The Roleplayer
Name/Alias: Alice Rubian
Age: 19
Location: Seattle
How did you hear about this site: Recommended on a message board.
The Character
Name: Neil Dowd
Nicknames (if any): N/A
Year: Forth
House: Gryffindor
Blood: Muggleborn
Wand: Seven Inches, Springy, Willow with Unicorn hair core.
Personality:
Despite his good up-bringing, all backfired once Neil became a teenager and turned sullen and belligerent. His three previous years at Hogwarts have done little to change this, only driving Neil further away from the other students and into his books. He is deeply annoyed by the vast majority of other students and forms little connection with authority figures around him. He wonders why he was made a Gryffindor, but does not dwell to heavily on that question. He wishes only to learn enough magic to be able to make his own way in the world and get out of school without losing too much of his sanity.
Appearance: Played by celebrity Paul Dano.
History: Neil's parents were quite surprised when he received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts, though only because of the magic part. As for being specially gifted, that came as no surprise at all. They had always been quite sure of their little boy's talent and pushed him forward just the right amount, while simultaneously nurturing him and letting him spread his own wings. They were what could only be called perfect parents, their financial status as a professional chef and restaurateur being secure enough that Neil was at once given everything he needed and most of what he wanted, but also never spoiled. He was exposed to his culture -- Norwegian Eskimo -- and Christianity, but never smothered by either. By all accounts, he was raised wonderfully, and never suffered a traumatic day in his life beyond the normal mishaps of childhood.
