Name: Gawain Cyndwrig (Anglicized as "Gavin Kendrick") (He's Welsh - )
    Nicknames: Butterfly Boy (Tulia), Kid (Lukas/Angel)), Bookworm (Lukas), Shorty (Oddie)

Age: 15
Year: Fourth Year
    Birthdate: March 15
    Height: 5' 5.5" (grew about 2.5 inches since last year)
    Weight: 120 lbs
Personality:
    Outside of class, Gawain is a surly and awkward boy.  He is very self-conscious about his voice, which is starting to crack because puberty, so he talks quietly (unless he gets pissed off). He is a burgeoning deadpan snarker, though his wit sometimes misses its mark.  In class, he comes off as something of a teacher's pet.  He is an exceptionally diligent listener and active participant in all his courses, but he tends to be very lax with completing his homework.  He takes notes in his textbooks and points out where they're wrong or only partially correct.  He is a dutiful follower of the rules when he agrees with the rules, and remorelessly flouts any rules he disagrees with/finds stupid.  He does not like to be touched.  Not even for a manly hug, handshake, or brofist.  He doesn't like crowds for this reason.  He has a few people he's close with, but has difficulty making new friends unless someone introduces him to a new person.  He writes letters to his parents (although the letters are always addressed to his mother) every month and letters to his muggle friends every other week.  He suspects that his attachment to the muggle world is preventing him from making new friends at Hogwarts. He has an analytical mind, but doesn't often let it show. Even so, he can be amazingly dense about the effects his words have on others.
Brief History: 
    Gawain grew up in Swansea, Wales with his father (pure-blood) and his mother (muggle-born).  He speaks both Welsh & English but prefers using English.  When he is very angry, he will curse in Welsh.  The Cyndwrigs are not a wealthy family, but they live comfortably because of their frugality. They with very few frills. As a young boy, Gawain scared his parents because he developed magic late. Until his 11th birthday, he attended public school where he made a few close Muggle friends, and many acquaintances.  He still keeps in close contact with his friends and parents by letter.

Pet: none
Wand: White fir. 11.5 inches long, moderately stiff. Griffin tail hair core.
Patronous:  Badger (does not currently have the skill to make a corporeal patronus) 
Sexuality: He's about 30% sure that girls have cooties, but he's willing to give them a chance. Not interested in a relationship until he can work past his issues with touching people.
Likes:
     -broomstickers  (better known as flying)
     -drawing (and thinks he 's good at it, but he has all the skill of...well... a 14-year-old)
     -eating & cooking new foods
     -reading
     -singing along to music (but don't expect him to ever admit that ever)  -arguing
Dislikes:
     -stupid people, people who say stupid things, and stupid rules
       -tasks that stifle creativity
     -spicy foods
     -things that don't make sense (for example, if he is in a debate with someone, he really hates it if they don't use good logic to support their arguments.)
Best Subjects:
      -Charms & Potions
Worst Subjects:
      -Transfiguration & Herbology
Relationships:


Misc.
      -He wants to be a beater on the Quidditch team, but doesn't have any natural talent for the sport. He's been working his butt off for try outs.
      -Gawain can whistle pretty well.
      -He is the Hogwarts equivalent of a high school student that doesn't use his locker. He pretty much carries all his stuff with him to all his classes. Needless to say, his book bag is heavy.
      -The Sorting Hat wasn't sure whether to put him in Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.
      -His fourth year course load is thus: Astronomy, Charms, Potions, Transfiguration, History of Magic, Herbology, DAtDA, Ancient Runes [elective], Arithmancy [elective]

:>  Thanks, yo.  Fortunately, it seems like not too many HSRP OCs speak Welsh, so while the spirit of his foul language may still be there, at least no one will know exactly what he's saying.

Gawain: *he grins, and starts to extend his hand out for a shake. At the last second, he switches it to a little wave instead* Eh, I don't really do the hand-shaking thing.  *he adjusts the wand sitting behind his ear for something else to do with his hand* I thought you looked familiar - I've seen you around. I'm Gawain Cyndwrig. Ravenclaw, obviously.

Gawain: C-cute people? *he blushes, and attempts to dodge the head pat, which is only partially successful. Oddie end up patting his shoulder*  Oh, wow, I just remembered - I need to go do a really important thing. Talk to ya later, Oddie! *Gawain absconds*


Oddie and Gawain will have to try again another time. He's just not used to being called cute and patted by cute girls ;D

Ye, she'll probably focus on chasing Gawain cause he's the biggest cutie on her radar and because of his reaction to her nickname for him.

He's Um.... Fluffy? I think. I can't exactly tell you what he looks like. *she feels around and loops her arm in his* You might not like touching but it is much faster to be lead than to tap around on my own.
