Personality
Being born into a family of southern wizards, Eric has grown accustomed to the manners and etiquettes of being a Kansas farmboy. Despite this though, he has made it a point to pursue the practice of wizardry ever since his first letter inviting him to the school of Gaol in New York. Attending Gaol for the past 6 years of his life has made him attuned to the magical life that had seemed foreign to him before. Having a natural passion for animals, having been raised on a farm, Eric has found that he gets along well with not only muggle animals, but magical ones as well.
Eric is always one to offer a smile to those who need it, and often times to those who don't. He's just a friendly guy, and it can be fairly easy for strangers to determine this just by looking at him. He has a cheesy sense of humor, which may be rather lame to some, but he can often be seen laughing at any joke cracked, no matter how dark or lame. Though he has a seemingly vibrant leadership, Eric his been known be a bit of a troublemaker, thus giving him the reputation of a sort of big brother to the younger years. He's easy to get along with and he definitely has an infinitive for fun.
For some reason, Eric has always had this sense of heroism about him. Along with the satisfaction he receives from helping others, Eric is quick to react to situations that may have danger lurking within them. While not the most confrontational person at school, Eric is not one to stand for injustice or inequality. He despises bullying and feels that anyone who does bully others is not a friend to him.

Born in a small town rested in the center of Kansas, seemingly far, far away from anything out of the ordinary, Eric was raised in a large family of muggles, or non-magical folk. Growing up around his farm, Eric had always been able to be able to do things that seemed unreal, or unnatural. His parents had taken notice to this early on in his life when he had started to have his room cleaned within a matter of seconds. After spying on him while he was cleaning his room one day, his parents were astonished to see that their 6 year old son was sitting in the middle of the floor, humming happily while his bed seemed to be being made by someone unseen. At the same time, all of his toys were being placed into his toy bin, his clothes were being hung on hangers, etc. Ever since that day, his family knew there was something special about him.
Not wanting Eric to be exploited for being different in such an extraordinary way, his mother decided that it would be better for the entire family if he were to be home schooled. Being an only child, it may not have been a surprise that he began to feel lonely growing up, not to mention that he soon realized that he was not like other people in Kansas. He knew he was different. And there is nothing more that can take down a boy's spirit than to think that they are alone. His parents realized this soon enough and decided it would be a good idea to get him pet, or a friend rather. His father took him to a local pet shop and encouraged him to pick out any dog he wanted. But to his surprise, and slight disappointment, Eric went straight to the cat section of the store and immediately bonded with one cats in the cage. Thus, his father bought him a cat, whom Eric eventually named Alfred Greene.
A few years pass when a thick envelope arrives in the mail, addressed to an eleven year old Eric. And lo and behold, it was the acceptance letter from Gaol, the appraised school of Witchcraft and Wizardry in New York. Eric and his father were estatic at the idea of sending the boy to a boarding school in which he'd be able to be with others like himself. His mother, however, was reluctant to let him go, but along with convincing arguments from the rest of Eric's family, his father and he had won and his mother finally gave in and personally took him to get his supplies.
Upon his first year of attending Gaol, Eric made many friends, even from the other houses. Throughout first couple of years, Eric had developed a reputation, perhaps a more likable one among his peers. He isn't sure what his 7th year of Gaol will entail, but being as it's his last year there, he's going to make sure it's one to remember.
