The Mental;;
Personality: Joseph's Gryffindor traits are so warped that they are hardly recognizable. His bravery has manifested itself as ruthlessness. Joseph would be able to sacrifice others, even loved ones, for a cause that he thinks is worthwhile. His chivalry has revealed itself as a passionate and twisted desire for justice. What truly makes Joseph dangerous is that he lacks the typical impetuous attitude of his fellow Gryffindors. He is capable of making smart, strategic decisions. Joseph is also extremely innovative and resourceful, opting to spend his free time inventing new spells and practicing unexplored branches of magic. Because Joseph grew up reading fantasy novels, his genre savviness knows no bounds. Unfortunately, his novels have also given him a very unrealistic view of the Wizarding World.

Phobias: Fear of flying (afraid to even watch Quidditch) and of death

Background;;
Important Memories: His father taking him on his first Pilgrimage (through three miles of blizzard) when he was nine, receiving his Hogwarts letter, meeting Headmaster Leydenfrost , his first visit to Diagon Alley
Past Lovers/Friends/Enemies: Not Available
Backstory: Joseph’s parents, being Muggle Wiccans, were ecstatic when he received his letter. Headmaster Leydenfrost stopped by their house to give Joseph and his family the run-down about Hogwarts and guided them through Diagon Alley. Headmaster Leydenfrost and Joseph instantly discovered their strong dislike for each other, and have been butting heads ever since. Joseph is convinced that the Headmaster is a Dark Lord bent on taking over the world, and that he himself is the hero who must stop him. He has publically challenged Leydenfrost on numerous occasions and even declared that they are arch enemies. When he got his Hogwarts letter, Joseph expected to find a glorious dominion of Wizards and Witches, one that lived up to everything he had read in his fantasy books. What he found, however, did not live up to his expectations. Joseph discovered that the Wizarding World is corrupt and bigoted. Greatly upset by this, he vowed to change it.
