Bio

Name: Blaise Nathaniel Zabini Birthdate/Age: 22 June, 1980 / 17 Nationality: British Financial Situation: Wealthy Hometown: Bristol Residence: Manor in Bristol when not in school Appearance Height: 5’10 Weight: 150 General: A tall, dark boy with slanting eyes, Blaise is not what you would call hard to look at. He keeps his head shaved, or at most keeps his hair closely cropped. He's often found in robes, but occasionally can be found in slacks, jumpers, button down shirts, or suits when not in his school uniform. Though he doesn't really approve of muggle clothing, he does own a few pairs of jeans which he'll wear when the situation allows or calls for a casual dress. His usual style of dress is classic and neat, as he prefers clothes that will last him for some time. Play-By: J. August Richards Socially Family: Mother: Eve Johnson-Zabini Blaise’s relationship with his mother is an odd one. He loves her and is loyal to her even though she never quite got the hang of the whole “mum” thing. The steady stream of men through the house has left him feeling not quite unwanted, just perhaps not as important as the men in her life. As such, he would do almost anything for her approval. Father: Nathaniel Zabini Blaise’s father died when he was three and as such he doesn’t remember him much. He does have a picture of the two of them that is one of his treasured things. Friends: Draco, Pansy, Theodore, Daphne, and Tracey. Others are mostly acquaintances. Rivalry: Granger, Weasley, Potter, tba Romantics: None at the moment. Background History: Blaise was born on June 22nd 1980 to Eve and Nathaniel Zabini. Blaise's father was husband number three and did not live to see his son's third birthday. Blaise was at home with the Nanny when his father was killed in an "accident". The boy was of course too young to understand the gossip that was going on about his mother. All he knew is that Dad wasn't coming home. A year later, Blaise's mother had someone new, and thus began a steady stream of bachelors who often came into his life while he was growing up. Through all of this Blaise is oddly loyal to his Mum, loving her even though he doesn't particularly care for her suitors, husbands, or habits. In fact he refers to them by their number. He never calls them by their names and most certainly not Dad. Currently Number Seven has made it four years much to his surprise. Some would argue that Mrs. Zabini is just waiting until Number Seven has added more to his bank account at Gringott's. Blaise however is not entering the betting pool on how long this one will last. While growing up, Blaise was taught at home instead of going to primary school. Eve felt that he would learn more practical things from her. It was of course no surprise when Blaise's Hogwarts letter arrived on his eleventh birthday. The weeks before he was to arrive at school have been some of the happiest days he's had to date. For once he had his mother's undivided attention as they shopped for school supplies and most importantly, his very own owl. The young boy listened to his mother's tales about her experiences at Hogwarts and about her house, Slytherin. Blaise firmly expected that he too would be sorted into his mother's old house and looked forward to meeting his new housemates. As the days drew closer, he became not only more excited but nervous as well. Although if you ask him now, he will tell you that he of course was never nervous and knew all along that he was going to be fine. Reaching the station, he met up with other proper pureblooded children and promptly fell in with them as they boarded the train. These things along with taking the boats across the lake were all easy as far as Blaise was concerned. What worried him was the sorting. What if he was placed in the wrong house? After what seemed like an eternity, "Zabini, Blaise" was finally called. Taking his place on the stool, he waited for the hat to place him in his house. He'll never tell anyone but he came very close to being placed in Ravenclaw. But much to his satisfaction, he ended up in Slytherin. The following years were spent learning, making new friends and contacts, and finding his place in the Slytherin pecking order. Although he won't admit it, Blaise was a bit put out that he wasn't selected as Prefect, though he knew that given the competition he didn't stand much of a chance. However he plans to make sure his children (if he has them) will be of a higher status than he is. Blaise would prefer that his family is not slighted because of their status. He's managed to become more confident as the years have passed, or at least to put on a better facade if he's not. The current turn of events with Dumbledore dying, the Dark Lord taking over the Ministry, and the Carrows at Hogwarts have unnerved him more than he’d like to admit. While he does appreciate the changes they have implemented, it is change from what he’s used to which Blaise does not always handle well. Currently he is attempting to figure out how to best help his House. As of right now, he’ll continue to assist Draco and work from there.

Personality

Personality Blaise is a bit of an introvert. He tends to keep to himself and observe others before entering conversation. He likes to make sure that he understands what’s going on so as not to make a fool of himself. Blaise is someone who can lead when necessary, but would rather stay in the background and work behind the scenes. However this does not mean that he is a follower. Blaise would rather make his own choices rather than have someone make them for him. His mother has always encouraged him to be his own person and not to depend on others. This is perhaps why he has problems allowing people to get close to him. He is somewhat jaded about relationships as he has watched his mother find and discard suitors like a child discards toys when they no longer hold their interest. As such, he is often withdrawn when he first meets people and occasionally warms up to them. Character's Alignment: Evil. Though he sees it as more the “right” way than being evil. It’s a matter of following tradition and above all else, looking out for himself. Blaise has been raised to believe that purebloods are superior to those of mixed blood and the muggleborn. He believes that while some of the habits and “traditions” of muggles are odd, killing them (at the moment) is simply not worth his time. Blaise would much rather prefer to stay behind the scenes rather than be a poster child for the war, even though he is willing (and wants) to work for the cause in some way. He is unsure at the moment if he will join the Death Eaters upon graduation. He knows that it is an irrevocable choice and wants to keep some options open in the event that things do not turn out as planned. Character's Thoughts on Voldemort: He believes in Voldemort’s ideals, if not the way he goes about them. That perhaps it would’ve been better to take a more subtle political stance than the more obvious campaign. Character's opinion about students from other Houses: As a rule, Blaise is most often found with his Slytherin housemates. Although he doesn’t mind a select few Ravenclaws as long as they’re capable of carrying on a good conversation. Acceptable status goes a long way as well. He doesn’t have much to do with Gryffindors or Hufflepuffs, as he finds the former irritating and the latter useless. Blaise will however be at least somewhat civil to most of his fellow students just incase they might be of some use down the road.

Schooling

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry House/Year:Slytherin, 7th year Sorting Hat: Blaise is in Slytherin for several reasons. The most important reason being he wouldn’t accept being anywhere else. He’s driven to succeed regardless of what he has to do to get there. He understands that at times the ends justify the means and isn’t afraid to step on people’s toes to get where he needs to go.
