Character Background:
Likes:
Music: particularly playing the piano, though he’ll play other insterments if the mood suits him. He’ll neglect his homework in favor of writing music.
Cake: Roderich likes cake, and baking fancy little things. Though the kitchen will likely be an utter mess afterwards, but the things he bakes are delicious and beautiful.
Pretty, Elegant Things: He likes being in elegant surroundings.
Dislikes:
The Outdoors: Particularly the seashore. While he’ll go outside and sit on the lawn, if asked to, good luck getting him to go to the lake side or forest. He’ll just come up with an excuse to not go.
Spending Unnecessary Money: While Roderich has tons of family money, he still doesn’t like spending money on trivial things. That said, he’ll spend all sorts of money on music and on friends to prove he’s not a cheap ass.
Messes: Roderich is a naturally tidy person and messes will drive him crazy.
Nicknames: He will only respond to his full name, and will ignore anyone who does give him a nickname.
Personality: Roderich comes off as a cold, haughty person. This is a result of his aristocratic upbringing. This doesn’t mean he doesn’t have fun, just his idea of fun is different from other peoples. He’d prefer to sit inside and have tea, than a picnic on the lawn with a group of friends.
On afternoons when he doesn’t have homework, and sometimes when he does, Roderich can be found in the Room of Requirement playing the grand piano he keeps there. This piano is Roderich’s most valuable possession. There have been rumors that Roderich’s attachment to it is more than is deemed healthy.
Pet?: Yes, An elegant, fluffy, white cat named Marie.
Background: Roderich was born to well to do pure blood family in Vienna. He was spoiled by his parents and received education from the best tutors money could buy in Austria, though he’d frequently skip out on his lessons to play the piano. His parents wanted him to join them in “society” but he gave them one condition. That he would go to University and have several years of “freedom” before joining them.
His father holds a high advisor position in the Austrian Ministry of Magic. Roderich is supposed to take over for his father when he retires, a fate which Roderich doesn’t particularly care one way or the other as long as he can still do music.
Relations with other characters:
Hungary: They had a thing in the past. She dumped him cause he spent more time with his piano then her. Then he realized what he lost, and regrets not treasuring her while he had her.
Sample:
Roderich wasn’t particularly excited to come to university. It was a stay of execution if anything. He severely doubted that he would be allowed to continue staying in and doing his music once he joined the Austrian Ministry.
His biggest disappointment was that he couldn’t bring Annaliese, his piano. Shrinking charms aren’t kind to delicate insterments and besides Roderich knew he wouldn’t have room in his dorm for her anyways. The posh Austrian made a note in his journal, “find a decent piano.” This trip was droll; being stuck on a train with the regular people and no one to talk to.
Roderich gazed out the window at the passing landscape; he was pondering (not daydreaming, an Edelstein never daydreamed) what he would do when he got to the castle. Obviously, there would be the sorting, he didn't rightly care where he was sorted, followed by the feast. The Austrian's pondering was interrupted by a faint mew. His violet eyes came to rest on the basket carrying his beloved cat, Marie. At least he was able to bring her, a small comfort from home. "Ohhh, apologies, Marie. I forgot how you hate to be contained." He reached over and released the catch with his slim fingers, allowing the feline to exit her cage and stretch out. Roderich resumed looking at the landscape, his hands absently stroking Marie's fur as she curled up beside him.
