I WALK THIS EMPTY STREET
[/color][/font][/center]Personality
[/font][/center]DISLIKES: St. Mungo’s, his middle name, emotional females, homophobics, Romeo&Juliet type stories (starcrossed lovers), the colour pink, spiders
LIKES: his mother, staring at Madam James, going to the Hospital Wing, the nicjname ‘Marko’, being different to his dad, action tales, Canada
BAD HABITS: Bites his nails, jumps to conclusions, ignores people who bore/irritate him
GOOD HABITS: Apologises when he’s done something wrong (but only if he means it), lets his mum know he appreciates her, generally kind
WEAKNESSES: He’s a horny, insecure teenage boy – Elsie James (he has a crush, but shh! It’s a secret ;]); his sister – he’d do nearly anything to make her feel better if she was sad; he’s rather like Ron in awkward situations (“Can I make you a cup of tea?”);
STRENGTHS: He’s very loyal; he’s not afraid to stand up for what he believes in; he’s proud to be different; DADA
PERSONALITY: Marko takes pride in the fact that he’s not his father. Don’t get me wrong, he loves him, dearly, but he knows that he isn’t Mark Dashwood, Surgeon and Charmer extraordinaire, he’s just Marko. He hates the fact that he’s Mark Dashwood II, because he feels like he’s unoriginal. In a way to combat being forever compared to his father, he went the opposite way. He found that he enjoys DADA and Care of Magical Creatures, and that he’s happier being relaxed and lacking pressure. He’s done the opposite of his father; he never wants to go down the same route, because that’ll (in his mind) lead up to him being forever compared to his dad, and forever falling short.
He’s a pretty cheerful person, and isn’t really openly mean to someone unless he thinks they deserve it. He’s no coward, and he’d stand up for whatever the hell he believes in. He loves his dad, but would openly defy him. Underneath it all, he does care what his dad thinks of him, but refuses to let it affect who Marko is.
Marko has a very high respect for females, and this is the byproduct of having a mother who loved him to bits and a very wilful little sister. He’s a chivalrous white knight, but he’d never admit it.
He is slightly jealous of those boys who look like Adonis (Chace Crawford *swoons*) especially because his dad is such a charmer (he doesn’t think his dad is guilty of infidelity, but he knows that waitresses will give them free drinks, and receptionists will be lovely just because of his dad). He feels guilty for this, and doesn’t begrudge his friends that, if they are well endowed in the looks department.

MIRROR OF ERISED: For his mom, sister and dad to be happy, and for him to have the girl of his dreams (in his dreams, this is often Elsie)
VERITASERUM: 1. He wishes his dad wasn’t so handsome, suave, charming, intelligent, powerful, important – he wishes he didn’t have to live up to him.
2. He hates his name. He feels like he’s always going to be the second Mark Dashwood, and his middle name is just plain stupid.
3. He’s slightly jealous that his dad always seems to love Becky best, despite Marko being stuck with the same name as him.
BOGGART: He’s terrified that one day, his mother (who, in his family, has always shown him the most affection), will die. His secondary fear is Becky’s death.
DEMENTOR: When his mum was crying when he came home from his friend’s house early when he was younger, and he couldn’t make it stop. He’s terrified of his mum or little sister getting hurt.
PATRONUS: The day he started Hogwarts. Best. Day. EVER.
AND I’M THE ONLY ONE
[/color][/font][/center]Familyhistory
[/font][/center]FATHER: Mark Dashwood, 42. Surgeon and Chief of Staff at St Mungo's.
MOTHER: Kate Dashwood, 38. Wizarding Lawyer – specialises in family law.
SIBLINGS: Rebecca “Becky” Dashwood, 12. Second year Slytherin.
OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY: Henry Dashwood (grandfather, paternal), 68
Melina Shaum Dashwood (grandmother, paternal), 64
Alexander Pritchard (grandfather, maternal), 66
Beatrice Logan Pritchard (grandmother, maternal), 65
Henry Dashwood (great-grandfather, paternal), 98
Elizabeth Dashwood (great-grandmother, paternal), 90
Ava Shaum (great grandmother, paternal), 94
HISTORY: Marko grew up being adored by his mother and loved by his father. He watched his father adore and spoil his little sister, however, and was always faintly jealous. He got over that when he was about 9, however, when he decided that being his mother’s favourite was enough for him, especially as he secretly loves his mum more.
He takes pride in the fact that he isn’t his father, and that he’s Marko Dashwood, not Mark Dashwood II. He’s always enjoyed whole family outings, but more so when he was younger, and his father gave him as much attention as Becky. Nowadays, he prefers seeing his family one-on-one. He dislikes being with one parent and his sister immensely, as when it’s him, Becky and his dad, she’s always spoilt, and when its him, his sister and mom, the atmosphere is more tense.
He grew up in a stable home, with a family that loved him, and a little sister, who, whilst irritating the hell out of him, he loved dearly. His mum is fair, but loving, whereas his dad… Marko doesn’t think his dad understands him at all. He’s probably right. He’s very adventurous, and fun, but he’s a mama’s boy, as she has always paid him more attention.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, he decided he’d be himself, and not his father. At the start of this year, Madam James started, and he fell into complete infatuation. He’d doodle her name in his journal, and it became quite cute, really. He hasn’t told his family, though Becky will probably figure it out after his sixteenth visit to the Hospital Wing this month. Madam Elsie James is the reason he stayed at Hogwarts. He does not yet know that she’s shagging his dad.
