• NATHANIEL BENCI VENUSIA •
You have set your heart
On haunting me forever
From the start
It's never silent

Ever since we met
I only shoot up with your perfume
It's the only thing
That makes me feel as good as you do
Ever since we met
I've got just one regret to live through
And that one regret is you

general appearance Nathaniel is a rather handsome boy, standing at five feet ten inches he radiates a feeling of calm and ease. His pale skin deeply contrasts against his messy dark hair, which hangs low in his darkly framed chocolate orbs. His eyelashes are a bit long, making his eyes appear wider and more girlish. His thin pale lips are usually upturned in a small smile and his calm gaze peers into others. His body is somewhat lanky but toned at the same time, his stomach flat with not much extra fat on his body. He likes to wear dressy clothes, thinking they make him seem more sophisticated than normal clothes do.

overall personality, Nathaniel has two types of personalities, one that’s the good in him, and one that’s the bad in him. The good parts of him tend to outweigh the bad. Nathaniel is a very observant person who likes to analyze people, and by this he finds he can respond to people appropriately to them in any given situation, and prides himself in his ability to analyze people. Depending on facial expressions and body language he deciphers his mode of action regarding people and can typically decide if they’re safe to flirt with or not. One of his passions is music and his remarkable ability to play the violin elegantly proves this, and he often uses his instrument as a means of meeting new people and making friends. He’s not a particularly violent person and abhors blood and watching people fight. He often used his violin to break up fights and soothed others in heated arguments. He’s known to be a bit of a peer mediator and helps resolve issues that become irritated. He’s a very calm person and never really gets upset about anything, but is quick to defend his friends in a bad situation. Nathaniel is a very sweet and adoring boy, especially if the relationship sparks and takes off.

Now, for the bad. Nathaniel tends to space out at odd times, and when he does he submerges himself in bad memories. Since he typically is a very quiet person this is where the timid nature plays out, with his thoughts surrounded by bad memories and his paranoia taking control and limiting him. He’s afraid of flying and doing things that may seem particularly dangerous, though if his adrenaline is pumping he is a lot more reckless and doesn’t think about his actions. Since he is Bisexual this makes him very self conscious about himself and he makes sure to keep himself in line, if he subtlety flirts and finds the subject he’s after uninterested he drops the subject immediately and gives up on the chase, not wanting to offend the other person. He gets annoyed easily at the assumption that since he’s a Huffelpuff he’s basically useless, and loves to prove others wrong in any way he can. He isn’t afraid to defend himself against a Slytherin, but gets light headed if the minor disturbance turns into a full fight. Blood is his major weakness, he grows faint at the sight of it and horrible memories surface at the smell.

overall history,

Nathaniel was born to a young single mother in a small town in Ireland, free as a bird but heavily sheltered by the caring woman. He was born in the chill of November, and as he grew he was a very loyal child, always staying indoors to care for his mother who was often very sick. He was often quiet, a bit sick himself, and the family quietly got by in a small cottage. His mother was always very sorry for not being able to give him the life she wanted for him, and he always replied that he was content as long as she was feeling better. At the age of 7 his mother arranged for him to begin learning the violin, noticing how when he ran to the market he’d end up in the pub watching the men play the fiddle and the violin on stage as entertainers. He was fascinated by the coordination and rhythm of the strings and the sounds that erupted from the wooden instrument. He took amazingly to the violin and by the age of 9 surpassed his mentor, who proclaimed him a musical protégé. He began making small amounts of money by playing in the street and the pubs to help his mother around the house, and was very happy with his life.

Beyond the rolling green hills and the fairy tales that kept children in their beds at night was a lot of truth. Bravery took over at 10 and Nathaniel often wandered off by himself, causing his mother to go out looking for him. And this is where it gets sad, and scary. You’ve heard the story of Jenny Greenteeth yes? The woman in the water who drags children and women into the depths and drowns them. Well, she’s real. Nathaniel was playing at the banks of a river when his mother came up behind him to tell him to come home. Jenny saw her chance and leapt. Seeing her, his mother shoved him out of the way and took the majority of her tearing claws. That day, June 14, Nathaniel saw his mother ripped to shreds and dragged to the bottom of the river screaming. He returned home and sat in the kitchen all night long, and sat there until a neighbor came to check on him and heard the story. Rather than shipping the boy off the people of the town took him in and helped him, giving him bits of money and food to help him survive.

Well, the shock of his life came at 11 when he received his Hogwarts letter and found out he was a half blooded wizard. At first not believing the letter he threw it away, until a witch living in the town found it and went to Nathaniel, and helped him understand. She helped him buy his supplies and get his wand, preparing him for the magical world ahead of them. Upon arriving quietly at the school he was sorted into Hufflepuff and coasted through the school, spending as much time there as possible before he was forced to leave the vicinity for summer vacation. He’s managed to make a few good friends but still tends to stay off to the side in fear of bothering people, but the great atmosphere of the school has greatly helped him come out of his shell a bit.

Nathaniel gazed out of the train at the passing scenery. He was 11, and this had been a huge deal to him when he’d gotten his letter. At first, he scoffed at the idea. Someone pulling a prank on him, not a very nice one but a joke nonetheless. He sighed remembering the kindly older woman who pulled him aside and helped him understand. It wasn’t a joke, he had magic blood in his veins and a lot to prepare himself for, and she was more than glad to help him. She’d taken him to Diagon Alley via the floo network, it had been an amazing experience for the boy and he’d enjoyed the entire trip, fitting for robes, getting his books, and acquiring his beloved cat Miesha. The fluffy kitten was adorable, incredibly curious and crawling everywhere. Petting the tiny creature curled up on his lap Nathaniel gazed around the train into the other compartments, quietly looking at the other passengers that idly chatted with each other, all eager to get sorted, all eager to get to the school they’d heard so much about. But him? He sat alone, surely by choice, the fear of getting too close to someone else so soon after his mother’s death…so heartbreaking.

Sighing to himself he opened the book that had caught his eye the most, potions. The similarities to chemistry and such made his mind whirl, and all the possible concoctions made his lips twitch happily. So soon he’d found out he’d need schooling for 7 years of his life then he’d get a career in the wizarding world. Already he imagined the possibilities, and believe me they were vast in his tiny mind. He tried to push these thoughts away. Closing his eyes his head leaned back to gently touch the headrest of his seat, Miesha purred quietly against his fingers. He was tired, physically. Yawning to himself he stood, disrupting the kitten as she jumped from her perch onto the moving floor, and proceeded to slip about. A cart came by and knocked, the woman smiled kindly at him. “Candy?” Staring at the sweets that lined the cart Nathaniel dug in his pocket for money, the strange currency alien beneath his finger tips. His face flushed as she patiently smiled at him, he murmured a few things and exchanged money for food. She thanked him and left, and the door closed quietly before he collapsed into his seat sighing. “Everything is so…different..” He murmured with a furrowed brow while teasing Miesha with his fingertips. The cat purred and meowed in response, tilting her head as though she understood.
