[CHARACTER.PERSONALITY]
FAVORITE CLASS:
LEAST FAVORITE CLASS: Flying. He despises it with a passion, and refuses to go anywhere near a broom, including Quidditch matches.
HOBBIES: Reading, spending time outside, sitting in trees – particularly in the Forbidden Forest, making statues out of rocks and various plants. He’s incredibly artistic, and can see the beauty in anything, though other people don’t often agree, and he will try to convince them that he’s right.
LIKES: Knowing everything, books, learning about other cultures, his family and friends, the outdoors, peaches, animals, art, autumn as it becomes winter, pumpkin juice, metal, Muggle sciences, wand theory, stretching the boundaries as far as possible, questioning everything.
DISLIKES: Being out of the loop, small spaces, spiders, being stuck inside all day with nothing to do, any kind of citrus, the middle of summer when it's too hot to do anything, large groups of people, shouting, being told what to do, being told 'no', having information purposely kept away from him.
GOOD HABITS: is usually friendly - unless he instictively doesn't like someone, generally makes good decisions, very polite to people he doesn't know well, studies often, loves to help people, writes letters to his family often.
BAD HABITS: still tends to be a bit of a loner, stays up late reading or just thinking, sometimes tunes out the professor if he thinks he's knows the information already, rarely eats enough, never brushes his hair, often loses track of time while reading, always has to be right.
STRENGTHS: intelligent, loyal to those he loves, imaginative, friendly, usually quite confident in himself though he doesn't often show it.
WEAKNESSES: is often unintentionally blunt in a way that hurts people's feelings, tends to sulk when things go wrong, finds it hard to feel strongly about other people's problems and tends to approach them in a scientific manner, turns all his negative emotions internally - though mentions of his family can bring out his hidden temper.
OVERALL PERSONALITY: Gabriel has always been a fairly happy child, though he has remained quiet throughout his child- and teenagehood. He's incredibly curious about everything, and rarely runs out of questions to ask someone, particularly if it's about a topic that interests him. Because of this, he oftens comes across as quite nosy, which doesn't win him many friends if they feel he's a bit too curious about their goings on.
In spite of this, he remains a friendly, optimistic child. He likes hanging out with people, though he avoids large groups, and really dislikes people who shout without a really good reason. In spite of his usual easy going nature, he has a wicked temper, and in debates can be torn between impulse and logic, though he often chooses logic. His temper is most often sparked by an insinuation that his information is faulty, or that he is in some way wrong.
He comes across as a bit of a loner due to his tendency to get completely absorbed in a book or a concept he's thinking about, and tends to set himself apart from the group when he's in the middle of a new idea. He is completely fascinated with Muggles and all their inventions after a non-magical friend introduced him to science. He is particularly interested in the elements and the different kinds of metals, to the point where he asked several times whether he could skip Hogwarts and attend a Muggle school instead, which was declined due to his strong magical ability and lack of control when he was in a temper.
He's devoted to his family - he is incredibly close to his mum, and he dotes on his little sister. When he learned that he would have a father in the form of Jacques Devereux, his mother's new husband, he was thrilled, because he would now have someone to play outdoors and play Quidditch with him, a sport he has shunned since Jacques' disappearance.
but he's coming for you
yeah, he's coming for you
yeah, he's coming for you
[CHARACTER.MEMORIES.ETC]
BOGGART: His mum and sister disappearing too.
DEMENTOR: Being told of Jacques' disappearance, and consequently setting his bed on fire.
PATRONUS: Being curled up with Suzette while his mum and stepfather took turns reading to him and Lizzie.
MIRROR OF ERISED: To have his family reunited again.
VERITASERUM:
- He didn't want a little sister, and was quite disappointed when Lizzie was born. While he wanted a sibling, he would have much preffered a little brother.
- When he was thirteen, he snuck off to Muggle London to sell his tiny statues at the markets in order to get enough money to buy another mouse to be friends with Suzette. He wanted the mouse to be purely his, because he had never had anything that he had bought with his own money before. The mouse escaped before he could bring it home, and he likes to think of it being out there somewhere with a lot of tiny mouse babies.
- He really loves that his name isn't a common english one; it makes him feel special.
AMORTENTIA: hay, old books, hot chocolate
all the other kids with
the pumped up kicks
the pumped up kicks

HISTORY:
Gabriel was born in early June of the year 2009, to his mother, Maeva Rosier, who was sixteen at the time. He was a quiet baby, and spent the majority of his younger years clinging to his mother's arm when she had to leave for work, leaving him in the care of the nursery workers who looked after the kids of people who worked at St Mungo's. Being the quietest of the bunch, he was often overlooked, and caused panic amongst the carers when they discovered he was missing, Gabe having crawled away to an empty space far away from the others.
At five, he made his first friend at the care center, a girl his age who brashly forced him into playing with the other children when they needed another person to make up the numbers of the game they were playing. He had no idea what they were doing, as he spent most of his time trying to teach himself to read with the small selection of books the nursery had, but he was curious as to the reason why they were all flopping around on the ground like in the picture of elephant seals he had seen in a book the day before. The girl was patient and answered all his questions, though she frequently looked at him in exasperation when he asked one question too many, both about the game and about the girl herself.
They became fast friends, and the highlight of their friendship for Gabe was when the girl's mother, a Squib who had worked with Maeva as a cleaner and laundress, allowed Gabe to come home with them one afternoon. The girl's mother was a muggle scientist, and an eight year old Gabe was fascinated by the ceiling to floor shelves that contained what seemed like every book in the world that dealt with science, particularly environmental science and the properties of elements. He was pulled away from the books by his friend, who demanded that he play with her, but the damage was done; he was intrigued by this whole concept he hadn't even heard of before.
He displayed signs of magic at a fairly young age, during a heated argument with another child who insisted that Gabe's friend was weird and 'wrong' because her family wasn't magical. Gabe, who was six at the time and even then fiercely loyal to those he loved, was enraged at this, and wished that the other child was cease talking, causing the kid to immediately shut up and be rendered mute until one of the Healers came by to remove the accidental spell. From then on, he had to be careful with his temper and learn exercises to control his magic, and the knowledge that he could hurt someone just by thinking about it too hard made him withdraw even more into his world of logical information and clinical facts. During this time, he spoke only to his closest friend and a small mouse he had found hiding in the bushes outside his house, Suzette's predecessor.
It was then that he discovered his love of animals, and how much he enjoyed art, particularly sculptures. Like most other children, he had built houses out of wooden and plastic blocks, and had participated in decorating paper with glue and glitter, but he quickly grew bored of these mediums. Combining his enjoyment of the outdoors and his adoration of art and beauty, Gabe often sat on his back verandah trying to recreate the scenery around him in miniature, using grass clipping, petals, rocks and copious amounts of dirt.
When Maeva announced to her son that he would be gaining a new family member when she married her boyfriend of three years, Jacques, Gabe was overjoyed that there would be someone to take him hiking in the woods, something he had always wanted to do in spite of his mother's reluctance to do so. He was also fascinated by Quidditch, particularly the spells behind it and the various rules, and after the marriage could often be found questioning Jacques on every aspect of the game for countless hours on end.
After Lizzie's birth two years later, Gabe refused to talk to her or even look at her. He was both annoyed at being deprived of another boy to play outdoors with and teach about animals, and irritated at being proven wrong in his prediction of the baby's gender. His sulking let up a few months later, when his sister started to do more than sleep and cry, and he decided that she would be an interesting experiment in the differences between different genders - and she seemed to like it when he read to her. Eventually, he adored his sister equal to the rest of his family.
Beginning Hogwarts was a difficult time for Gabe. On the one hand, he wanted see the place that held so much magic, and he wanted to start class and learn things. On the other hand, he was reluctant to leave his family, and his only friend, who wouldn't be attending Hogwarts. Armed with his favourite books, a stone he treated like another pet, and promises from his family to write, he settled into Hogwarts, though it took him the majority of his first year to hold a proper conversation with anyone.
He quickly selected a large willow overlooking the Black Lake to be 'his spot', deeming it the best place to sit because of its view, broad branches in which he could sit, and the dip in the center he could hide things in if necessary. He refuses to allow any people up that tree, regardless of how close they are to him; it is his special place for him and him alone - though any animals that venture up the tree are welcome.
Gabe and his stepfather had grown quite close over the years, bonding over a love of Quidditch and the outdoors, and their mutual protectiveness of Lizzie. After learning of his stepfather's disappearance in his third year, Gabriel, who was in his dorm at the time, neglected to do his calming exercises and caused the hangings of his bed to burst into flame. It was only the quick thinking of his dorm-mate that saved the rest of his bed and his belongings, though Gabe neglected to thank him for it, having snuck downstairs in a zombie like fashion and gone straight to 'his' tree. Since then, he has detested any mention of Quidditch, the one thing he associates with Jacques other than his mother and sister. He refuses to attend the school matches, and hasn't looked at the broom Jacques gave him since the former went missing.
Over the course of the last year and a half, Gabriel has been carrying out his own investigation of his stepfather's disappearance, though progress has been slow. He doesn't want to let the case go until he knows every piece of information surrounding the case, unable to fully accept Jacques being missing until he knows what actually happened.
