↪PERSONALITY
✚Cautious - I'm cautious, as in I tend to not jump into things too easily. I would rather observe and determine of something's safe or not, but feel really uncomfortable when I venture into the unknown. There's a lot of unknowns for me though, which doesn't help. ✚Cynical - I'm cynical. I've seen a lot of bad things in my youth that I would rather forget, and have had a lot of bad things happen to me. I think the worst first and foremost, and have to be proven wrong to change my mind. ✚Flamboyant - I'm flamboyant. I rather like being dramatic and expressing myself, even if sometimes what I'm expressing isn't the true me. I'd rather be heard than fall into the background, and would rather be known for who I am now as opposed to how I used to be. ✚Evasive - I'm evasive. I always try to change the subject whenever the subject of my past comes up, and lie more often than not when confronted with questions about myself. I try not to let people know about what I've done as much as possible, as I'm afraid that I'll end up in jail or worse. ✚Focused - I'm focused. I start on a task and stick with it until it's complete. As a result, I also happen to be highly organized. I can remember quite a bit from everything I pick up, and because of it, happen to be pretty good with details.

↪CHILDHOOD
I was born to Hamnet and Josephine Strudwick. I am the oldest of two sons, being born two years before Hamilton. We grew up together under the same roof, where we were practically ignored by our parents. Our mum never wanted to interact with us, and our father was always busy with work and maintaining the family image. Instead, we were essentially raised by the house elves, and we spent many hours with them. While it might have been a lonely childhood, it wasn't all that bad. That is, until Hamilton displayed magic and I didn't. Shortly after Hamilton turned five, he managed to grow flowers in our nursery. Father was happy with Hamilton, but when it became apparent I wasn't casting any magic, he started trying to push me, trying anything to get me to display it. However, it never showed. He came into the my room late one night after his attempts and dragged me out of bed by my hair. I tried pleading with him that I hadn't done anything, but he didn't listen. The last thing I remember is a flash of light, and then darkness.
When I came to, I remembered nothing. My first memories were of me finding myself on the street, with no recollection of how or why I was there. I wandered for a bit, until I was picked up by local children services. They took me to an orphanage, where I lived while they tried to piece together my identity. I could offer nothing, so they stuck me with a name until they could find out what happened.
I didn't like it there though. They kept on asking me question after question about where I was from, and I kept telling them the same thing: I didn't remember. I ran away after a while, and ended up on the wrong side of things. A man took me in named Paul, but that's where my troubles start. He decided to use me for a decoy for some of his shadier things, and I helped, mostly because I was afraid. I didn't want to go back to the orphanage, but I had nowhere else to go. Finally, weird stuff started happening around me, and then an owl of all things decided to show up. It had a letter for me, and I read it, pocketing the tickets inside. However, Paul found the letter and told me it wasn't happening, and I decided to run again. This was a chance for me to do better for myself, and I was going to prove it.
↪SCHOOLYEARS
First year wasn't so bad. I was sorted into Slytherin, and found myself surrounded by other people I didn't know if I could trust. I made no friends, but I attribute that to the fact that I pretty much looked like I just came from the street, and acted like it. I also had a tendency to lie like nothing else.
Second year wasn't bad either, unless you count the fact I started finding myself looking at guys instead of girls. I managed to get by well enough on my own during the summer, and didn't even think to look for Paul and tried to survive on my own. Afterward, when I went back to school, I well, I found myself staring at Benjamin Rivers-Blakely, a lot. I ended up seeing if maybe it was just a phase, and tried to see about taking a girl to the Yule Ball. Sadly, I think I must have screwed up, because I guess I insulted Arianna Davenport and well, yeah...
Third year, that started as a mess. I thought I was safe during the summer, as I hadn't seen Paul at all during that time. However, he caught up with me. That was a mixed blessing, as I had to deal with him, but I also met the Holts. Elliott and his brother managed to get him to let me go to their place, and well, I didn't go back to where he was. The school year was okay, but only insofar as I enjoyed my classes. My social life, well, it just sucked. I was of the mindset that if Paul found me, then he could find me again, and with my realization that I was gay, well, that meant that Paul would murder me. Literally. I was in such a state of denial about it, that I tried to date another girl, Jojo, but that ended up backfiring spectacularly. In the end, I guess Elliott and Jojo decided to blackmail me into staying at Elliott's house for the summer, and I decided to agree, partially glad that I wouldn't have to meet Paul at all over the summer.
Fourth year, well, it was pretty interesting. I think I worried Kenneth with a sudden dizzy spell from me trying to remember something about my past, which brings me to what I've been trying to do, remember. He also managed to manipulate things into a way to actually take what he's been trying to give me. I have a pseudo-job at his work as a result, and refused to take anything unless I paid for it myself. Then during school, I ended up running into Strudwick again. This kid seems to have it out for me or something, calling me a squib and harassing me. He even assaulted me after one of my dizzy spells and we ended up exchanging insults. Later that year, I found Elliott in the library studying about legilimency, and I decided to ask him if it would work on amnesiacs. He didn't know, and it came out about my issues remembering anything before I was seven. I think I horrified Elliott, especially since not long before, we had actually started dating. He said he'd ask about it, but well, I'm not sure if I want to know the answer. The end of the year, however, ended with a bang when some psychos decided to attack the station when the students were departing. I don't recall much of the attack, since Strudwick decided to shove me into the path of an oncoming curse. When I came to, well, something made me realize that maybe I needed to reevaluate my view of the world, since I had been working under the assumption that everything I got, I had to earn. I mean, it's not a bad thing to go by, but not to the extremes I had learned from Paul.
Fifth year, I was made a prefect, and was constantly harassed by Elliott for it. Not that it meant much, since I harassed him right back about campaigning to make him head boy. We also made a pact to study before snogging. Benji swore that I was going to make him look bad, but I don't frankly care. Besides, if he was so adamant about people making him look bad, he should really look at what he's doing and fix himself. In any case, we took our OWLs, and well, I think I did all right. I won't know until the summer though.
Six year was pretty quiet at first. Since me and Elliott had passed our exams, I managed to persuade Kenneth to take us to the beach for a vacation. We also went to a party, where Jojo and Elliott proceeded to try and outdrink each other. Jojo won, and Elli was left a drunk, clingy mess afterward. I didn't touch a drop, recalling what usually happened when I actually did drink and reminding myself that I didn't need that in my life. When we returned to school, I proceeded to work hard in my studies, especially since Jojo asked me to join her in Animagus studies. However, Valentine's Day, the school had a masquerade. I went with Elli naturally, but then ran into a problem where he became upset about me seeming to make fun of his drunken confession. I didn't react well to him being angry, instead going into a panic attack when he stated that I wasn't telling the truth when I admitted I loved him too. When he finally calmed me down enough, I finally admitted a lot of what happened to me when I was younger. I didn't go into all of it, because I really don't want to remember it, but it was enough that I don't think I'd ever seen Elliott angrier. Toward the end of the year, I managed to complete my animagus training and turn into a cat. I guess that explains why I'm always lounging everywhere, especially Elliott's lap.
The summer before my seventh year was bad. Just really bad. I went out to get a birthday present for Elliott, and ended up being kidnapped instead. My kidnapper turned out to be my father, who had decided to restore my memories and I guess rewrite the rest. I escaped, but not before he had already undone the memory charm that had been placed on me, sending my mind into a complete mess. When I escaped, I ended up wandering around London and its suburbs for a while. I... don't exactly remember how long, as my mind was such a mess that I couldn't even remember if I was Pancras or Jesse, and it didn't help that I had somehow transformed into a cat and couldn't remember how to turn back. Elli ended up finding me, and took me back home, where for the rest of the summer I had trouble trying to stay in the present, even freaking out at Kenneth and Verily a few times since I literally was having major flashbacks. Elliott didn't think it was a good idea for me to go back to school, but I did it anyway. That was when I discovered that I had a cousin I didn't know about, as well as Hamilton being disowned. I spent the good part of the first half of the year recovering from my mental trauma, and then the last half desperately studying for NEWTs. Which leads to the fact that Arden, my cousin, decided to seek me out. Apparently he wanted to know about why I had been cast aside, since he hadn't heard about what happened to me. Needless to say he was horrified, though not as horrified as I was when I discovered that Hamilton had apparently been bitten by a werewolf. Then Elliott and I found out that Jojo had disappeared. Just up and vanished. I'm not an optimist, and I'm afraid that something horrible has happened to her. I wish I was, but I'm afraid that I'm going to be proven right.

↪PERSONALITY
✚Arrogant - I believe myself to be better than everyone around me. Family, friends, classmates, professors, they aren't nearly the wizard that I am. I refuse to view myself in another light, and when others try and show me my flaws, I scoff at them. I am the result of perfect breeding for generations, and if people cannot realize that, then that is their own fault, not mine. ✚Volatile - My temper is easily ignited, especially around those I consider lesser. I am likely to get violent when I get agitated, and I don't back down when provoked. I can reign myself in with difficulty, but that usually occurs when the object of my current ire is not around. My temper is nearly impossible to reign in when it comes to my brother, however. ✚Deliberate - Everything I do, I do for a purpose. I tormented my own brother in an attempt to get rid of him, and I push myself harder than one might realize to actually succeed. As a result, I have a very strong work ethic, and have a drive to succeed where others might falter. I always have an end goal in mind, and refuse to be swayed from it. ✚Narrow-Minded - I'm a pureblood elitist. I don't lie about it, and I don't pretend to play nicely with those that I consider to be lesser than myself. As I was raised to believe that I was superior to those around me, I took those teachings to heart and look down at those who even fall into the categories of halfbloods, mudbloods, muggles, and squibs. This also includes halfbreeds, which unfortunately is the category that I have fallen into. ✚Resigned - Ever since being turned, I've realized that the only person I can truly trust not to betray me in the end is myself. My mother and father discarded me, and my older brother is worse than filth, and I find myself with few options and even fewer places to turn to. As a result, I have decided to act in my own interests, and have come to realize that no matter what, the only dependable person is myself.

↪CHILDHOOD
I was born to Hamnet and Josephine Strudwick, two years after my brother Pancras was born. My early life was filled with a form of loneliness due to being ignored by my parents, but at the time I still had Pancras around. That changed when I turned five. I exhibited magic at an early age, while he exhibited none. As a result, I was practically my family's favorite child, while my brother was cast out. Of course, when the thing was disowned, I became more and more convinced of my superiority, and of course received my Hogwarts letter. I expect I will become a Slytherin like the long line of family before me.
↪SCHOOLYEARS
When I got to Hogwarts, my expectations were realized when I was sorted into Slytherin. I found few friends, and took an immediate dislike to the squibspawn Ivy Bishop and her friends. I also discovered that Pancras was attending school as well, under a new name, Jesse Calvert. I became angry at him, and decided that the best way to prove that I was better than him was to make the squib see that I was the better son.
My second year wasn't that bad. I continued to have altercations with my brother, including one memorable event where I ended up confronting him at school and told him that he should leave school immediately. That never happened, and when summer came, I was eager to get back home. However, that ended up with me and the rest of the school being attacked by Death Eaters. I took this as a prime opportunity to try and get rid of Pancras for good, but ended up being stunned and tied up.
Third year was relatively quiet, although it was filled with more coursework from electives. However, during Defence Against the Dark Arts, I realized what my boggart was. I just pray that no one else noticed it, and if they did, they kept their mouths shut. I am and never will be Pancras, not if I have anything to say about it.
Fourth year began easily enough, but soon devolved into a year of catastrophic occurences for me. First, during winter break, I ran across a pair of what I assumed were dogs. My hypothesis was proven incorrect when I was attacked and subsequently bitten by the larger of the two. I ended up in a fevered state from the experience, and when my father found out, we had possibly the last quarrel that we'd ever have. I ended up screaming at him that he was discarding me just like Pancras, and that he made a grave error if he assumed that the squib was an actual squib. He threw me out of the house, and I returned to school in disgrace, with nowhere to go and no one to turn to when the school year ended.
Fifth year continued with the string of catastrophic occurrences. First, I was named Prefect, which wouldn't have been so bad had I not been stuck with my 'alpha' all summer. This just cemented in my mind that I had fallen from grace, since he was teamed up with none other than a madwoman. I spent the entirety of the summer hating my situation, which only got worse when I returned to school. I learned that my cousin was attending Hogwarts, and he had the audacity to collude with halfbloods and mudbloods. He then proceeded to tell everyone I was a werewolf, and I swear, if I could, I would murder him. Arden has no respect for the family, and it is clear in his choices. Also, the squib I believe remembers everything, which is troublesome because it could mean trouble for my family if it was discovered.

✚Rebellious - I don't listen to authority that much. I do what I want, when I want, and I don't care what others think about it. I'll do things my own way, and not care if someone else tells me otherwise. ✚Survivalist - At the same time, I happen to be big into self-preservation. If something happens to be better for me in the long run, I'll do it. I also will listen to someone in a position of authority if it means that I'll survive. ✚Pragmatic - I happen to be big into common sense. I use logic when it dictates that it's necessary. That includes doing what I need to to make sure that I happen to be safe. While people might label me as selfish, I don't view it that way. ✚Blunt - I don't beat around the bush. I don't see a reason to, and I don't care what people think of me as a result. I'll say what I feel needs to be said, and if people's feelings happen to be hurt, it's not my problem. That's just the way I am. ✚Sarcastic - I'm also highly snarky. What comes out of my mouth can be construed as biting at times, and I don't filter myself. Why bother? If nothing else, I'm the way I am and I don't care what other people think about me.

↪CHILDHOOD
I'm an orphan, my loving family killed in a car accident. I went to live at the orphanage, and everything was fine. That is, until Paul entered my life. b*****d kidnapped me from the orphanage, and decided to threaten me to do what he wanted. Considering I have a high value of my own life and would rather not end up dead in a gutter, I went along with it. That is, until I was able to extract myself from the situation.
See, I don't like being told what to do, at least by people that want to do me harm, and decided to take matters into my own hands. I kept putting some of the money I was stealing for the guy aside, and when I saw my opening, I took it. I called a cab and told them where I was going, and yes, they were skeptical, but I convinced them I needed to go there. When I got back to the orphanage, it was really a big relief, since I'd been gone for almost a year. Probably gave that Paul guy a heart attack or something, since I gave information for where the jerk really was.
Not long after that, I found out I was a wizard. I was surprised, and ironically had been doing magic while I'd been kidnapped. Thankfully, I was able to get my supplies and am on my way to school.
↪SCHOOLYEARS
First year wasn't too bad, with me being sorted and probably insulting the majority of the Slytherins in my year. I don't care, though, considering I still managed to get through the year just fine. Gia, one of the Slytherin girls in my year, invited me to her place over the summer. I'll have to think on that.
Second year wasn't that bad, either, although I heard some students in my year were caught going into the Forbidden Forest. Idiots. Between that and the attack on Hogsmeade when we were leaving school the last time and I'd say that this school was insane. I ended up mostly spending my time boarding around the school and minding my own business. Honestly, nothing else better to do around the school anyway, and I wasn't about to do something idiotic.
Third year, lemme just start off by saying that I absolutely hate puberty. Gia came to school with boobs, and then decided to get mad at me because I tried to avoid looking at them. Needless to say, the school year was spent avoiding any mention of said new appendages. Gia and I ended up going to the masquerade ball, and just spent all our time snarking about the outfits and the flood of hormones surrounding us. That was probably the only good thing about the stupid event.
Fourth year went about as expected. Spent an awkward train ride with Gia because my brain helpfully decided to remind me about Paul the b*****d™. Then the school year went okay, except I think Tristan's got some kind of ridiculous rivalry with some Hufflepuff kid. Anyway, I ended up being invited and climbed all over at this wedding that Steffi invited me to, and now I'm just going to spend my summer anywhere but the orphanage this summer. I swear, the kids there don't know anything about personal space.

↪PERSONALITY
✚Clever - I'm actually pretty clever. I have a lot of ideas running around in my head, and can figure out a lot of things quite easily. I also happen to think quickly and am cunning enough to figure out solutions that help me out in the long run. ✚Manipulative - I'm also very skilled at getting what I want. I know I'm the youngest in my family, and with the current climate, am the only male that's available left to inherit. My father says that's because his brother made a lot of mistakes, but my mother insists that the family's cursed or something. I'm not sure I believe her, but it seems awfully suspicious that both my cousins either vanish or are disowned leaving me the sole inheritor. ✚Friendly - Despite my upbringing, I'm actually fairly friendly. While me and my family do live in a predominantly muggle neighborhood, I never saw the reason to stay away from the other kids like my father and mother insisted. Thankfully, I'm able to convince my parents that I'm still following with tradition when I interact with what they say are those lesser than me. ✚Thoughtful - I always think before I say or do anything. I don't like hurting people if I can help it, and tend to try and make sure that the right thing is done instead of the easy thing. I consider every angle before I act, and try to convince others to a more logical plan of action rather than something spontaneous. ✚Traditional - Surprisingly, I'm still very traditional. I do prefer to hold to the old ways of acting like a gentleman and act in ways that are right and proper. However, what constitutes as right and proper does change over time, and while my parents might believe that they're right, they're not. Prejudice never is, and looking at the rest of my family, I'd have to say that I'd rather be proper and still be a decent person as opposed to to acting in an uncivilized manner.

↪CHILDHOOD
My childhood isn't that really a big deal.I was born to Gladwin and Francine Strudwick and their only child. I was raised to be a proper young man, and while we lived in an affluent part of Liverpool, we lived around a lot of muggles. As a result, I made a lot of friends amongst those that my mother and father might term 'lesser people'. It was because of the fact that I could persuade my parents that I needed friends my own age that they even allowed this, which disappoints me since they seem set on the idea of 'blood first'.
However, starting around the year I turned eleven, there was talk amongst the family about who the new heir was. I had always thought my cousin Hamilton was heir, but found out that he'd been disowned for being a halfbreed. That didn't make logical sense to me, until I also heard that my eldest cousin Pancras reappeared and vanished just as quickly. I don't know the full story, but there's a rumor that he was kidnapped and brainwashed by some blood traitors and he turned against the family. Because of this, I was named heir instead, and I was sent to live with my aunt and uncle as a result. Honestly, they're awful people, but there isn't much I can do about it since something about my uncle legitimately scares me and there seems to be the threat that I have to be the perfect heir, otherwise I could find myself exiled from the family as a result.
Thankfully, I'm going to Hogwarts, and I don't have to deal with my uncle that often. I was already raised to be a proper gentleman and how to act amongst polite society, so while he might try and train me to be heir, it's not that large of a learning curve, and I don't have to see him except during the summer holidays. I have yet to talk to my father about my feelings on the matter, because something tells me that there would be dire consequences should I disobey either my uncle or my father.
↪SCHOOLYEARS
First year wasn't too bad. I was sorted into Slytherin after making some friends, and have utterly enjoyed Hamilton stalking me in the school (not really). There was a fight in History of Magic, where several classmates just decided to argue with one kid about his views in class, and everyone on the other side of the argument decided he was utterly wrong for having a differing opinion about the subject. Meanwhile, I found out my eldest cousin actually attends Hogwarts under another name, Jesse Calvert, and some pretty horrific things happened to lead to that. I know he's not saying anything about everything that really happened, and I'm pretty sure I'm not wanting to know either. Needless to say, I am really nervous about going home now.

↪PERSONALITY
✚Friendly - I'm friendly. I happen to love making friends, and love to talk to people, even if I don't know them. I also try to get along with people, and don't really see myself as a mean person. At least I hope I'm not. I'd rather not be that person that everyone hates. ✚Polite - I'm also well-mannered and polite. I don't like to say rude things, and try to avoid offending people if I can help it. I also happen to to try and treat people with respect, whether earned or not. It's what my parents instilled in me, after all, and I'd rather be overly polite than rude. ✚Peaceful - I'm also pretty peaceful. I don't like confrontation if I can help it, and try to avoid fights when I can. That doesn't mean I don't know how to defend myself or can't, I just don't like hurting people if I can help it. ✚Hardworking - I also happen to be a hard worker. I do the best I can, and push myself to be better. I always strive to give it my all, and not anything less. After all, that's one thing that I know about myself, and that's if I do something poorly, I get annoyed at myself, especially if I didn't put any effort into it. ✚Honest - I'm also quite honest. I don't like lying, and I don't like people that lie. I try to be upfront about the truth when I can, and when I can't, I tend to try subtly to make the truth known. I also don't like half-truths, since that's almost as bad as not telling the truth.

↪CHILDHOOD
I'm the child of Japanese immigrants, raised by them until the age of nine. My mom was a witch, while my father was a muggle. He didn't find out about her being a witch in the entire time we were together, which means that my dad never found out that I was magical either. Yes, I'm talking about them in the past tense, since they're no longer around.
We got into a car accident when I was nine, and while I survived, they didn't. I spent a month in the hospital, since one of my legs they had to do surgery on after the accident. It doesn't hurt now, but I still have some pretty bad scarring from it. After that, I was taken in by my aunt who moved to England. There was some debate about whether I'd attend Mahoutokoro or Hogwarts, but in the end, it was decided I should attend Hogwarts since my Japanese isn't really all that good, and I'm still learning my kanji.

↪PERSONALITY
✚Intelligent - I'm quite intelligent. I can solve problems pretty easily, and have no problem with grasping difficult concepts. I also have no problem with finding new concepts to ideas that people have trouble with, although problems arise when I am asked to concentrate for long periods of time. ✚Patient - I am also quite patient, understanding that sometimes things take time and I am willing to wait to see what happens as a result. There are times when I do get impatient, but those times are very few and far between. Most of the time I take my time doing things so they're done thoroughly. ✚Studious - Because of my issues with focus, I don't mind studying quite hard to get to where I want to go. I look at everything I can in a subject, and don't mind going back through to be thorough. It helps me to retain what I learn easier as a result, and don't like being rushed when I'm studying, nor do I like cram sessions. ✚Persistent - When I want to do something, I do it, and won't stop until it's completed to my satisfaction. I guess in a way you can call that perfectionist, but I don't see it that way. I would rather make sure that something is done right, and done right the first time, and will continuously work on something until I can make it that way. ✚Spacey - There are times, admittedly, when I lose focus. I will occasionally space out for minutes at a time and not recall what is said around me. During these times, I can become quite frustrated with myself as a result, and don't appreciate it when people poke fun of me in these moments. I would rather be able to go back over what I may have missed as a result of my spacey moments.

↪CHILDHOOD
I am the son of Rebecca Stone and Paul Blade, a drug addict and her dealer/boyfriend. I was born premature, and had a lot of issues as a result at birth. My father I never really knew, as he went to jail shortly after my birth. My mother, well, honestly, she's a mess, although she does try as best as she can. We jumped around a lot when I was younger, mostly because my mum was always trying to find a job to support me as well as her habit. When I was seven, I was eventually taken away from her and placed into foster care, where I ended up being adopted by Robert and Julia Blade, my father's brother and his wife.
That's when the weird things started happening. At first, my uncle thought that it was because of withdrawal symptoms and assumed that my mum had been continuously giving me drugs for whatever reason. However, that wasn't the case as I hadn't had anything in my system since I left the hospital when I was born. Nevertheless, the odd things continued to happen until my eleventh birthday, when I found out that I was magical. Now I get to go to a new school, where I'm not even sure what's going to happen.

✚Intelligent - I am quite intelligent. I always love to learn and find out new things, and can deal with complex ideas quite easily. I also tend to be very good with numbers, a fact that my parents despair at considering their views. ✚Creative - I am very creative. I love to look at things in an abstract way and find outlets for my creativity. My favorite hobby by far is drawing, though I enjoy many outlets for my mind. If nothing else, it's something for me to do to expand my mind. ✚Curious - I am naturally curious. I always wonder what is around the next corner and try to learn things I has never encountered before when I runs across them. My reasoning is sound in my mind. It's always something new to learn, and I want to find out as much as I can. ✚Traditional - I am quite traditional. I believe that the old ways are best, and work to better myself as a proper young lady. While not prejudiced, I do tend to look askance at girls that act out in what I consider bizarre ways and can't quite comprehend why anyone would make themselves seem unseemly. ✚Reserved - I am actually quite reserved. It takes me a bit to actually get to know someone, and tend to try to melt into the background. I don't like to stand out and try my best to remain inconspicuous, though this is not always easy for me.

↪CHILDHOOD
My childhood wasn't that bad. I was born to Julien and Claudette Lebeau, a pureblood family. My father is half-veela, while my mother is simply a pureblood. I was raised well, and taught everything I needed to know about being a proper young lady, which honestly was a daunting task. However, I endured it and came out the better for it. I also at a young age discovered a love of drawing and reading and haven't stopped either yet, even though my parents warned me that I shouldn't be too smart to put off potential suitors. I also have a younger brother named Cyrille, who is probably the furthest thing from a proper young man as one can get, but he's still young. It will come with time.
Around my tenth year of life, my parents were contacted about possibly arranging a marriage for me. I was a bit apprehensive about the idea, but my parents were thrilled. They believed that it would dissuade those that didn't have my best interest in mind, and it isn't necessarily a bad idea. I just don't particularly care for the idea of marrying someone I don't know, though I would have to at some point. When I got my letter, I was quite thrilled. Not only would I be attending Hogwarts, but I would finally get to meet my intended. I hope to get to know him better before we're married, after all.

QUIET xxx»» Blair is quiet, not speaking unless spoken to and often not speaking unless the person is being respectful. He ignores those that are acting rudely, and maintains a distance from rowdy individuals as a result. He also tends to spend long stretches of time by himself, unless he is with his brother.
RESENTFUL xxx»» Blair is also quite resentful. Ever since he was young, he always was told he was the second-born and thus was the 'spare heir'. He doesn't like it when he is thrust into the spotlight and forced into situations he doesn't like. He is most resentful toward his brother, who, through no fault of his own, thrust the spotlight on him when they were younger and Blair hasn't been able to escape it since.
INTELLIGENT xxx»» Blair is rather intelligent and doesn't have to work hard to accomplish anything academically. He has an easy time with studies, and can complete complex problems with ease. He also has an easy time figuring out puzzles of all kinds and loves to stretch his mental prowess.
CREATIVE xxx»» Blair is also creative. He loves to create, and enjoys drawing and painting quite often. However, this is tempered because his parents don't feel it is becoming of their children to pursue any sort of artistic pursuit, feeling it a waste of their talent.
SOPHISTICATED xxx»» Blair was raised to be an exemplary young man, minding his manners and knowing how to act appropriately in all social situations. He rarely acts in a manner that could get him in trouble, and finds others that act in such a way boorish.
STIFLED xxx»» All in all, Blair is rather stifled. He rarely gets to act in what he feels is how he wants to be, often bowing to his parents' expectations. They were the ones that emphasized that, while he was the second son, he could easily inherit should something happens to his brother. As a result, he has learned to wear a mask to hide his true thoughts and feelings.
STRENGTHS xxx»» Painting and drawing xxx»» Academics WEAKNESSES xxx»» Socially uncomfortable xxx»» Introverted FEARS xxx»» Losing himself xxx»» Flying
xxx❖xxxB A C K S T O R Yxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CHILDHOOD xxx»» Blair is the second-born son of Chandler and Blodwyn Lockwood. He doesn't recall much of his early life only that he felt that he was happier then. However, his father had decided to hire on a nanny to get the boys to essentially 'grow up', and their mother, who they had seen regularly at that point, grew more and more distant with each passing day until they rarely saw them.
xxx»» The nanny, of course, instructed them both in what they should know and what was expected from them. Byron, as eldest and expected to inherit, was more the focus of the adults, and Blair was able to relax and feel as though he might be able to lead the type of life he wanted. However, that all changed when he turned seven.
xxx»» Blair, of course, revealed that he had magic when he turned seven when he was trying to avoid going to his lessons and hid somewhere in the manor. However, the nanny easily spotted him as the location began to glow brightly because Blair thought it was too dark. He didn't know why it was so important, but he realized that his parents started looking on with expectation at Byron as though they were waiting for him to perform feats of magic. However, they never came.
xxx»» Blair was suddenly and uncomfortably placed into a role that he didn't want. His parents, while they still focused on Byron, started paying attention to what Blair was doing as well, and Blair found himself shrinking further and further into himself. He didn't realize it at first, but he strongly suspected that as the years passed and his brother didn't show any inclination of being magical, they were preparing for the worst and focusing their attention on the 'only' magical child they had. While Byron did eventually get his magic at age ten, that didn't stop the attention from still remaining firmly on both brothers, and Blair found himself pretending more and more that he was okay with it all.

↪PERSONALITY
✚Outgoing - I am rather outgoing, willing to meet new people and hang out and make friends. I thrive on social interactions, and love it when people pay attention to me. This is in direct contrast to my sister, who is rather introverted. ✚Egotistical - I am also something of an attention hog and love to get praise and positive feedback. I also have a tendency to gloat often, hating it when I'm ignored and particularly annoyed when someone paints me in a bad light. ✚Crafty - Much like my sister, I'm rather intelligent, though I love finding loopholes and exploiting them. I also like to devise different ways to get myself out of trouble if I find myself in it, often to my parents' chagrin. ✚Vain - I am very well aware that I am good looking, and work hard to keep up my looks and love it when people complement me for them. I also happen to become annoyed when someone does anything to screw up the image I'm trying to present. ✚Flirty - I am also a bit of a flirt. I know just how to bat my eyes and smile that can get people's attention, and I love watching the reaction I get. I also happen to wonder about dating a lot, and figure I can see who's interested in me when I flirt. After all, I'm attractive and I know it, so I use it to my advantage.

↪CHILDHOOD
I was born to Julien and Claudette LeBeau, my father being half-veela while my mother was a proper pureblood witch. My early childhood was spent being raised up to be a proper heir to my family, and I have learned how to and not to behave. However, that didn't stop me from realizing that I was a lot more attractive than most of my peers. By the age of seven, I had already kissed a girl because I was curious, and because she thought I was really cute. This sort of thing didn't stop, and by the time I was getting old enough to go to Hogwarts, my parents despaired about my behavior.
Like my sister, my parents have tried to find a match for me when I finally become of age. Unlike my sister, I didn't actually care for the idea, and chased away more girls than I probably care to think about. I'd rather find my own intended, though my parents are determined to reign me in. I don't think I want to be, because life's too short to worry about finding a proper bride and I'd rather have fun while I still can.
