Name: Sean Gorden Ferris
Age: 16 Turns 17 soon.
Year in Salem: Junior
Gender:Male
Birthday/Sign:August 5th, 1980/ Leo
Blood Type/Purity: O, Muggleborn
Family Members:Robert Ferris (Father), Mia Summerquist(mother), Doug Sheilds (Step-dad), Haley Sheilds (Step-sister) and Sarah Sheilds (Half-sister)
Appearance:
Sean is tall, about 6 feet. He is lean and muscular, with very little body fat. He has a young looking face and since he smiles a lot, he tends to be seen as younger then he is. His eyes are a bright green and his hair is brown. It is longish and parts in the middle, falling into his eyes a lot. He likes to run his hands through it when nervous.
Personality:
True to his zodiac sign, Sean is a lion of a boy. On the good side, he is fun loving, laid back, kind hearted and outgoing. He tends to flirt and tease a lot, but in all good fun and never meant to really harm anyone. Making enemies is not something he sets out to do, although his attitude often makes it inevitable. he generally makes friends easily and will always stick up for the underdog. Mentally, Sean is philosophical in thought and fun in nature. He simply likes to play. But at the same time, he also likes to win, making him almost frighteningly competitive. With girls, he is all smiles and charming words. He is very open and trusting and will love a girl with his whole heart if she manages to capture and keep his attention. He is very kind to children and animals, and would never hurt them or a woman, no matter how angry he was. All in all, he is a normal guy. A fiercely competitive Quidditch player, philosophical but not a particularly good student, and a flirt.
On the bad side, Sean can take his competitiveness and self confidence to a whole other level. He tends to be very domineering and likes to be in charge of things, if only to keep things running smoothly. When he teases, he often unknowingly inserts arrogance in there, which often earns him more enemies then he tries to make. In relationships, Sean is trusting, but will become almost violently jealous if another guy tries to take his girl (Not violent against the girl however). He also is such an incurable flirt that, even though he won't let her flirt, he will often find himself looking at other girls while with someone. The worst quality of Sean is that, even though he is all smiles most of the time, he has a quick fuse that is pretty easy to light. Having been a boxer since he was 6, Sean will quickly forget his wand and resort to muggle fist fighting when confronted.
History:
Sean Gordon Ferris was born on August 5th, 1985 to the then barely 19 year old Mia and 23 year old Robert Ferris in Souix Falls South Dakota. He lived a modest and fairly normal life on his families large ranch. He grew up a capable and strong boy who loved to be outdoors and around animals. His mother instilled in him the love of plants and nature, where as his father instilled a love of hard work and sports.His father hated Sean's love of gardening and horseriding that he did with his mother, he felt that this made him look like he was 'sensitive'. In efforts to 'toughen' Sean up. Robert started to teach him how to box at 6 and how to hunt at 8, so Sean is very handy with unarmed and armed muggle combat.
When Sean was 8, he started to notice a big shift in the moods. Not only was the growing rift between his parents wider, but his mother seemed strangely happy and secretive. The announcement that she was pregnant brought the news to the front. Sean personally was excited for a baby brother or sister, but his father strangely was not. When Sarah was born 9 months later, Sean found out why his father had been so cold about the whole thing. Robert suspected that Mia was cheating on him with a local restaurant owner and supposed family friend, Doug Shields. When the paternity test he got on Sarah came back, it was proven to be the case. Robert immediately asked for a divorce from Mia, who was more then willing to give it to him, except for one little hitch. Sean. Sean was always closer to his mother and wanted to be with her, but his father managed to convince the judge that he should have full custody due to Mia's 'dysfunctional' upbringing, only allowing her a few weeks or so a year to see Sean. Robert then carted Sean off to England.
His father almost immediately enrolled Sean in Fort Cunnighams Military Academy, a prestigious and strict Military academy he himself had attended as a boy. As a boy who hated seeing others treated badly, Sean often stuck up for the underdog to larger students. Unfortunately, as the bullies were all sons of prestigious army men, the school would blame him and tell his father that he was causing trouble. Although Robert was glad to see his son had toughened up, he considered this insubordination on his sons part something to be weeded out. When home, Sean received very little normal affection and was often required to do horrific training regimens that left him physically and mentally exhausted. It was around this time that his power manifested and Sean was so weak from his fathers 'training' that he could control them even less then normal wizards could. When he nearly killed another student who had bullied him in a blind rage and a burst of magic, Sean was kicked out of school.
When Sean turned 11 later that summer, He received his Hogwarts letters. Robert was horrified to learn that his son was a 'Freak'. He refused to allow Sean to even step foot into Hogwarts and pretty much kept him under house arrest for a whole year. It wasn't until a trip to his mothers, required in the divorce contract, that his mother discovered what was going on. Horrified, she took Robert to court and after 3 months of bitter battles, managed to get sole custody of Sean. Sean was scared at first, but his step father was a wonderful father who treated Sean like a real son and he loved his little half sister Sarah. The only one he didn't like was his new step-sister Haley, who was stuck up and treated Sarah like crap. Thankfully she was not around except for a few weeks at Christmas and a month in the summer. At age 12, Sean was finally enrolled in a Coven school, as his mother seemed to be far more understanding of her sons abilities, if not proud of them. Although Sean enjoyed being a wizard, he was not very good at it, excelling in herbology and Magizoology, but doing poorly in wandwork. He longed to simply give up magic and live as a muggle when he discovered the world of Dragons in his last year in coven school. It was the dream to someday train them that pushed Sean to take the SMART. He passed with decent enough grades to get in Cliodne and has enjoyed the three years there.
The attacks in 1996 were a painful blow for Sean. He had been a pretty good friend of Cliffords, and harbored a not so secret crush on Samantha, so their kidnapping and subsequent hospitalization depressed him deeply. He still returned to Salems the next year, if only to prove that he could not be beaten by fear. So he is planning on working hard to excel this year and make up for the bad grades he had gotten the years before. He also hopes to reprise his role as Quidditch chaser for the Cliodne JV team and maybe even land a spot on the Varsity team next year.
