Name: Marshall O'Leary
Age: 15
Gender: male
Year: 5th
House: Slytherin
Wand: Cherrywood, 11 inches, core of ground up basilisk scales (wand is a family heirloom), strong and sharp, perfect for dueling.
Classes: ancient runes, astronomy, care of magical creatures, charms, defense against the dark arts, history of magic, potions, and transfiguration
Description: Marshall is just a bit tall for his age at 6 feet and stands out a bit further with his bright and messy red hair. His eyes are a light but shiny blue. He has a moderate build, not really skinny but not at all on the plump side either. You might say he was strongly built though he refrains from showing off that fact unless someone is being particularly stubborn. He has the kind of firm voice that makes people listen.
Personality: He is strong willed, competitive, and determined but unlike many other Slytherins he is fair. By his view it's not really a competition, and hence not really a victory, if you cheat to win. He is very driven and overly defensive about his family. He is fair but he is not excessively patient. He can be provoked by someone who continually defends a position that has been proven wrong if they have been ordered to abandon it by a superior (superior meaning a head boy/girl or an instructor)
(Brief) History: The O'Leary's were once a very wealthy and prominent wizarding family. Over time though, both their wealth and reputation faded. When it almost seemed their family had hit it's lowest (having to sell their ancestral manor to pay off debts) Voldemort rose to power. Seeking to regain some of their family honor and name, Marshall's greedy uncle pledged his support for the dark lord. The rest of the family did not but that hardly mattered to public opinion. So, Marshall grew up in shadow with his family being feared because of his uncle's allegiance to Voldemort. When Voldemort fell, and his uncle sent to Azkaban, Marshall found that his family was shunned and ridiculed even though they had never supported Voldemort. Wanting to restore his family's name and standing he decided he wanted to become an auror, to stand against beings like Voldemort. Although he is very good at heart he is also very driven and ambitious for the sake of his family so when his first year came he was sorted into Slytherin. He has developed quite the reputation in his years at Hogwart's as being strict with those who would break rules but still being fair. Many students have learned that he is an alright fellow despite being in Slytherin but many more have learned it is unwise to cross him.
(Obligatory) Other: Marshall is a prefect and a beater for the Slytherin house quidditch team. He is also their newly appointed Captain as their last captain just graduated the previous year. He excells at Defense Against the Dark Arts, Potions, and Charms but is only an average student in his other classes, performing only well enough to get through them without raising the instructor's notice. He has a female great horned owl named Valkyrie.
