: General Information :
Name: Evander Rosier
Nickname(s): Evan, Rosier (Roz-ea-r)
Age: 17
Gender: Male
Blood Status: Pureblood
Family: Bellona Rosier, 49, Mother
Evander Rosier, 52, Father
Birthdate:14 April 1960
: Appearance :
Eye Color: Hazel, flecked with amber.
Hair Color: Auburn/Red
Hair Style: Straight and has been allowed to grow down to his shoulders; a trait his parents despise but unfortunately cannot control as it grows very quickly. Usually worn down, except when he is concentrating or doing something practical like potion work; at these times it is tied back into a simple ponytail.
Height: 5,11
Weight: 165lbs
Build: Slight, not athletic.
Clothing: When not in his school uniform, that he wears with the sleeves rolled to his elbows and, when he can help it, without the tie, he wears a lot of green to show his immense pride with being a Slytherin. That and black. He leans more to the side of baggy clothes, especially with his trousers that he likes to trail on the floor completely concealing his shoes. He absolutely never wears shorts, but wears his thick winter robes even in summer.
: Background :
Hometown: Middlewich, Staffordshire, England
Personality: From his appearance it would be quite impossible to guess that he is quite bookish at times. In the holidays he usually takes out at least five very thick, old-looking, leather-bound books from the school library, where he is one of the only students Madame Pince actually approves of, and always returns them fully read. His memory is also very good, for facts at least. He would do very well at school if he wasn't so disorganised. Forever losing things Evan arrived in his Charms Theory OWL without a quill, very nearly earning him a fail but instead just losing him the time it took to aquire a new one. His bed-side cabinet in the Slytherin dormitory is possibly the messiest of all the 7th year Slytherins. Paper is always scattered across it, along with empty ink-pots, numerous odd socks and various other, less interesting oddities.
He can, if the situation calls for it, however be somewhat of a prankster. These pranks are usually aimed at those in other houses. Especially the lowly Gryffindors. Once he stole some "confiscated and highly dangerous" items from the caretaker's office and set them loose at breakfast the next day. The look on Dorcas Meadowes' face when a large, moving, fake spider from her bacon sandwhich nearly made him fall off his chair with laughter. Priceless.
Evan is very much a follower of the losers weepers philosophy, but with a slight twist that allows him to claim anything he likes from younger students as long as there are no teachers in the room, he doesn't like obliviating teachers, he calls it immoral. This is how he gets quite a lot of his possessions, but they don't remember so it doesn't hurt anyone right?
He's friends with Severus, but isn't the loyalist of people. After all, if being mates with someone is going to get you beaten up, only a mug would stay friends. He usually finds himself standing in the crowd laughing when the Marauders arrive on the scene. It's not that he couldn't fight them off if he wanted to, he just can't be bothered usually to get into fights, especially not in front of the whole school where, if by a fluke he were to lose it would mean school-wide embarrasment.
This usually ends up with Snape having a go at him in the end of the day, but he usually gets over it after a while.
Evan is not very fond of Quidditch, or flying for that matter - he fell off his broom a lot during flying lessons and didn't like the way it made his hair swirl about in the wind - and is not the most athletic boy in the school, but this doesn't worry him as he doesn't eat very much. It's not that he's picky, he just doesn't have a very large appetite.
History: In 1960 the newly-wed Bellona and Evander Rosier gave birth to a baby boy; needless to say Bellona got some accepted leave from the duties of the Death-Eater movement during this time in which she were able to arrange and bring up the child who was eventually, and after much argument (ending in the point being made that the parents had agreed months before that if it were a girl Bella would name her and vice-versa.) named Evander after his father.
Anxiously the parents waited for their child to show signs of magical ability, as do all parents from strict, proud pure-blood families, incase,god-forbid, they'd produced a squib. Luckily, these signs didn't take too long to appear; at age four Evan smashed a plate from the other side of the room when refused a trip to Honeyduke's confectioners. From then on, every time he got mildly angry something broke as he couldn't control his ability until school. The house had to be made devoid of fragile objects in the hope of curbing this habit, with slight success in the form of less things being destroyed.
At age eleven a letter came through their kitchen window at breakfast. This was a day that his parents had been called out in the early hours of the morning for some reason unknown to him, so he was preparing his own breakfast. When his parents returned they were overjoyed and offered to get him a present, an offer which he accepted greatfully in the form of a pet rat.
Since his childhood he's wanted to work abroad and travel the world, the exact choice of career he has yet undecided but has taken up the right subjects to persue this dream.
