He tries but he's really not as good as her. Greatest Joy in Life: his joy is split between his passion for taekwando and for animals, he loves both of these things equally in his life, though a raising fast rival to his happiness with these is quidditch Greatest Fear (Boggart): he has a few fears, but prior to his mother dying it was the rather mundane fear of being picked on by other students, but now, he would fear losing his sister. Reason: The realisation that death is a tangible thing has really shaken Norton to his core. He is terrified of losing her. He doesn't know what he would do without his sister. What Single Event Would Throw Their Life Into Complete Turmoil? Losing his twin sister would throw his life into chaos, he doesn't know what he'd do if he lost her Most at Ease When: He is most at ease around his family, and around people he likes. Most Ill at Ease When: He is ill at ease when he is around people who belittle others a lot, when anyone is physically violent in a way that's not for a competition.

Depressed or Sad When: When he thinks about losing another member of his family or even currently thinking about his mother makes him feel quite sad. Priorities: Since he is at school, magical school, he just wants to learn all the magic that he can, so his priority is learning magic Life Philosophy: Since he's still young he would probably say it was to have fun, he knows that life can be short so have fun and make it worthwhile If Granted One Wish, It Would Be: Norton deeply misses his mother, so he'd ask for her to be brought back Reason: he loved his mother, and he misses er so much, he would very much want her to be brought back for a little more time with them. Soft Spot: he has a soft spot for animals or people who need help Is This Obvious To Others? Not really, not unless the situation demands for it Greatest Strength: It's probably between his actual strength, or his determination when he sets his mind to something. Greatest Vulnerability or Weakness: Currently he is very attached to his sister, so he struggles with being apart from her, and he gets very defensive about it, mocking her would largely cause him to get defensive and angry Biggest Regret: That he couldn't share the magic with his mother Minor Regret: he wishes he was in slytherin with his sister Biggest Accomplishment: He has achieved highly in taekwando Minor Accomplishment: He cast his first spell on the train to hogwarts, though it'll be the first of many spells, but it felt like a good thing that he'd managed it. Past Failures They Would Be Embarrassed to Have People Know About: He took part in a school concert in which he fell over in front of everyone and he would not want people at hogwarts to see it Reason: He fell over hard and it got a rather large laugh so he would really want that no one else could laugh at it. Darkest Secret: sometimes he feels sad about being in the magical world when his mother hadn't been Does Anyone Else Know? no G O A L S Drives and Motivations: Now that he's learning magic, he is driven and motivated to learn a lot of magic Immediate Goals: He would want to spend as much time on the magic he can do, focus and learn all that he can Long Term Goals: For the future, Nortie would want to make his parents proud, he would want to make his mother proud of him. He wants to learn more magic, he wants to be good at quidditch, he wants to work with magical creatures How They Plan to Accomplish These Goals: For one, he needs to learn how to fly so that's the first thing he wants to do, and then he would want to learn about magical creatures by taking the class.

One Word They Would Use to Describe Themselves: Kind One Paragraph Description:Norton following the death of their mother has taken to being a bit of his sister's shadow, but it largely stems from a concern of losing her as well. He's quite unsure of himself, he likes animals and he can fight pretty well, but he's unsure of what his purpose in life is. He's a loyal person and fairly loving person, he's friendly with people, loves openly and loudly. He's a little quiet right now, but once someone gets to know him he's open, loud and talkative. He likes gardening a lot, and he likes being with plants or creatures. He is going to adore care of magical creatures. Norton is treating magic like this new adventure and he is 100 % going to throw himself into all aspects about it. He's not much of a reader, he likes learning, but he'll just through himself into the classes that he has. Norton enjoys singing and dancing around especially when hes comfortable around people. Norton trusts quite easily, but when his mind is on something he barely lets it go. He can have a bit of a temper if people annoy him enough, but it's hard to get that out. What Do They Consider Their Best Personality Trait? Norton considers his loyalty to be his best trait, he thinks it's the best trait because it creates strong bonds What Do They Consider Their Worst Personality Trait? Though he needs it, he knows that the fact he needs his sister so much is not a good thing. What Do They Consider Their Best Physical Characteristic? Nortie has always loved his freckles What Do They Consider Their Worst Physical Characteristic? Norton thinks that all his features make him look younger than he is, he thinks he has too round a face How Do They Think Others Perceive Them? He's never asked What Would They Most Like to Change About Themselves? Norton would very much want to look a little older R E L A T I O N S H I P S W I T H O T H E R S Opinion of Other People in General: It depends on who it is, but generally he really likes people, only those whom he doesn't know is he more wary of. Do They Hide Their True Opinions and Emotions From Others? There are some emotions that he would hide from people, mostly those about his mother since he doesn't really want to talk about the fact she's gone and never coming back. He hides those emotions and spends more time showing other better emotions. Person They Most Hate: He doesn't really hate anyone the most Best Friend: Gilly, his twin is whom he would consider his best friend. L O V E Orientation: a little bi-curious Goes to For Advice: He goes to his sister Gilly for advice Feels Responsible for: Though he is the younger twin he still does feel responsible for his sister. Feels Shy or Awkward Around: He usually gets shy or awkward around people he doesn't know, or people who make him feel uncomfortable Openly Admires:Currently he doesn't really openly admire anyone yet Secretly Admires: He secretly admires his sister, he'd never tell her that he admires her, because that would go to her head but he definitely does admire her. Most Important Person in Their Life: Currently it is his sister, as they've both just lost their mother he feels deeply connected to her. Amortentia:Norton is a little too young for that.
