I use the actor Alexander Ludwig when I think of Scorpius:

I thought of that actor to play him too! XD

If we're going by just head-canons, then I imagine Scorpius to be bisexual, but leans toward men. I think he'd try to focus (outwardly) on girls to sort of please his parents, and to live up to expectations..

I imagine him to be sort of a snob, but not as much of an elitist as his dad was in his day, mainly because his dad learned from his mistakes and tried to instill the lessons in his son. Scorpius is really clean and organized and particular, and can be a bit bossy, stubborn, and blunt.

I can't think of actors to play him. I imagine it'd depend on his age. I can see Evan Peters playing him, maybe.

Scorpius is probably the next-gen character I've written the most about so I have a lot of feelings about him.

Looks: I remember a fanartist once saying that when drawing Draco and Lucius to differentiate from them, she thought "Abraxas" while drawing Lucius and "Narcissa" while drawing Draco. With Scorpius I tend to imagine "Greengrass" or "Lucius" more than Draco. He tends to be broader than Draco, a bit taller, the kind of build for someone who could be a Chaser or even a Beater. He's blond and pale, like Draco, and has his sharp cheekbones and pointy nose but a stronger jaw.

I'm using Boyd "All the Malfoys" Holbrook here but he doesn't look much like my idea of Scorpius.

Personality: I write Scorpius as very independent but also contrary. He was the type of child that always wanted to know why and would argue and pester if he didn't agree and as a teenager/adult he's the type enjoy flouting conventions and fighting for a cause. He's a lot like how I imagine his mother to be - stubborn, caring - and also a lot like his father

I don't read much next-gen but I don't imagine Scorpius to be a copy of his father. I do think that Scorpius is proud of his family and his heritage, regardless of his family's past, they are his family. However, I don't think he is proud of some of his family's actions and political actions. As a result, I imagine him to be more open minded and carefully weigh his options before making a judgement on someone or a cause. Apart from that, Scorpius is clever, witty and a little bit mischievous, a loyal friend...and spoiled.
