<div class="floatright">(http://thepensieveofvampwilock.webs.com/dark%20brown%20hair%20and%20blue%20eyes.jpg)</div><strong>Name:</strong>Alexander d'Artagnan VII<br/><strong>Nationality:</strong>French<br/><strong>Blood Status:</strong>Pure (Family has records dating back to early 1600's)<br/><strong>Age: </strong>17<br/><strong>Year:</strong>4th<br/><strong>House:</strong>Gryffindor<br/><br/><strong>Description:</strong>5'9'' or 176 cm. Tan with short length brown hair and has piercing blue eyes. Tattoo on left shoulder of a skull being pierced by 3 different types of blades: a rapier, a longsword, and a dagger. Another tattoo of his mother's birthday in Roman numerals on his left tricep. Clean shaven usually, but it's not extremely rare to see a goatee or a gruff 5 o'clock shadow on him.<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Alex is what one could call "connected." His charm and persuasive abilities are well known in the school but even more so his fencing abilities and his overall fighting ability. He holds his head up high and is sure, steady, and dependable. Alex is a rock with his beliefs and cannot be easily swayed to think opposite of his currently held beliefs. He is not one to fall into peer pressure and encourages others to follow his example and be steady with their beliefs. He works well with others, especially if they share his beliefs and interests.<br/>However, Alex can be hot-headed during his most vulnerable times and can easily go to arms when something doesn't go the way he intended to go. He tends to keep these conflicts outside of the classroom.<br/>Alex is well-spoken and loyal. He can be counted upon to do the most important tasks. Although being a pure blooded wizard, he doesn't care about that and views everyone as equals until someone gives him a reason not to.<br/><br/><strong>Background:</strong>Alex was born in Lyon, France to a very prestigious family in France with a rich history, the D'Artagnan's. He is a middle child of three, the oldest being 23 and the youngest being 9. The D'Artagnan family is known to be proficient in raising great sword-fighters, especially fencers. Alex has many cousins and relatives, so reunions are always a fun time. At age 4, Alex's immediate family and grandfather moved to England because his father got a job in the Ministry of Magic in Britain.<br/>Alex was home-schooled by his grandfather, being taught not only how to read and write, but also how to fence. Swordfighting was the way that the D'Artagnan's settled disputes in France with other families. Alex is very talented, and was seen as such at a young age. He was also very wily, being able to butter people up and get them to do things for him. He was able to sometimes get out of his studies and go to a local park and play with the kids there. One time, he went to a park and, unknowingly, played with some Muggles. His strict grandfather caught him and got angry with him. Alex did not understand, but he was young and did not have a steady hold of his current beliefs or a good understanding of the situation.<br/>Alex eventually went to Hogwarts and began his wizarding career as a student of the prestigious school of Hogwarts.<br/><br/><br/><strong>Interesting Fact:</strong>Alexander d'Artagnan is a descendant of Charles de Batz-Castelmore d'Artagnan who was part of the Musketeers in France during the time of Louis XIV. He gets off to a good start with people who know this about Alex.<br/><br/><strong>Wand: </strong>13.5'' Cherry, dragon heartstring core, sturdy<br/><br/><strong>Pet: </strong>None<br/><br/><strong>Agility:</strong>3Balance 1B<br/><strong>Athletics:</strong>3<br/><strong>Awareness: </strong>3 Notice 1B<br/><strong>Cunning: </strong>3 Memory 1B<br/><strong>Deception:</strong>3<br/><strong>Endurance:</strong>3<br/><strong>Fighting:</strong>4 Fencing 1B<br/><strong>Magic Expertise:</strong>3<br/><strong>Magic Projection:</strong>3<br/><strong>Marksmanship:</strong>2<br/><strong>Persuasion:</strong>4 Charm 1B<br/><strong>Reflexes:</strong>3 Quickness 1B<br/><strong>Status: </strong>3 Rumor 1B<br/><strong>Stealth:</strong>2<br/><strong>Will:</strong>3 Dedication 1B<br/><br/><br/><strong>Classes:</strong><br/>Majors (History of Magic, Ancient Runes) 3<br/>Minors (Herbology, Potions, Muggle Studies) 2<br/>Others (Care of Magical Creatures, Astronomy, Divination, Arithmancy) 2<br/><br/>Qualities: Charismatic, Compelling<br/>Drawbacks:
