Simon Chevalier was a Ravenclaw Student.

Simon is a Muggle-Born with a thirst to learn and make a place in the Wizarding World. He is a Fifth Year Ravenclaw student who loves all things involving Nature. He seems to have a Rare Ability to pick up languages and modes of communication very easily. As such, he can 'speak' to animals.

Physical Description

• Estimated Height/Weight: 6'2", 225 lbs
• Hair color: Brown
• Eye color: Grey-blue, yellow around the pupil. Wears rectangular black glasses

First Impression: He is a kind, outgoing person. People love to talk to him and he loves to meet new people Any odd/outstanding features?: A scar on his right hand from being bitten by an alligator in his youth (not very big but noticable as the scar doesn't tan)

Simon walks with a sturdy step. His voice is deep (not overly so) and he speaks the typical speed of a native speaker speaking one of the many languages he knows (will be fleshed out in Special Abilities application).

Personality Description

Simon Chevalier is an intelligent, witty, creative, kind, and caring person. He is a very chill person who will try all attempts for a peaceful settlement. Despite this, however, he loves to help others and will always stand up for others. Due to this, some people feel that he can be a bit nosy. He is also strongly opinionated.

Simon absolutely loves the outdoors and Nature. If he could he would choose to live outside. He also has a certain connection with animals - he seems to understand them and can communicate with them (Special Ability application will flesh this out more). Simon loves to read as well, and can usually be found either outside looking for some Magical animal, or inside in the library. As such, Simon loves Hogwarts as it provides him a place to learn about the world he never knew about until he was 11.

He thinks very logically, but is able to come up with creative solutions as well.

Simon always treats people with kindness and respect until they do something wrong in his eyes. He would rather stop speaking to a person than let any disagreement escalate to a fight. Because of his desire to give everyone respect and his belief in non-violence, some people think he's "too good to be genuine". Some also feel that he tries to hard to be friends with everyone, which can lead to more conflict.

History

Simon was born on October 4th. 1992, in Dover, England, to two Muggle parents, Jacques and Sofia Chevalier. His father is from France while his mother is from England. His parents had always wanted a child so he was received with delight and a loving home life. Simon grew up bilingual, which only helped his Rare Ability to not only pick up on the 'languages' of animals but also real life human languages.

He was taught the values of good work ethic, fairness, tolerance, and being an all around good person. His family is quite wealthy (his father is a doctor and his mother is an artist). He doesn't have any siblings, but has several extremely close childhood friends.

Simon loves school. He was a quick learner with nearly everything. He is particularly gifted with learning new languages and communicating with animals. He enjoyed drawing, camping, reading, and playing with friends. Being a Muggle-Born, Simon had no idea Hogwarts even existed. His whole family, including himself, were extremely excited to have been blessed with such a gift. He does well in all of his classes, but his favorite and best subjects are Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, and Ancient Runes.

His love of animals comes from his home life. Ever since he was born he's been surrounded by animals - at his own home he owns two cats and a dog, while one of his maternal uncles owns a farm. As a child he would read books about many different types of animals and be fascinated by them. His favorite thing about being a wizard is not necessarily the fact that he can do magic, but the fact that he has literally millions of new magical species to learn about.
