| Bio: |
Full name: Draco Lucius Malfoy Nickname(s): None, although, he is occasionally referred to as “dragon” by his mother, and rarely his father—only in private, of course. Date of birth: June 5, 1980 Age as of 2003: 23 Hometown: Wiltshire, England Bloodline: Pureblood Political Affiliation: Once Draco and his family were the most prominent of the Death Eater families, but now Draco is more neutral than anything else. Wand: Hawthorn Familiar: Eagle Owl Appearance Hair: Draco’s hair is platinum blonde. As a child, he wore it sleeked back, but in his teenage years, Draco wore his hair loosely. Eyes: His eyes are a cold, gray color, almost perfectly matching his father’s eyes. Complexion: Draco has always been extremely pale, even as a child. Height: Draco’s about five and a half feet tall. Build: Draco has the perfect Seeker build: short and skinny. While many Seekers are usually muscular, Draco doesn’t fit into this category, especially not nearly 5 years after graduation from Hogwarts. Distinguishing features: Due to his own pureblood heritage, Draco owns a pale, pointed face with a rather narrowed nose. His platinum blonde hair is also a trademark of the Malfoy line, and even the way that he dresses is something that’s recognized as strictly “Malfoy” by many. He’s by no means handsome, but his features tend to scream ‘aristocrat’. Style of dress: Draco elects to dress in proper wizarding wear the majority of the time, and the clothing is usually given to him by either of his parents. He proudly will wear whatever they give him, as most of what he wears happens to be in Slytherin colors. PB: Tom Felton and/or Boyd Holbrook, as the previous player used Boyd. Family Financial status: Extremely wealthy. Members: Father: Lucius Abraxas Malfoy. Born in April 1954, pureblood, Death Eater, Hogwarts Governor and also is Draco’s father. Draco practically worships his father, even in recent times, although, he doesn’t do so as colorfully as he had when he’d been younger. ... Mother: Narcissa Malfoy. 1955. Pureblood, no true political affiliation although it’s quite obvious that she’d side with her family above all else, no current occupation, and she is Draco’s mother. ... Sibling(s): No siblings. ... Other significant relative(s): Bellatrix Black Lestrange is Draco’s aunt, although she’s the only other most significant relative. Many of the pureblood lines are connected in some way to the Malfoys and this list would be a page and a half long if I were to list every single significant other relative to Draco. (Since this game has an active Lucius and Narcissa—which is absolutely amazing—I am more than willing to edit any part of this history to better fit the history of their already-established characters!) History Childhood | Before Hogwarts Draco was born the only son to Lucius Malfoy and Narcissa Black on dreary June 5th in 1980 in Wiltshire, England. His life, despite popular belief, has always been relatively easy. With two rich, talented parents, Draco was practically given everything that he asked for from birth. He was never a deprived child, nor attention starved like the media has often claimed of him. His parents were both first class, aristocratic wizards who had come from long lines of purebloods. Their marriage was arranged by their families, but eventually, the two wizards grew to love each other enough to have a son. From an early age, Draco was trained in the magical arts. Lucius drilled him on the basic spells as soon as he was old enough to get his first wand. He was taught how to fly by a professional, and permitted to fly around the manor as often as he desired. Draco quickly grew attached to the idea of flying, and began to practice Quidditch with a few of the professionals from Durmstrang that his father had hired. He was taught proper etiquette as soon as he could walk, and was the guest of honour at several pureblood parties. His father, no doubt, raised Draco as if the boy was his pride and joy, simply because that's what Draco was to Lucius. He meant everything to Lucius, just as Draco adored his father in every aspect of his life. His father made certain that Draco only received the best in everything, and that he only performed the best in everything. If Draco made a mistake in school work, he was forced to do the same exercise five times over, then granted another chance to get it right only after he succeeded all of those five times. It was through this harsh training to be the best that Draco did, indeed, become a perfectionist when it came to learning. He developed a fondness for difficult subjects such as potions or ancient runes, and detested such things as Herbology. Draco doesn't count divination as something worth studying at all, and he would never be caught dead in a Muggle Studies classroom. Throughout his childhood, Narcissa saw to it that Draco only interacted with pureblood children. She purposefully watched over the pureblood children of the Ministry workers on rare occasions, also aiding in Draco's wide range of social capabilities. When it came time for Draco to attend a former school, Narcissa won the argument. Lucius had wanted Draco to attend Durmstrang, where he could receive a proper education, but Narcissa wanted her son closer to home. In the end, Lucius gave in and permitted his son to attend Hogwarts, though he was twice as harsh on the boy's grades as he would have been had Draco been attending Durmstrang. Hogwarts, Lucius explained, simply didn't have the same values of education, as did Durmstrang. Draco quickly excelled at Hogwarts on all things. Adolescence | During Hogwarts During his first year at Hogwarts, Draco offered his hand in friendship to none other than the famous Harry Potter, at the advice of his father. Lucius knew of the political importance that Harry would have on their world and had instructed his son to do whatever necessary to befriend him first. Furious to be turned away in favor of Ronald Weasley, Draco had decided on that day that if he could not be Harry’s friend, he would make his life a living hell. Draco had offered friendship by his father’s suggestion, and his father would only see it as another failure for Draco to be turned away for a Weasley. So began the famous rivalry between Draco Malfoy and Harry Potter. Draco constantly challenged Harry, trying to prove who was the better wizard. On the first day of flying lessons, Draco stole Neville Longbottom’s Remembrall after Neville’s disastrous first flight attempt. Harry demanded that Draco return it because it didn’t belong to him, but the Slytherin saw this as an opportunity to challenge Harry. He skillfully flew around and tossed the Remembrall downward once he was high enough in the air. Harry, however, ruined this for Draco as well. The Boy Who Lived successfully caught the ball and, upon being spotted by Minerva McGonagall, named Harry the Gryffindor Seeker. It only added to Draco’s aggravation over the infamous hero. It was Draco who, at the end of his first year, caught Harry, Ron and Hermione heading out to Hagrid’s hut one evening. Seeing a dragon inside the hut, Draco automatically reported the incident to McGonagall, thinking that he finally managed to get Harry and company into some trouble. He was furious, however, to find that he too would receive detention in the Forbidden Forest. Second year, Draco was admitted onto the Slytherin Quidditch team as its Seeker, further adding in his rivalry against Harry. Nearly every game resulted in the boys fighting head to head to win the Snitch. Yet, each game ended with Harry defeating Draco some how. It only increased Draco’s fury with the Boy Who Lived. During his second year, Draco was requested by his father to keep a low profile as the Chamber of Secrets had been reopened. His father, a Hogwarts Governor, did not want to sully the Malfoy name. Obeying his father’s request, Draco kept himself as quiet as he knew how during the events that passed his second year at Hogwarts. His third year only continued Draco’s efforts to compete against Harry Potter. Draco’s well-known for attempting to appear as a Dementor upon his discovery that Harry fainted when seeing one. Draco, unfortunately, wasn’t privy to the knowledge that Harry had already learned the Patronus charm, and was yet again fooled by the boy hero. Yet there were more events that happened in Draco's life that were well known throughout Hogwarts. During Draco’s fourth year, the fake Mad-Eye Moody turned Draco into a ferret when the teacher caught Draco insulting Harry. It was meant as a punishment, but it gave Ron the chance to finally tease Draco about something. He was then known as “The Amazing Bouncing Ferret” among the Gryffindors and other houses at Hogwarts. His fifth year proved to be rather slow, until the battle at the Department of Mysteries. Lucius had been given a specific order to catch hold of a certain Prophecy during the battle. Lucius failed, however, and was shortly imprisoned to Azkaban. Things changed, however, during Draco's sixth year. Something happened which ruined his perfect life. Because of something that his father had done, the Dark Lord himself punished Draco. His task was to destroy Albus Dumbledore, and if he should fail, his family would suffer. It was just about the worst insult that the Dark Lord could have concocted. Throughout Draco’s sixth year, he worked with the Death Eaters in efforts to bring about the downfall of Albus Dumbledore. It was Draco who assisted the Death Eaters in entering Hogwarts. But the aspiring wizard learned fast enough that he couldn’t continue down this path alone. Also aware that he couldn’t share the knowledge with even his closest Slytherin companions, Draco found solace in Moaning Myrtle. The Slytherin’s personal health was slowly diminishing as he constantly worried over the task that Voldemort had assigned him. He was terrified of the Dark Lord, but Draco was still a Malfoy. He would not go against everything that his father worked so hard to accomplish. Romantic: (Past and current involvements and the length/seriousness of the relationships.) Draco has not had too many past or current romantic involvements. Most of his youth was spent working toward either his academic or his political goals. His most significant relationship is of that with Pansy Parkinson, his fellow Slytherin. His relationship with Pansy, however, is more of a political position rather than a personal interest. He’s grown to fancy her and to respect her throughout the past year, however. At his father’s suggestion, he’s looked into pureblooded females from wealthy families, although none yet have truly caught Draco’s eye. He would only want the perfect betrothed, wanting to not only create a name for himself, but to impress his father. Former House: Slytherin Personality First impression conveyed: Draco comes across as cold, aloof and proud to anyone who has not yet to meet him. To strangers he usually demonstrates an air of confidence, purposefully keeping his chin lifted in the air and his eyes always upward. Draco walks with a purpose, having learned from his father that one’s first impression is always most important in life. To those who are of older generations and know his father well, Draco often appears as a carbon copy of his father. He proudly represents that impression throughout his life. Character strengths: Draco’s pride is what keeps him alive, although some would consider the Malfoy pride to be more of a weakness than anything else. He’s determined and headstrong, rarely stepping down from a direct challenge or a blow to his own personal self worth. His almost uncanny desire to stay alive has helped him through more than one situation. Draco’s unusual closeness with his family, as well, has aided Draco in keeping his sanity over the most recent years. Draco’s magic, as well, has always been an inborn talent. Partially because of this natural talent, Draco has excelled in the art of Legilmency (and thanks to training from his godfather). Draco’s strong desire to please his father above all else is another strength of his that has effected many areas in his life thus far, such as him earning a spot on the Quidditch team, being made prefect, or even Draco joining the Inquisitorial Squad. Character weaknesses: As stated above, many would argue that Draco’s pride could also be considered a weakness of his own personality. Too many times Draco would be far too proud to turn toward assistance when he truly needs it, such as during the end of sixth year. Draco would rather wear himself down to almost nothing rather than asking for help from anyone, be it teacher or friend. His father never needed to ask for assistance, so why should he require to do so? Draco’s arrogance is also another weakness of his. He won’t hesitate to tell someone else that he’s better than them, and he doesn’t always see how he can affect certain people based on what he says. Draco also has a certain air of uncertainty with his life, and to make up for this, he tries to be dominating in certain other areas of his life. He does whatever necessary to be as perfect as possible, especially with his grades and social status. With his classes, as well, Draco no doubt put full effort into his studies in attempt to control some small part of his life. On top of his own uncertainty of his future, Draco is also fairly insecure about himself. His act of confidence is mostly for show for others, for the public that his father taught him how to handle. Inwardly, Draco struggles to perfect himself in all areas. He doesn’t accept or like failure, and anything less than perfect or being the best clearly upsets this pureblood. In response to this part of his personality, Draco will typically insult those who are perfect in areas where he’s not, or he’ll find other ways of thoroughly insulting that person just to prove that he can be better than them at something. Sense of humour: In his childhood, Draco did have an interesting sense of humour. He did what he could to impress his father by laughing at the mistakes of others and insulting those of lesser blood. As he grew older, however, Draco only laughed at those things when he knew who was watching him. If they mattered and had an important connection to his father, he laughed. If they didn’t, he would carry on as if nothing happened at all. Now, Draco doesn’t have much to laugh at. He finds things ironic, such as how Granger tended to do far better than he did in school even though she was just a Muggleborn, and the fact that his father had been so upset over it when he had been younger. Other Information Ambitions: With everything that’s happened in Draco’s life, he’s changed his ambitions throughout his early education. Many of Draco’s ambitions come back to owning up to what his father thinks Draco should be capable of achieving. At one point, Draco inspired to become a professional Quidditch player. During his fifth and sixth years, Draco was just happy to be able to live to see tomorrow. As he entered his seventh year, however, Draco found himself aspiring to never stoop as low as he had the summer before again. Draco knows he thinks that he’s better than most, but stooping low enough to take another life just to survive is far too low for him, a Malfoy. He knows that he cannot just turn around and back out of his situation, but he knows that something must be done to change the course that he’s on. After leaving Hogwarts with top honours from the school, Draco aspired to open up a potions shop. Potions have always been one of Draco’s best subject areas, and it was easily an area where he could excel, even with the difficult subject. Owning his own shop now in Diagon, Draco’s gradually begins to make a name for himself as one of the newest Potions Masters. Wanting to exceed Snape’s reputation, however, Draco also elected to additions to his shop, including books on Arithmancy, Astronomy, Ancient Runes and the necessary materials to perform in those subject areas. Most recently, Draco’s been looking at expanding his shop to the Muggle world. After all, if Muggles discovered wizards, then Draco may as well make money off them. At least then, they would be good for something. Hobbies: There are many things that are still the same in Draco’s life, and those are mostly the things that he enjoys to do the most. Draco enjoys studying, unlike many of his fellow students. Learning is precious to Draco, as he’s already had a taste of what the real world can be like. He enjoys flying, stargazing, and even taking walks at night whenever he can manage it. He finds the evening a relaxing, peaceful time that actually allows him to think and clear his mind. Sexuality: Personally, I cannot envision Draco as an openly gay character. I realize that at least one previous player of Draco had him as a gay character, but don’t wish to completely destroy the plots used by the other players if avoidable. However, my stand on Draco is that the most he would ever be, if not straight, would be a closet bi-sexual. I could envision him indulging in his own personal fantasies, but never telling anyone about that side of him. Patronus shape: Unknown What happy thought does your character use to cast a Patronus? If your character cannot yet cast a Patronus, what memories have they tried? Draco cannot even begin to attempt to cast a Patronus, though if he were to try with memories, Draco more than likely would picture a memory with his mother. Boggart: Himself, dead. | |||||||||
