{{ General Appearance }}
Alexander has a muscular body type, with broadly built shoulders and a V-shaped body frame. He changes the length of his hair every few weeks with transfiguration, which tends to bother his professors. He has a fairly strong jawline and thick, defined eyebrows that frame his large, blue eyes. He has a pinkish tan skin tone and a dark brown hair colour that sometimes shows lighter brown tones depending on the light.

{{ Personality }}
Like many Slytherins, Alexander has somewhat of an arrogant attitude; however, he knows his strengths and weaknesses and doesn't flaunt what he doesn't have. He is extremely stubborn and gives off an air of aloofness, and he has a difficult time trusting others and prefers to be alone more often than not. He has a love for transfiguration and uses it to change his hair most of the time, to keep himself occupied. He enjoys the idea of being able to transform something into something entirely different. He is also fascinated by the inner-workings of Alchemy, Potions, and Herbology, as they all play into each other on occasion. He has a broad-thinking mind, and he doesn't hesitate to educate others, though he sometimes comes off as blunt or boorish to others.
{{ History }}
Alexander's parents had never planned to have a child, at least not yet. However, they didn't love Alexander any less. He became their pride and joy, and he was everything they could have hoped for him to be. He had his father's features and his mother's eyes and hair. In all sense of the word, he was beautiful. At a young age, his parents could tell that their son had an aptitude for transfiguration, as he had completely transformed the length of his own hair. From that point on, they knew he would do great things.
When he was eleven, he was off to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unlike quite a few of the other children at the train station, he had no issues getting onto the train and leaving his parents behind. He had his cat, Creature, with him anyway, and he knew he would keep him company on the trip. He fell asleep on the way to the school, waking up to the sound of shuffling feet leaving the train car. He grabbed his few belongings and followed suit, making sure to not get left behind.
After going through the usual first year tour and sorting, he had been sorted into Slytherin, which his parents would be happy to hear about. His housemates welcomed him and the other new Slytherins warmly, and many of them sneered at the Gryffindors, old and new. Alexander mostly kept to himself, still feeling kind of overwhelmed by everything.
Over his first couple of years at the school, he had made a few acquaintances, but no real good friends yet. He also excelled quickly in Transfiguration and found a love for Potions and Herbology as well. He enjoyed Defense Against the Dark Arts, but he didn't feel like that was where his heart was. When he was able to take elective courses, he picked up Alchemy and Care of Magical Creatures. He didn't particularly care to learn much about creatures, but it was the only other elective that interested him in the slightest.
Being around other Slytherins caused Alexander to develop a sort of arrogance and he became very stubborn. Though he had an aloof attitude, he was very observant of others at the school, from all houses. When he became a sixth year, he elected to take the Apparition class, wanting to learn something outside of his current slew of studies. He caught on very quickly to the art, practicing around the school, even though he wasn't really supposed to. However, he was pretty good at not getting caught. As he wandered the halls of the school, he began to notice some students more than others. He noticed one girl in particular more than the others. She had curly auburn hair and light brown eyes. He knew just from her looks that she was a Weasley, but she was an interesting character to observe.
Eventually he figured out that her name was Rose, and she was a year behind him. He couldn't quite figure out why she was so intriguing, though he hated that she was a Gryffindor. It figured as much.
Now it was his seventh, and last, year at Hogwarts. His schedule was busy with classes as always, and he continued to stay fascinated by both his favourite subjects and the other students.
