Bran is a pretty happy go lucky kid, even with his condition. It was his accident that taught him that life is too short to go around being overly shy, so Bran became a bit of an extrovert. It was his way of getting others to notice him. He cracks jokes a lot of the time and enjoys the company of girls. However, he does know when to be serious and he doesn't let anyone walk all over him. He has lofty goals, including working for the ministry or being a manager for pro Quidditch players

History: Bran is the fourth child and second son of Catelyn and Eddard Stark in Exeter, Devon, England. His family are muggles and, when Bran first began to display his unique abilities, Catelyn refused to tell Eddard about them. She would catch him climbing walls or trees, but he would be too high up for most people to reach without assistance. Things would also float around him, causing Catelyn and Eddard to fear that they had poltergeists in their home.
The family called in a couple of priests, but that didn't get rid of the problem. It persisted until the day that Bran lost his balance in a tree and plummeted to the ground, breaking his back. He spent a few months in a medically induced coma. During that time, all of the strange activity stopped and the Starks began to suspect there was something more wrong with their son. It was unknown whether the other Stark siblings had anything about them that made them different, but Catelyn's focus was for Bran most of the time, and for her hatred of a son that was born to another woman outside of hers and Eddard's marriage.
After Bran woke from his coma, nothing else out of the ordinary happened. Bran had, in fact, gone into a deep depression after being told he wouldn't walk again. He didn't want to do any rehabilitation, but he was made to and at least gained strength in his upper body. Over the next couple of years, he began to regain some happiness and confidence. He began to use laughter as his main source of medicine and the family forgot that there had ever been anything strange happening in their home and that also made Bran feel good, that he was just normal. That was, until the owls began to come.
At first, the family tried to ignore them, until Rob Stark insisted that the letters that were delivered be opened. Bran's invitation to some strange school was received with odd, frightened looks. That entire summer was spent with Bran begging for permission to go. He wanted to. It was something different for him, so he wanted to see what would happen to him there. Catelyn was beyond against it and was still against it when Eddard said that Bran could and should go. Bran promised that he would be alright and that he just wanted to see what this wizarding thing was all about.
Naturally, the school was filled with all sorts of discoveries and interesting things that brought out the best in Bran. He missed his brothers and sisters, but he made good friends at Hogwarts. It was his home away from home and even though he was always happy to return to his family during the summer and holidays, he was just as happy to go back to Hogwarts for the rest of the year. The school was very accommodating to him, allowing him to charm parts of stairs into ramps and there were lifts installed already for other students with mobility problems.
Bran became interested in joining some sort of Quidditch management when he was in third year and saw what people working behind the scenes could do. He began studying it when he wasn't studying regular school work. In his fifth year, Bran was awarded a day with a player and his manager and became more fascinated with the work than usual. He knew since he couldn't become an actual player, then he wanted to work in to manage players and teams.
Currently, Bran is in his sixth year and has kept his marks up as high as he can. Bran is a popular boy and basically leads a happy life.
