.What house you THINK you should be sorted into. Hufflepuff or Ravenclaw, more likely the latter for obvious reasons. XD
.History of character. Born four minutes older than his twin Madison, Nick is almost literally her complete opposite, both in appearance and personality. Where she is outgoing, he is introverted. Where she takes interest in sports and outdoor activities, he is more interested in indoor activities. From a young age, he showed more of an aptitude towards studying, almost directly in contrast with his other siblings. While he was homeschooled, his grades were always high and he always learned new things fast, and this made his mother fawn over her 'brilliant little boy'. His siblings made a point of keeping him grounded - oftentimes in a literal fashion or with threats of dragging him outside for much-needed sunlight - which prevented him from developing a bad ego and superiority complex. Already more than ready for the time away from home when his Hogwarts letter came, he was far more excited about the premise than his twin. It was a chance to learn more than he could while under his mother's tutleage..and the fact that he might actually develop a social life was simply a plus.
SAMPLE POST
The pages of books have a tendency to sound like rapidly-beating moth wings, especially when flipped back and forth. Focusing on the numerous words on the pages rather than the sounds of them, Nick only stopped long enough to rub the threat of sleep away from his eyes. Quill in one hand, inkwell close at hand, he was going through his usual near-daily routine of taking notes. Even if it wasn't necessary, he made notes of anything that might be worthwhile and save him time when writing essays out. As much work as he did, even ahead of time, it was a big drain on his free time - not that he usually considered that a bad thing. There were standards and grades to be kept up. No one was ever in the library as much as he was and it was something of a joke even for a select few members of his own House, but he had dreams of a good job..and with hard work came the premise of better pay. And when I get that, then we'll see about a social life. The thought only came because his sister was always bugging him about his lack of -real- friends, and it made him snort softly. "If anyone was able to put up with my recluse habits, they'd be a saint." Actually saying that aloud, he made a face as a thought came to mind, Talking to yourself is the first sign of insanity. That was probably more true than he'd want to admit.
