Three Characteristics Others Think You Are: Kind, Patient, Loyal
Three Random Facts:
i. Neville hasn't been dealt the best cards in life. He's lost far more than he's gained for the most part and yet, he hasn't allowed it to alter his views on the world. Losing his wife and children to the cruel clutches of death, followed by a failed engagement, he remained determined to see the light at the end of the tunnel. His resilience has only grown tenfold because of this.
ii. He has always enjoyed Herobolgy and has what most would consider a green thumb - He loves spending time in his little greenhouse and pottering away in the dirt. When he's not doing that, he's teaching at Rutherford or working his summers and any other time off he has away in his flower shop. He finds arranging flowers soothing.
iii. He thinks plants can tell you a lot if you just pay enough attention.
Aspirations: Right now, he just wants to make sure his life follows the very shaky plan he has for it. Knowing his luck, it probably won't.
Favourite Branch of Magic: Herbology
Favourite Wizarding Food or Drink: Chocolate Frogs
Thoughts or involvement on an event from the Timeline: Neville joined and fought alongside Liberamach in the civil war.

Thoughts on Scotland's Independence: Given his involvement, he thinks it was a thoroughly good idea.

Roleplay Example:
Sofia's jaw clenched as it was pointed out that she was still clutching the book and she set it down on the floor in front of her and ran her fingers over the leather cover for a moment. "The book itself is important, the pages are not." she explained, "The pages can burn but the book represents all the things I cannot say aloud." though she had no idea why she was telling him any of this. He didn't care. And maybe that was exactly why. She didn't need him to care, she didn't need him in the way she'd needed Don and that was an important thing in and of itself. It made talking to him easier.
"I was not going to cry,"
Good, she thought. She wouldn't know how to approach that. Would she pat his back awkwardly? Would she try to make him feel better or would she mock him for already mocking her? Part of her believed it would have been all of the above. "I know you weren't." she admitted and wiped at her face, trying to erase the evidence that she had cried at all. "I was just less inclined to lie about my preference of seeing you cry."
She inched closer, just slightly, still battling over her urge to run her fingertips over the crease in his brow - she caught herself though and settled back onto her knees. "I like that you don't care. You didn't come in here and expect me to be.. anything. Happy or even.. kind. You're rude. And patronizing." she smiled further, an odd thing given the context. "You're so sullen and mean that It doesn't feel like I'm ruining anything. There's nothing to ruin." she exhaled but it was the truth, she felt as if she were constantly trying to get Don to notice her, to want him to like her in the same way that she adored him, toeing the line of trying to be better for him, to be something he'd treasure, none of it had mattered in the end. "You're so.. unsoft, not like him." she chewed at the inside of her cheek for a moment. "So, your relief is well founded."
