When it comes to looks there's nothing all that unusual when it comes to Terry, at least nothing that he can see. Terry's about average height for his age with a very slender frame. Though a bit more on the skinny side than he would prefer, Terry tries to keep himself in good shape mostly by jogging and working out with the rest of the Quidditch team. His hair is kept about medium length for a guy. Terry doesn't take a huge account into his appearance as far as fashion is concerned. He's hygienic, of course, but his wardrobe is usually pretty casual when he's not in uniform. A plain tee shirt and jeans most of the time. He doesn't mind formal wear but prefers being comfortable when he can.

As far as facial expressions, Terry doesn't have a huge range. Since he's more comfortable with the less emotion he shows, he tends to be a bit stone faced and it makes it hard to tell what he's thinking sometimes. Some people might find him to seem a bit cold because of this but most of the time he's just being reserved. His eyes are usually intense looking and make him a bit intimidating to some. He does smile sometimes, usually it looks more like a smirk though. Other than that, Terry doesn't have any major physical characteristics that stand out about him. A few items he pretty much always has on hand besides the obvious would be a watch and a woven bracelet made for him by his younger sister.

Quirks/Habits: Over protective-ness, pretending to clear his throat when nervous.
Usually Found: In his room or common room reading or on the pitch.
Likes: Sarcastic humor, simplicity, quidditch, reading.
Dislikes: Arrogance, rich people who don't appreciate anything, abusive relationships, making girls cry.

Terry has a laid back attitude about most things. He’s generally a serious bloke, a bit standoffish, not exactly shy but definitely not an extrovert. Reserved is a good word to describe him. At a party, he’s likely to be the one sitting in the back, merely observing, and having a few intimate conversations. Some may even consider him to be cold and emotionally unavailable at times, but this is usually due to his straight-laced demeanor since he really does have emotions but chooses most times not to show them. But those who really know Terry know he has his snarky, sarcastic side. In fact, much if not all of his humor is based on sarcasm. He may come off as mean or apathetic to some but really he's just reserved with a sharp tongue when he’s annoyed. He typically doesn’t wear his emotions on his sleeve, usually using a smirk where most would use a smile. A real, genuine smile from Terry is used on rare occasions. He has a great poker face. But he’s not completely callous as he may seem. Terry definitely has feelings and you can tell if you pay attention to the what he does and says rather than how he does it. Though he can certainly can be more cynical and pessimistic than most. But he would argue he's simply more realistic. Emotionally he's very gaurded and tends keep away from sensitive subjects such as the absence of his father.

Not only is he booksmart, one of the main reasons for his being a Claw, but he’s also very sharp and thinks quickly on his feet. He’s very adaptable to new situations and dependable in a pinch. Lastly, he’s the kind of guy who would sooner have you thinking he doesn’t care about you or anything but at heart is actually a big softie. He has a good sense of justice and is willing to bend the rules to follow his own moral code. Overall cool-headed and even tempered except on rare occasions. Terry also has a very protective nature especially with girls, having grown up to be the "man of the house" at a young age. He is able to shoulder a lot of responsibility and can perform under pressure which helps him a lot to do well in school. Some of his quirks are that he's somewhat of an insomniac at points, especially when he's under a lot of stress. So many times you can find him up late, most likely reading for pleasure or doing homework. This is what he spends a lot of his time doing when he's not out practicing. He's not huge on the social scene but does have a few close friends.

Home Life

Home: Muggle England.
Parents: Mother -- Adrianne Boot; ~~Father -- David Boot~~ Left the family.
Parents' quirks: His mum is generally a good, likeable person but has a bit of a low self-esteem. Terry's father was an irresponsible man who was frequently both emotionally and physically abusive towards his wife and eventually abandoned his family when Terry was about eight years old.
Siblings: Sister -- Amy (12).
Parent's Occupation: Adrianne is a nightshift nurse. David's current profession, along with his whereabouts, are unknown.
Family History: Terry is the first wizard to be born in his family in three generations. The last known wizard was his great-great uncle whose magical ability was so low that he was basically considered a squib. Before him on the family tree, magical folk appear few and far between so he was quite confused when he got his letter of acceptance. Most of his family is essentially clueless about the magical world. His family includes his mother, Adrianne, who works as a nurse usually during the night shift so she’s often sleeping during the days. Because of this, Terry has a lot of experience with and a sort of fondness for children from babysitting his little sister pretty much every day and especially in the summers. Amy pretty much followed Terry like glue from an early age and hasn't really stopped since. She brings a sort of light atmosphere or innocence to his life that Terry sorely needs and so he's very attached to her and sort of admires her in an obscure way. She teaches him to have fun and not take life so seriously.

Adrianne depended heavily on Terry to help keep things running especially after her husband left, so he’s used to having a lot of responsibility and other people depending on him. He hasn’t seen his father since he was little and has no desire to really since he has a close relationship with his mother and his younger sister, who is now thirteen. Terry's true feelings towards his father have been repressed strongly over the years and even he doesn't realize how much hostility he harbors for the man. He blames his father for not his own shortcomings, but more for the emotional suffering he caused his family especially with his mother.

School Life

Quidditch: Chaser for Ravenclaw.
Favourite Classes: Charms, potions, transfiguration. He generally liked all of his classes about the same.
Clubs: Just Quidditch.
House Prejudice: None. If he doesn't like you, it's because of who you are, not where you come from. Though there are always predispositions, of course, that not even Terry can avoid.
Ambition: Unsure right now.
Hobbies: Quidditch, jogging, reading.

Frowns Upon: Promiscuity, mind games, stupidity, hostility, hypocricy, bossiness.
Past Relationships: Nothing too serious, just a few dates with muggle girls.

Western Astrology

CAPRICORN -- the Quinotaur (half goat, half mermaid/merman). Cardinal, earth, yin - planetary ruler: Saturn. Keywords: "I USE"

Capricorn is the tenth sign of the zodiac and governs the bones, joints, and knees. Positive traits include pragmatism, maturity, patience, determination, awareness, a strong work ethic, realism, discipline, money management, the willingness to overcome hard luck, leadership, initiative, opportunism, prudence, and cunning. Negative traits include pessimism, melancholy, emotional coldness, manipulation, obsession with work and ambitions to the detriment of personal development, remoteness, and materialistic snobbery.

Ravenclaws born under the sign of Capricorn excel at their studies, because they have both a love of knowledge for its own sake and a deep desire to use that knowledge to gain prestige or authority. They are disciplined students with acute perception and shrewd minds; they might take a little longer to reach conclusions than their peers, but their conclusions tend to be more well thought out and thorough. They have dry, ironic wit and are fond of making subtle jokes that only those blessed with intelligence and perception can understand. There's not much that these wizards miss; they usually know what is going on long before anybody else does.
