## Biography

### Early life (1953-1963)

"*This is so boring. Sitting inside /all/ day. Silco, this isn't fair right? Hey Auntie... pourqoui je ne peux pas jouer avec les autres enfants?*"

Mordred spent most of his time inside, locked up in his mansion with his aunt and house-elf Silco. He lived in a muggle neighborhood, and he was not allowed to interact with them too much. They ensured this for Mordred's and the muggle's own safety. So he used other ways to entertain himself, often reading books, drawing, painting, playing music..

He also simply did not have the time to play with the other kids. Whenever he wasn't busy with his hobbies, he underwent rigorous training, which challenged him both physically and mentally. Let's just say he grew up pretty lonely. However, he didn't mind being alone. He was always told that interacting with the other kids would raise the potential of the muggles finding 'it' out. So he thought of them as a nuisance, and simply thought that living like this was for the best.

In his time living with his aunt, he grew fluent in french, having studied the language and spoken it on a daily basis. He also visited France pretty frequently, to meet the grandparents of his mother's side. He loved visiting them, since he grew up lonely. His french grand-parents were loving, and kept him company.

The family on his father's side however, was always very stern towards him, talking about the future of the Moody family whenever they met. He was always taught that they, as fullbloods and members of a prestigous Auror family, should live up their names, that he should set aside unnecessary hobbies and friendships.

Seeing the mistreatment and abuse Silco, his only friend had to go through whenever he made a small mistake made him not want to be like his family. He didn't understand why Silco was considered a lesser being. Silco did nothing wrong he thought. Whenever he asked his Aunt about why people were treated differently based on factors like titles, bloodlines, she vaguely said that the world was just cruel and that he'd understand whenever he was older.

Unlike the rest of his family, his Aunt was tolerable towards Muggles and elves, not treating them harshly. It is because of his aunt that Mordred adopted the ideas that people shouldn't be treated differently based on their bloodline or title.

### Relationships (early life)

##### Parents

Mordreds parents were never there for him, but still pushed a lot of responsibility on him and his brother. He sees them as neglectful people, and thinks that they don't care for him, but only for the Mordred title.

##### Gareth Moody

A figure Mordred looks up to. He wishes to be as resilient and mentally strong as his brother. Unlike his parents, his brother was always looking after him, sending letters everyday eventhough he was busy working as an auror.

##### Silco

Mordreds only friend. Silco taught Mordred everything he currently knows. Eventhough Silco is a mere house-slave, Mordred has respect for the being and does not allow anyone to mistreat him.

##### Aunt

Like his brother, Mordred highly respects his aunt and also strives to be like her.

### Life at hogwarts (1963 - current)

#### First year

"Hmm.. You've got a few screws loose kid! Someone must be crazy to have as much nerve as you! GRYFFINDOR!"

*—* **Sorting hat**

Mordred hoped to step in the footsteps of his older brother, hoping to become a topstudent like he was. His brother was sorted into slytherin however, so he thought his plans were spoiled. Both his parents and aunt were slytherins aswell, he thought it was weird. He didn't let it demotivate him though, he simply wishes himself the best with his time as gryffindor.

### Physical appereance

Mordred has dark hair and emerald green eyes. He has fair pale skin from staying inside too much and freckles on his face. He is of average height for his age and has average weight aswell. Just an average looking boy. He blends in with the crowd quite easily, and has no unusual features that would make him easily noticable.

### Personality

Unlike his appereance, his personality is one of a kind. He mostly grew up bored. For that reason he developped an extremely sarcastic personality. He's always looking for the fun in things in life, making fun of things with his usual sarcastic tone.

Nerve-- it is something he has a lot of. It is often mistaken for ignorance, but Mordred has a few screws loose. He is afraid of little and is prepared to face any consequences to save his friends, because he has so little of them.

He tries smiling alot and is very outspoken. He isn't afraid to speak his mind, often telling you of your flaws if they annoy them. He's also quite fearless, he feels like he has nothing to lose, and if something were to happen, it'd probably be exciting and challenging. Hiding behind his sarcastic smile, is a pretty sly mentality however. Though he is kind by nature, he likes telling people things to make them think certain ways-- you could call it acting. Mordred loves everything art related, that was what he often spent his time on as a child.

Overall, Mordred has a strong sense of responsibilty.
