He doesn't dream unreasonable dreams, knowing what is possible and what is not. He wouldn't describe himself as cold or mean, though. He was just a realist. He did know to recognize the feelings of others sometimes, though, since that was necessary to climb his way upwards in the world. He is driven and strong-willed in everything he puts his mind to. He loves learning and hates not knowing things, which drives him in his schoolwork as well.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Jean-Paul came quite naturally into his magical power, which was quite expected, given his blood status. Being the youngest of 4, Jean-Paul had always grown up wanting more attention, after all, he was the smartest of his family. But no, he was always treated as the youngest, which put him off... even though of course, he was the youngest. Jean-Paul knew that he was the one that was going to make his family name famous. He was driven to succeed in whatever he wanted, motivated by how his family accepted their place in the middle class.<br/><br/>When it came time to go to school, Jean-Paul had no choice as to what school he was going to, but he did have a choice of what things he would take to school. He ended up getting a wand that he thought personified him, and he got a pet raven, which other people always underestimated, much like him. The raven was quite smart, very good at finding valuable things, and good at getting away from trouble. In his first two years at Beauxbatons, he constantly came in the top ranks of his classes, even his art classes, though he had no great love for anything other than painting. Now in his third year, he hopes to try out for the Quidditch team for the position of Seeker.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Jean-Paul's parents come from a long family of wizards, though a lesser-known one. They were what you could describe as a pure blood middle class. The ones who followed the great pure bloods in history, but never the ones who lead. They were a respectable family, though, and well off enough to not worry for money. And, to their credit, the Lesperance line is as strong as ever. Jean-Paul himself had 2 older brothers and an older sister, who had all graduated already, and several cousins as well. His entire family had attended Beauxbatons, and had done so for several generations, so him and all of his siblings went there as well. His family was ambivalent of Muggle-borns, thinking of them as a nuisance rather than scum, and Jean-Paul himself cared more for intelligence and skills than blood line, but some of his older ancestors were quite strict about what they thought of Muggle-borns.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Learning. Knowing things others don't know. Quidditch. Realism, both in life and in art (which applies most to paintings and sculptures, as far as art goes). Magic.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Being bored. Favoritism.<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>The unknown.<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>Birds, they were always the most intelligent of the creatures, in general. Especially ravens, as evidenced by his choice of pet.<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>Brown, Silver.<br/><br/><div align="center"><strong>Class Schedule:</strong></div><ul class="bbc_list"><li>DADA</li><li>HoM</li><li>Core: Charms</li><li>Core: Potions</li><li>Core: Transfigurations</li><li>Elective: Art</li><li>Elective: Flying</li></ul><br/><div align="center"><strong>Service:</strong> Village Service</div><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>AdrianZef</strong></span></div>
