Nathan is a proud, self-assured boy who knows what he wants (most of the time) and is not afraid to go after it. Some would call him cocky; Nathan calls it charm. He's hungry for fame and recognition, and puts himself on a pedestal. "Anything you can do I can do better." Blessed with dashing looks, brilliant smiles and a natural talent for DADA, Charms and Quidditch, Nathaniel would not be ashamed to say that he'd date himself. After all, he's as close to perfect as one can get - at least according to him.
He struggles with some discomfort of being muggleborn, and being seen as not worthy in the eyes of certain purebloods.
Nathan has as fiery a temper as he has a soul. Being wrong isn't something he's familiar with. He'd never back down once he'd started arguing for or against something, no matter how illogical he might sound. He isn't so very fond of rules, but the prestige of being selected for the role of Prefect has made him abide by them more often. He's a shameless flirt, and quite the sweet-talker when he wants to be. He does, silently, cherish the idea of being a hero, and having others worship him for his actions.
Nathan is not exactly a slacker – he works really hard to reach his many ambitious goals – but he can be seen as a bit careless.
There is, however, a kind and trusting side to him. Nathaniel is remarkably loyal to his friends and fellow Gryffindors, and would quite literally take a bludger any day for them. Being close enough to Nathan might grant you the privilege of discovering his softer self.
Nathan has no memory of his birthparents, and knows only what the people at the orphanage told him – his mother resided in London and died giving birth to him. Shortly after turning two years old, Nathan began showing signs of magical blood. It quite frankly scared the living hell out of the matron. Fortunately enough, Mr and Mrs Hamilton, a wizarding couple living in Godric's Hollow, took special interest in the child. They couldn't have children of their own, so when they had assured that little baby Nathan was indeed a wizard, they adopted him and brought him home with them.
Nathaniel learnt a lot by living with the Hamiltons, and found that he'd entered a most loving and magical home. Mrs Hamilton worked as a Healer at St Mungo's and Mr Hamilton worked as an auror. They weren't rich, but Mrs Hamilton always made sure that their beautiful boy had everything he could dream of. When Nathaniel was four, he got his first broomstick. Since then, the Hamiltons' town house never saw a quiet moment again.
Mr and Mrs Hamilton was quite infatuated with their precious boy. They instilled into him a sense of pride, and constantly let him know how special, how perfectly brilliant he was. They didn't mean any harm by it, but it contributed to building Nathan's slightly inflated ego.
Upon attending Hogwarts, Nathan made sure to place himself as high as possible in the school hierarchy. He fought for good grades, a spot on the Quidditch team, being elected as the Gryffindor prefect. All that was really missing was being Captain of the Quidditch team, and being Head Boy. Despite having achieved a lot already, Nathan wanted more. Glory is the single most important thing, and glory Nathan will have – one way or another.
