Appearance:
The Garcia family has always been renowned for their height. Bernard is no exception to the Garcia family line, he stands at an impressive six feet and five inches. Always being one of the tallest in his classes either in the muggle world or after his arrival at Hogwarts New Zealand. Bernard has always been taller than the majority since a young age, unlike other teenagers, Bernard never had a moment where he just grew rapidly then stopped. He has been a growing male since a very young age but since his seventeen birthdays Bernard hasnt grown much, leading to believe that he could have reached his maximum height.
While he holds the trait of being tall from the Garcia family, Bernard didnt inherit the blonde golden hair colour that the majority of Garcias have instead Bernard has a dark brown colour with some small parts with light reflection appear to be of a light brown just like the Girard family. Bernard has medium length hair that is said to be in a messy style as Bernard is too lazy to comb his hair or to keep them in a non-messy manner. As for Bernard eyes are of a dark blue color with a slight mixture of green in it. From a young age, Bernard family always compared his eyes to the deep of the ocean. Not that Bernard ever truly compared his eyes to anything but for his family the darkish blue represented the depths of the ocean while the green represented the biodiversity in the ocean depths.
Bernard has two tattoos. One located on his upper left chest and the other on his upper right back. His first tattoo was produced on his skin at the age of fifteen. The tattoo was of a raven with his wings expanded out and his claws holding onto a flag pole, attached to the flag pole is the French flag. His second tattoo came at his sixteenth birthday, located on his back; it goes from his spine to his shoulder plate and goes down to the middle of his back. His tattoo consists of a fox and a coyote, both with their heads looking upwards towards the Garcia family Coat of Arms.
Personality:
Disciplined, well behaved young boy Bernard grew to be. His parents were a wealthy French family and made sure that their kids would grow up to bring pride to the family name and not shame. He was no exception to the rule, from a young age he learned the proper manners, how to behave at those special evenings and everything else that was needed to learn for public appearances. He learned to filter his emotions and thoughts away from the public eye. The only moment where he could open up about his emotions was with his father behind closed doors away from the rest of the world and his family. That was the life and atmosphere in which Bernard grew up in and he didnt mind it. He continued living that way of life till the summer between his third and fourth year. Family problems occurred and brought an end to Bernard content for the atmosphere in which he lived. Yet Bernard kept shut about his family problems per the manners he had grown up with.
Bernard is loyal to his family. He grew up with the lessons that even if there were disputes or problems between one another in the family; those problems were to be kept hidden from the public eye. They needed to pass for a good family. Bernard became good with this, keeping his emotions in check and leaving his problems behind closed doors. He never replied anything negative about his family in his whole life and still today he has yet to do so. Hes as quiet as a mouse when it comes to his family; he prefers to say nothing at all then to say negative things that will tarnish his family. This mentality has also grown to count his friends in this. Bernard will never show or tell something negative about his friends. If hes not happy with how theyre acting hell wait till they are in private and away from others to discuss it. In front of the public, Bernard is one hundred percent loyal to his family and friends, hes the last person you should suspect for starting negative rumours or giving you up to school authorities when you do something wrong. Bernard never runs away from his family and friends, even if deep down he hates and doesnt agree with the situation they are in; hell stick to their side.
Bernard is a great motivator for his friends and people he knows. As he never says anything negative about them and in private rarely says anything against them, he grows as a source of confidence for the people who hang around with him and he likes being such a source. After living hard moments in his life, Bernard doesnt want to have his friends pass by the same hardships or at least not alone. Hes definitely a great friend to have and hell never let his friends down. Bernard is an adventurous type and will rarely say no to his friends when they ask to do something with them or to accompany them to some place, no matter whether its allowed by school rules or not.
Cleverness, imagination, quick-thinking and perceptive is qualities that Bernard holds. His school grades arent bad, in fact in certain classes hes extremely good but where his cleverness appears to be the strongest is when it comes to lies or trying to find an escape route for him and his friends. A rather well needed trait when you go out on adventures. This was something his father spent a lot of time focusing on with Bernard when they were behind closed doors from the rest of the family. His father knew no matter how someone was determined to, it was close to impossible to always keep to the line and behave appropriately without bringing shame and so he taught Bernard to use his mind to pull him out of situations that would have brought shame. So Bernard is definitely a good liar and can always come up with a solution to get him out of trouble whether it is by finding escape routes from being caught or by creating some story to have the authorities give him merely a warning then punishing him. He doesnt only use his head to get his friends and him out of trouble, he has tried and succeeded at times to come up with plans to get the people he hates or who have conflicts with his friends in trouble.
At the end of the day, Bernard is the strategist in his group of friends. He forms the plans and is the one to get them out of trouble. His image of him well behaving and being disciplined in the public eye is also a great addition as he rarely gets placed in the list of suspects or the list of those students that have to be watched. Hes also an extremely strong boy who has went through a lot in his life without ever showing any sign of weakness or tiredness to the public eye even less with the happenings in his family that demanded even more strength from him.
History:
The Garcia family has been a long lasting member of the wealthy French families living in Bordeaux, France. Far from being the most popular in the public eye, it has kept itself a reputation of goodness, this reputation was earned through the Age of Discovery when the Garcia family were one of the first wealthy families to go inhabit New France. Ever since then, the Garcia family has seen Native American Indians join the family line per marriage. Still today they are one of the most respected families in Bordeaux, France yet unknown to a huge majority of the French population.
Bernard Emmanuel Garcia is the most recent boy addition to the family. Son of Jean-Charles Garcia and Marie-Andree Girard, he has two sisters, Marie-Eve Garcia the oldest and Patricia Garcia. Being the only son of the Garcia family line, Bernard was quickly drawn into a different realm then his two sisters. The Garcia family still strong on traditions always taught their boys how to properly act and be diplomatic for the family. The boys being the ones that hold the name of Garcia and thus they are the ones who keep the family going. The daughters werent seen as inferior but when they marry; their family name disappears and is replaced thus not keeping the Garcia line going.
This mentality brought Bernard into special evening events with his Uncles, Grand-Fathers and every male of the Garcia line that still lived in France. He was taught how to act as a gentleman and to become a diplomatic person. He was projected to become an active role in France politics when hed graduate from University, all of this was being said while he was still four years old. His future was all planned out from the early stages of his life, the job hed have and the beautiful wife hed marry from another wealthy family. Ever since he started attending school and knew how to read and write, his father would bring him into his office room back at the mansion where Bernard spent his evenings reading diplomatic books, treaties, strategic books and playing board games that enhanced his quick-thinking and mental abilities at finding good plans to set up.
He barely lived the life of a normal kid; his sisters didnt start learning the ways of a classy woman till they were fourteen. Before then, they were allowed to play and be kids while Bernard was brought up to be mature quicker than his age. Plans changed drastically when Bernard received a letter from a school named Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. His mother and sisters all thought that it was a big joke and even Bernard thought so but was proven wrong on that evening when his father showed a few magic spells in his office. Not saying why to his mother and sisters, when time for school came, Bernard was transferred school in France.
Bernard completed his first year in Beauxbatons, he achieved good marks in a couple of his classes and spent the vacations back with his family without ever talking about the year he had spent in a magical school. Before long vacations were over and Bernard was off to study for his second year. His year went on without many changes from the first, classes were different but he continued his friendship with his previous year friends. During the vacations between the second year and third year, Bernard discovered that his father had worked for the Ministry of Magic of Germany as an Auror for a couple of years and that he still had contact with them. Bernard went back to Beauxbatons to complete his third year before coming back for vacations, expecting to live the same as past vacations, Bernard arrived in Bordeaux to devastating news. His father had been found paralyzed in the middle of a park. His body unable to move, a month later he died. Bernard left for Beauxbatons earlier that year with his younger sister who had received her letter and continued his studies. His fourth year was one of changes as some of his grades went down and he started to hang out more with friends then studying while also being there for his younger sister who had emotional problems from the death of their father. Bernard continued his fifth year the same way as he did his fourth, barely passing anytime in Bordeaux during the vacation. Here he is now starting his sixth year after another vacation time where he barely spent any time in Bordeaux, France. He has recently set sight out on moving to a different part of France completely.
