House: Slytherin
Year: 6th
Physical Description:
Liam is tall, 5'11'' and slender, with little muscular definition. His skin is pale and very slightly yellow toned, but it's hardly noticeable unless he stand next to a very tan person. His eyes are blue, and his hair a soft shade of brown. During the winter months, Liam lets his hair grow out only slightly, but cuts it shorter in the spring and summer months.
Personality Description:
Liam is a generally cold and uncaring person, which isn't shocking, as he grew up in a wealthy, pureblood family where he was waited on at his beck and call. Liam isn't particularly spoiled - that is, he doesn't have a fit if he doesn't get what he wants, mainly because he almost always does get what he wants anyway. And, when he doesn't, instead of being immature, Liam tends to find some other way of getting it.
Liam was raised mostly by a nanny and his father, Ethan, to whom he became very close. Unfortunately, though, Liam's father had a small number of mistresses and so planted the idea in Liam's head that to have many women was part of being a man. In turn, Liam became cold in relationships, often treating girls as objects, with a few exceptions, of course. Being around his father so much, and watching the man he looked up to so much lie to so many people only taught Liam how to lie equally as well, and also to fairly easily detect when someone is lying.
Brief History:
Though he was born (on the 3rd of December in 1959) in Buckland in the Moor, Devon during a trip his parents were on, Liam grew up in rural Northern Ireland. In the earliest years of his life, Liam was raised by a nanny and rarely saw his parents. As he got a bit older, though, his father began to spend more time with him, teaching him archery, fencing, and equestrian sports. The time he spent with his father put the man at a level of the highest respect in Liam's eyes, as he knew his father had a good deal of work to attend to most of the time. While his father was spending time with him, Liam's mother spent most of her time shopping and socializing.
Being an only child was the same for Liam as it would be fore any other wealthy pureblood heir. Anything he could want was made readily available for him the moment he asked for it (provided, of course, that was at all possible). He never asked for much, though, but rather enjoyed being doted upon by his family.
As Liam 'matured' during his first years at Hogwarts, he took on some of his father's most unpleasant qualities, including the tendency to use girls then leave them. Though Liam never sought out girls, when one came his way, he was never the sort to pass up the opportunity. However, though he tried to deny it, he always felt a sort of emptiness in such shallow relationships and internally seeks something more real. But, like many, Liam pushed away any feeling of guilt and pressed on.
Important Relationships:
Ethan Finlay - Liam looks up to his father as a 'perfect' man, and the two share a very close bond. Liam often writes letters home to his father detailing happenings at school - Ethan rarely says anything other than how proud he is of Liam, and such things.
Rose Finlay - Liam has little respect for his mother, but does care for her just the same. He feels she is naive, but still asks too many questions of her husband's business. Nonetheless, Liam treats her with decency, but tends not to spend much time with her.
