Physical Description:
Grubson is a rather slim man, with brown, shaggy hair and bright, lively blue eyes.  He has a pale-coloured complexion with a mysterious, large scar along his right arm.  His back is slightly hunched and Grubson is rarely seen without a playful smile on his face.

Personality Description:
Grubson is a fun-loving joker who is rarely seen without a smile.  He is very friendly, quick to lend a hand to others, and a loving father to his son. 

Despite Grubson's rather social and outgoing nature, he is someone who finds it difficult to assert and stand up for himself and, therefore, he often gets exploited and stepped on by others.  He rarely expresses his negative emotions with others, forever hiding behind his friendly and seemingly cheerful smile.  He much prefers joking around than being serious and talking about his feelings. 

Behind Grubson's loving and cheerful nature is a growing emotional instability that he has hidden well from his loved ones.  Grubson is increasingly frustrated towards his wife who constantly criticizes and yells at him.  He also has trouble asserting himself with a boss and colleagues that exploit his good and helpful nature.  Even though Grubson loved his wife dearly when they married, throughout the years he had become increasingly unhappy with her.  Grubson has been keeping his pent-up emotions safely stored deep within himself, afraid to let them out. 

History:
Grubson was the last born child of a loving family with five other children.  He grew up relatively happily with an affectionate, kind-hearted mother.  At Hogwarts, Grubson surprised his family with his intelligence and magical abilities; he seemed like such a clown that nobody expected such talent out of him.  He soon became an intern at the hospital wing of Hogwarts, wanting to become a healer like his beloved mother.  He did so and successfully completed Hogwarts with a recommendation for him to intern at St. Mungo's. 

In his adolescence and early adulthood, Grubson was incredibly shy despite being universally liked due to his friendliness and joker personality.  He was too timid to speak to girls and had very few girlfriends in his lifetime, only going out with girls on those rare occasions where they had made the first move.  One such woman was Jack's mother, who took an instant liking to Grubson's charisma and intelligence.  She married him and soon after, they had Jack.  Grubson's happiest moment was when Jack was born and he became a father.

Describe your job duties and how you go about them:
Grubson works at St. Mungo's, in Spell Damage.  Because of the nature of his job, the quantity of patients they receive, and the shortage of staff, he spends long hours at work often doing overtime. 

Elaborate on your expertise in your field:
Grubson is qualified for being a healer at St. Mungo's because of his three years training as an intern at the hospital wing of Hogwarts.  He graduated from Hogwarts with a letter of recommendation, written by the Hogwarts' healer, for Grubson to become a St. Mungo's intern. After five years training at St. Mungo's, they hired him for a position as healer in Spell Damage.

Writing Sample:


Sum up your character in one paragraph:
Grubson is a kind-hearted, funny man who is easy to get along with.  He struggles to assert himself in his daily life, but conceals well the internal struggle within with a friendly and seemingly cheerful smile.  Grubson is a good father who loves spending as much time as possible with Jack, enjoying joking around with him and teaching him new things.  Finally, Grubson is a good man who has never learned to properly cope with his emotions and as such, holds all of his feelings pent-up inside.
