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!) Grey is outspoken, clever, and quite arrogant. He tends to be quite self-centered with his innate intelligence as a result of having two geniuses for parents not to mention his good looks. Grey is attractive and he knows it. He does well in all of his classes despite the fact that he doesn't try nearly as hard as some others do. While Grey takes pride in his appearance and intelligence, he doesn't like to brag about his social status or how rich he is. Grey doesn't think it is right to brag about social status as it is something people can't really control. Besides, there isn't much to brag about. Grey wishes his parents weren't so rich so they'd actually get to spend some time with him anyways. He tends to avoid talking about his parents and life at home. Few people know of Grey's home situation. However, Grey has no problem letting people know how smart he is. He tends to be quite argumentative as he hates being wrong. Grey loves being the center of attention. Maybe it's because of how little attention his parents give him- who knows? He has the tendency to ward people off with his cocky attitude, but he doesn't really care. Grey doesn't like people who can't keep up with him anyways. He absolutely can't stand being around dumb or fake people, as mean as it may sound. Although he'd never admit it, Grey is in desperate need of a friend or someone who gives a crap about him. It is clear that he is depressed and needs some light in his life.

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!) Fitzgerald Grey Smythe was born on August 17 to Lori and David Smythe in Beverly Hills, California. Lori had been a former Slytherin but left her hometown in London shortly after graduating Hogwarts to chase her dreams of becoming a successful software engineer at Stanford University. Lori left behind her past life at Hogwarts and decided to live the Muggle life, graduating Stanford at the top of her class. Lori moved to Los Angeles and got an internship as an engineer for the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the lead center for NASA's robotic exploration of the solar system. It wasn't long until Lori met David.

David himself was a muggle and extremely successful in the world of business. He had been passed down his family's management company at the young age of 23. It wasn't long after David gained control of his family's business that its success skyrocketed. David's well thought out investments paid off quickly. David was a millionaire on his way to becoming a billionaire. David and Lori met through mutual friends and hit it off immediately. Despite their extremely busy lives, David and Lori decided to get married after only 8 months of dating. David and Lori bought a house together in one of the most well known and richest neighborhoods in the world, Beverly Hills. It was safe to say that David and Lori were on their way to becoming the most successful couple in the United States.

Lori and David were quite happy for the first 10 or so years of their marriage, but their happiness didn't last forever. By the time Lori was 35 and David was 36, Lori could tell their chemistry was dwindling down to its ultimate low. Despite David's lack of interest and faith, Lori didn't want to leave him. The times she had caught him fooling around with other women were brushed aside. In fear of David divorcing her, Lori decided to take action and give him a reason to stay. Putting her job and future in jeopardy, Lori stopped taking birth control without telling her husband. It didn't take long for her to become pregnant with Grey. Sure enough, her plan worked, as demeaning as it was for her to swoop down to such a low level.

Grey grew up without his parents for most of his life. After giving birth to her son, Lori took about half a year off of work to care for him before going straight back to the high level of intensity and long hours. David had never been around because of his high level of responsibility being the CEO of a billionaire managment company. For the most part, his maids and nannies were more of a mother to him than his own birth mother. Grey had always known that he would be a wizard as his mother had told him of how she was one herself. His suspisions were only confirmed with the multiple magical occurences he unintentionally caused from floating objects to fine china breaking without being touched. Grey felt as if his magical roots were the only bond he had with his mother. Even then, it wasn't a strong bond.

Lori's long hours of work kept her from spending time with her sun in addition to her frequent business trips. As for David, Grey never had any sort of communication with his father. Lori at least made an effort to see her son, whereas David acted as if he couldn't care less about Grey. Grey was lonely, for the most part. He felt like no one cared about him. Of course, if Grey asked for something, he would always get it, but his unhappiness couldn't be cured through money, no matter how many toys his mother bought for him. If Grey wanted a hoverboard, he would get it in a heartbeat. He was quite spoiled. Grey didn't care about these materialistic things though. Grey only wanted to be loved. This was the one thing he never had, really. For the most part, whatever he wanted he would get. Grey always felt out of place, even at school. He couldn't stand school events such as talent shows or student organized bake sales. Everytime there was a class party or show, all of his classes' parents would be there. Grey was the only boy in the whole school whose parents could never make it to one of his performances or recitals. Grey became used the feeling of rejection despite how spoiled he was. However, this doesn't mean that he liked being told no. Grey did, and still does hate being told no. He doesn't understand why he can get anything he wants except for his parents attention. As a child, Grey was no stranger to throwing tantrums as a result of the lack of attention from his mother and father.

Grey felt relieved when he received his Hogwarts letter after turning 11. He thought Hogwarts would be a way to escape his life of disappointment at home. Grey is quite outgoing, even if he doesn't get along with most people. While Hogwarts has helped him, it hasn't changed his home situation at all. Grey dreads the day that he must graduate Hogwarts because he doesn't know what he is going to do with his life. David is insistant that he leave the wizarding world behind like his mother had and go to Harvard like he had so he can take over the family company someday to keep the legacy going. To make matters worse, Grey is an only child and David has no siblings so there is no one else to pass it down to. Grey only wants to live in London however and get a job at the Ministry of Magic or maybe become a professor at Hogwarts. The last thing he wants to do is be the same man his father was.

About two years ago Grey's nanny, Elizabeth, contacted his mother urgently, insisting that she needed to come back from her business trip in Germany early. Elizabeth was worried about Grey's mental health. Lori returned home reluctantly in an attempt to reach out to her son to see if she could figure out what was wrong. Lori ended up taking Grey to a psychologist to get him checked out. Sure enough, Grey was diagnosed with severe depression. The sad part is that this was the most one on one time Grey has had with his mother since he was 10. He was given antidepressents to improve his condition. Grey has been taking them ever since, but they haven't really made much of an impact. Maybe because he doesn't take them as much as he should, but he doesn't like having to take them anyways. They make him feel like something is wrong with him, but he's perfectly fine. At least, he likes to tell himself so.
