I WALK THIS EMPTY STREET
[/color][/font][/center]Personality
[/font][/center]DISLIKES: Bad music, people who can’t take a joke, being told what to do, being bored, peanut butter, hangovers.
LIKES: Good music, fun people, freedom, completing something to his own satisfaction, strawberry jam, getting drunk.
BAD HABITS: Sleeping in, being too much of a perfectionist over certain things, judging people, getting ridiculously drunk, making a fool of himself while drunk, smoking while drunk.
GOOD HABITS: Working very hard (almost obsessively) on things he cares about, laughing a lot, making up small tunes in his head when he’s not thinking about anything in particular, humming/singing absentmindedly to himself (he actually has a good voice), always apologising if he’s in the wrong.
WEAKNESSES: Can be lazy, tends to forget things that aren’t important to him, often acts like a bit of a child, refuses to listen to good advice if he’s being advised not to do something he wants to do, can be judgmental of people he finds uninteresting, has a fairly low alcohol tolerance level and always gets drunk at a party, even when he doesn’t intend to.
STRENGTHS: Talented musician and singer, capable of working ridiculously hard on things he cares about or knows he has to do, good at solving problems, very loyal to the people he cares about, good sense of humour.
PERSONALITY: Seth has a number of different sides to his character, which are seen by different people at different times.
He’s basically a friendly guy, who likes having fun and is always up for a laugh, and in the centre of the room at a party (probably standing on a table with his tie round his head, singing a song). He doesn’t need alcohol to behave like an idiot, but he always drinks anyway, and always ends up very drunk. That’s the side most people see, most of the time. This side of him is lazy about his school work, does everything at the last minute, and is always cracking jokes and chatting to people.
There’s also a far more thoughtful side to him. He has a good moral sense, is extremely loyal, and has strong opinions on equality and liberty (he’s in favour of them both, basically). He also tends to regret the things he did whilst drunk, even going so far as to swear he’ll never drink again, although he always does. This is also the side of him that is passionate about his music, will stay up all night learning a new song he’s set his heart on (or on any other task he actually cares about) and would go to the ends of the earth for his friends and family.
However, there is sometimes a rather distant and judgmental side to him. He can’t really be bothered with people he doesn’t find interesting, so he’ll be friendly up to a certain point, and then brush them off when they irritate him. If somebody doesn’t appear interesting, he has a bad tendency not to look beneath the surface, but simply to assume they aren’t interesting. He finds talent the most interesting and attractive trait someone can possess – not that he automatically likes everyone with talent and dislikes everyone without; he simply finds that watching someone do something they’re very good at draws him to that person.

She wasn’t found for three hours (she’d wandered off and got lost, and was frightened but unhurt), by which time everyone was assuming she’d fallen in the river. Seth believed that it was his fault for not looking after her better.

AND I’M THE ONLY ONE
[/color][/font][/center]Familyhistory
[/font][/center]FATHER: Patrick Arthur Wishart, 50, Muggle. Patrick is a well-known playwright and theatre director in the Muggle world. Born into a well-off, upper middle class family, he left it all behind when he went into the theatre. He struggled for a long time, but eventually became successful and is now one of the most celebrated names in the West End.
MOTHER: Lucie-Alice Wishart, nee Coleman, 42, Muggle. The daughter of Lord William Coleman, a minor baronet whose seat is in Norfolk. She is some years younger than her husband, and met him at the party of a mutual friend. At the time, he was an obscure young playwright, and her family disapproved wholeheartedly; however, they have become more accepting as he has grown more successful.
SIBLINGS:
Christina Marie Wishart, 14, Muggle
Reuben Edward Wishart, 10, Wizard
OTHER IMPORTANT FAMILY:
Christopher Wishart, 80, paternal grandfather (deceased)
Heather Wishart, 77, paternal grandmother
Lord Coleman (William), 71, maternal grandfather
Lady Coleman (Iva), 68, maternal grandmother
Ralph Coleman, 45, maternal uncle
HISTORY: By the time Seth was born, his father had become very successful and money was plentiful. The family had a large house in a nice part of London, not too far from the theatre district. He grew up in and around the theatre. His father encouraged him to take an interest, something his mother tolerated rather than encouraged. She liked the theatre herself, but believed that her children should be allowed to come to it themselves, when they were old enough to know their own minds, and that they should be encouraged to do other things as well. As a result of this, Seth was also given music lessons, something he flourished in far more than he did the theatre. By the time he was ten, he was determined to be a musician; he plays both piano, and classical guitar.
As a child, he was close to his sister, despite the three years between them in age. Christina was always a bit of a vain spoiled brat, who wrapped others around her little finger, but her older brother was the one person she knew she couldn’t fool, therefore didn’t try, and they got on well. Christina and Reuben, on the other hand, fought constantly; Christina was jealous of Reuben from the day he was born.
Strange things happened around Seth from the age of around seven. His family gradually came to accept that these were not simply funny flukes and coincidences, but something much stranger, and when the oddly dressed man arrived with a letter for Seth from Hogwarts, they accepted it with a stunned resignation. Seth himself was the most shocked, and insisted for a while that he didn’t want to go to Hogwarts, he just wanted to be a musician, but he was eventually persuaded that he could be a musician and a wizard. Christina, after an initial temper tantrum that she was not also a witch, became fascinated by magic, and was always asking Seth questions about Hogwarts, eager to meet his friends there, and visit places like Diagon Alley; it was difficult to impress upon her that she mustn’t boast to her friends that her brother was a wizard.
Since it became obvious that Reuben was also a wizard, however, Christina has withdrawn from both her brothers, showing far less interest in the magical world, and throwing herself into her theatre work (she’s at stage school in order to make herself special in her own way, since she can’t be a witch. She’s become, to put it bluntly, a bit of a shallow bitch, and Seth, who still loves her, is sad to see the way she is, since he knows that that’s not who she is underneath.
His mother’s family are upper class, titled people (although in a fairly minor way). His grandfather is a baronet with an estate in Norfolk. His Uncle Ralph is the heir to the title, but having no children (and unlikely to ever have any, being a closet gay), Seth is the next heir. This is something that makes him vaguely uncomfortable, and not many people at Hogwarts know it.
