Appearance:
Arthur is a skinny boy of an average height. Wavy blond hair, grey eyes, tidy clothes. He is a leftie, yet he holds cutlery as if he was right handed, for the sake of dinner etiquette.
History:
Pre-Hogwarts history:
[1867] - A toy shop owner and enchanter Victor Price proposes to Agatha Davies. Later that year, they get married. Things go well for the family, Victor hires more employees, further dividing labour in his shop, which he believes is a key to efficiency.
[1869] - Charles is born.
[1872] - Richard is born.
[1875] - Arthur is born.
[1877] - The Price family moves to Hogsmeade. Victor’s business suffers as the result, as some of the equipment has to be moved and some abandoned. New employees have to be hired, too. Agatha becomes a Daily Prophet columnist to help the family, although in public she claims writing is just her new hobby.
[1877] - Eleanor is born.
[1879] - Richard dies to Typhoid Fever.
[1880] - Charles goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Gryffindor.
[1885] - Charles completes his OWL, graduates from Hogwarts, and joins his father’s business. The boy turns out to be a good enchanter and entrepreneur, which delights Victor. With two of them at work, things start to go much better.
[1886] - Arthur goes to Hogwarts and is sorted into Hufflepuff.
Hogwarts history:
[Year 1886-1887] - Arthur takes both Art and Music classes, although drops the latter by the end of the year; signs up for multiple clubs but is barely engaged in any of them, aside from Flying. His grades are slightly below average.
[Year 1887-1888] - Arthur starts working on his book, “Adventures of Arthurus Priceless, Curse-Breaker and Gentleman”, with mixed success. He tries out for Hufflepuff Quidditch team as a Chaser but fails, signing up for Quidditch Club instead, determined to try again next year. The boy’s grades are still slightly below average.
Personality:
Careless, talkative, compromising, irresolute, not (realistically) planning far ahead.
Arthur finds all human imitating dolls creepy and feels uncomfortable around them, especially if those are enchanted to move by themselves or make noises. He is also afraid of spiders and tries to either kill them or distance himself from the creatures.
Although easily stressed by work and studies, the boy can put a lot of energy into his pointless ideas and ever-changing hobbies.
Other:
Boggart: a creepy doll.
Languages: rudimentary French.
Sample Roleplay Post:
As vampires drew closer, Arthurus grinned, and the dawn reflected from his perfect white smile, blinding the foul creatures and forcing them to retreat, Arthur wrote in his little beige book and looked at the fireplace dreamily. One day, “Adventures of Arthurus Priceless, Curse-Breaker and Gentleman” would become the most popular novel, he was sure.
An unfinished Transfiguration essay lay on the table, but it could wait. Arthur believed that creative writing was impossible without inspiration, and that if he missed that inspiration now, the vampires fight scene would never come to him again. So the boy gazed further at the fire, choosing the right words to describe another Priceless’ glorious victory over his enemies.
Tomorrow, the essay would have to wait, again, as Arthur had Quidditch club meeting after classes. He regarded it as important, so descriptions of Priceless’ flying adventures would look realistic. And Arthur didn’t want to be ridiculed as a writer for his misunderstanding of broomstick flight and maybe (if Priceless ever plays it in the novel) Quidditch tactics.
For now, Arthurus Priceless hadn’t yet flown. It was just vampires. An ever-delayed fight. Or escape. The aspiring writer had yet to decide. But he didn’t hurry, he was just looking at the fire, dreaming about his bright future as a novelist. Or a pro Quidditch player. Or maybe an artist. All these possibilities were good enough to think about, instead of finishing an essay or coming up with the vampire scene.
Crackle. Crackle.
