The Character
Name: Linus Wells
Nicknames (if any): Li, pronounced -Lie-.
Job Title: Portrait Painter
Age: 22
Blood: Pureblood / Squib
Wand: Worthless.
Personality: Bitter. All his life, Linus has tried to perform magic but has never succeeded. With three sisters who can all cast perfect spells, and even a younger brother who is only four years old that is showing signs of wizardry, his feelings are understandable.
Though a clever boy, Linus never pursued anything in life other than magic -- which is the one thing he will never obtain.
Many believe Linus lacks a sense of humor, as he barely ever cracks a grin... and when he does, it's usually half a grimace anyway. Scowling and snarling are more his style.
Appearance: He is very clean looking. Though he cannot perform magic, he still wears traditional Wizard clothing. With dark hair and eerily clear eyes, he is handsome yet there is no warmth in his demeanor.
History: Linus had never given up on the fact that he could one day do magic. His one goal in life is to become the full-fledged wizard like the rest of his family, and he has tried many methods -- not all of them morally right -- to reach that aim.
It was when rumor of a treasure in Hogwarts spread throughout his home village that he soon captured interest in the school. As he was making minimal wages as a portrait painter in Diagon Alley, he used this title to find a job at Hogwarts to fix, and paint portraits of all kinds.
The only reason his interest was peaked to such an extent was because rumor said the treasure had the ability to give him magical abilities, and reverse him from being a squib into being a wizard.
He will do anything possible to get his hands on such a treasure.
