Basics
Name:
Kieran James O'Callaghan
Age: Fifteen
Gender: Male
Desired House/Staff Position: Gryffindor
Year: Fifth
Race: Caucasian
Weight/Height: 6'1", 150lbs
Pet: He's got a cat. It's got a dark gray pelt, practically black with yellow eyes. He's a bit skittish but very loving to people he's met before. He's very active during both day and night. Enjoys stalking but not harming the smaller animals on the castle grounds. Goes by the name Fallon.
Magic
Wand Type: English Oak with Granian Feather 10"
Patronus: He cannot cast the Patronus charm yet, but in the future his will be a cougar.
Favorite Classes:
- Care of Magical Creatures, he likes being around and caring for the animals. And, having lived on a farm back in Ireland he is accustomed to the dirty work.
- Muggle Studies, no real reason, just 'cause. He's pretty good at it too.
Least Favorite Class:
-Herbology, though he does enjoy the hands-on aspects of this class the heat of the greenhouse tends to get him distracted and anxious to leave.
Personality
Likes:
- Animals, he grew up on a farm so he enjoys their presence.
- Athletics, he's got an athletic build and tends to find ways to keep himself in shape, whether it be running around the school grounds or doing obnoxious amounts of push ups in the comfort of his dormitory. He loves competition as most teenage boys do, and enjoys challenging himself as well as others.
-Socializing, he comes from a big family so he sees the need to surround himself with friends. He's very chatty and enjoys hanging out with others doing who knows what.
Dislikes (3+):
- Snakes, being from Ireland he suffers from a severe underexposure to them. And to be honest just finds them creepy
-Reading, it's not that he can't read, he just chooses not to. He thinks that if it's that crucial someone should just tell him.
-Studying, he feels like if it was important he would remember it. In the most extreme case he will study for a time period not likely to exceed a half an hour usually only for final exams or midterms.
Strengths:
-Good memory, he's got an eye for details which comes in handy with his aversion to reading and studying. He's usually able to skate through his classes because of this skill.
-Very athletic, nice build, good stamina, endurance, etc. Would come in handy for something, say a Quidditch game or a Tri Wizard Tournament, but not much else.
-Very social and talkative, he's quite the friendly lad. Making friends comes easy to him.
-Good sense of humor, he's very witty, comical, and sarcastic. He's not afraid to say what he really thinks which he usually manages to get away with.
Weaknesses:
-Stubborn, he's not one to change his opinion without an argument. He could know he's wrong and still not budge on a matter just so he wouldn't have to admit it.
-Cocky, if he gets that spell right just one time where you don't you can bet he's not going to let you forget it. But if the situation was vice-versa you can be damn sure he'll never bring it up.
-Easily distracted, not the best listener, but he'll listen if he's interested. It takes a bit more for him to be able to completely focus in class, but he manages.
Physical Description:
Bat 'outta Ireland and it was obvious. Skin so fair it was a wonder how he managed to go outside without combusting. Rust colored freckles dotted his arms, legs and face. Bright blue eyes seemed to shine behind auburn locks that stuck out at all angles. No matter how hard he tried his hair wouldn't keep out of his face so he'd given up and learned to live with his obscured vision. He stood a nice 6'1" and was a tad lanky, what body mass he did have was primarily muscle. And to top it all off he's got a nice toothy grin smacked right in the middle of his face.
Personality Outline:
Beyond his looks his Irish heritage shone through at every possible point. From his accent, to his stubborn but well-meant actions, and his habit of sticking curse words where they probably shouldn't go. He's incredibly friendly, usually shouting out a hello to whoever he may pass in the corridors.
Background
Mother:
Darby Ann O'Callaghan (nee Catherwood), age forty-eight, housewife
Father:
Roland Dwyre O'Callaghan, age fifty, farmer
Siblings:
Alice and Avery, identical twins age eight
Brion, age eleven
Cameron, age seventeen
Edward, age twenty, works as a bartender in Diagon Alley
Cass (now Donaghy), age twenty-two, housewife
James Donaghy, age twenty-four, occupation unknown, husband of Cass (brother-in-law)
Country of Origin: Ireland, of course!
Heritage: Pureblood
History:
Kieran was born on a farm located in northern Ireland. He's the middle child of seven, all of whom are relatively close in age, in order none of them are more than four years apart. Growing up on a farm meant chores. He knows the definition of hard work despite the minimalistic, almost non existent effort put towards his studies. He's also not afraid to get his hands dirty, caring for animals can barely be considered a chore for him, more of a pass time or a hobby. He's got a great sense of humor thanks to his older siblings pranks and constant joking. He's close with all of his brothers and sisters despite the fact that as of now they are scattered all over Europe. Along with his siblings, he's got a mess of friends back in Ireland who think he's been sent off to a preparatory school. Back at home he enjoyed many physical activities from back yard wrestling, to long afternoon jogs, to the occasional rugby match with his friends. His cat, Fallon, has been with him for around six years. He was originally purchased as a 'family' pet but he grew so attached to Kieran in his first few days in the O'Callaghan household that it was decided he would just be Kieran's. Although he misses his family and friends back in Ireland Kieran looks forward to furthering his wizarding education at Hogwarts.
