IC INFORMATION

Full Name: Justin Archibald Finch-Fletchley!! But let's just pretend that the middle part that starts with an A and ends with a D and has something REALLY UGLY-SOUNDING IN THE MIDDLE DOESN'T EXIST, OKAY??
Age/Birthdate: 17.
Year/House: HOUSE OF THE YELLOW! 7th!

Blood Status: With roots as solidly Muggle as Madonna's, but stemming from a family tree with far more majestic plumage (and far greener leaves - in Justin's world, the grass is always greener on YOUR side, okay??), Justin Finch-Fletchley is perhaps the most unabashed Muggleborn you'll ever meet. What's there to be ashamed of, really, when his family home(s) rivals the size and grandeur of Malfoy Manor itself? NOTHING!

Sexual Orientation: Justin's a HUGE FAN of WOMEN! Just because he's British, rich, and blond doesn't automatically make him gayer than the average Kinsey scale rating of San Francisco, and HE'D REALLY APPRECIATE IF YOU STOPPED WITH THE ASSUMPTIONS! We all know what THOSE make out of you.

Location: Finglesham, a small village in Kent, England.
Affiliation: HARRY POTTER! THE DA! HIS FRIENDS! Justin's a Muggleborn, and although he may not be the brightest crayon in the box, he certainly knows enough to realise that a life in Voldemort's world wouldn't end at ALL pleasantly for himself or his family. Besides, murder is bad, and the good side has shinier shoes, which his mother always told him was a CLEAR INDICATOR of a PURE and POLISHED soul.

Appearance: Justin's overall appearance, from his beaming face to his polished shoes, can be described in one word: good-natured. Standing at a somewhat diminutive 5'7'' (although ONE DAY, he knows, he just KNOWS, that he'll be as tall and stately as his tall, STATELY FATHER), Justin certainly is as far from intimidating as it's possible to be. His blue eyes, slightly wrinkled in the corners from his constant need to laugh, laugh, laugh, are always glinting with mischief (but the innocent kind of mischief! He swears!!). Although Justin has been brought up to always look polished and at his Very Best, his hair seems to defy this standard: blonde, curly, and slightly long, it follows that it is also rather unruly.

Nevertheless, Justin more than compensates for his messy hair with his cultivated style of dress. Although his personality would indicate that Justin is perhaps too spastic to care about his appearance, this certainly isn't the case: if there's one thing Justin can do, it's dress for the occasion at hand. At home, he can usually be seen wearing casual slacks and collared shirts, and at Hogwarts, his robes are always pressed and ironed. His shoes are always, always polished so that they gleam, although his fervent desire to shine his shoes stems not from wanting to look well-dressed, but more from Justin's tendency to just really, really like shiny things.

Desired PB: Matt Czuchry.

Personality: - not the sharpest tool in the shed, but definitely the most helpful one
- has a mischievous side, disguised under all his spastic behaviour
- loyal to a t, will always defend his friends to the best of his ability, will even go as far to defend those who aren't his friends if they're in trouble: He is, being a Hufflepuff, an intensely loyal friend. Never one to let his friends be attacked while he's watching, Justin will do anything in his power to protect them - this doesn't necessarily mean he'll resort to violence (after all, he's no Gryffindor), but he will yell and, generally, just get upset.
- enthusiastic about anything and everything he comes across
- very, very optimistic
- socially ignorant? doesn't understand subtlety
- very approachable. will start conversation with anyone around, even if it's clear that they don't want to converse: If you don't cut him off at the beginning, Justin is quite likely to prattle on about anything and everything that he can think up - he hates awkward silences (hates any sort of silence at all, actually) and would much rather fill it up with laughter and bad jokes that no one but him understands.
- is friends with mostly everyone, or thinks he is, at any rate. annoys a lot of people, but he doesn't let that slow him down!

Three Things an Acquaintance Would Know About Your Character:
a) Justin was THAT KID who got Petrified back in his second year. He's also famous for being the one that Harry Potter set a snake on during Duel Club!
b) Justin's rich. It's a well-known fact, even though HE's not the one that's made it so! Justin's a modest sort of boy, and hasn't ever really broadcasted his wealth - at least, not intentionally.
c) He talks. A LOT. In fact, there's hardly any period of time where he ISN'T talking, unless he's asleep, and then, he's snoring. A lot. Justin's vocal cords just don't ever get any rest, poor abused things that they are.

Two Things Close Friends Would Know About Your Character:
a) Ever since that aforementioned event with snakes back in his second year, Justin's had a bit of an ALL-CONSUMING FEAR when it comes to serpentine sorts of creatures. He HATES them! Can't stand them! They bring back bad memories.
b) He hates the Spice Girls. Oh my God, how he HATES the Spice Girls! AND HEY, if YOU had to listen to their music for HOURS ON END because YOUR sister was absolutely OBSESSED, YOU WOULD REALLY REALLY SERIOUSLY LOATHE THEM, TOO. Justin will shriek if he hears their not-so-sonorous melodies anywhere within a ten-mile radius.

One Deep, Dark Secret:
a) Okay, so while he HATES THE SPICE GIRLS, he also kind of adores Baby Spice. Like, a lot. There's just something about that blonde hair and those high, high heels that makes him feel all soft and squishy inside, okay? Don't hate!!!

History: - born into aristocracy, his father is the baron of finglesham, 523rd in line to the THRONE OF ENGLAND, BITCHES. this makes justin the 524th.
- is himself the baronet of ham, where he oft frequents the Blazing Donkey. don't know where Ham is? Why, it's in Sandwich!
- born with a silver spoon, although he takes it for granted, this is more out of naivete than a lack of humility
- has a younger sister,
- his father, Archibald, is a member of the House of Lords in Parliament. his mother stays at home. bakes cookies.
- received his letter when he was 11, his parents were skeptical, but care more about their son's happiness than prestige - so they sent him to hogwarts instead of eton, because he said that was where he wanted to go~
- second year, petrified by the basilisk
- has since matured slightly, joined the DA, wants to fight
- doesn't really know what he wants to do post-hogwarts. something in healing, but not a healer obvs.
