    Physical Description:

    Peyton has a tall and lean build. He sprouted up at an early age and has slowly been working towards bulking up his body. Being a Quidditch Player he's naturally athletic and has used the sport as a way to keep his body in shape and build it towards his ultimate goal of peak fitness. With a charming smile Peyton is often perceived as attractive, handsome, easy on the eyes. He prefers to keep his dark brown hair cut short to make it easier to manage while playing. The last thing he'd want, would be to lose a match because his hair got in the way. His cool blue grey eyes are his only feature that connect him to his father and the extended bloodline he comes from.

    Peyton doesn't pay too much attention to his outward appearance. He's clean and has a good sense of hygiene but when it comes to fashion he's a disaster usually sticking to wearing whatever's clean. He enjoyed the fact that there was an enforced dress code at Hogwarts. Looking like everyone else helped keep him from making a fool out of himself by wearing last years fashions. It's another reason why he prefers to keep his hair short, it's easier to maintain and a lot harder to screw up. Now as an adult, whenever he's not in uniform for games Peyton tends towards muggle fashion with a pair of jeans and whatever shirt he can find.

    (Optional list)
    Build/Body type: Tall, lean and muscular
    Estimated Height/Weight: 6' 200lbs
    Hair color: Dark Brown
    Eye color: Cool Blue Grey
    Skin color: Slightly darker than pale not quite olive.
    First Impression: Based off of looks alone Peyton comes across as your typical jock however when he smiles he comes across more charming than he does at just a casual glance. He has a strong sense about him but doesn't come off as intimidating.
    Any odd/outstanding features?: Peyton's most outstanding features are his eyes. The cool grey blue hues were inherited by his father and often draw people's attentions. On such a sweet and charming face it's often hard for people to figure out why they have seen those eyes before, thankfully no one seemed able to make the connection that Peyton has the same eyes as his half brother.

    Personality Description:

    Peyton is sweet and charming and caring and unlike his brother completely genuine about all of it. Peyton is always willing to help someone out if they are in need no matter who they are. Peyton's willing to make friends despite social standings. He doesn't feel it's necessary to let things like being in different houses keep you from being friends with someone nor should it keep you from disliking someone who deserves it. Peyton's very honest about his opinion of others. If he thinks someone's being a jerk he's not above calling them on it and enjoys telling people when they're being absolutely fabulous. Peyton treasures his friendships above most things in life (except Quidditch) and will often do what he can to keep and strengthen said friendships. However if a friendship has run it's natural course and finds itself at an end Peyton accepts it and moves on, treasuring the time they had together and not dwelling on why it ended.

    Peyton is obsessed with Quidditch, so much so that he often let his grades drop. He found himself distracted in class and always put in an extra practice over finishing his homework. He didn't fail any classes but his low grades kept him from playing Quidditch more than once. Peyton likes creating new strategies and moves for the game even if he doesn't always get to play them out. He was often times found sketching out new plays for the game rather than doing his work in class. He had been warned numerous times in the past that he needed to pick up his grades, and stop focusing on Quidditch so much. His teachers kept telling him that they know he has the potential to do great in class he just needs to try and focus harder. Thankfully though he secured a Professional contract right out of Hogwarts, finding a career that wasn't dependent on how many NEWTs he scored.

    By the time he was sixteen Peyton's lack of interest in girls was becoming noticeable. He found them attractive but he felt no need to date or pair himself off with anyone. He felt he had more important things to worry about and preferred to just hang out with his friends in his spare time instead of chasing after some girl. He figured he'd have plenty of time when he's older and a professional Quidditch player to find someone to spend his life with. Much of that changed and was put into perspective during the Valentine's Day Ball in his fifth year. A scamp of a Hufflepuff helped Peyton discover himself and while he never made a big deal able coming out it was soon known that the Star Quidditch Player was gay. Peyton had a few fleeting Romances over the next two years but nothing compared with the blossoming relationship he currently shares with former Gryffindor Nicholas Bevans.


    History:

    The Secret Life of Henry Wentworth

    During his fifth year at Hogwarts Henry Wentworth took a liking to a rebellious little Slytherin named Athalia Tawse. He liked her fighting spirit and found himself taken with her views on life. She wasn't a traditionalist like his father though he didn't see her for an extremist like her brother. She had somehow fallen in the middle. However she was quite a ways younger than him. The pair spent time together but nothing really came of it given their age difference.

    Although he only felt like his true self while he was at school he humored his father by attending business meetings while on his holidays. He was to be given one of the company's many shops to manage once he had graduated and his father felt it pertinent that he knew how to run the business. During one such trip while on Winter Holidays in his final year, Henry met a young muggle girl named Angelina.

    The two hit it off. She was beautiful and kind and everything Athalia wasn't. Henry found her refreshing and surprisingly freeing. Everyone back home had been going on and on about the famous Harry Potter finally coming back to the wizarding world. Henry was happy to finally talk to someone who had no idea who he was. The two had become closer than Henry had ever been with anyone else but their romance was short lived and by the time he had returned to school he had forgotten all about it. After all it had only been a fling and with a muggle no less.

    After Henry came back from Holidays Athalia made her feelings known. He had always been intrigued by the younger girl but never thought of her romantically. He didn't outright reject her affections but he didn't exactly think she was old enough for him. He was graduating and she was only finishing her fourth year at Hogwarts. Without his knowledge though, Athalia told her friends that they had become a couple. After Henry graduated he spent most of his Summer with the girl and the two had become physical. Something Henry soon regretted. As Athalia went back to school, he called things off.

    As promised Henry was given control over his own shop, selling magical pets to happy customers and for a while he was happy. No longer under his father's constant gaze he was able to do things his own way and he flourished. However Henry's life was turned upside down September 1992 when he was tracked down by Angelina McCormick, the girl he had a fling with during his Winter holidays. She had only been visiting family when they met in Australia and actually lived in London. However given the fact that Henry was a Pureblood Wizard he wasn't exactly in the directory. He had been ready to dismiss the girl when she dropped a bomb on him. The baby she had brought with her was his son.

    Despite his love for his son he knew his family would never approve. Things got complicated and his fate was chosen for him when it was discovered that Athalia was pregnant as well. With no knowledge of his first son his father arranged his marriage, despite Athalia still being in Hogwarts. The birth of his second son, much like his first, was covered up until Athalia had graduated and the pair were publicly married. He never told his wife about his son nor did he tell Angelina about his other family.
     
    Torn between two women that he loved very much Henry lived a double life living with his wife while still stealing away to see Angie. He started to spend more and more time with Angie and Peyton excusing his absences yet again with working for his father. Athalia and Xavier were well taken care of since Athalia was a pureblood witch. Eventually Henry's father learned about Angie and the boy but vowed to keep Henry's secret seeing it as a blight upon the family name anyway - so long as Henry played his part of the loving husband to Athalia.

    By the time his second son was seven Henry could no longer stand his double life and knew he had to make a choice, he had to decide which family to leave behind. He had been debating it for a long while until one day he made his decision and just walked out of work. He had had enough of his wizarding life. Enough of being bossed around by his purist father and feared what would become of his pureblood son who was being taught by his crazy purist great aunt. One day during work he just up and left returning to Angie and Peyton and continued on his life with them, forsaking his former life and never looking back.

    Peyton's Story

    Peyton grew up in a very loving and warm family. His mother was fascinated by the whole concept of the wizarding world and so from a very young age Peyton was taught about his heritage. He saw his father every so often but with a large house, their own house elf and a few other servants Peyton's mother never struggling as a single mom. She was able to focus on raising him and not having to worry about anything getting done. She was supplied by Henry's vast wealth and was able to give her son everything he wanted. Peyton's muggle grandparents were even active in his life although they weren't aware of his wizarding heritage, they just believed Angie had married a very wealthy and respectable man.

    Peyton learned to ride a broom at a young age and with living out in the country had no problems zooming around their property. It was often a struggle to get him to come inside. Rain or shine Peyton would be out on that broom. Even his tutors had a hard time getting him off the broom to do his work. Courtesy of Henry Peyton was given both a wizarding tutor and a muggle tutor. Since his muggle tutor was actually a muggle Peyton was forbidden from riding his broom before his lessons with her.

    Peyton saw his father on a reasonably regular basis and understood that he was a very important man and couldn't always be around. He knew his father loved him and never thought it was weird that he didn't live with them. When he was eight years old Peyton's Dad came home to stay. He didn't work nearly as much and the two instantly bonded. Peyton couldn't have been happier having his father with him.

    By the time he was old enough to go to Hogwarts he had already learned a few cool things from his dad but bought all his school supplies with his mother. His father had explained that he had some important business to attend to and wasn't able to get back in time. Peyton had a hard time sleeping the whole week before school started and when he finally arrived he was sorted into Ravenclaw.

    As the years went by in school Peyton proved himself to be a swell guy, making plenty of friends across the years and houses. He thought it was silly to avoid genuinely nice people just because they were in a different house. Since his second year Peyton's had a fairly regular spot upon the Ravenclaw Quidditch team although practices and what not have often come between him and his school work. Peyton's received several warnings about focusing more on his work and less on Quidditch.

    Although Peyton has tried to make friends with as many people as possible, there had been one since the start of school that he constantly butted heads with, Xavier Tawse of Slytherin. The fake charm and suave weren't enough to fool Peyton and he often called the younger man out on it. He thought the guy was despicable and a complete fake and although he believed not all Slytherins were evil Tawse certainly was. The rivalry between the two often came to blows as they rarely chose to use magic on each other. Whenever possible it extended to the Quidditch Pitch as well. It wasn't until their fifth year that it came to a head. During Christmas Holidays Peyton discovered that the Slytherin was actually his younger half brother and that he was responsible for the anger that raged inside him. Unbeknownst to him, his father had left Xavier and his mother because he simply loved Peyton more.

    For months Peyton wrestled with the revelation, his relationship with his father - a man he used to idolize - was fractured. He had promised not to tell his sister or his mother about it but couldn't bring himself to talk with his father either. Back at school he watched his brother spiral into a dangerous depression and tried to reach out to him but it was no use. At one point Xavier disappeared and for the first time in his life Peyton met his Grandfather. He was surprised to discover that Arathorn knew all about him, his sister and the soap opera of a life his father had been living. When he couldn't provide any intel on where his half brother had gone Arathorn left, once again cutting off contact. However Peyton gained a surprising new ally. Berkeley Cavanaugh contacted him about the incident with his father during the Christmas Holidays and informed him that their mutual Grandfather had asked her to keep an eye on him.

    During the Valentine's Day Ball that year Peyton discovered his sexuality and while he never officially came out of the closet began to openly date other guys. He had a few romances outside the school, not really connecting with any other students in his own year, at least not romantically. The rift between him and his father became obvious to his family. His mother didn't question him about his but he would discover later that his sister believed the rift was in regards to whom his chose to date, unaware of what had really happened.

    In his final years at Hogwarts Peyton managed to keep his grades afloat while becoming the Captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. During the summers and holidays he stayed with Berkeley, becoming close with his Auror cousin and secured an internship as a sports correspondent for the local wireless station. It wasn't until his Seventh year, when things were looking for him that things seemed to spin out of control. The death of his Grandfather was closely followed by the return of his Father to wizarding society. The tabloids had a field day with the scandal - Pureblood Son returns from the dead with Muggle Mistress! - and Peyton and his sister were thrust into the spotlight. Thankfully though Peyton managed to start on the road of reconciliation with Xavier (with whom his rivalry had simmered down to becoming almost non existent by their Seventh Year)

    Most recently Peyton was offered a spot on the Tutshill Tornadoes and is living in Diagon with his cousins Berkeley and Briar Cavanaugh. 

    How Do You Fit Into Your House?: Peyton fits just as well in his house as he does with his entire year. Most of the other Ravenclaws view him as a good friend and a swell guy to have along, he might not be the best in his classes but he's done them all proud on the Quidditch pitch and they seem to be proud to call him a Ravenclaw.

    Sum up your character in one paragraph: Peyton is the kind of guy you want to be your friend. He's kind gentle charming and sometimes funny. He's a strong loyal friend who isn't afraid to tell people what he thinks of them. He feels everyone has a chance to be his friend but won't push the matter on someone who doesn't want it. He's a strong and devoted Quidditch player on a path to professional play. The only problem is it often consumes him to the point where he forgets to do nearly anything else.
