Personality
Shy: New places and new faces always get Brod nervous. He doesn't know anybody and so it will be super hard to try and spark up a conversation. There's also the fact that he just doesn't like people.
Intelligent: Reading so many books can really get you started on the path to knowledge, but with Broderick it's more like a highway.
Sarcastic: He may seem shy and awkward, but Broderick can be pretty sarcastic and rude from time to time. Especially if he finds you annoying.
Pet:
Birger; Norwegian Forest Cat: Broderick was given Birger on his ninth birthday, and ever since they have been inseparable. Birger was given the Norwegian name of protector because of his protective nature towards Broderick. He's more of a guard dog than a cat and if he doesn't like you he will attack. Luckily people understand his warnings of loud hissing and meowing, so he's never attack anyone yet. Putting that aside, Birger can still be very sweet and loving around Broderick.

Strengths:
-His mind will always be his strength. Fast analyzing and learning will get him far in Ravenclaw.
-Patience is also a strength of his. His mother always said "the key to wisdom is patience."
-Being kind to others differs him from most Ravenclaws. He would not dare be unkind to a clever rival, unlike most. This gives him an advantage in most things due to the unexpected from his House.
Weaknesses:
-Brodericks biggest weakness is his anxiety. He can become unsocial and will have total writers block from it. His creativity plummets, as does his grades, and train of thought.
-He can be overly shy. This will effect his experiences and wisdom at Hogwarts. No friends. No adventures. no writing.
