APPEARANCE
------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOR: Cooper Brown
EYE COLOR: Russet Brown
HEIGHT: 6’0 | 1.85m
BODY TYPE: Julien is well-fed, but that is not a euphemism for plus-sized. Instead, thanks to his penchant for athletics, it is all turning out rather nicely, as his body progresses from a boy’s to a young man’s. Julien’s shoulders have become rather sturdy and fairly muscled. His limbs and torso are decently toned and lean. If he keeps true to his Delacour roots, the boy should find himself rather statuesque in years to come.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Part of the requirement of being a Delacour is to be well-presented. Generations of Delacours are taught, from a tender age, the importance and the manner in which they should be groomed and be dressed like. While the availability of wardrobe is Julien also likes to add a bit of fun to what he wears.

QUIRKS:
Julien has a tendency to breathe very loudly, especially when he sleeps. He also clenches his fists habitually, as if he is frequently attempting to grasp onto something. The boy often impatient and frustrated over something, and one can always find him tapping his foot in thought, or tapping his fingers against any surface.
BOGGART: Darkness, the one that you are subjected to when you are asleep or unconscious. This is undoubtedly related to his mental condition.
PATRONUS: A Stallion, although Julien is barely proficient at it, and would need more time and practice to ensure success at producing a Patronus at will, anytime.
DEMENTOR: Losing his father made a negatively significant impact on the boy’s life. After all, Jan had been a loving father who spent time with his family whenever he was not down for a mission with the other Aurors in France.
VERITASERUM: His mental condition, a sort of momentary paralysis that Healers have attributed to problems arising from the years of secret and scandalous inbreeding that takes place among the Pureblood families, typically those from the Elite community. Unlike his twin, Julien is a victim of this silent but damaging quality in the head, when one shuts down without warning, something which poses great danger at moments when a reaction or action is required of the person. While this means that Julien shouldn’t especially be taking part in sports like Quidditch, and even duelling, the condition has been kept under control by a prescription by the family’s Healer, who has emphasised time and again on the importance of consuming it every morning. If the condition does act up during the day, the potion must be forced into the boy’s mouth, even in his state of paralysis. Should he also wish to avoid sleep paralysis, another dose must be taken before sleep every night. It is surely a good thing that the Delacours have the wealth to sustain such an expensive need for the boy.
MIRROR OF ERISED: Himself, accomplished, healthy, and with his complete family.
PERSONALITY: While Julien has got a Quarter-Veela blood going for him, the impeccable impression that he asserts onto people’s minds can easily be ruptured if one tries hard enough to locate the elusive loophole to his person. Once that has been uncovered, the mere image would be shattered. Behind this deceptive perfection lies a boy who is plagued with an illness that has been said by Healers to be permanent and progressively deteriorating. The boy’s life will be one that is heavily dependent on the potion mixed by his Healer, for as long as he lives. Because of this, Julien has become a sort of fighter, refusing to be constrained by the seeming limits of his body. He has surprisingly achieved far more than was expected of him as a child. Given a possession of Delacour charm, the boy is also very well-liked. All of these have made him expect the best for himself, and to also believe himself to be the best, moulding the boy into a rather egocentric and demanding one, even if his charm and friendliness seem to make up for it.
