PERSONALITY: Michael is as outgoing as it gets for a thirteen year old, who wants to be admired, respected and liked by everyone.

Despite his moderate intelligence, he never thinks outside of class and jumps to action as well as jumping to conclussions.

CHARACTER HISTORY
------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Michael was born to Kevin and Amanda Byrne in Tinworth, England. He was a normal, healthy sized baby who grew up in a middle class, loving home. At the age of five, due to his mother's persistence, Michael was home schooled in the basics of muggle knowledge, including mathematics, reading and writing, and grammar, even though Kevin found the whole idea ridiculous and useless.
At the age of seven, he showed his first bit of magical blood by turning his mother's hair blue as he tried to stop her from taking his toy broom. This excited both Kevin and Amanda so much that they returned the broom and even forgot the punishment they were gonna give him for wandering off to far. This gave Michael his first taste of what happens when you do great things.
Hogwarts Years: Hogwarts was, and still is, Michael's favorite place in the world. He was never abused, he was actually spoiled to a degree, but the deft of magic in the place intrigued him and so did the number of people his own age. Being an only sibling, he never had someone to show off in front of, and he relished the opportunity.
During his first year, Michael kept his nose down during classes, receiving above average marks in his classes and making new friends everyday. Outside of class, he let his nose get a little dirtier, watching the older students and how they did things, and more importantly, what they liked and how they got out of trouble.
Michael's second year was a more exciting experience, with his most brilliant idea being to sneak into the kitchen's, and steal some snacks for his house-mates. The least brilliant involved a dive into the lake and trying to grab and ride the giant squid, which resulted in a week of detentions. Despite these extracurricular activities, his grades stayed at the same point they were, with some fluctuations up and down slightly.
Adulthood: N/A

RP SAMPLE: - Spoiler:
Mum! Michael protested, trying to get his hair to spike back up after his mother's most recent attempt to flatten it. She didn't seem to get the fact that it looked better this way, cooler. What would she try next, pinching his cheeks and telling him how cute he looked?
His father was saying something to her, hopefully to leave him alone in front of his friends or whatnot. He wasn't really paying attention to them; his mind was preoccupied with the scarlet train sitting right in front of him. Thirty more minutes and he would be on it, back to school where he could get a laugh, a pat on the back, and admiring looks all in an hour. Who cared that from where he was standing, he was catching the horrid smell of burnt wood with no chance of evading it. The train was his getaway, and as such, he held it with as much love and care as any human could hold for a steam powered behemoth.
Simply waving back to those who said "Hi" to him, his eyes rested on the clock above as his elbow rested on the stone pillar, Michael's left hand slowly rubbing the back of his head. Come on you blasted, thing. Move faster. Thankfully, it seemed his mother hadn't heard that whisper, for it would surely mean a slap in the back of the head. With one quick glance at the person in question, he spotted something that had been hidden before. His Mum was staring at the train and students with a glint of envy in her eyes, as if she wanted nothing more than to step on the train and head off to Hogwarts. It makes sense, Michael thought, she never got the chance
The thought was quickly cut off however, as the Engineer called for them all to board the train, and with a twinge of sadness for his muggle mother, he gave her a kiss on the cheek, his father a hug, and boarded the scarlet engine for another year of magic.
