[b]Personality[/b]: When it comes to the display of his character Rayner is hard to sort, because he tends to keep to the margins of the social circles at Hogwarts; but in his thoughts and private affairs he is truly a Ravenclaw. He fancies himself to be a creative and conscientious student with a knack for the more ‘open’ and practical disciplines.  

Rayner is often very quick to get attached to people who fit into his idea of what an ideal friend/companion should be like, although he does not speak of it often because of his shyness. This shyness is perhaps what prevents him from leaving his comfort zone and actively seeking ‘adventure’ which he greatly longs for and wishes would find him instead.

He is also a fan of sports and enjoys playing them as much as watching them. Unexpectedly to those who think him to be more on the passive side, he is very competitive when it comes to sports and games and he found the discovery of Quidditch one of the most pleasant things that happened to him at Hogwarts, more so than magic itself, and he dreams of playing for the Ravenclaw team one day as much as any other (wizard) boy his age does.

Two of his biggest flaws are: 1) that he is dependent on his sister’s guidance, help and protection more often than he should be – or at least he was during his first year at Hogwarts; and 2) that he can be quite oblivious to how things actually are around the school and in the world at large because he gets so caught up in his vision of how things ought to be that he does not know how to react in face of reality.
