"technically it's a ferret"

EYE COLOUR: brown
HAIR COLOUR: brown
HEIGHT: five feet eleven inches
WEIGHT: one hundred sixty-one pounds
MARKS: none
CLOTHING STYLE: Generally, Michael prefers one of two styles for his day. On one hand, he wears a nice looking pair of pants and a button up shirt, one that is often a little smaller in appearance when compared to the muscled frame that he possess. The other is a much more casual approach, with a pair of nicely fitting jeans and a t-shirt that also shows off every contour in his upper body. Black, blue and some lighter shades of pink seem to compliment his darker skin tone, given by his mother's side, and off set his dark brown eyes.
PHYSICAL APPEARANCE: Like his father, Michael is a rather tall young man, standing at almost six feet now at only fifteen years of age. From his mother, he inherited a set of dark eyes that are almost black in colour, black hair and a darker skin tone that has once or twice set him apart from the rest of the school population. Though he has never suffered any discrimination because of these things, he was always slightly awkward growing up, the skinny little guy with big feet back in his first year. But as time wore on and he discovered the joys of muggle fitness, and thus grew from a scrawny twig into this rather muscular genius who still stays true to his Ravenclaw roots and refuses to stop studying.

PERSONALITY:
intelligent
Being a Ravenclaw, Michael shows a talent in the field of study, most specifically in Charms and Care of Magical Creatures. He seems able to truely connect with the animals he works with, both magical and mundane, and they show a trust in him that some people have never before shown. Touched, he has made up his mind to go into a career that involves animals, all the while devoting himself to his studies so that he can reach this goal.

hopeless romantic
Though he will not admit this to anyone, and sometimes not even to himself, Michael is a bit of a romantic at heart. He hopes to one day find a girl who is soft-spoken, and perhaps a little shy, someone who will appreciate him for who he is, not just how he looks. He's the kind of guy to bring you a single rose as a gift, or take you for a romantic walk through the gardens and then surprise you with a candlelight dinner at the end of the path. Some think his dreams are foolish and lacking in masculine touch, but he thinks that sensitivity is the key to the right lady's heart.

loyal
Michael possess a strong sense of family, which really cares over when he hears people speaking ill about them. Though they rarely do anymore, having no reason to do so, he is the kind of guy to jump in front of a bullet for them in order to protect them from harm, and shows the same kind of loyalty to his close friends. He believes firmly in the idea that trust and respected are earned, not freely given, though he gives everyone an opportunity to show their true colours and then tries his best to make his judgements off of that.

soft-spoken
Very rarely can someone make this boy raise his voice in anger, instead seeing his true feeling unleashed in a hushed tone that drips of poison and sarcasm. Michael doesn't usually lash out physically either, prefering instead to take out his distaste on something that will not suffer from his abuse, such as the punching bag that hangs in his basement at home. Otherwise, he tends to be the sweet, intelligent guy that many like mainly because he is grounded.

♦ history
"the past cannot be undone"

MOTHER: elizabeth belby (nee jones)
FATHER: marcus belby
SIBLINGS: 2 brothers, ravenclaws 17 & 16
OTHERS: none
HISTORY: Born on a sunny August 20th, Michael Andrew Belby became the third and final addition to the Belby clan, adding to their number of boys once more. Though Elizabeth had secretly hoped for a little girl, she knew that she could never give her son up for the world, and loved him just as she had the other two. Both of his brothers were thrilled at the idea of having someone to play with and teach to play sports, and perhaps beat on when they wanted to wrestle as boy's are known to do. He grew up a happy child, always secure with who he was and what he was sure to become. Though he always had questions, they never stopped him from doing what he loved, a vast majority of which was throwing around a football with his brothers.

As any other witch or wizard, at aged eleven he was put aboard the Hogwarts Express and taken off on a whirlwind adventure before he even crossed the lake to the school. One student nearly fell in, and while he decided to look over the side for the famous Giant Squid, another boy gave him a shove and nearly sent him into it as well. When his brother's found out, they were furious, but unable to act because Michael had not seen the face of the boy who had shoved him. Life went on as usual, with classes and friends to be seen and made, and as a Ravenclaw, it was expected that he pay good attention to his school work.

However, in his third year, Michael was cornered by yet another gang of Slytherins who had nothing better to do than pick on him and throw cruel words in his face. Knowing that his brothers were not around to save him, nor would always be there, Michael finally summoned up the courage to stand up for himself, and thus was when he began training to make himself look more intimidating. Few people mess with him now, though it seems that many of the girls have become attracted to his appearance, which bothers him greatly, for he is a modest soul.
