personality: Dante, around people he's comfortable with, is happy and collected; he'll laugh at the jokes he finds funny, he'll use some sly humor, and he'll smile a lot. He can be really serious when the time calls, but generally he has a calm happiness about him that tends to draw people toward him. However, when he finds himself in company he doesn't know well, especially women, he's shy and gets embarrassed easily. His face turns red immediately and he doesn't talk much. He's the same with personal displays of affection, if he actually finds himself in a relationship; he blushes immediately at contact and comments.
strong areas of magic: Care of Magical Creatures
weak areas of magic: History of Magic

background: Dante grew up in South Carolina with his parents in a small house. They weren't particularly wealthy, but they weren't bad off; they lived happily and comfortably. Dante was raised with magic, and he grew to love every part of it. He never really had an active imagination, but he could entertain himself for hours just running around. He was very happy.
On a clear, sunny weekend, while his parents sat in the front yard planting flowers and doing general yard work, Dante was running around the backyard, racing himself back and forth across the grass. On a particularly ambitious run, he left the confines of the backyard. He wasn't ready to stop running yet; he wanted to see how far he could go before he got tired. It wasn't long of turning corners and following sidewalks with his head down that he got lost. It was dark before his parents found him, a bite mark on his arm and tears in his eyes. They fixed him up, but they soon found out that the werewolf infection they had dreaded had infected their son, and his life would never be the same. He still has no recollection of what happened, exactly, but the large scar on his shoulder reminds him every day of what he has become.
Dante learned how to manage his 'condition,' if not control it, and a few years later he received his invitation to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Instead of sending their son on his own, however, his parents decided they would move across the pond to London, so they would be close if something were to happen. Dante was able to keep his condition secret with the help of the professors and a few close friends, and he's had a fairly decent time in school, although he has trouble and gets frustrated with classes that require a lot of booksmarts.

rp example: Dante frowned, shifting in his chair. The book in his lap was for his least favorite subject, and he knew he was never going to remember all the dates and names that swam before him on the black and white page. There was no way he was going to be able to pass the test tomorrow, and he would just have to accept that. Another night of attempting to make up for the failure was obvious in his future, working on some kind of extra credit project. At least the professor was understanding; Dante put in so many hours of studying and working for the class, he just... wasn't particularly good at it. There wasn't much he could do about that.
He set the book on the floor and sighed, closing his eyes and leaning his head against the chair. It was so late... maybe he should just call it a night?
No. No, he needed to study. He needed to try to get a good grade on this test. Even though he'd spent the last two hours studying, he knew he needed more. He could absorb at least a little more information.
He leaned over to grab the book and fell out of the chair. He flushed immediately, embarrassed even though there wasn't anyone else in the common room with him. Anyone who was smart had already gone to bed, and those that weren't were too busy partying or some such nonsense to hang out here.
The carpet was rather comfortable. Dante wondered if it was even worth it to haul himself to the dormitory, or if he could just pass out right here, on the floor...
Yes. He was done. His eyes were closed before he had decided he was going to go to sleep, and his body was relaxed. It was only a few moments before he was out, his History of Magic book under his head as a makeshift pillow. His last conscious thought was the he hoped no one tripped over him.
