Name: Benjamin Louis Zamora
Description: Ben is a cutie, and he knows it. He's just not sure how to own it. He's tall for his age, but his build is more lanky than it is athletic. Long, shaggy, chestnut brown hair is usually found in a mess framing his face. Ben's wide, dark-green eyes are set deep into his face, and they're very expressive. Besides his height, his eyes are usually the first thing people notice about him. Thin pink lips part to reveal two rows of relatively straight teeth. He has an "adorable" smile (so says his mother) and his voice isn't all that deep. His complexion is pretty creamy, and despite playing Quidditch year-round Ben just doesn't tan. He'll burn, he'll get freckles, but he just won't tan. He doesn't really know how to dress himself, so he usually looks sloppy in random Muggle clothing or just plain bizarre in Wizard robes.
Personality: Ben, for the most part, is a good guy. He loves to have fun, and enjoys goofing off. He, like any other sixteen-year-old boy, is almost stupidly brave and will go to great lengths to impress friends or, especially, girls. Ben doesn't enjoy school terribly much, but he writes a decent essay and has a strange fascination with Ancient Runes. Ben's goal this year is to finally make the House Quidditch team, but he's been pretty humble about his improving talents. In general, Ben's a friendly guy, and a fiercely loyal friend. He's definitely headstrong, however, which gets him into trouble from time to time. Not to mention, he's stubborn, and errs on the side of obnoxious on occasion, but for the most part, he's a good kid.
Background: Benjamin Louis Zamora was born on March 27th to Markward and Tamyra Zamora just outside of London in England. He was actually born several minutes after his twin sister, Camila, and she never let him forget it. Markward worked at the Ministry of Magic, and Tamyra was a part-time Healer's assistant at St. Mungo's. They weren't particularly well-off, but they got along just fine, and were a happy family. When Ben and Cami were three, Tamyra gave birth again, this time to a son. Around that same time is when Markward's job was outsourced, and he became unemployed. Tamyra didn't want to move to full-time at St. Mungo's, because she hated to be away from her family, and Markward despised the idea of not being able to provide for the family. However, the two talked it over, and Tamyra went to full-time, while Markward became Mr. Mom. Cami was, of course, a brat, and Mark had to rely heavily on his older son to help out around the house. Ben obliged, and developed close relationships to his younger brother and his father because of that.
He was enrolled in the local public school, and had regular neighborhood friends. Ben wore Muggle clothing, talked like a Muggle, and participated in Muggle activities. As a matter of fact, his first girlfriend was Ella McIntee, a Muggle from across the street! However, as the years wore on, the Zamoras became concerned. Benny's twin sister had been exhibiting signs of magic for years, and even their younger child was too-so what about him? On top of everything else, was there going to be a Squib in the family?
Thankfully not. No one quite reWizards the day, or the time, or what was going on-but one second Camila is screeching about whatever and attempting to hit Ben, and the next second the lights start flickering (something that the family knew quite well freaked their daughter out). Then the wind picked up. The windows blew open. And in fact, the wind continued to blow-it picked Ben right up, opened his bedroom door, and deposited him safely on his bed, and out of harm's way. That was good enough for Hogwarts, and shortly before his 11th birthday he received his letter, and was enrolled to attend that September for his first term.
Anything Else: I'll also be registering Ben's twin, Cami.
Where you heard of us: Actually, I received an e-mail from the site the other day, but didn't recall signing up for it. So I wanted to check it out again!
