Height: 6'7"

Skin: Pale, white.
Clothes: Often wears sweaters, even in the summer. Is nicknamed "Sweater" by most people for this reason. Wears slacks, loafers, and is never seen without his glasses because he is practically blind without them. Sometimes wears a fedora and a scarf if it's particularly cold.
Overall Appearance: Percival appears somewhat intimidating to others due to his enormous height and his often stern face, but he takes the jokes about it in stride. He likes to dress warmly, even if it's already warm outside, "just in case". His appearance is somewhat unkempt because he always feels like he's in a hurry and always has a place to be.

Nationality: British
Good Qualities: Brave, chivalrous (especially towards women), values others over himself, witty, extroverted.

Likes: Cinema, gossip, deer, talking, parties, drinking, mischief, telling jokes.
Dislikes: People who are rude to him, being insulted, when plans backfire on him, working, sad people (he tries to cheer them up).
Fears: Death, heights (ironically).
General Personality: Percival is pretty much the life of the party, and he knows it. He is a bit flamboyant in his behaviour, and will stop at very little to crack a joke or two wherever he is. Although he has learned to take jokes about his height and his sweaters, he still can't take any other kind of insult or rudeness, and will often show how offended he is. He enjoys spending time with friends, and can make friends easily.


Early Years: Percival's family was torn apart by a feud between the Arrows and the Anchors, which tore apart Salix and Fletcher, resulting in Salix taking Percival's twin brother Patrick with her. He spent his childhood alone. Because he was left alone for hours on end, he developed a sense of adventure to make up for the fact that he had no one to play with.
Hogwarts Years: Percival had been sorted into Gryffindor house when he attended Hogwarts. At school, he made some more friends, but was never really included in the "cool kid" activities. He often spied Patrick in his classes, though never lived alongside him because Patrick was sorted into Ravenclaw. Although Percival was more than eager to reunite with Patrick, the same couldn't be said the other way around. Percival showed how courageous he could be when he saved a fellow student during a Care of Magical Creatures class that went wrong.
After Hogwarts / Adult: At age 24, Percival learned that his cousin Stephen was born. When he met his young cousin, he bonded with him immediately. Now that Stephen attends Hogwarts, Percival acts as a personal tutor towards him when he is not busy doing something else. He still seeks Patrick and wishes to reunite with him, and often stays up at night and loses sleep over missing his twin brother.
