Appearance[/u]
Character Representation: Milo Ventimiglia
Hair Description (include color, style, etc.): Colton has dark brown, straight hair. Usually he just lets it do what it wants, because it can be a bit unmanagable. It's a bit shaggy and when he's bored he likes to shake it, just to see how badly it gets rumpled up.
Eye Description (color, other description): Before, he was bright, happy and carefree. Green eyes sparked and shone with an inner light, making it seem as though he were eternally laughing at some inward joke. But now, even when he tries to smile, even around his best friends, his light has extinguished and bright emeralds have turned to dull molten green-ish grey.
Physical Appearance (height, build, etc.): Since the ripe young age of four, Colton has been dragged around the Quidditch pitch by his older brother, whom wanted him to play. David taught him to be passionate about the sport and he has taken it upon himself to train for it and push himself to the highest extent in order to make the team every year. Because of all the years of hard training and practice, striving to make Beater every year, Colt, while tall and skinny, is exceptionally strong and muscular. Hitting around Bludgers will do that to you. He stands at 5'10".
Predominant Feature(s) (anything really i. e. scars, etc.): Besides his unbelievably good looks, no. xD
Clothing (colors, style, etc.): Colton is a pretty casual dresser. Usually, if not in his hand-me-down, secondhand robes from his brother, he can be found in a pair of trousers and a Ravenclaw or a polo shirt. He doesn't usually tie his blue and silver striped tie, (at least not correctly) but sometimes Delilah makes him.
Mind Set
Sexual Preference: straight.
General Attitude: While most of him has now grown bitter with hurt and pressure, there is still a small part of Colton that wants to truly be happy again. That part of him, however, is locked deep inside and is desperately trying to claw its way to the surface of his being. But each time new stress and hurt is added to the load, another part of his heart freezes over and makes it that much harder for him to be normal again.
Anger is a big issue with Colton. Feeling the need to be perfect all the time, Colt bottles up all of his feelings, keeping them shut deep inside him. He ignores the pain, frustration and anger until it finally builds up so much that one small thing will make him snap and out of nowhere he'll do something terrible. Slowly, some of the feelings will leave him until he is back to herself and absolutely horrified at what he has done. These occasions are rare, but when they happen, they shake everyone around him, including himself, so badly that he knows that none will ever be the same again.
Strength. This has to be one of Colton's most outstanding good qualities. Though he suffers from a constantly troubling past and frustration building within him, Colton has still managed to be strong and loyal to his friends and schoolwork. He would drop everything in an instant to help a friend or family member in need, doing whatever he could to ensure their safety. Helping others, he concludes, is only just another way of being perfect. Perfect people look out for others before themselves and that's exactly what he intendes to do.

History (Three well written paragraphs at least)
Colton's past has been difficult. At the tender age of fifteen, his beloved mother was murdered by none other than his father. Daniel Riley was was sent to Azkaban, undoubtly for his crime, after being convicted guilty. The event shook Colton and his older brother David to the core, and Colt was sent to live with his maternal grandmother Elizabeth Davis. His brother, David, had already graduated and was living on his own, barely scraping by. He didn't want the burden of his younger brother to be a hindrance in his new, independant life. Colton has come to despise his power-hungry, greedy father, whom simply took his mother's life out of self-prosperity. Rumors of the increasing danger overseas simply got to the selfish man, and he became so engrossed in his power trip that he was reduced to obeying his orders and killing his wife, and very nearly his two sons.
Colton has been a bit anti-social for a while now, and for good reason. Having lost his best friend of nearly eleven years due to her untimely move; after that he really never connected with anyone else. He never thought he'd see Delilah Simon again, but it appears that he'll see her sooner than he thinks. Dell and Colt grew up together in America before she moved, and they wrote back and forth constantly during the five years that she was in England. He was surprised to discover she had magical properties, seeing as he himself was pureblood and thought he'd have to keep the truth from her forever about magic. Needless to say, he was ecstatic when he found out about her abilities.
What a surprise will be in store for his old friend when he transferred from Arryo, an American wizarding school, to Hogwarts at the start of their sixth year. He's fiercely protective of her, and always has been, and is looking forward to not only being in her year, but being in her house as well. Though the death of his mother and the betrayal of his father hang over his head like a huge weight, he still finds ways to keep himself busy, and prefers to busy himself with other things, like Quidditch, to take his mind off of it. Nonetheless, a part of his heart that his mother filled will always been missing.

"Well, I think Stacia, by the corner comment, Skye was referring to you as a prostitute." he said, half smirking. But he glared at Skye as if he was saying "that's enough.", after all. Stacia and Ryley were his best friends. He didn't like anyone calling them names, even his sister. But that didn't mean he was taking their side. Walking over towards Skye and Sam, he stood protectively in front of her. After all, she WAS his sister and they had no right to verbally abuse her.
"That's enough guys," he said in a serious tone. He meant business. "Now run along, Wolfy. I can take care of my sister now." his gaze shifted to Sam and with that he sneered. "Looks like you were doing a pretty bad job protecting her before." he said, rolling his eyes. "You probably put her in more danger then you could save her from."
He looked over towards Wyatt, and felt rage boiling inside him. "So, you let your little friend spit in my little sister's face, eh?" he pulled out his wand and aimed towards his cheek bone. "Does she look like an animal to you?" he questioned eyes flashing with anger. "No one treats Skye like that. Now you're going to have to deal with me." he said, glaring, death in his eyes. If looks could kill, Wyatt Rookwood... would lie dead.
Still holding his wand, up but screaming at Sam, Kayleb's anger reached an ultimate high. "How could you let this happen to her? You claim to be her best friend. You claim to care about her. Yet, you let people treat her like an animal, like she's worthless." his gaze grew cold on Sam Lupin's face. "That doesn't sound like a best friend to me."
Kayleb knew that things were about to get ugly, and he didn't want his little sister to see it. She already looked shaken enough as though she'd been traumatized. "Skye, get back to the castle... now. You've had enough for one day." he said. Who cared if he was a tad bit over protective. They were as thick as thieves, he didn't want her to get hurt emotionally or physically.
