PERSONALITY 
Troy is a very kind and supportive person, he enjoys being there for his friends and family when they need him and he would give you the shirt off his back. He is a gentle person but he likes to put up a front of being tougher than he is. Troy makes sure that he doesn't come across as whimpy, he wants people to respect him and he doesn't want to get walked on because deep down, he's easier to break than he prefers others to know. Troy is a really good guy, if he makes mistakes he learns from them and won't make the same one later. Though that doesn't stop him from having a good time, he does what he pleases and rarely asks permission. It's not that he does a lot of bad things, he just mostly leaves unannounced by sneaking out his window or slipping out the door when no one is around. Most nights he spends on the beach by himself, just watching the waves crash in the distance, though if it's a bad night, he will most likely bring a flask or a cig with him. Neither of those being actual habits, more just once in a while things. 

Though Troy is an adventurous, fun, person to be around, there are a few things that kept him from Gryffindor house. Troy can be really stubborn about things, especially things that put fear or hurt inside of him. He won't just sleep around, he is very conservative with himself because his first experience was a drunk and bad one. Now he won't do anything like that until he is very confident that it is the right girl. Another experience that has changed his views, was when he was a little boy he went outside to play on the beach but because it was high tide, it swept him in and almost took his life. Because of that experience, Troy refuses to go in to any large body of water, deeper than his waist. He doesn't want to learn to swim, he doesn't want to face anything that might remind him of that, so while his brothers go out surfing, Troy rarely participates unless it's low tide. His stubbornness and his fears prevent him from doing a lot of things that he normally would enjoy doing.

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.

HISTORY 
Troy was born on a sunny and warm day in Laguna Beach, California, welcomed first by his two loving parents and a brother and sister. He is a middle child with two older siblings and two younger siblings, he gets along well with all of them and doesn't mind doing some occasional babysitting. When Troy isn't at home or on the beach, it is likely that he's helping out at the coffeeshop that his mother owns or hanging out there with friends. Troy enjoys spending time with his friends and family but he also enjoys being alone and thinking. Almost every night he sneaks out his window and walks around along the shoreline or on the huge pier by his house. Though because of his fear of being in the water, he rarely participates in water related activities and has almost completely given up surfing. 

Because sports is such a huge part of his family's lives, Troy loves getting outdoors and kicking around a soccer ball or playing lacrosse. He is very athletic and really enjoys going for a good run with his dad. Troy loves to travel and is always looking forward to the next family vacation whether it be to Italy to visit family or anywhere else. Even though Troy does enjoy living on the beach in Southern California (who wouldn't?), the idea of moving someplace else and starting a new life does entertain him sometimes. Troy just likes to get out and try new things and new places, he is curious to what else is out there for him.
