Name : Sezer Phillips
Gender : Male
Age : Seventeen
Year : Seventh
House : Ravenclaw
Ethnicity : English
Hair/Eye Color : Blondish light brown hair that graces the tips of his ears, and gray eyes.
Pet : Sezer has a cat by the name of Torez. She is a lovely gray tabby with deep, penetrating blue eyes. Down her back run a multitude of black stripes, all crisscrossing one another. Her paws continue to follow the general dark gray color of her coat, as does her tail, but the underside of her tummy is the richest cream of white. One moment, her coat is a lustrous dark gray, and then it fades into intricate dots of various gray, until finally it is the purest of snow in color. Her muzzle is off white, and the exact tone sets off her own dark blue eyes.
Home Life : Sezer lives with his grandfather out in the country. It is about an hours' drive from London. His grandfather was a wizard, and, as such, when he is not at Hogwarts his grandfather, Julius, takes it upon himself to further his education. Juilius and Sezer are happy living with one another, as happy as a strangled family can be. Both Sezer's parents are unspeakables. As the name implies, they are unable to speak of their work, and as such are distant from everyone they hold should most dear. Once a month when he is on hols they come to dinner to visit with him. His mother has such fake cheer in her voice that it often drives him to puke. His father is too caring, too loving. It is sickening.
When his parents are not home, and when the impending doom that is their visit is not ghosting on the horizon, the atmosphere in the little cottage is nice. Julius was a powerful wizard in his youth; he worked as the Charms professor at Hogwarts for a bit. In recent years, however, he has settled down considerably to live a life amongst muggles. While his nearest neighbor is a good twenty kilos away, Julius is all about doing things by hand. At least when they are outside the house. The cottage is one of the few remaining examples of Muggle/Wizard crossovers in the home. To make matters more bizzare, the Phillips are a pure blood family. Their tree is long and noble, stretching perhaps back all the way to the time of Salazar Slytherin. Because of this ominous connection of their past relative and Slytherin, the Philips' were expected to be potential Death Eaters both in the second war and the first. But one thing is perfectly clear, no attachment what so ever lingers over their name, nor has one ever done so.
Recently, because of his grandfather getting on in years, Sezer has taken on more yard work.
Diving deeper : Despite what one may think because of the way Sezer was raised, he is actually a very caring person. Granted, this is not easy to see. He comes off as distant, solitary and superior. But if one would get to know the boy behind the book, they would see his true traits and values. Values which can only be pertained to being raised by his grandfather - a man truly worthy of the title. Sezer often wonders, being the intellectual pure Ravenclaw that he is, what he would have been like should he have been raised by his parents. He expects he would have been an arrogant, selfish, spoiled little b*****d who wanted nothing more than to be superior over everyone else. One day, he voiced this question to his grandfather. And he will never forget the response he received.
'Sezer, you have no parents. I have no son, no daughter-in-law. I raised you, and raised you well, because the people who made the decision to bring you into this world do not have time for you. The life long commitment they made the choice to do has been shattered. They dropped you as if you were some play thing, some toy to be thrown away when one grows tired of it. They dropped you, and I picked you up.'
Sezer likes learning, sweet potatoes, books, cinnamon, history, and porridge. He dislikes potions, mint of any kind, spicy food ingredients, and jealousy. Ironic how he sees students every day in the corridor, students who have parents. He does not long for such a thing; he only wants to know what it is like. If given the choice, he would trade lives for a day just to ascertain how it would be. But he would not give up his grandfather for anything, nor would he give up Torez. Not for all the books in England, and not even for the opportunity to be as accomplished and well-rounded and knowledge as his grandfather. Family means more to him than anything. Even his dreams come in second.
Their family is small, but they make it work. In his little corner, it is only Julius, Sezer and Torez. Only them.
Taking a closer look : Sezer sighed contentedly to himself, pushing his glasses back up to the bridge of his nose. He readjusted his grip on Famous Witches and Wizards: Ravenclaws throughout the Ages and smiled to himself. How he loved this book. Really, it was quite the remarkable feat that his grandfather had managed to get in its pages. And not just a three or four, either, but a whole chapter! He smiled again, becoming more lost in the book, though he'd read it a hundred times. Every time he read the ten pages entitled simply Julius Phillips it made him want to get out there and do something. Something to make his grandfather proud. Something he'd be remembered for. ...
An invisible pin popped his equally as invisible dream bubble, bringing him back to reality. The train whistle was blowing. Sitting up, he took his hand-carved bronze bookmark, the Raven, of course, emblazoned artfully on the rectangle, and marked his page. Standing up, he tucked the text under his arm. His favorite part would have to wait until he got to the carriages.

You have been Accepted
to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Though I found this line terribly sad, I loved it as well: "They dropped you,
and I picked you up." So much of Sezer's life is described in that one sentence.
You did a nice, detailed job on his profile, but he is still so mysterious.
Which is not a bad thing! I just cannot wait to see where his choices lead
him in life. Oh, and his eyes sound beautiful. <3
