Oliver Travers
NAME: Oliver Dominic Travers
AGE: 13
SOCIAL CLASS: Upper Class
SCHOOL YEAR: Second (He was born 17 December)
PLAY-BY: Freddie Highmore
BlOOD STATUS: Pureblood
EYES: Clear grey
HAIR: Short, wavy dark brown
SKINTONE: Fair, doesn't burn easily or tan
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 5'10" and still growing, lean build
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: A few freckles, but nothing else
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Oliver isn't very remarkable, physically. His features are fairly soft yet, and his grey eyes give him an upper-class look. He inherited his traits almost exclusively from the Travers side of the family, with the slight softness to his features coming from his mother, a Prewett. He is of average height and fairly light, and thus fairly athletic-looking, without any traits of a body-builder. He looks neat and has good posture, but he's not as extreme as most upper class purebloods.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Oliver is athletic and quick, and has a remarkably good eye for detail, often noticing things beyond what most people do. He has a keen sense of empathy, and because of that can sympathize and get along extraordinarily well with all types of people.
MAGICAL SKILLS: Oliver is good at flying, has been doing it since he was around five years old, and perfected the skill during flying lessons in his first year. He's also good at charm-work, as he has a pretty focused mind.
BEST/WORST CLASSES: His best classes are Charms and Herbology, as he prefers that sort to the rigidness of classes such as Potions or Transfiguration. Also, during first year he was exceptional in Flying class.
WEAKNESSES: He's almost too nice. He'll forgive and forget everything and anything, and people could take advantage of him that way. Also, he doesn't have a massive amount of willpower-- it's difficult for him to stand up to friends who are doing the wrong thing.
STRENGTHS: He is focused and can remain calm in situations. He's very accepting, and will be a friend to anyone who needs it-- no matter the class, no matter the blood status. He can also appear pretty confident, but not arrogantly confident. And he's a very likable kid.
QUIRKS & HABITS: He grew up in a family of nine children, and is used to the company of others, and therefore dislikes being alone for long stretches of time. If he's nervous, he'll rub the back of his neck and blush. He also has a habit of carrying around a little notebook and sketching things at random times if he gets bored. Also, he'll never tell anyone this, but he's still somewhat afraid of the dark.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Oliver Dominic Travers is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He has a sunny, outgoing personality, and is rarely ever seen with a smile on his face. He's always willing to help people, never gets impatient or flares up in a temper, and will make friends with practically everyone that comes his way. But he does know when to leave well enough alone-- if someone just refuses to be friends with him, he'll let them be. Oliver is generous and charitable, as he is very used to sharing from having nine siblings. His parents, different than your average pureblood upperclassmen, cultivated kindness and generosity into their children.
While sunny and outgoing, Oliver isn't at all obnoxious. He's nothing of a prankster, and comes across as a quiet, respectful boy. He's happy and content, as well as rather inquisitive. While he likes reading, it would never take over his life, and he would much rather be with good friends, flying around the Quidditch pitch or just having a nice chat in the cozy common room.
BIRTH PLACE: Devon, England
PARENTS: Elliott Thomas Travers (b. 1834, age 50) and Mariana Lyra Prewett Travers (b. 1843, Age 41)
SIBLINGS: Full siblings: Maximus Parkinson Travers (17), Hannah Catherine Travers (11), Alyss Mariana Travers (7), and Abel Max Travers (5).
Half siblings: Mathias Algernon Travers (23), Bellona Tamara Travers (22), Alan Reginald Travers (20), Catherine Marie Travers (19)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: N/A
CHILDREN: N/A
OTHERS: His father's first wife, Alyss Hannah Parkinson, the mother of his half-siblings, who died during the birth of Catherine. Also, many relatives.
PET: A silver tabby cat named Whisper
CHARACTER HISTORY: Oliver was the sixth child in the Elliott Travers family, and his own mother's second. During his childhood, there weren't many rifts between the children of Alyss and those of Mariana, however, Bella, his oldest sister, lost the Travers happiness when her mother died. Bella never had too much to do with her half-siblings, and for a while Oliver barely knew she existed. However, the two of them became close friends when Oliver was eight, because of his natural ability to sympathize.
The Travers children were raised with a tolerant but segregated viewpoint-- while they did not usually look down on muggles, muggle-borns, and half-bloods, they wanted to keep their family line as pure as anyone else's. However, they were less extreme, and friendships with the other classes were allowed and, in some cases, encouraged.
All of the Travers children were taught from an early age to be kind to one another, and, living in such a large family, they had a lot of practice before going out into the world. Of all of them, Oliver seemed to take to the attitude most, going out of his way to help everyone in the family at any time.
When the time came-- at last-- for him to go to school, he didn't mind that he was older than practically everyone in his year, and quickly befriended his roomates. His sunny personality and longsuffering patience worked well for him, and he proved to be a dedicated student and simply a joy to have around.
Going into his second year, he was excited to try out for his house's Quidditch team.
