Appearance: William is about 5'7" tall, and weighs around 70kg. He has dark brown hair and green eyes, and his hair curls into a spiral on either side of his head. All his efforts to straighten his hair have failed so he accepts the curls and doesn't try to mess with them. When he attends classes he wears the standard Hogwarts uniform and robes aside from one addition: his Dad's blazer from back when he was at Hogwarts. The blazer modified itself to reflect Will's house and house colours, and Will figured out that his Dad spelled it so it'd grow with him and not wear out. When he's not attending classes he likes wearing jeans, T-shirts and hoodies during the colder months, and swaps the jeans for shorts in the warmer months. He hates dress robes, and will only wear formal wear like that if he has to.

Blood (Muggle-born, Pure-blood, Squib, Half-blood, you can also have veela blood or other such things): Half-blood. His Dad's a wizard, and his Mum's a muggle.

House: Hufflepuff

Sexuality: Still figuring it out, but not something he really thinks about.

Personality: William's very friendly and likes meeting new people. He has no problems with working hard to achieve his goals, but if he's working with someone and they don't work hard as well he's not impressed. He's very loyal, and once you have his loyalty you have it for life unless you do something to him or someone he cares about that's truly unforgiveable. He does have a temper, and a tendency to be stubborn as well. There are times when he doesn't think before he speaks, but if he offends someone when he does so he will apologise.

Background: William's Dad (Daniel) went to Hogwarts, and in his final year (1993-1994, Harry Potter's 3rd year at Hogwarts) his Muggle-born friends were talking about having a "gap year" after finishing school. So he bugged his parents about going on one too, and luckily for him they agreed. He left to spend a year in Australia and New Zealand, and returned from New Zealand a year later with a fiancee called Susan. His parents were very surprised by this, and were also worried about his fiancee being a Muggle. Daniel initially thought his parents were being anti-Muggle, but his parents then explained that Voldemort had been resurrected only weeks before their arrival in England. They also explained that Muggles and Muggleborns were no longer safe in England.

Daniel and Susan decided to return to New Zealand to protect themselves from being one of Voldemort's targets. The two of them were married soon after they returned to New Zealand, and William was born in 1997. The three of them returned to England after finding out that Harry Potter had killed Voldemort once and for all, and settled down.

When William was seven he was watching TV one day, and suddenly the characters came out of the TV set and ran around the living room. His Mum saw this and realised that William was a wizard like his Father. She eventually grew used to finding the odd Smurf or Fraggle running around the house in the afternoons until William turned 11, received his letter for Hogwarts, and left for school at the start of the next school year.

William started playing Quidditch in his second year at Hogwarts when some of the older players graduated, and became a Chaser. Now William is entering his fifth year of school and is balancing playing Quidditch and studying for his OWL levels. He still isn't sure what he wants to do after finishing his seventh year at Hogwarts, but he still has plenty of time to decide.
