Physical Description:
Shorter than his brother, and slighter in build, one might say Tim takes after his late mother more than his father in appearance. He has darker brown hair, which he's growing out a bit and blue eyes, pale skin.

Tim arrived at Hogwarts this academic year feeling noticeably shorter and younger than Ambrose, but the past couple of terms have seen him grow inches and hear his voice drop. Well, it's still a bit wonky, but it seems to be settling. He walks gently, dipping his head, and is considered in his actions. His hands and feet have grown first, bringing a sudden clumsiness.

All this has brought with it an awkward lack of confidence and self awareness of how he looks. Throw into that the fact he's noticing girls and he blushes a deep purple at the worst of times, it's no wonder he's bought supplies in pimple cream.

Tim cannot wait until he finishes growing and starts to fill out. If he fills out. He's suspicious that Ambrose has been given the looks to make up for his lack of brains, and Tim's brains mean he'll be forever stuck in an awkward body.


Personality Description:
Tim is not short on brains. He has enough to sit above average in his year at Hogwarts. When he is truly captivated by a subject, he can achieve grades that make his father very proud. Tim's mind isn't always on task in lessons. He has plans of his own, dreams to be a healer, or find another life path that intrigues and satisfies his moral interests. As such, he's liable to do the required minimum on homework and spend time researching something else that's caught his eye. Occasionally he surprises his favourite professors with an essay or piece of writing which he would like their opinion on.

He is sensible, logical and determined. Tim is patient, whether it is to learn something himself, help his brother out, or a friend he will see something through from start to finish. He finds joy in helping others achieve their dreams, and is a good friend and brother for devoting time to working with others.

Although Tim hasn't recognised it yet, he is a natural leader. An independent soul, his peers are willing to follow his suggestion and lead on things without him outrightly insisting. If it were pointed out, he would be terribly self-conscious.

He is ambitious in his plans, courageous. He might have been a good fit for Gryffindor if he hadn't had his heart set on Ravenclaw and the opportunities it brought. Inheriting the Pepper family's interest in inventing and exploring, he has the temperament to manage a business and follow a craft. He would be a natural apprentice to Francis after Theta, his cousin who is studying time turners. But Tim has other plans at the moment.

As Tim grows up and finds his voice, combined with the fact he is unaware of how he influences others, he can be opinionated. He can be critical of others who are not as capable or as quick as he might be, and that can hurt feelings. He and his brother get on well but Tim is guilty of more than a few sharp comments to Ambrose about his shortcomings.

Sometimes Tim forgets his friends in pursuit of something he has become obsessed or determined to achieve. In the heat of the moment of pursuing his goal he can trample on others. He feels awful the moment he realises or it is pointed out to him and will go to great lengths to apologise and make up for it.

When something Tim has planned really doesn't go his way, he is guilty of brooding about it for a while longer than is sensible. He may reiterate his downfalls and failures in those down moments and declare himself a failure in an overly dramatic fashion.

Tim has an irrational fear of clowns (http://katigori.tumblr.com/post/121418073239/where-the-fuck-did-that-clown-come-from).


History:
Timothy was born to Francis and Claire Pepper. He was Claire's third child, having half-brother Thomas, from a previous relationship which had ended, and Ambrose, Tim's brother before, and two school years ahead.

Life at home was happy. Tim and Ambrose attended local schools, the family content to fit into a Muggle life as far as possible. Claire, being Muggleborn was very adept at this, and neatly prepared explanations about boarding school for the boys, and how not to speak about magic before their friends. Occasionally they would slip up, but their teachers put it down to an overactive imagination, and if they ever met Francis (which was less often than they did Claire) they put it down to genes.

Tim always got on well with his late mother, and his relationship with his father has been less stable since his mother was obliviated incorrectly. Since her death and an engagement, leading Gabrielle Murray to be Tim's future step mother, Tim has felt less sure about his family life. Francis Pepper creates time turners, a family business that has been passed down through generations from father to son. It requires precision and patience, and Tim is his father's hope to carry this on, even though his cousin Theta is his current apprentice. The time turners are regulated and controlled by the Ministry, though Francis isn't considered a true unspeakable, despite working with the Department of Mysteries.

Claire was until the summer of 2008 a scribe for the Wizengamot, sitting in on lengthy trials. While Ambrose and Tim were too young to attend Hogwarts, she worked as best she could, and occasionally made use of time turners Francis had not yet delivered to make it possible to collect her sons from school when they were very young. The Department turned a blind eye the first half dozen times, which was thankfully all that was needed.

Tim was impatient to get to Hogwarts. His half-brother and his brother were already there. In the summer of 2008 just before Tim's first year, his older half-brother left Hogwarts before his exams and came home. An argument between Thomas and his mother ensued, and Tim was witness to Thomas obliviating their mother incorrectly. In his state, he lied to his father and claimed not to be present when it happened.

While the family rallied round, Claire in hospital, Francis falling to pieces, Tim read up all he could before going and quizzed the extended family of Peppers and Hughes, trying to unravel what was fact and what was adult teasing. While shopping for school supplies with his father and his brother, Ambrose decided to try and steal some self correcting ink from Florish and Blotts. He was caught, and in the heat of the moment, Timothy admitted blame, claiming he'd planted the bottle in Ambrose's pocket to get him in trouble.

Ambrose, gobsmacked at his younger brother covering for him, stuttered and later claimed he'd been winding Tim up, so that their father gave them equal punishment for the incident. It was a pretty horrible summer for both, and the brothers realised how much they had to stick together. Come September, Ambrose and Tim both boarded the Hogwarts Express.

Tim's teachers were very glad to discover that Tim could actually cast spells without causing accidents unlike his older brother. It took a couple of terms to shake off the reputation that preceded him, that he was another Ambrose, and gained a newfound sympathy for his older brother. Tim was quietly glad he was good at magic, he had been very worried that he would be worse than Ambrose and they would send him home, declared a squib.

In his third year, Tim has found his feet and his friends, and is looking forward to being out of his brother's shadow (even if he'll miss him next year) and study some new subjects. Tim is keen to carve himself a proper identity - especially as he's about to gain a half sister, step mother and a set of scary relations, and leave his home since birth in Biggleswade for a big house in Wiltshire. New life, no more brother at school, maybe not even at home. Tim didn't want to consider that...

In his fourth year, Tim found his first girlfriend - Akira Hericho - and began to pursue his career interest in healing with more focus. He spent some time over the summer holidays doing work experience at St Mungo's too.

How Do You Fit Into Your House?:
Tim's love of research, pursuit of knowledge and his intellect place him well in Ravenclaw. He always wanted to be a Ravenclaw and thought hard of it when the Sorting Hat graced his head. He is very proud to be a claw.
