Forum:Clyde Shaw

1) Give a 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. Clyde was born in a small town of Ireland. He raised by divorced parents, his mom (Juliet Pirelli) poor, and his father (Robert Shaw) very wealthy. He was the oldest of 3 siblings, Daniel Shaw, Eric Shaw, and Sophie Shaw. His father was rich merchant from England that moved to Ireland once he married Clyde's mother. Juliet, Clyde's mother, was a French farmers wife that was raised poor. Clyde was raised mostly by his father, given his large amount of money from being a merchant. Son weekends, he would go to stay with his mother. Both of his parents were magic beings, his mom, a muggle-born, and his dad, a pure-blood.

When Clyde was 10, he started working to help support his mother. He worked for a friend of his fathers, getting paid 4 pounds an hour and 3 Galleons an hour. Clyde learned at an early age how to take care of himself, especially after his father moved to Saudi Arabia to continue his career. He no longer had his dad or his dads income, so he was forced to help provide food for his family.

When Clyde was 11, he got his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, and left that August for school. (Clyde was s Ravenclaw) In September, at the start of the term, Clyde kept mostly to himself. He focused on school work, trying to get good grades. He also tried to find and earn money any way he could to send it back to hid mother. On Clyde's third year at Hogwarts, Daniel came to Hogwarts. Daniel became a Gryffindor, so Clyde didn't see him to much. On Clyde's 4th year, Eric came. This changed a lot of things for Clyde because Eric was also sorted into Ravenclaw. Clyde spent a lot of time helping out his brother. Eric was really Clyde's only friend at Hogwarts. On Clyde's 6th year, Sophie came, and was sorted into Gryffindor like Daniel.

On Clyde's last year, he became particularly attached to his History of Magic teacher. All other years, he had hated this class, but now, things had changed. When Clyde left Hogwarts, he had plans to see the world and become a merchant like his father. The Duxterran war came along, and instead of enlisting, Clyde worked to transport supplies to troops on the front line. He did this until Duxterra ended, when he decided he wanted to become a teacher. He got paid well from his old job, and decided to take some time off until he could get a teaching job.

2) Give a description of your character's personality. Personality must be at least one paragraph long. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or humble? Clyde changed a lot from when he was at Hogwarts to when he began work. He was very  quiet, humble, and shy, but is now more out going, prideful, and Kind. He likes to chat with people, and loves to make people laugh.
