Out of Character
Name: Maia
RP Experience: 3+ years
In Character
Name: Harrison Arthur Potter
Nickname(s): Harry
Birthday: May 21
Year: Seventh
House: Gryffindor
Wand: 13" Ash, Phoenix feather
Appearance
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
Style: He doesn't really have one, just whatever fits.
General: Harrison is quite tall at nearly 6'2". He is slender and lanky with almost no extra muscle on his body. Somewhat toned from Quidditch and other sports, he is fit but not overly so. His height does not make him awkward either, although he does slouch a little, if only from laziness.
He has a boyish face that is oval with a squared jaw. Everything about him has a bit of a boyish charm, from his goofy smile to his dancing eyes. Although he is very tall, you can't help but think of him as a little kid. His nose is a little bit crooked from a Quidditch accident that happened during his fifth year that ended in a broken nose. It doesn't look bad, at Harrison likes to think that it gives his face 'character'. His lips are thin and he has dimples when he smiles. Harrison's eyes are also a fantastic green as well as framed by thick, light lashes.
His hair is light brown in color and often very messy. Harrison tends to look like he just rolled out of bed. It's cut in a way that is a bit long and his bangs often creep into his eyes. Usually he just pushes his hair to the side though and can often be seen doing a sort of awkward head jerk to move said hair away from his face. He has also been known to have some facial hair on occasion, depending on whether he felt like shaving that day.
He dresses in an extremely casual and lax way, normally just putting on whatever happened to be closest to him when he woke up. This usually consists of a pair of jeans (possibly dirty) and some sort of t-shirt. He doesn't put much effort into his appearance, but the lazy look works for him.

Personality: Harrison is very casual in both appearance and persona. He has a sort of 'take things as they come' philosophy towards life and is rarely stressed because of it. He never gets worked up about anything and is fairly mellow and down to earth. He manages to be extremely comfortable with himself without coming off as arrogant or proud. He will talk to anyone and everyone. He is easy to converse with and rarely dislikes anyone. He is just one of those people that everyone loves and gets along with.
Harrison is a very sweet boy, willing to stick up for whoever. He is fearless and brave, apt to take anything for those he loves. While he is usually not one to start a fight, he will finish it and well. It is difficult to anger him but once he is sparked, he is difficult to stop. it should also be noted that, while he is very nice, he harbors an awful resentment towards the Malfoy family and really all Slytherins. He has never forgiven anyone for his father's death and even now seeks revenge.
He is intelligent. He gets exceptional grades in school with little to no effort. Harrison has found that he need not lift a finger to survive at Hogwarts and thus has been living the lazy life for the past eight years. He never seems to study for any test and on a normal day will not complete any homework until several hours before the actual class. He is also good at figuring out people and can seemingly read and understand those around him.
Despite the fact that his many of best friends are female, he is a bit clueless when it comes to girls. They absolutely baffle him. He's terrible with relationships and his never seem to last at all. Furthermore, when he really likes a girl he can't seem to help but make a total ass of himself and then ruin the whole thing. He gets nervous easily when he likes someone and just messes up everytime somehow.
Harrison also has quite the sense of humor. He finds pretty much everything funny, in his own way. Half the time that Harry laughs, it proves to be over something that nobody else can understand. Occasionally there will be a valid reason. He loves anything ironic, but slapstick is also great as well. He's a little bit immature in this way (actually, in many other ways as well). To him, the whole world is one big joke. Thus why he takes nothing seriously.
He will sometimes get a sort of psychotic look in his eye, which is scary. Following this, he will usually do something that could only be described as insane. He will suddenly be full of all sorts of crazy energy. It is around these times that he will, say, suddenly pick up his friends and run off with them, or suddenly break a bottle across a table or just start dancing etc. He can be very immature and random.
It should be known that while Harry usually appears very upbeat, casual and happy, he does occasionally become very depressed, though no one knows. He hides it well and very few people know. Nonetheless, he does become very sad sometimes, which is partly why he can never bother do do anything. He also smokes, though not usually around certain people (cough girls cough).
Like the rest of his family, Harry is completely Quidditch obsessed. There is nothing about the sport that he dislikes and he is prone to spend hours just studying the game. He has been known to become very depressed over his favorite team losing and, likewise, if he actually loses a game. He can also be very mad if a team members costs his team a game. That's something he just can't get over. He puts his heart and soul into Quidditch.
History
Family Members: Harry Potter (deceased); Ginny Potter; Jamie Potter (Hufflepuff, 5th year); Erica Potter (Gryffindor, 3rd year)
Thoughts on Family: (How does your character feel about their family?) Harrison loves his family. He adores his mother and is very sweet to her. He remembers his father the most out of all the Potter children, and misses him terribly each and every day. He takes good care of his younger siblings, Jamie and Erica, though he does occasionally cross over the line and become a little overprotective. Really he just doesn't want to lose any more of his family.
Personal History: Harrison Potter was born on April 2nd, the day after April Fool's day, to a very ecstatic Harry and Ginny Potter. He was their first and, for two years, only child. Following him came Jamie and then, two years after that, Erica.
Harrison was like any other normal child, wandering about and putting foreign objects in his mouth. He was his parent's proud and joy, and Harry was rather proud of the fact that his son looked quite a bit like him. More than anything else, Harry wanted to make sure that his children had a better childhood- a better life- than he had.
When the wizarding world was once again threatened by the likes of Lord Voldemort, their family was torn apart. Harry was murdered by Lucius Malfoy during the war, rendering Harrison fatherless at eight years old. He was very aware of this, and it could be said that the event changed the young boy forever. He was inconsolable and, to some extent, remains so. Most of all, Harrison became angry and resentful. He blamed many people for his father's death, feeling wronged and very, very angry. Ginny noticed the change in her son and quite frankly was frightened.
Without really realizing it, Harrison stepped up to the plate of being the 'man' in the family. He took care of his mother as well as his siblings. He tried to help the family cope, ignoring his own pain and rage. He became an almost father figure in his younger brother and sister's eyes and learned to control himself. Harry's death made Harrison have to grow up quickly, or really it should have. He's still pretty immature.
He was sent to Hogwarts and immediately sorted into Gryffindor. He found that the Potters remained something of a legend, and was proud of that fact. He loved being in the same school as his father. He fit right into Hogwarts and felt very comfortable from the beginning.

Sample RP:
As Roxanne Asby on Vintage Desires
Roxanne had been kicked out of the library on several occasions and, upon meeting her, it was almost immediately apparent why. She was loud to an almost ridiculous extent and appeared to have no 'inside voice' to speak of. Very passionate with no attention span, she was a four year old trapped in a sixteen year old girl's fragile body. She sat now at one of the library tables, twitching with perhaps a mix of anxiety and giddiness. She was smiling wickedly as her feet tapped against the muted carpet, her finger drumming across the table and her eyes focusing on anything but the work in front of her. As badly as her Charms homework needed to be done, Roxanne couldn't seem to focus on it.
The reason she did poorly in school could be attributed to a lack of Adderall in the wizarding world. If the infirmary just stocked Ritalin, then maybe she wouldn't have a problem. Roxanne had a serious issue with hyperactivity and would never be calmed. She was constantly moving and talking, screaming nonsense or whatever came across her brain. She had no filter between thought or speech, it was all the same. She spoke what she thought and she thought what she spoke. It was almost like Roxanne had no internal voice or monologue, just her external voice that voiced out all thoughts and feelings in a rapid, firing fashion.
She had transfered from Beaubaxtons along with her much adored older brother, Christian. it had been a rough move of sorts and, at first, she had almost regretted it. At Beauxbatons her life had been set. Roxanne had had her friends, her enemies, everything was fine and in place. Coming to Hogwarts had given everything a 180. She'd had to make new friends, learn her way around a new school and, most of all, adjust to the curriculum. It had been difficult but doable and she now found herself almost comfortable in this new world. Of course, she was still a little confused, especially since Hogwarts seemed to be constantly rearranging itself. She could swear that the rooms and, most of all, the paintings seemed to constantly be moving. Just the other day she had seen a painting of three nuns on the second floor, in a different frame, when earlier she could have sworn it was in a hallway on the fourth floor. Also, not so long ago she had personally witnessed a staircase moving. It was things like these that left Roxanne perfectly disoriented and were the reasons that she was often late to class.
Her attention was briefly turned back to her Charms homework. She stared at it blankly, trying to register the words on the page. Oh dear, this was such rubbish! Homework absolutely kicked puppies. She couldn't do it.
Sighing, Roxanne leaned back in her chair, causing the front legs to lift off the floor as she tilted her head back, letting her curly, brown hair cascade towards the floor in deep waves. She was frowning deeply and dramatically, causing little lines to etch on her delicate forehead. As she continued to lean backwards, she suddenly lost her balance and there was a very loud thump as her chair fell over, crashing onto the floor with Roxanne on top. She hit her head on a bookshelf on the way down and expressed this with a very loud, "Owww!"
