- DISTRACTED
xxx»» Gideon is an easily distracted person who often has difficulty focusing on the bigger forest in lieu of the individual, far more interesting trees. He doodles when he should be taking notes and consistently 'glazes over' when someone is telling him something, particularly if it's in the style of a lecture. He hates to work on just one thing of a time and can often be seen multitasking (with varying degrees of success) or jumping from thing to thing. He doesn't do well in highly structured, rigid environments and would fail miserably at an office job.
IDLE
xxx»» Gideon is frequently called lazy, 'work-avoidant', and 'unmotivated', all of which have some grain of truth to them. If he has a vice, it's certainly sloth, and while he will help someone out if asked and isn't self-absorbed enough to force someone else to do all the work in the project, it can be difficult to get him to do much of anything without some prodding. If he had his way, he'd spend much of the day eating, sleeping, or just lounging around. It's not that he's depressed or uninterested in anything; he just didn't inherit his parents' ambition, and is stubborn enough to dig his heels in when someone tries to force him to do something.
AMIABLE
xxx»» Gideon is quite honestly a very difficult person to argue with. He's very laid-back and easygoing, usually keeping a calm, if a bit impulsive outlook. Even if he disagrees strongly with someone, he'd rather crack jokes and roll his eyes than really debate it out with them- that'd expend too much energy, and be, in his opinion, a waste of time. Gideon is generally very easy to get along with, so long as you're not actively antagonizing him, and is often unruffled and bemused when others are outraged and indignant. The only time he seems to become genuinely offended is when someone insults his family, particularly his sister.
HUMOROUS
xxx»» Gideon tends to see everything as a bit of a joke, and was the type of child who often succumbed to giggles or snickers when being scolded. He often finds things funny, even when others do not, and prefers to make light of most situations. Other people often view this as immature and at times frustrating, since Gideon can spend more time cracking jokes and making sly comments than actually trying to find a solution. However, this is often a coping mechanism, as he doesn't want to be too vulnerable and open with his emotions in front of others, particularly when he's upset or disappointed.
FLIPPANT
xxx»» Gideon can be very dry and sarcastic, which many people don't expect, coming from him. While he doesn't go around picking fights with anyone, when annoyed or upset he tends to revert to mockery, rather than raising his voice or throwing a punch. He'd much rather shame someone out of bad behavior than try to lecture them out of it, and enjoys knocking others down a peg or two when he feels they're being self righteous or worse, hypocritical. He is not overly respectful of authority, and was occasionally a bit of a troublemaker as a small child.
HUMBLE
xxx»» Gideon has many flaws, but arrogance is not one of them. He was raised to never lord himself over others, or to act as if he was better than anyone because his father was from a notable pureblood family or his mother was a successful auror. Gideon would never sneer or scoff at someone else, and was raised to treat everyone as equals, no matter their background. He despises displays of wealth or snobs, and is much more concerned with people's character, rather than their nice clothes or big house. If he does puff himself up, it's all joking, and his sense of humor is generally very self-deprecating; he rarely puts other people down while praising himself.
STRENGTHS
xxx»» Keeping things in perspective.
xxx»» Making friends quickly.
WEAKNESSES
xxx»» Not taking things seriously.
xxx»» His lack of ambition or motivation.
FEARS
xxx»» Losing his mother due to her line of work.
xxx»» Disappointing his family.

- CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Gideon is the eldest child and only son of Damien Edgeworth, a wandmaker, and Marina Edgeworth (nee Aldred), an auror. His parents met during their first year at Hogwarts, where they were both Slytherins. While they initially despised one another, they eventually became friends and later married, having two children, Gideon and Lucia. Gideon was born three years before his sister and grew up in the family's flat above Ollivander's, which his father owns and operates, located in Diagon Alley, London, England. Gideon spent much of his childhood running around the shop and bothering his father, as his mother was often away on Auror business. In contrast to his quiet, well-behaved younger sister, Gideon was somewhat of a wild child, although he claims this is only because anyone would seem unruly or loud, compared to Lucia. The family was quite close and had a wide social circle, so Gideon had plenty of playmates and was very eager to go away to Hogwarts at the age of eleven. He doubted he'd be in Slytherin like his parents, but they'd assured him that his house mattered very little in the long run.
SCHOOL YEARS
- FIRST YEAR »» Gideon was sorted into Hufflepuff upon arriving at Hogwarts, to the surprise of pretty much no one, and the delight of his aunts Ada and Nell, as well as his cousin Desi. While obviously excited to finally be at Hogwarts, the reality of classes and homework soon settled in, as did some homesickness. Luckily, Gid never had any issues being social and was never very lonely, since he knew plenty of people to talk to. The most exciting part of the whole year was probably when his dad's supposedly dead mother broke into their flat while he was away at school and tried to kill everyone, and he even missed that.
SECOND YEAR »» Gid enjoyed his second year since he was no longer a coddled first year, although things were basically the same as the year before. He was also a lot less homesick, and time seemed to go much quicker. He went on a picnic/'adventure' with a bunch of his year mates, and spent time with the McHalen twins. He also befriended a quiet housemate, Stella Connolly.
THIRD YEAR »» Gid's third year was much busier than his previous two, mostly because he'd started taking electives and thus had a lot more homework and a lot less free time during the week. Still, he for the most part enjoyed his new classes, especially Care of Magical Creatures, which was outdoors and much more fun than a stuffy classroom. He also got to visit Hogsmeade for the first time, to his delight, and he set about wasting all his pocket money on sweets.
FOURTH YEAR »» Gideon had a fairly relaxed fourth year, now used to his new classes and knowing his way around the castle, even at night. He decided to take advantage of his freedom before OWLs next year and spent perhaps less time in class than was academically wise. That said, he counted himself lucky to have only gotten two detentions for goofing off.
FIFTH YEAR »» Gideon went into his fifth year dreading it, knowing that for all his slacking off and laziness, there was no avoiding his OWLs. His grades might be subpar, but if he bombed his exams his parents would murder him, or at least attempt to. Nevertheless, while he put his nose as close to the grindstone as he could bear it, he still managed to go to some quidditch matches and hang out in Hogsmeade on the weekend. He even asked his friend Stella out on a date, shocking both of them. While he was as close to a nervous wreck as he'd ever been during many of his exams, he got through it more or less okay.
SIXTH YEAR »» Gid's little sister Lucia began at Hogwarts, to his delight, as the two were quite close and he'd missed her 'sobering' presence over the past several years. He was very proud when she was promptly sorted into Slytherin like their parents, and very invested in making sure she was not the target of any harassment or teasing, be it from her fellow students or Peeves. He also began dating Stella, something he was initially very hesitant to admit to his family, but was exasperated when he learned his mother had been 'predicting it' for years with her 'auror's intuition'.
SEVENTH YEAR »» Gid continued to happily date Stella and dread his upcoming NEWTs. Fortunately, he still managed to enjoy his last year at Hogwarts with his sister and friends before his graduation, which spurred a lot of tears but few regrets.
