About the Character- -
Name: Nathaniel Pretense
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Year: 6th
Face Claim: Cam Gigandet
Canon or Original? Original
Facial Properties: Nathaniel has a precious baby face that's interrupted by a swoon-worthy jaw. His eyes will gleam blue, but when light shatters the dark, green reflects off his beautiful iris's. The pacific aura and smile that Nathaniel radiates brightens the darkest corners of a persons day.
His upper lip curls inward when he smiles, while his bottom lip is full and luscious, making a cute smile. His simple nose juts out just perfectly over his lips, next to his harsh cheeks. Nathaniel's hair will vary day to day; Sometimes he has it sticking up, stylishly, while other days he wears it down and buzz-cut.
Physique: Nathaniel has a chiseled physique. His upper body is strong and forceful, but his tender arms are welcoming and delicate. Not being the tallest of the boys, the muscle that's underneath the smooth, soft skin makes Nathaniel the best teddy bear. His legs are long, but his torso is stout with strapping abs.
Personality: Nathaniel's personality isn't the most perfect. He tries to be liked by everyone, but gets caught into lies and trouble often. It's not that Nathaniel doesn't mean everything he says, but he often finds himself agreeing with gossip, just to feel and be accepted, when really he disagrees. It's part of his teddy bear personality. He can't be mean. He's too sweet.
Ever since Nathaniel was a kid, he's had a rough life, and knew that he didn't want his life to stay that way. Hogwarts was the best choice he had ever made. It's opened up multiple possibilities to his life and hopes to become a Ministry of Magic Services Counselor. With this, he hopes to use his magic to the utmost ability to help the ones in the wizarding world that have a higher need for help. He cares about people far more than anyone else.
Nathaniel is a very strong person. Inside and out, whether it be emotionally, or physically. He doesn't have many fears, but comically his biggest is spiders, or any insect of sorts. His emotions can run wild when he gets too worked up, and he never knows when he will burst, because mostly, all his anger is bottled up inside because of his want to be accepted, which he usually is successfully at.
Nathaniel also worries too much about arrogance. He hates arrogance to begin with, so he tries in every way to avoid it in himself. Once in awhile he'll catch himself being stupid, but will catch himself in the midst of the arrogance, and stop.
Nathaniel's favorite class is potions, mostly because it's the biggest challenge for him. This is the class that he has the most work in and wants to be the best. His next best class is Charms, next to Defense Against the Dark Arts. Nathaniel has almost given up all hope on Transfiguration, only because whenever he tries, he usually transforms himself. The professor says it's some Bio-nuclear wand mix up, but Nathaniel thinks it just his inability to think about what he's doing when the professor shouts at him every minute or so.

History:
Nathaniel grew up in a standard house hold. That is, until he was about ten. When Nathaniel was four, his mother, Bellany, gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, Eliza. His father, Troy was a very conservative man. Always thinking about his bloodline. When the family discovered that Eliza was a squib, it changed their lives completely.
Troy left Bellany, sickened by the thing they had created. He believed that it couldn't have came from his blood line, so he left her. Sent into a tundra of gloom, Bellany lost hope for her life, and stopped using magic.
Nathaniel objected of course, but his mother had no reply. She left with Eliza and disappeared. Nathaniel had nowhere to go, because he wouldn't give up on the wizarding world like his sorrowful mother. Thrown into an orphanage for boys, he was left alone, and unwanted.
Living in the orphanage wasn't all bad for Nathaniel. He became friends with the muggle care taker and found that there is good in every being. The care taker, Mrs. Beswick, cared for Nathaniel more than any other boy. He lived in the orphange for a year before he got his Hogwarts letter. This is when he finally could tap back into the wizarding world.
Sample Post:
The cold winter air licked the icicles forming on Nathaniel's nose. The lake was reflecting the thick moon light that was shattering the dark haven Nathaniel called home. Putting his hand in his pocket, he reached for his wand and pulled it out in front of his precious eyes.
"Where did the time go?" he whispered to himself, and drew the thin beechwood in front of him. "Serentimo" he muttered, and drew a circle with his wand, a little spell he created while he was in his fourth year.
The circle that he had drew was now illuminating a picture of his mother and Eliza, his baby sister. Floating in front of the bright, massive moon, the picture took a turn and started playing a sad scene. His mother was crying in the bay window of his old home, and Eliza ran up to comfort her.
He couldn't take it. Tears fell down his cheeks like rain. He pulled his arm to his nose and wiped away the moist crystals. Why did he always have to do that to himself? Make himself saddened by the past. The past was gone, and all he had was his feature.
There was a quiet rustling in the deep, white snow behind him, and he turned. It was James. Nathaniel quickly wiped away the last of his tears and turned his head back to wards the ice, as James wandered to his side. With a swish of his wrist, he wafted the past away, and he and James went back up to the dormitory.
