A Little Deeper
Personality: Nigel is a nice, straightforward and honest guy. He is kind to all those that he knows and possesses a very forgiving attitude. Whether some one has insulted him or stolen from him, it is likely that Nigel will forgive (but never forget). Being very precautions and truthful to those that he does trust, Nigel is some one that is a valuable friend. When making a friendship bond with Nigel, it isn't one that will easily be broken. Often his kind and sensitive persona is seen through, simply because he is a Werewolf. People look at him as the Monster that comes out in the moonlight, rather then the kind and caring person that Nigel truly is.

Skilled Potioneer: Due to his condition, Nigel was forced (by himself) to have great knowledge of potions. This was so that he could brew his own Wolfsbane Potion. Not only this but it was a very strong talent of his, seeings he had such a good understanding of Herbology based subjects.
Herbology / History of Magic Expert: Being an expert in both categories, Nigel is very wise when it comes to talking about plants or the History of Magic itself.
Condition:Werewolf
History:
Nigel was born on June 28 in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England. He was raised by his two parents Flinder and Natasha Flourishworth. Flinder was a pure blood, however Natasha was a Muggle Born. Throughout his life, Nigel was shown the reigns of studying plants, simply because of the passion that his mother had for Gardening. Little did Nigel know that, in his future he would end up being an expert of plants themselves. When he was of age, Nigel was sent to Hogwarts where he was sorted into Gryffindor house. He completed his education with great marks in most subjects with the exception of Divination. His Schooling life was rather uneventful until his second last year at Hogwarts. When traveling with his father to New Zealand on the Christmas Holidays, Nigel was bitten by a Werewolf. Nigel's father was in shock, attempting to fight off the Werewolf but however was knocked unconscious. He was pushed roughly by the Werewolf too the ground, where, on falling, his head came into contact with a rock.
The Flourishworth family had the trouble ahead of supporting their son through the stages of transformation as a Werewolf. No one was told of their sons condition, simply due to the fact that they knew it would bring unwanted attention as well as effect his school life. Before long, word spread (more so rumors) that Nigel was a werewolf. After he had been disappearing on certain occasion's for Private reasons his close friends and distant enemies became curious. It wasn't long before Nigel told his friends, trusting in them too support him (which they did). Considering that his friends were loyal and true, Nigel's school life stayed rather normal for the majority of the time, however the suspicious questions that he was being asked on day to day basis' were rather daunting.
Once his education was complete, Nigel became a Professor of Herbology in Hogwarts Scotland. He held this position for some time, before transferring to History of Magic, simply due to the fact that it was required of him. After some time, he wished for his position as the Herbology Professor back, considering that they had found a replacement for History of Magic. His position was granted and he continued to teach for a rather long time. After a year or so, Nigel left to find himself working for the New Zealand Express. Besides the fact of being educated at Hogwarts Scotland, Nigel decided to move to New Zealand. Something had drawn him to it after he was bitten by the werewolf. It was later discovered however that the werewolf that had bitten him had died, apparently when being attacked by Death Eaters. Nigel, whilst in New Zealand stayed with family friends and brought income in to help pay for food and things of that sort. In his spare time, he spoke to those infected with the condition that he had, helping them deal with the transformations and things of the sort. He eventually moved back to England where he stayed for some time, before once again finding cause to stay permanently in New Zealand.
