Perseus Stewart
Seventeen May 14, 2003 Student 7th Year Slytherin Pureblood Aberdeen, Scotland | PERSONALITY: Pompous and popular in name mostly, Percy is someone people want to be friends with, but he’s not someone people actually like. He seems to think he is above the law, above others and looks down on people who are thought to be lesser than he is, mostly because they are different. He appears confident, extroverted, a leader, and someone who appears to be put together and the ideal student. He’s none of these things. He’s not as confident as he lets people believe. He’s obsessed with his public image, needs and seeks constant reassurance (especially in the form of approval from his peers and their families) and values social status, even if it means lying to bring his higher up the social ladder than it realistically is. Percy is angry, resentful and even envious of his sister, Jessica (formerly brother, John) and his cousin, Leander, for their ability to disregard the family image and be themselves while he must now shoulder all the added weight and expectations of the family because of their shortcomings. He wished John could just be John and Leander could just date a bloody girl instead of this messed up situation with Wolfgang (of course, he does not know about Wolfgang at present). Because of all this pressure, the constant need to perform and be perfection, Percy cannot allow himself to unravel and has turned to various medications in order to help him cope – some of them becoming an addiction for him. The essence of Percy is that he will NOT fail his family and he WILL make the Stewart name one to be proud of at any costs. ASPIRATION: Percy has no personal aspirations for himself because he is under so much pressure to be the best pureblood and uphold the beliefs and image of the Stewart family where his cousins, siblings and even some aunts and uncles have failed to do so. He’s the hope of the clan. He feels it rests upon his shoulders to bring about the change the family needs so they can break free of the chains of secrecy and lies that are holding them back causing them to have to swindle and cheat to protect the family name. Percy knows, whether irrational it might be, that it’s up to him to same the family from ruin. | LIKES: - Quidditch - Vintage Whiskey (don’t tell his folks) - Dabbling in Dark Arts - Girls - Chocolate and Vanilla pudding mixed with whipped cream on top - Fall Harvest Season (it means the hard work is almost over) - Completing Word Searches (he finds them relaxing and always has a small word search book on his person) DISLIKES: - Parties (but knows they are important for his reputation) - The old treehouse on the property - Dust (it’s an allergy) - Bees (it’s also an allergy) - Herbology (plants are boring and he lives on a farm so he already knows a lot about them) - His Brother |

CHILDHOOD. | Like most Stewarts who are born in name, Perseus was born on the farm; Elysian Estates, alongside his twin brother, Johnathan. It’s not surprising twins came to Roderick and Heather after years of infertility and struggle. Finally, it paid off. They got twins who shone brighter than anything they could have ever dreamed off. At least, in the beginning that’s how it was, before they knew any different, or were any different. It’s a beautiful morning in May when Percy and John came into existence and would discover that life as a Stewart is much more deceptive and dark than the world believes. And they will soon be charged with keeping all those secrets. Until then, Percy got to run free among the crops and animals. He got to play Quidditch in the fields. And he got to learn a heck of a lot of things from his older cousins. Most importantly, though, Percy got to grow up alongside his brother, John. They were inseparable. Elder members of the family compared them to that of Dean and Alice Stewart, and as far as Percy knows, cousin Dean is the sun that everything revolves around. All the adults talk of nothing but the great things he is doing to procure purity within Hogwarts. Percy knows that is his destiny; one day. He doesn’t know that, just like Dean and Alice drifted apart, he and John will have their own falling out, but that love for one’s twin is never faltering. Until then, until he comes of age to attend school, Percy is content to run free, to help with the care of the farm and the upkeep. He’s oblivious to the truth of why they all work so hard. |
SCHOOL YEARS. | Eleven. Ah. Eleven. The year in which they begin their schooling. Percy expects he will be sent to Hogwarts but instead, he is surprised to be sent to Durmstrang along with his brother. Percy has an easier time fitting into Durmstrang. He’s just more sociable. There’s nothing odd about Percy and he uses everything he’s learned growing up to make friends, be liked and his ego only grows when it works to the betterment of his life. It’s too bad John doesn’t have the same luck. His brother’s only saving grace is being Percy’s brother. Percy’s friends are rich and powerful kids like the Kessinger boy, whereas John’s friends are not and it’s obvious their family is not impressed with the way things are progressing. Despite their differences, and different friends, John and Percy remain close and even during the summer he defends his brother against their parents trying to tell them that John is just figuring himself out and reassuring them that Percy will make sure the family is embarrassed and set things straight. Even at a young age, Percy has been the one looking out for everyone. It’s wild. So, second year comes around and Percy helps John work out, fly, get on the Quidditch team and things seem to be better. Their parents seem to be happier. John is not and Percy doesn’t know what to do. Eventually, there’s going to come a point where Percy cannot help his brother. Eventually things get better. Percy is stuck being the mole between John and their parents but it’s difficult. Third year comes with a lot of new things for Percy. He’s not interested in Quidditch which is disappointing for the family, but he’s certainly interested in girls. One girl in particular who happens to be the sibling of his best mate – whom he’s finally convinced that John is all right and has been welcomed into the group. Things seem perfect. They aren’t. Nothing is ever going to be perfect again. Percy experiences a series of heartbreaks sooner than most in his young life. His group of friends are not as accepting of his brother as he thought he and he has to finally make a choice. John or the chance to help the family. Choosing is hard but he knows that John’s sacrifice will be for the betterment of them all and Percy chooses the friends he has made, turning his back on his brother – or more turning a blind eye to the misery being instilled in John’s life because it’s for the greater good John changes. Percy changes. Things happen. Next thing Percy knows he’s being shipped off to Hogwarts alongside a figure he does not recognize and he’s forced to tell the world that his brother has died. In John’s place, Percy now has a sister and he can’t tell anyone outside of the family what actually happened to John. |

RP SAMPLE (200 words min.)
Lucianna had upgraded since she last sat in this location. A year ago, she had been sitting on the dirty ground in a dress torn to pieces and filled with mud stains. Now, she had a small table, a folding chair, her hair is wrapped up upon her head and she’s got a crystal ball before her. She’s much more pronounced and noticeable than last year, and she’s much more prepared this year for someone to come by seeking their future to be read. And Lucianna is the real deal, even if the prophecies she has fabricated are not quite so real – they could be – but likely were not. She could not predict when her abilities would show her a true prophecy but ever since the interrogation, Lucianna wanted to feel like she is contributing more to the people who had taken her in.
It’s not long before someone takes an interest in the eclectic girl sitting with her crystal ball. At first, the woman scoffs at the sight of Lucianna and says. “What are you trying to sell, dear? People aren’t dense enough to fall for a fortune teller.”
“Oh. I am not a fortune teller.” Lucianna’s innocence is her greatest quality in all this. She actually looks like she believes what she is saying. And none of the next sentence is a lie. “I am a prophet. It’s very different don’t you know?”
“A prophet?” The woman scoffed and walked away muttering something about children wasting her time. Lucianna sighed. So much for that idea. Perhaps she needed to seem more legit. Dionysos or Tadhg could help her there...
