Appearance

Hair: Blond Eyes: Blue Weight: 155lbs Height: 5' 10" Other distinguishing features: A cluster of odd scars on his back Physical Description: Phelan takes after his mother with nordic good looks, shaggy, golden blond hair and deep blue eyes. He always has a careworn expression though as if he's slightly tired or seized by ennui though when he does smile it has an impish quality. He has a slim build which is accentuated by the snug fitting clothes he wears, most often black. he takes care with his appearance and has a manner some might consider effeminate, others emo, and still others don't know what to make of him though if someone familiar with muggles saw him out and about, they'd peg him for an art student. He rarely raises his voice, even when he's angry, and his hands are almost always covered with little smudges of ink, paint, or charcoal.

Personality

Phelan is a loner and a bit of an enigma and content with being both. He is polite, when he isn't too distracted to pay attention, and can be charming when he socializes with a dry sense of humor that can make you feel like you're in on an inside joke, but he mostly keeps to himself. There's been some speculation over the years whether he fancies boys or girls or both or nobody at all but there is no definitive answer on that yet. One thing everyone does know is that he's a talented artist who spends almost every minute of his time not taken up by school painting and he has come up with quite a few paint formulas that lend his paintings a variety of special effects.

A Little Deeper

Phelan was born into a muggle world where he lived a life of privilege as far as wealth goes. His father made his own fortune in real estate speculation and married a Swedish supermodel, who had money of her own. This did not stop them from fighting over money, using Phelan and his sister Philomena as pawns, in a divorce that dragged out for years. All this before Phelan was ten. His parents' split was bitter, and he and his sister found themselves shuttled back and forth between their father's home in London and their mother's home in Stockholm though truthfully regardless of which home they were in they spent most of their time with the nanny. Phelan and his sister were quite close for much of their childhood but it was revealed that he was a wizard and she was not, jealousy caused an estrangement. Once he began exhibiting a talent for magic, suddenly he became of interest to his paternal grandparents. At first he had hopes for the relationship but he soon learned why his father was such an asshole once he got to know them. It did allow Phelan to discover that his great-grandmother was a painter too, one of great potential but who died young, murdered by a jealous husband. He did come into possession of several of her sketchbooks, however, that contained many noted on her paint potions and charms. They remain his most cherished possessions. Between his belligerent father, party-girl mother, insufferable grandparents, and envious sister, he was all too happy to go to Hogwarts and has not looked back. This past summer he started making some of his own money on commissions for his work and is relieved that he no longer has to rely on family. Lately he and his sister have reconnected somewhat and while things are a bit strained there is hope the relationship can be salvaged. Worst Memor(ies): The day his father found out Phelan was a wizard and lost his bloody mind. His mother's endless parade of obnoxious boyfriends. Best Memory: The first successful paint concoction he came up with Favorite Animal(s): The first successful paint concoction he came up with Favorite Color(s): Can't pick a favorite but black is always good
