Hmm, how to sum up Brennan? Though he came from an abusive childhood, he overcame his adversities. Though, as he came out as the better person, he did tend to get some over-confident attitudes. But still, Brennan is a sweet guy when he wants to be, and likes to be social and happy most of the time. Just don't say the wrong thing, or you may have a wand at your nose... or lack of nose.
Physical Description
In appearance, Brennan isn't the tallest of boys, though he isn't the shortest. He stands around 5' 9" and is very proud of his height. He has medium brown hair with a hint of blonde and auburn occasionally, and his eyes are mostly hazel. In build, he is a muscular boy, working on his tone and body to keep himself healthy and fit, and always a quick hand for a duel. When not in uniform, he tends to wear tight shirts or comfortable clothing, including sweatpants and athletic shorts.
Personality Description
It's never fun to start with the bad, but Brennan needs to be built up. So to start, he is rather hot-headed and temperamental. His fuse is short and he'll tend to talk himself up and threaten those who oppose him. He has a small vendetta against the Slytherins, even though that war was fought before he came to Hogwarts. So if a Slytherin, or even any one else, challenge him, he'll have a go at it with full force.
As well as being hot-headed, he is overly confident and arrogant. Sometimes he brags about his dueling abilities and how he is a quick hand. As well as those few traits, he likes to show off his quidditch skills, being a short and athletic person, because he tends to know the game well. It can probably get on people's nerves, but he doesn't care, and that is probably one of his better qualities.
He doesn't care what people think about him. Through thick and thin, he's endured multiple harassments from different people, and that is why he doesn't care any more. He just lets it run off his shoulders, and he'll point a wand and cast a silencing spell. As well as not caring, he flirts a lot, too. He is kind of ambiguous with who he flirts with, be in male or female.
He is still searching for himself in a relationship scenario, and doesn't know what he wants, so he keeps his options open.
History
On a hot summer day in June, the fourth to be exact, in 1991, Rachel Eaton and Simon Girard welcomed their son, Brennan Edward Girard, into the world. Rachel, who previously worked in the Ministry, took time off to take care of her newborn son, while Simon, a French wizard, brought in the salary by working in Gringott's under goblin supervision. However, his parents were never married and never got married. It was a live-in situation, both his acting parents, but not acting spouses.
As he grew up, Simon taught Brennan how to speak French starting at a young age. However, every time Brennan would get anything wrong, Simon would shoot a spell near Brennan, scaring him to get the answers right. As he grew up and got something wrong, Simon would inch his wand closer. Eventually, Brennan got scared for his life. At the age of seven, he ran off from home because Simon started threatening him, and his mother didn't do anything about it.
He found refuge in his maternal grandparent's home for a few months before Rachel decided to leave Simon and get a job. He moved back in with his mother, and never saw Simon again. However, he never called Simon his father and to this day still refuses to call Rachel his mother or mom. Instead he uses her real name, and treats her as a sister rather than a mother.
At the age of eleven, he was selected to attend Hogwarts. It was there he was sorted into Gryffindor, probably because he braved the odds against an abusive father. Even though his father scared it into him, Brennan can speak fluent French, and generally when he is angry, starts spouting off in French.
His first year at Hogwarts was interesting, as he made friends and enemies. He took an initial dislike to the Slytherins, and still does dislike most Slytherin students. In classes, he isn't the most studious or brightest, but he can conjure a pretty wicked defensive curse or charm. Other than Defense Against the Dark Arts, though, he only ever like Divination. It was an odd class to like, but he found refuge in his soul and mind, and liked the way the class was taught.
By his third year, he was picked to be on the quidditch team, a goal he found to be most impressive. The captain chose him as the seeker, because he was muscular, and he was short and swift, and could move quickly on a broom. He continues in quidditch now towards the end of his sixth year, still in the position of seeker. Other than quidditch and DADA, (and Divination), Hogwarts hasn't offered much to him, except his favorite wizarding event - dueling.
When it comes to dueling, Bren started at a young age, often repeating spells he heard Simon use to punish Rachel, the same he would scare Brennan, when she was 'out-of-line'. He used them on Simon once or twice, stealing Rachel's wand from her room andscaring Simon back, only to have it backfire on him when Simon caught him. But he started young, and is now a prodigy of dueling.
He is currently finishing up his sixth year at Hogwarts, ready to go into his seventh year and graduate to become something with character, whether that be auror, quidditch player, or master dueler. He lives with his mother, Rachel, and his maternal grandparents, Maggie and Edward, when he isn't at Hogwarts.
How Do You Fit Into Your House?
Brennan is a very courageous, young lad. He loves to put myself out there and challenge those who think he can't do anything he sets his mind or body to. When it comes to those who can't fend for themselves, he'll stand up for them, fight for their right to get their voice heard. In ways that may stereotypical of a Gryffindor, he tends to get hot-headed and arrogant. And can, well, kind of be a show-off.
