Biography:
Guillaume has been born and bred on the good life. The Cossé-Brissac lineage dates to centuries ago, and ever since they have been part  of the proud French pureblood aristocracy.Even at his childhood, the boy knew his future was already laid out for him: he graduate from Beauxbatons and would work somewhere his father deemed fit, marry somebody whom his family choosed and whom he would never love, and then maybe have a bunch of kids whom would undergo the same process.

Unlike his sister, he did not rebel against this hold, and unlike his brother, he did not stand passive at it. He was the third of four siblings, and the bohemian one - if a premeditated future was the price to pay, why not? And yet, why play the whole holier-than-thou his brother seemed to like so much, when he himself was not the heir? So Guillaume reveled in the luxury his name gave him. He had always been mom favorite anyway - preening her own keen senses for the finer arts with the knowledge at least one of her offspring was an artist.

That why it seemed so unfair for him to be stripped bare from at of it. Because, in the end, Guillaume was a bastard.

It came as vile surprise, an embust, this wretched knowledge. They had just arrived at home for the summer holidays when he was called to his not-father's office. Guillaume had no idea how this had come to surface, but he hated his mom for not lying better. Months of pure hell at home, before they decided to send him away, to live with an relative he had not seem more than two times his entire life - the scandal of this should never come to the public, so he would keep the name and receive a meager allowance till he graduated.

And now, here he is: At Hogwarts. Poor and disowned.

→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.
Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.

House Request:Slytherin.

Personality: Guillaume can look like the stereotypical rich boy. Probably because he is. Spoiled and arrogant, sometimes his manners can be abhorrent - not to say he can be rather temperamental, and prone to fits of anger. He's very, very short of being a bully sometimes, to be honest. And yet, if he's consider you a friend - a real friend, that is - you will never find a fiercer protector - to the point of being overbearing, he don't really know the meaning of 'too much' and 'personal space'. Part of it is because he can't stand being alone.

His grades at Beauxbatons have been mediocre, at best - not much because of a intellectual lack and more because he prioritized his social interactions over hours of study. But the boy has a way with words that may prove useful. Guillaume has more than mildly distaste for sports, and prefers to die before being forced to play Quidditch.

His love life barely has started, but already show itself troublesome - recently, he has fallen in love with his best friend Jean, a boy he has known since before they could walk and talk. Between awakard scapades and fumbling kisses, Guillaume lives with the fear of his family discovered them - even now, when they have been separed for good.

Appearance:He is proud to call himself handsome - he has inherit all his mother good traits, after all. Hair of a dark blond paired with green eyes and unmarred clear skin. Guillaume is growing fast and can be supposes he will be rather tall if his current 5'4" are anything of a clue.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.
Please reply to one of the Sample Roleplays below.

Guillaume hummed quiet while walking to the dorms, chewing bits of an apple he has managed to smuggle out of the great hall - a shine red thing that looked so out of place in the midst of the endless green the house he has been put seems to prefer. Regardless, he had snatched it before someone had the chance.

He still hadn't come to terms with attending Hogwarts - for him, Beauxbatons would always be superior. Better. Greater. But beggars can't be choosers, and he supposes this place cannot be so bad. Or at least he hopes it.

"H-h-hello?" He stopped after hearing the childish voice, musing. He was in a dark spot, so maybe the girl hadn't seen him yet - but he has sure he recognized the little brat from somewhere. Aside this, it was clear she wasn't from Slytherin - or else she would not be scared as doe in the middle of the dungeons.

"Hello! Is Emma Birch here?" Guillaume couldn't contain a smile after this - ah, yes, other veterans have told him about this small prank some firsties from their rival house would receive. Emma Birch, humph! He could either scare the live out of the brat, or just send her scurrying back to her own dorm - unfortunaly, today he was not in the mood for playing.

"Lost something here?" His tone was ironical.

Hi, Guillaume!

Your application's coming along nicely, there's just one small thing I'll need you to edit before we can get you accepted. Some parts of your RP sample are written in the present tense (e.g. he says, he does) rather than the past tense (e.g. he said, he did). I've quoted one such part below:

Quote
But beggars can't be choosers, and he supposes this place cannot be so bad. Or at least he hopes it.

If you could have a read through of your RP sample and edit all the parts which are in the present tense so that they are in the past tense instead, that would be great.

Once you've made the required change, please repost your entire revised application below, and we'll be more than happy to take another look. Thanks!

and if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free
to those who ground me, take a message back from me
tell them how I am defying gravity
