Alexandru Lestrange
NAME: Alexandru Lestrange
AGE: 29 (1854)
SOCIAL CLASS: Upper Class
STATUS: Single
OCCUPATION: Wand Wood Merchant
PLAY-BY: Chris Hemsworth
BLOOD STATUS: Halfblood
EYES: blue
HAIR: dark blonde, brownish past his ears
SKINTONE: pale, a little tanned in the summer
HEIGHT & WEIGHT: 6’3 with a quite muscular build
DISTINGUISHING MARKS: his big frame, looking out of place in a suit
OVERALL PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Alexandru is tall like his father, just an inch shorter. And just like him he is broad shouldered and seems to take up a lot of space with his muscular physique, his hands being a feature which draws attention due to the size of them They are slightly calloused and his fingers are rather long in relation to his palms, making them look oddly nimble. However he is not as intimidating as his father as he is less brooding and adds to his rather massive torso a handsome face. He keeps his hair long, just past his ears, which is looked down upon by some upperclass men. In both shade and length his hair resembles his younger brother Micah's when he keeps it longer. And just like his, Alexandru's eyes are also blue. However a broad smile isn't found on his face too often. At times he keeps a light stubble on his jawline, which is well taken care of instead of making him look like a savage.
NON-MAGICAL SKILLS: Alexandru is a very exact person. He can keep track of a business in his sleep, can remember numbers well and do the math, not only with numbers, without much difficulty. He is very organised and his handwriting neat. Furthermore his structured mind gives him a certain skill at chess an other strategics. However he has never had the wish to enter the area of mind magic like his father as he finds it to be rather manipulative which he doesn't wish to be.
MAGICAL SKILLS: At school Herbology came easily to him. He could remember the names of plants well and had an eye for the detail to discern them. However, as he sees himself, he wouldn't go so far as to say he is good with plants for growing them can at times go horribly wrong with him. Next to Herbology Potions was his favorite subject as he could work out his strength of being very exact and, in certain areas, book smart. He is a passable flyer, by far not as good as his younger brothers, which he often gets teased about. So rather than showing off his 'only' average flying skills he got himself a carpet for more comfortable travel.
WEAKNESSES: He is guarded when it comes to showing emotions. Having been raised by parents who never were close to him, he didn't learn to show emotions to begin with, but later, when he had the urge to show them, he was shunned by the people around him for doing so. When he thinks that he feels too strongly he tends to shut down and show a cold persona not unlike his father, as much as he hates that.
Pity is an emotion he feels quite fiercly at times. While he doesn't have a weak spot for poor people, his heart is quite easily captured by children, distracting him with strange emotions for those he passes on the streets wondering about their fate.
Loneliness overwhelms him quickly and once he has taken a liking to a soul he does not let go easily, trying to hold on in fear of becoming as distant as his parents.
STRENGTHS: Along with a disciplined mind comes a determination which makes Alexandru give everything he has to see a task completed. He is passionate about what he does and one would be hard pressed to find a matter which he only persues half heartedly. For if he does, something surely is wrong. And just as single-minded as he is with his tasks, he loves. Even though it can't be said that he is without prejudices against lower class people his heart finds ways despite this as it craves for the love his upbringing has lacked.
QUIRKS & HABITS: When alone Alexandru often talks to himself as he doesn't much like being alone. However the business demands it more often than not and when he stays somewhere for a few days he can be found in company soon.
OVERALL PERSONALITY DESCRIPTION: Alexandru can be polite to a fault. He was raised to be a gentleman and can very well keep the distance which is expected of one. While that can come over as cold, maybe even calculating, he means well. He can be described as proud, upright and honest, but has understood early on that business is not always a place for honesty. In the beginning it caused him great pain to go against his nature, but he has learned to deal with those who don't meet him with the same honesty and is seen, after a few years in the business, to have become more cunning himself, having learned from his father. Once he feels at ease with someone however, daring to show his emotions, a smirk is often found on his lips and quibs and jabs can come from him which are not at all to be taken seriously. Behind an at times cold exterior a loving heart is to be found which yearns for recognition and kindness, but which is guarded well.
BIRTH PLACE: London
PARENTS: Markius Wolfram Lestrange and Vasilica Lestrange
SIBLINGS: Taraylnn Lestrange (25), @micah (22), Valentina Lestrange (20), Zach Partridge Levi Lestrange (15)
SIGNIFICANT OTHER: none (to be Charlotte Rinaldi Lestrange)
CHILDREN: none
OTHERS: none
CHARACTER HISTORY: Alexandru was born into a seemingly loveless marriage as the first son and heir to a great family name. He lacked nothing growing up apart from maybe a warm, loving enviroment. He hoped by obeying his father and completing the tasks he gave him he could become closer with him. However that did not happen. Therefore it was a shock to the little boy when, growing up, his younger sister seemed to receive just that little bit more of attention than he did, without trying. Of course Alex tried not to show his disappointment, but until this day his relationship towards his younger sister is a bit cooler and more distant than to his other siblings, except for maybe his youngest brother, as being more than 14 years his senior puts a considerable distance between them.
Once Alexandru went off to Hogwarts (the 'if' never having been a question) he found himself a group of friends which gradually built and on which he bestowed the love and kindness he'd held back so far, receiving acceptance and brotherly love in return. Over the years the group became closer and expanded slightly in number. Alexandru couldn't have wished for better friends who kept his mind off his loveless home life. In his fifth year he joined the Quidditch team as a beater, but quit again after the year was over as he rather felt like a burden for the team, no matter how hard he trained. It was quite the set-back for the teenager, not being able to persue what he wanted to, but eventually he came to terms with it that he couldn't exell at everything. Him taking part in a potions competition and scoring outstanding results might have helped him heal the scratch in his pride too.
Being a teenager he didn't much make of an effort to connect with his younger siblings, them being still so young, however he could not deny how much Micah reminded him of himself at times and it amused his friends most of all. A stranger's children were different on the other hand. At the age of 16 his father often took him to many a social gathering where he began to understand what all of it was about, unlike his younger siblings. It was on such an occasion that he remembers, quite clearly, taking care of a desolute child, just little younger than his younger brother, which had scraped its knee while playing tag. The other children having left to find another place to play, leaving their companion behind, Alexandru couldn’t find it in himself to walk past the teary child. Furthermore he had been taught to be a gentleman and this was the moment to test that new role. To distract the girl and hopefully stop her tears he placed his hat on her head while inspecting her knee, finding nothing more but a few bloody scratches. Picking her up in his arms he decided to go looking for the girl’s parents. However the mother found them before they found her and happily took care of the little one after thanking Alex.
Getting older Alexandru noticed that his father gave him more and more guidance. It filled him with pride to be introduced into the family business and he found that his knowledge in Herbology and his interests came together and made it easy to find a passion in it. With receiving more guidance his respect for his father increased as well, which might have been aided by the fact that finally he had come to terms with the nature of the relationship he had with his father.
After graduation Alex went to be guided by Mr. Ollivander in the art of wandlore. And while he had an interest for the subject, it was not the career he wanted to pursue. However the knowledge he gained there proved to be more than valuable when, just a year after graduating from Hogwarts, he took over the family business, with occasional help from his father of course. It was what he wanted to do and even though he couldn’t very well stand to be alone so often on his travels, he made do by making many new acquaintances on his journeys, but sometimes at to resort to visiting those who took money for their company. However he liked it best whenever his job took him to some remote corners of the world during the summer holidays as he would take his younger brother along, who he knew was loathe to stay home during that time. And even though there was some rivalry among them at times, they got along well due to their similar natures.
Even though most of his friends are married by now he doesn’t feel anything lacking in his life and hasn’t actively looked for a wife yet. However he heard about his father having tried to make arrangements and is rather glad that it did not work out. So far he is content to be unwed even though his age suggests otherwise.
