Short Bio:
Nikolai's platinum blond hair is a testament to his solid Russian roots though his family. He owns several cats at home and one of them, a Russian Blue named Zephyr, he brings with him to school.
Generally well-liked, he's considered a bit prattish at times due to his upbringing and is sometimes teased for his more-than-obvious Russian heritage. He's honest, intelligent, and has a razor-sharp tongue and wit when provoked. He's neither shy nor outgoing, but isn't afraid to speak his mind.
He has a very logical mind - "coldly" logical at times - and for some reason, is excellent at anything that requires the working with numbers. For this, he excels at Arithmancy, yet fails miserably at Divination.
He enjoys Quidditch, but doesn't play on the team because of a health concern that has sent him to the infirmary every term the flu season hits. He does however, regularly practice Calisthenics, a form of gymnastics that helps keep the body toned while being low-impact. He's physically fit and agile, and if anyone could squeeze into tight spaces, it's him, though he
HATES enclosed spaces.
His family line have been strong defenders against the Dark Arts, though several generations back, his family line was just the opposite. This is a fact he acknowledges and it has caused him worry that perhaps there's a dark side within himself as well. Thus, DADA is a weakness for him and is certainly something he needs to work on.
Up until his fourth year, he has been doing very well, but as classes become more difficult and the tone of school becomes more serious, he has to face up to his challenges and make amends with his internal conflict.
