name:
Levi: Means "attached" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament, Levi is the third son of Jacob and Leah, the ancestor of one of the twelve tribes of the Israelites (the tribe that eventually became the priests of the Israelites) In the New Testament this is another name for the apostle Matthew. Isidore: In Greek the meaning of the name Isidore is: Strong Gift. Gift of Isis (this name is Greek, even though Isis is an Egyptian deity). St Isidore of Seville tried to convert Spanish Jews to Christianity during the 7th century. Prescott From a surname which meant "Priest's cottage" in Old English.

date of birth & current age:
Levi was born at 12 in the afternoon on November 7 1999 in Boston, Massachusetts to Marsha Prescott (Maiden name Wright). His father's name was left blank on his birth certificate as his mother does not know exactly who his biological father is. Levi is currently 38 years young old, and will turn 39 in November 2038.

basic appearance:
From a very first glance, anyone can tell Levi is an athlete. Years of playing professional quidditch and being a shameless adrenaline junkie (He regularly spends his down time on hikes and cliff diving among other dangerous hobbies) have given his tall body type a muscular form. However, Levi is not a very appearance oriented person. His mouse brown hair is kept short and often pushed away from his face, his complexion has the slightest tan and his everyday clothing is limited to button down shirts or a sweater with straight leg jeans. For formal events his clothing style is generally the same as his everyday style, however it is obviously neater and dressier. Levi's effort to be presentable aside, he dresses for comfort and around the house when he is relaxing and not playing, practicing or coaching quidditch.

area of residence:
Levi currently lives on his own in an apartment situated within the muggle area of Boston. He has lived in the city of Boston most of his life, and although he does travel a lot for his job he can never imagine himself moving away. While he does love many different places around the world (namely France and England) he has never been able to find another place in the world he loves enough to comfortably call home.

blood status:
Unknown. This is because Levi does not know the blood status of his biological father. He knows his mother is a half-blood witch, however because she had him while at a young age and as a result of a one night stand his father's blood status is a complete mystery. Levi does not have an opinion on the importance of blood status, and has never formed one even during school when he noticed muggle-born wizards and half-breeds were treated differently. He judges people by their character and not their blood status and treats every single person equally.

heritage:
Levi's full heritage is unknown, though he is aware his mother's ancestors were Irish and Estonian. His direct and extended family have been living in the United States for many generations however, and aren't actively "cultured" or educated about their heritage so Levi knows little about his ancestors besides the countries they were from. None of his relatives have shown interest in learning about their heritage, either.

career:
He is currently coach for the Wimbourne Wasps quidditch team, and apparates between Boston and England almost daily to maintain this job. Since playing quidditch during his school years at Hogwarts Scotland, Levi has developed a love for the sport and it was only a natural path for him to take after graduating in 2017. He began playing as a beater for the Thundelarra Thunderers in Australia before playing as a keeper for the Wimbourne Wasps and working his way up to coach.

personality:
Levi has a very kind, loving personality. He is generous, diplomatic, loyal and a gentleman in nearly every sense of the word. Being sorted into Hufflepuff is enough showing what kind of person Levi generally is. He has many talents, and is often recognized for his ability to get along with almost every person he meets. In fact, every single one of his acquaintances would swear Levi does not have a bad side, and has never had a 'negative' thought in his life. When truthfully his bad side is very prevalent and characterized by and unbridled sense of competitiveness which shows through quidditch. When quidditch is involved he changes to a competitive, harsh and even cruel person that anyone outside of his quidditch circle rarely sees. What fuels this competitive side to show only through quidditch is his need to be the best, and his passion for sport and healthy competition (though some would say his competitiveness is far from healthy). What fuels the cruel side that follows along with his competitiveness, is the anger Levi has repressed in everyday situations. The kind, carefree Levi is more than genuine though having to be kind to every single person he meets, regardless the situation to maintain a favorable reputation in the public eye has led to a high amount of pent up emotion he is only able to set free with physical activity.

family:
Mother:Levi is very close with his biological mother, Marsha, a half-blood witch. She is a kind and loving woman who is a generally amazing mother, though is plagued with the ability to make irresponsible decisions. Levi loves his very much and has an overall good relationship with despite the many irresponsible or ill-educated decisions she has made in his lifetime. Father: Levi's step-father is a pureblood wizard named Dexter. After first meeting Dexter at the age of five, Levi has considered him to be a father figure. They overall have a normal father/son relationship and not once has Levi questioned Dexter's integrity and neither will he ever consider anybody else to be his father. Step brother and sister: Levi has two step-siblings. An older step-brother named Elias, and a younger step-sister named Celeste who are both pureblood. Levi generally gets along well with his step siblings and always has, however he is not particularly close with them and rarely spends time with them away from family gatherings. Half-sister: In addition to his list of siblings, Levi also has a half-sister named Lily who is mixed blood and he is a lot closer to. Although due to his demanding career and workaholic traits he does not spend as much time with Lily as he would like to. But he spends as much time with her as he can and is probably the closest to her out of his entire family. Biological father: Levi does not have a relationship with his biological father, and given the choice he never will. He sees no point in figuring out who his biological father is, when he never took the time to figure out who Levi was himself.

pets:
When Levi was about ten, his family chose to adopt a pair of Huskies from a nearby animal shelter. Levi grew particularly close to both dogs as a kid, and since both dogs passed away of old age when he was in his early twenties he has wanted to adopt a dog on his own. This is because he would love a furry friend to keep him company during his down time and on hikes. However due to his restrictive and busy schedule that revolves around quidditch, he has no time to take care of a pet spite how much he would love one. He plans to get a dog on the same day he retires or if he decides to settle down and have a family but unfortunately he does not know if he will ever retire or allow his schedule to slow down enough for a stable family life.

special abilities:
Apart from Levi's talents regarding quidditch he has no special abilities, magical or not. He has no solid need to teach or train himself to have any special abilities because he is too caught up in his career to have time. If he had enough time and a choice in the matter, he would one day like to be an Animagus, as his love of nature and transfiguration makes it seem like a natural step however he doesn't see this intention becoming reality in the near future.

strengths:
Levi has very many strengths that situate in his ability to speak to and accept anybody of different upbringings and cultures. He has the ability to show genuine kindness to even those that treat him rudely and it is his ability to bite his tongue in these situations that give him enough courage to do so. Many of Levi's friends recognize him by his kind, loving personality and describe him as a teddy bear to those who he has never met.

weaknesses:
In turn to his strengths, Levi has very many weaknesses. These are prevalent in his ability to get along with everybody. While this is considered a good thing by most, this is considered a bad thing for Levi because he can often be constrained or even unnatural during social encounters. He is also a workaholic which is positive in the sense that he is very successful, however is negative in the sense Levi fails to allow himself any time off to do anything else. In turn with his workaholic traits he also has a weakness in developing long term relationships as his career distracts him from any romance and most of his friendships.

interests or hobbies:
If it is not already obvious, Levi is interested in quidditch and in turn nearly everything to do with sport. During his down time (something that occurs rarely by Levi's choice) he goes on a lot of hikes and spends much of his other time partaking in adrenaline based hobbies. Such as cliff diving, abseiling, and bungee jumping. These hobbies give Levi enough of an adrenaline hit for him to handle spending a short time away from the quidditch field. Believe it or not, Levi also shows interest in dancing (specifically ballroom dancing) though has never had enough time or an enthusiastic enough dancing partner to cause him to act on this interest. When he has enough time and has a partner that shares his interest, he plans to one day take ballroom dancing classes but again, Levi doesn't believe this will happen in the near future. Physical activity aside, Levi also shows a prominent interest in cooking and all things food. Not many people are aware of Levi's culinary skills because more often than not he cooks for himself however if given the chance he would gladly show off his skills to other people.

additional skills:
Apart from his skills on the quidditch field and in the kitchen Levi has no other skills worth notifying. This is because his precious time is too heavily consumed by his workaholic habits and career ambitions to drive his team to be the best they can be. Any down time Levi has is not long enough for him to cultivate and develop any additional skills to the ones he already possesses.

describe your character in 3 words:
Driven: because Levi is passionate, and when he starts a project or begins to follow a new path it takes something of a great magnitude to keep him from his goals. He has always been a firm believer in finishing things that he starts and when he has his sights set on an outcome he'll be dammed if it cannot be reached. Kind: because Levi is genuinely nice to his loved ones and in turn those he meets. He is unabashedly helpful and genuine and wholeheartedly treats others with kindness if or if not he is met with kindness in return. Loving: because Levi shows an insane amount of love to his family and the small group of people that stay in his life even when his hectic and busy career keeps him from spending time with them.

favorite place to be:
It goes without saying that Levi's favorite place to be is on the quidditch pitch, whether it be practicing or playing a game doesn't matter because simply being on a pitch puts Levi at ease. A close second favorite place for Levi is his apartment in Boston, although because he spends more time on the pitch than in his apartment the fact is obvious a quidditch pitch is his favorite place.

hogwarts house:
Hufflepuff. When Levi was first sorted into the house of the badger he did not know what to think. However over time Levi came to realize the kindness and loyalty shown by his housemates were also traits he possessed, and in turn he realized that Hufflepuff was the perfect house for him. During his time at Hogwarts Scotland, Hufflepuff house aided in his development from a quiet child to a kind and respectable adult and for this Levi was very proud of his house. Even after graduating and being out of school for almost twenty years Levi shows house pride without shame.

wand:
Knotted 10 1/2 Inch Flexible Chestnut Wand with Meteorite Dust Core: Length: A fairly average length for a wand, not at all uncommon or very special. Style: The knots of this wand's original wood remain clearly visible - earthy, this style of wand is perhaps most traditional and closest to nature. Wood: 'Chestnut Drones' says the old poem - but Chestnut most commonly takes on the attributes of the core that it holds within it - though it may have a unique attraction to those wizards and witches who excel in herbology, taming beasts, and flying. Core: This wand core works well for people who adapt easily to their surroundings while still maintaining their own personalities. Meteorite dust seems to produce wands that are useful in Divination work. Flexibility: Flexible. Not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its weilder.

best school subjects:
During his time at Hogwarts Scotland Levi realized exactly how much he loved magic, and this showed through his achieved grades. Most of Levi's subjects could be considered his best, though Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures and Flying stand out above the rest as his best subjects simply because they were his favorite. It was Levi's love of these subjects that have now translated into his adult life and still remain very prominent within his ambitions. Such as the obvious fact Levi is involved in professional quidditch and one day hopes to train himself to become an Animagus.

worst school subjects:
Because Levi loved most of his school subjects and showed enthusiasm in all of them, there aren't many he would consider to be his worst. But if Levi had a say in what his worst subject was, then it would be Arithmancy. His dislike of the subject has nothing to do with the professor or the classes' criteria, but simply his attention span as a child. He found it difficult to focus properly in his classes and was often times distracted by what was going on outside the window than happening in front of him and due to this his grades were not as high in Arithmancy as they were in other subjects.

extracurricular activities:
Levi had a very short list of extracurricular activities while at Hogwarts Scotland, that only consisted of his place as beater on the Hufflepuff quidditch team. After he fell in love with flying Levi found himself too consumed within the world of quidditch to consider joining clubs and adding to his list of extracurricular activities.

plans for the future:
Levi has a long list of plans for his future, however he is unsure whether these plans will become reality. He plans to continue his quidditch career until the day he dies (an unrealistic plan, but a plan nonetheless). And at the same time he also has a plan to retire one day, allowing his life to slow down enough for him to get married, adopt a dog and start a family. Levi is aware that in order for his life to slow down he needs to carry less of a heavy burden with his work. Which is not difficult because the 'heavy burden' is voluntary and easily lightened if he had enough courage to stifle his workaholic traits long enough to rebuild his personal life. After being engaged once, and having that engagement called off when Levi realized his fiance wanted him to quit his career, he forced himself to put his everything into his career in an attempt convince himself a personal life was nothing in comparison to the name he had made in the quidditch world. Now that he has been terminally single for the past 11 years (excluding first dates and flings) Levi realizes the rut he has thrown himself into and is unsure if he will ever achieve his plan of one day settling down despite how much he secretly wants to.

patronus & animagus:
Levi's patronus and animagus form would be a Brown bear. This is because Levi is not only physically strong and ruthless, he is also loyal, gentle and an undeniably good leader even if he does not want to be. Levi's patronus memory is very specific in date and time, and is still very vivid in his mind after many years. The memory is from Levi's mother's wedding to his step-father. He had turned six a week before and was not only still excited from his birthday, but also excited because he could be part of Dexter's family forever. The new family all huddled up together for a family portrait and it was in that moment Levi felt truly at home. He cannot describe any other moment to be his happiest besides this one.

boggart:
Levi's biggest fear is losing his success and having nothing. This is because over the years he has built up his career, he has allowed his personal life to fall in shambles. If anything happened to cause him to lose his career now, he would be almost completely alone with his problems, and without an outlet for him to release or distract from his emotions.

mirror of erised:
If Levi gazed into the mirror of erised, he would see himself able to juggle his career and personal life (something he obviously wants to do though doesn't believe it is possible after his engagement was called off). More specifically he would see himself wearing his team's colours, with a beautiful wife and happy child by his side.

Well if you don't mind, I have a few comments and questions. (Positive ones!)

1. I really enjoyed that you gave the etymology of your character's name. I feel like it's very insightful into Levi's personality.
2. What is it that causes Levi to be such an adrenaline junkie?
3. Why is it that he doesn't care so much about appearance? Is he just laid back and relaxed?
4. It's really nice to see an American character with such a large population of Brits, New Zealanders, etc.
5. I'm not sure that intercontinental apparition is something your character would physically be able to do. According to the Harry Potter Wiki, only wizards of the highest skill and caliber could attempt intercontinental apparition, and even then not without risk. It would be a better idea to just have Levi use the floo network. :)
6. Why does Levi repress his anger so much, and then it slips out while competiting?
7. (Last one, I promise) It seems like Levi's whole life is Quidditch, which is entirely possible to be and RP him as such, but he seems very one dimensional in this aspect, to me.

Again, these are just one man's opinions but I'd like to see where you take Levi and how he grows. :)
