[In this section, please don’t just write one or two words. Explain their likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, positive & negative traits in detail wherever possible; this is for people to get a decent idea of who your character is and what they are like, so please don’t just randomly list things. Also, three is the minimum, please don't be afraid to list more, there will never be limitations to detail on this site!]
Likes: (3 minimum) - Books- reading, things that broaden the mind - Music- he enjoys playing the violin and listening to a broad range of music, from Beethoven to Greenday, it depends on his feelings go the day. - The cool morning breeze, while he drinks his cup of tea- he likes to wake up early and enjoy the stillness of the morning, before it gets too hot and too noisy - The library- or any calm environment really - Privacy- he enjoys his alone time with his hobbies, and doesn't really appreciate people interrupting it.
Dislikes: (3 minimum) - Crowds- he gets a little overwhelmed with tonnes of people around- almost a claustrophobic feeling - Loud people- or loud places- again, his hearing is easily overwhelmed - Meaningless chit chat- if you're going to talk, make it so it's not a waste of time - Gossip- goes hand in hand with the chit chat really. No, it doesn't concern him who has snogged who, or whatever is the news of the day - Sport- he's not particularly good at team sport. He prefers solo things such as running to keep himself fit.
Strengths: (3 minimum) - He has a great memory- he can remember almost anything if he wants to. - He can focus really easily on tasks and has a great eye for detail and patterns. - He's calm, collected and logical- when facing an issue, he doesn't freak out, but rather looks towards possible solutions - He is able to look objectively at situations without getting too emotional about it
Weaknesses: (3 minimum) - He's rather disconnected from people- he doesn't form close bonds well - Talking doesn't come naturally- he doesn't possess the charm that his brother and sister seem to have- he usually chooses to stay quiet - He's uncoordinated- he can't catch nor throw well, and he often trips over his own feet - He's awkward- it's like he thinks too much about things, his brain just spurts out all the possibilities of something and he either can't decide how to respond to someone, or mixes up his words
Positive traits: (3 minimum) - He is open-minded and willing to admit when he's wrong - He's an information hoarder - He is kind to those that are kind to him - He honestly and truly aims to understand and empathise with people
Negative traits: (3 minimum) - He has trouble expressing himself - Sometimes neglects his self-care- like forgets to eat, shower, etc. Usually his sister subtly reminds him before things get too out of control. This does happen rarely- and happens less often now that he's at Hogwarts. - Prone to picking up bad habits - Bottles up his emotions- and sometimes they explode
Anthony grew up in a pureblood household as the middle child of three children. He has always been the quiet, thoughtful one, somewhat overshadowed by his older brother James. He gets on far better with his sister than his parents or James, though even with her, things can sometimes get tense. You see, he has trouble expressing himself, and communicating through speaking. Naturally, he often chooses to remain rather quiet about things. His parents don't really seem to notice, they tend to be far more concerned with James' boisterous personality, and his constant arguing with Florrie. With that, he tended to just try and ignore the drama and focus on the things that he loved- reading, music, the usual.
Rather surprisingly, he found himself more at peace at Hogwarts than at home. He didn't have as much pressure placed on him by his parents, comparing him to what seemed to be his far superior brother. He was able to do as he pleased, and it felt to him that he had a lot more freedom to just enjoy clearing his mind.
Mother: Name: Audrey Byrne (nee Richardson) Age: 40 Living or Deceased: Living Blood type or Species: Pureblood Occupation: Wife
Father: Name: Charles Byrne Age: 44 Living or Deceased: Living Blood type or Species: Pureblood Occupation: Ministry Official
Siblings:
- Spoiler:
Name: Florence (Florrie) Byrne Age: 11 Living or Deceased: Living Blood type or Species: Pureblood Occupation: Student
- Spoiler:
Name: James Byrne Age: 13 Living or Deceased: Living Blood type or Species: Pureblood Occupation: Student
Audrey and Charles met at a social gathering when they were merely teenagers, and arranged to marry soon after. Luckily enough, they do rather like each other and enjoy each other's company, but love… Well, no. They married for duty, to connect two very old pureblood lines- the Richardsons and the Byrnes. It didn't take the two long before they had their eldest son James- soon after with Anthony and Florence.
Charles quickly procured a highly regarded job in the ministry soon after graduating Hogwarts, largely due to his status and connections. Audrey chose to remain a housewife, rather happy with the easy life she had, helping to raise her three children, plan social events and teach her daughter what she needed to know as an elite pureblood.

Anthony hadn't been able to sleep real well ever since he arrived home. Memories of being engulfed by the darkness, the strange voices and rough hands, well... They simply wouldn't go away- almost like his head was surrounded by a rain cloud that stormed only at night. And when it stormed...
In a sense, he was glad to go back to school. There were people in the room with him- that meant he wouldn't get as scared, right? However it also meant that the person that had lead him to that god awful place might still be lurking around the school.
His memory was hazy of who exactly it was. Just that she had seemed very kind, and had promised him a trip to Hogsmede (despite not being old enough to go). Being eager, he had followed with no question. Who would have thought that a student would lie? What reason would she have?
The most prominent memory was being in the dark, with other unsuspecting students who had also been lured there. It was probably the most scared he'd been ever.
He wasn't sure how long he had been kept there- they'd fed the kids, kept them relatively okay. The only rule (that everyone followed after one kid never came back) was to keep quiet. Keep quiet, and do exactly as they say. Which involved a lot of hair pulling.
Time had seemed to merge together, and finally, it ended.
It ended with a bang. With spells and shouts, and curses. And Anthony was absolutely powerless to do anything but curl into a ball and wait for it all to be over. Wait to be hit by a stray spell, or be killed intentionally so as to remain forever silent.
But that didn't happen. And he found himself crying, shaking, and then being comforted by some auror (he never did get their name).
Powerlessness.
After that, it was something he couldn't stand. He hated that feeling more than any other. Control was now something he needed to function. Not total control, but something at the very least. His family, they brushed his trauma under the rug. They expected him to act normally, after all, he had no permanent injuries (except perhaps the memories). Florrie was really the only one who paid him any attention, who didn't sulk or brush him off when he confided. James and his parents, however, saw it as weak. They didn't say it outright, but he could tell. The way they'd change subjects, or dismiss any worrying thoughts...
One thing was certain though, he would make sure never to be made to feel so small ever again. |
