Arithmancy

[htl_dumbledore]

Character Information

Re: Arithmancy

[htl_dumbledore]

Physical Description: (include hair color, eye color, height, weight, and build at the VERY least) Sorrows is, honestly, not much to look at. With his bad back and lazy eye, he has never been one to attract the ladies (or the fellows, for that matter), but that doesn't seem to bother him. Standing at 5-foot-eleven when fully-erect, Sorrows as a slight build (his handicap, naturally, prevents him from building much muscle), straight brown hair that reaches his chin, and blue eyes. Sorrows weighs in at about 168 lbs. He dresses in fairly shabby clothing (being a teacher doesn't really pay so well-- not that he has much care for what he wears anyways), preferring warm wool robes instead of more stylish ones. His face is lined and a bit harsh looking, but he is good-natured and generally smiles more than any other expression

Defence Against The Dark Arts

Character Information

Re: Defence Against The Dark Arts

[htl_dumbledore]

Personality: These Ravenclaws will have lightning-fast mental reflexes. Aries is an intellectual sign, but it is also an impatient sign; Ravenclaws who were born under this sign are likely to tolerate no dull wits or stupidity, whether they see this lack of mental competence in themselves (in which case they will berate themselves for not understanding, or give up quickly in frustration without really trying to overcome their difficulty in learning) or in others (in which case they will lash out at the offender with acidic comments and haughty, cutting looks). These Ravenclaws will want to be at the head of the class, dominating other students in their chosen intellectual field, and may be almost as competitive as Slytherins. However, the true aim of every Ravenclaw is knowledge, knowledge, and more knowledge. While a Slytherin might see losing a magical duel or being bested by another student in a DADA class as humiliating, the Ravenclaw will probably just take delight in competition for its own sake, and see defeat as a learning

Transfiguration

[htl_dumbledore]

Character Information

Re: Transfiguration

[htl_dumbledore]

Personality: Edward is the typical Austen/Bronte-esque hero. He uses a bit of old-fashioned language, and he is extremely proper. His manners are superb, and he can be rather eloquent when he needs to be. Though, he can be reclusive as well, and he also has a nasty temper. He appears to be a big, tough guy, and he comes across that way to most people, but he always feels terrible after shouting at someone or giving a student a bad grade. Also, Edward is TERRIBLE with speaking with women he likes. He tends to clam up and fumble for words. And if he can’t find the right words, he simply blushes and turns away. He hates himself for that. But otherwise, he is calm and stern and extremely professional

Character Information

Name: MacDonald "Mac" Thorne
LJ Username: comc_macthorne
Age: 35
Birthdate: April 25th, 1971
Location: Hogwarts Castle
Former House: Hufflepuff
Occupation: Care of Magical Creatures professor at Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and Head of Hufflepuff House.

Bloodline: Half-blood
Heritage: English

Re: Care of Magical Creatures

[htl_dumbledore]

Personal History: One of the main things about this half-blood wizard growing up in Liverpool, England, was that he was rich. His father, Gerard Thorne, was a rather successful Auror, who had quite a vast amount of inheritance left to him in the will of his Muggle parents. Gerard ran the household rather strictly, alongside his ever-loving wife, Annabelle Peters, whom was the common, caring and loving housewife that she had longed to be, and was the Muggle of the family as well. Mac was not the only child. Actually, he was the 2nd of 3 boys, his older brother, Thomas, and his younger brother, Nicholas, each of them one year apart. Of the two of his parents, it was his mother, Annabelle, that Mac had always favored. She had always been so nurturing and respecting of the things that he had done and dreamed about doing. His brothers, the rough ones they were, adored their father and they were adored just as much, if not more, by him in return. Mac was more studious of them, though if he wanted to, he could rough house and roll around in

Re: Care of Magical Creatures

[htl_dumbledore]

Personality: Mac's brilliance is only superceeded by his compassion. If it hadn't been for that, he would have been sent into Ravenclaw straight away. He does find that books are good learning tools, but the world can also do the same, and much, much more. When in school, he preferred the hands-on method rather than the studying out of textbooks all hours of the night, and to have to lose sleep for it. Due to this philosophy, it had made him rather reckless as a boy. Mac had spent many a weekend in the Hospital Wing, because he figured he could finish something correctly himself, without looking in the next page of the textbook, but now, thankfully, for his own safety and for the safety of others as well, he had, more or less, gotten over that little bit of audacity. He probably still does hold the record for making the most trips to the Hospital Wing

Character Information

Name: Galahad Adams
LJ Username: (if available) galahad_adams
Age: 28
Birth date: June 28th, 1980
Location: Hogwarts
Former House: Gryffindor
Occupation: Muggle Studies professor at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Bloodline: Muggleborn
Heritage: Scottish
Personal History: The life and times of Galahad Adams have been about average as far as dramatics are concerned. He was born in Perth, on June 28th 1980, to parents Donald and Alice Adams. His parents gave him his name, Galahad, after the member of the knight of the Round Table, who was the purest of heart; little did they know how right they would be. He was the second child, after his older brother Derrick, born two years before. Though both parents loved the boys equally, Alice internally proclaimed that Galahad was her favorite; it was not just because he was the youngest but they both had a bond beyond that.

Re: Muggle Studies

[htl_dumbledore]

Personality: Bravery and naivety are two of the most apparent traits that are seen in Galahad. If there is an obstacle that faces him, he will stand against it and do everything he can to overcome it. He is also an easily trusting person, and would give his life for anyone who has paid him an act of kindness. There is still so much he has to learn about people and the world around him, but he has a maturity and determination that could surpass anyone else’s. Of course, he does tend to act his age a lot. Galahad is a very playful person, and is always ready to experience new things
