the factfile[/font]
Height: 6’½” – yes, the half is important
Build: Lanky, like a pooooole.
Wand: Oak, with core of leprechaun hair.
Patronus: Kale has never been able to summon a full patronus, but the half-formed glow he can manage looks suspiciously like a wombat.
Boggart: Kale’s boggart that’s the form of a rather huge apple, caved in, festering, and all sorts of strange colours that an apple should never be.
Dementor: It was more a period of time than a distinct memory. Kale did not have a very good childhood, and so his worst memories are of being sat at home alone in his lavishly furnished room having no friends and nothing but books he couldn’t read for company.
Amortentia: Rat food, roast beef and apple juice. Yum.
Nicknames: Kale. This is the name he goes by at school, and he’ll scowl at you really hard if you call him “Micheal” or the dreaded “Mike”.
Clothing Style: Your typical wizard boy, tough generally looking a bit worse for wear. He likes to look scruffy, and if he must have new clothes, they acquire holes suspiciously quickly.
[/font][/ul][/size]the biography
Siblings: None
Relatives: Many, but nobody interesting.
Other Important Figures: Doris, the house elf. She was his only friend for 11 years.
Pets: Melissa! Melissa is the cutest rat you have ever seen, with large drooping ears, a cute little whiskery nose, and a mottled light grey and white body. Kale loves her, and if you mock her, he will hex you into net week.
Pensieve: As probably already gathered, Kale had the most horrifically boring childhood. From pureblood parents with a large family inheritance to spend, you’d think he’d have everything he ever wanted. Well he was spoilt with all of the latest things that every wizard boy would kill for, but as everybody knows, money can’t buy happiness. His parents spent most of their time travelling, and stopped taking Kale when they deemed him old enough to look after himself, sometimes leaving a perfectly boring aunt or cousin of Kale’s to stay in the house with him.
As a result, Kale had a very lonely childhood. He was not even allowed any pets to keep him company, and the house elf Doris had only a finite time to entertain him with magical cakes. Making it into Hogwarts was the most exciting thing ever to happen to Kale, and he came brimming with promise and ambition. His problems with reading and numeracy became crippling, however, and Kale soon found himself floundering in a sea of barely legible notes and impossibly unreadable text books. The young wizard became disenchanted with lessons fairly quickly, and coasts on low grades, barely passing exams and other tests.
This he does excel at though tend to be practical or easily-remembered chants. So long as he doesn’t have to write anything down, Kale is a dab-hand at it. He has a particular way with Care of Magical Creatures, and it is the only subject where he will occasionally get above a D. He once even got an A!
Kale spends most of his time socialising, and tends to hang around with the “cool” crowds. Hollering at Hufflepuffs, razzing Ravenclaws and goading Gryffindors are his favourite pastimes, and he has gotten himself into plenty of trouble. He loves Hogwarts though, and spends every holiday there. Summers are dreaded, but at least he has Mel to keep him company.
[/ul][/size] [/font]the inner workings
Dislikes: Purple fruits, people mocking his ears, Hufflepuffs on principle, and having his hair pulled.
Quirks and Habits: Kale has a habit of finding coins (Doris thinks he may be related to a leprechaun), so he always waves at rainbows. He also snores, and mumbles in his sleep.
Mirror of Erised: Embarrassingly, Kale's dream would be to have a family, with lots of children to play with and love. He's a big softy, really.
In Depth Personality: Kale's outward personality is adaptive. It depends which friend, or friends he is with, to how he might react to a situation. For instance with a group of male Slytherines, Kale can be almost needlessly cruel toward other people. With a Ravenclaw, he might make more jokes. He realised when he first started at Hogwarts (when he didn’t instantly have a hundred friends due to his uncertainty and apparent stupidity) that making friends was not a simple thing of just “being yourself”. You made more friends if you were what they expected you to be.
Kale might have many friends, but he does not make successful relationships that go beyond a surface role. Kale is still in the stage of adolecense where it's quantity of friends not quality. Kale "collects" friends, and his tendancy to adopt personality facets to please certain individuals often means he can be needlessly cruel towards whomever is at the butt of his jokes, and it gives him a "two-faced" reputation. He will use timid personalities as a step up in the popularity game, and apparently feel no remorse in doing so. He is your conventional bully, although he does have his good sides.
Kale has a great loyalty to his friends, even if he doesn’t pick the best sort. He has never been the leading type, and so he is easily conned into dares or errands that he wouldn’t otherwise do on his own accord. He’s not stupid – there are some things even Kale won’t do just to please a friend, but that limit is a little beyond normal.
Conversely, Kale is very good at making enemies. He holds a grudge like a chaser holds onto the quaffle. And he can get violent. There are only a few things that will riles Kale up to the point of violent anger, and those include mocking Melissa, or calling him “spoilt”, or “rich”, or anything similar. He hates the fact he has a rich family, as if being poor might give his parents an excuse for neglecting him emotionally.
His struggles with reading and writing are well known. It’s hard to get consistently bad grades in class and have nobody notice. It does bother Kale, but he pretends like any other struggling teenage boy that he does it on purpose, and that schoolwork holds no interest for him. He really only excels in practical magic, or common sense subjects like Care of Magical Creatures. He also loves Quiddich, and though he’s not the best player, he knows the rules like the back of his hand (it all comes from listening to wizarding radio, he memorises things much better if spoken aloud to him than written down).
The real Kale, the one you’d only ever see if he thought he was alone, is quite quiet. He is calm and confident, and especially gentle towards animals, even the much-abused flobberworm.
