Personality:
Jordan has a lack of understanding for social boundaries and a tendency to do or say whatever is on his mind without fear or expectation of consequence; this is frequently mistaken for confidence. He is very literal, honest, and gets incredibly upset about dishonesty and cheating. Has an incredibly short fuse, but also tends to calm down very suddenly too; his emotions are generally very intense but never long-lasting, and he can't be bothered with holding grudges unless someone has seriously wronged him. He doesn't really concern himself with what other people are doing (and likewise does not ever worry about what other people think of his own actions). Jordan doesn't think very deeply about his own feelings, emotions, memories, or about his life in general, preferring to devote his time to his interests. This means it's usually a great shock to him when things build up inside him and overwhelm him.

Jordan has a lot of idiosyncrasies that make him seem a little peculiar to some people. He likes numbers, making maps of significant places, counting things, lining things up, and reorganising his possessions over and over again until he's satisfied. He has pervasive developmental disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, and also received a frontal lobe brain injury when he was very young which has continued to affect him throughout his life.

Personal History:
Reagan Bellamy and Tancred Flint had been in a non-serious relationship since their Hogwarts days. Reagan had fallen in love with Tancred despite their agreement to keep things casual, but Tancred was uninterested in pursuing anything further because he was a pureblood wizard who wanted and was expected to marry and have children with a pureblood witch, whereas Reagan was a half-blood. When Reagan fell pregnant with Tancred's baby she kept it a secret from him, hoping to present him with his child once he was born and persuade him to marry her.

Jordan was born on 8th October 2080, but when Reagan finally told Tancred that he had a son, Tancred was unmoved and, far from deciding to marry her, cut all ties with her. Lumbered with a baby she didn't want or love, Reagan gave up Jordan and disappeared. Tancred reluctantly took Jordan in under pressure from social services, but had no love for his child either, especially considering he was not a pureblood. After four years of unhappiness and ill-treatment at the hands of his father, Jordan was taken into care and Tancred, who was also found to be guilty of crimes unrelated to his son, was eventually sent to Azkaban.

At first, Jordan was sent to live with a foster family, in the hopes that he would have a decent chance at adoption due to his young age. However, he couldn't adjust or cope in the family environment, and after six months was moved to a different placement. This placement, too, seemed doomed to fail from the start, due to Jordan's heightened stress levels and his emerging behavioural issues. However, his case worker did her research and came to the conclusion that perhaps he would be better able to cope in a group home rather than a family with stand-in parents. As it happened, a new children's home was due to be opened that same summer, and Jordan's case worker applied for a bed for a full-time resident at Stemp House on Jordan's behalf. He was accepted at once, and moved in on opening day.

Life at Stemp House was a lot easier to manage, as Jordan's personality and individual needs were better suited to the routine and set-up of a group home rather than an intimate family setting. Though he still had his problems, Jordan thrived at Stemp House and coped better than anyone had expected. The staff cared for Jordan and the other children exceptionally well, and Jordan quickly decided that Stemp House was a place of safety and security. When he reached primary school age, he, like the other residents, was privately educated by brought-in tutors in preparation for Hogwarts. The staff and his case worker also worked to help prepare him for the big upheaval that would come with attending a boarding school.

When Jordan started his first year at Hogwarts, he was sorted into Ravenclaw house (though the hat dithered for a while over Gryffindor). Despite all of the preparation, Jordan's issues with change made it very difficult to adjust to the new environment of Hogwarts, but once he settled, he was fine. He made friends (like Andi Rourke and Soraya Santos) and enemies (one in particular, James Summers), and frequently found himself in physical altercations with the latter. In his first year, he accidentally-on-purpose almost killed James by throwing him overboard while they were on the ship 'Merlin's Pride' - turned out James couldn't swim and almost drowned. No repercussions came from this, mostly because none of the professors ever found out, but Jordan was no stranger to trouble at school, frequently finding himself in detention or getting suspended across all seven school years.

Jordan's grades at school weren't great - he often struggled academically, partly because of his lingering brain issues, and the large class sizes meant he often slipped through the cracks. He was homeschooled for the majority of his fifth year, however, and, because of the more devoted attention, started to do slightly better and even scraped a few OWLs. By seventh year, however, his confidence in his abilities had hugely dwindled, and he didn't expect to do very well at all. Though he stayed at Hogwarts in order to be near his few friends for one more year, Jordan did not attend any of his NEWT exams and left Hogwarts without his seventh year qualifications.
