the appearance

[/color]

hair ; Zell has chestnut brown hair. He tends to keep it a little long in the front so he can style it how he wants to, but short on the back and sides. His hairstyle is usually fairly simple, but everyone once in a while he'll try something a little more wild.

eyes ; Zell has green eyes that tend to be olive colored than a brighter green. His eyes have a tendency to look a bit distant as if he's thinking about something. This is of course to hide his real emotions as he's not willing to let people know what he's really thinking or feeling.

style ; Zell's style is fairly conservative. He has a very small plain wardrobe. He doesn't really care about fashion, but his wardrobe is pretty simple due to the fact that his mother can't afford very much so he mostly gets what he can with the money he earns over the breaks and vacations. His clothes tend to be worn and well used especially since most of them are second hand.

dislikes ;

HIS BROTHER[/u] 5+ sentences to elaborate on this point

BEING POOR[/u] No one likes not having money, but Zell hates it more than most. Probably because he's experienced it more than most. He hates not being able to just buy what he needs and he hates having to worry about things like being able to pay rent in a place he doesn't want to live in. He hates having to worry about eating just enough not to starve while not eating so much that his mother has to go without. He hates having to buy second hand clothing and accept charity because he really has no choice. He is very determined that very soon he'll start making enough money that he'll never have to worry about being poor ever again no matter what he has to do to accomplish that.

OBSTACLES[/u] Zell isn't a boy who gives up easily. Once he decides he wants to do something nothing will stop him. This however doesn't mean he enjoys obstacles. Honestly he resents anything that gets in his way as he sees it as a personal attack. Whether it be a personal weakness, another person, or a situation that stands in his way he will always react poorly to it. He sees obstacles as a challenge yes, but he hates being challenged. He wants to go about his business without incident. To him it's rather simple if your an obstacle your an enemy and that's that.

HIMSELF[/u] Zell goes to great lengths to seem like a confident cheerful man, but under all the jokes and the big blinding smiles is a young man who can barely stand to look in the mirror. He dislikes most people to varying degrees between just distaste and outright hatred, but he hates himself more than almost anyone else. He blames himself for not being enough. For not being rich, for not being pureblood, for not being happy with himself and not being strong enough to do anything about that fact. He dislikes himself even more than his brother of course no one not even the people closest to him will ever know that as it's one of his darkest secrets.

strengths ;

ACTOR[/u] To the world Zell seems to be a cheerful self assured if a bit cocky young man, but he's not. Zell is a bitter angry young man, but almost no one knows this because Xell is pretty much a professional actor. He always knows just how to look and just what to say to make sure people only see what he wants them to see. He is painstakingly careful making sure no one can tell what's under his perfectly calculated smile. This is a strength to him mostly because it grants him what he wants which is mostly a shield from the rest of the world. It also serves him well as he can when he wishes it use his acting skills to be quit the manipulative little bastard. Also it's rather useful in the fact that no one ever sees him coming, because they'll never have a reason to believe he might have a reason to do just that.

weaknesses ;

ANGRY[/u] Zell is a boy with a lot of unresolved anger. And he has a tendency to accumulate more as he bottles it up and stuffs it away. He doesn't deal with his anger, because he feels that if he does he'll just explode which wouldn't do anyone any good. It is of course not all that healthy for him to bottle up all his anger. And of course this is a big weakness because eventually he will explode and he won't be able to help it. He knows he's sort of a time bomb he's knows it's going to happen he just doesn't know when.

LIAR[/u] Zell is a liar. He lies as often as he breathes. It comes naturally to him and sometimes he's not sure he could stop being a liar even if he had to be. Of course this is a weakness for the obvious fact that he's untrust worthy, but also because it is yet another barrier standing between him and a true support system. How can you rely on someone when they never really know what's going on with you. It's also a problem because eventually he'll get caught up in his lies. Of course he's been found out a time or two and that's never good, but he knows eventually people will figure out just how often he lies and every single bridge he does tolerate will be burned into cinders. After all why would anyone want to keep a man who lies with every breath.

CLOSED OFF[/u] Without a doubt Zell's biggest weakness is the fact that he keeps pretty much everyone at an arm's distance. Of course most people don't know this as he has a tendency to act like everyone's best friend, but he can count the number of people he really trusts on one hand with a few fingers left. He's an angry bitter boy that beleives people are a weakness and are generally not trust worthy. He believes the only way he'll ever get anywhere is by using people and you can't like people your going to use so he's careful to keep people at an arm's distance. He'll act like he's trusting them with his inner most secrets, but more often than not any confidences he does make are false. This makes Zell a pretty lonely person even if no one knows it and it also means he doesn't fell like he has anyone he can really turn too when his back is up against the wall.


boggart ; Zell's biggest fear is that he'll always be a poor nothing just like he is now.
amortentia ; Galleons, Silk, and Chocolate
erised ; Zell wants to be on top of the world. He wants to be so far above everyone else that no one can ever touch or reject him ever again. He wants to never desire anything ever again, because he'll have everything he could possibly want.
veritaserum ; Zell's darkest secret is that he's not even near who he seems to be.
dementor ; Zell has a whole laundry list of memories most people wouldn't want, but at the very top of his list would be the first time he and his mother were evicted and forced to live on the streets. Zell was young and he supposed he's survived more traumatic experiences, but that first time of being tossed out into the cold with no idea what he was going to do or if he was going to be able to survive sticks to him like nothing else.
patronus ; If Zell is ever capable of casting a patronus it won't happen for a long long time, but should he ever manage his patronus will take the shape of a alligator snapping turtle. Zell's favorite memory would be the first time he made his half-brother bleed.
