Perseus Karanos | First Year | Gryfindor
General Information


Full Name- Perseus Brion Dixon Lewis Karanos
Nickname(s)- Percy, Tiger Cub
Age- 11 years
Birthday- July 28th, 2008
Birthplace- Ayr, Scotland

Species- Wizard
Year- 1st Year
House- Gryffindor
Blood Status- Pureblood
Personality- Perseus is a free spirit and quite goofy like one of his older brothers, Theron. He hates being told what to do and usually disobeys authority figures purposefully, often challenging them. Percy is a pretty energetic kid and to compliment this trait he is also extremely adventurous, trying new things is something Percy highly enjoys doing. He is also extremely determined when actually wanting to do something and rarely stops once a goal is set, his family thinks these traits make him a great leader as well. Percy is also extremely skilled at remembering things whether it be a cool new hobby, geared towards sports or anything else he can remember it. Even if he isn't the smartest kid this still helps him get fairly good grades.
Although he has quite a few great personality traits, he also has a few negative ones. Percy can be incredibly stubborn and rebellious, as stated previously he hates being told what to do and this gets him in trouble a fair amount. His energy also has a hand in doing this as he is prone to roughhousing and has caused several injuries to himself and fellow peers. Perseus is also quite impatient, although he can take negative answers he despises people who take too long to do anything and while he can deal with it, this annoys him a lot. Another negative trait of his is that somehow Percy can hold a grudge for such a long time, no matter what you do he will almost always hold some sort of grudge against you. Getting on his bad side once is something he will remember forever.
Appearance- Perseus Karanos has very dark hair with grey-blue eyes. He has fair skin with a soft pink lips along with a pretty round and small nose. His hair is pretty messy along with being quite wavy, he inherits this from his parents although once he gets older his hair becomes more curly. Percy has a pretty athletic body as he enjoys playing sports and running around but he is also fairly thin. He stands at around five foot six which is pretty short for the rest of his family but quite tall for normal standards. Percy gets his looks mainly from his father while his siblings are more of a wild card, although most look more like his mother.

Wand- 30,2 cm redwood and unicorn hair. Swishy, very appropriate for a duelist, efficient for both attack and defensive spells.
Patronus- Not applicable until the 6th year
Patronus Ideas- Bear, Dog, Hawk

Siblings- Percy has 5 siblings, two sisters named Delia and Kassia and three brothers named Theron, Mackie, and Ervin. All of which are older than Percy. Theron, Mackie and Delia are all in Ravenclaw while Mackie and Ervin are in Slytherin. Percy gets on relatively well with his siblings for being the youngest except for Ervin who is the oldest out of all of them. Ervin and Percy consistently argue because they are polar opposites, Ervin is uptight and obsessive in Percy's opinion while Percy is laid-back and more free than Ervin. Percy hopes to be in a different house than Ervin so they don't have to see each other all the time.
Percy looks up to one sibling only, the sibling he aspires to be is Theron. Theron is creative and goofy, one of the friendliest people Percy knows and they get along best. Percy remembers the most about Theron and vise versa as Theron introduced several things to Percy and taught him a bunch.
While Percy does get along with his sisters okay he prefers his brothers over all, maybe because he can relate to them a lot more than his sisters or maybe just because it's a personal preference but either way it's true.
Parents- His father was an Auror and Slytherin named Dixon Karanos and his mother is a Healer and Ravenclaw named Amelia King. They met when his father got in a horrible accident which resulted in 32 of his bones being broken, one of his ribs were shattered. He had recently captured a well wanted criminal but in the process gotten himself blasted backwards into a metal door, although he was very alive at the arrival to St. Mungos he was in horrible condition and needed immediate care. His nurse had been none other than Amelia and she healed him over a few weeks. The began dating one month after he left the hospital and got married two years into dating, before they had married Dixon had gotten a job as a bartender at the Three Broomsticks. After being married for three years the couple had their first baby named Ervin and he was named after Dixon's father who had passed away the previous year.
Backstory- Perseus Dixon Karanos was born to a family of seven, his addition making it eight. His father was an Auror and now a bartender at the Three Broomsticks who is married to a Healer working at St. Mungos. The couple already had five children and vowed to make Perseus their last and that vow would be kept until the present day. At a young age Percy showed incredible determination, he would not stop trying to communicate to his family and hit his developmental markers extremely early as he would not stop trying to follow after his siblings. Percy was already quite active once he turned six, he had joined his siblings in playing Quidditch in their front yard despite having no clue what he was doing and often explored the nearby forest. It was clear that Perseus was already an exceptional child.
At the age of seven Percy showed his first sign of magic, something his entire family had anticipated since he was born. The boy was playing on a toy broom and somehow found his way onto the roof of the house. This wasn't magic as his father had enchanted the broom to go higher than normally allowed but once atop the roof he fell off the broom and down a good three floors. Before hitting the ground, young Percy had levitated a few inches above the ground and remained unscathed with only the memory as proof to those who didn't see it.
Perseus had a pretty normal and happy childhood except for in his neighborhood he was bullied quite a bit. He would often be pushed and hit by the older kids because Percy was seen as defenseless and weak. This only made him tougher though, as he learned how to stand up for himself and others. Even though this eventually led to a good outcome it still left him having significantly low self-confidence and self-esteem as the kid's words and actions were plenty to deplete it. His eventual toughness earned him his nickname Tiger Cub from his family and friends.

Relationships


The Bold
Reducio
N/A


The Wise
Reducio
Amelia Karanos (Mother | 37)- Quite strict and driven, she knows what she wants all of the time and doesn't waste time reaching for it. Also quite clever, she finds quick and simple solutions to everyday problems with little to no issue.
Theron Karanos (Older Brother | 14)- Extremely creative and intuitive, Theron is easily Percy's favorite family member. Theron has a bit of an issue keeping his mouth shut but Percy find this quite amusing, he is quite intelligent like most of his siblings but chooses not to be cocky.
Mackie (Older Brother | 12)- Mackie is way quieter than the rest of the family. He prefers to remain inside and read or actually do work while most the other family enjoys being outside and active. Mackie is arguably the smartest sibling as he knows how to keep his mouth shut unlike the others. Mackie is the favorite child clearly.
Delia (Older Sister | 13)- Delia is kind of..edgy. She doesn't stay exactly hidden from the family but she does go a good deal out of her way to avoid most of them. Her friends were the main bullies of Percy as he grew up which led to Percy avoiding her as well. Delia is quite independent (a trait shared with Percy) and observant which is probably why she was put in Ravenclaw. She is also a bit too proud for Percy's liking.


The Just
Reducio
Griffin King (Great Uncle | 67 | Adopted?)- Griffin is extremely kind to everyone in the family but it is not the other way around at all. The entire family despises him for being put into a different house as they didn't live up to the family expectations of Ravenclaw and Slytherin. Percy is pretty sure that because he was sorted into Gryffindor he will grow to be just like Griffin.
George Henry (Friend | 12)- George is a muggle-born Hufflepuff that was quite nice to Percy. He even lent the Gryffindor his notes during a particularly boring History of Magic lesson. Percy already considers the boy to be a friend of his despite them meeting only during one class.


The Ambitious
Reducio
Ervin Karanos (Eldest Brother | 16)- Ervin is SO ANNOYING. Easily Percy's least favorite sibling, Ervin stands at the top of the Karanos siblings. He is incredibly ambitious and incredibly cocky, the second he got sorted into Slytherin he sent an owl out to everyone he knew just to tell them. Ervin also is very judgmental about your house and blood status, also being very proud of being Pureblooded and quite wealthy.
Kassia Karanos (Eldest Sister | 15)- Before Mackie was born, Kassia was the favorite child. She is the model child for the family and easily the most determined to reach her goals. Kassia isn't afraid to step on people to get to where she wants to be but she is also pretty friendly (despite her cut-throat attitude). She has never gotten a bad grade in her entire existence and never gotten in trouble which is why she used to be the favorite. Lord knows why it's now Mackie but Percy does know that Kassia is eternally angry at Mackie for being born or something like that.
Dixon Karanos (Father | 38)- Dixon is a very ambitious businessman with incredible leadership skills, even though every profession he's had wasn't really like a business he still acts like it. Dixon isn't more of a father figure rather than the family boss, he tell the kids what to do and when to do it and if they don't there are dire consequences. Dixon is also absent from the home often, the family doesn't really know what he does but decides it best not to question. Percy isn't sure if Dixon loves him but he does know that his wrath will be the worse when he gets home.
