Alexander Salazar Greingoth III
+Birthday: March 17th, 2062
+Hair: Just shy of shoulder length, brown and wavy
+Eyes: Brown
+Build: Rather tall for his age and skinny
+Height: 6'0" (and hopefully stopping there!)
+House: Hufflepuff what up!
+Favorite Classes: Care of Magical Creatures and Herbology
+Classes he's not too fond of: Potions and Ancient Runes
Personality:
Alex isn't much of a daredevil, which can sometimes make him seem unsocial. He is, in fact, quite the opposite--he loves talking to people and making new friends, he just likes to do it in a safe, non embarrassing manner! However, every once in a while he may be swayed into doing something...he tends to be too trusting at times which can get him in trouble. Another thing that might get him into trouble? Sarcasm, which is especially a problem when he's dealing with his sister!
He also likes to read a lot, just to learn random knowledge--in fact, he's like a walking encyclopedia at times, and knows a bunch of useless, pointless facts that almost no one would ever need to know. Don't let that fool you into thinking he ENJOYS school, however. He needs to force himself to do schoolwork most of the time (especially when it comes to Ancient Runes!) and would much rather be observing Hippogriffs than writing about them.
When it comes to being social, Alex is friendly to just about everyone, and usually won't be mean unless that person did something to him to warrant that kind of behavior. He tends to forgive pretty quickly though (again, going back to that too trusting thing).
Some likes:
+Watching Quidditch. Forget ever getting him on a broom, but he LOVES to watch the game and support his team. His favorite professional team is the Wimbourne Wasps
+Drawing and sketching things. He's particularly good at drawing pictures of magical creatures
+Muggle television. It's so addiciting!
+Music. Muggle rock, wizard rock, it doesn't matter...if it's rockin', he'll be listening to it!
+Being outdoors (unless its cold and snowy out)
+Christmas!!! (although again, being inside during Christmas and not out in the cold)
Some dislikes:
+When Sierra pulls pranks on him
+Rude people. Is it really that hard to be nice and polite?
+Sunflowers. They make him sneeze.
+ Being the ONLY Badger in the family
+His middle name
+Cold weather
Some fears:
+FLYING
+Frogs. Something about the way they stare at you and their long, weird looking legs (which some people EAT by the way, gross!) just irks him
+Dementors. If he ever had to face one, he'd probably faint before he had a chance to even THINK of performing the patronus charm.
+Blood. He's just a tad squimish. Another reason he's not big on actually PLAYING Quidditch
+Snakes. Yet another reason he shouldn't be in Slytherin.
+Getting burnt. Some of his most terrifying memories of his childhood included dropping chicken soup on his hand, burning his arm trying to take pizza out of the oven...you get the picture.
+Sierra
History
Alexander Salazar Greingoth has always been the cautious one in the Geingoth family. He was born on March 17th, just 4 minutes before his sister Sierra, something he tries (and fails) to throw in her face sometimes. He was always rather hyper as a child when he was playing with his sister and neighborhood friends, but numerous clumsy accidents caused him to become rather timid and shy out of fear of hurting himself. All those years of scraping his knees and falling out of trees conditioned him to be a rather cautious fellow, but that's not really a bad thing, right?
Like many pureblood wizards, Alex and Sierra were both homeschooled during their early childhood, rather than being sent to public Muggle school. Alex didn't really mind it at all...he found it rather enjoyable to be able to study math in his living room with the family dog at his side. While his sister longed for the company of lots of students, Alex convinced himself that there would be plenty of time to make friends when he got to Hogwarts, and was totally content playing with the kids who lived down the street. He also liked playing with Anna, his older sister, until she went off to school and got sorted into Gryffindor
Ever since Alex can remember, he wanted to be in Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Gryffindor...anywhere BUT Slytherin. Not that he didn't like snakes, he just liked the other houses better--plus he really didn't think he could survive with all those cunning and scary people. Still there was lots of pressure from the family to be in Slytherin or Gryffindor (he was even named after one of the founders for Merlin's sake!), just like everyone else in his family, making his desire to possibly be--gasp, HUFFLEPUFF!--a rather strange thing.
Tensions arose last year when Sierra and Alex's parents went through a divorce, and the children were forced to decide who they would live with. Naturally, Sierra chose to live with Alexander (their father) while Alex stayed behind to live with their mother Bella. Many arguments escalated between the twins until it was to the point where neither of them were speaking to each other, but with the help of Professor Lafay, they made amends and are back on good terms (for them, at least).
During his third year at Hogwarts, Alex went through some tough times. Once he finally got used to the idea of having divorced parents, he was introduced to the man who was REALLY his father - Paul DeSautel. Paul was much more similar to Alex than Alexander II had ever been, and Alex felt comforted with the fact that there was finally an explanation as to why he'd always felt so out of place around his father. Sadly, shortly after he met his birth father, his mother Bella passed away, and rather than move in with his new father, he chose to live with his older sister Anna and her husband Cale, where he helped take care of their young children over the summer in exchange for a place to stay.
Despite all the recent struggles he's gone through, Alex has a very positive outlook on the future and hopes to form a relationship with his father so that he may some day feel comfortable living with him. He feels more in touch with his real self after meeting his real father and seeing all the personality traits they have in common. After the awful tragedy of losing his mother, he knows that things can only go up from here and is ecstatic to start his fifth year at Hogwarts.
Random Facts:
+Alex has lots of scars, surprise surprise.
+His favorite meal of the day is breakfast. MMMMM scrambled eggs and bacon!
+One of his secret wishes is to own a Clabbert at some point in his life
+He's terrified of riding brooms because of an unfortunate toy broom accident when he was 8 that resulted in a few broken bones. He's getting better at it though!
