Anderson [B][U]DOB :[/U][/B] January 2nd, 1987 [B][U]APPEARENCE :[/U][/B] Darius takes after his father, moreso than his mother. Being an American, he has rather fair skin, and his hair is a dark black, with natural, dirty blonde streaks, near the roots, being rather shaggy in appearance - flitting over his hazel, nearly amber eyes, and going to the nape of his neck. He's rather tall for his age, standing at 5'6 or 5'7, and his form is still developing - but football, baseball, and Quidditch has already shaped it into a slightly muscular build. [B][U]BLOOD STATUS :[/U][/B] Half-blood. [B][U]PERSONALITY :[/U][/B] Naturally being a determined person, he is both focused and competent, being more mature than what his twelve years of age dictates. He is serious in his quest to become a powerful wizard warrior, and one day Auror. He isn't afraid of conversation, but if he isn't talking, he's not there at all, maybe jogging around the lake, training, or playing a heavy game of quidditch. When he talks, he keeps up in the conversation, although he may not say as much as the other party. He's not rude, being respectful if you're respectful first, but he is blunt, and will blatantly tell you if you're being stupid of cowardish. He never backs down from a fight. [B][U]WAND :[/U][/B] Blackthorn with Dragon Heartstring [B][U]HOUSE :[/U][/B] Gryffindor [B][U]BEST CLASSES :[/U][/B] Charms, Transfiguration, and DADA. [B][U]WORST CLASSES :[/U][/B] Divination, Herbology. [B][U]HISTORY :[/U][/B] Unlike the vast majority of Hogwarts students, Darius was not born in Great Britain. Rather, he grew up in America, in a muggle city with his two American parents, Rose and Colton Anderson. Colton was a retired auror, and his mother a nurse, and despite wanting a peaceful life, his father taught Darius all they knew about the auror system. Enchanted by the tales, Darius began reading magical fairy-tail books, and decided that he wanted to be a warrior, rather than a wizard. "The one who wields a sword and shield, striking down evil dragons!" He had read to his amused, wary parents when they were sitting around the campfire. They patiently explained that wizards were different in real life, and you can be both a warrior and a wizard. Life continued on, with his dream to become the strongest wizard warrior growing stronger each day. At muggle school, he played all sorts of sports, generally enjoying a muggle life, when not diligently studying practical magic theories in his room. When he received a letter from the American wizarding school, he ignored it, not really liking the thought. His parents respected his opinion. However, when, at the age of eleven, his father was called to become an Auror at Great Britain, they had to move, and could no longer ignore the letters - which was getting annoying. He was enrolled into First Year, considering he didn't have any formal magical education - having ignored the American Wizarding School's calling.
