Description
Zayn, stands striking at about five feet seven inches tall. He has a athletic and muscular build for someone his size. He appears to be in his mid teens and of Middle-Eastern ethnicity. His black hair cascades wildly down his face, creating a bed headed look. His eyes are dark brown, though warm and inviting, a air of seriousness seems to lurk inside of them. His skin is smooth and has a slight tan tint to it. His face is cleanly shaven with attractive features, a strong brow and chin with a small cleft.
At the moment Zayn is wearing a Hogwarts, School of Witchcraft and Wizardry uniform. Rather notable by the green and silver colouring he must have sorted into House Slytherin. A grey vest edged in green and silver covers a crisp white Oxford shirt, buttoned from the belt to the collar and accented with a green tie with narrow silver stripes. The shirt is tucked neatly into matching gray trousers that fall to the tops of black shoes. Over all of this flows a voluminous black robe lined in soft Slytherin Green fabric, unadorned except for a silver snake slithering over a green background with a silver chevron sewn over the heart.
Wand
Twelve and one fourths inches, acacia, solid, with a unicorn hair core.
Pet
Zayn has an Indian eagle owl named Cable. He is a rather moody and temperamental thing and he bites…hard.
Background
Zayn Arshad Shafiq was born in London, to Raful Arshad Shafiq who had married and Marie-Elise Winters Travers. Zayn is the only son to the Eldest of his brothers Raful and will be considered the head of the Shafiq family, once it is his time. While Marie-Elise is a home maker, Raful is the Owner of Harpy Radios Incorporated. The Shafiq family motto is, "Giving Back and Paying It Forward" so it is no wonder they are known as a compassionate, though one thing many people do not know about the Shafiq family is that, though they are known for generous donations, they only take what they need from their income, the rest is returned to employees, charities and educational establishments, such as Hogwarts and W.A.D.A.
Zayn however grew up in a rather simple life, he got what he needed. As he grew he learned the importance of Family, Generosity and Modesty. He decided from a very young age that he would walk a life, devoid of violence. As violence leads to anger and anger leads to hate. Soon after adopting this policy, his letter from Hogwarts arrived. He was sorted into Slytherin, though the Sorting Hat had a hard time placing him, it decided that due to his Ambition to help mankind and his desire to accomplish this no matter what, that he would achieve great things in Slytherin.
His first few years at Hogwarts he was rather quiet, though liked by most of his House mates and year mates. Though in the midst of his third year, people found out that it wasn't that Zayn was shy, but just observing. He suddenly opened up and became a rather social person, well liked by most, though he did get a slight reputation during his fourth year as a flirt. He was made a Prefect before the start of his Fifth year, due to how he conducts himself. Though most like him, many know that he accepts the responsibility as a Prefect very seriously.
