Character Name: Stephen Howell

Describe your character's strengths: Stephen prefers the hands on classes like Potions and DADA, and to a lesser degree, will enjoy Care of Magical Creatures when he's old enough to take it. Around his friends, he is social, charming, and outgoing, and isn't afraid to go up to a stranger and talk to them at a party. He is well-mannered and well-behaved in class, always gets his homework done on time, and is respectful of his elders (even if he doesn't always like them). When it comes to his favorite classes, he is determined and works for the best grade possible.

Describe your character's flaws/weaknesses: Stephen doesn't do well in classes like History of Magic and Astronomy; he finds them to be boring, so he doesn't try. Transfiguration also frustrates him quite a bit. He is very snobby and selective with who he befriends -- he outright refuses to be friends with blood traitors and those that aren't pureblooded, and finds even talking to them to be painful unless he's insulting them or pranking them. When he's talking to someone he doesn't like, he tends to say nasty things without thinking first. Although he isn't quick to anger; when he does get mad, his temper is rather nasty and he will throw a fit when he can't have his way. He also has two faced tendencies, acting like a perfectly innocent angel in front of adults, but when their backs are turned, he acts like a mean brat.

Describe your character's physical attributes.: He is average height for his age, and has dark brown hair, as well as dark brown eyes. PB is Skandar Keynes.

Is your character Muggle born, a half-blood, or a pureblood?: Pureblood

Character Background/History: Stephen lives in London with his parents, Donovan and Diana Howell, and his older brother, Benjamin, who is in third year. His father, a strict, businesslike, and quiet man, works at Gringotts. His mother is something of a trophy wife and prefers to stay home, socialize, and dote on her two sons -- she never misses an opportunity to spoil them and brag about how wonderful they are to anyone who will listen. Stephen's had a typical childhood for a pureblood -- being dragged to, and actually enjoying, all the parties that his parents' friends threw. Both parents support the new minister and approve of the way the Ministry is run.

So, woo! Hit me up.
