The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Cormac is the epitome of mischievousness and trickery, which is mostly due to his leprechaun half. He can be combative, daring, assertive, boisterous, and is likely to cross the line into being cruel. He is drawn to challenges and has a forceful will. Cormac also has a strong flair for drama and style, and is a fast-moving, fast-talking person who has an appreciation for the finer things in life. While he typically makes things up as he goes along, he has no qualms about planning ahead for something BIG. Although Cormac can come across as brash, brazen, and overly exuberant, deep down he is very loyal and caring. He is observant enough to know when someone is upset, but he's more likely to offer support via a joke or hexing their enemies, rather than a big comforting hug (not that he is physically capable of a big hug anyway). Despite his trickster nature, he's not so daft or arrogant that he doesn't know when to stop fooling around and be serious. Cormac is also quite intelligent, which shows when he is not fooling around. He often appears not to be listening to what somebody says, only to spring on them his knowledge of said topic, later on. Naturally though, he takes his knowledge and applies it to his pranks.

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. Cormac’s father, an unnamed leprechaun one day decided to “experience” a day as a human, and acquired a polyjuice potion from the black market. By the evening, he ended up at a bar where he met Kathleen Ó Raghailligh. Unaware that the man who was hitting on her was a leprechaun, she had a drunken one night stand with him, which resulted in her becoming pregnant. Kathleen did not particularly care about the blood-purity of any child, considering she was half-blood herself, but she was in for a shock once he was born. She did not want to raise a half-breed, and definitely not a bloody leprechaun, but she did so anyway. She was vehemently opposed to everything that leprechauns stood for, and thus tried her best to raise Cormac away from their influence. Cormac, as a baby, was fairly docile. However, as soon as he was able to walk, he wrecked havoc everywhere he went. He got into things he wasn’t supposed to, accidentally broke things, and often summoned leprechaun gold when it was completely inappropriate to do so. Kathleen became fed up with his antics, and thus purposely weakened him, by forcing him to wear cuffs made of iron. As he was very young when his mother started making him wear iron cuffs, he saw it as “normal”. He continued to function, as though he were a non-magical child. Cormac was climbing a tree at a park one day, when a high branch snapped, and he fell to the ground. The impact of the fall broke his cuffs, and his mother tried to reign him in. This led to his first act of magic at the age of 10, which was him temporarily paralyzing his mother’s legs so that he could run away. He was eventually found and caught by an Irish auror, who took him back to his mother, giving the conditions that he is to not be cuffed again. His mother agreed to the terms, only to break them a week later when she had new iron cuffs placed on Cormac. Later that year, he received a letter to Hogwarts- which his mother is glad to let him go, as that means he is no longer her problem.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here! Due to his leprechaun genetics, Cormac appears younger than he is. He also stands at a short 114 cm, compared to the average of 140 cm for his age. He also possesses the typical pointy ears of a leprechaun.



4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!) Cormac is half-breed, with his mother being a half-blood.

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!) Cormac is half-leprechaun.

6) What year is your character in? First
