**WHAT DO YOU LOOK LIKE**
Picture:
Looks:
5.7, 110 lbs, give or take a few. His natural hair color is a dark brown, but he sometimes dyes it black. His eyes are a very light blue.
Appearance:
Jess is a kid that tries to attract as little attention to himself as possible. He sometimes wears glasses when he's in class or in the library, but aside from that he doesn't have any specifics to alert anyone to his appearance. On the odd occasion that he does like to dress up, he's got snakebites and eyeliner.
Favourite Outfit:
Jesse feels most comfortable in black clothes, sometimes combined with grey or blue jeans. He’s barely ever seen wearing color, and doesn’t use jewelry to attract attention to himself. He prefers hoodies to anything else, since he can curl up in them and hide.
**PERSONALITY**
How do you treat your friends:
What friends? Jesse hasn’t really worked hard to avoid making friends, but it seems to come naturally with his shy demeanor. He’s always worried what people might think of him, and he tries to make a good impression, but he hasn’t got many people that he trusts.
How do you treat your enemies:
He’s the kid that gets picked on, and doesn’t lift a finger in return. There are people who try to provoke him just to see if he snaps, but up until now he’s never even sent a hex in anyone’s direction. He has trouble partnering people in class, let alone hurting them when he’s not supposed to. When it comes to the people who mistreat him, he’ll likely retreat into his own little world and cry over them there.
Social Status:
Jesse is the boy that has never been liked, never been kissed, and no one ever bothered to wish him a happy birthday. By all means, he is an outcast.
Positive Traits:
* Smart
* Kind
* Loves very deeply
* Sweet – when it comes to those he trusts
* Obedient – when someone sets him a task, he’ll try to perform it to the best of his ability, and as quicky as possible
Negative Traits:
* Withdrawn
* Scared
* Emotional
* Assumes the worst of people
* Insecure

**SOME MORE INSIGHT**
Skills/Hobbies:
Jesse is a fairly smart boy, and he’s been teaching himself several languages. He’s not fluent in any of them, but he can read in both German and French, as well as some of the other species’ languages such as gobbledegook.
Likes/Dislikes:
Likes: his mother, his stepfather, snow, christmas, books, most animals
Dislikes: his father, dogs, people in school, the dark, heights
Best/Worst memory:
Best: When his father went to prison
Worst: Oddly enough, it’s not what his father has done to him that is his worst memory, rather it is telling the police everything that happened. It’s even worse than finally admitting to his mum how he’d been abused. Ever since then, he’s shied away from people. He knows that they had no choice but to investigate everything, but the way they doubted him has really scarred him.
Secrets:
From the time he was nine until he was twelve, his biological father sexually abused him.

* Potions
* Charms
* Transfiguration
* Astronomy
* Ancient Runes
* Arithmancy

Favourite/Least Favourite Subject:
Jesse likes all his subjects. Since he’s got no friends, he has all the time in the world for homework, and pays attention in every class.

Jesse is one of those kids that most Professors want an entire classroom full of. He pays attention in class, doesn't interrupt the lesson, and will always hand in his homework on time.

What is your preferred House:
Ravenclaw
**BEFORE AND AFTER**
How Did You Come To Be/Childhood:
Martin Thompson met Evangelina Turner when she was attending a language course at a Muggle university. Although she had been working in wizarding law for a few years, she liked to educate herself further and had decided to take a few courses at a local college. She was twenty three and had never had a boyfriend in her life, and when Martin came along she was quickly swept off her feet. He proposed to her after only three months of dating, and she accepted, although her parents disapproved. He was working as a janitor in the school she’d attended, and they felt that he was not good enough for her.
Their entire life together the man had battled against this feeling of inferiority, and when their son came along he was eager to show the world that he could do one thing right – he’d be the best damn dad possible. For the first years of his life, Jesse had a happy childhood. When he turned seven, he began to notice that his parents were fighting quite often, and soon afterwards they stopped sleeping in the same room. It wasn’t long after that that his father first came to his room in the middle of the night, drunk and out of his mind. He kept asking if Jesse loved him, and for the young boy to prove that he did.
Details left aside, Jesse experienced a lot of things that he shouldn’t have, and it took three years until he finally spoke up to his mother. She had seen her son grow depressed and anxious, and coaxed an answer out of him. When he finally broke down in tears and admitted what had happened, she put cameras in the entire house and alerted the police. The next night, the usual began happening, and Martin was arrested and put into jail for the sexual assault and rape of a minor.
Coming To Hogwarts:
Jesse entered Hogwarts as a quiet and terrified boy. He has little faith in people, though his mum has always supported him. She was always a shy and quiet girl herself though, so she hasn’t really taught him how to make friends. As such, he’s always been alone. When he turned fourteen, his mum married a new man, and after telling him everything about her son, he had agreed to live separately for a while. The man has moved in only a few months ago, and Jesse is slowly opening up to him and learning what it’s like to have a real dad. His stepdad loves playing games with him and always encourages him to find out what he likes. It’s thanks to him that he’s starting another year at Hogwarts with the idea that he might possibly find a friend this year.
What do you want to do after Hogwarts:
After Hogwarts, Jesse wants to study more languages and quite possibly teach them.
