It takes a great deal to get him excited or knock him from his calm center. He tends to keep to himself, preferring the quiet to the company of others though he has the politeness to be social when it is required. He has a strong inner drive and applies himself eagerly to his studies in the hopes of making his parents, especially his mother, proud of him.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Valter was born in a little hospital in Harstad, Norway, the birthplace of his father and his family. The first six years of his life were nothing but happiness, love and learning. His mother taught him to speak French, her mother tongue, while his father instructed him in the gruffness of Norwegian. He had a tendency of mixing them when he was young, much to the humor of his family. Sadly it would not last forever. The winter of his sixth year his mother took very ill. Despite everything medicine could do and a little ‘assistance’ from her family, she passed before spring, leaving a very heartbroken son. In the wake of his wife’s death, his father considered moving down to France to be closer to her family but was unable to due to financial burdens. So they stayed and Valter grew under his father’s guidance, developing a deep drive and desire to honor the memory of his mother.<br/><br/>When Valter was fifteen, he and his father, who had recently sold his logging company, moved south to France, settling in the coastal town of Marseille so that they could be close to his mother’s family. His father had suspected that the time would soon come for the letter of acceptance and wanted his son to develop his French so that he would be able to attend the school that his mother had gone to. When the letter arrived Valter of course was skeptical, having no knowledge of such a place as Beauxbaton, but with his father’s bidding he set out to discover this unknown side of his family tree.<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong>Father: Ulrik Endresen, muggle, born and raised in Norway, logger by trade.<br/>Mother: Isabelle Proulx, witch, born in Cannes, France, graduate of Beauxbaton, Bellefeuille house.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Reading, working with his hands, sitting under tall trees.<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Large groups, snooty people, not doing well in class.<br/><strong>Fears:</strong>Failing in the eyes of his mother.<br/><strong>Favorite Animal(s):</strong>Anything and everything in the forest though he is partial to wolves and owls.<br/><strong>Favorite Color(s):</strong>Deep forest green<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Class List</div><div class="spoiler_body"><div align="center">First year students can just add the following class schedule to their sheet:<br/>Defense Against the Dark Arts<br/>Flying<br/>History of Magic<br/>Potions<br/>Herbology<br/>Charms<br/>Transfiguration</div></div></div><br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>ArtemisHighmore</strong></span></div><br/>
