Ly stands an inch shorter than his brother, which is the largest difference between the identical twins. He is pale skinned, with only a few freckles appearing over summer. Lysander has his father's dark hair and bright blue eyes. His hair is usually pushed back from his forehead, as he tends to idly comb his fingers through it when he's reading or nervous. Though, his brother will also come and correct Ly's hair if it's too much of a mess. He's lean, with an academics physique rather than a sportsman's.

Wearing his robes has never been a favourite of Lysander's, nor does he particularly like ghosts gliding through him, it always leaves him feeling cold and slightly queasy. Speaking of, Ly doesn't like being cold, unlike his twin, he feels the cold easily. Detentions aren't anybody's idea of fun, though unfortunately Lysander gets a few for constantly forgetting to wear his robes at school. Toads give him the creeps, and he tends to avoid being the centre of attention. Potions is probably Lysander's least favourite subject as he tends to lack the preciseness and concentration to add ingredients as required. Food with custard fillings aren't Ly's thing at all, nor is pumpkin juice.

As an identical twin, Lysander has spent his life being compared to and linked with Lorcan. He loves his brother more than anything, but there have been times when the pair have been thought of as a single entity, where because one twin has one trait, the other is assumed to have the same. This, obviously, is not the case, and while the twins do share many similarities, their differences make them their own person.
Lysander is the quieter twin; a reserved young man prone to forgetfulness and the same head-in-the-clouds dreaminess that affects his mother. As a child he was the one who needed to be held firmly by the hand, least he get lost chasing after flying mufflehoofs. He's slightly more grounded at sixteen, more likely to get lost in a good book than chasing after some fancy. Though, on more than one occasion he's taken a wrong turn in the school hallways while his nose is stuck in a book and found that he's somehow made his way up a tower rather than to dinner in the great hall. Lysander has had to charm most of his belongings too so that they appear on a little map whenever he loses one - which seems to happen a lot. Things get really difficult when he misplaces the map.
For all that, there's no denying Ly belongs in Ravenclaw. He's smart, with a mind like a sponge for absorbing new information and facts. He excels in most of the book subjects, while also showing promise in the more hands on classes like Care of Magical Creatures. Though, he might have an advantage there, given that both his parents are Magizoologists. While he might rarely have the confidence to interject into another group's conversation, he'll likely be adding little facts to their discussion in his head while he pretends to focus on his own work. When he's alone, Ly usually doesn't initiate conversation with others unless he knows them well. He's shy, preferring to stick to the people he's comfortable with. Being pushed into the middle of new crowds leaves him nervous; scared that he'll say the wrong thing.
Ly might not be the loudest, but he's a genuine friend when his trust is gained. He'll smile easily around friends, his nerves easing and a happy humour coming out. Affectionate and caring, Ly hates seeing those he cares about upset. He might not always have the wisest words to help them through it, but he'll always offer a shoulder to cry on and a hug of support.
