[/B] blonde.

EYE COLOUR: blue.

HEIGHT: 5'9"

WEIGHT: 130 lbs.

BODY TYPE: normal, slightly towards the thin body type.

VOICE: varies according to mood, generally rich.

PERSONAL STYLE: flamboyant and colourful, gilderoy has expensive taste which doesn't come easily when his family aren't the richest around. in reality, the way he dresses and the way he wishes to dress are somewhat different - if he could afford the best in showy clothing, he'd buy it and wear it constantly. as it is, he often has to compromise slightly and mix his desire for expensive and flamboyant colours with darker, more affordable ones. during the school hours, he'll be found wearing the traditional ravenclaw robes, although he prefers much more elegant and passionate shades of blue in his free time.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION: gilderoy lockhart is an attractive young boy and hot damn, doesn't he know it? you couldn't manage to compliment him on his appearance and have him not realise that he was given an advantage in the appearance department. of course, that doesn't mean one should refrain from complimenting him on his attractiveness, because he revels in hearing what he already knows and having that admittance of admiration. with a traditional blonde hair-blue eyes combination, he manages to appeal to a large number of girls and boys, through pure appearance alone. it is for himself however that he makes the effort, thinking much more of himself than any of the students who express an interest. it is therefore for the latter reason that people are almost instantly repelled by him. attracted by his beauty, but repulsed almost immediately the moment he speaks.

AND ALL YOU KNOW ,

and how you speak
------------------------------------------------------------[/center]

[/B] the idea of fame, attention, praise, finding a talent (it's a rare occurence), being admired, knowledge, writing, literature, fireplaces, talking (mostly about himself), himself, mirrors, his reflection, appearances, memory charms.

CHARACTER DISLIKES: being ridiculed, being scared so easily, people criticising him, being forgotten by history, not being adequate in areas of magical academia, failure, playing quidditch, being interrupted, wet winters, pumpkin juice.

GOALS: to become a celebrity and be known throughout the wizarding world as successful, attractive and at the top of the popularity pyramid.

BOGGART: failure in his goal to become famous and being ridiculed about his lack of talent - being a nobody.

PATRONUS: the day he received his hogwarts letter - until this point, gilderoy's hopes and dreams in life had never been fully realised or even speculated about. the arrival of a letter that allowed him a new start in a different world was everything he wanted as an eleven-year-old boy. it gave him a chance to be something else other than what people saw him as, a chance to make something amazing of himself. he always believed he was special, but the letter itself was the evidence he desperately craved.

DEMENTOR: gilderoy fears being a "nobody" in his own words so much because of his childhood memories being reinforced. being muggleborn and evidently different from most of the children in his school, he often found himself in the centre of (and the most frequent target of) the school bullies. still very young at the time, he remained clueless to what exactly it was that people didn't like about him or his personality, he only knew that people didn't like him. being always so desperate to retain attention (he always had a love of the spotlight), he craved their approval and acceptance as opposed to their criticisms and abuse. on various occasions, he'd managed to talk his way out of situations where they could hurt him, but one day was different. during those horrible moments of constant punching and kicking, he felt as though he needed an escape, to somewhere where these people couldn't taunt or inflict pain upon him anymore. it scares him more than anything to think that hogwarts might turn upon him in the same way.

AMORENTIA: fresh parchment, peacock quill, expensive perfume.

BASIC PERSONALITY: self-assured, vain, observant, curious, ambitious, calm, hopeful, delusions of grandeur.

POP QUIZ! as many as you can regulate efficiently.

RP SAMPLE:

How was it that there were people unavailable to reproduce and some awful individuals had still managed to plague his life with this tiny brat? There was something incredibly wrong with this logic. She could have stolen the place of a kid who, whilst still irritating on many levels, could have been wise enough to know when to stop talking and shut up. Clearly this child was not there for either meeting handing out those particular qualities and it was not doing her any favours. His face returning to that of an expressionless mask, he shrugged, hardly meeting her eyes any longer, simply wanting to get this stupid girl out of his life at the next opportunity. He was not about to rise to whatever ridiculous game she was playing, preferring to simply imagine that she wasn't there. Oh, what a perfect world that would have been. "It's a snake," he replied, in a matter-of-face voice as though this one phrase had completely destroyed her argument. "It's not going to care what it's called. Even if it did, I hardly think it'd want to be named Fernando." Of course he was testing her patience right now, it was a common feature of his personality and he felt it was thoroughly deserved on her part.

He rolled his eyes, as he continued to pace a little further towards the doorway, as though daring her to argue with him. Did she honestly believe, having eventually found enough brain in her body to rush to her head and figure out his pureblood ancestry, that he would be intimidated by her empty threats? Yeah, he was openly worried. Just about as much as he was when there was no food upon the table at dinnertime, it was just something that never happened. "I'm actually beginning to feel sorry for Fernando, it can't be easy having a dolt like you as its companion. Are you sure you're actually a witch? I think someone made a serious error in judgement." Ah, how cute. She was beginning to mirror his reactions, something that demonstrated he had a good chance of escaping this god-awful situation in a matter of a few minutes. Which, of course, was entirely what he had been aiming at, despite her pathetic efforts to persuade him to help her on her way. He didn't want to help her on her way, her hated her way and never wanted to see it again. As far as he was concerned, she took take her way and herself and walk in the opposite direction, leaving him in peace to enjoy the solitude of the platform.

Damn. She'd taken his advice as though he had been serious and progressed to move to the other side of the platform. There was definitely no chance of avoiding her now, since he also had to do this, in order to save the life that she'd tried her best to ruin. Running his tongue over his lips, thoughtfully, inspiration came to him unexpectedly, causing the typical Malfoy smirk to reappear. A few seconds after she moved, he did so, finally having reached his beloved platform, crashing his cart into her. Of course, he having planned this, he simply remained standing, acting as though nothing out of the ordinary had happened. "Wow, I'm sorry about that." If this was a contest of how insincere he sounded right then, he'd be bringing back the gold medal. "I guess Fernando didn't see that coming. Shame." With that last word, he moved towards the train, picking up one of the books she'd managed to displace, as he walked away from her.
