Short to medium, various styles, black.
Black.
Arden has a pure Japanese look as it was the major of his heritages, but if looked closely, one can tell that he does share some Western features on his face as with his American - Japanese father. Nonetheless, he is considered to be a handsome boy. Arden is slender and has typical fair complexion. He has a tattoo in the shape of a right wing on his right shoulder, which makes up for a set he shares with his lover, Leonard.
Arden is a self-proclaimed fashionista and he often boasts that once he had dressed up to the finest, no one can tell whether he is a Muggle or a wizard, which is quite true. There is no end to Arden's style and you can expect him to walk out of his room in a total new look everyday. Though he tends to follow simple but energetic and youth choices of wardrobe, neither too much nor too little. Even when he is dressed formally for his duty he can still stand out.

LIKES; Arden absolutely adores all animals and creatures, be them magical or not. They are his second favorite. The first one is, obviously, the warmth of Leonard's body, which he can cuddle in to his heart's content. He loves to eat food as much as he loves to make them, which he tends to make without magic as he believes it would be more meaningful that way. Arden also likes musical instruments and can play some of them quite well, much in contrast with Leonard.

DISLIKES; There is nothing that Arden dreaded more in the world than History of Magic. He thought it was already bad back in Mahoutokoro, but in Hogwarts it was way worse. He dislikes complication and prefers thing to be in a simple, straightforward way. That's why Transfiguration isn't the best of his forte. The only creatures Arden would be staying away from would be spiders and mice of all species. And lastly, he detests bullies and blood supremacists as much as the next guy.

Arden can be described as both a nurturer and a caregiver. Once you have become someone important to him, or just someone happened to walk by his life, you can be assured that you will always have a person to turn to when you are in need. He will give you a small cookie and tell you that it's gonna be fine. Helpful and ever caring of the feelings of others, Arden is someone you can place your trust on wholly, as he will do his best to help you find solutions to your problems, and your appreciation is enough of a reward for him.
As they said, House Hufflepuff is the place 'where they are just and loyal', and this are also Arden's most shining aspects of his personality. He firmly holds a sense of justice that all wrongdoings must be corrected by someone, and that there is no purpose in making the world a worse place than it already is. Always upholding a clear morale that prevents him from straying from his path, he is confident in all the steps he is making in his life. And while one may question anything about Arden, they may never question his loyalty and faithfulness, be it for a simple friend, his family, his lover and Hogwarts.
But there are reasons for the Sorting Hat to stalled during Arden's Sorting, after all. Although his amicable exteriors made him seem like a subject for people to take advantage of, he is perfectly aware of his self-worth and never would allow someone to take him for granted. He had had instances where his courage and chivalry were shown, such as when he rallied his House to fight during the Battle of Hogwarts, defending and standing firmly alongside his lover, Leonard, on the front line, making it through the war with little more than a few cuts and bruises. He is proud of his upbringings, and won't hesitate to fight back if anyone talk down on him or his closed ones.

C A R E _O F _M A G I C A L _C R E A T U R E S
Arden's family owns a farm that cares for magical creatures that are in need and help them to rehabilitate before they are released back into the wild, and with frequent visits ever since he was a small kid, Arden has vast knowledge of both magical and non-magical creatures, as well as the appropriate way to take care and approach them without bringing harm to both sides. People often say that Ardem had some kinds of aura that can attract and calm a majority of animals, including some of the more hostile species.
D E F E N S E _A G A I N S T _D A R K _A R T S
Another subject of Arden's interests. Much like his attunement with magical creatures, he was also regarded as having a 'knack' for repelling dark spells even back when he was younger. This is further enforces by the fact that Arden's parents had been teaching him and his siblings the importance of self-defense themselves the moment their affinity for magic surfaced. He is hoping that one day he may invent counter spells for some of the most sinister curses out there. This is also a testament of his strength in dueling, and a reason he became a Prefect.
H E R B O L O G Y
With his mother being a talented healer, Arden also inherited from her a passion for herbs and their wondrous healing proprieties. As much as magical creatures, Arden is also quite a 'geek' when it comes to magical herbs and has great understandings for the majority of them. This also allows Potions subject to come naturally to him.
W E A K N E S S E S
H I S T O R Y _O F _M A G I C
The most exhausting dreadful of mess that has ever come into existence, or so Arden says. There is nothing in the world that can bores him more easily than this subject and the seemingly boring, old-fashion style of teaching it seemed to have become a trend for all magical institutes worldwide. With almost no tolerance for having to remember every single detail in an encyclopedia-size History book, Arden may not have even achieved a Poor if Leonard isn't around.
F L Y I N G
Even now, Arden still feels pretty insecure about his inability to ride a broomstick, and the fact that both of his siblings are prominent Quidditch players could only add insult to injury. It took him a whole year for his broom to finally listen to him, and another to maneuver it without slamming himself into Mt. Fuji. So, when he needs to travel, riding a broom would be the last option when absolutely necessary.
A R T S
Arden often teases Leonard for the fact that his lover is absolutely horrendous with any musical instruments out there, but little did he himself aware that his own handwriting and drawings aren't any better. His siblings tend to make fun of this but only behind his back and Leonard is simply too sensible to point it out for him, so it might took a while for him to realize it.
Q U I R K S
Despite being more outgoing and sociable than his lover Leonard and his other two siblings, Arden doesn't usually smile much. But it is hard to consider him a stern person even at the first impression because of his bright personality. However, this changes completely when he is around Leonard. He tends to be quite clingy and cuddly with his boyfriend. Not when there are lots of people, of course, considering Leonard isn't comfortable with it. At times Arden can also be caught spending hours sitting in the garden simply to gaze at the flowers, or confiding with his familiar, Yuki.
H O B B I E S
With so many businesses that Arden has to tend to, it was surprising that he could even find time for hobbies. But when he doesn't have to, he can be found socializing with his fellow Hufflepuffs, walking around the greenhouses to have better overview of the magical herbs got in stored there or getting to immersing in the bountiful nature around Hogwarts. But of course, simply having a 'date' with Leonard in their 'secret hideout' is already enough to make Arden's day.
F A T H E R, Christian Shinomura. A 49-year-old wizard of American and Japanese origins. His parents divorced when he was young and lived with his mother in the States for 17 years until she died of Dragon Pox, and was taken back to Japan by his father, as well as raised by him to inherited the Shinomura Workshops - one of the largest wand shops in the wizarding society of Japan. With a passion for wandlore and a gift for wandmaking, Christian soon become a renowned wandmaker when he inherited the shop. A caring husband and a responsible father, he often takes care of his children when his wife is busy with her work. He understands that not all of his children share the same passion he has for wandmaking, and encourages them to follow their own paths. Because of this, Arden greatly appreciates his father and loves him dearly.
B R O T H E R, Taki Shinomura. A 23-year-old wizard who graduated from Mahoutokoro School of Magic. He is widely known as one of the former leaders of Japanese National Quidditch team and is now currently a trainer of younger Japanese Quidditch players, including his sister, as well as the next in line of inheritance of their family's workshop. Taki often makes fun of Arden's inability to ride a broom, and is a true prankster at heart, who had no less than ten times got in trouble with the faculty of Mahoutokoro. However, at heart, he is a responsible man and cares greatly for the welfare of his two younger siblings. Arden, though often annoys with his brother's antics, looks up to him and knows that Taki is a man he can rely on.
S I S T E R, Mizuka Shinomura. A 16-year-old witch currently studying at Mahoutokoro School of Magic. Like her elder brother, Taki, she is also a prodigy at playing Quidditch, and became a notable face for earning a spot in Japanese's best Quidditch team - the Toyohashi Tengu, despite her young age. She is the first person in their family to find out about Arden's relationship with Leonard, and helped both of them to come out before their departure to Hogwarts, which went by easier than they thought thanks to her. Arden often protected Mizuka when she was smaller from bullies and cares for her a great deal, and was grateful that she was supportive of his relationship. Now, he still keeps regular contact with her to get in touch with what is going on in Japan.

When he was 13, while studying magic at Mahoutokoro School of Magic, Arden encountered a reserved and studious boy of the same age as him named Leonard who was treated pretty much as an outcast by others, despite his excellent grades at school. For some reasons he could not exactly tell back then, he wanted to be closer to the boy and get to know about him, as well as pulling him out of his shell. So, he made the efforts of spreading the rumors that the both of them are rivals for the top position of their year, which was not totally untrue as Arden only came seconds to Leonard by a short margin. He finally managed to catch the boy's attention and despite his salty attempts at pushing him away by calling him an 'immature brat' times and times again.
Leonard eventually had to give in as he slowly became more open about himself, to both Arden and his fellow peers. The boy was accepted again back into the circles of friends thanks to Arden who never stopped pestering and following him everywhere. Two of them began to share a close bond that steadily lost its' gaps as the more time they spent together passed by. Eventually it became affection and then love as they both confessed their feelings to each other. Nothing could possibly separate them afterwards and there not a single moment at school that they were not together.
Few years later, Arden and Leonard signed up for an exchanging program between Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in England and Mahoutokoro. Not surprisingly, both of them were picked as they bid their old school and family farewell to travel to the far unknown land they have never been to before. Upon their arrival, Arden was Sorted into House Hufflepuff while Leonard belongs to House Ravenclaw, and they continued to amaze the professors and their new friends with their exceptional study prowess they have already achieved. Though each of them has their own duties to tend to, Arden and Leonard were still as 'smitten' with each other as when they first realized their love for one another.
Then, came the Second Wizarding War, with the climax of it taking place at Hogwarts itself. Despite knowing what risks he had to face, Arden still stood vigilantly along with his House as he rallied them to fight under the banner of the Dumbledore's Army. Watching his fellow wizards dying at the hands of the Death Eaters had left strong impressions that still haunt him at nights. But Leonard and Arden were never apart during the whole battle as they fought to defend each other. Victory was eventually theirs and, although the casualty was immeasurable, the Dark Lord is now gone for good. The war could only strengthen the bonds between them even more as they made it through nearly unscathed thanks to one another.
In the aftermath, Hogwarts is currently in much unrest as new feuds rise up and the face of the entire school is about to change forever. Arden's graduation day is at clock ticking away now, but for the school that had brought him so many precious encounters and memories, he is ready to do one last standing to set all wrongs right again.
