HALE, BRANDON NATHANIEL
“HERE'S TO THE CRAZY ONES. THE MISFITS. THE REBELS. THE TROUBLEMAKERS. THE ROUND PEGS IN THE SQUARE HOLES. THE ONES WHO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY. THEY'RE NOT FOND OF THE RULES. AND THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE STATUS QUO. YOU CAN QUOTE THEM, DISAGREE WITH THEM, GLORIFY OR VILIFY THEM. ABOUT THE ONLY THING YOU CAN'T DO IS IGNORE THEM. BECAUSE THEY CHANGE THINGS. THEY PUSH THE HUMAN RACE FORWARD. AND WHILE SOME MAY SEE THEM AS THE CRAZY ONES, WE SEE GENIUS. BECAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, AND THE ONES WHO DO.” -Apple, Inc.

BOGGART When faced with a boggart, it takes the form of a grave plot with his name on the headstone.
MIRROR OF ERISED Sex. It's a constant. He's a growing boy.
PATRONUS When cast, his patronus takes the form of an American Jackal, cunning and fierce.
PERSONALITY Brandon and his big sister Zara are very similar in some senses and very different in others. He likes to challenge social conformity and stereotypes, and authority while scowling at mint ice cream just as much as Zara, but he also expresses himself in art and movement. He likes to crack jokes and wrestle with his friends (and girlfriends, in the most inappropriate of ways), and he let's loose when he goes to parties.
Brandon is often waxing philosophical, and Zara comments that he's a tad bit poetic, but it's nothing he can help. When he isn't sticking it to The Man, he's driving his sister up a wall, or throwing punches for her and in the kitchen with her, coming up with meals together. He respects his sister no matter how much he gets on her nerves.

Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right, and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort.

SIBLINGS Zara Hale :: Sister :: 17 :: House Unknown
OTHER The Halle family of German origin, his father's ancestors. Halle was changed to Hale when some of them came to England.
HISTORY Like Zara, Brandon grew up facing the things kids like him do growing up, stereotyped and prodded out of curiosity, but he noticed things change as he grew up and confused staring turned into lustful gazes. He realized that his differences made him unique, but it wasn't something he prided himself on. He took interest in parkour at a young age from watching French action films and he picked up in his childhood years, doing flips on the playground and off of the monkeybars. It was when he began doing art that he began finding pride in himself, creating pieces that meant something, that said something, little pieces of himself and his mind and his wishes.
Talent aside, he has an interesting relationship with the police in his area, having racked up a record based on defacing public property, reckless endangerment, and underage drinking. Whenever he's caught and taken into custody, the authorities in his area often shake their heads, asking him when he's going to stop being so mental and get his act together. He's never kept in holding for too long, however and his arrests are merely visits and he's charged with cleaning off the sides of buildings and promising to get on a 'better path'.
No one can state that they haven't stopped to observe his feats, however. Daring jumps and startling depictions don't go ignored.
