Sirius Orion Black

" Cause' I'm a picker
I'm a grinner
I'm a lover
And I'm a sinner
playin' my music in the sun
I'm a joker
I'm a smoker
I'm a mid-night toker
I get my lovin' on the run.

The Appearance

Hair: Sirius has shaggy dark brown hair. He keeps it shaggy because it used to make his mother mad and he prefers it that way. He has quite a lot of hair and is always brushing it out of his face, but he refuses to cut it. His hair is thick and rather wavy.
Face: Sirius has a lovely face. Like all Blacks he has regal features with high cheekbones and slightly hooded eyes. He has a rather pouty mouth and he uses it to get girls ;). His eyes are a steely grey and sparkle when he is pulling a joke or laughing.
Body & Style: Sirius is tall, standing at 6’1” and he uses this height to dominate when he wants to. He plays quidditch quite a lot so he is built enough. He carries himself with little effort and has an air about him of carelessness. When he’s not in school uniform he wears a mix of muggle and wizard clothes, just to be rebellious. And when he is in his school uniform he wears his tie not all the way tied and his shirt untucked, just because he can.
Distinguishing Features: Sirius eyes are rather striking against his hair and his overall Black features make him stand out to a crowd.

Personality: Sirius is rather a cheeky lad. Like his cousin Andromeda, he has an extremely quick wit and enjoys smarting off. This wit makes him extremely popular among the student body of Hogwarts, though makes him a little less popular among the teachers. He is extremely brave and loyal and will fight to the death to protect his friends. He's extremely bright and talented, though he has a habit of goofing off and not doing as well in classes as he could. Sirius's cheek is one of his most distinctive and he uses it both to gain him more popularity and make certain enemies. People like Severus Snape fall into the latter category, as Sirius makes constant fun of him. He also uses his gift of practical jokes to pull stunts that some people see as not quite so harmless. Needless to say, Sirius is a very talented practical joker. Teachers know him as a trouble-maker, but students know him as 'that guy who does those absolutely brilliant jokes'. He, along with James, have pulled some of the best stunts in Hogwarts history and he's rather proud of the fact.

That's another thing about Sirius. Though he despises his family for their proud boast of family blood-line, Sirius is himself an extremely proud person. He knows he's good looking, funny, and brilliant and doesn't mind letting people know about it all. While this doesn't bother the majority of the students, it has made him some enemies around the castle. Sirius also has a dark side to him. His temper is quick and he often loses control when angered. Andromeda has mentioned the fact that if Sirius had made friends with the kinds of people Bellatrix made friends with, he might have ended up on the same road she did. Though Andromeda admitted that he wouldn't be as bad, she was probably right. Sirius has many of the Black family traits, try as he might to deny it. However, he has mostly stayed on the straight path and been mostly a good person who proves true not to follow in his family's footsteps.

Although he would hurt anyone who mentions this, Sirius is probably more like Bellatrix than he likes to admit. As stated before, he has a horrible temper and he does tend to think that he’s better than other people. While this comes out differently than Bellatrix, he still shows evidence of it. Sirius hates Kreacher, the family house Elf, and treats him rather badly. He seems to forget that creatures like Kreacher have feelings as well and tends to act like a jerk to them. He also has negligence for safety and authority. He enjoys doing what he wants to do and doesn’t care what other people say about it. He has put himself in many dangerous situations this way and has also endangered other people. While he cares about others, he tends to be selfish and can’t always see when something is troubling someone or what he could do about it. He loves and cares for certain people, but he doesn’t always know the best way to show it.

History: Sirius was born into the most noble and ancient house of Black. This being said, he was basically raised with a silver spoon in his mouth. His family is one of the richest and most important families in the wizarding world. There is almost a thousand years of magic in his blood and he was taught from quite a young age that this made him absolutely better than the majority of people in the world. Though Sirius got everything he wanted, his parents hardly worried themselves with their children. Both parents were far too busy keeping up their social life to worry about raising their children. House elves made sure Sirius and Regulus were taken care of physically, and tutors took care of the boys' minds. However, Sirius and his little brother basically raised themselves. Of course their parents taught them manners and how to be good Black children, but that was simply for family honor. Walburga certainly could have cared less if her boys were happy and well-loves as long as they represented their family well. Orion was hardly ever at home, being very busy with whatever the hell it was he did when he was out of the house. Sirius grew to be very close to his cousins, though Bellatrix and he were never on extremely good terms. Andromeda was his favorite and the two were more like brother and sister than anything else. Indeed, they were the most alike and got along the best.

When Sirius turned eleven he received his Hogwarts letter. Before he left his father called him into his study and impressed upon the boy the importance of upholding the honorable Black image. This was done in part by being sorted into Slytherin, not associating with mudbloods or blood traitors, and showing everyone that he was the best and brightest. Already feeling rebellious, Sirius acted as if he understood perfectly and wouldn't dream of disgracing the family. However, when the sorting hat was placed on him and suggested Gryffindor as a house, Sirius thought 'what the hell' and gladly made his way to his new house, avoiding the glares of Bellatrix, who was sorted into Slytherin. That night he received a howler from his parents and he realized just how much trouble he was in. However, he decided that he was at school and just didn't care, and when he went home he would just avoid his parents.

On the train ride Sirius made friends with a certain James Potter, both sharing a love for cheek and trouble-making. The two became fast friends and soon they added Remus Lupin to the mix. Peter Pettigrew tagged along and the other three tried their best to make him feel as if he belonged. The three four boys grew to be the best of friends and did everything together, though Remus usually hung back during the trouble making. A few years ago the boys discovered the Remus was a werewolf, having been bitten as a child. Deciding that they needed to keep him company during his 'time of the month', they secretly became animaguses and sneaked out every month to go with their best friend. This gave Sirius much excitement and he grew even closer to his friends. They all adopted nicknames and joked with each other constantly using their names. They even called themselves the Marauders and made a special map of Hogwarts for their own personal use and gain.

As time went on, Sirius grew more and more disgusted with his families beliefs. Ever since he had started school he knew that his family was not exactly pleased with him, and this showed more and more and he became more and more rebellious. When he turned sixteen his father told him that he needed to straighten up and start to act like the Black heir. He lost his temper and went off on his father about how ridiculous the families views were and that he owed his family nothing. Realizing that he couldn't live with his family's beliefs and behavior, he ran away and moved in with James. This act resulted in his being disowned from the family and his name being blasted off the family tree. His Uncle Alphard was also blasted off for giving him money.

Sirius is now in his seventh year and still living with James. He isn't sure what he wants to do with his life, but he's confidant that he will find something. At the moment he's more concerned with enjoying his last year at the place that was more of a home than his own home.
