[[Physical]]
Connor is your average sixteen year old male, his hair is brown in color, usually a little messy and kept in a slightly longish state. His eyes are a soft shade of hazel, a perfect mixture of green, brown and light gray with light black specks circling around the pupils. He is in shape, his body kept toned and athletic through physical activities such as running and Quidditch. Connor weighs in at around 175 pounds, and stands at a height of 6’0” give or take half an inch or so. He has several piercings, two on his right ear and three on his left. He has his lip pierced on the left side of his bottom lip and can hardly ever be seen without some form of lip ring in except while playing Quidditch.
The Slytherin doesn’t have a particular sense of style, he wears things that he thinks look good and match. He usually likes to look neat and tidy, and is usually seen running around in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. His skin is somewhat pale, and generally kept blemish free.
[[Personality]]
Connor is your typical male teenager, he’s shy around some people, and outgoing when he wants to be. He has proved on several occasions that he doesn’t deal well with confrontation and hates to be contradicted. He’s a perfectionist when it comes to schoolwork, not because he wants to be, just because that’s how he is. He often over analyzes situations as well as people around him and the relationships he had with them. This can at times cause him to be judgmental about others actions or views on certain topics.
He’s a rather curious person, wanting answers to questions he has no business asking. He’s stubborn when he doesn’t get his way, but can also give and take as well. He’s a jokester and loves to play around and just have fun with his friends. Connor is both clumsy and careful at the same time, often tripping up over himself or slipping on ice and such. He’s careful in the sense that he analyzes every situation until he arrives at a conclusion. As much as he tries to think everything through though, when the seventeen year old is frustrated he often doesn’t listen to his own voice of reason and acts out irrationally.
He’s motivated in his school work and in his position as Prefect. He’s lenient when it comes to the rules, preferring to bend them slightly rather than break them completely. He’s generally respectful towards teachers and other students unless he feels he’s been crossed.

Connor's History
Connor was adopted by Tera and Charles Manning several days after his birth in Key West Florida. His birth mother, Natalie Break, was fifteen when she had him and wasn’t in a place to raise a child. His father, Michael, was only seventeen at the time and was in no way able to support a child. They both decided that the best thing to do would be to make sure Connor had a secure family that would be able to raise him the right way. This was where Tera and Charles came into the picture. They were in their late twenties at the time, had already previously adopted before and they were ready to expand their family even more. They welcomed Connor into their lives and treated him as if he were their own son.
Connor only had one sibling, his sister Bella who was four years his senior. She too was adopted at a young age but didn’t know. Connor and Bella’s parents weren’t sure how to approach the subject with either of their children, so they never did. It was quite coincidental that they all happened to look like one another, because neither of the children suspected a thing. Growing up in the Keys, Connor experienced a lot of things. The city was rich in different cultures and he loved it. There was always something going on for him to do and he couldn’t get enough. That was why it was such a change for him when his parents Tera and Charles decided that they wanted to move. This broke Connor’s heart a bit because he was so in love with the way of life in Florida even though he was only eleven years old. And it wasn’t as if they were just moving to a different part of the state, they wanted to move to Paris, France. Connor wasn’t looking forward to the change that he knew would occur with their move. He would have to attend a new wizarding school, make new friends all over again, and adjust to a new location. His parents enrolled him into a French class that was made up of all foreigners and he was able to make friends there. He gradually grew to accept the change and even began to like attending Beauxbaton’s.
After three years of schooling at Beauxbaton’s, Connor got into some trouble in school. He had started hanging with the wrong crowd and was getting into some trouble in classes. It got so bad that Connor decided he needed change, and it would have to be the school. His parents had only two options, move to the UK so he could attend Hogwarts school and finish his schooling or go back to the United States. Tera and Charles feared running into their children’s birth familys even though it was unlikely so they decided to move to London. Connor was slightly devastated at having to relocate once again but he knew it would be best for him to have a change of scenery.
[ Pros and Cons : ]
Connor tends to be very impatient. Ever since he was a child he always hated waiting for things, whether it be a new game or waiting for someone to get ready. He prefers to be the one waited on because he knows that as soon as he’s done he can leave and get done whatever needs to get done. It’s one of his quirks, really, because most of the times when he gets annoyed with having to wait someone will make a joke about it or tease him and it makes him feel a little more at ease with having to wait. Most all of the people he has met knows that he is impatient and try not to keep him waiting, it’s one way to get him annoyed at you.
Although he is very open minded, Connor can be stubborn when you try to challenge his beliefs or thoughts. He is stubborn when it comes to pretty much anything about someone trying to change him, whether it be his appearance or ideas in general. It doesn’t go over well to try and make him think something else when he has his mind set one another thing.
People tell Connor that getting your feelings out is a good thing, he just never really got the hang of it. He keeps his feelings to himself most of the time, only sharing them through his actions or activities such as music and art. He hardly ever will directly come out and say ‘ I’m feeling sad or mad ‘ or whatever the case may be. He tries to act as if everything is perfectly fine all the time, even if it’s far from it. For some reason Connor always had the idea that he had to be the strong one, he wasn’t allowed to show weakness if he could help it at all. That led him to not be very open with emotions, and although people tell him that it’s not healthy, he ignores the advice.
Despite all of Connor’s downfalls, he is an easily likeable well-rounded person. He likes to help people and always has. He is a very trustworthy person and keeps secrets very well when he needs to. He likes helping people solve their problems and giving them advice when he can.
One of Connor’s good qualities would be that is he is a really good listener. He always has time to listen to someone who just needs to talk or vent about something that happened to them. He and his sister were actually pretty good friends because he was always there when she needed to talk about school or their parents. He seems to know when it would be good to give advice to someone or just sit and listen.
