➥ Personality
▶ IRRITABLE — Apparently, Garnet's nasty temper is something he inherited from his father, the only difference is the fact that Garnet has better control of it. He gets easily annoyed and would make snarky and sarcastic quips, but most of the time Garnet would simmer in resentment that it makes him come across as someone who has a big chip on the shoulder. His words can be short and terse when he is talking to someone he doesn't like, but Garnet is very intent on not starting a fight so most of the time he simple bite his tongue. That is, unless, you trigger his ire to the point that Garnet gets really angry. It's a real disaster when he gets angry.
▶ WARY — He observes before he speaks or acts, and that's how Garnet rolls. He doesn't think that diving things headfirst is a good idea for anyone, nor was letting his first thoughts take the wheel of his actions. He could also be a bit too wary of things around him, leading him to have anxious thoughts and it makes him quite restless. He can be really cynical, too, as he grew the mentality that he should keep his guard so much that he ended up getting trust issues... So good luck earning his trust when you meet him
▶ DEPENDABLE — Garnet's sense of self-control and nobility can be recognized, making other people trust responsibility on him. Whether he liked it or not. Either way, Garnet will take it if necessary and will always do his best to keep his word. He can get very uptight when he's doing his job, though there are also times that he would bend the rules if he wants to. Nevertheless, Garnet is very dutiful and no-nonsense; some people might find it hard to imagine him lying actually.
▶ ASPIRING — Someone who had a lot to prove to himself, Garnet wanted to do anything to be recognized as himself- whichs means not being compared to other people. He doesn't allow others to define him especially when it's from the lack of information. He always sets his goals ahead and does his best to be determined enough to make his life worth living. Despite his suffering cynicism, Garnet always believes that his life still has a purpose for his surroundings. And, when he has settled on the goal, Garnet is the type to go for it and grind until he got it.
▶ COMPASSIONATE — Garnet, while he usually stays in his shell, happens to have a really warm and sensitive side; In other words, he's never a cold person to start with. He's willing to help anyone and would try his effort to listen to people who needed help, though at first he would be a bit reluctant on what he should do first to anyone who needed help. When someone is sincerely nice to him, Garnet will be willing to return the favor. And when it comes to his friends and family, he could be really altruistic and protective
▶ RESERVED — Garnet isn't really great in expressing himself, preferring to keep things to himself if possible. It's kind of difficult to get him out of his hard shell and Garnet doesn't really talk much unless he has to, and him talking a lot is one sign that things aren't going well. He almost doesn't meddle in other people's affairs unless it's absolutely necessary. Sadly, Garnet's reserved nature is easily mistaken for being "unfriendly".

➥ Background History
▶ CHILDHOOD —
Garnet is the only son of Jasper Mortemer and Amelia Weaver, respectively a Hit Wizard and a Wizengamot Member. Jasper's family is quite a family sneered upon since the end of the Second Wizarding War, as it was strongly proven that the amount of the Mortemer family members participated on Voldemort's side. Some were convicted and went to prison, while some managed to dodge a bullet and continued the family's wealthy line because some of them, while supporting Voldemort from the distance, didn't really join the Death Eaters army hence they didn't get that Dark Mark tattoo, so they were presumed that they were being imperioused or something like that. Besides, Garnet's grandfather was way too busy traveling the globe collecting stuff to participate in that stuff, anyway, so he was spared too. Anyway, Garnet's parents met in Hogwarts. His mother was known to be a really good, just, and upstanding person from House Slytherin. His dad was in Gryffindor and he was a really brilliant student, only that he faced the stigma of his family's bad reputation. When she hooked up with him in their sixth year, people around them started giving him the benefit of the doubt, while some think that if she was a just and smart person maybe there was a reason why she was hanging out with him. Some say that it might be a second chance, some say that it was because she never discriminates anyone.
When they got married, they were beginning to question them more and more. Both of them struggle to their position but was able to finally get their position because her good reputation in Hogwarts and her grades were something that Law Office cannot deny. The father finally got his position, given the fact that he has excellent grades that the department didn't have a good reason to turn him down other than blatant discrimination. Also, they had a kid when they were like around 19 in their honeymoon, and usually Jasper's grandparents took care of Garnet while they build up their jobs. He lives in a manor with his parents, his grandparents, and his uncle albeit not often; His uncle Topaz was a cursebreaker, and every time he came back to the manor there was always a fight going on; aunt Beryl and uncle Lazuli were living in Norfold and want nothing to do with Jasper and Agate. Garnet's father, however, was pretty much busy in his job to one point that his mother Amelia did not approve of it.
Every time Garnet's parents weren't around, his grandfather Agate would be harsh over him in hopes of making his magic show because of the fact that he was a late bloomer, that it made Garnet feel bad about being a "squib". It ended up with his grandmother Ester fighting against Agate and was protective to Garnet as a result. Garnet would try to say this to his father but he wouldn't listen and tell him to get over it, but fortunately his mother did so he grew attached to her. His grandfather figured that his grandson won't get his magic due to the mother so he told Jasper to fix it, though it didn't work as she was good at threats as well.
One day, something happened around the manor, well, something incredibly bad when he was around eight. One time, his father and his grandfather got into a fight and the next day, the grandfather died without any injuries. It was proven that there were harmful chemicals inside him, it turned that he was poisoned and was assumed that it has something to do with his hobby of collecting precious stones, and he apparently mishandled a poisonous one. But Garnet's grandmother thought otherwise that given that Jasper was obsessed with getting the heir position because he thought he was much worthy than the rest. She told Amelia and Lazuli's wife Georgia (who was a witch watcher) to investigate and months later they found some pieces of evidence that were pointed to Jasper. They contact the Law Enforcement with their evidence, but it was too late and Jasper escaped. Months later, Garnet got the news of his aunt Beryl, her lover Robert, and aunt Georgia being murdered by his father. Lazuli and Beryl's daughter Esmeralda were the only ones to survive. After that news, Garnet grew cynical as time went by and refused to be alone in the manor, so he was usually with his grandmother when his mother was at work. His uncle Topaz, probably because of guilt, decided to take his responsibility as a family head with Ester.
One time in January, when Garnet was ten and showing magic, his father appeared again during their family dinner to take his son from them- He planned to kill his brother, his wife, and his mother as retribution of throwing him under the bus. Ester abruptly refused but she got hit by a stunning spell before she could bring out her wand, and the remaining two engaged in a duel with him. During the crossfire, Garnet was injured by his father's fire spell and his uncle come to his aid. His mother Amelia, however, was enraged by her husband and injured him with a sectumsempra scar, forcing him to escape and apparate. After that, Garnet has yet to shake from whatever happened during that time. He no longer talked to his neighbors and didn't come out of the house as often as he used to do. His mother and his uncle tried to console him as much as possible, but it seemed like it has stuck to Garnet's head and resulting in a bitter attitude. Anyway, he has magic now, so he was going to Hogwarts like all others.

Anyway, he has magic now, so he was going to Hogwarts like all others.
▶ SCHOOL LIFE — Garnet, whether he liked it or not, attended Hogwarts. His train ride was initially quiet until he met a redhead muggleborn named Deaus, and he was his first friend in Hogwarts aside from Richard. After that, he was sorted to Slytherin just like his mother, which was one of the things that made him happy than anything. Other than that, he excelled at Herbology with his love for nature, and the rest were pretty much quiet for him if he ignored some sneers from strangers. Anyway, he also met another Gryffindor named Lucy Jacobs, a friendly (absent-minded) and upbeat classmate. Overall, Garnet came to think that maybe his first wasn't as bad as he expected.
His second year was uneventful, but his summer after that came out better as his grandmother took him to Norway for a summer vacation. At the start of his third year was okay as his mother approved the permission slip for him to go to Hogsmeade and hang out with Alec and Lucy. Also a Hufflepuff classmate named Clara Bautista persuaded him to join the Music Club after hearing his singing voice, to which he protested at first then felt resigned after finding out her stubbornness. Throughout the year, it was uneventful until at Spring when Peter Whyte confronted him at the Ground Floor Corridor into berating him about his infamous family name. Garnet was insulted and struggled holding his temper until he went to insult his mother and accused her of her being "crazy." Because Peter refused to take back what he said, Garnet snapped and viciously beat the lights out of Peter until two prefect, Diantha Warlow and Wren Argall, decided to take action with Wren restraining Garnet before he could do more damage to Peter. Both of them were sent to detention, being forced to clean out bedpans together in the infirmary. The event drastically affected Garnet's, as he was being under the impression that he was more hated at school, and so he just could not wait to go home- but at the same he was also too ashamed to go because of what his family might think of him.
Garnet then spent his entire summer having to visit a mind healer, courtesy to his uncle Topaz who was worried about his nephew's well-being (or probably being like his father). He spent the remainder at home being self-deprecating and dreading about school back to school, that caused him to have rough edges with his family. He did, however, met a Slytherin girl named Treva Warlow- a metamorphagus who was half-annoying, except Garnet didn't really hate her. In fact, she made him have some smiles albeit rarely. He was in-between brushing off his emotions, not paying attention to what he's feeling, and just rolling his eyes. On the other hand, Garnet spent some time helping Richard out for his OWLs and spent the remainder avoiding strangers.
Garnet's start of his fifth was full of surprises. First, he was appointed as prefect with Phoebe when he could not see himself as one in the first place, until his mother talked to him out of it. Second, during the start of the year- he and Treva had an heated conversation about their unsettled romantic feelings towards each other, except that was quickly settled and they began dating. Garnet found it weird at first, but he eventually warmed up to it and find the relationship very nice. He was probably the factor about the fact that Treva got into less trouble than usual over the course of the year, which he found it relieving. But then again, someone had to be the more lawful one in the pair. On the other hand, he passed almost all of his OWLs including the ones he struggled through hard work- much to his content.
His summer before starting his sixth year was quite eventful, as Treva had been hanging out in his home more often due to what seemed to be a chaotic situation in her home at Wales, involving adultery and hypocrisy. Garnet wasn't very happy about her family, but also he was deeply concerned for what Treva would do out of resentment or anger. Other than that, he was spending his time doing usual schoolwork, snogging with his girlfriend, and occasionally help Rich with his NEWTs. Now that his sixth year has ended, he was looking forward for her cousin Esmeralda to attend Hogwarts.
Garnet started his seventh year with a big surprise: being Head Boy. He was at first shocked, but he came to accept it with no intention of surrendering it to the authorities. He was eventually filled with assurance that the authority trusted him and so he willingly took his position seriously. On the other hand, he tried to keep his assistance for his first-year cousin Esmeralda less than he would have liked, knowing that she never liked being assisted. Which was annoying but then he has NEWTs to pull an all-nighter about anyway. Speaking of all-nighter, Garnet also had to send a School Nurse to the Hospital Wing, after discovering that he was really ill and overworked anyways. Which was very ironic. Other than that he passed the tests with flying colors, enough to apply for a job in the hospital.
