------------------------------------------------------------
APPEARANCE------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR COLOUR: Blonde
EYE COLOUR: Blue-Grey
COMPARATIVE HEIGHT: Tall
BODY BUILD: Skinny but tall. Has muscles from Quidditch as well.
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Percy isn't what you'd normally think of when you hear "Greek". That's probably because his dad is Greek, and his mum is British. Strange combination perhaps, but it's given him his blonde hair when he either wears messy or spiked in some way, his blue-grey eyes which aren't as common in the Greek community, and his height. He's rather tall compared to his classmates, though he's about to be a seventh year so that's not all that surprising. He hit his growth spurt late, but shot up seemingly over night. He lives in England during the holidays, but travels often. He's fairly pale for living in sunny places during most of his summers, and has perhaps only a few freckles or birth marks. Nothing dramatic or particularly fascinating.

VERITASERUM: Though it may seem inevitable, Percy's afraid that his being a wizard will distance him from his family forever. That's why he spends so much time with them when he can.
MIRROR OF ERISED:
PERSONALITY: When you first meet him: Percy is outgoing for the most part, friendly to almost anyone - even if he's heard bad things about them. He's not one to judge based upon rumors or word of mouth. He's almost always smiling, unless he's got a job to do. In that case, he's very serious and sometimes even funny things don't get him chuckling or cracking a smile.
Once you know him well: He's definitely one to tease people, and while he doesn't prank anyone himself, he's not opposed to them. Overall, he's very good-natured and puts up with a lot. He figures that's why he's so friendly and adventurous. It takes a lot to slow him down or ruin his good mood.
If he doesn't like you: You're in trouble. (mostly kidding). He'll avoid someone before he starts conflict, but if someone initiates a situation, he's not going to back down.
If he likes you: He wouldn't say he's obvious about it, but he kind of is. He likes to think it's a secret, but that's highly unlikely. He's a naturally affectionate person because his parents are, and because he wishes they could be more affectionate towards him even though he's different from them. That said, he definitely wants to show someone that he cares if he really does.
He doesn't often get nervous or scared, because he thinks his way out of problems, but if he is, it can be hard to tell. He likes to put up a wall, or a sort of.. macho exterior to prove that he's brave, but anyone who really knows him can see right through it. He isn't one to ask for help, but if he's given it, he'll be eternally grateful. He is, however, quick to help others.

CHARACTER HISTORY------------------------------------------------------------
Early Years: Percy grew up in Greece until he was nine with his parents and older brother. When they found out he was a wizard - they'd suspected he was different, but didn't understand - the family moved to England where they hoped he could attend the school and control his magic more properly. His brother Demitrius once said he was jealous and scared of Percy, which made him feel like an outsider. Over time, everyone in his family became used to it, but he still feels a need to be overly open and affectionate towards them to prove that he's still the same person. The family moved into the same town as Adrienne Reynolds and they became fast friends. Until he was eleven, he would borrow books from her, or visit their house to learn about the world he couldn't understand.
Hogwarts Years: He started school the same year as Addie, and soon met other students and became good friends with many. He's outgoing enough that it doesn't take much to make you his friend - at least in his opinion! He has done well in his classes so far, but is nervous for his NEWTs next year. He doesn't have a hard time focusing or anything, but he tends to prefer spending his time doing other things than studying.

RP SAMPLE:Summer Before Sixth Year:
- Spoiler:
Percy was spending another summer with his grandparents. It had been long and tiring. Don't get him wrong, he loved them more than most people. It was just so hot in Ia that he didn't know what to do with himself most days. He would go out and see some of the kids he knew around the village, but it wasn't anything he could do without getting hot and grimy after a while. Eventually, however, he convinced his grandparents to let him invite friends to stay with them the next year, and Percy couldn't wait.
"Perseus," His grandmum would say, pronouncing it the way it was meant to be said, 'Per-say-oos', "I am sure your friends will be lovely, and we'll be glad to have them."
She said something like that almost every day it seemed. It was like she was happy that he had friends or something. He'd shoot her an exasperated but affectionate look before heading down to the gelato shop a few streets away. Next summer would be the one before his last year at Hogwarts, and he couldn't wait to be part of the trip his friends were planning.
