Three Characteristics You Think You Are: Original 3: cool, smart, strong New 3: ambitious, nerd, hard worker
Three Characteristics Others Think You Are: Original 3: friendly, helpful, brave New 3: helpful, thoughtful, brave
Three Random Facts: Original 3:
1. Adopted from an orphanage in Diagon Alley in the past year, and still somewhat nervous about his new family.
2. Wants to own guinea pigs ever since someone read him a book about them.
3. Absolutely adores his new grandparents, since he didn't have any as an orphan.
New 3:
1. His family owns a medium-sized cat.
2. Sometimes he feels like he doesn't belong in Slytherin, despite having many aspirations.
3. More talented at wandless magic than most due to not having much connection the wand motions.
Aspirations: Originally: To do well in school, to convince his rather large new family that he shouldn't be babied, to find something he's really, really good at, to convince his parents to get him pet guinea pigs (and maybe a baby sibling), and to learn wandless magic so he doesn't have to learn wand motions.
New: To graduate with many O's and no failing grades, to pursue his interest in Charms, to continue practicing wandless magic, to figure out life after Hogwarts
Opinion:
Original:
Quidditch: It sounds like a lot of fun, but Leo never got to play because he's blind. He does enjoy listening to the games, as well as discussing the players with his friends and family. He wants to try riding a broom one day, but is a little scared of heights.
Clubs: Leo wants to join as many clubs as he can when he's in school in order to see what he really likes. He's not sure if he'll stay in all of them, but he'll have fun while he does it!
Blood purity: Leo's biological parents were halfbloods, and now that he has been adopted, he has family from all sorts of different blood types, and doesn't see why it matters to some people. He knows there were big wars over it in the past, and while he feels sad about the many people who died, he doesn't see why it's still important.
Magic: Leo loves having magic! A lot of the adaptive things Leo uses have magic in them in order to function, and he loves the idea of fun spells.
Muggles: Leo feels bad that muggles don't have magic, and finds it a bit annoying to have to be calm and orderly around them since he was little and had occasional accidental magic. He sometimes wonders what it would be like to be a muggle.
New:
Quidditch: Leo hated flying on brooms in flying class and was generally nervous the whole time he was there. He still loves to listen to the games, and cheers for Slytherin every time
Clubs: Leo is a member of the Games Club, Charms Club and Theatre Club and enjoys them all. He was briefly the leader of the Games Club, but disliked setting up the meetings because he felt like it was a bit too much pressure on top of his prefect duties.
Blood purity: As a Slytherin, Leo has experienced a little bit more blood purity talk than he would if he was in the other houses. He is firm in his belief that no matter where people come from, they deserve a chance to go to Hogwarts and participate in magical activities. He's learned more about the wars and how they were related to blood purity and dark magic, and currently keeps an ear out for anything that might set off warning bells in his head.
Magic: Leo has gained a new appreciation for magic, especially Charms, which is his favorite branch. He takes care to learn as much as he can.
Muggles: Leo has met a few Muggleborn students, but doesn't regularly interact with Muggles since he lives in Hogsmeade. He still feels a little sad that magic can't be shared with them, but since taking Muggle Studies classes he's learned about a lot of cool stuff that Muggles do.

History:
Leo attended Hogwarts and was sorted into Slytherin, making friends with Roxanne Vogel and Will Lovegood. Although he hated flying class, he found that he was well-suited to Charms work and generally a good student, if not a perfect one.
Leo was in Hogsmeade during the Muggleborn festival, but was not harmed as he was getting ready in his home when the curses were released. He later hears that Will had been affected by a serious curse.
As a 4th year, Leo participated in a duelling tournament and discovered that while it was possible for him to duel, it was quite difficult, confirming (for him at least) that he didn't want to be an Auror.
Leo was made prefect in 5th year, a position he was nervous about but eventually grew into, enjoying being a recognizable face for younger students. He started to worry about what he would do once he was out of Hogwarts, but still glad that he had OWLs to focus on.
During the summer before his 7th year, Leo helped out a little with the update to Rutherford, since his family has connections to it, and started considering that as an option for his future.
Now as a 7th year, Leo is hoping to get the most out of his final year at Hogwarts before he goes out into the world of adulthood, jobs, or whatever else is out there.
Roleplay Example:
Diagon Alley had always been a little overwhelming, but that was part of what Leo loved about it, even growing up in the orphanage. There was always something going on, some conversation to listen to.
It was a bit nervewracking to be back with one of his new dads, though. Cameron and Thaddeus (or, as Leo had been testing out, Dad and Pops) were very nice, but what if one of the kids from the orphanage saw him and thought he was stuck-up now that he got adopted?
"Can we get ice cream for some of my friends at the orphanage, too?" Leo asked, smelling the familiar fragrance of the ice cream parlor he'd liked to sit outside. "It doesn't have to be today...maybe tomorrow."
