Personality:
Vash Zwingli is a Hogwarts student coming from Switzerland. He’s not very friendly, only being courteous to people he doesn’t know too well. Even closer friends will be subjected to harsh treatment and the occasional bout of paranoia from the Swiss. N-not that he has problems or anything…! He just likes to be careful. His personality is standoffish, with an air of professionalism. Vash does his best to keep such a demeanor to uphold the reputation of the pureblood Zwingli family. It is especially crucial that he does this, because his expected profession isn’t high on his list of things he would want to be. Instead of Auror, Vash would prefer to work professionally as a Divination Expert. Not only is it relatively safer than the Auror profession, it is also less stressful, and he is more interested in the subject of Divination than he is in Defense Against the Dark Arts. Being part of the Ministry...more preferable than Auror, but he finds the job dull. However, it is a job that, with persuasion, he could use it to satiate others' desires for him to ascend to "greatness".
He assumes that everyone is capable enough on their own without help, and dislikes tutoring, giving out answers, explaining himself, etcetera. Why should he bother? This is one of the most famous magical schools, the people who attend should be capable of the work that they have been given. Vash also dislikes getting help from others, but he rarely needs it. He is studious and likes to pretend he has a strong will. He is easily bended by those who know how to take advantage of him. This can be achieved by gaining the favor of someone he cares about. Therefore, with respect to the person, he will be forced to act nicer than he usually is to the person trying to take advantage of him.
As one would expect, he has excellent grades all around. Vash doesn’t expect himself to have a social life, although some people do say that knowing many people and having connections can lead the way to success. Vash personally doesn’t care, and feels that the acquisition of knowledge is infinitely more important and valuable. One of Vash’s major weaknesses is merinthophobia. Merinthophobia is the fear of being bound or tied up. This was caused by an event in the Zwingli household in which one of the servants violently revolted against his master(s). Vash found himself at the wrong place at the wrong time, and was tied/bound to a chair and locked in a room for a lengthy amount of time. Merinthophobia is the only thing that has remained from the incident. It generally does not come out in daily life, as people don’t usually tie people up. However, seeing people being tied up do disturb him.
Dreams:Professional Divinator, or part of the Ministry. Last choice, Auror.
Other things: He enjoys tea; and also enjoys practicing his marksmanship at home with a gun. Vash is also possessive to an extent.
Sample Post:
After a holiday back at home and with his family, it was time to begin the new school year. Vash would be in his 6th year, and this year would be quite important as ever. Before he left, he was administered the hold up the family’s pride speech, a family tradition for every school going child in the Zwingli household. They were a Pureblood family, and prided themselves on their spotless reputation. It was without a doubt that the Zwingli children would also do their best to keep the Zwingli family a family of dignity and perfection.
This year, a gift had been given to Vash. Gifts were given most years, and tended to be practical things like a new robe, an extra binder for school papers, quills, etcetera. This gift had taken Vash by surprise though. The gift was a cat. Cats are independent beings, which Vash supposed was the reason he was given the animal, and wouldn’t need too much worry paid to it. It would keep him company without disturbing him too much, they said, following with a reminder on keeping his focus on his schoolwork.
The cat mewled for attention, because it was stuck in a carrier, and probably did not like being stuck in a carrier. Vash looked down at it, before thanking his parents for the gift. It...was nice, he guessed. He’d end up worrying about what the ball of fur would do; it would no doubt be some nuisance in some way. Before getting on the train to Hogwarts, Vash gave the carrier to the man who put the pets in their designated tram with a stern order to “Be careful”. This was his gift, and he was going to treat Klaas right.
