Name: Neville Longbottom
Date of Birth: July 30, 1980
Age: 17
Occupation: Student
Appearance-
Height: 6'0
Hair: Straight, flat, brown
Eyes: Almond shaped, brown
Overall Appearance: Neville was said to strongly resemble his mother, being round-faced with a short, chubby build and brown hair. He was also somewhat buck-toothed. His appearance changed as he matured over the years, and it should be noted that Neville grew from a short, chubby boy into a lean young man taller than even Harry.
Personality: When he was younger, Neville was clumsy, forgetful, shy, and many considered him ill-suited for Gryffindor house because he seemed timid. However, Neville proved that the Sorting Hat had seen the bravery beneath his insecurity, as he stood up to his only friends as a first-year and later became one of the D.A.’s most courageous members. Part of Neville’s problem seems to have been poor self-esteem, as he referred to himself as a "nobody" and "almost a Squib" at times. This was likely caused by his grandmother’s belief that he was not living up to his parents’ accomplishments, and browbeating from fellow students and people like Professor Snape. Though he came from a pure-blood family, he held no prejudice against half-bloods or Muggleborns. With the support of his friends, to whom he was very loyal, the encouragement of Professor Remus Lupin to face his fears in his third year, and the motivation of knowing his parents’ torturers were on the loose, Neville became braver, more self-assured, and dedicated to the fight against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters.
Likes: Plants
Dislikes: Bullies and tyrants
Strengths: Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Duelling, Charms, leadership skills
Weaknesses: Potions
History: When Neville was very young, Death Eaters torured his parents into insanity and left him in the care of his grandmother. Neville's grandmother is a stern and formidable woman who was concerned when her grandson did not exhibit early signs of magic. She often chided Neville for not living up to his family's honour and was partly the reason for Neville's lack of self-confidence early in his school years. His relatives feared that Neville might be a Squib, though this was disproved when his great-uncle Algie was holding him out of a window by his feet when he was offered some lemon meringue and let go.
When Neville began attending Hogwarts, he was constantly picked on by various people, although it was mainly the Slytherins in his year and Professor Snape. He struggled through the years but was a gifted dueller, he never thought he could, so he didn't, he was friends with Harry, Ron and Hermione. They helped him and stood up for him when he couldn't, although, later in the years, he began to stop needing their help and began to stand up for himself. When the DA started he was one of the lousiest members, although, due to Harry's and Hermione's unwavering support and encouragement, he quickly progressed and was soon able to do many advanced spells.
