He has thick dark brown hair and dark brown eyes. He is usually clean shaven or has a stubble beard. <br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> <br/>Positive:<br/>- Caring<br/>- Passionate<br/>- Honest<br/>- Friendly<br/>- Romantic<br/><br/>Negative:<br/>- Easily overwhelmed<br/>- Body image issues<br/>- Clumsy<br/>- Awkward<br/>- Stubborn<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong> Valentin is the second child of Armand Delestrac, a Muggle wine producer in the region of Cassis, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department in southern France near Marseille, and Clémence Besancenot, a Witch and relatively successful writer. He has an older sister called Victoria who is four years his senior. Valentin grew up in the family's vineyard in the outskirt of Cassis, located less than 20 kilometers to the east of Marseille. He often ended up in the <acronym title="Nickname for Marseille">cité phocéenne</acronym> for various reasons during his youth, notably to go see matches of the local football team with his father at the Stade Vélodrome. <br/><br/>At a young age, Valentin began reading Franco-Belgian comic books known in French as <em>bandes dessinées</em> or BD for short, a common cultural practice. From Tintin to Astérix, Valentin devoured all the comics, falling in love with Spirou especially. He also read the famous magical tales and stories of the wizarding kind but felt somehow a bigger connection with the Muggle heroes. Entering his teenager years, he started developing his own magic and was an average student, neither excelling nor failing in any class. By the time he took his OWLs, Valentin had realized he had an affinity for history and developed his political thoughts, with particular focus on the French context. <br/><br/>After graduating from high school level, he pursued his university education at Beauxbâtons, after obtaining his NEWT grades. He did better than he expected and found a particular liking to wandless magic. He is currently trying to set up a student union at Beauxbâtons and intends on exporting the idea to other European schools. He sees the Triwizard tournament as a perfect opportunity to exchange ideas and meet some European comrades. <br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Politics, the Communards, anti-clericalism, honesty, Franco-Belgian comics, football, crime novels, history, wandless magic<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Parisians, Gaullists and Bonapartists, Adolphe Thiers, people that don't take him seriously, blood discrimination, deceit; fear of abandonment<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> <br/>Father | Armand Delestrac | Wine producer | 52 | Muggle<br/>Mother | Clémence Besancenot | Writer | 49 | Half-blood<br/>Sister | Victoria Delestrac | Beauxbâtons student | 23 | Half-blood<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br/>O - Outstanding<br/>E - Exceeds Expectations<br/>A - Acceptable<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br/>P - Poor<br/>D - Dreadful<br/><del>T - Troll</del><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><strong>OWL Grades:</strong><br/><em>Charms</em> - E<br/><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br/><em>Potions</em> - E<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - A<br/><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br/><em>Divination</em> - E<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br/><em>Arithmancy</em> - E<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br/><em>Charms</em> - O<br/><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - E<br/><em>Potions</em> - E<br/><em>Divination</em> - A<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br/><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><br/><strong>Familiar:</strong> N/A, wouldn't bring it to Hogwarts<br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Jay Baruchel<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong> Character specific ONs: Cunnilingus, giving rimjob (meaning he eats ass), kissing, big breasts, straightforwardness, risk of being caught, someone that says yes; OFFs: Big age difference, inflicting any form of pain, fascists, Parisians; O&amp;Os (see signature)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong> Valentin is an Olympique de Marseille fan.
