Nathaniel Rhomas"Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you've got to make yourself."
-Alice Walker
Appearance
After the disdain of his roots coming through, Nathaniel has had his hair cut and shortened. It has also been put back to its original colour, Chestnut Brown, after many times of it being dyed different colours. That includes: Black, Blonde, Radish Red and a Cerulean Blue. He has dull, Sapphire eyes, which lie on a pale complexion. He is roughly 5”7’/1.7 meters and is quite thin, giving him a sort of ‘lanky’ look. His rounded shoulders and lack of facial hair growth makes him stand out to the others in his year. As the sun peaks back for Summer, he has started to aquire a slight tan and loosen up on his choice of clothing.

About
Nathan comes from Abbeyleix in Ireland, although, he speaks with no distinct Irish accent. He was once the school’s Ravenclaw Male Prefect, and many people will know that he was once eager to get the Head Boy position.
Many will know his soft spots when it comes to helping out polite First Years, and his sweet tooth for Chocolate. Concerning magic, he seems to be better at practical work rather than sitting down at a desk and writing. His wand (Apricot Wood, Unicorn Mane Hair core, 11 1/2 inches) when not being used for work, tends to gather dust.
The Rhomas children are not much like their parents. Will, the oldest, is currently living in France with his long term girlfriend. Bernadette, "Bernie," is the youngest, and is actually adopted. She always has a smile on her face, and often spends time sitting outside in the sunshine reading autobiographies of various celebrities. At sixteen years old, she attends the local muggle school- simply due to the fact that she was born without any magical powers to a pureblood family, who in turn, disowned her. She does not appear to be vastly unintelligent like the stereotypical squib.
In his spare time...
When you first see a poster for a music festival, chances are Nathan already has tickets. If someone was to look through the desk in his room, they'd find a list of items that Nathan brings to every festival along with some handy tips. There's just that something about the accoustic rhythm, passion for music, and lengthy nights singing the lyrics to your favourite song at one in the morning that gets his heart racing. Some of Nathan's hobbies include: dancing, reading, lazing out in the sun with friends, shopping for clothes, rewarding obedient students, and smiling. A few of his treasured memories are when he and his friends have gone camping- if anyone ever asks if he wants to go camping, he'll be back with a tent in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Life and Friendship
After leaving Hogwarts, Nathan took up an apprenticeship at Madamoiselle Magdalena's Divining House in East London. He lives in an apartment with his close friend Carl Chaslyn.There's a few people that he loves very dearly and would do anything for them. Adrian C.H. Card III, Amber Raind, Mary Maywell, and Myth Windoliana are the people he's closest to. He would die for any of them. Time and various events have seperated him from them, but it doesn't deter his feelings at all.
Heroes and Heroines
Whoopi Goldberg
Nathan thinks of Whoopi as almost as a goddess. He feels that she is one of the most talented, nicest people to walk the eath. After watching A Knight in Camelot he is convinced she is secretly a witch and acts for a living in the muggle world for fun and because she has the freedom to do so.
Siobhan Donaghy
He first began to like Siobhan when hearing her song Ghosts. The etheral sounding tune caught in his mind, and he bought her album. She was simply another singer until Nathan actually met her in person during a Music Festival. He found her to be a brilliant role model, and such a great person. He's vowed to meet her again someday, somehow.
Lorcan d'Eath
Apart from being a completely and utterly drop-dead gorgeous, Lorcan writes very catchy-pop songs which appeal directly to Nathan. He first got the supposed half-Vampire's album Bite as a 'cheer-up' present when he was going through some rough times. Through playing it loudly from his Prefect Room after hours, he got quite a few other Ravenclaws hooked on d'Eath too.
