Description

Sirius Black

Gray eyes, Black hair he tends to grow long when he's depressed and when cut it when things are going well. Very good-looking the aristocratic, somewhat haughty Black good looks.

Personality

True to a Gryffindor student's ideals, Sirius was very brave and loyal, as shown by his participation in both wars and willingness to die for those he loved. He was a talented and clever wizard, though he was also quite an arrogant and mischievous troublemaker in his youth, with a habit of bullying people with his best friend, James, namely Severus Snape. Sirius could be vicious towards those whom he disliked, sometimes unjustifiably; by sending Snape off to the Shrieking Shack as a teenager, he could have gotten Snape killed, he risked exposing his friend Remus' condition as a werewolf, and he risked getting himself and his friends expelled if his "prank" had worked. Despite Sirius' good nature, he has, at times, shown to be capable of an explosive temper when angered. This trait is shared with both his mother, Walburga Black, and cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange. Though Sirius was a kind, loyal, courageous and selfless person, he has also displayed that he could be a hypocrite; though he claimed one's true character became apparent in the way they treated their inferiors rather than their equals, he was cruel to Kreacher, whom he absolutely loathed.

Equipment

The wand of Sirius Black was of unknown length and wood and core materials.

History

Sirius Black III, also known as Padfoot, was a pure-blood wizard, son of Orion and Walburga Black and elder brother of Regulus by a little over a year. Although he was the heir of the House of Black, Sirius disagreed with his family's belief in blood purity and defied tradition when he was sorted into Gryffindor instead of Slytherin at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which he attended from 1971 to 1978. As Sirius' relationship with his relatives deteriorated, he gained great friendship in James Potter, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. The four friends, also known as the Marauders, joined the Order of the Phoenix to fight against Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters during the First Wizarding War. Sirius was the last remaining heir of the House of Black, a once-notable pure-blood wizarding family. His parents, Orion and Walburga, were both Blacks by birth and second cousins. Sirius had a younger brother, Regulus, who died after turning against Lord Voldemort in 1979 by attempting to destroy his Horcruxes. He was killed by the Inferi guarding one of his Horcruxes
