Jake English | Gryffindor | Sixth Year | Chaser | Captain
-BASICS-
Character Name: Jacob English
Professor or Student?: Student
Age: 16
Year (Students only): Sixth
House: Gryffindor
Wand Wood, Core, and Length: Chestnut, phoenix feather, 11 3/4 inches
Position on the Quidditch Team (Optional): Chaser, Captain
Pet(s): A small pygmy owl named Archimedes.
-LOOKS-
Appearance (100 character minimum): Jake is 5’10 with lightly tanned olive skin, bright green eyes, and a mess of chestnut locks that would rival James Potter’s. Freckles spatter his cheeks from all the afternoons he spends out on his broom, emphasising his aura of boyish charm and immaturity. Of course, English acts like a man when need be, though such moments are few and far between. A grin of some sort nearly always graces his features, to which people find open and welcoming.
In his animagus form, he appears as a black shiba inu, the same as his patronus.

In his animagus form:
-ABOUT-
Personality (200 character minimum): Jake’s an excitable fellow, enthusiastic and friendly, and can be painfully oblivious yet way too self-aware all at once. He’s regrettably rather clumsy when off his broom, and not too shy of rule-breaking shenanigans while with his partner in crime, Dirk Strider. Fondly so, he’s often referred to as a puppy (ironic), most frequently by Dirk. When making acquaintances, he's rarely shy, although when put on the spot, he tends to try and stammer his way out of things. He isn't without his insecurities, mainly those regarding his teeth and public image, although he's much more carefree when around people he trusts. His cousin, Jade, pretends to be his animagus form's owner, as a cover. He and Bec get along swell.
As his animagus-self, he is very sweet, much like himself, although his emotions are far more simplified.
Background (Why Hogwarts? Childhood? Any connections to other characters?): Jake is muggleborn, raised by his parents until he received his Hogwarts letter on his 11th birthday, when his grandmother, a witch, took him in. At school, the most notable connection Jake has is to Dirk, his closest friend since they met as first years, as well as Roxy Lalonde, their shared friend Jane Crocker, and his cousin John. After John's parents passed, Jake found himself with another member in his family's house, to his absolute delight. The pair of them are very close and spent more than their fair share of time together, at least when Jake isn't distracted with his trio of friends. He’s proud of his Gryffindor status, and began playing for their quidditch team when he entered his third year, finally pushed into it by Dirk. His most notable classes are Herbology, Transfiguration, and Care of Magical Creatures, and although he’s an average DADA student, it’s one of his favorites out of all his classes. He's most often found in the Gryffindor Common Room and outside at the Quidditch Pitch.
Jake became an animagus in the middle of his fifth school year, along with Dirk. They are both unregistered, meaning they aren't legally animagi, because the Ministry hasn't been informed. Only Jade and Dave know, acting as their caretakers, and John, which was a complete accident.
Quirks & Et cetera (Anything else you would like to add?): When flustered and/or embarrassed, Jake stammers and emphasises things more than usual, a trait his friends love exploiting. Each morning he forgets to knot his tie in favor of making his way to the Great Hall (and breakfast) as soon as possible.
