The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Matheo is a Gryffindor for a very simple reason - His bravery. Though some see simply recklessness. Very often, he is out to prove himself so that he is not seen as weak, or one to be trifled with. Despite his job, and his general behavior, Matheo is very against most types of violence. Some, he understands, but he hates seeing people get seriously hurt and killed. This is why he didn't work out as an Auror - and he doesn't seem to particularly like the law, anyways. His bit of recklessness often protrudes into skimming the line between legal and illegal.

Matheo is often very charming, which is a huge factor into his dislike for violence - He often didn't need to use it himself, so he never really learned to fight. That being said, charm isn't everything. So sometimes, he has to be intimidating. This of course, means he can be intimidating. His presence is seemingly overpowering to some people, and he doesn't like using that side of himself - Because he really can be quite scary. Mostly, he tries to be a very caring, and kind guy, and uses that 'presence' of his to spread cheer and charm. Just don't hurt anyone he loves, and let him do his job.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

The Belfrey family has had their fortune for a long time now, for as long as the records have kept track of them. The Belfreys are known for birthing children who grow and branch out to become some of the most productive members of society, as entrepreneurs, lawyers, healers, government officials, etc. Over time, they've come together and amassed an unimaginable wealth, to which every Belfrey now has access to, contrary to the times where only the men in the family had access. Though they've always been centered in France & the United Kingdom, you're likely to find a descendant of the original Belfreys wherever you go - granted you know where to look. Lord knows the Belfreys breed fast, and at great quantities.

A key component of their family is the way they've come across throughout time. They're one of the original families in the world of magic - they've been in this Earth for centuries now, and thus feel a sense of superiority. It's not so much because they're of pure status - that's far from it. They've seen the rise and fall of many legendary families, great wizards and witches coming and going simply because they saw themselves as the best of the best, just because of the purity of their blood. That doesn't take away from the fact, though, that not all of them share the same mindset. Now think about how difficult it must be, living with a family that's ethically & morally diverse. The current Belfrey patriarch is a blood supremacist, despite his inclusive upbringing. He lived around the era of the Great Wizarding Wars, and has clung onto old ideals as an (undiscovered) former Death Eater. That, in itself, is bad enough.

His eldest daughter, Victoire Belfrey, is a prideful, arrogant woman. She strives to be one of the most powerful, one of the richest and most beautiful women to grace the British wizarding society. She's an over-accomplisher who married into the Yaxley family - a family known for their purity, their stance on muggle-borns and creatures, and the sheer amount of influence they have, what with all the political figures and lawyers they've spawned. Victoire is easily one of Bartholomew's favorite offspring; she understands what power is and strives to have it all. For that reason, her children's upbringing involved awareness of their status, and subsequently loads of tutoring on proper etiquette. They are, suffice to say, modern nobility - they have been ever since the rise into power of the Magical Monarchy. They need to look and act the part.

Victoire married Finnegan Belfrey, and Matheo Belfrey was born not long after. Four years after him, Colette, an illegitimate affair child, was born. Then Loraine, then Ethan, and so on. Very quickly after the others were born, he grew into a sort of protective state over the others. Whether it was from his family, or from others, he always was the first one to step in and protect them. Colette was an interesting case, because their father was not particularly fond of her. So he always kept caring for her behind a curtain. Still, he kept his distance. When he was nine, he was hanging out with some mates, but when they began roughhousing a little, and Theo refused to join in, they began calling him names, and teasing him -- unlike his siblings, he rarely had somebody to protect him, so he took it, but his anger showed later on he snapped at dinner, when Finnegan had asked how his day went. It'd have been fine if he hadn't pushed, but as soon as he did, the chicken in front of Finnegan exploded completely.

When he began Hogwarts, he was sorted into Gryffindor, and, keeping up with Belfrey appearances, he was a head student by his fifth year. He was often seen as a protector of his year, and was a perfect choice for such a position; Theo was welcoming to other students, and to the first years especially. It seems he had found his calling as a protector - and that carried in over in his adult life. When he was 20, after two years as an auror, and with help from his father, he had began a company, a security firm - It's purpose is to offer protection to any and all people around Lincliff, Hogsmeade, and all surrounding areas. He is now the CEO of the largest security firm in most of Scotland and Ireland.
