Description
Tom Riddle is a boy, roughly 12 years old, of Half-blood, British heritage with pallid skin tone, who stands at 5'1" and is around 100 pounds with an overall aristocratic and stately body type. Short dark chestnut hair is done in a slick and parted style framing an oblong shaped face. With darkly shadowed, sharp steel blue eyes that are set to either side of his wide nose. Below that nose is a wide flared set of lips. The rest of his an oblong shaped face is accented in thin cheeks and a sharp jaw and comes to a blunt chin. Tom Riddle smells of an odd mixture of damp stone and soap. When he speaks the tones and accent of York England can be detected.
At the moment, Tom Riddle is going for a simple and organized style. He wears a ruddy second-hand shirt made of stained grey cotton above dark grey canvas trousers with scraped-coffee coloured, old cowhide boots completing the look.
Background
Little is known about the young Slytherin. He was seen on Platform 9 3/4 being personally put on the Hogwarts Express by Albus Dumbledore. Later that day, during the Hogwarts Sorting Ceremony, the entire school witnessed the Sorting Hat reacting in what could only be described as terror when placed upon his head before it stammered out the word: "S-S-S-Slytherin!"
