He's tall and lanky, towering over many other students at an impressive height of 6'3. He carries himself with a confidence that he's earned through years of hard work and adversity. His swagger is not that of a rich young heir, but that of a boy who knows damn well that he can give as well as he gets, and isn't afraid to let people know. His presence is certainly not that of a bookish scholar, like many of his housemates. Gatsby's has found that, most people don't find him, "hot." His ex girlfriend described him as "cute" and he finds that that's how most people see him. A slender frame with little muscle definition along with baby blue eyes and shaggy blonde hair give him a boyish look. If it wasn't for his height he could easily pass as a fourth year, at least he thinks so. Gatsby's appearance is of little concern to him, and that much is evident. He rarely puts any effort into looking well dressed. His shirt is often untucked, his tie loose, and his sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His hair is kept neat through use of a quick spell, but the rest of him is rarely ever well taken care of. He simply doesn't care enough.[/indent] [hr][hr][h3][color=deepskyblue]ACADEMICS[/color][/h3] [color=deepskyblue][b]H O U S E:[/b][/color] [indent]"That would be Warren.

He's terrified of the things. When the boggart manifests in front of Gatsby it's generally got way more eyes than normal and is always hissing and spitting and clacking it's pincers.

Well let's start with the good stuff. He's loyal as all hell. If your his friend, you'd have to do a hell of a lot to get him to drop you. And god help you if you go after one of his friends. He doesn't take kindly to that. Not to mention he's incredibly smart, obviously. He's loves to learn, and there's a bit of a running joke that he's sexually attracted to books with more than a thousand pages. It's just a joke, but he does really like big books. Gatsby's also a jokester, and he loves a good prank. He has a habit of being far too honest but generally he's only trying to help. He'd never insult someone out of malice, unless he truly believed they deserved it. He's a great listener, and an even better problem solver, but he does hate when people try to tell him how to fix his own problems. A giant hypocrite when it comes to that. Now on to the bad. Gatsby is, for lack of a better term, an ass. He's arrogant and a showoff of epic proportions. He constantly thinks he's worse than everyone else so he does his best to put on a show of extravagance, excelling in his school work and his other ventures. It can be a bit of a pain to those who don't know about his insecurities. Gatsby is also an emotional mess, wearing his heart on his sleeve. He's quick to anger and overreact, although he's just as quick to forgive. His thirst for knowledge makes him a bit of a nosy little twit sometimes, and he has a habit of getting in other people's business.[/indent] [color=deepskyblue][b]R O M A N T I C I N T E R E S T S:[/b][/color] [indent]"Most people know, but I'm into guys and girls. Bisexual as they call it. I don't really have a type, just someone who's smart enough to keep up with me y'know?
