Three words that best describe your character: Moody, intuitive, loyal
More on personality: Ambitious- Dorian is highly ambitious and will do whatever it takes to accomplish everything he sets out to do. His stubbornness will often come in handy when facing opposition or people who tell him his goals are too lofty. He'll doggedly work on pushing forward even if it takes years in order to fulfill his dreams and aspirations.
Rebellious- He's very much the rebel, from the way he dresses to the way he disregards social norms. He doesn't follow or care for peer pressure from his peers or housemates. he prefers to think for himself instead of blindly following popular trends or beliefs. He'll even go so far as to try and get others to challenge others to change their way of thinking and stop being mindless sheep.
Curious- He's very much into learning and discovering new things about different cultures and new and unusual foods. He's willing to try out new and exciting endeavors even if they're highly unusual. He also likes to explore places and areas of Hogwarts no one's been in before in hopes of finding something new. It's his motto that you only live life once so you have to make the most out of it.
Loyal- He's loyal to a fault with those he considers close friends or family. He will do whatever it takes to protect those he cares for. He's not the type to walk away from a fried in need (Emotionally or Physically). Whenever a friend needs a hand, whatever it is, he will lend a hand and see the task through to the end. This does depend on what type of situation it is. Just because it's an emergency to them doesn't mean he will drop everything to help them.
Moody- He is working on mastering his rapid mood changes and shifts. These can still at times be very unpredictable when they'll occur. they are usually proceeded by something majorly emotionally upsetting to him. Like seeing his mother go through a metal breakdown or seeing a friend getting beat up. Often times to cope with these moods he has to emotionally detach. sometimes it can take days to a week for his detachment to dissipate. Usually his friends know ways to snap him out of it.
Intuitive- He is rather intuitive and sensitive to others and their emotions when not dealing with his own. This can cause his friends or House Mates to be rather uncomfortably around him. His Empathetic nature makes a majority of his House Mates think he's weak. Not that he really cares what they thin.
Charm- Dorian can be quite the charmer when he'd like to be. He gets his gift of a silver tongue from his father. He'll often use his charm to gain support in causes he wants to accomplish.
Progressive- Dorian has a much more open mind than most. He's a much more accepting person who doesn't discriminate against individuals because of manner of dress or sexual choices. He's not the type to believes rumors but prefers to get to know people personally before he forms any opinions about them.

History:
Dorian had a pretty good childhood starting out. He had a father who taught him how to fish, play sports and ride a broom. Since the day he was born his parents had been doing magic around him and teaching him about the magicking world. Probably a good thing, because when life became rougher it was the magic that helped get him through it.
It started with a surprise visit from one of his father's old girlfriends, with an eleven year old in tow, Korina Devereux; his half sister. This was because she had started showing signs of having magic and her mother had no idea what to do with her anymore.
The revelation of her husband having fathered a child before and not telling her{even though he hadn't known himself}, was a bit too much for Dorian's mother to take. She became enraged and began to become unhinged emotionally.
Dorian was rather frightened at the rapid change in his mother's mental health, he himself became despondent and withdrawn for awhile there. When Dorian's father realized this he had to make the difficult choice of placing his wife in a magical hospice that could see to the care of his wife so he could give his son more attention.
With everything going on and the expense it took to pay for where his wife was staying; Sebastien sold his family manor in New Orleans and moved his son and daughter to England so they'd be closer to the magic school and magicking world. It took a rather rough year and a half before everyone settled down and Dorian returned to his normal mental health.
In the past several years, Dorian and Korina have gotten closer to each other, though Dorian still blames her for the mental break his mother suffered. Sebastien has no clue what's going on half the time and tends to suffer by throwing parties and distracting himself with other women. He has no idea the affect this is having on his son, or that Dorian is starting to take on some of his own characteristics.
Remy, Dorian's familiar.
Dorian
stared down at the little ball of blue fluff that was staring up at him
unblinkingly with its two tone eyes, one a blueish silver and the other
an odd lilac color. Dorian sighed, and leaned down closer until his
nose touched the others. "What am I supposed to do with you? I don't
know what Kori was thinking getting me a kitten." Dorian mumbled with a
moody look on his face.
The kitten started purring and rubbed it's face against his, which rather surprised him. Then Dorian softened slightly and reached down from his bed to pet the small creature. "I suppose you'll be needing something to eat, and somewhere to go." he said more to himself than to the kitten. "And a name of course."
Dorian eyed the kitten closely, thinking to himself. "Bennett?" He asked, the kitten wrinkled it's nose as if in protest, causing Dorian to laugh. The kitten reached up and batted at the strands of hair that had fallen down just out of it's reach. Dorian moved his head around causing the hair to sway back and forth rather riling the kitten into a more frenzied attach on his hair.
With a laugh, Dorian reached down and picked up the kitten gently and moved so he was sitting on his bed. He laid the kitten on the bed and rummaged through his side table drawer for one of his feathers and a piece of yarn. He tied the yarn around the feather and proceeded to play with the kitten until it was laying in an exhausted heap on his bed.
"Remy," he said smiling happily at the kitten. "I think that suits you."
The kitten looked up as though it had been called and mewed in agreement. "I'm glad you like it!" Dorian said with a smile, and laid on his side next to Remy to pet him. Perhaps Kori getting him a kitten was a good thing after all.
