sirius black character study plss
i’m going to preface this by saying that my characterisation of sirius is mostly, if not wholly, off the fandom’s. they barely intersect, and i think that both characterisations of the character appeal to certain people and their respective groups.
i think that the first impression someone would get from sirius is that he is cold, arrogant and aloof. he doesn’t like talking to people out of his selected group, and he’s slightly wary of them. out of all of his friends, he’s the least approachable, settling for ignoring or small talk with the people he doesn’t want to converse with, and he doesn’t care about what people think of him.
his personality and character traits are shaped, in some way or another, by his upbringing; he is charismatic and charming, he knows what he wants and how to get it whenever he wants. he is cunning, ambitious, and driven, all things that could have, in another life, made him a great heir to the noble and most ancient house of black. however, he’s haughty at times, and has the tendency to say harsh and hurtful things when he’s angered. (which is rarely the case; i think he’s quite a patient person, and it takes a while to upset him enough in order to spill out.)
i think he’s also a highly intelligent individual, but doesn’t always use all of his potential; he prefers putting his wit to things that directly impact him, although, in class, he tends to pay attention just about enough to memorise what he has to use for later (given that he never studies). certain professors are upset that he’s not using his potential, and hold a sort of resentment towards him when they have to grade his essays and they are well-written and longer than they should, despite the fact he’s not an active student in class. he’s aware of his intellect and what he could do with it, as many professors have recommended him, or tried to gently guide him towards well-known and respected careers.
he can be quite harsh on both himself (he’s quite the perfectionist, deep within him) and towards other people, ignoring their feelings and the repercussions of his actions in a moment of recklessness and fury. he can come across as full of himself and haughty, yet he holds a rogue air to himself that draws people in. he’s a natural charmer, and he knows what to do with it. he’s skilled and aware of it; he’s passionate, witty, brilliant, resourceful, resilient, unbelievably loyal to those he loves, adventurous, confident, talented, ambitious, charming, charismatic, and daring. he’s beautifully complex, and there is not one word that could encompass all of sirius black.
