Micheal owns a raven who is simply called Bird due to the fact that the raven has never told him his name. Raven is quite large with one green eye and one gray eye. It's plumage is jet-black with a small white dot above it's left eye. Bird rarely caws but when it does it is remarkably loud, other than that it simply makes small clicking noises. Micheal is the only person it allows near it otherwise it will caw and peck at anyone who gets too close. Bird's favorite spots to rest are on Micheal's shoulder and the window near Micheal's bed.

personality.

First Impression»» [/b]
Upon first meeting Micheal, one would think that he is very antisocial. One might also think that he is angry at them (for some unknown reason, perhaps overcooking his dinner) and that he is very high-strung. He is also able to read people like a book giving him the ability to point out anyone's deepest insecurity. On a positive note, due to his ability to read people, he can point out one's greatest strengths and bring comfort. There is an aura of intelligence to Micheal, not book-smart but more of a people-smart (if that makes any sense.) It is usually hard to get close to him, but when one does his friendship is loyal as a puppy.

Self Image»» [/b]
Micheal sees himself as an independent individual. He is confident but he doubts his usefulness as a wizard. Overall, his self image is pretty low but he does feel confidence in his studies, especially charms.

Positive Traits»» [/b]

• Emotional Awareness.
  Micheal is very aware of how people are feeling, and in such knows when to back off or try to help. Although he is bad at handling most social situations, his awareness to people's emotions allows him to handle emotional situations very well and usually is able to make the distraught individual come out O.K. Although at some points this may be considered a bad thing because when he is not in a "good state" he wont talk to anyone about it due to the fact that he feels that he is able to handle these situations on his own.
  
  Loyalty.
  It may be hard to get close to Micheal, but when one does he will be there until the bitter end. He doesn't have a whole lot of close relationships, but when he cares about someone he will do anything possible to make them happy. He is even extremely loyal to the relationships that he has to animals, such as Bird. Micheal also always keeps to his word and never breaks a promise. Also, Micheal will not hesitate to defend any of his friends if he sees them being insulted.
  
  Dedication.
  Micheal is remarkably devoted to his work. He never misses an assignment although he occasionally ditches a class, but makes sure to get whatever the assignment was that he missed. There are two reasons for this; one is because he feels that he should live up to his grandfather's expectations, and two, because it keeps his mind off of his grandfather and any other reason for stress.
  
  Reason
  Above most things, Micheal upholds reason. If faced with a major decision, Micheal will chose the option most reasonable in the long run. When in an argument, Micheal is completely willing to admit when he has been proven wrong if shown reasonable evidence. In fact, Micheal will not tolerate when someone is being unreasonable, and will usually walk away from or chew out the person. Micheal rarely lets emotion get in the way of a decision.
  
  Cleanliness
  On a more shallow note, Micheal also upholds hygiene. Micheal's room is very tidy and he likes to keep his things organized. He also takes good care of his personal hygiene and appearance. This comes from his grandfather, who taught him to keep clean from an early age.
  
  
  
  
  

Negative Traits»» [/b]

• 
  
  Distrustful
  Perhaps the main root of Micheal's social problems comes from his lack of trust for others. He doesn't usually get close to anybody because he is afraid of what might happen. His main fear is that he will get close to someone, and like every other relationship he's had (aside from Bird), they will leave him like his parents did and his grandfather.
  
  Insecurity
  Micheal has a very low confidence. He is constantly doubting himself both as a person and a wizard. He feels that he will never be able to live up to his grandfather and that his parents will never accept him because they haven't talked to him since he was a boy. Micheal is very good at hiding this, however, and puts on the persona of being very bitter to maybe show that he's not a pansy. Micheal's insecurity is also a reason for his social problems.
  
  Vengeful
  Micheal will very much hold a grudge. If anybody angers Micheal is the slightest way he will find a way to make their life a living hell until he feels that the scales have been evened. This is a problem because occasionally he can take it out of hand and make a muck of things.
  
  Spiteful
  Micheal likes to do the opposite of what he is told just to anger someone. He will often object what other people have to say just for the sake of argument. One could say that he is a bit of a sadist because he enjoys seeing people get angry. This isn't as much out of maliciousness as it is sheer enjoyment, he finds it entertaining. Obviously this can get him in a lot of trouble with those of higher power.
  
  Emotional Repression
  Micheal tends to bottle up his emotions. He doesn't like to deal with the negative emotions and situations so he will brush them under the proverbial rug. There are two problems with this, one is that it causes him to have very bad anxiety, and the other is that sometimes the bottle gets too full and he explodes into fits of rage or depression.

history.

Family»» [/b]
Micheal is an only child. His parents names are Charles (Muggle) and Linda Crow (Squib). His Grandfather, a wizard named Joseph Thindle, raised Micheal and did not tell his mother of his former status. Joseph is now deceased. Micheal is estranged from his parents and believe he is at a boarding school.

Past»» [/b]

• General Info.
  Born in southern Canada, Micheal was raised on a large mountainous ranch owned by his family for hundreds of years. He was raised by his grandfather, Joseph, because his parents moved to America when he was eight and left him with his grandfather for "financial reasons." In all actuality, it was because of the odd occurrences that happened after Micheal was born such as large flocks of ravens (the "leader" of which was Bird which is how they came to know one another) following Micheal about and the exploding T.V.'s and hairdryers. Micheal lived on the ranch with his grandfather until he went to Hogwarts.
  Joseph Thindle:
  I will explore Joseph's past to help further your understanding of Micheal. Joseph Thindle was once a respected member of the magical community but decided to move and live permanently on his family's ranch. He is a pureblood but was against muggleborn aggression and went into hiding after Voldemort tried to recruit him. There were other traumatic events that happened in Joseph's life that motivated him to move but he never talked about it. Thankfully, (to him) his daughter Linda was born a squib so he didn't have to worry about her being affected by magic or telling her of his past as a wizard. Linda never learned of the magical community.
  After Micheal's parents moved, Joseph told Micheal of his magical heritage and that Micheal is a wizard. Micheal showed interest in wizardry so Joseph decided to home-school Micheal when Micheal turned eleven. Due to the fact that Joseph wanted to keep Micheal in reclusion, but Micheal needed a wand, Joseph gave Micheal his father's wand, explaining the mismatch in size and the wand's faulty behavior. Micheal's life was pretty static in the years he spent with his grandfather being taught. The first spell that Micheal was taught was Bombarda (blasting a door open.)
  Joseph died of lung cancer due to years of heavy smoking. during his last months he decided to put past his fear of the magical world and send Micheal to Hogwarts which is why Micheal is there. Because Micheal only had four years of teaching, Micheal was put as a fourth year even though he is fifteen. His parents were told that he was being sent to a boarding school. The last thing that Joseph gave to Micheal was a necklace with a glass ball about the size of a golf ball with a mysterious cloud of smoke that changes color depending on the mood of whoever wears it; the glass ball is on a simple silver chain.
  Micheal's most traumatic experiences were his grandfather's death and his parent's abandonment. Even though his grandfather died from it, Micheal smokes because it reminds him of Joseph. Due to the many years of seclusion and the recent death of his grandfather, Micheal is very bitter and doesn't necessarily know how to behave in social situations.
