Christopher Locke

From Absit Omen Lexicon

Christopher Locke was a Gryffindor Student.

Chris is a student that excels more theoretically, rather than practically. Therefore, his strongest classes are those that certain more on the theoretical portions. He is afraid of failing, and consistently tries to be optimistic. Because of this, his self-esteem is decent. He is an introvert, mainly keeping to himself when with others, especially in a group. Once he feels like he has befriended someone, does his personality blossom.

Physical Description

Chris stands at 5 feet, 5 inches tall. Although he doesn't look just like his father, he does take after his father. For example, he has dark brown hair and brown eyes just like his father. However, he has a few features from his mother as well, like his small nose and his slightly raised check bones.

Working out every now and then, Chris doesn't pass up the opportunity to run. With that being said, he is relatively slim, and he does have a few muscles. However, he doesn't really care about his body too much, so he doesn't try too hard to get slim. Rather, he is just fine with taking his time exercising, believing that there is no rush to do it too quickly.

Chris does wear the Hogwarts uniform while at school, and he doesn't attempt to change it, aside from the occasionally messy tie. However, when he does get the chance, he does like to wear muggle clothing as well. He is completely fine wearing a T-shirt and jeans, preferring not to dress too spectacular, as he sees no reason too. Therefore, he wouldn't attempt to dress too nicely, unless there was a special occasion for him to do so.


Personality Description

Chris is generally studious with his classes, preferring to do the work correctly if he is able to. He has found that when it comes to theoretical work, he usually excels. However, his wand work is sometimes not up to par. With that being said, he could cast spells, but it tends to take him longer to fully master the spells than what the Professors would like. So, when it comes around time for a major practical exam, he would spend hours trying the master the spell so he doesn't fail.

Failure is a word that Chris doesn't like to use much. He prefers to be optimistic, and not let his thoughts cloud his mind. He is brave, and has a decent amount of self-confidence. When he knows he could do something well, he isn't afraid to show it. However, when he doesn't study, or just doesn't know something, he is less enthusiastic about it.

Chris tends to stay introverted and shy around others. Rather, once he becomes more friendly to one of his fellow students, then his bravity shows, and he is more willing to talk to the other students. He enjoys watching the Qudditch matches, but he doesn't see himself playing for his house's team, rather sticking to unofficial matches between friends. He likes to be outdoors, and can be consistently found outside when it is nice out.

While he isn't a class clown, Chris does like to joke around with his friends. He finds pranks entertaining and interesting, but he always manages to mess them up if he ever tries to pull one. In addition, he isn't that rebellious, usually following the rules at Hogwarts. However, he isn't afraid to break the rules if he has to. He is sympathetic to other student's feelings, and would be less likely to harm one of his fellow students. However, if he is provoked, he wouldn't be afraid to retaliate.

Chris is both brave, and he is unafraid of breaking the rules. He enjoys joking around, and finding entertainment in these jokes. Therefore, he should fit in with the rest of the Gryffindors. While he is studious, his grades sometimes suffer with his below-par wand work. So, he wouldn't fit in as a Ravenclaw. He would not be in Slytherin, as he isn't arrogant, nor is he cunning. While Hufflepuff could be the next best choice, his personality better matches that of Gryffindor.


History

Chris was born to Robert Locke and Shannon (Ellinger) Locke. Both of his parents were halfblood, effectively making him a halfblood. His father and mother both worked in the ministry. While he was a baby, he was loud, constantly crying out. His parents had no idea what to do with him sometimes. As he grew up, he quieted down, and not be as loud.

After the first two years of his life, Shannon gave birth to his twin sisters, Erica and Nicole. His parents were happy that their two daughts weren't as loud as their son when he was born. Nevertheless, he did notice that his parents were beginning to fuss around with his twin sisters more than him. So, he tried to gain attention every now and then.

After almost pulling down a bookshelf on himself, Chris finally got the attention that he wanted as books rained down around him. The bookshelf thankfully didn't hit him, rather it hit a desk next to him, narrowly missing him. After his parents helped him out of the pile of books, his parents continued to give him their attention as well, along with his two twin sisters. Besides this incident, Chris didn't act out too much anymore.

When Chris started to show signs of his magical ability, Robert and Shannon told him all about Hogwarts. His parents were proud when he received his Hogwarts letter, and eventually left on the Hogsmeade Express for Hogwarts. He had been sorted to Gryffindor, and was happy about it. He was able to recognize which classes he was the weakest at, and tried to do his best. Now, in his third year at Hogwarts, his twin sisters were starting Hogwarts at the same time.
