Has Been Involved In

(2024-2025, 2nd year) "Did you see? Leonette Mitchell and David League were spotted at the dance together, they even left together! There has to be something going on between and I bet it's 'cause they're couples!"
Unconfirmed!

(2027-2028, 5th year)Have you seen it yet? There are a couple of pictures floating around of David League and Sapphire Snow with a baby at the museum over the summer. In the picture, Sapphire is blushing at something David said, and later the two are seen kissing.
Unconfirmed Truth

(2027-2028, 5th year)I don't get it... The League siblings are nothing alike! They don't look alike, they don't act alike... there's no way they're really related. They've got to be half-siblings at most.
