Claude Edwin Black
NAME: Claude Edwin Black
AGE: 17
SOCIAL CLASS: Upper Class
SCHOOL YEAR: Seventh
PLAY-BY: Andrew Garfield
BlOOD STATUS: Pureblood
EYES: Brown
HAIR: Dark brunette, cut short and always out of place. He gave up trying to tame his hair years ago.
SKINTONE: Tan
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6'1, 165 lbs
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: He wears glasses most of the time, although he's not blind without them.
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Claude is usually described as tall and lanky. He's slim but not athletically built. He wears a pair of black glasses that have been repaired several times thanks to his clumsiness. His hands are often found in his hair so it's always in a state of disarray. His eyes are the same color as his hair and he's usually seen with a bored expression or a cheeky grin at the most inappropriate times.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Claude has a way with words and a great imagination. He spends his free time writing epic stories, although he's very personal about them. He would love to make a career out of his passion but knows it doesn't pay well enough for him to continue the life he's become accustomed to.
MAGICAL SKILLS: Claude is brilliant with a wand and enjoys any class that includes using it. He's become quite an expert dueler over the years.
BEST/WORST CLASSES: Defense Against the Dark Arts / Potions
WEAKNESSES: Claude is an awkward seventeen year old, especially around the fairer sex. He's actually never had a girlfriend because he has been known to stumble over his words or drop things around a pretty girl. He's also a bit arrogant around his mates and can be a bit of a smartass when he loses patience with someone. He is not a bit athletic or coordinated enough to walk over a flat surface without tripping. He relies on his wand and without it, he would lose a fight within a minute.
STRENGTHS: Claude has a lot of book smarts and can usually talk his way out of a situation, assuming he's not speaking with a girl. He's very determined once he sets his mind on something and will lose himself in his work, whether it's his homework or research for personal reasons. He can be a bit of a smartass but knows how to show respect to those elder than him. He is very family oriented and respects his parents.
QUIRKS & HABITS: He has a tendency to pull at his hair when he's concentrating or twirls his wand in his left hand while writing. He's accidentally set the curtains on his four poster bed on fire on more than one occasion because of it. He can also be seen pushing his glasses up his nose when he's in an uncomfortable situation and avoiding eye contact with females.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Claude grew up in an upper class family with a well known name and a hefty bit of money to go along with it. Despite that, he wasn't raised to be a brat and was rather well rounded. It was probably also due to the fact that he was the third son and didn't get nearly as much attention as his older brothers. He holds quite a bit of respect for his parents and his professors, although he's been known to look down on muggleborns as he was raised to believe they were below him.
He's an awkward boy with two left feet. Even if he could stumble out a request for a dance from a nice girl, he would probably step on her feet and avoids the whole thing altogether. He assumes he will be arranged to marry someone one day and is fine with that as he won't have to worry about wooing some poor girl. He's very determined and plans on making something of himself once he's graduated Hogwarts, although he hasn't decided what that is yet. He just knows he doesn't want to spend his life relying on his family money and wants to earn enough to care for himself.

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Claude was the third son of Louie and Millicent Black. He grew up in a wealthy family with a very old family name. Louie wasn't the oldest either but as a Black he'd gained enough of the family money to be apart of the upper class. On top of that, he promoted very quickly in his line of work until he was one of the big names so his family was well taken care of.
Despite how much money they had, Claude and his siblings were never spoiled. They only got what they deserved and earned and as Claude grew older he was grateful for that. He sees the way some of his classmates behaved after a lifetime of getting whatever they wanted and he was glad to be nothing like them.
He had two older brothers, both of which he looked up. Horace was the oldest and gained the most attention from everyone. He is already engaged and set to be married, something Claude couldn't even imagine at the moment. Charles was a bit different. He seemed to be the black sheep and had no ambition in his life. Claude enjoyed his company though because he usually had some great stories to tell. Marion and Anthony are his younger siblings, both of whom he's very protective of. Marion, being the only girl in the family, gained his protective behavior simply because he was worried of her getting hurt. Anthony was a different case altogether. He was born with a terrible immune system and everyone worried over him constantly. He sort of hated that this would be his last year at Hogwarts and he wouldn't be able to look after them. It made him want to take a teaching position just so they wouldn't be alone but he hated the thought of teaching.
Claude has many interests but he currently has no idea what he wants to do with his life after graduation. He has plenty of ambition but isn't sure where he would fit best. He wants to make his family proud though and hopes to claim a decent position in his field.
