Name: Theodore Andrew Nott

Date of Birth: December 21, 1980

Blood History: Pureblood

Physical Description:
Tall. Weedy in the fact that the boy just kept growing until he hunched over, as if to hide his height. Shoulders were slumped forward, as well as his head usually bowed with eyes focused on the ground, and knees slightly bent giving him a slight bouncing gait.

His frame was thin, giving him an awkwardness to accent his tall, and ever growing, form. Long arms and legs, the boy looked slightly stretched, even in the face. The narrow jaw led into a pointed chin. In his opinion, the thinness just lent itself over to imperfection. Most of this imperfection he blamed on his nose which he felt was far too big to be considered attractive. The paleness didn't help his features. Across his nose and cheeks a powdering of sunburn, near always present. Just barely visible under the burn a splotching of freckles, though nothing to rival a Weasley.

Hair was left unkempt, with dark auburn strands brushing the upper eyelids of half mast eyes. Given a bit of sun, a soft mahogany would highlight his hair, but he preferred the cool breath of the indoors, and tended to keep out of said sun. Eyes were a honey brown, with thoughtful flowing interiors. Minus the eyes, he was hardly attractive, his teenage years leaving his body little more than whipstitch features. Even so, in all his awkwardness, he held a sort of inelegant grace.

Although he cared little for the style of his hair, his clothing was kept in perfect order always. At any moment he had to check, he would make sure everything was in perfect order. Theo was the sort of wizard, or rather had been brought up as the sort of wizard, who scorned most everything muggle, and even wore robes when he had time off. Summers were mostly filled with the nonsense of confirming other relationships through the wizarding community, so formal attire was a near constant thing to be worn when school let out. Truly the only time that Theo let himself have a break from the stuffy clothes of upper-society was bedtime. These were the times when his more whimsical side showed with his floppy long sleeved shirt, the back decorated with his family crest (a gift from Grandfather...).

Personality:
Theodore knew how to look out for himself, and as far as he was concerned, that was all that mattered. If it was the sharp tongue could get him into unpleasant situations, it was the silver tongue that got him out. Though usually soft-spoken around adults (respect was something he had learned young), he could become rather out-spoken around others his age, and downright rude to those younger than him. Indeed, one of his favorite pastimes in Hogwarts was giving the underclassmen, particularly Ickle Firsties, hell.

More often, around larger groups, he was particularly observant, logging everyone’s reactions and falsities into his own mental catalogue. It’s not often that he subjects himself to large crowds though. It’s not bad to be the tallest among a few people, but when it comes to being the tallest save a half-giant among a crowd, he becomes slightly uncomfortable.

For some unknown reason, he has a personal grudge against Draco Malfoy. Given any chance, he’ll point out all the boy’s bad points and poke fun at the ferret incident.

Personal History:
Theodore Andrew Nott was born in a small cottage on rural portion of the border between Scotland and England. A quiet life in seclusion had not prepared the boy for the life that lay ahead, and he would often find himself alone searching for silence. It was a trip his first trip to London, mainly Diagon Alley, that changed his whimsical view of wizarding society for the worse.

After filling her supplies, Lacey had decided the well-behaved, if not frightened out of his wits, Theo, deserved a treat. On their way to the ice cream parlor, and in between disapproving looks of passing wizards, Lacey found herself in the middle of a rather irate crowd. Before she realized what was going on she was plagued with various spells that left her little more than a pretty crumpled butterfly of a woman in the dusty street. Theo, who hadn’t strayed far enough to escape the sight of his mother’s death, but had gone far enough to escape the wrath of the angered mob, was scooped up as the light faded from his mother’s eyes. A rather familiar, though unknown to Theo, elderly wizard, sorrowful as he was, treated the still shock-stricken boy to ice cream, and returned him home to his father and grandfather.

Home was cold and his father distant after the Incident, which was indeed referred to as such with a capital I. Grandfather Nott regarded the boy as little more than a pesky buzz that would not rid itself of him when he left a room. The boy had two options: become a bookworm or devise ways to get attention. Theo decided to take the third path and close himself off from the parental figures that mostly ignored him. His afternoons were mostly spent watching the Thestrals in the forest, or finding new crawly places in which to hide himself, unintentionally and magically expanding these areas.

Hogwarts was neither a highlight or dark point in his life. For Theo, he could only see it as another thing that happened. Because he kept to himself, he made few close friends, and usually only kept acquaintances. In some ways he envied those who were surrounded by friends (such as Harry Potter), and found "friends" to only be an excuse to order people around (such as Draco). He'd never been a fan of Quidditch, and found most of the clubs nothing more of an annoyance. By the end of Hogwarts, he'd found his niches in the old castle where he could just hide away to be by himself.

Extra: Theodore has become slightly obsessive-compulsive and frequently succombs to nervous habits, such as playing with his hair, or tugging on his shirt cuffs. His childhood left him barely able to express his feelings, and if it weren't for the nervous habits, he might be seen as completely emotionless.
