Ravenclaw Pisceans spend so much time dreaming or reading books of legends that it's a wonder they ever come down to earth. Care must be taken that they do not neglect their material needs, including those that involve sleep, food, and drink. These wizards are natural seers, and often specialize in things like horary astrology, cartomancy, dream interpretation, oracles, and the summoning of visions. Because they possess both intellectual acumen and emotional awareness, they are capable of great insight. They are quiet students, not always the best in their classes, but tend to be brilliant at subjects which they are personally interested in. Shy and nervous, they are easily bullied or intimidated, and need some looking after by more assertive students. | Ravenclaw Pisceans spend so much time dreaming or reading books of legends that it's a wonder they ever come down to earth.

Nick Ganzer
Born into a middle class family in London, Nicholas Ryan Ganzer was never at a loss for a new toy, but he wasn’t by any means spoiled either. His parents were always careful not to dote on him too much, as they didn’t want their son to become used to getting everything from others, and having other people do everything for him. Also, as a child, his parents instilled in him ‘old-fashioned’ manners, and those would stay with him. He is also a half-blood.
As a child, Nick was always seen in the company of either a broom or a book, depending on the weather. He loved both types of objects and greatly enjoyed participating in them. When his little sister was born, he took great enjoyment in playing with her as well.
At Hogwarts, until his third year, Nick was mostly anti-social, quiet, and withdrawn. He had a few close friends here and there, yes, but it wasn’t until he tried out for the Quidditch team in his third year that he became open with others. Now, while still being somewhat quiet and shy, he’s much more open than he once was. Still, he doesn’t like to purposely draw attention to or on himself.
Nick plays Quidditch for Ravenclaw, and takes all the ‘basic’ classes (Charms, DADA, Tranfiguration, Potions, Herbology, and CoMC), plus Divination
Personality
Magically, Nick loves, and is good at, both Potions and Herbology. He finds the former to be fascinating and loves learning what objects can be surprisingly power. Herbology is something that interests him greatly as well, as he loves to take care of other things (which means he loves CoMC as well, but he’s not super in that), and enjoys their beauty.
His personality is… well, a classic gentleman. He’s the sort of guy to open doors, pull out chairs, take a girl’s coat… the works. By nature, he is a quiet, sweet, and nice guy. He’s friendly, yes, but he doesn’t go out of his way to draw attention to himself. He gets extremely awkward and flustered from time to time, especially when embarrassed or around pretty girls.
As nice as he is, however, he’s not one to NOT defend himself. It takes quite a bit to get him upset or angry, but when he does, he can be quite mean and cutting.
At school, he fails miserably at Ancient Runes and Aritmancy— the classes that require lots of knowledge and facts. A Ravenclaw he may be, but he’s not good with things that are set in stone and rarely change. He LIKES the subjects, it’s just… he’s bad at them.
His personality, since it is so different from most males his age, sets him apart a bit, and causes him to be made fun of. He certainly lacks the confidence that most of his classmates seem to possess and sometimes looks down on himself because of their remarks. He has no desire to change, but it still hurts him quite a bit. He’s got an extremely negative view of himself, despite KNOWING, in his heart, he’s a good person. The abuse when he was younger really screwed him up.
Physical Description
Standing at about 6’2” tall, Nicholas is surprisingly…well, tall and well built. He’s not extremely muscular, nor by any means scrawny. He has some muscle, but really, he’s like a big teddy bear. His eyes are a blue-green colour and his hair is brown, and messy. His cheeks show dimples when he smiles (which is often!) and the grin is rather…well, big and friendly.
History
Born into a middle class family in London, Nicholas Ryan Ganzer was never at a loss for a new toy, but he wasn’t by any means spoiled either. His parents were always careful not to dote on him too much, as they didn’t want their son to become used to getting everything from others, and having other people do everything for him. Also, as a child, his parents instilled in him ‘old-fashioned’ manners, and those would stay with him. He was always shy and kept to himself—he’s a nice, friendly guy, yes, but he doesn’t enjoy having attention on him and never has. He’d much prefer to slip under the radar.
As a child, Nick was always seen in the company of either a brook or a book (sometimes both at the same time), depending on the weather. When his younger sibling was born, he took great enjoyment in playing with them as well. He’s protective of them and one of the very few people that he’ll show anger and get fiercely protective over. He usually keeps to himself, but when it
At Hogwarts, until his third year, Nick was mostly anti-social, quiet, and withdrawn. He had a few close friends here and there, yes, but it wasn’t until he tried out for the Quidditch team in his third year that he became open with others. Now, while still being somewhat quiet and shy, he’s much more open than he once was. Still, he doesn’t like to purposely draw attention to or on himself and is insanely shy and awkward. Yup.
Relationships
Maddox Dixon is his BFF, since they're in the same house/year/share a love for the classes nobody else really likes. Maddox tends to make Nick feel a bit more confident and outgoing.
Danielle Littleton is someone he has the Biggest Crush Ever on. He's very much attracted to her, since she's quite pretty, and they have very similiar personalities. Nick's more akward and shy than usual around her.
Dariana Davison tends to force him out of his shell. She's the one girl he finds it easy to talk to and open up with. Dari gives him advice... which, he followed when asking Danielle Littleton to a Hogsmeade trip, something normally out of character for him.
Darin DeLouise is someone he despises, for whatever reason. Their personalities clash quite a bit, and he's highly jealous that Darin ever dated Dani. So... he kinda hates on him.
Lucas Longshore is someone he can't stand. Period. End of story.
School
House
Classes
Nick adores Potions and Herbology, the two classes most people despise. He, however, is completely fascinated by them. He's a terror at Ancient Runes and Arithmancy though, so he avoids those as much as possible.
Astrology
PISCES (February 19 - March 20) the Fish. Mutable, water, yin - planetary rulers: Jupiter and Neptune. Keywords: "I BELIEVE"
Pisces is the twelfth sign of the Zodiac, and governs the feet. Positive traits include idealism, wisdom, intuition, empathy, imagination, creativity, adaptability, compassion, and an uncanny connection to all that is spiritual and otherworldly (which makes for talent in magic); negative traits include being easily influenced by other people, gullibility, a lack of backbone, escapism, addictive personality, impracticality, emotional game-playing, delusion, and a total inability to say "no."
Ravenclaw Pisces
Ravenclaw Pisceans spend so much time dreaming or reading books of legends that it's a wonder they ever come down to earth. Care must be taken that they do not neglect their material needs, including those that involve sleep, food, and drink. These wizards are natural seers, and often specialize in things like horary astrology, cartomancy, dream interpretation, oracles, and the summoning of visions. Because they possess both intellectual acumen and emotional awareness, they are capable of great insight. They are quiet students, not always the best in their classes, but tend to be brilliant at subjects which they are personally interested in. Shy and nervous, they are easily bullied or intimidated, and need some looking after by more assertive students.
Snake

Diplomatic and popular, the Snake has the sensual art of seduction down. This Sign is an interesting mix of gregariousness paired with introversion, intuitive reasoning paired with savvy business skills. Snakes are considered to be lucky with money and will generally have more than enough to live life to the fullest, regardless of how important it considers money to be; this may be due to the fact that Snakes tend to be rather tight with cash. They're not stingy, they're simply more mentally than physically active. Snakes tend to hang back a bit in order to analyze a situation before jumping into it. Their charming, seductive quality actually belies a rather retiring nature; this Sign is perfectly happy to spend the whole day curled up with a good book and, thus, can be mislabeled as being lazy.
The Snake is somewhat insecure deep down and tend to be a rather jealous, possessive lover, behavior that can end up alienating loved ones. Despite these less-than-stellar tendencies, however, the Snake often proves irresistible and is a generous, loving partner.. Slightly dangerous and disarmingly smart, the Snake's philosophical and intuitive mind generally supersedes logic in favor of feelings and instinct. Snakes will rely on their own gut reactions and intuitions before turning to others for suggestions. This makes this Sign a great hand in any business venture, possessing the caution and smarts needed to get ahead.
Snakes are hard workers (when they see good reason to be!) and are possessed of a keen intelligence. Snakes have incredible follow-through, once they get going, and they expect the same from others. Thus, their coworkers and employees had best stay on their toes, lest they anger the Snake and suffer its poisonous bite!
In general, of course, Snakes are generous and genteel, charming and appealing. Snakes must try to learn humility and to develop a stronger sense of self. Once Snakes realize that confidence comes from within, they will finally be comfortable in their own skin.
Snake/Pisces
Your soft and often sensuous Snake personality demands kid glove treatment from any who might wish to get next to you. The Snake/Pisces impresses easily, which is why strong, brash lovers may maul you unintentionally unless they take steps to handle you with care, as any rare work of art deserves. Try not to become disillusioned when the elaborate fantasy life that you have constructed for yourself comes into contact with a sobering and unaesthetic reality, as it is bound to do from time to time.
Your true strength lies in your Piscean ability to navigate the line between the dreaming and the waking worlds. The intuitional skills that make you an excellent operative in this gray zone of the human endeavor also serve you well at any of the various spiritual pastimes that you are habitually engaged in. Beware -- do not call up any that you cannot put down again!
