6) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) Teddy is valiant, compassionate, and intelligent. He always puts others before himself and would risk his own life to save another's in a heartbeat. He is always determined to protect those around him regardless of whether he knows them or not. Teddy cannot hold a grudge and hates getting into fights with his loved ones because, as he knows from experience, you never know when you'll be having your last conversation with someone. Teddy is extremely smart and has all O's. He loves reading nonfiction books from both the Muggle and Wizarding Worlds, so he knows much more than the average 17-year-old boy. While away from Hogwarts, Teddy takes summer classes at King's College for different maths and sciences from statistics to microbiology. He has also learned to speak German, Russian, and French through his French-speaking aunt and online courses. Teddy aspires to one day become an auror and find the man who killed his mother to keep him from doing the same to anyone else and make sure he ends up in Azkaban. Teddy is very noble, and is always determined to do the right thing not for the glory of being a hero, but for the safety of others. He is loyal and is very likeable, so Teddy makes friends easily despite his excessive awkwardness and dorkiness.

7) Write about the history of your character. History must be at least two paragraphs long. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) Theodore Grant Blanchard was born on August 17 in Norfolk, Virginia to Daniel and Lilly Blanchard. With Lilly being a Gryffindor alumna, Teddy knew about wizards from a young age, despite his father being a muggle and growing up in the Muggle world. Lilly moved to live with Daniel in Virginia shortly before Teddy was born, leaving London and the wizarding world behind her. Despite his mother having magical abilities, Teddy had a fairly normal childhood up until the age of 9. It was a perfectly normal day in the Blanchard household and Teddy was getting ready for bed. To this day, he still remembers everything vividly. Just as he was going up the stairs, a loud crash sounded from the living room. Teddy raced downstairs to find out what was going on, only for his mother to push him into the cabinet under the TV. Lilly instructed the frightened young boy to stay there until she told him to come out. Terrified and confused, Teddy listened to his mother's instructions. He hid silently until an unfamiliar voice could be heard, followed by his mother's hysterical one. Just as Teddy opened the cabinet door ever so slightly to peek at what was happening, a blinding light filled the room, followed by the helpless cries of despair coming from his father. The unknown figure disappeared before he could take a good look, leaving behind all traces of his existance. Still frightened and confused by what had just happened, Teddy cautiously pushed open the cabinet door only to be met by the pale, lifeless body of his mother. All of the pieces seemed to come together and Teddy realized what had just happened: his mother was just murdered. Daniel comforted Teddy and took him in his arms for what would be the last time, although neither of them knew at the time. The police arrived not long after the incident when Teddy was torn from his father's grip as Daniel wad handcuffed and thrown into the back of the police car as he was arrested for the supposed murder of Lilly Jean Blanchard. Teddy pleaded and begged for the authorities to let his father go, however no one believed the little boy who claimed his mother had been killed by a wizard. His case was hopeless. Not long after, Daniel was sentenced to a 50 year sentence in prison for the murder of his loving wife. Teddy hasn't seen his father since the trial despite his many attempts to do so.

Teddy was taken in by his Aunt Lizzie in London as she is the only living family member of his who is not in prison. Lizzie herself was a muggle, but having grown up with Lilly she was well aware of the wizarding world. She knew that Daniel didn't kill Lilly, however there wasn't much she could do unless she wanted to be sent to a mental assylum for believing in wizards. It wasn't long until Teddy received his Hogwarts acceptance letter at age 11. By this time, Lizzie had done the best she possibly could to let Teddy live a normal life and be a normal kid despite the traumatic events that had occured only two years prior. Lizzie was thrilled for Teddy as she thought this would help let Teddy live his life normally without the guilt and trauma of his mother's death and father's imprisonment. Teddy has grown to learn that life goes on. He knows that he can't dwell on the past forever, and has done his best to not be the kid whose mother was killed by his father. Being ripped away from his parents and witnessing his own mother's death took a huge toll on Teddy at such a young age. He grew to appreciate everyone around him even more because you never know when your last conversation will be. He hates holding grudges because of this and values and family and friends more than anything. He puts everyone, from family to strangers, before himself. He would risk his life to save another's without a moment of hesitation. Teddy knows what it feels like to feel helpless. He discovered that it is the worst feeling there is, worse than despair even. He has devoted his future to saving everyone around him and keeping them from harm. Ever since his mother's death, Teddy has also been searching for any sort of evidence to prove that his father is in fact not guilty, but has had no such luck. He vows that he will one day find out who murdered his mother and make sure they end up in Azkaban. As much as Teddy despises the wizard who killed his beloved mother, he knows that revenge is never the right way to go, even if the man did take him away from his parents. He would never wish death upon others because he knows what it feels like to have a loved one die no matter how terrible of a person they are.
