"I'd rather forget and not slow down, than gather regret for the things I can't change now."

SEVENTEEN ● RAVENCLAW

LOOKS:
Riley Pearson has blue eyes and stands at about six foot four inches, making him seem like he towers over most people. His hair is a sandy blond, although sometimes a bit closer to brown depending on the season of the year; it's also wavy, on the verge of being curly, when it's on the longer side versus when he gets sick of it and chops it all off (which isn't really that often). Riley is also pale and somewhat skinny; he's not really a stick, but he definitely isn't buff or chubby.

When it comes to clothing, Riley really just likes to be comfortable. He's usually found in jeans (blue, black or gray) and some kind of button up shirt (generally plaid though) with a pair of converse shoes. If he's not wearing that it's likely that he just has on a t-shirt. Along with whatever he's wearing, he's usually found to also have a a zip-up hoodie, or carrying a zip-up with him. This is, of course, when he isn't wearing his school uniform. Riley also wears glasses, but most of the time uses contacts.


PERSONALITY:
Riley is generally a pretty nice guy and friend (to most he meets). He gets along easily with most everyone so it's sort of rare when he ends up with an enemy. He's just a friendly guy who likes to laugh and is almost always found with a smile on his face. This isn't to say that he's always in a great mood and cheery all the time though. He, like every other person, has his moments of not being so happy or being depressed; and it isn't unheard of that there will be someone he doesn't really like all that much. In fact, when he's not feeling up to par, it's fairly easy to tell, whether you're his friend or not.

Riley also tends to worry quite easily, it doesn't take much to make him worry either. He can be very persistent about certain things. Not everything, of course, but if he does have strong feelings about something he won't let it go. Although he's persistent about some things (like most people are), he is actually quite a pushover with some things and also with saying yes to helping to pretty much everyone.

He is also very trusting of people. Even if he hasn't known them for a very long amount of time, he generally believes the best of them. This isn't always a good thing and it has gotten him into some places where he rather wouldn't have been. Despite that though, he still hasn't really learned his lesson.


HISTORY:
For the first few years of his life, Riley Oliver Pearson lived with this small family in the city of Bath. He was born on August 12th, 1992, being the second child of Bella and Joshua Pearson. The first was Ariella Nicole, who was born 1988. A couple years after Riley, in 1994, they had another daughter, Caitlin Eliza. They had a fairly happy family and everything was going very well for a while despite what had been going on around them. Riley's father, Josh was an Order Member before the Dark Lord fell and he was called onto a mission about death eater supporters still around and just couldn't get out of it. Unfortunately, the mission didn't go over so well and Josh disappeared. After a quite some time spent searching had passed, he was presumed dead in May of the year of 1998.

His mother just couldn't stand being in their house anymore and eventually picked up what was left of their family and moved to London so they could all be closer to her parents. Riley, Ella, and Caitlin were still pretty young, but Riley had a fair idea of what was happening... and they both new what had happened.
A few years had passed and Bella met a muggle man by the name of Henry Parker one day while she was working (she had gotten a job at a bakery to support her family) and from then on they seemed to hit it off.
After about a year and sixth months of knowing each other and a year of a relationship, they got engaged and then soon after, married, combing both of their houses. The Pearsons picked up and moved again, this time just a few streets over and lived with Henry and his only daughter, Lilian, who was just a year younger than Riley.

Time passed and Riley then got his acceptance letter from Hogwarts. Upon arriving, he was then sorted into Ravenclaw, his mother's house. And then two years later, Caitlin followed, too getting into Ravenclaw like her brother. Ella, having gotten there a few years prior to Riley, was sorted into Hufflepuff and is now graduated and living on her own.
The two of them are now attending Hogwarts and this is Riley's last year.
