I hope this is okay! [hider=Anthony Stuart] [center][img=https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bm2U4_PbZgg/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAAaI/ZiND_EyR7kc/photo.jpg][/center] [u][b]FULL NAME:[/b][/u] Anthony Stuart [u][b]AGE:[/b][/u] 15 [u][b]BLOOD:[/b][/u] Pureblood [u][b]ALIGNMENT:[/b][/u] Neutral [u][b]HOUSE:[/b][/u] Slytherin [u][b]PERSONALITY:[/B][/u] Anthony Stuart is sharp, gentlemanly and a perfect pureblood heir. He is somewhat reserved, preferring to let others answer questions and do most of the talking; however, when his interest is sparked he has a thirst for knowledge and the confidence to talk for days on a subject. He aspires to know everything about everything and thinks of himself halfway there already. His overwhelming sarcasm and inability to understand jokes (perhaps by choice) makes it easy for him to alienate others, especially when quiet arrogance oozes from every pore. When he isn't given the opportunity to take the lead, he becomes a 'lone wolf' and would work harder than ever to prove that he doesn't need anyone, let alone friends. [u][b]BIO/HISTORY:[/b][/u] “All for one” is the Stuart family's motto as it has been for centuries – almost since the founding of Hogwarts. As a clan of Scottish purebloods that is both far-reaching and fertile, they live in the highlands to the north of Hogwarts far away from the influence of muggles. Anthony is the younger of two brothers, but his brother Alistair (a Hogwarts graduate working abroad in Ancient Runes) decided that being the heir of such a prestigious family was too much responsibility and so passed it on. Shortly after, he took up a new family name so that he could get work – it is fairly well-known that the Stuart family supported Voldemort during his first rise, and Grindelwald before that. They follow the pursuit of power. With his mother in Azkaban since Anthony was three, his unmarked father was forced to frantically raise him while maintaining his seat on the Wizengamot and fervently protesting his innocence in the war. As a result, he spent most of his time with tutors and teachers from a very early age. He now values time with his family dearly as a result. Once he received his wand, his father began to spend more time with him – teaching him the Stuarts' preferred pastime of dueling. In the summer after first year, he was entered into a junior (invitation-only) competition, which he won. Once it progressed onto the international stages, it was clear he had a talent; however, he was still for the most part untrained compared to the second and third years present and came 3rd . It was the only time he didn't win as the following years he ranked 1st. Anthony didn't take part in the advanced competition after his 4th year due to issues regarding his brother's absence and new walk of life as well as his father's ill-health; however, it has instilled a new passion (even a bloodthirst) in him for the sport as he learns all the spells he can during the school year, requesting books of dubious legality from home. This year, his 5th, he is expected by both his teachers and his father to receive full Outstandings in the O.W.Ls he takes. [u][b]NOTABLE SKILLS:[/b][/u] Dueling – Anthony's talent which supposedly runs in his family is in dueling. He is quick with his shield spells and even quicker with his offense. His aggressive style often frazzles the opponent, as does his large repertoire of pointless spells that he casts to confuse his enemy. Defense Against The Dark Arts – Going hand in hand with dueling, it is Anthony's best subject. He studies for it in his free time out of fun, not to pass exams. His written essays are much longer than they need to or should be simply because he is confident of his knowledge, having received top marks in it and aiming for a mastery once he finished school. Although he is excellent at charms as well, he tends to be lazy in it as he thinks the only ones he will need are the ones with offensive use in dueling. Knowledge of the School – Anthony is prone to wandering. As such, he discovered the locations of the kitchens and the absolute fastest route to each of his electives. Punctuality is the key to a healthy education, after all. He has never been late.
