How did you hear about this site: Top Sites.
Any other Comments: I can not decide between Defense Against The Dark Arts for which class my character would student teach in. Maybe you could talk to both professors and see which one would prefer an assistant teacher. Or pick a class based on my character's personality? Because I'm so undecisive, lol.

Personality:
Gabe is a lively, energetic young man. He is barely an adult, just 21 years old. Anyone can see he still a child at heart. He has always been an eager learner, wanting to know anything and everything he could since he was a young boy. He was curious and this often got him into trouble. This is one of many reasons he chose to become a teacher. Not only does he like kids, but he wants to help them and wants to share what he knows. Afterall, children are the future of the world, they say.
Gabe is friendly and outgoing and has ways of making the most tiresome activites a little more interesting and fun. He has a very quirky sense of humor and can easily make others laugh and smile. His own smile is contagious and infectious. He is also a good listener and tries his best to understand everyone. But the other part of being a good listener, is giving others the chance to put out their opinions and thoughts. Gabe is always open to hearing what someone else has to say. He himself always speaks his mind. Many times, you may not want to hear what he has to say, but he will always speak his mind.
Gabe knows when to put his foot down, though. He may let you get away with something once in a while, but he is not afraid to hand out detentions and put you in your place. He understands he can not make everyone happy and is ready for students, as well as fellow teachers, to decide whether they like him or dislike him. He just cares about doing his job the best way he can.

As for his facial structure, his cheekbones are very strong and defined which is one of his handsome features. His skin color is an olive color, due to his nationality.
Gabe reaches a height of about 5'11, making him not too tall, yet not too short. As for his build, he is slim but muscular. Gabe sometimes has facial hair, usually scrubbly goatee. Without the facial hair, he often looks younger. Clothing wise, when working, usually nice jeans and a button up shirt with a tie. Out of work, he is low maintence and just prefers jeans and a tee-shirt.
History:
Gabe was born in Cantebury. Both his parents are full-blooded witch and wizard. His father was named James Hartman, and ran a Quidditch supply shop in their community. Gabe's mother, Katherine Havon, worked as a nurse at Malady's. They were married at the young age of 21 and had their first child a year later. This was Gabe's older sister, Arianna. She is older by 2 years. Next was Gabe. A year after him came his younger brother, Carter.
Growing up, Gabe led as normal a life as any wizarding child could. He went to a normal muggle school outside their community yet most of his friends were of the magical kind. He shared a close bond with his father, being the eldest of the two boys. They would often take outings together and his father took the time to teach all the children Quidditch. Gabe is still very fond of the sport and enjoys playing it whenever he gets a chance.
When Gabe was 11 years old, his father was diagnosed with a rare type of cancer. Even in the magical world, cancer has no cure. It is a disease that slowly wears you out. Gabe spent the last years of his father's life making him as happy as possible. Instead of being angry, his father was often amused and proud of Gabe's curiousity and was the one who suggested he become a teacher. And when his father passed away 5 years later, Gabe decided to do just that.
He continued his education after his 7 years at Hogwarts. He went to a wizarding academy for teachers and is nearly graduated. He is in his last year, and therefore, has to assist one professor in a chosen interest field. Gabe chose to teach at Hogwarts. Not only did he attend here himself, but he knew many of the professors from his time there. It was like going back to school all over again.
