------------------------------------------------------------------
NAME: julian giles beaufort
AGE: 17
HOUSE: gryffindor
BLOOD STATUS: mixed - 1/4 veela
WAND: 11' pear wood unicorn hair core------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
PLAY-BY: hunter parrish
GENERAL APPEARANCE: despite being a quarter veela, julian is a pretty nonchalant guy about his dressing and his appearance. he does all he's supposed to do, like brush his teeth, shower, put on deodorant and cologne, but once you get into the prospect of manscaping and shaping eyebrows, he's no ryder bletchley. he's a firm believer that a tie dresses up every outfit possible, and unless there's a school dance, his idea of going all out is wearing a casual button down with a slim tie. basically, he's a salt of the earth man in every sense of the word. sometimes he'll be too lazy to shave, or he left his work to the last minute and didn't shave out of lack of time to, as a result, it's common to see him walking around with light chin stubble or a full out 5 o' clock shadow. for formal events like dances though, he finds no issue in renting a tux and gelling his hair (as much as it makes him extremely uncomfortable.)------------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------------
LIKES: sports, muggle video games, the daily prophet, cuddling, ice cream, helping people out
DISLIKES: herbology, rejection, seeing people mistreated, passive people, anything with raisins, pigmy puffs
GOALS: work for the daily prophet or become a chef full time
FEARS: pigmy puffs, water (more swimming)
PERSONALITY:
julian is a man's man, very salt of the earth and genuinely just one of those "nice guys" that people overlook until he's not in their life anymore. he'll do anything and everything for the person he loves, and is a devoted lover and friend. he's very prone to stick up for what he believes in and has no problem voicing his opinions to other people even if they hadn't asked what he thought of it ahead of time. basically he just wants to look out for those who he loves - and his siblings suffer somewhat because of it. he got so protective their first year that he walked them personally to all of their classes, even when they had gotten used to the layout of the school. julian is also extremely creative, often taking the leftovers from his dinners at home and turning them to a completely new meal. usually, his friends joke that he'd be the most healthy hobo ever to exist.
on a more negative road, the voicing of his opinions are also extremely honest. julian has no issues with just telling someone what he thinks, no matter how hurtful the piece of information may be to the person. in the long run, he believes that being blunt with opinions is better than leading the person on with false hope. he's known to step on toes with his protective nature as well, which does cause friction with his little siblings at some points, not to mention that he does that with friends he loves and especially the people he has romantic interest in. it's just part of him that he feels the need to be everyone's father or the hero - which was probably why he got sorted into the house she was in the first place. finally, julian is extremely stubborn, a trait he received from his late father. he tries to watch himself, but once he gets riled up it's near impossible to cool him down until he voices his frustration.------------------------------------------------------------------

CLOSE FAMILY:
Jaques Beaufort - Father - Deceased
Leanne Beaufort - Mother - 48
Thomas Beaufort - Brother - 16
Luc Beaufort - Brother - 16
Anna Rose Beaufort - Sister - 16
HISTORY:
French born, Julian had a relatively spoiled early life. While his family wasn't the most wealthy in the world they provided enough to have all the needs and a few of the wants that Julian may have wanted. So though their Christmas tree wasn't completely overflowing, there were quite a few presents for the young lion and his siblings to open in the morning. Julian often spent most (if not all) of his time with his father out of choice, emulating him down to applying shaving cream and wiping it off with a "razor" which was really his mother's hair clip. He even tried sneaking on his father's work trips by hiding in his luggage cases. It was then that the blond decided he would travel around reporting on events just like his father. The three year old would walk around Diagon Alley with his mother carrying a scribbling pad and a pencil, asking people around him about fake stories with a cheeky grin as he "wrote" (though he didn't know how to just yet.)
However when he was seven years old his life changed drastically. On a family trip white-water rafting, Jaques, Thomas, and Julian went on a boat by themselves. After one large wave and a rough turn, the raft got knocked over and Julian managed to grab his little brother and grasp a strong branch to the side. Unfortunately, their father wasn't as lucky and he had passed away in the struggle. While Julian grieved privately, he soon took over the role of man of the house (as best a seven year old could.) Mostly, he just made sure his little siblings were safe at all times, and if they weren't he would make it so they would.
Since then he has gone through his years at school and discovered his love for a few subjects, though none really spark his interest as much as working for the school paper and cooking do. While he does enjoy quidditch it was soon evident that he wasn't too skilled as a player, so he began writing the sports column in the paper to still get his fix. Another development was a longstanding crush on his best friend Autumn, and as much as he warns her about her boyfriend's relationship, or wanting of one, with an ex, he stands powerless to actually do anything about it.------------------------------------------------------------------
