NAME: lysander xenophilius scamander
AGE: 16
HOUSE: ravenclaw
BLOOD STATUS: pureblood
WAND: 11" ebony with unicorn hair core------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY-BY: mitch hewer
GENERAL APPEARANCE: to be absolutely frank, lysander doesn't give a shit. he rolls out of bed every morning and really doesn't do much outside that to aide in his appearance outside of dental hygiene. his blond locks are often in front of his face and messily thrown about, but on the rare formal moment he doesn't hesitate to use a bit of mousse and a hairbrush to give it a quiff. as far as his clothing choices go, it's just a simple jeans and teeshirt usually, along with some sneakers. lysander never was extremely fussy with what he wore. he just knew when it was acceptable to be casual and when it wasn't. he has slightly slanted eyes which often are deep blue, but in the right light may be seen as a lighter shade. the area which he seems most insecure about is his nose, because he doesn't think it fits the rest of his face very well.------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
LIKES: the quibbler, reading, muggle studies, people watching, affection, going on dates
DISLIKES: potions, being judged, being away from lorcan, veggies, thunderstorms,hearing yelling
GOALS: make his father proud
FEARS: loud noises
PERSONALITY: Lysander without a doubt takes after his mother's side of the family. While he doesn't mean to be an airhead, he often can space out for intervals of five minutes or so. He has a very gentle disposition and often can perceive things very objectively, and as a result gives some of the best advice possible in situations. His observational skills also extend to being able to really study the emotions of people, as well as their reactions and how they take in information. For lack of a better word "people-watching" is his best sport. Very few approached him because of his strange way of taking in information, but for the lucky few that do he is a true friend and always there until the end.
To his friends and to those close to him, Lysander shows his true colors. He can be outgoing and affectionate, cuddling anyone that he thinks needs the love at that given moment. Often, he greets with kisses and hugs, and isn't exclusive to either gender when doing so. To him, people are just people, and as a result need to be treated well regardless of who they are. He very rarely becomes upset with people, having an extremely long fuse which takes a while to be ignited in the first place. When he does get mad, it is not an explosion. It is more of a smolder. He will become extremely passive aggressive, and then ignore the person all together until he feels they redeem themselves.------------------------------------------------------------------

CLOSE FAMILY:
Lorcan Scamander - Brother
Rolf Scamander - Father
Luna Scamander (ne Lovegood)- Mother
HISTORY:
Lysander's early years were probably those which defined his whole personality. From early on it was clear that Lysander was a mommy's pet, often wanting to spend more time with her than with his father. He was a relatively peaceful baby, only crying when something really was wrong. The biggest issue was acid-reflux, but after a switch of baby formula it wasn't much of a problem for the family anymore. He reached all his milestones at the right time, and really was never much of a bother anytime else. During his summers he would spend time with his namesake, who exposed him to various tales and rumors which his mother proved equally fascinated with. Believe it or not, he learned how to read via the Quibbler. Soon enough he was just a carbon copy of his mother and his grandfather - not like either of them would complain much.
Then at the age of 11 school began and Lysander clung to his brother desperately in order to not be left behind in the huge school. It was lucky for the both of them that they got into the same house as well, and they were joined at the hip for the most part, and Lysander found himself having difficulty in most subjects (if not all.) Of course this caused a hell of a lot of stress, and he soon got a tutor to help him out. As a result, the twins became much more separated, and while they were often sitting together, they wouldn't be completely joined at the hip anymore. It was healthier for the both of them.
In the more recent years things have picked up swimmingly. Lysander developed his own circle of friends, and came out as openly pansexual to all of them. He even had a few girlfriends along the way, whom he cherished greatly. He also found the right subjects for him to focus in on. While he is weak in potions and transfiguation, he does extremely well in arithmancy and muggle studies. His hope is to become an arithmancer or to work for his grandfather on the family magazine.------------------------------------------------------------------
