The Character
Name: Ian Snyder
Nicknames (if any): None.
Year: 6th
House: Ravenclaw
Blood: Pure
Wand: Dragon Heartstring
Cedar
11 Inches
Personality:
Ian acts as though he's on the out skirts of society, as if he has something to stand up against. On the rare occasion that he shows up for class he has a tendency to get his professors off track, ending the lecture on a topic that is most foul. Surprisingly enough however, he gets straight O's (outstanding) on his report card. He has a lifetime of knowledge in that brain of his, but his disrespect for authority figures, so says his professors, might keep him from graduating with the rest of his class. Why on Earth should he have to take a course that he could finish blindfolded within the first marking period? He'll never understand it, and so, he skips class on a weekly basis and has a friend sneak an extra copy. Or, if that friend is unable to give him the notes and homework assignment, he'd contact his professor and make a prediction. That he will be able to finish said assignments twice as well as anyone that had bothered actually attending his/her class. This gets most of his professors in an uproar, let me tell you. They sometimes find it painful to have to mark his papers with high grades that they feel he hasn't earned.
His personality varies depending on the people he's with. He'll be rude and disruptive to an authority figure, as I mentioned before, but when it comes to friends, he's a complete goof. If he likes you, anyway. Ian will judge you as soon as you make eye contact, and if he doesn't like what he sees, be prepared to back off. Besides that, he spends most of his time sneaking into The Forbidden Forest for some time to himself. It's the only way he can manage to get some peace and quite around the castle, even if it is a bit dangerous. Oh, and one of the many reasons peace and quiet doesn't come so easily for Mr. Snyder.. Two words; fan girls.
He couldn't tell you why girls tend to be so attracted to him, but he uses mock self confidence when it comes to explaining this to his guy friends. Ian doesn't find himself attractive, in fact, it's not something he worries much about. One thing he'll never be able to understand; the female mind. Oh, what a mystery.
Appearance:
As I've just mentioned, Ian doesn't think so highly of himself when it comes to his outward appearance. Girls however, that's another story. He has messy black hair that usually doesn't live to see the day it's not brushed through with a mess of hair gel. It's getting quite long, but he doesn't see why he should cut it. Impressing others isn't on his list of priorities, one could say. His skin is quite pale and he probably couldn't get a tan if he tried, regardless of what others think. Ian drinking bats blood and living in the dungeons? Totally a rumor. Ok, not the dungeons bit, but come on! It's where the common room is for crying out loud.
His teeth are a nice pearly white and he has one piercing, his lip ring (which he refuses to take out). His mother yells at him constantly because of it, but that's not going to stop him. He did it himself, bored out of his mind and stuck in a room with that menacing needle and candle. He did his piercing the old fashion way, using something he picked up on in a muggle book. Other than that, he has a rather poetic feeling about him. Being fairly tall (6 ft even), he looms over most of the female population. You'll never find him without that infamous smirk of his.
History:
Ian grew up in Scotland, believe it or not, an only child to Elizabeth and Katherine Snyder. Yes, his parents are lesbians, but it doesn't faze him in the least. It actually gives him a clearer, more logical outlook when it comes to other people. However, this becomes hypocritical when he shows his disrespect for mudbloods. His parents managed to mesh well with society, proving that they had as much intelligence and integrity as any other upstanding citizen. They're very wealthy, owning a massive estate with about two hundred acres of land and a nice creek flowing right through the middle.
They moved to England when Ian turned 11, and by the end of that year he had received his letter to Hogwarts. His parents (being proud as ever) immediately accepted the offer and went right into his studying. Not the kind with books, either. Ian was to study in a more spiritual sense, which basically means his parents are hippies. Pure hippies, mind you. His mother (Elizabeth) owns a tea shop smack dab in the middle of London and his other mother (Katherine) has a job in politics.
