OVERALL PERSONALITYArthur's a good natured person and his fairness is a particularly noteworthy element of his character as he always wants to do the right thing. He considers his decisions very deeply and is never happy to be the reason others suffer. Very brave and willing to take risks even at the cost of his own safety. The thought of his own safety doesn't even cross his mind when others are at risk. Arthur has a great love for people and is just naturally very charismatic. He's a bit dim, to be honest. His schoolwork is... satisfactory. Honestly, he tries, but schoolwork is just never high on his to-do-list.

Arthur is a talented and charismatic leader, capable of inspiring great loyalty in people, though at times he doubts whether or not he deserves it. However, since he would never ask anyone to do anything he would not do himself, loyalty is generally forthcoming. The lengths Arthur goes to for the sake of people he cares about or is indebted to allow him to reap great loyalty in return from people in all walks of life. Arthur is adept at hiding his true feelings, or just too thick to realise he has them. He also finds it somewhat difficult to express himself emotionally. Only his sisters have seen him cry.

Despite his good nature, Arthur also has a hot temper and can at times become violent and aggressive, particularly when loved ones are threatened. There have been a few cases where Arthur flew into a rage and reacted violently, stopped short of ever actually killing someone out of anger, usually because someone else intervened before he went too far. True, he was aggressive before his run in with the werewolf, but it definitely didn't help. He was calmer before. Another negative aspect of Arthur is that he's still a very fickle and uncertain man who does not seem to have a straight opinion about anything, who often changes his mind.

Arthur is really just a very boyish, slightly immature twit. Particularly regarding his best friend, whom he frequently teases and plays practical jokes on. Arthur does however have a habit of ignoring good advice and acting of his own accord. He enjoys Quidditch and running and just staying fit. Mostly for the ladies *waggles eyebrows*. Ladies man, this one. In year four, girls seemed to gravitate towards the blonde. His ego grew over the years. Summing up; he's the kind of guy who will write down your homework without your permission, put his feet on the table and laugh if you fall on your face. (He'll help you up, of course. After he's taken a picture.)[/color]

HISTORY Arthur is the first born son to Neville and Hannah Longbottom. His bravery and mind he got from his father, and his kindness and blonde... ness he got from his mother. Even from a young age, Aid was protective over his two little siblings, especially Amelia. She was so spontaneous and wild, he just had to keep an eye on her. This didn't really turn out in his favour when he had followed his brother and sister into the Forbidden Forest and got attacked by werewolves. They got split up and, although he's fast, he wasn't fast enough. A werewolf took a swipe at his back - where there are now three long scars - and a little nibble before running off. He doesn't know why they decided to leave him, but thank God they did. He stumbled through the forest and found his little sister, carrying her back to the castle, crying as he thought her dead. When she was safe, he didn't hesitate in venturing back into the forest in search for his brother. When he had carried him back, too, he promptly passed out.

He never told Amelia that the werewolves got to him, because when she woke up she was so fragile and scared, he didn't want to push her further. He also still has no idea what happened to his brother, but after news of Amelia being a werewolf spread through the school, he decided to keep it to himself. Of course he feels ashamed about it, his sister having to suffer but him not. Whenever people bully her, he will kick their asses. He only told the Headmaster/mistresses, who helped him by giving him wolfbane and a place to phase without getting anyone hurt. He wouldn't be able to bear it.

Arthur's now a seventh year jock, with average marks, a fair few ladies with grudges against him, tons of friends and a whole lot more to do.

(If you require more detail in the history - years before Hogwarts and the werewolf thing - hit me over the head and I'll write you up something. Might be rubbish, but I'll try)[/color][/font][/font][/font]
