Jeremy Quentin Whelk || "Jem" || Eighteen [18] || Witch || Heterosexual
Jeremy was born to a witch and a human. Luckily for him, the witch was his mother, and thus he still has a decent competence with magics. His best subject is, by far, potion brewing. Even regarding normal classes, he has always had a fondness for chemistry and chemicals and the way things mix and react with each other, this love even going towards people as well, often. His prowess with potions is virtually unmatched by others in his age group, and he prides himself on his ability to bottle fame, brew glory, and even stopper death. Much like other witches in the community, he makes some of his money by selling his potions, which are considered the best in town. Unfortunately, he's never been much for rituals or transfiguration, but he's also quite passable at charms and the like. His mother is one of the most respected witches in town, due to a long lineage of powerful witches, and he has inherited some of those gifts- along with a good amount of disappointment about the fact that they only had a son, never a daughter to carry on the family name.

Most people who know Jem will agree that he has a somewhat volatile personality, able to go from one end of the spectrum to the other at the drop of the dime. He doesn't have Bipolar disorder, or if he does, it's undiagnosed, but it's quite clear that his emotions aren't always completely stable. On one hand, he is childish and sweet, a hopeless romantic with a dimpled smile that gets people to trust him. And he really is quite trustworthy, most of the time, rarely lying and almost desperate to please people due to a craving for affection. There is a reason for his extroversion, and it has everything to do with the fact that he loves to be around other people. He just loves people in general. But, perhaps he loves them too much.
Jem has the tendency to invest himself wholly in friendships and relationships and the like. He doesn't do half-way acquaintances, really, and he's a bit too quick to put himself on the line for others. A small self confidence has him devoting himself to friendships and relationships because he's always believed that other people are far more worth it than he is. He's an extremely empathetic person, to the point where he seems to experience the same pain and joy as others just by watching them go through such feelings. He hates to see other people hurt, because it hurts him, and deeply so. He has always tried to keep this side under wraps, but it sometimes gleams through. When he loses friends, or goes through a breakup, or anything along those lines, Jem tends to become depressed very quickly. Other people are his life, and losing them is like losing a piece of himself.
The last paragraph aside, he genuinely is a nice person, with some emotional problems at time, whom makes friends easily and is incredibly loyal and willing to put the needs of others before himself. He is a fan of random acts of kindness and large romantic gestures and making people smile.
{"The past is in the past- but I keep seeming to pull it back out again."}
This can be relatively brief, but at least one paragraph
