Nervous and shut in Hufflepuff from a "real workers" muggle family who went on a grand tour for a year to find himself. Wants to start things over like he is a new person, but is otherwise unsure on what he wants in life or anything about himself which is resulting in an internal conflict over what he wants or how he identifies, but knows that being seen as anything but a boy makes him happy and comfortable.
Physical Description
Sam possess a more feminine over masculine build, and his dress style leans heavily into a tomboyish appearance that emphasises this further
From feet to top of his head, he stands about 5ft 6. With his hair, originally cream blond but cut fairly short, he’s since changed it to a midnight blue and has let it grow out down to his ears. He does however keep his blue eyes clear from the hair.
Usually he likes to go about in large clothing, a size too big for him so he has the extra room and comfort inside the clothing, and to hide his shape from. Taking to large hoodies in dullish colours, sticking to grey or deep blue half the time. Its not that he doesn’t like colours, just he prefers to hide and not stick out. Even when he does wear clothes to stick out he prefers to take ones that better blend in, going for bright, but still muted colours, preferring blues, pinks and purples, over traditionally brighter colours.
Either due to what he use to wash their clothing or shower with, he always smell at least faintly of apples.
Personality Description
Sam tends to be rather shy and closed off, Often ending up by himself instead of spending time with others, it was not that he was unlikeable, he is often soft spoken and nervous when in a conversation. This isn’t to say he is always like this, it takes time for him to gain confidence with people but he will often break contact with that person before reaching that point, believing himself to be dragging the person down and shutting himself off from them. Often staying in contact but killing most chances at friendship.
With his Grand Tour he has become somewhat more confident in himself, now starting conversations, and coming somewhat more to terms with himself, feeling uncomfortable with himself he met others who helped somewhat, making him more comfortable with the more androgynous or feminine he appeared. He feels more confident and happier when appearing feminine. Although he doesn’t know why, and is still very insecure with himself, he knows it makes him happy and believes that once he is happier, then he can figure himself out properly.
History
Sam was born to a working muggle family, his father is a builder while his mother is a cook. Both believe you won’t go anywhere or achieve anything if you don’t do hard work, As Sam grew up in school, his father kept talking about how he didn’t need to know half the subjects, all he needed was to learn a trade and he would be set for life doing a “real man's job.”
He learned to keep to himself around his father, whenever he opened up with problems he would be berated for being weak. His mother was more sympathetic but always busy or too tired from long working hours. Meaning he couldn’t rely on her often to be there.
When he received his letter for Hogwarts, he was almost unable to go due to his father refusing to allow him to attend some make believe nonsense that would only make him softer. However eventually he managed to convince his mother to let him go. This followed through the years with the mother taking him off while his father refused to even acknowledge anything of the school.
When he went to Hogwarts, he was sorted into Hufflepuff. Feeling like he didn’t belong he stayed silent by himself, making only a couple of friends who he would be with, but always feeling like he was a weight on them, that they had to leave other friends spend time with him. He never exactly excelled in class, if he pushed himself he could do well but he was never confident enough in himself to do so.
He became more reclusive and shut himself off from others during his 6th year, after he attempted to confess to another student, he turned down Sam and further on mocked him. Causing Sam to close up almost completely from people. In doing so however he did assert himself more to studies, receiving an Exceeds Expectations in Transfiguration and CoMC, with passes on DaDA, Charms and Potions in his NEWTS.
Once returned home, his parents pushed immediately for him to “leave that make believe world” to learn a trade and become a hard worker like his father. After multiple arguments with his parents that he wouldn’t give up the magical world. He ran, going on a Grand Tour to find himself and what to now do he was out of Hogwarts.
Over his year abroad he tried to become more accustomed with himself and to open up more, finding ways to be happy and things he liked. Taking the odd job as he wandered the world he eventually started to run out of money, causing him to return, however still unsure what he wants to do with his life, he figured he could move back, and hopefully no one remembered him. Allowing him to start a new life as if he never existed.
Now in London again, he has rented the cheapest living arrangements possible for himself, now hunting for any sort of work he can to get off the small amount of money his mother, although disapproving of his choice to stay in the wizarding world, is sending him to ensure he is able to eat something. With no real plan, he figures if he can get work he can find out what he wants to be.
