Physical Description:
He is sturdily built, squat, compact, yet lean. Like many Spectres, he is physically very strong-- stronger than he looks. He claims that he gives the 'best massages known to mankind' and that his 'hands know what they're doing.' Truth be told, his massages range between mediocre and pretty damn good, depending on whether or not he actually likes the person.  Alistair is on the shorter end of average and is insecure about his height. His resting face makes him look like a freckled, gassy baby. The Slytherin has sweet, kind eyes that were blue when he was younger. As he has gotten older, however, his eyes have started darkening. Alistair's forehead wrinkles easily with most of his facial expressions, though he's young enough that the wear has yet to show.

His father gave him his well defined jaw and strong, slight clefted chin. His red hair was inherited from his father. In the winter, his hair darkens to an auburn brown color. On occasion, he changes color it for a couple days before tiring of the new color and transfiguring it back. His short, straight nose shows no signs of previous injury, although he'll insist that he's taken a bludger to the face more than once in his life.  Alistair worries that girls are more likely to call him 'cute' rather than attractive and manly.


Personality Description:
Alistair is a very physical person-- quick to hug and quick to clap a good friend on the back. His hugs often lift peoples' feet off the ground, and he does not hesitate to throw someone over his shoulder and carry them to a new destination. Even if, and especially if they were not intending to go there in the first place. In fact, if you are friends with Alistair, you are guaranteed to be carried off by him at least once a week. Thanks to his mother and her horrible, horrible cooking skills, Alistair has mastered the art of making good pain perdu-- also known as French Toast. Rumor has it, he also makes a mean apple pie.

Alistair has been lying since first year about being Fred Radley's half brother. Many students (and some staff!) actually believe him, and just as many don't believe him but go along with it to mess with Fred. Alistair loves to plan elaborate pranks, but sometimes his jokes aren't as elaborate or clever as he thinks they are. For example, he once glued an owl feather to the bottom of Fred's shoes and proceeded to hoot at him all day. Nobody cared. Like his friend Connor, he is also currently engaged in the not-so-subtle art of drawing phallic figures on things and sometimes people. Alistair is cool tempered, unless he feels like people he cares about are being maliciously picked on-- after all, he's the only one who can pick on them.

Although ambitious and determined to succeed in life, Alistair does not necessarily view success as being synonymous to fame. To him, success is setting goals for yourself and achieving them. Success lies in accomplishments and personal growth, not in what others think of you. If one were to argue otherwise, Alistair would, kindly, ask you to shut your damn mouth because he doesn't give a fizzing whizbee what you think. Alistair has a bit of a competitive streak. Most of the time, people don't realize that they're actually competing with him-- it's all in his head. He wants to be the best, but if that isn't possible he needs to at least be better than you.


History:
Alistair was born to Apolline Vaillancourt and Benneit Spectre just five months after their wedding. Alistair's mother wanted to name him Jean-Marie, Benneit refused to accept that his firstborn would be named "Jean-Marie." With an exasperated sigh, Apolline finally suggested "Napoleon." Benneit then realized that the woman he married had terrible taste in names, for  Loup-Baptiste was also in the running. He refused to call his son "Wolfy McBaptist." And that wasn't even the worst of her suggestions: Désiré, Launcelot (Not Lancelot, Launcelot) were also contenders. He nearly had a breakdown when Apolline, with a completely serious face decided that Briefbras was sensible. For not the first time in his life, his family turned on him and enabled his wife. After two days of bickering, they settled on naming him Alistair Napoleon Spectre. Even if Napoleon was a tiny little dictator, it was better than Briefbras. Anything was better than Briefbras.

His father runs the Spectre Hippogriff farm, his mother grooms and shows only the best bred hippogriffs.  A healthy, large, and vocal baby, his parents expected him to be tall when he got older. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. When he was two years old, his little sister, Isla was born. While his mother tried her best to teach them both French, Isla either didn't have an interest in it from a young age, or simply couldn't remember. Unlike his sister, he is able to converse with their mother in, admittedly, halting French.

His home was almost like a zoo growing up-- with all sorts of different animals coming in.  He was an active child, high energy and always running around. Now that he is older, his energy is able to be focused a bit more on school or playing quidditch with his friends. When he was finally old enough to go to Hogwarts, he was half expecting to be placed into Hufflepuff, like many of the other Spectres. Or maybe Gryffindor, like his father. However, the hat sorted him into Slytherin. Between his housemates Esther Morrell and Bastian Desrosiers, he was never bored. The latter due to his inherent ridiculousness and way for words, the former due to her terminal Esther-ness. He has been heard referring to Esther as, "Like cancer, but better." He assures everybody that it's a good thing. He is also fond of the little blondie, Ettie Grimstone.

On his 15th birthday, he received an owl of his own. He named it Owl Pacino, thanks to Bastian's Godfatherly influence. Sometimes, just to creep Bastian out, he puts a plush horse head in Bastian's bed. It's significantly less bloody and gruesome than an actual horse head.

As a student, he is competitive and strives to be the best, despite not being the smartest in his year. He may not always focus in class, but his work is usually acceptable. Unless overwhelmed, his homework is usually turned in early rather than on time. There have been very few moments where he has turned in an assignment late, and he felt horrible because of it. His parents never pressured him to have great grades, but he puts the pressure on himself and is disappointed when he receives anything less than an "E." His mother is proud of her studious son, but Benneit wishes that he wasn't so hard on himself.

Sum up your character in one paragraph:
Alistair is a cheerful,  gassy-baby-faced Spectre with a boxy head and a merciless sense of humor. Usually relaxed and cooltempered, he is easy to get along with. Unless you get on his hit list. Don't do that. Unless you want to. What? Why are you looking at me like that? FINE. COME AT ME BRO.
