MAGICAL BASICS
Wand: Birch, dragon heartstring, eleven in.[/color]
Patronus: Louis' patronus takes the form of a swan. His best memory, while maybe being a tad shallow, is when, as a small boy, he and his family were walking through La Rochelle, and a homeless woman shouted, 'les anges sont venus à la terre!' (the angels have come to earth!) This idea, this simple idea, that a simple homeless woman on the street could recognize his family's true beauty, made him extremely happy.

Mirror of Erised: It's kind of an odd thing to want out of life, but when he looks into the Mirror of Erised, he sees a slight silhouette- it's impossible to tell who it is, or what she looks like, but when he looks at her, he knows she's beautiful.[/color]
Boggart:He sees each of his family members, (a different one every time) mostly the female ones, lying in a ditch, with their faces hurt beyond recognition. Sometimes they've been hexed, sometimes they've been bludgeoned, sometimes they've been cut, but in every one, they've lost their looks in their deaths. He's yet to see himself.[/color]
PERSONALITY
Strengths: manipulation, intelligence, making people feel good about themselves, making people feel bad about themselves, dry comments, appreciation of beauty, work ethic, quite philosophical at times, analyzing literature, he's got quite a good sense of fashion, fluent in french, not very materialistic.[/color]
Weaknesses: vain, bit of a thug, actually, can't truly create to save his life, he's not too good at seeing the outcomes of situations (he's quite nearsighted in this manner), narrow-minded (in some areas- mostly social ones), complete lightweight, actually terrible at having normal conversations, hypocritical, he's extremely condescending towards people, and refuses to change his first point of view on them, twisted sense of morality.[/color]
Likes: jazz, beautiful things and people, reading- mostly classic texts and old french literature, intelligent people, understanding things, having quiet time (just most quiet places, actually), the library, muggle video games (there are a few muggles in his area, and he dominates as princess peach).[/color]
Dislikes: things that aren't pleasing to the eye, stupid people, pop music, parties (he hates being out of control, and put that together with the copious amounts of alcohol present at such shindigs, the amount of idiotic people, and his lightweightedness, you get one angry louis), when a class is interrupted by a stupid question, the fact that despite his beauty, his reputation has gotten ahead of him, and he thus cannot get a single date, and he absolutely despises shepherd's pie.[/color]
Overall personality:
Overall, Louis is a French man- despite being born in England. He has an appreciation for the finer things in life- beauty, intelligence, listening to light jazz while reading classic literature. Unfortunately, in modern times at Hogwarts, those things don't come easily. He's plagued by unfortunate-looking, booger-eating (well, not really, but you get the point) imbeciles, and, well, he treats them accordingly. Once he sees someone do something ridiculous, he tends to judge them based on that for the rest of the time he knows them. Unfortunately for most people, Louis' definition of ridiculous pretty much encompasses all things.
After his brief venture as a thief in La Rochelle, Louis figured out that he is very good at getting people to do what he wants. Sometimes he uses his natural charm- he has a way of flattering people with his presence- sometimes he uses his words- he's very good at figuring out which words are necessary in a situation to provoke a desired reaction- sometimes he uses threats- he's quite powerful with magic, extremely intelligent, and that combined with an angry glare can scare people into doing whatever he wants. Whatever form his manipulation takes, it usually works, and when it does, people are putty in his hands. Luckily for them, he rarely wants anything too terrible- back when he was a thief, all he wanted was money. And he didn't even really want it, it was more about the thrill, and "punishing" people's stupidity. He doesn't do it anymore, because he's recognized it as juvenile.
He's kind of quiet and aloof, because deep down inside, he knows that this constant belittling of people isn't kind, and his various relatives' lessons on always being nice to other people did sink in a little bit, even if he doesn't exactly live by them. He doesn't want to be cruel, but in his eyes, he's helping these people- if he points out that they're being ridiculous, then maybe they'll stop, and they'll be better members of society. He soon realized that people don't tend to differentiate between constructive criticism and cruelty, so now he restricts most of his judgements to small asides. It's a passive aggressive approach, but it's the only way he can make it through the day without screaming.
He's not very good with people when he actually likes them. He's so out of touch with how normal people function, he never seems to be able to figure out how to have fun and socialize. This leads to much teasing on his family and friends' part about how he's just an awkward little boy on the inside. In some ways, he is.[/color]
PERSONALITY
Mother: Fleur Delacour-Weasley. He loves his mother very much, and is a complete mama's boy. They click on so many levels, in so many ways, because they've both got the same way of seeing things- they appreciate the beauty in things and all that. To be honest, he judges girls that he could potentially fancy by whether they measure up to his mother, which is completely ridiculous, after all, because she's part-veela, but Louis is just stubborn like that. [/color]
Father: Bill Weasley. He's not as close to his dad, mostly because they don't' have much in common. He loves him dearly, of course, but they've just never been able to click- mostly because Louis is kind of on the more feminine side of males, and Bill is on the other end of the spectrum. When Louis got to like video games, Bill was thrilled.[/color]
Siblings: Victoire Weasley. Louis and Victoire are close in the same way he is close to Fleur. They wrote while she was at Hogwarts, and he always admired her ability to write long scrolls in slanting, elegant script. It's mostly thanks to her that he can write good essays now- he expended a lot of effort writing scrolls upon scrolls in response to Victoire, and trying to make them look just as good as hers, and so now he can knock off a scroll and a half essay in about twenty minutes.
Dominique Weasley. Louis loves his sister, and would protect her until the end, much like all of the members of his family. However, there's a good amount of tension between them, because both of them are the opposite of what each other likes in people- she's loud and rebellious, and he's quiet and cold. He deeply admires her love of writing, because he can't create things for himself. [/color]
Other: Louis holds the rest of his family in high regard- especially Rose, as he sees her as being one of the most beautiful ones outside of his immediate family. He'd defend them to the nines, and while he might gently criticize them for doing stupid things, he'd never be as harsh to them as he would be towards the rest of the world.
He has a pet siamese cat called Rhume.[/color]
History: Louis was born, the third of his siblings, on February 12, 2006. His was an easy birth, most likely because he was Fleur's third child, and they were able to return home from St. Mungoes within a day of the birth. He was named Louis after Fleur's father, and Cédric as the french form of the noble boy who died in the Goblet of the Fire. His childhood was an easy one, as he much preferred to quietly listen to his mother play piano than run around screaming with Dom.
When he was five, Victoire went off to Hogwarts. He missed her terribly, as she'd always been willing to sit and read to him, as opposed to forcing him to run and swim like Dominique. Victoire's long letters forced him to learn how to read and write very quickly, and while his letters were horribly written at first, by the time he was eight, he could scratch his way through cursive, and could write a decent-lengthed letter. He was quick to rub this in Dom's face, as she could only write in print. But by this time, she was close friends with Emilia Gozzi, so she didn't take his teasing as seriously. This caused him to be very bored, and so he decided he needed a best friend. Unfortunately, they lived far away from all civilization at Shell Cottage, and their closest neighbours were Dom's new friend Emilia and a bunch of muggles in the other direction (and Louis didn't really want to walk seven miles just to play with Muggles.)
So, the next summer, when they went to their home in La Rochelle, France (Louis was nine), he was determined to make friends. He went to Les FrancoFolies de La Rochelle festival, and almost was stolen from by a scrawny, brown-haired boy. However, Louis caught him, and since it was the first time anyone had ever caught the boy, who introduced himself as Mathieu, the boy immediately invited Louis to come and meet the whole thieves gang. Louis learned their ways for a while, though they initially disapproved, since he was from one of the richer families in La Rochelle. By the end of that summer, he was quite good at pickpocketing, and even better at small scams. He kept in touch with Mathieu for the rest of the year, (secretly, because he didn't want his parents to know he was friends with a thief) so when he returned the next summer, Mathieu deemed him ready for his first long con. He proved to be best at this long con business, better than he'd been at any of the other kinds of theft. So, for the next three years (until right before his third year at Hogwarts), he pulled off long cons with the rest of the gang. Louis knew it was wrong, but honestly, Mathieu and the other kids were better people than half the people that they stole from, so they deserved the money, right? And if the people were idiotic enough to get stolen from, they deserved it. However, he made one mistake, and the whole thing came tumbling down: he stole from his Grand-pére Gaston. He didn't mean to- he pickpocketed a tall man in a trench-coat, and the man turned around, and he recognized him as Grand-mére's husband! The man snarled something about "stupid grimy kids with their hands in his pockets" and Louis bolted before his uncle could recognize him. This realization that he was that close to getting caught forced him out of the game, even if he did keep in touch with Mathieu for many years.
But running parallel to all this was Louis' school life. He was sorted into Ravenclaw almost immediately, though the sorting hat did consider Slytherin- mostly because his standards in life were based off of beauty and intelligence, two things that matter a lot in Ravenclaw house. At school, Louis quickly grew to be a handsome boy, and those girls far enough removed from him not to know his personality fell in love with his beautifully structured face. However, Louis had grown up knowing that he was beautiful, he'd grown up surrounded by beautiful cousins, and basically, the bars were raised. Unless you could stand up to his standard of beauty, he wouldn't even dream of talking to you. The same went for intelligence. He became a teacher's darling, with his slight accent, charming voice, and the undetectable Veela aura he gave off. Now, however, he's driven away most people with his cold way of being, and he sort of hates it. He wants human companionship. He just doesn't know how to get it. [/color]
