Biography:
Maxwell Farey grew up in a fairly unremarkable pureblood family somewhere along the many streets of wizarding London, in a relatively small household shared with only his two parents and younger sister. His parents cared a lot about appearances which always struck him as funny, since on his street alone there were at least a dozen families just like his own. He couldn't really grasp this obsession with status, despite having tried many times in the past. His father repaired magical heirlooms, and his mother worked an administrative job he'd never fully understood, so what on earth made them so superior? It wasn't like they were royalty or anything even close. Still, he tried to humour his parents and only made friends with the other pureblood children living nearby; there were plenty of them around anyway.

Max's younger sister wasn't born until he was already 8 years old and it had actually taken him quite a long time to come to terms with not being an only child anymore. However, he was slowly starting to realise that this did save him from being the sole focus of his parents, that he could now spend hours drawing and painting in his room without hearing complaints, or disappear for an entire afternoon without them even noticing. For that alone, she was quickly becoming his favourite person ever.

Having grown up in the wizarding world, Max had known for years that he would eventually receive his Hogwarts letter. That did not mean that he wasn't ecstatic when it finally did arrive. Of course he wanted to learn how to do magic himself. Getting away from his stuck-up parents was what currently made up most of his enthusiasm though, not that he would ever admit it.

House Request:
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
Personality:
The first thing most people would notice about Maxwell is that he is slightly wary of those he never met before, preferring to observe a little first. He is very friendly though, not sharing the judgmental nature of his parents at all and not caring about bloodlines or appearances. However, he does tend to hold massive grudges against anyone that he's had bad experiences with in the past.

Max values helping both himself and others far more than he cares about rules. He can be stubborn at times and does not shy away from discussions, but it's not entirely impossible to convince him when he's wrong.

Even though his own bedroom is currently his favourite place in the world, he loves to explore and experience new situations and environments. He also enjoys arts, crafts and trying new ideas, having 'inherited' a habit of creative tinkering from his father.

He doesn't like heights and is mildly afraid of any animal larger than himself. Aside from that, he doesn't scare easily, usually managing to move past his fears to get to his goals.

Appearance:
Maxwell has brown eyes, and brown hair that he has to fight daily for it not to be too messy. Being a very average height and build, he has never been very strong especially since the activities and hobbies he takes part in don't involve much physical activity. His wardrobe consists mostly of new and formal-ish generic boys' clothing in various shades of dark and boring, since as his mother would put it: they have a reputation to uphold. Honestly, he would prefer older and more casual clothing that he wouldn't need to worry about getting dirty while painting or exploring.

→ SAMPLE ROLEPLAY.

(Option 2) - Roleplay Response:

Max was fairly sure that he knew where he was going, clutching his notebook as he made his way through the gardens . If this did turn out to be the wrong way that would be fine, there was plenty of time between breakfast and his first classes today. Maybe he should draw himself a map at some point though or just try to always walk with his classmates, because while he liked exploring, the getting lost was getting old.

At least the gardens were not the worst place to end up accidentally. He had already spent time here drawing and studying. The fresh air, pretty scenery, and the calm, quiet atmosphere all made it an excellent spot for that. Very few distractions - unless people were loudly sneezing and talking to themselves. He looked at the older boy who seemed to be the source of all the noise, equal parts amused and intrigued by his presence. He didn't strike Max as a gardener, so what was he up to in the middle of a flower patch, anyway?

"Can I help you with something? It is not polite to stare."

He disagreed that it was rude to stare, not if someone was being this obnoxious. In fact, he made it a point to stare for just a few seconds longer, absolutely refusing to be schooled in manners by a boy who literally wiped his nose on his sleeve just moments ago. He then shook his head, and finally spoke up. "You know, if you don't want to draw attention to yourself, maybe you should try keeping the volume down."

That said, maybe he should watch his words if he wanted to take the high ground as far as manners were concerned. The other boy seemed older and larger than him too, it would not be a good idea to let this escalate into a fight.

"So... What's wrong?" he asked, his tone now as friendly as he could manage. "And do you need any help?"
