appearence"
playby: ben barnes
general:
much like his cousin gabriel has a devilish appearence to him. his skin is usually a bit tan, but if he strays out of sunlight for to long he easily loses his color and obtains a somewhat creepy pale expression. His long, dark hair only adds to the eerie appearence that he gives off, almost always in his face which blocks his dark eyes from view.
Gabriel has a tattoo on his wrist depicting a snitch. it is very small and he usually wears his shirt so that it covers the drawing, not because he is ashamed he just is modest in appearence.
personality"
likes: (at least five)
- trouble making
- flirting (but not overly so)
- standing on stage
- charms
- Reading in the library
- detention
- his mother
- dancing (he is horrible at it)
- being on a staircase while it moves
- ravenclaws (he was bullied in his younger years)
gabriel posesses many attributes of the bad boy stereotype, but also disproves a lot of them. He frequently breaks rules, but is not one to run from punishment. He likes to flirt with women, but truly loves and cherishes them. He is a musician and likes to party, but often calls it a night earlier than most. He is relativly friendly and the more sincere of the cousins.
On the other hand though he does have a bit of a habit to look down on others. He may be nice, and he is not mean spirited, but he does have the habit to think that he is better than other students. He walks a thin line. He has more true friends than his cousin, but it would be much harder to get to know him and convince him that you are worth his time. He likes most people, he just also thinks that he is better than them.
However off color he sometimes is inherently he means well. He would kill for his cousin, he would die for his music career, and he would stand up to anyone to make those things happen. Bad Quirks aside he is who he is and he is really okay with that.

general:
born as the bastard son to a one night stand between a witch and muggle, both he and his cousin who was concieved under the same circumstances, were left with their Father's shortly after birth. Unaware of the boy's being not so normal, and not so muggle, they cherished the boys as if they were on purpose.
Growing up Gabriel spent little time away from his cousin. They were like brothers, living together through periods of their childhood. They both learned music from Sebastian's step mother and would always play little songs together. This was how life went until they were one day surprised with a letter.
Gabriel's Father was the more udnerstanding one of the brothers, and it didn't take much to convince him that Gabriel was different. He had noticed some odd behavior that the child was exhibiting and with both of the kids getting the letter, and both having mystery mothers it seemed to make sense to him.
Gabriel and Sebastian went off to school, being sorted into rival houses seemed like a horrible thing to Gabriel, but Sebastian kept his cool and Gabriel was able to follow his lead. The two became a dynamic duo and would party together, play music together, and usually ended up in detention together.
During his fourth year Gabriel went to Hogsmeade for the first time without Sebastian and he wandered into the Hogs Head. It was there he saw a woman who was almost his spitting image. She was cleaning up spilt butterbeer, but when she looked up at him Gabriel watched a tear come to her eyes. He had thought it was wierd initially and found a table at the opposite side of the pub from her, but she wandered over to him. She asked him about his Father, quoting him by name. The mysterious waitress was his mother. They chatted, she explained how scared and confused she was but the young Gabriel didn't want to hear it. He felt betrayed. He had spent fourteen years of his life without a mother and it didn't bother him until he met her.
Gabriel sees his mother every so often, but always at the side of Sebastian she rarely approaches him. He frequently pretends she doesnt exist and ignores her presence. On particularly cruel days he will sit near her and discuss the love of his aunt, the only adult woman in his life, with his cousin quite loudly.
