Personality
William Domhnall McTammish was born on 21st May 1947 in a small farm just north of Aberfeldy, Scotland. His muggle father and mother (Stacey and Ewan) used to live in Edinburgh, and owned a small accounting company before WWII. In order to keep her husband out of the army, Stacey sold up the company and forced Ewan to commit pseudocide, moving to a small sheep farm not too far from Aberfeldy. They lived a simple life, even though they had money up to their eyeballs, they still sold meat and wool to the local stores and only bought the bare essentials. When William was born, they decided to live off the land, growing large gardens and letting William roam free around the farm. Stacey and Ewan began to notice odd things about William from an early age. He would dissapear and re-appear somewhere else almost instantly and doors that were locked could always be found opened. He never did anything naughty when he opened the locks, all he wanted was some biscuits and possibly some milk. When William was old enough to go to school, his parents decided to home school him instead of sending him away to be oppressed by the school system. They, of course, never taught him anything other than how to read, write and count, preferring to let him roam around the countryside picking flowers. He always seemed to love flowers and the earth, and at the age of 7 he already had two thriving gardens. His parents were the original hippies, protesting about everything from war to the school system. They never went to church, mainly because Ewan liked to sleep in on Sunday.
When William recieved his letter of acceptance to Hogwarts, his parents supported him in every way possibly. They loved the fact that their son was a wizard, he was unique and he could do magic things. He went to London with his parents, and while he was buying a wand with Ewan, Stacey wandered off, getting caught in the middle of a riot between black men and white racists. She began attacking some of the white racists, race equality was another thing she was passionate about. Soon enough, the police came and arrested several peole, including Stacey. She was sentenced to a year in jail, and died of pnuemonia three months into her sentence. William has never really come to grips with her death, avoiding the headstone on the family farm like the plague.
His father was reluctant to let him go to Hogwarts, but after lots of pleading he caved in, sending his son away. William was sorted into Hufflepuff, and soon gained a reputation for being a hippie. He could always be found in the greenhouses, tending to the plants and helping younger students with their plants. He failed in subjects like History of Magic and Astronomy, but excelled in Charms and, of course, Herbology. When he left Hogwarts, many were expecting him to open up a rather large business, perhaps a apothecary in Diagon Alley, but he moved back to the farm, opening a small flower shop in Aberfeldy. He lived a relatively quiet life after school, his shop had a reputation for the best flowers in the United Kingdom, and many expected him to open more shops. But like his parents, he wanted a quiet life, sticking to his one flower shop and staying a bachelor. His father still runs the farm, letting William live on it as long as he likes. Just as long as he keeps the gardens thriving. His father was the one who had found the Daily Prophet advertisment about to be used as compost and put it on the corkboard. He knew that if William kept looking at it long enough, he'd apply. And sure enough, it took two days before William sent off his job application to Dumbledore and went for the interview. It was a shock when William got the job, making his father promise to keep the flower shop up and running before he accepted and packed his bags, once again, for Hogwarts.
Physical Description
William, or Thundereagle as he likes to be called by his friends, is your average scottish man. 5'9", he would melt into a crowd were it not for his extremely unorthodox appearance. He has long, dirty blonde hair, despite the fact that he is going bald. Occasionally he ties it up in a ponytail, but most of the time he lets it fall free. He has been trying to grow a beard, finding that after a while his hair just stops growing. He can always be seen with a smile on his face, even if something bad is happening. His teeth are abnormally straight, also he is missing several teeth from fights with mandrakes. His skin has a weathered look to it from hours of sun damage that are bound to give him melanoma any time now. He has icy blue eyes, which give him a look of being slightly crazy. Not that he minds of course. He never wears shoes, preferring to always be in contact with terra firma. His wardrobe consists of tie-dyed robes, t-shirts and shorts, occasionally throwing in a t-shirt with a political joke or a peace sign on it. He has never worn a shirt or tie in his life and prefers to keep it that way. The way he wears clothes can be described as insane. Known for his tendancy to wear socks on his hands in place of gloves and putting underwear on his head when he needs time to think, he couldn't care less about his appearance. In winter he can be seen with large, fluffy slippers over his small feet, in the shape of yeti feet. These are quite possibly the only shoes he has even worn. He wears them everywhere, no matter what the occasion from November to March he can be seen in his slippers.
History
Three words: Tree-Hugging Hippie. William is a healthy hippie, preferring to eat organic food and keep himself drug/alcohol free. He makes tie-dye shirts for all the teachers, laughing to himself as they all look rather confused. He loathes formality, preferring for his students to call him Mr. Bill and his peers to call him Thundereagle. In formal staff meetings, he is the one sitting in the front row, singing 'American Woman' to himself rather loudly and putting his feet on the table.
He is an easy-going person, never setting deadlines for assignments or giving out detentions unless it is absolutely nessecary. He likes experimenting with magic and plants, knowing that once you've forgotten your earmuffs while working with mandrakes you'll never forget to put them on again. He has a cheekyness about him, stating the obvious to all around and not really giving a stuff if they don't like it. He is an extrovert, loving contact with people since he got so little of it as a child. He is bouncy, exuberant and optimistic, give him any situation and he'll put a bright side on it. He has a natural ability to make people laugh, if he has put a smile on someones face then his days work is complete. Although his work is confined to the greenhouses, he loves the castle, wandering around and exploring new nooks and crannys.
William is extremely spiritual, his sunday consists of meditation in the forest or by the lake. He finds it helps him relieve any stress that may have accumulated over the week and credits his laid-back nature to it. He would light incense in his office, but he has found that plants are extremely sensitive to it and some plants may even wilt if incense is in the air. He loves crystals, and has a small collection which he uses for crystal healing on himself once a month. Ask him anything about chakras and magical properties of crystals and it is almost guaranteed that he will be able to give you a paragraph-long answer. He also likes medieval costumes and folklore, the only other thing he would be seen in other than tie-dyed robes or shorts and a t-shirt would be a medieval pageboys costume. He doesn't know much about plays or anything written back then, he just likes the clothes and the myths and legends. On his birthday, he dresses up as King Henry V and speaks in old english all day. He loves rock music, end of story. Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, anything and everything that has a guitar, base and drums he will listen to it. Unless its Gary Glitter. He can't stand the amount of sequins Gary Glitter wears. He owns hundreds of records, preferring gardening when theres good music playing. William has a strange obsession with yo-yos. The things amaze him. He is completely useless at using one, but he loves them all the same. He always has his old wooden yo-yo on him, but prefers to use a newer, red yo-yo which he got Flitwick to charm before school started so it would never screw up mid-yoyo. The things amaze him, he could spend hours on end just playing with a yo-yo and never get bored.
William is one of the messiest people ever to live at Hogwarts. Books, tools, clothes, records, yo-yos and crystals are sprayed across his office, literally making it look like a bomb site. His room isn't much better, actually, its much much worse. If you venture deep enough, theres a possibility of finding one of the house elves that dared to attempt to clean it. He throws anything anywhere, calling it his 'Floor Storage system'. There is no way of ever seeing the floor, and even if you did see a bit of carpet it would only be there for about three seconds before being swallowed into one of the many piles of stuff lying around. Theres a slight possiblity that the pile is gaining a mind of its own and preparing to take over Hogwarts.
