He makes up entirely for that in the energy that he always has in his body, and the extra spring in his step seems to make up for his lack of height.<br/><strong>Other Notable Features:</strong>Has a long scar up the outside of his right arm, but usually wears long-sleeved shirts to cover it.<br/><br/><div align="center"><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">More Pictures</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://content7.flixster.com/photo/11/38/36/11383609_ori.jpg)(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-cViv8cqaqYs/Tq6xXBHsMuI/AAAAAAAAEKo/Yo7838iwwpU/s1600/gaspard%2B9.jpg)(http://ilarge.listal.com/image/4034181/968full-gaspard-ulliel.jpg)</div></div></div><br/><div align="center"><em><strong>In Depth</strong></em></div><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>Marc is a very bubbly spirit, always friendly and kind to others. He particularly loves the arts and music. His favorite magic class as a student was Charms, which he excelled in. He always has a smile on his face and is generally a very lenient teacher, though he can be very strict when it comes to things he particularly dislikes. He is relatively averse to using magic, focusing instead mostly on Protective Charms, given his Muggle upbringing and soft nature, but is very quick to do whatever is necessary to protect those he knows. When he gets into talking about something that he loves to talk about, he can run on and on as if he can't stop.<br/><br/><strong>History:</strong>Marc was born the son of a Muggle noblewoman and a Squib who had mostly fallen out of wizard society, choosing to live with Muggles. His parents didn't really suspect that he would have magical powers. As his magical powers manifested, though, he was graced with an invitation to Beaxbatons, an account of his being the last wizard in the line of his father's ancestors. His mother (who needed quite a bit of explanation about this, but in the end understood) and father wished him the best of luck, even though they knew they might be losing their son to the wizard world, and in return Marc always made sure to visit them every so often. He went through school loving some of his classes and doing quite poorly in others, but in the end he graduated.<br/><br/>After he graduated, he went on to work in the Ministry of Magic, hoping to get involved with the politics of the magic world. He wanted to change how Muggles were treated, but that was more of a long term dream of his. His initial goal was to work on setting some more laws around Dark charms, making better ways to protect people from them. As a student fresh out of college, though he found that he had a hard time convincing people to listen to him, even though his people skills were quite good. Still, he learned much about politics and how the Ministry worked. After a number of years, though, he figured he either had to make a move in the Ministry or do something else to make himself more prominent.<br/><br/>After some thought, an opening for a professor position at his alma mater, Beaxbatons, crossed his desk, and he began thinking. A professor would surely garner more respect than he would currently. Besides, it would be fun to go back and teach his students. History of Magic was really the only class in school that had taught him anything about the Ministry, after all. His practical skills in Charms were useful, but he hadn't had a chance to put them to use yet. The more and more Marc thought about it, he thought it was the right move for him. And so here he was, a professor at Beauxbatons, enjoying it about as much as most students thought History of Magic was boring, even though he had no right to do so.<br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong>Teaching, love, art and music, dealing with problems without resorting to magic<br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong>Violence, lying, not respecting people (whether it be a teacher, a student, or a Muggle), breaking magical law or misusing magic<br/><div style="text-align: right;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 8pt;"><strong>AdrianZef</strong></span></div>
