Age: sixteen.

APPEARANCE
Play By: hunter parrish.
Style: Really, if its lying around somewhere than I've probably worn it. Picking up sweaters and jacket tends to be the thing that I own more of than the typical t-shirts and jeans, and I'm not opposed to wearing purple either. I simply like the easy thing, not to say that I'm completely unfashionable or won't wear something that doesn't look good on me. It just means that the easier it is for me to put on and take off the better it is, as far as I'm concerned anyway.
Distinguishing Marks: Nope, none at the moment simply don't see the appeal in tattoos and piercings.
PERSONALITY
Likes: fruits, music, quidditch, open spaces, new experiences, adventure, balloons, bright colors, pranks/jokes, and laughing.
Dislikes: geese, crows, seagulls, fishing, green, awkward moments, failing, being mocked, and being unable to accomplish something.
Boggart: most birds, but especially geese, no really those things don't do well in his boat.
Patronus: penguin
Strengths: light hearted, easy going, and playful.
Weaknesses: lack of seriousness, prankster, and ungoal oriented.
Personality:
Laughter and simply having that easy time is something that I have always strived for, something which I feel should be apart of everyones lives. Not all this annoying doom and gloom that comes over people more often than not, I mean I figure that life throws you those curves balls so that we can find a way to move around them. So I figure that the best way to go about doing just that is to have a good time, to laugh as much as possible and never look back to the things and times that have hurt us. Now, I can't go saying that that I'm always so...perky or happy go lucky but I simply don't like focusing on things that impact me in a way that could be considered harmful or unhappy, I suppose. And maybe that does make me more likely to laugh things off and try to play things off as a joke, but this is really the only way that I know how to deal with things that could be considered rather unpleasant.
On top of that, which I suppose could be consider a fault or a positive thing about myself, depending on who you asked. I'm the sort of guy that would rather sit around with a close group of friends than go out and try to be the most social person around. Or go to some overcrowded party with a bunch of people that I only kinda, sorta, know. Not to say that I'm completely against them, I would rather sit down and have a beer and watch a movie or something along the lines of that. So I guess you could say that along with that easy going factor that is...well, myself, you could said that overall I'm just a laid back sort of dude. I'm not about to go jumping up and down all over the place because of something happening or because my favorite music band has suddenly appeared. Sure, I get pumped up, but I'd rather keep it inside rather than letting explode all over the place like some people would probably like.
Something which shall always be one of my favorite pass times will be the fact that I love the look on peoples faces when they get struck by one of my pranks. I don't really do ones that could be considered all that dark or cruel, because I'm simply not that sort of person who would go around and do something like that. But hey, that doesn't mean I would go doing something like this would stop me from pushing some of the boundaries that people have got, the boundaries that I've got for myself. I like pushing them and seeing what will happen with something and seeing if I can make the prank even bigger and better the next time I go around doing it. And hey, I would at least like to think that upon expanding myself and my abilities it shows that I'm able to adapt and improve...So when the teachers try to lecture me on it I can go a head and throw that bit of information back at them and hopefully quiet them down for a little while.
Now, not to say that everything about me is peachy keen, because I've got my faults and things that I should really work on and one of those would have to be the sort of competition pumping through me. I blame it on the people I grew up around and with, seeing as how winning was always something that was praised. And frankly, nothing makes me feel better than getting praised for something that I really worked at, whether it be something with music or if it is the Quidditch that I play. When it comes to these two things particularly, I tend to be more aggressive and someone who people tend to avoid rather than swarm around. Since when I lose or don't do as well as I would have liked, I tend to beat myself up, which in turn often makes me lash out at those around me. Its not one of my finer points, but hey, when it comes to those things I've worked at for years, especially when it comes to my father, I want to do well and prove that I am, in fact, Oliver Wood's son, but also my own person.
This alone, is probably the most important thing to be and these are the people that I would never be able to live without. And that is of course, my family. I mean sure, girls are important and friends are as well, but in my book nothing will top the importance of family and being able to take care of them. It was something that was passed down to me growing up and it is one of those things that when it comes time to start my own, I would want to pass on down to them as well. And sure, people can call me a momma's boy if they want to, but its not my fault and shouldn't be considered a fault at all just because I don't have a problem putting pictures up of my mom, and my sister and of course my father as well when it comes to the dorms. And for me this is something that won't ever change, family will always be number one and if I ever find that right girl hopefully that is something that she'll understand.

General History:
Life growing up is something that I would consider rather light hearted, peaceful, it was even blissful for a good amount of those younger years. We had plenty of land to play and run around on, and even though there was a large age gap between Alison and myself it hardly meant that we didn't play together. Or really, have myself manage to get her to do what I wanted with some of my puppy dog eyes as a little kid, and I can still remember all those fun times that we had on that land and that sense of family togetherness. I mean, even after we moved when I was about eight years old, to the states there was still that sense of togetherness. I was only eight at the time, so I don't think it was hard for me to let go of the friends that I had made over the years, not as long as I had my family by my side.
Instead of going to Hogwarts when I was eleven years old I went to the school in New York that my sister went to as well, where I got to learn my own skills. Practicing things that I would have never thought I would have learned if it wasn't for the fact that I too, had picked up on the magical abilities that both my parents and older sister seemed to possess. However, when it came time to go back to London and was sorted to Hogwarts and the house known as Gryffindor, was when I really felt that I belonged in the Wood Family. Hell, for a while I even thought about joining up with the Quidditch team, and so as soon as I could I went a head and followed in my father's footsteps. Managing to make the Hogwart's Quidditch Team without much wait and I can say with pride, that I was quite the player for someone my age. And I certainly didn't mind the attention that I would get from it either, whether it be from the girls that seemed to be all over me or the other males that wanted to be friends with the great Oliver Wood's son.
However, it was one Hufflepuff girl that I had found myself particularly close to over the years, Cora Cauldwell, and while she may have been impressed to some extent I don't think I ever really felt the need to prove myself with her. I got along with her not only as a close friend, but as more than that, and by the time I knew it I was dating her. It was definitely a good relationship, I felt like we clicked on so many levels and I was often told that the two of us were called one of the many "It" couples of Hogwarts. Or at least, when it came to our year anyway. It was easy, and that was one of those things that I really liked about her, I never had to try and I was always able to laugh with her, or feel like I could really be myself. We lasted for just about two years I think, before we got into some sort of fight. I dunno, it just wasn't a good time for us, towards the end of our relationship. Lots of pety bickering and so the relationship came to an end at the end of our fifth year.
Sure, its still a little awkward from time to time when we pass each other in the halls. But I'd like to think that we were at least still civil towards each other, the break between summer made it a bit easier. And hey, since I've been back at school I've actually gotten to know one of the Weasley girls, and she's really quite sweet, nice, she's even rather innocent. Someone who I really think that I've come to like, and sure some may think its too soon, but I'm not mixing to two separate relationships up, and for me the past is the past. And now its time to focus on Ms. Roxanne Weasley and the possibility of our own future, especially after that first date of ours.
