Country: Switzerland
Name: Vash Zwingli
Age: 15
Personality: Vash is considered one of the more quiet residents at Hogwarts. He’s adamant about his studies and does decently in all of his classes (Though, some obviously better than others). He’s often closed off to people he doesn’t know well and will act negatively to them. But if someone gets on his good side and befriends him, he fiercely protects them (example A: His sister). He isn’t used to people being nice to him and tends to act over the top when he’s in a situation he doesn’t know how to react to. On another note, he hates people who show off excessively and if anyone hurts his sister, there will be hell to pay.
About the Country: Switzerland is one of the richest countries in the world and boasts many cultures and even has four official languages (German, French, Romansh, and Italian). Switzerland has a long history of neutrality, officially beginning in 1815. During the two world wars, the Swiss Confederacy managed to avoid invasion from both fronts. Not only that, but Switzerland has also, historically, avoided alliances that could tie the country up in case of war. As a matter of fact, it took until 2002 for Switzerland to officially enter the UN. Switzerland is also hope to many organizations such as the Red Cross, World Trade Organization, and the World Economic Forum.
Switzerland also produces delicious chocolate.
House: Hufflepuff
Year: Fifth
Blood Type: Half-Blood
Best Class: Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Muggle Studies
Worst Class: Flying, Herbology
Anything Else?: Vash believes that he need to protect himself and his sister at all times. As a result of this, he may or may not have a collection of different wands in a secret compartment in his suitcase hidden by his cloaks. He also has a tawny owl as a pet.
Writing Sample: Vash had never liked King’s Cross station, it was way too busy and there were way too many people. The only thing worse than being in King’s Cross Station, he supposes, was flooing there. There was always a back-up and it was never pleasant. Instead, he was here, hoping a curious muggle didn't think to question why he happened to have such a large suitcase with him...not to mention an owl. Quickly, Vash looked both ways twice before walking into the wall that separated him from platform 9 3/4. Within moments the Hogwarts Express stood in front of him in all it’s glory and Vash couldn't help but release a small smile. People were hurrying about around him trying to get a place on the train. Vash’s suitcase began to feel heavy in his hands and he vowed to start moving soon. He made one last to check to ensure his wand was still in his pocket and he started his journey into the train. If there was anything he knew, it was that he was ready to start his fifth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
