The Character
Name: Roderick Richter
Nicknames (if any): Rick
Age & Year: 16 6th year
Blood: Pureblood
Wand: 16 inches, Alder, dragon heart-string core
Personality: Roderick is a strong-willed young man, determined to recieve what he wants in anyway possible. He is, however, intutitive of ofther's feelings, and has a good sense of who a person really is within minutes of meeting them. He is known to be harshly honest, and has found himself on people's bad sides for it many times. His humor can be at times offensive, but nonetheless humorous, though at the expense of a peer or professor.
He has no problem understanding complicated things, and is greatly interested in history and literature, as well as study of magical practices. He is atheltic, but studious, kind, yet not afraid to point out negative things. He is snide to those he believes are incompetent or ask too many stupid questions, for he always understands things quickly. He does not like working in groups, because he does not trust others to be at his level of perfection.
Though he does have annoying qualities, his quiet and confident demeanor flocks all manner of friends to him, and he has found himself in the thick of the popular crowd at Hogwarts. He does have his fair share of enemies though, and usually eggs them on and slams them down with sharp and cold insults to their lack of restraint. This said, Roderick is no stranger to detention due to the occasional duel.
Appearance: Roderick is very tall, 6'2, and athletically built at a weight of 160. He has piercing blue eyes, and thick blonde hair that is cut short. He dresses comfortably under his school robes, and sometimes wears his glasses, which give him a very studious look.
History: Roderick Richter was born to a very German family in the heart of London. His mother and father, Haley and Rupert, were both reporters for the Daily Prophet. Being reporters, Haley and Rupert both spent a bit more time at home than at work, and Roderick was more than happy to spend the extra time with them. Five years after Roderick was born, his only sibling, a sister named Rose.
His sister and he were very close, always wanting to do things together. They were more attatched to eachother than they were to their parents. They had a special bond that nobody could break, and their parents were delighted to see their children be so close.
When Roderick recieved his Hogwarts letter, he was not the only person that was upset. Rose had firmly stated that she did not want him to go, and Roderick insisted that he not go too. But his parents adamantly stated that he needed to go to recieve his magical education.
His first year as a Ravenclaw was one of the most memorable of his life. He fell in love with all of his classes, and found himself with more friends than he knew what to do with. He made sure to send weekly letters home, letting his family know that he was doing fine and that he missed them terribly.
After that, his years went by quickly, and it seemed as if they repeated themselves, just with harder material. His fifth year was the only one that stood out, seeing as he had his O.W.L.s and they were very important to his future. He studied hard, and being a Ravenclaw, naturally came away with all Os and one E in Divination.
Roderick was very excited to return to Hogwarts for his sixth year, for Rose will now be starting her first year, and he hopes that she will have the makings of a Ravenclaw just as he did.
