He's not the biggest or tallest guy but he keeps in shape. His features are a little mature but still, younger-looking, giving the impression that he'll look like a teenager for another ten years. He has dark eyes and hair, which he keeps styled just to his liking. He has light skin, which tans easily. While not bulky, his form is made up mostly of lean muscle.[/indent] [b][u]Clothing Style:[/u][/b] [indent]Teddy dresses rather casually when not in robes and uniform. He embraces casual Muggle clothing. He'd prefer just shorts and a t-shirt or tank. However, having lived in colder climates he has grown fond of jeans and henleys and casual button up shirts. He likes boots which he often wears, but also owns two pairs of nice basketball sneakers. He has a silver ring he wears on his left hand at all times. He also occasionally wears one of two snapbacks, one for each of his favorite Quidditch and NBA teams.[/indent] [b][u]Tattoos | Scars | Markings:[/u][/b] [indent]None[/indent][hr][hr][center][h3][color=000000][u]Behind The Mask[/u][/color][/h3][/center] [b][u]Likes:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*]Potions [*]Sports - Quidditch and Basketball [*]Wizarding Wireless Network/Radio [*]Girls [*]Trying New things [*]Social Events [*]Sweets[/list][/indent] [b][u]Dislikes:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*]Complacency [*]Cold Weather [*]Being told what to do [*]Transfiguration [*]Being insulted or disrespected[/list][/indent] [b][u]Fears:[/u][/b] [indent][list][*]Being Alone [*]Something happening to his family while he's gone [*]Spiders[/list][/indent] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] [center][u]♦ Gregarious ♦ Presumptuous ♦ Ambitious ♦ Adventurous ♦[/u][/center] [indent] Tadeo is a people person and is good at helping people feel included and welcome. He remembers just about everyone that he meets and can form a friendship rather quickly, though he does have those few people he values above all else. He's a bit of a charmer and likes to make friends with just about everyone. He thrives off the energy of other people and is at home in large groups, everywhere from an outing, to a party, to a Quidditch match. While he is capable of holding a good conversation one-on-one, he tends to dominate a conversation in groups larger than three people. While friendly, Teddy can be a bit self-centered. If allowed, he will talk and talk, holding focus of a conversation on whatever he finds interesting. Teddy is ambitious in the sense that he wants to be his best self. He focuses on his talents and tries to work them to the best they can be so as to better suit his goals. His ambition extends to his close friends. Not that he wants to surround himself with successful people, but when he sees his friends have a talent or interest or even what he feels is a shortcoming, he can't help but involve himself. Like himself, he wants them to be the best they can be. This lead him to do things like encouraging someone to "open up" or even signing them up to try out for the Quidditch team. He simply does what he feels is best for someone, not always considering if it's what they want. Sure sometimes it works out, but other times he only ends up causing problems for them. He just cannot understand that they have a different view of life and perhaps different wants and priorities. He loves new experiences. Teddy will jump at the chance to see a new place, or eat a strange food, or to learn a new skill. [/indent][hr][hr][center][h3][color=000000][u]Delving Deeper[/u][/color][/h3][/center] [b][u]Background:[/u][/b] [indent]Tadeo Cruz Diaz was born to two magical parents in the U.S. His mother was a half-blood witch with a talent for potions, while his father was pure blood wizard whose talents were in more mundane areas. The two ran their own apothecary in an enormous metropolitan area. Teddy grew up an only child, his parents' pride and joy who could do no wrong. Their love and support helped shape his confidence and they encouraged him to chase after any goal. They allowed him to learn for himself what was within his limits rather than squash his dreams outright. At a young age he discovered a love of the radio. While he’d seen Muggle televisions with both their visuals and sound, something about the Wizarding Wireless Network caught his attention. His father tracked down some recordings of the old Potterwatch broadcasts and they solidified his of of the wireless. He was fascinated by these brave people who chose to use this medium to not only oppose You-Know-Who, but to keep up spirits as well. When it came time to go to school, Teddy was enthralled by the opportunity to go to school in a place so different from his own home. Where the city was crowded, smelly, hot, but exciting, his school was open and free while still being exciting. He met so many new people in similar situations to his own. It hadn't been often that he'd been able to see so many kids his own age that were also wizards. He took to his lessons with a passionate drive. He quickly found that he'd inherited his mother talents for Potions. He also quickly found that he hated Transfiguration. He did well in lecture and the theoretical aspects, but he fell short when it came to practice, leading to him giving up on the subject altogether by his fourth year. He was rather well-liked at his old school among teacher and peers and well-acquainted with a few of the witches in his year. He was involved in organizing various social events and celebrations for Quidditch victories. Despite his enthusiasm for Quidditch, he simply cannot fly, but taking over the commentator post was just as fun. In his time at King Cove, he managed to become familiar with not only the student body, but the school and grounds, along with some areas he could probably get in trouble for. Teddy jumped at the chance to experience another wizard school when the opportunity was presented to his class the previous school year, especially a school as famous as Hogwarts. He's looking forward to living in such a historic place among people from a culture different from his. He's ready to make new friends, meet some girls, and discover all that the castle has to offer him. While not directly related to his own career goals in Potions and the wireless, he believes this experience can only enrich his life in every way.[/indent] [b][u]Extra:[/u][/b] [indent]My favorite characters are Professor McGonagall and Neville Longbottom.[/indent][hr][hr][center][h3][color=000000][u]Hogwarts Information[/u][/color][/h3][/center][b][u]House:[/u][/b] [indent]Slytherin[/indent] [b][u]Year:[/u][/b] [indent]6th[/indent] [b][u]Blood Status:[/u][/b] [indent]Half-blood[/indent] [b][u]Wand:[/u][/b] [indent] 13" Sycamore with unicorn hair core, slightly springy[/indent] [b][u]Familiar:[/u][/b] [indent] A grumpy long-eared owl named Gus[/indent] [b][u]Patronus:[/u][/b] [indent]Chimp[/indent] [b][u]Professor?[/u][/b] [indent]Nope[/indent] [b][u]Death Eater?[/u][/b] [indent]No[/indent] [b][u]Quidditch?[/u][/b] [indent]Commentator[/indent] [b][u]Extracurricular Activities?[/u][/b] [indent]Commentator for Quidditch matches, Potions Club, transfer student[/indent][/hider]
