Naomi Barlow Unsorted First Year Clubs will go here
▬▬"Abookisadreamyouholdinyourhand."▬▬
Naomi was excited for Hogwarts - it gave her more things to study that not nearly as many people would know about. She would be in her own league. She had gotten to the platform early, getting there before a rush of people got in her way. She spent the time pacing back and forth down the platform, reading History of Magic - to ensure she knew what to expect. Minutes before the train was supposed to depart, she hopped on, dragging her luggage behind her. She found a fairly empty area to sit in, threw her luggage in the top, and started reading her book again - before falling asleep, missing most of the train ride.
When they were nearby Hogwarts, someone had the audacity to wake her up - she glared, tossed her book at their face, and went to change into her school robes.
They had gotten to the train station, and the boats, it was a rather uneventful ride, until they had gotten to the dock and some kid fell in. Naomi had been pretty sad - there weren't any ducks on the lake. She wondered if there were ducks at Hogwarts, she could maybe befriend them.
When it was time to be sorted - Naomi didn't know what to expect. All the first years were crowded into the area, then the deputy headmistress said that a hat would sort them. Naomi watched intently, someone else would be magically sorted first, then she would know. "Naomi Barlow!" the first to be sorted.
Well this was unfortunate. Naomi slowly walked up and sat on the stool as indicated. As the hat was put on her head, it began to speak to her. She answered back, practically screaming with her thoughts to make sure the hat would be able to hear her - if it could hear her. "Oh you're a magic hat? How does one make a magic hat? Can you hear my thoughts? What do you do on a day to day basis, is there anything I can do to help you decide where I belong?" Personality:
IntelligentNaomi would rather read a book than talk to other people. All of her reading over time has made her a little nerd. GenerousIf you nicely ask, and don’t interrupt her while she’s doing something, Naomi will readily help out with ANYTHING you need. Is that studying? Making food? Hiding a body? Naomi is there. ViolentSometimes, Naomi just gets angry - especially when someone interrupts her doing a task. She has been known to throw books, chairs, whatever is there really when she gets too angry. CreativeNaomi liked making new things, crafting them from old objects. No matter what it was, she was thrilled to be able to use her hands to make something else in the world. RestlessNaomi doesn’t want to be sitting down, she has to be doing SOMETHING all the time. Reading? She’s walking around. Crafting? Her hands are moving. Sleeping? Well she’s been told she kicks a lot in her sleep. She HAS to move. ALWAYS.
Luna Tamara Lovette ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Unsorted ☆ First Year Pureblood ☆ Eleven Year Old
★ Location : Great Hall (Sorting 2060) ★ Company : First Years... Professor Clarke & The Sorting Hat
Luna managed to survive the boat ride over and was grateful to be done with that part of the journey. The lake would not be her next destination any time soon. Following behind a rather nice lady, Luna hoped she’d end up in the right place. Her parents had assured her it didn’t matter what house they ended up in, but she was still unsure about it. Both were Ravenclaws, though her family was a mix of all houses in the end. Taking a breath, the first year waited as the night was explained. Waiting as names were called, Luna knew her name wouldn’t take very long to get to.
“Luna Lovette.”
Taking one last look at the night sky above, though it wasn’t the real night sky, Luna walked towards the stool. With another deep breath, she sat down before the hat. ‘I’m good with where you put me… if you remember my parents, they were in Ravenclaw…’ She thought in her head. ‘You probably remember everyone I bet.’ She continued in her head. Was she expecting a response? No. Why would a magical hat have a conversation with her? It had more important things to be doing probably. Oh, she wanted to be a Ravenclaw but also, she totally okay with Hufflepuff… or Gryffindor… She probably wasn’t meant for that house though. So long as she didn’t end up in Slytherin she’d be fine. They were too close to the lake for her liking.

■ ARTISTICLuna grew up with music her whole life. There’s never a time you won’t find her humming a tune or finding her place to play a song or two. This also stems to her way of seeing things. Her mind going to the fine details that many people overlook. She thinks very much outside of the norm and doesn’t fear coming off different or unusual. Though she’s not great at many of the arts she appreciates the existence of them. ■ CLEVERComing from both her parents, Luna can appear to be very smart. She picks things up rather quickly and can apply it easily enough. There’s little struggle to show off her memory skills. Regardless of what it is, she can recall it but whether she shows interest is a totally different story. ■ HONESTThat’s where her honesty comes in. Luna is very much an honest book. She speaks the truth most often than not. Sometimes the truth can hurt, and she understands that to the point that she won’t be blunt. Though don’t be fooled she won’t fail to still be fair with her words. ■ AGREEABLELuna can be very compliant. She’s not one to argue. In fact, she avoids confrontation most of the time. If something suggested isn’t totally out there, she’s more then willing to agree and go along with it. In fact, going for what everyone else decides is usually the way she goes, keeps things less complicated, which she very much prefers. ■ INCONSISTENTThis also makes Luna very inconsistent. She doesn’t always stick to one side of things or the other. Frequently changing her mind on the fly based on the situation. Though, she stays true to herself, she very much struggles sticking to her own plans. After all it’s hard to stick with something if you are just going with the flow of everyone else. ■ HELPFULLuna is also one to help others. Usually able to come up with some way to solve any given problem, at least within reason. Granted she can’t fix everything. Luna will try first and foremost to help any way she can. Be it lending an ear or give some honest but helpful advice. Though sometimes, the advice she gives might not be perfect either.

Fiadh shared the boat ride with some conversations and awe as she watched the castle draw closer and closer. This was going to be great. Upon reaching the dock on the other side, a boy managed to land in the lake. Great start for him, Fiadh was grateful not to share the same fate when she climbed out. It would be her luck she thought. Luck was on her side at least. By the time they’d made it to the great hall. Fiadh had figured out she would be going first between herself and Liv. Entering the hall Fiadh’s eyes looked around in wonder. Waiting as names were called, her gaze looked up at the ceiling. It was amazing.
"Fiadh O'Shea."
‘How do they do that…?’ She thought to herself. Fiadh was deep in thought wondering if was real or a trick. So deep in thought in fact she didn’t even hear her name being called. “Fiadh O’Shea.” Being nudged out of her thoughts by Liv, she blushed slightly. “Oh…” She muttered before scurrying to the stool. “Sorry…” Fiadh apologized to Professor Clarke before taking a seat. There she was already holding up the ceremony. ‘Here goes nothing…’ She thought glancing up towards her head. Would she be in Hufflepuff for her outgoing happy nature or somewhere else entirely?

The boats had been so much fun. Well. Until the very end. They were trying to step up onto a dock, and Seb stayed in their little boat to help his friends up first. After passing up the lamp to Dec, the boat was a little wobbly. Holding his arms akimbo, Seb tried to even out, but ended up tumbling over the edge and taking a very cold plunge. Luckily as soon as he bobbed to the surface, the teacher they'd boated over to used magic to lift him up out of the water, then dried him off with a super warm spell. With slightly crunchy clothes and a weird lake smell, Seb rejoined the group, glad that Dec still had his robes.
He put his warm robe back on just as they entered the school, ooh-ing and aah-ing at all the sights. The paintings moved and apparently there were ghosts? This was either gonna be super cool or super terrifying. Like that one horror movie he accidentally watched. Nope. Don't think about that, it was only nightmares. They walked into a huge room full of people. He pushed up to his tiptoes, trying to look at everything at once. Dec seemed super nervous, but Seb was just so fascinated. He vaguely remembered Miss Nora saying once here, to look up, so he did. Emerald eyes went wide, gasping at the array of stars and candles above them. They watched together the first sortings, including that of their new pal Lyric. When they got to the M's, Dec got called away first. Seb watched and sent him a thumbs up, but secretly he was really nervous his friend and he would be sent to different places and never see each other again... probably.
"Sebastian Moon!"
Oh boy, it was his turn. Seb hurried to the front, plopping on the stool. The teacher gently plucked some weed... algae... stuff from his hair, sighing softly. He sent up a nervous grin, then closed his eyes as the hat fell over them, pushing his glasses down his nose. "Hey there, Mister Hat... Or Miss Hat? Um, I was really hoping if you could put me with my new friend. His name's Declan and you just sorted him a minute ago. Please? He's the only one I know very much." He crossed his fingers, hoping the hat was really nice and put him with Dec... or at least one of his friends!
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Cʜᴀᴏᴛɪᴄ Life is a rollercoaster and Sebastian is here for the ride. One never knows what Seb is up to, least of all himself. There’s so much to do and see in this world. Why would you want to do the same thing everyday? Life’s short. Dye your hair and be a happy little weirdo.
xxxxx⇾Iᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ With all the cool things in life, why not be creative? There is a great big world, and Seb spends a lot of time dreaming about how it would be to travel and explore everything. With lots of daydreaming comes lots of creative energy, so it’s not uncommon to see him painting somewhere.
xxxxx⇾Cʜʀᴏɴɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ Uɴʟᴜᴄᴋʏ For some people, luck is a roll of the dice. For Sebastian, those dice are weighted to the low rolls. Things just seem to go haywire whenever he’s around. Luckily (haha) because of this, Seb has picked up some random skills to try and counterbalance the luck.
xxxxx⇾Oᴘᴛɪᴍɪsᴛɪᴄ You’d think that being eternally unlucky would make one rather dour, but Seb always finds the silver lining. Fell and scraped his knee? Time for cool bandages. Lost his book? He wanted to read a different genre anyway. Even in the worst of luck, Seb finds the good and rolls with it.
xxxxx⇾Tʜᴏᴜɢʜᴛғᴜʟ Sebastian cares so deeply about people. And thanks to his seemingly endless misfortune, he’s gotten very good at seeing when people need a hand in life. He’ll be the first to make a fool of himself if it makes someone laugh on a bad day. He also loves leaving little gifts or snacks where people can find them, if only to make them smile for a moment.
xxxxx⇾Lᴏʏᴀʟ While Seb hasn’t exactly had the best luck making friends (a chaotic childhood will do that), he’s fiercely loyal to those he loves. It takes a lot to sway him from his loyalty, and he will often go far out of his way for friends. After all, what’s a friend for if not to be ride-or-die?
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... How polite you are though you seem unlucky... Making new friends is indeed hard, but I think you'll have a great adventure in... GRYFFINDOR!
xx❅ Wʜᴇʀᴇ Aᴍ I?The Great Hall xxx❅ Wʜᴏ Is Wɪᴛʜ Mᴇ?Literally the whole school xxxx❅ Wʜᴀᴛ's Gᴏɪɴɢ Oɴ?Being Sorted xxxxx❅ Wʜᴀᴛ's Iɴsɪᴅᴇ Mʏ Hᴇᴀᴅ?So much for hiding...
Llewella sat quietly as Fi and Liv chatted in the boat. Their ride was only a few minutes long, and as soon as they reached the other side, Ella climbed out of the boat and stepped to the side. Everyone else managed to get out, except one kid with bright teal hair, who plunged into the water. Several people tittered, but Ella used the distraction to step back a bit into the shadow. The group, now with an actual professor (versus the lady from the tree). They walked up to the castle, and inside. Finally, she led them into a giant dining hall, where every other student AND the school professors stood. This was literally hell, and Ella wanted to leave and have someone just. pick a house. Any would do. She didn't plan on talking much in any sort of case.
She shrank down, standing in the center, yet as far from actually touching anyone as possible. At least her brothers weren't here. They'd probably boo her... or throw stuff at her. Or use the upside-down spell until someone took mercy and helped her down. (the record was 7 hours and 12 minutes).
Llewella Eynon!"
The professor was chipper, which was just lovely. Ella silently walked up, her head down to hide her face. As she sat, the hat fell over her eyes, granting her the tiniest measure of privacy. All she wanted to do was flee, but even then, it sounded like she'd have to sit at one of the tables, where people were clapping, cheering, and carrying on. Oh god. what if they wanted to talk to her?! Maybe she should've just stayed on the train forever. Lived a life on the rails. At least it'd be quiet for all but a few days a year...
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Hɪᴅᴅᴇɴ The best way to avoid danger is for danger to never find you. Llewella prefers to avoid any sort of confrontation by literally hiding until danger has passed. Due to this, she’s become very good at sneaking about.
xxxxx⇾Cᴀʟᴍ It takes a lot for Llewella to break from her perfectly calm demeanor... and even if someone does, they’d still have her façade of calm to contend with. She’s like a duck. Cool and calm on the surface, while paddling like heck to stay afloat.
xxxxx⇾Cʀᴇᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ When she’s able to show it, Llewella has a ton of creative energy within her. Usually it’s kept hidden, so she channels her creativity into writing or drawings she can easily hide from those that may destroy them.
xxxxx⇾Sᴋɪᴛᴛɪsʜ A lifetime of abuse translates into a constant fear of noises coming nearer. Llewella will always run away if things get too tense, or if someone comes at her with aggression. And if she runs... good luck finding her for a long while.
xxxxx⇾Dʀᴇᴀᴍʏ When you’re trapped in an all-grey room, sometimes your escapes have to be in the form of daydreams. If she is able, she mentally builds a little fantasy world to escape her daily blues.
xxxxx⇾Cᴏᴍᴘᴀssɪᴏɴᴀᴛᴇ For anyone Llewella may ever meet, she will always feel empathy and worry over their plights. Her life has been hard, and she always feels terrible when other people have issues, no matter how small. She hopes offering a listening ear will make others smile, even if she becomes weighed down by the problems of many.
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... A quiet one you are, it will be alright I think the house for you Is the one to give least fright... HUFFLEPUFF!

Graydon Ironshield
Kasamir Aloysius Patrovna Unsorted │ First Year │ Eleven Years Old │ Single
After all the train ride up from London with Emily and Marie, and crossing the Black Lake with all the other First Years, Kasamir found himself standing in the Great Hall of the school. It was impressively large, and he got a sense of a great deal of history having taken place under a ceiling filled with floating candles and the light of uncountable stars. He was also very conscious of the fact the entire student body was here for this occasion.
As he stood there a wash of tiredness crashed over him, like a wave. In a matter of a summer, he’d had his whole life thrown up into the air again, and now he was on the wrong side of two named seas from everything he knew, was living with family he’d barely known to exist not so long before and had been bundled off to a school he’d never thought he would have reason to ever walk its halls. ‘Bozhe moi, let this be done with, so I can eat and maybe get some sleep,’
With the last name of Patrovna, Kasamir knew he would be waiting his turn for a bit. He knew his ‘aunts’, Katya and Faina had been through all of this before him, and he idly wondered what they must have felt at this moment. He knew how he felt, and that was tired and more than a little lost. At least, all that was being asked of him was to sit on a stool and have an ancient looking hat placed on his head.
When his turn finally came, he brushed down his jacket, and walked towards where he’d been told to sit by the newly minted Deputy Headmaster. As the brim was lowered onto the bridge of his nose, he thought, ‘Nice to meet you, Wonderful Sorting Hat; didn’t know what to expect, but it wasn’t this. My cousins were here a few years back, but I don’t know if that makes a difference in your decision. Wherever I’m placed, don’t worry, I’ll see it done.’
Personality:
■ Imaginative- Kas enjoys being in his own little world, sometimes at the expense of what he’s doing in the real world. This also means he can come up with solutions to problems that might not necessarily come to others ■ Practical- Thankfully, his imaginative streak is leavened with a measure of ‘groundedness’; while he might come up with a really great and cool idea, he’ll be the first to torpedo it if he doesn’t think it’ll actually work. ■ Headstrong- Kas has learned that there are times when one must stick to one’s principles, whether folk like it or not. He also knows that one has to carry on with life, even if he might not care to sometimes. ■ Scarred- Physically and emotionally. Kas was in a massive railway accident, he saw both of his parents and his older sister die (yes, he will see the thestrals), and was grievously injured into the bargain himself. While the injuries have healed, he has nightmares and scars, most of which are hidden by his clothes and his hair. ■ Loyal- As a result of seeing his parents die, Kas hangs onto his remaining emotional attachments a little bit tighter than might be expected. ■ Moody- There are times when his moods take a bad turn, and his temper grows short. When he gets into these times, Kas will be elsewhere, rather than cause issue for others

I'm not afraid of getting older, I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder, I'm one less day from dying young
I see my life, Like a train with a one-way track I've made mistakes, And I couldn't take 'em back And I've been runnin' 'round in circles, 'Til I'm dizzy, I can't lie But every night I go to sleep's, A day that I survive
The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... Wonderful Sorting Hat! Why thank you much! This school as well is full of many unexpected things, but don't worry, you'll get quite used to it in... SLYTHERIN!

The Professor set the hat down carefully on the student's head. For a moment the hat was silent before speaking.... A kind heart you have there One that's good for making friends of all kinds Everyone will be safe with you! You'll find a home for your heart in... HUFFLEPUFF!

Lily's heart was beating a million miles an hour and she felt like any second now, she would throw up. She had no anticipated being so nervous. After all, this was Hogwarts. She'd wanted to come here since she learned what it was. However, since mum and dad died, she'd found herself more and more anxious in general. The whole ride here she'd been wringing her hands. When her name was finally called, she took a deep breath, desperately steadying herself. She sat down on the stool and let the large hat fall on her head, almost covering her eyes. She tried to settle herself and clear her mind as much as humanly possible.
QUIET Lily tends to keep to herself. She doesn’t want people pitying her or asking questions so she avoids people the best she can. She has a few friends but even with them she rarely talks and even more rarely shares anything about herself. She’s much happier to be left alone in her room with a book. DELIBERATE Lily does not like anything that isn’t planned. She isn’t the type of person to be spontaneous or change plans if she can help it. She’s committed to being on time and keeping things on time and organized as possible. Any work she does is done with a strategy. EMPATHETIC Despite Lily's reserved nature it is very easy for her to see other's feelings. She has a deep compassion for others, even if she doesn't always show it. She's very sensitive to what upsets others. MELANCHOLY Lily can come across as very serious. She has a hard time showing when she's happy. She closely guards her emotions and tries to keep people at arm's length. She finds it difficult to let go of things that have happened to her in the past. She's always waiting for something else to go wrong. LOYAL When she allows herself to connect with other people, Lily tends to stay by their side. It isn't in her to betray someone else in any capacity. Sometimes she finds it hard to make new friends because she doesn't want to risk hurting those she's already close to. This is especially true after her parent's deaths. CLEVER Lily can easily think on her feet and figure out the best way to solve a problem. She's very analytical and observant of the world around her. She enjoys learning new things and relating the things she learns to others.

Xenobiologick took a deep breath as she stepped into the Great Hall, trying to take in every detail. From the floating candles, the illusion of the night sky above to all of the people gathered at various tables. It was incredible. On top of that, it was nice to finally get away from home. She'd been relishing in it since the moment she stepped onto the train. Now that she was here, it was even better, She had heard plenty about Hogwarts from plenty of family members, but it was impossible to really imagine what it was like in person until now, when she no longer had to imagine. Xeno could barely pull her eyes to the sorting. She was so distracted that she practically jumped when she heard her name being called. She also cringed just a bit hearing it out loud in front of all these people. She gave a small shake of her head and made her way up to the stool, trembling just a tad.
MATURE Xeno has always been called an “Old Soul.” She feels the need to take responsibility on herself. She often puts other needs before her own and she is always ready to take charge of a situation if needs be. FIRM Once Xeno has made a decision, she doesn’t like to change it. She tries to listen to other’s ideas but often finds it hard to incorporate them into her own view. She will always stand up for what she believes in, rarely worrying about the consequences. EMPATHIC Xeno is very in tune with other people’s feelings. She can easily tell when someone is upset and is inclined to do what she can to fix it. She loves to make people happy. Even though she can come across as…prickly, she genuinely cares for other people. PERFECTIONIST Xeno has a specific way she thinks the world should work. She works hard to make sure everything's in order and we’ll taken care of. She is easily bothered by things she views as “off.” SASSY Xeno does not put up with things she doesn’t like and isn’t afraid to show it. She has a tendency to be sarcastic and lets people know when they’re being dumb. If people don’t respect her, she finds it hard to respect them back. AUTHENTIC Xeno is who she is. She isn’t about to change that for anyone. She’s comfortable in her own skin and doesn’t doubt her instincts or decisions about herself. What you see is what you get

After meeting Obadiah at the docks and helping to collect all the first years, Phoebe led the group up to the school, perhaps a bit slower than her normal speed to make sure they could all keep up. After all, it wouldn't do to have anyone get lost on the way! Once the group entered the school, Phoebe explained the basics, talking about the school, ghosts, paintings, and eventually, preparing them for their sorting ceremony. Finally, she opened the doors at the Antechamber, then led the way to the front, stopping the first years in their area until the ceremony.
The blonde stepped up to the podium, clearing her throat before she spoke to the school. "Good evening one and all. For those that are returning, it's lovely to have you back once more. And for our new students, hello and welcome to your new school. For everyone who doesn't know me, my name is Professor Phoebe Clarke. I'm the teacher of Astronomy, years 4-7, the head of Hufflepuff House, and your Deputy Headmistress. Tonight, I'll be leading our sorting ceremony, which will be followed by a lovely dinner.
Without further ado, let's begin!"
She grabbed her list of students, then lifted the Sorting Hat from its pedestal. Phoebe drew in a breath, then called the first student on this year's list.

Okay, so. The process from getting off the train and into the school had been a nightmare. Despite wanting a bit more independence, Adelai had to admit it was probably smarter that he'd brought his wheelchair today. Thankfully, he could still take some steps without support otherwise getting into the boat would be a nightmare. The groundskeeper - Adi was told to call him Obi - had been a huge help in getting the preteen over to the school. Once the boats got to the docks, Adi watched with mismatched eyes as his new classmates effortlessly climbed up and out of the boats. He had had to wait for Obi and Professor Clarke to use a little magic (and a little ingenuity) to lift him and his chair up onto the dock.
Thankfully from there was a little easier, just a long uphill path into the castle proper. But man, his arms were pretty tired! He was infinitely curious about the school itself, especially since his mom had kept it all hush-hush. As he trailed the other kids in his class into a huge dining hall, the dark-haired boy couldn't help but be in a bit of awe. This place was huge! Adi was definitely nervous, but he'd read about the houses in advance and he figured they'd all be pretty awesome. He watched his classmates get sorted one by one, until his own name was called.
" 'Scuse me... pardon... watch your toes..." He mumbled softly as he wheeled between his fellow first years and up to the front. Just as he started to stand on shaky legs, Professor Clarke stepped down, gently patting his shoulder until he was safely seated once more. She set the hat on his head, and Adi drew in a deep breath to try and calm his racing heart.
"Hey there, Mister Hat. I was wondering how they sorted us. D'you think you can put me somewhere fun? My mom was a Gryffindor, and that sounds pretty okay... B-but wherever you think is best is okay too!"
xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx
xxxxx⇾Iᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ Living in a creative world lends to creative thoughts. Adelai loves inventing new ways to make life interesting and fun, especially if it benefits others
xxxxx⇾Cᴏᴜʀᴀɢᴇᴏᴜs Standing up for those around requires a certain level of bravery. And no matter what, Adelai will always muster up his courage to do what's right, no matter how scary the circumstances.
xxxxx⇾Fᴏᴏʟɪsʜ Courage lends itself to fools. And though Adelai follows his own morals, sometimes he goes through crazy hoops to get things done. He has very little self-awareness sometimes, and has ended up in odd situations a time or two because of it.
xxxxx⇾Rᴇᴀʟɪsᴛɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ Oᴘᴛɪᴍɪsᴛɪᴄ Optimism, but within restraint. Adelai always looks on the bright side of life... within reason. He’s painfully aware that the world’s not all sunshine and daisies, but he tries to look for positives wherever he can.
xxxxx⇾Lᴏɢɪᴄᴀʟ Adelai’s mind works in blueprints and schematics. He loves deconstructing things and piecing them back together in order to learn how they work. Every action has logical consequences, and he likes knowing what all of these are. If there’s a problem, Adi can usually puzzle it out from context alone.
xxxxx⇾Cᴀʀɪɴɢ Adelai deeply cares about everyone in the world around. He always assumes people have a good heart, and sometimes just need a caring hand in life. He’s always willing to lend an ear or shoulder to cry on, and he tries to at least smile at everyone he sees. Expect him to provide compliments frequently and entirely at random.
