height;

other physical traits;
Nothing to note.
clothing style;
He likes to be comfortable and warm, but even though he likes being warm, if it's cold out, you'll more than likely see him outside walking around in just a sweatshirt. He's not a fan of coats and would just rather just throw on a light jacket or zip-out hoodie. He usually wears a pair of jeans, converse, button-up shirts, t-shirts or just whatever he happens to find on his floor or in his trunk that day. Although he doesn't like heavy coats, he will be seen using earmuffs, scarfs and gloves.
what i really meant to say[/font][/blockquote]
is that i'm sorry for the way i am.
good traits;
Ben's nice and caring and is very protective of people that he loves, like his family, but especially of his little sister. He's also a pretty fair flyer and is the Keeper for the Hufflepuff Quidditch team. He's also fairly helpful if he sees someone needs help and isn't afraid to stand up to someone if he sees he's needed to. You can also trust him with most anything because if he makes a promise to not say or do something, he'll keep it to himself. He's really not one to break a promise. He's also fun to be around most of the time and likes to play around, especially when he's supposed to be doing homework.
flaws;
He can be pretty scatter brained sometimes and gets distracted pretty easily if he's not doing something he really wants to be doing. Although he's generally nice; you probably don't want to get on his bad side, because it will be pretty obvious that he doesn't like you and he's not afraid to hit someone. If there's a reason to hit them, more than likely he will, but he won't take it much farther than that. Ben isn't the best at making conversation either. Unless you're talking about something that really interests him. He would rather be doing something fun and that he enjoys than be doing homework or writing an essay, which is one of the reasons he's so easily distracted.
habits;
He tends to shake his hair out of his eyes and face often, shrugs a bit more than he would like and bites his lip a lot as well. He also clicks his tongue sometimes if he can't think of what to say.
three words to sum up your character;
- Over-protective
- Friendly
- Trustworthy
in our family portrait
we look pretty happy.

place of birth;

date of birth;
November 28
brief history;
He was born the middle child in the Holbrooks family on November 28th in Sydney, Australia.
**See Meilana Holbrooks for complete history**
Once they moved to London from Sydney and it was safe to leave the house again aftere Voldemort fell, him and his family became much more settled in, in their house in London, instead of going back to Sydney like they had originally planned. They were all very comfortable where they were and Ben and his two siblings were set to go to Hogwarts, the family decided it best to stay where they were.
Ben grew up looking after his little sister probably more than was needed and they get along really well. He gets along with his brother as well, but seems to get along a bit better with Mei.
He was sorted into Hufflepuff when he arrived at hogwarts and during his fourth year became the keeper for his house team. He loves to play quidditch and to fly, but when it came to doing his schoolwork, he slacked a bit more than he should have. He's been skating along for a few years, but now that he knows just how much time he has left at Hogwarts, he's spending it trying to do better in his classes while still trying to play on the house team.
He's now just eighteen years old and is in his seventh and last year at Hogwarts.
