BASICS.
Name: Leonard Simon Burkowitz
Nickname / Alias: Lenny
Age: 15
Gender: Male
PERSONALITY.
General Personality: Lenny, by all accounts, is a geek. There is not a Auror alive (or dead) who he hasn't read about at least at some point. Amiable, well intentioned, but...a touch of a goof. He is the sort of person who pursues his passions wholeheartedly, and is more than willing to help out a friend - even if it is something he's less than capable at. He absolutely despises letting others down, so he's been prone to agree to less-than-wise activities just to avoid telling someone 'no.' It's a fault that has gotten him hurt once or twice. If you befriend him, then for better or worse, he'll be with you through thick or thin if you ask him.
APPEARANCE.
Hair Color / Style: Short, black, wavy, just a little bit greasy. The lad puts absolutely NO effort into styling his hair whatsoever. A few passing attempts have been made into grooming, but they've all failed incredibly.
Eye Color: A very bright green.
Ethnicity: American-Italian
Prominent Features: Leonard's a bigger kid. It's not that he's particularly fat, or unhealthy, he simply enjoys eating, and subsequently working it all off. He's soft to say the least, but it covers a fair amount of muscle. He's like an overgrown, shaved teddy bear - soft to hug, but can still lift you like a twig. That being said, "beefy" is a more adequate term. He's not particularly dextrous, which means that fragile things should be kept as far away from him as humanly possible if you want them to survive unscathed. His head is somewhat more box-shaped, and he has particularly thicker eyebrows. His nose is a touch flat, however. This is due to a nasty little incident regarding a broomstick when he was very young. Like it was said - he has severe difficulty saying "no" even when an idea is clearly stupid.
Other: Kid smells like honey. Don't know why. Don't know how. But he does. It's awesome.
DETAILS.
House: Hufflepuff
Year: 5
Wand: 8 Inch, Grindylow "Lamp" core, Knotted Red Oak - big and thick and not easily broken, perfect for him.
Companion / Pet: A magical Pelican named Humphrey.
HISTORY.
General: Lenny comes from an interesting background. An American Squib married an Italian Auror. His father, a traveling broomstick salesman met his mother - the Auror - in a lovely fraud case involving faulty broomsticks. By some twist of fate, they fell in love and married - after the suit was cleared of course. So it was that Lenny's childhood was a combination of travel, impassioned arguments between his parents, and lessons of ingenuity and magical law.
Even among wizarding families, the Burkowitz family was a touch bizarre. Lenny's father focused on encouraging the boy's creativity and charm, while his Mother inspired his fanboyism of Aurors - teaching him and wholly urging him towards that career choice later on. They went from place to place, Lenny managing to find friends wherever they went - who always found a way to get him into some sort of trouble.

Lenny isn't a great student. In fact, he often has a bit of trouble finding the time to really get down and study. However, he does have a strange affinity for curses and counter-curses - likely due to the tutelage of his mother. He finds the whole study fascinating.
