■ HARSHDora is not by nature a particularly kind or gentle person. Although she is perfectly capable of forcing herself to be polite when necessary, and can have her more light-hearted moments, she's always had a mean, bull-headed streak, and is in general rather grim and cynical in terms of attitude, choosing to suspect first, trust later, and not one for having very many friends or letting people get too close. ■ QUICK-WITTEDDora is one of few words, and can't stand people who she views as constantly jabbering on, trying to prove how clever they are. But she is no idiot herself, and far more intelligent than she necessarily lets on. Dora is rarely sarcastic, preferring instead to always mean what she says, and has no patience for passive aggression, and while she's never been terribly bookish, she is more worldly and self-aware than one would expect. ■ IRRITABLEDora has always been short-tempered. As a child she was known for her temper tantrums, which were often magical, involving toys breaking and doors slamming, and as an adolescent her moods were legendary with her sisters. She is quick to take offense and when riled, generally takes a long time to simmer down. Dora holds grudges like no other, and the only time when she is truly calm and serene is on the quidditch pitch. ■ FORCEFULDora has never bothered much with being very lady-like, feminine, 'delicate', or anything approaching what the eldest daughter of an old pureblooded family should behave like. She is aggressive, blunt, and quick to curse, drink, and in general, do things she shouldn't. Although she's not quite the wild child she was while at school, she still takes some amount of pleasure in doing whatever she's told she shouldn't be doing. ■ COCKYDora has always been very confident, rarely doubts herself of her actions, and as a result, cannot muster up much pity for those she views as 'lacking spine'- or simply low in self esteem. She hates self-deprecation, and is not inclined to be terribly modest or humble, particularly when it comes to what she knows she's good at it. Why should she lower herself? ■ VINDICTIVEDora has never been one to forgive and forget. When in school, her reputation for holding grudges was notorious, and many of her fellow Aphrodites knew better than to give her a reason to dislike them, given her penchant for fighting dirty. Dora can be extremely vicious in fights (just ask her family), and has no qualms about 'crossing the line', so long as she wins.

CHILDHOODDora was born and raised on the southwestern tip of Spain, in the ancient city of Cádiz. Born into an old and wealthy pureblooded family, her childhood was extremely idyllic and privileged, as she and her seven younger sisters were given everything they ever could have wanted by their parents, Isidro and Fidela. Dora, however, the eldest and the most troublesome, was never quite satisfied. Her father still answered to his older brother, Oscar, the head of the family. And although she was the oldest in her second generation of Rosales', everything would go to her younger cousin Ismael when he came of age, as the only male. Furthermore, Dora was a stereotypical tomboy as a little girl, scorning dresses and other pretty things for brawling in winding back streets with muggle children and crashing her child's broom into any and everything. Her parents tolerated this because they assumed it was just a phase, and that her schooling at Beauxbatons, with its reputation for refinement and etqieutte, would straighten her out into a far milder young woman. They were terribly wrong.
SCHOOL YEARS Dora enjoyed her time at Beauxbatons, glad to have some time away from her overbearing younger sisters and traditional family, even if she often squabbled with her fellow Aphrodites, disdained her etiquette lessons in favor of fencing, and while she did well enough in class, often 'lost' her homework. When not playing quidditch, where she excelled as an oddly level-headed beater, she tended to keep to herself unless provoked, making few friends and keeping even fewer. She often clashed with her teachers, and was in detention more often than not, much to the aggravation of her parents, who felt that she wasn't setting anything close to a good example for her younger sisters. Annoyed with being accused of tarnishing the precious family name, Dora took to not coming home during breaks, apart from the summer, and when she was home, spent much of her time out of the house, or getting into shouting matches with either her mother or her uncle over her refusal to even consider looking for a husband at school.
POST GRADUATIONWhen she graduated, she took to feverishly searching for a quidditch team to try out for, preferably not Spain's, as she wanted out of her home country, and away from her family. Scotland, she heard, was looking for a beater, and what was more, she could seek out her younger English cousins, recently made orphans, now under the care of a stepmother whom the Rosales family regarded as nothing more than a common, scheming whore who was largely to blame for the death of Liliana and her husband. Dora's parents insisted she speak with her uncle before doing 'anything rash'. Her uncle informed her he would tolerate this rebellious period for a little while longer, but he expected her to either find a proper British husband or return to Spain to marry a Spanish one, before she got too involved in this quidditch playing nonsense. Dora, never one for holding onto her temper for very long, told him exactly what he could go do to himself, in Spanish, then French, in case he hadn't heard her the first time, and left that night. Several pleading letters from her father followed, all of which she read, then burned. Just let Tio Oscar try to cut her off, as if she'd come crawling back asking for forgiveness.

SOLEMN xxx»» Even as a small child, Ismael was always exceptionally serious and calm. In a way he was almost absurdly dignified, which his parents preened over, sure it was their influence and not simply his more sober nature. Ismael is slow to laugh and slow to smile, but not humorless- he simply doesn't find the same things funny that others might. In general, while his ability to keep a straight face at all times keeps him out of trouble, it doesn't particularly help when it comes to making friends or showing emotion.
THOUGHTFUL xxx»» Ismael has always been very considerate of those around him, which he was brought up to view as his duty as the future heir to the family. He never wants to impose on anyone, and is usually a bit cautious and reserved when it comes to taking up other people's attention and time. However, he is also extremely protective of his sister and cousins, in spite of their dismissal of him. While not exceedingly sensitive or soft-spoken, he would never be deliberately cruel to someone else on purpose, even when antagonized or provoked.
OBSERVANT xxx»» Ismael was raised in a household where children were supposed to be seen and not heard (although his outspoken older sister regularly broke this rule), and so grew up relying on his powers of observation to find out what was really going on. He had a bad habit of eavesdropping as a child, even if he was rarely caught, and as he grew older he simply found it more beneficial to listen first and speak later. People tended to be very careless with their tongues, after all.
PRACTICAL xxx»» Ismael has always been very practical; he's far from overly sensitive or emotional, and he rarely gets too caught up in feelings to think realistically. Because his older sister has always been more the wild child who speaks her mind, he generally feels like he needs to be the stable, grounded one in a family full of clashing personalities and ideals. While he can be stubborn, it's only because of his fear of failure, and he usually tries to consider all possibilities.
TRUTHFUL xxx»» Ismael is honest to a fault, but rarely blunt, as he is typically sensitive to the feelings of others, except when pressed. In general, he dislikes lying or deceit, and would much rather just be open about things and speak freely, even if he always tries to be polite and respectful. He would rather be hurt by the truth than comforted by a lie, so to speak, and since he considers himself very trustworthy, wants to be able to trust those around him just as well. He tends to associate with similarly honest and loyal individuals as a result.
INSECURE xxx»» Despite his calm and reassuring nature, Ismael has many doubts in his own ability to be the son and person he needs to be, and can at times be crippled by hesitation and fear of failing those around him. He's not very confident in himself, although he attempts to act as though he is, and can get very anxious when he feels like too much is resting on his shoulders alone. He wants desperately to be confident and strong and successful, but doubts he will ever be able to live up to such expectations.
STRENGTHS xxx»» Ismael is extremely observant. xxx»» Ismael is usually quite practical. WEAKNESSES xxx»» Ismael is at times too serious. xxx»» Ismael often doubts in himself. FEARS xxx»» Disappointing his father/family xxx»» Being laughed at

CHILDHOOD xxx»» Ismael was born and raised on the southwestern tip of Spain, in the ancient city of Cádiz. As the only son of the old, wealthy, and above all, pureblooded Rosales line, the weight of expectations on him was apparent from a very young age. All his cousins were female, although not for his aunt and uncle's lack of trying, and his only sibling was his older sister Tatiana, who, despite her protests, would not be considered for the position of heir due to her gender. Although Ismael would characterize his childhood as a peaceful and happy one; he was quite spoiled and indulged as the only boy in the family; his parents's marriage was a tense one and had been so since before his birth, due to the fact that it had been more of a pragmatic match than a love match. They were civil in front of their children, but it was clear that despite their mutual love for Ismael and his sister, they were largely dissatisfied with one another. It was quietly known that Oscar Rosales had had a mistress since the birth of his son, and Noelia Rosales was often away visiting her family in Seville. Neither believed it was their place to do much in terms of actual child-rearing, and left that up to tutors, nannies, and a veritable army of house elves. Ismael considered this normal and although sometimes lonely, as he was a shy little boy with few friends, and often teased mercilessly by his headstrong older sister, generally did very well in his studies, craving his father's approval above all else. He was a bit relieved when Tatiana went off to Beauxbatons three years ahead of him, as he finally had some quiet to read in, but was happy enough to go off to school himself when it was his turn.
