Basic Information Full Name: Draco Malfoy Nickname: Don't be silly Age // Birthdate: 18 // 5th June 1980 Blood: Pureblood Wand: 10'', Hawthorn Wood, Unicorn hair core Hogwarts House // Year of graduation Slytherin, technically 1998 Appearance General: Reasonably tall and not exactly scrawny, Draco still strikes a rather impressive figure at first glance, though the rather cocksure way of holding himself that carried him confidently through his time at school has been replaced with a rather shrouded, compact demeanor. He frequently has dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. He still likes to wear his robes and isn't quite convinced on muggle attire. PB: Boyd Holbrook Personality General: Draco is a very private person. Of course he hasn't always been secretive about himself, but since his time working on the vanishing cabinet and the necessary secrecy surrounding his work with the Dark Lord, Draco has almost habitually been wary of sharing his thoughts or feelings with anyone. Some might take it that he just doesn't trust anyone to understand his 'important business', but it actually stems from not wanting people involved in business so as not to tar them with the same brush as himself. He had initially closed himself off out of fear that his reluctance and terror in performing his task would get back to his master, but now it is apparent that Draco simply has a lot of trust issues, not knowing what people feel about him personally. It isn't something he has ever addressed or asked anyone he previously associated with about, and he wouldn't believe anything they said, anyway. Draco lives in a strange fear of a stigma being attached to his name, fear of being rejected for his previous family ties. He has no proof on which to base this paranoia, but it's a self-perpetuating cycle. He probably has some degree of PTSD, but like most things, that isn't something Draco is going to admit to or look in to. Draco is still very close to his mother and remains at his childhood home with her. His father is in Azkaban and will probably never be released, having taken full responsibility for his wife and son being involved with Voldemort. Draco tries his best to never mention his father. Likes: Complicated potions, his mum, flying, reading dirty old books, chess, sometimes Pansy, nearly always Theodore, obsessing over Harry Potter Dislikes: Muggle music, most people, nearly always Pansy, crowded rooms, talking about his father, fire, obsessing over Harry Potter Hobbies: Reading. Being a social recluse. Obsessing over Harry Potter. History Childhood: Draco is an only child, a spoilt little beast from the moment he was born. His mother doted on him, his father raised him as his heir and pushed upon him the ideals he held so dear. Draco was sure he could do no wrong, convinced that his name would command him respect wherever he went, which proved reasonably accurate up until he went to school and that bloody Potter waltzed into his life. The bane of his existence for six years, Draco's dislike of Harry began to stem more from annoyance and jealousy than from what his father had raised him to believe about The Boy Who Lived. Though he had more often than not lay in bed plotting Harry's downfall, the fantasies certainly didn't live up to the reality of what his father and the Dark Lord had in store for him. Fear more than loyalty to the cause drove Draco to complete his mission, fear more than belief kept him from telling anyone about his task, and even the prime opportunity of begging for help and safety when bloody Potter found him crying in the bathroom was pushed away for fear. Malfoy's didn't beg. Even for their lives. Draco was a coward, but even if he was safe his mum would have been in the firing line, to punish him. He knew so very well how it all worked. Draco didn't graduate from Hogwarts. He spent his last year with his father and Voldemort, frightened and isolated from his friends and peers. But during his school career Draco was always a very good student, even if he wasn't going to make it look like he was trying. His parents had raised him to be a perfect little pureblood, after all, and no pureblood is poor at magic! Adulthood: Miscellaneous List three random facts about your character: 1. Draco has an (almost completely) unfounded idea that everyone he meets is still judging him on the boy he was in school. He's convinced that everyone sees him as a Death Eater and simply tolerate his presence because he wasn't put away. So he doesn't go out much, or spend time with people, preferring to keep to himself and avoid the judging glares of his peers. 2. He doesn't like to open up about his feelings or anything deeper. His biggest secret is his concern about his sexuality. He wouldn't want to say it out loud, and doesn't think he will ever say it out loud, but from his time in school Draco has always rather liked boys. Not exclusively, but somewhat. 3. To this day, Draco still finds himself OOC Name: D Age: 28 Contact: this.is.signalfire@gmail.com Timezone: GMT Plot Ideas: Give an idea of the kind of plots you're hoping for for your character. |
