 * The first thing people will discover about Leo, and potentially be put off by, is just how incredibly picky he is. Leo has his fair share of weird habits: every number he uses has to be even. He can't sleep in a messy room. He always breaks a sandwich up into little pieces before eating it. He's scared of cracks in the pavement. He can't write with blue ink. He has to eat lunch at 11:30 - one minute late, and he has to wait an hour. Most of his life, they've been dismissed as childish habits, which he'll probably grow out of at some point - don't all children hate vegetables with a burning passion? But Leo sees them as completely, absolutely, entirely necessary. He needs things to be like that to function properly. It's incredibly hard to not find him irritable, as he'll not hesitate to stop in the middle of a conversation or refuse to do something just because he isn't comfortable. He often gets dismissed as a spoilt brat by people who don't know him, but he's fine with that - his habits come first, they always will.


 * Another particularly weird aspect of Leo is that he names things. And by "things", I mean everything. Leo feels the need to name absolutely everything he comes across, animate or inanimate, human or animal or just plain object - he will name it. All of his toys and stuffed animals have names, the raindrops that run down windows have names, the cracks in pavements he's so terrified of have names. It's just something else he needs to feel comfortable - why just call it a "raindrop" when it looks like a "Jacob" or a "Michael"?


 * But once you get past the annoying habits and the names, then Leo isn't all that bad. He's very self-centered, but not in a narcissistic or egotistical way - he'll always ensure he's fine and comfortable before concerning himself with anyone else, and yeah, he can be selfish at times, and unwilling to share, but Leo isn't one to venture out of his comfort zone. That's the thing - he isn't arrogant, he doesn't care only about himself, he's just not incredibly selfless. He enjoys other people's company, though. He does want friends.


 * But along with the independence comes a large amount of self-confidence - Leo isn't affected by criticism or bullying of any kind, and laughs off insults - and he's incredibly hard working. He never leaves a project unfinished, and has to complete everything through to the very end. He's meticulous, often to a painstaking degree, and a complete and utter perfectionist. Everything he creates has to be flawless, and although it often results in him spending way too long on things, they are often impressive at the end. Take his building hobby - everything has to be at the right angles, the right materials. Everything needs to be organised, sometimes to an OCD extent.


 * Around people, it completely depends what mood Leo's in. Most of the time, he's fine around other people, though he prefers adults to kids his own age. His brain is sometimes three seconds ahead of his mouth, but more often than not, he's friendly, and enjoys collecting information about people. He's naturally quite curious, and enjoys getting to know people. But he hates immaturity, and angers easily around immature people.

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!)


 * Leo's birth, parents, possible siblings and overall first few days of his life are completely nonexistent, as, like many orphans before and after him, Leo was dumped on the doorstep of a Muggle orphanage, wrapped in a blanket, with a note reading his first name, date of birth and weight pinned to the fabric. He's no recollection of his family - as far as he's concerned, he doesn't have one. He's still rather sour over the whole "being-dumped-on-a-doorstep" issue, but his parents clearly didn't want him, so he can't do much about it now (he'd leap at the chance to meet them, though).


 * Immediately he was taken in, and raised as Leonardo Everett - the name was selected by the care home staff. They told him that he can choose his middle name, but he's still deciding - it needs to be perfect. As he grew, the staff noticed his habits begin to develop; it begun with him having the constant need to keep his room tidy, and showing repulse at the several messy bedrooms of the other orphans. Then the fear of pavement cracks started, which had him hopping and skipping and stumbling all over the place when in town. He could never explain why he did it, but the staff quickly learned that if he was forced to walk normally, he'd throw tantrums (he was about five years old, cut him some slack!), so they decided to let him be.


 * He was around seven when he showed his first sign of magic. Accidentally smashing a large pile of plates in the kitchen without touching them (unknowingly witnessed by a rather alarmed care worker) can be considered a strange occurrence, right? Because of this, Leo was quickly rushed in for tests, and when the doctors concluded that he was perfectly normal, and maybe the care worker had just not seen it the way she thought she had, the event was left and not returned to for a few months.


 * It was just Leo's luck that one of the care workers at the orphanage had experienced this before. An old, frail Muggle lady, adored by the kids and especially Leo, had cared for another magical orphan years ago, and knew exactly where to send Leo. So, the day before his eight birthday, he was transferred to Lil Bundles, and left to grow up in the universe he really belonged.

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!


 * Leo's a rather small fellow, having inherited his mother's shortness and lankiness, though he's well-fed at the orphanage. His hair is a rich brown, grown quite long and allowed to fall in a fringe. His eyes are a few shades lighter, more honey-coloured than brown, and contain hints of green which he guesses comes from one of his parents. He's dotted with freckles all over, possesses ever-so-slightly crooked teeth (which drive him mad) and smiles more easily than he'd like to admit. His model is a young Josh Hutcherson.

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!)


 * Muggle-born.

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!)


 * He has an incredibly memory.

11) What year is your character in?


 * Orphan, not yet at Hogwarts.
