she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
i am so impure
devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
i now know the depths i reach are limitless

.general information.
Name: Rabastan Lestrange
Nickname(s): Rasty
Age: 15
Gender: Female. Definitely. No, male.
Blood Status: As pure as blood can be.
Family: Mother, Father and brother, Rodolphus… possibly 17 or something. Probably has relatives in France, too.
Birth date: 13th September
.appearance.
Eye Colour: Chocolate
Hair Colour: Black, or as close to black as you can get naturally.
Hair Style: Messy; his hair is mid-long, about to his ears, perhaps, and it’s messy, since the pretty child puts a lot of effort into making it look like he doesn’t care about it. Please note that he’s rather good at that too.
Height: 5’9
Weight: 148 lbs
Build: He’s not muscular, but not thin either, with a rather slender build. Though he might not be the tallest, he still have the look of being capable to beat up people.
Clothing: The usual Hogwarts uniform consisting of a clean white shirt; the grey waist coat with emerald around the v-neck; black trousers, not girl-trousers-tight, but not lose either; black robes hanging open from his shoulders; black SHOES and finally the tie, emerald and silver since supposedly he is in Slytherin. Outside school, his clothes look a bit worn, and usually black.
.background.
Hometown: Somewhere, England.
Personality: Rabastan doesn’t get much attention from the way he looks; instead he sinks into the Slytherin crowd like a dark shadow. It’s when he makes a comment - and it’s loud enough for you to hear it, be so sure – you first notice him and wonder how you didn’t notice him from the beginning; he doesn’t look THAT normal after all. Rabastan is the kind of guy you avoid to have too much to do with unless you’re his friend. Sure, he has always been in the shadow of his brother, Rodolphus, but nevertheless, he won’t listen if you try to tell him what to do.
He is a bit of an attention-seeker, naturally, like many younger brothers in this world. He has confidence, arrogance and an attitude which easily ends him up in detentions. Also, the pretty child has no idea when to shut up, unless he’s around with adults he respects… sorry, teachers not included there. Still searching for his place he won’t hesitate to do anything just to show everyone he’s more than Lestrange’s little brother. He strongly believes in being pure-blood and wizards standing above Muggles and Mudbloods.
Alone with Rabastan, or Rasty among his closer friends, he’d surprise you, being loyal and thoughtful and not as loud as he is in the bigger crowd. Tell him a secret, and as long as he doesn’t stop regarding you as a friend, he will keep it. When it comes to women, if he’s interested, you’ll know from the warm glint in his eyes if he realises you just addressed him with whatever you said. But you still want to keep him as a friend; he has a nice temper and doesn’t need much to stop regarding you as a friend. Then you’re his enemy, and under threat as long as you are around him.
And I might add, just for the record, that he is very likely to jump on you with fists and knives rather than thinking up jinxes and cursing you.
History: Rabastan was the second child in the Lestrange family, growing up in the wealthy family as nobody’s favourite. As in many wizard families with the right blood and correct opinions, the first son is perhaps more acknowledged. Whether this is the case in the Lestrange family is for everyone to determine themselves, but at least Rabastan has always felt a need to prove himself at least as good as his older brother.
Rabastan has, although, had a very pleasant childhood, having house-elves cleaning his, often messy, room and serving the family pancakes every once in a while. Being the member of a pure-blood family, he has always had pure-blood friends, pure-blood relatives and tendency to frown upon those not pure-blooded. His family has always had an approving attitude towards Voldemort and his thoughts, and it has so passed on to Rabastan too.
After attending Hogwarts, the shy little boy grew quickly into the role of the loud, nevertheless charming, bad-ass bastard as he became familiar with fear. Always protected by his family and brother, he was deep down shook as older Slytherins beat him up on the toilet for being short, small, or having a too messy hair in his eyes. Instead of escaping, he became a part of the gang. The tougher gang. Those who would one day become Death Eaters.
He was no longer a little, spoiled child. He struggled with his essays and homework, forever wanting to learn more curses. He took the courage to ask people such as Severus Snape about curses. He didn’t know what they thought about him, but he was somehow satisfied with what they could tell him. Unfortunately for Rabastan, he wasn’t too talented at magic and curses, charms and transfigurations, but kept studying as hard as he still does to keep up and be above average in class. He is pure-blood after all! There is no way he could be worse than some half-blood or filthy Mudbloods.
.school information.
Wand: Twelve and a half inches, willow, unicorn hair.
House: … he totally was in Slytherin.
Year: Fifth.
.other.
Abilities: He doesn’t know he’s very good at writing Poetry. Kidding. He’s talented at learning. He learns quickly.
Friends: Lucius Malfoy, Severus Snape, Bellatrix Black… basically any Black except Sirius, any pure-blood Slytherin with the ‘right views’.
Enemies: Probably you, unless you’re in Slytherin. Gryffindors in particular; he doesn’t care too much for Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws.
Likes: Curses and the sense of power that comes with them, pure-bloods, girls, food.
Dislikes: Mudbloods, blood-traitors and idiots. In addition; people who’re idiots or weird.
Fears: Rats. He hates rats.
Pet: A cat – white, light brown and black speckled, called Al.
Patronus: Can't conjure one.
Author's Note: My take on Rabastan. About the picture, my friend once had Billie Joe Armstrong to portray Rabastan, and it's sort of glued into my head. Haha.
Anyway. There's not that much known about him, except that he was sent to Azkaban and that he probably was in Slytherin. Sooo, I made up some stuff I thought sounded reliable. Any comments to that?
