Loyalty
Personality:(At least a paragraph)
Alain is for the most part is very quirky, good natured young lad with a dorky smile and a loyal heart. Those that are close to him he treats warmly and is more than happy to do favors for. It does however take some time to get to this point with Alain as the more zealous purebloods have elicited ill feelings towards him based on his muggle parentage. This has caused him to be a bit more tenacious and appear to have a chip on his shoulder. He is quite upfront and blunt about how he feels and does not shy away from confrontation especially those that poke fun at his muggle parentage. He often seeks to outdo those that come from pureblood wizarding families that hold their pedigree over his head. Often employing his sharp wit to counter their uncouth comments.
He keeps a good majority of his interests from muggle world as opposed to adopting those of the wizarding world as it is still more familiar and welcoming then what he has experienced at Salem’s Institute. He is a bit indecisive if he wants to continue in this world or forego it completely for a life of normalcy in the muggle world. This is one of the biggest sources of conflict for him as he doesn’t really feel like he belongs in either world. He often keeps this to himself and puts up a very convincing front. He longs to be accepted by his peers and not be seen as an outsider.
His sense of humor however tends to be causes people to be drawn towards him. He often can make a joke about anything and often is good at getting out of awkward situations. The liveliness of his facial expressions are often on par with his witty banter. This allowed him to make quite a few friends and become moderately well known within his class.
In regards to romance Alain is rather aloof and doesn’t think anything of it. Although it would be nice to find a lass but it isn’t something he is actively seeking. He figures it will come to him when he least expects it. This has caused him to inadvertently flirt with members of the opposite sex and may have given them the wrong idea as he is just being himself. He goes to the beat of his own drum and romantic endeavors remain on the periphery for the most part. What the future holds he isn’t sure but is fairly optimistic that things will turn out for the best. This optimism has helped him persevere when things would often look bleak in this world that befell him.

Biography:(At least two paragraphs)
Alain comes from humble origins of two blue collar working class muggle parents in city of Montreal. His earlier years were spent lazing around in school until he was off so he could go play hockey with his friends. Often hoping to emulate his brother who was away at Michigan University as a forward. For the most part his life was relatively normal and completely unaware of the fact magic even existed. It came as quite a culture shock to him when he received his letter to Salem Witches Institute. This was an immediate culture shock for him as this world was completely foreign to him. His folks couldn’t offer helpful advice as they hadn’t a clue what this world entailed.
His first year was quite difficult as it was a significant learning experience for him and he began to experience the subtle bigotry that exists in the wizarding world. However he persevered and carved out his own niche in his class. Eventually he landed himself a spot on the Tituba quidditch team as beater in his second year. He excelled quite a bit in this role but wasn’t the cleanest player and took on the role of goon often directing the bludgers or his bat the direction in the opposing team’s players. This didn’t go to well with the other clubs but made him well liked on Titubas team as he protected his teammates no matter the consequences. This coupled with his comedic wit allowed him to make a few friends and become moderately well known within the class. Popularity was never his aim but rather to be accepted by his peers.
The rest of his years seemed to decently well with Alain starting to become more comfortable with his place in the wizarding world. However the thought of never truly being accepted by these people is always on the periphery of his mind.
