{ ASPIRATIONS }
Louis would love to become a researcher of unknown magics and travel the world, learning about hybrids of witches and wizards and other monsters and learning about wild magic and magic that isn't 'on the beaten path' so to say. He'd like to maybe work for the Ministry, or just become an independent researcher if possible, and maybe even come back to Hogwarts someday.

People often read Louis initially as an incredibly shy boy who prefers to keep to himself; this is not strictly factual. Louis is simply very dedicated to only speaking when he has something worthwhile to say, which as you get to know him, you get to find is more often than not a sarcastic remark disguised in sweetness with an air of amusement. A few will read Louis as cruel for his sense of humor, but he means little by it and uses it simply to entertain himself when he's dragged from his books. He tends to not be very affectionate in public, and particularly enjoys hiding behind people he does know. As one gets to know him, he will seem almost haughty until they're alone with him.
When alone with people he cares about, Louis is nearly a different person, he'll curl up against those he enjoys with a book or homework, or just as he tells them about something interesting he read that day, and he'll sling a leg or both over them and simply show quite a bit more affection than he had before. He's still,however, a fiery little guy with a bit of haughty pride to him and who tends to draw the eccentric out of everyone. Terribly blunt, he almost never has problems speaking his mind, and he shows the Gryffindor bravery and stupidity in its purest form. He's scared of almost nothing until it comes to the superficial.
When Louis is upset, either angry or sad, he puts on a glass face of emotionlessness, or a small and somewhat fragile smile. As a strong and somewhat proud boy, he resents being seen like this and he'd rather turn tail than show his weakness. He'll often be found hiding in small spaces and staring at walls when he becomes upset and this is the only capacity in which he can't stand speaking to people.
It's rare Louis will ever lie, he prefers to be quite outright with people, and this has often made him lose friends as well as gain them. He has an innate love for movement and beauty which tie into his love for fashion and dance, both of which Louis mostly keeps to himself, and which have taught him to love observing and taking people in.

Dominique Weasley - 17 - Alive & Well - Student at Hogwarts
Dominique and Louis get along much better than Louis does with the rest of his family. He tends to go to her with his problems and she's one of the few people he'll really truly talk to at this point

Born at Shell Cottage, Louis knew little of the wizarding world outside his home in practice for his entire childhood, but that didn't mean he was entirely shut off from learning about the world outside their safe little haven of a cottage. With frequent visits from their uncles, and occasionally from Harry Potter and his own children, Louis was never short on stories to learn and books to borrow; something which pleased him immensely. He had an intense love for his aunt, Hermione Granger, and when Ron and his children visited, Louis would often spend a longer time with their mother than his cousins. While she was more than a little annoyed by his attention grabbing, she was moreso amused, and always remembered to bring him a book or two.
It was when Louis was young and they went to visit their uncle Charlie that Louis' fear of large animals began; he witnessed a dragon attack the younger of his two elder sisters and injure her rather badly; an incident which led to Louis never again wanting to visit their uncle, and to his intent fear of large animals, which was only exacerbated upon meeting a hippogriff which he approached too quickly in an attempt to walk by and which he was injured by himself, which cemented the fear to a near phobia.
When he was eleven, Louis was accepted to Hogwarts and with some grudgingness, went. He, however, quickly learned to enjoy it at school, something he'd never done in his earlier life. He studied very hard and quickly found his way into the nooks and crannies of magic which he began to fall in love with. Hogwarts became his home as much as the tiny cottage he'd grown up in, perhaps moreso. In Hogwarts he found bravery and his own sense of self. He wants nothing more than to protect it to the death if anything ever happens.
{ WAND }
Thirteen inches, sycamore with thestral tendon, supple. Entirely white-light wood.
{ FAMILIAR }
Silva is Fleur's attempt at getting Louis used to bigger animals; she's a savannah cat kitten which he was given as they left for school this year. The only catch? Louis doesn't know she's a savannah cat, necessarily, and neither does the school. For all they know she's a normal kitten, who's not going to get as big as a savannah cat at all.
