History

Jean-Paul was raised in a difficult family situation. He rarely felt safe while at home. His paternal grandfather was a pureblood supremacist and would often metaphorically spit on JP and his mother for their muggle ancestry. However, his parents didn’t have independent wealth and so the family lived in the paternal grandfather’s mansion.

JP’s mother and father seemed to love each other. However, JP never understood how or why they were together. JP always resented his father for letting his supremacist grandfather be part of his life, and he resented his mother for staying with them. It got to a point where he resented everything, society, the people in it, and his own destiny.

Although attending Beauxbaton was welcome, and allowed JP to be free of his home situation. His heart had already been filled with so much mistrust that he never managed to find security there.

Personality & Development

Personality:
Decisive || Brave || Strong-wiled || Angry || Nihilistic || Self-destructive​

Jean-Paul is driven by a deep-seated anger (angry). He’s always on guard around people and looking for their worst versions of themselves. In many ways, he puts up walls (self-destructive) that would prevent him from ever getting a different view of the world. At this point, one of the ways he copes with all this is by “checking-out”. In other words, JP will stop caring before anyone else, and in that way he can gain control (nihilistic).

From nihilism and anger also comes a certain type of tenacity. JP doesn’t hesitate to make a choice (decisive) because who cars about the result? Without regard to his own harm, or the harm of others, he’ll do anything (brave).

Boggart: A large shadowy ogre, vaguely reminiscent of a nightmare in his childhood, which steps forward while creating a unsettling chuckle with his grandfather’s voice.

Patronus Memory: His grandfather once gave JP a sip of Amortentia, “just to know”. JP still remembers the soft curling steam rising from the warm cup in his hand. He could smell a complex mix of chocolate, iron, and fresh linen. And that intoxicating moment was wonderful before he took the sip and suffered from the potion.

Character Theme / Intent

JP is built like a “burner” high school student archetype. He’s meant to be a tragic character. I hope this archetype is easy to embody as a starting character, with the means to instill the ever exciting “drama” through spitful words.
