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!)


 * Unlike his sister, Euan isn't smiley and sweet to someone as soon as he meets them, but he's in no way a mean, unpleasant character either. He needs to warm up to people before he starts being friendly, and eccentric strangers with permanent grins who talk to him like they've known him forever when they've only just met annoy him tremendously. Instead, wait a while to let him figure you out, and he'll warm up to you, I promise. After his time in the gang, and after spats of rivalry with other gangs, trust has never been his strong point.


 * He's a down-to-earth guy, that's for sure. He can be pretty blunt at times, and is never afraid to tell it how it is - the severity of how he does it depends on his feelings towards the person. Just don't rub him the wrong way. Sarcasm is another skill of his, but overall, his sense of humour is pretty spectacular; he's always up for a joke, and when he was younger, before he joined the gang, he was the Class Clown. Since then he's hardened slightly - when he pulls up a poker face, it's completely impenetrable - but catch him on a good day, and he's a pretty decent laugh.


 * Unlike how the films enjoy portraying gang members, Euan isn't a violent, macho thug - only when the time calls him to be, and that's rarely ever at school. He's not an introvert, but he's not a bouncy extrovert either. Socialising is one of his strong points, as is lying and manipulating and worming his way out of trouble, but he isn't gratuitous with it; something else he quickly learned in gang land is that attracting unnecessary attention is to be avoided at all costs, so he doesn't make a show of anything he does. Fighting in public, vandalism and testing out spells is all to be done in the shadows, where he can't be found.


 * He's not a bad guy, and he disagrees with people calling him one just because he's part of a gang. Around friends who he wants to protect, he's almost a completely different person. When him and his sister are at Hogwarts, there's no way of telling what they're involved in. That is, of course, unless it's called for.

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!)


 * '''Euan has been ahead of his sister ever since they were born, even though they were conceived at the same time. Due to complications, Euan was born a week earlier than Eilidh, and it's something he's enjoyed teasing his sister about for pretty much their entire life. Born onto the rather rough streets of Sighthill, Glasgow, they were the product of infidelity - their father Alan was never a role model, as Euan would come to find out in the future. He'd visit them occasionally, never paid child support but would sometimes give them money if he hadn't already blown it down the betting station, but overall he was barely a shadow in the twins' lives, and as Euan grew and matured, his dislike towards his father grew. He remembers him being incredibly young-looking, more like a model than an alcoholic, and would come to discover that he was a half-Veela; a trait Euan and his sister would inherit. It would also come out that he'd committed some pretty heinous crimes, and on Euan's tenth birthday, Alan was carted off to Azkaban. He remains there now, and is never visited.  Euan discovered he had his father's magical blood three days before Eilidh did, by managing to steal his destroy his mother's room without touching a single thing; it was his seventh birthday, and he'd just found out his sister had been diagnosed with Vitiligo. He had no idea what it was, but it sounded scary, so the tantrum of pure fear for his sister resulted in his mum's bedroom being torn to pieces. That was the first time the potential of Euan's anger rose to the surface, and it wouldn't be the last.  He was only thirteen when Eilidh got herself involved with the local gang, and to this day Euan doesn't really know why (or he refuses to believe the reasons she tells him) she joined, but he does know that when he overheard one of the gang members mocking his sister for her condition, his anger and natural fighting abilities rose to the surface. He made mincemeat of the guy, and it took Eilidh's natural charm to convince the leader not to club Euan round the head there and then. Luckily it went well, eventually resulting in Euan joining the gang himself. Despite their young ages, they were taken pretty seriously, and they've only moved up in the ranks as they've grown.  He took up boxing seriously when he was eleven, against his mother's wishes, but he knew he had a talent for it and since then he has only gotten stronger; he could easily go professional with his skills. It's a skill that has definitely come in handy, especially in his position in the gang, and in order to keep in shape, he'll often work out in the Dance Hall.  Him and his sister were accepted into Hogwarts a week apart (something else to tease her about). They explained it to their friends by saying they were going to stay with their dad. They knew better.'''

8) Write about your character's appearance. How 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!


 * Contrary to his sister's belief, Euan's stone face is capable of cracking a smile, even if it takes a little coaxing. He's tall and toned, with dark skin and even darker eyes, and he'll almost always have some sort of injury on his body, whether that be a bruise or a broken bone. Dress-wise, he'll wear anything as long as it's comfortable; he's firmly against Hogwarts uniforms. They're so ugly.

9) Are you Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important Harry Potter characters!)


 * Half-blood.

10) Does your character have any special magical abilities? Or special abilities in general (photographic memory, etc.)? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as veela, vampire, werewolf or the likes? Part or half of that magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have an "exotic" characters as your first two characters!)


 * Quarter veela

11) What year is your character in?


 * Fifth
