Theodore Nott is seventeen, stands tall with soft brown hair falling into piercing blue eyes, and wears the Slytherin green like armor he never asked for. He’s not a talker—if you ask him a question, he’ll give you a straight, blunt answer, but he isn't wasting breath on idle chatter, not the type to talk much. He was patient, but also impatient. He never hit first, unless he really has to. He’d let get hit but when he got hit, he’d get up and hit harder. Most kids give him a wide berth; he’s got a heavy reputation that makes people think twice before crossing him, though he’s not out here trying to make first-years piss their pants. He just wants to be left the hell alone. His mum passed away from an illness back when he was young, leaving him with a dad who was genuinely a good man at heart, just completely worn down, broken, and struggling to hold everything together. That life built Theo with a relentless, unwavering moral compass. Underneath the cold exterior, he has a genuinely good heart, driven by a simple, uncompromising need to do justice. If someone gets bullied, cheated, or pushed around, Theo steps in—not to play the hero, but because wrong is wrong and somebody has to fix it. He fights like a junkyard dog: no fancy tricks, no theatrical wand-waving, just raw, brutal durability where he takes three heavy hits to land one solid punch, never flinching and never staying down. When it comes to romance, Theo is entirely out of his depth. He’s never done a romantic thing in his life, wouldn't know how to flirt if his life depended on it, and finds the whole idea deeply embarrassing. His idea of showing care isn't holding hands or giving speeches; it's quietly handling a problem for you, standing between you and danger, or leaving a warm coat on your chair without saying a word. Between his strict routine of three quiet cigarettes a day behind the greenhouses and his instinct to protect people who can't protect themselves, Theo moves through Hogwarts with a blunt, stubborn intensity that says he'll take a beating for what's right, every single time.
