Holding up a figure of 5'10", and having a weight of around 137 pounds, Keith isn’t intimidating person as he gives off the air of 'Care-Free', 'Energetic' and 'Quirky' from his appearance. His posture has never been uptight as, he seems to maintain always having his arms in a 'L' shape with his dominate hand sticking out and leans slightly onto his right side being slightly more feminine form. His face always seems to be plastered on with a cheerful grin or smile that betray what you can subtly feel rumbling underneath the calm happy surface he projects. In any situation, you can find Keith wandering from one place to another investigating anything he finds curious or sitting comfortably in a spot where he will be in until he feels the need to move.

Keith is an outgoing person who likes socializing but can be a very shy guy when he wants to, which is considered his 'grumpy' moments when he just wants to lay in bed and be lazy. He shuns the light for he is a night owl and a early bird who lives during the odd hours and despises the afternoon. He is often thought to be a person who doesn't study much, but during these odd hours is when he prefers to expand and brush up his knowledge. So don't be surprised when Keith is wandering around late at night and ignoring curfew, cause he isn't afraid to break a few rules if he isn't caught, but he prefers the keep his appearance as the teacher's pet. For he is know to suck up to teachers whether intentionally or accidentally by nature, as he likes to talk to older people from his age group over his own peers.
To his teachers and older folk he is a helpful and respectful person who tries to help out as much as he can within his own limits. But to his friends, he becomes a talkative and flirty individual. He likes to be a troublemaker sometimes from behind the scenes and tag along with friends to explore. Being quite a natural with masking his own emotions and feigning a mask which deceives people as being cheerful while underneath who knows what he could be feeling. His ability to hide his emotion is a good thing however, he often holds them in instead of releasing it and confronting making him get into trouble more when it all just... pops. Making him quite capable of being stoic if needed when agitated or anger making him fully capable of creating a eerie feeling around him. When that happens... just take a few steps back in case anything explodes. So Keith himself is quite a blend of both being a sociable person, easily talking to people but sometimes likes keeping to himself as a loner making him being a spoonful of social extremities. But you never you what he may be feeling unless you personally take the steps to ask him.
Outside of socializing, Keith knows from experience that showing off all the time isn't the best way to keep friends or even make good friends. So he tends to downplay and be modest about his own capabilities that betrays the rumors about him. Often making a joke out of himself when he 'accidentally' fails at something, he pulls the jokester card pretty well. It also tends to keep him out of trouble from the arrogant students who challenge him for a match, which he gives to the initiator most of the time due to his lack of interest if he's not testing something out. He doesn't mind not being the best, as he prefers to see others do what they do in the spotlight while he watches them.

The Murray Family is aa old wizarding family who never made any big marks in the wizarding world, being considered mostly the everyday wizard. Their only notable feat the family possesses is their studious nature in magic since the times of old and their deceptive intelligence which placed most of the family in the Ravenclaw house. However, to the well-versed wizard in history the Murray's are a strange family who are known to have a history of their families as vampires...

Keith born into a relatively normal wizard family, however, depending on your definition of 'normal' between you and Keith may be surprising. The Murray family was every bit different from normal, but they raised Keith like every child they have generations before. Under a steady and stern hand, they started training Keith early at an age with little care of decorum expect for the basics. With the Grade 1 Spellbook in his hand and a wand in his hand in his hands at the age of 6, they slowly taught him the basics and advancing to the next grade when he was competent enough. While having little social interaction with other kids of his age, he often attended parties with his family and gained the skill of acting. Learning the part of acting to be sociable, Keith gained the social graces of the pure-bloods, learning to deceive and play along with their game of social graces.
Entering Hogwarts at age 11, Keith was two grade ahead of his peers when his letter came to the door inviting the young boy. Learning both his first and second-year material during his time his family prepared him to enter Hogwarts. His family was proud at Keith and his progress already, knowing that their child entering Hogwarts would show the fruits of their efforts. Earning his early present by getting a pet cat as his familiar, he was already prepared for his first year as his family planned everything far in advance. Letting Keith not have to worry about shopping and allowed him to continue practicing until it was time to leave. The Sorting Ceremony was indeed a interesting part of his first year, for he was the Hatstall of the year taking eight minutes to decided where to place him. His cunning and deception for Slytherin, intelligence for Ravenclaw, his sociability to Hufflepuff but never Griffendor. He quietly debated with the Hat having a pleasant conversation before throwing himself in Hufflepuff with no particular reason.
The next six years... well they were eventful, as Keith learned to solidify his act of being sociable and learned to make friends early on his first year and eventually grew to be a well-liked person who knew his stuff. Helping his peers in their studies but never actually just giving them his homework, he helped the students improve their grades along with the older students surprisingly as well, because Keith kept up his two grade advantage by studying the next grade he needed. Knowing this not too long in the first year, the Dueling Club quickly picked up the wizard and thrust the boy into a duel with a third-year student. While being obviously defeated, he was a advance duelist for his age as a first year and lasted for several minutes. The duel confirmed his advance skill in magic and the club took the boy in for he had no other extracurricular activity. But noticing quickly in his first year the look that he received, he greatly toned down his display in magical power for the next five years until needed. Performing the bare minimum needed for classes and restraining himself during the day, while reviewing everything at night in private.
For Keith, he never took a liking in the magical sport of Quidditch, making him focused on his academics and excelled in his classes with little trouble due to the time on his hands. Along with his position in the Dueling Club helped him practice his spells and before long he was one of the best duelist whenever he decided to actually try as his magical prowess was intimidating when used which was on a rare situation. But most of the time he experimented spells a bit haphazardly which often worked to a minor effect which lead him to be beaten often and most people underestimating him. But besides as a Duelist, he worked under the Prefects and Head Boy/Girl of Hogwarts before his fifth year in Hogwarts also solidified his reputation of being a trustworthy student by the staff. Before finally being assigned being a Prefect himself during his fifth year without hesitation from his history and then succeeded as Head Boy during his seventh year. He is expected to become a Auror from his own opinion and the staff's agreement on his academic grades to be well suited for such position. But he keeps the idea as shushed up as possible to avoid any unnecessary attention to himself.
