Blood status: half
Desired House: Gryffindor
Wand make-up: 10 ½ inches, cherry wood, Kelpie tail hair
Pet: Keeps all of his pets but his owl Miaow at home with his father - two cats called Hoot & Cosmo, a horse called Solace, a sheep called Lily (because she hates sheep and he finds it hilarious), a crup called Mandy, a Salamander called Hitchcock, and a thestral his stepmother found injured a couple of years ago called Mr. Invisible who adopted their family as his own.

Picture: www.musak.org/blogimages/Edward+Speleers-thumb-393x500.jpg
Scars: multiple small ones from run-in with magical creatures - his only big one is on his left forearm, a scar from a dragon claw that he keeps because he's proud of it.
Piercings: none
Tattoos: none
Other: -
Personality: Generally raucous, and really cares, though this isn't always apparent because he's not close to many people. One of those romantic sort of guys who nevertheless guards his heart very well. He's good friends with Lily Luna Potter, having bonded over a shared boredom at family events. He's very sarcastic, but even-tempered and is often the mediator between Lucy and Molly, and Lily and her older brothers when the siblings fight. He's very clever, but gets very easily bored in lessons because the only thing he's interested in are magical creatures and for the life of him cannot understand why he needs to study things like History of Magic if he wants to be a naturalist. Thus, he gets into a lot of arguments with his teachers over his work ethic. Or rather, lack thereof. Tends to prefer animals to people, but is so easy-going that he attracts lots of people. He has a slight tendency to never take anything seriously.
Likes: Magical creatures and animals in general, spending weekends hunting in forests for new creatures with his dad, Lily Potter when she's not in one of her funny moods, that adrenaline rush you get when you narrowly avoid being killed by the newest animal your dad has discovered and decided to keep in the backyard.
Dislikes: Teachers in general, the city, cowardice.
Strengths: Gentle, intelligent, caring, very brave.
Weaknesses/Flaws/Vices: Has a very low boredom threshold, a general lack of regard for curfew, is usually pretty reckless, holds grudges for a very long time, tends to judge people very quickly, and is a compulsive swearer

Background: Lysander's family consists of himself, his twin brother Lorcan, his mother Luna, his father Rolf and a large assortment of animals, both magical and non-magical. His father is a keen naturalist and Lysander is going to follow in his footsteps. He already knows more about magical creatures than most Care of Magical Creatures teachers, and isn't afraid to correct them when they're wrong. He has no interest at all in studying in any other lessons, and tends to be a little disruptive. He manages to scrape passes because he persuades Lily to help him with studying, but only just. He has a certain disregard for rules - not in a rebellious way, he honestly doesn't notice he's breaking them a lot of the time - and thus spends a great deal of time in detention.
Roleplay sample:
"Fine," Lysander said, marching into the middle of the room and standing dead still. "You stick all the bloody posters up by yourself then. Merlin, you're so much like your grandmother it isn't true. Nag, nag, nag. Next thing you know you'll have seven kids and be knitting jumpers every Christmas."
He thrust the pile of posters, all bearing pictures of the two Heads of School and the phrase, "Secretly shagging," at her, and then returned to his frozen position.
