| General Appearance |
When Scorpius was young, people said that he looked exactly like his father when he was his age. As Scorpius grew older, more traits from his mother appeared, darkening his hair, softening his sharp features. In school, one would see him wearing custom-made Hogwarts robes, made of silk. In his regular clothes, he wears black suit pants, dragon hide boots, and a white dress shirt with the two top buttons undone. His hair, which was jelled back when he was younger, is now never jelled back, and usually just pulled back behind his ears and falling to his shoulders.
| Likes |
Scorpius has many likes. He also likes to do many things. He is an avid reader, a lover of knowledge and invigorating his mind. He enjoys his schoolwork, he enjoys hard work. He loves most foods, sweets only once in a while. He listens to the piano, the violin (he plays them both), and most every other instrument. Whenever he gets the chance to listen to music, he will. It does not matter what genre. To him, music is music, and he loves it. He loves both his parents and his grandmother (not the grandfather). His grandmother especially, because she was the only who actually conversed with Scorpius.
He also enjoys playing with other people's emotions and minds. He likes it when he overpowers people into doing what he wants them to do. He likes when people are hurt, and when people have fallen to his level. He likes to see a person reach the breaking point and become bad like him. He really enjoys anything bad that befalls on others.
But the one thing that Scorpius likes the most, is his ability to always choose the winning side, and come out on top, with no hurt feelings on either side of the conflict.

| Dislikes |
Scorpius does not have many dislikes, but the ones he does have are big. He dislikes his grandfather, almost hates him. Lucius Malfoy was never a good grandfather, always putting unwanted expectations on Scorpius. He worked Scorpius hard when he tutored the boy, and even though Scorpius improved, Lucius never gave him a compliment. This caused the youngest Malfoy to distance himself from his grandfather, and subsequently his father, who had similar expectations (even though his father was nicer about it).
Scorpius utterly despises the stigma of Slytherin house. Most every house, even Ravenclaw, looks at any Slytherins with distaste and distrust. Scorpio wishes to either teach others to stop hating Slytherin, or to turn a Gryffindor into a Dark Lord. Either that, or make sure that the hate for Slytherin stays strong by becoming a Dark Lord himself. This also coincides with his hate for Hogwarts, which is not really a great environment to learn in. Hogwarts is a breeding ground of jealousy, rage, and hate, with people gossiping, lying, and hurting others, either to make themselves feel better, or because they are ignorant fools.

| Talent(s) |
Scorpius is talented at charming, persuading, and sweet-talking. While he is no slouch at wand waving and potion stirring, his specialty lies in his silver tongue. He could make the most devout practitioner of Light magic learn and perform a Dark curse if he wanted to. It's all about getting under their skin, learning their weakness, strengths, likes and dislikes.
| Personality |
When Scorpius was young and just starting Hogwarts, he was an arrogant little twit who thought he could get anything because he was a Malfoy. He was wrong. When he tried it, he was hexed and learned that there is no one person who could like a Malfoy. And being a Malfoy in Slytherin, the hate only grew. So, Scorpius adapted. He changed, and flexed, and thought differently, all the while bottling his negative emotions inside. Instead of being a board, boring and drab, Scorpio aligned his personality to each and every person he met. With many boys, he put up the façade of a friendly rival, and with the girls he chose to be charming and delightful. To the intellectuals, he put up the air of being smart, but not too smart, and with the jock-types, Scorpio decided to target what they loved the most: sports. Scorpius' façade is flexible and adaptable, able to change in any situation.
But under the ever-changing personalities, if you get past his calm and temper-minded patience, then you'll meet the real him; a dark and hate-filled young man. He is a broiler of disgust, distaste, hate, and anger. And sometimes, behind closed doors, his anger gets the better of him.

| History |
When Scorpius was born, his parents and grandparents were overjoyed. An heir, and a son/grandson. While the eldest Malfoy (Lucius), was think of how to use young Scorpius to return the Malfoy name to prominence again, Draco was thinking of making sure that his son would do the best he could. His mother, Astoria, just wanted what was best for Scorpio and to make sure he did not grow up hating juggles, muggle-born, and half-blood. Narcissa was just happy to have a grandson, with no ulterior motives. What made his parents happy was the fact that Scorpius barely ever cried. As Scorpius grew and his grandfather and father were making plans for him, his mother doting on him, and his grandmother actually caring for him, trying to make sure to curb his arrogance. It did not work.
When he turned five, his father and grandfather started teaching him about proper pureblood etiquette, with help from Astoria. During that time, he was allowed to hold a stick and practice the wand movements of various spells; from basic household charms, to more advanced spells like the shield charm. As Scorpius soaked up the knowledge, his grandfather took him aside and started spouting off various pureblood and Malfoy motto's. He told the young Malfoy that they were better than most everyone, that to submit was to lose power and that was not good. Lucius also told him that pureblood's were better than mudbloods and half-bloods. He was screamed at by his mother when she heard him say "mudblood." He learned, then, that there truly was no difference between pure-bloods and mixed-bloods.
When his birthday came around (December 31st), he received his letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The next fall he attended, the Sorting Hat saying he was going to put him in Ravenclaw. He argued and the Sorting Hat finally put him in Slytherin. As per his upbringing, he was an arrogant snot who thought he could walk on anyone. Oh, how he was wrong. In the first month of his first year at Hogwarts, he was hexed and charmed by older Gryffindors. It hurt him. As the Gryffindors, who were nice enough to carry him to the doors of the hospital wing. When the young Malfoy finally gained enough strength to stumble into the wing, he told the healer that he did not want his parents knowing about this incident. The healer respected his wishes, only after many minutes of begin on Scorpius' part. As he lay on the bed, he could only think of how he was going to survive the year. His answer?
Silence. For the rest of his first year, he stayed silent. He observed, and thought, using his innate Ravenclaw nature to learn and adapt. Other than the schoolwork, which was laughably easy, Scorpius watched and listened to the professor's and student's, remembering their names, their ideas, and their ways of talking. He listened to private conversations, learning secrets and rumour, which he had never bought in to. After his first year, he started moulding his personality to each person he met. And it worked. But even though he was charming, and easy to talk to, people still had a distrust in him. His grandfather still had high expectations of him. And this caused him to start hating people, and grow evermore angry. In his third year, he chose the electives Arithmancy, Study of Ancient Runes, and Divination.

| Abilities |
Intermediate Occlumency: Scorpius, learning from his grandfather and father, had become able to guard his mind against most mental attacks, including the Imperio. Unless someone truly wants something, or is a master Legilimens, then he cannot defend against them. He is still learning and growing, though.
Novice Legilimens: Due to learning Occlumency, Scorpius gained some ability in Legilimency. When he gazes into someone's eyes, he can sometimes "see" strong surface thoughts and emotion.
Animagus: His parents could not become animagi. His grandparents, also, could not. So Scorpius, wanting to do something that no Malfoy had ever done before, decided to train to become one. Using meditation techniques from Occlumency training, Scorpius found his "inner animal" to be the Inland Taipan, one of the most venomous snakes in the world. The meditation took over six months (he started training at the start of his fourth year) and the actual, self-transfiguration training took one and a half years. He finished and became an animagus the end of his fifth year.
