Appearance: Standing a modest six feet tall and weighing in around 160 lbs., Gabriel is a rather fetching sight. With his sandy blond hair, baby blue eyes and round smooth baby face, Gabriel looks like the boy next door and that sort of sweet boy scout smile has a habit of making some forget just what sort of evil they are dealing with. His perfectly straight and white teeth, along with is manicured nails, show just how much Gabriel cares about his appearance and how much he relies on it. He is always seen dressed in the best clothing that his money can buy. Suits and designer casual wear are all Gabriel will waste his time with, always going out of his way to obtain the latest and most expensive fashions.

Boggart: Himself dressed in filthy rags
Patronus: Fox
Personality: Gabriel sees himself and other's such as himself as the best the wizarding world has to offer and as such, fit to be kings. With such an outlook, Gabriel believes anyone worth their salt should know how to dress and talk, how to walk the walk of sorts. Only the best clothes, food, and enjoyable things of life are fit to be worthy of those of his standing and anything less should be tossed aside for the filth of the world to get by on. He will not waste his time on anything foolish and pointless.
Now, while Gabriel is an elitist, he does recognize the usefulness of those around him, whether they be pure blood or mud blood. Everyone has a use to him, in one way or another and while he may not personally approach some of these individuals, he will exert his family pull and wealth to get their attention. He will offer his assistance to anyone who my need it, however, not for free. Gabriel only helps those that can help him, a trait which usually makes the school staff see him as helpful rather than as a user.

Father: James Sutherland
Mother: Lucretia Grey-Sutherland
Siblings: None
Other Family: Winston Sutherland (Uncle), Alice Grey (Aunt), Lewis Grey (Uncle)
History: Stratford-Upon-Avon, England...The birth place of William Shakespeare and now, yet another great figure with potential to leave his mark on the world. Gabriel James Sutherland was born on a cold and snowy December night in 1959 to two very rich and oddly gifted individuals. James Sutherland, a wizard with a knack for charms and transfiguration, was a doll maker by trade and countless little spoiled rich girls had their daddies lined up around the streets to buy one of James' eerily life like dolls. Lucretia Grey-Sutherland, a woman of striking beauty and cruelty, owned her own land of wizarding clothing. Her ability with a needle was second only to her ability with a wand and the robes this woman could make were the talk of all the young socialites on the scene.
Now, Gabriel was a planned child of sorts, just not at the current time he was conceived and born. His mother and father both were still enjoying their lives and while they did want a child eventually, they just didn't need one intruding on them in the prime of their social lives. Of course, Gabriel was welcomed with much rejoicing as soon as the news of his birth hit the Sutherland social circle. Many gifts were sent from all sorts of wizarding families, all hoping to keep on the Sutherland family good side. This was merely because all those parents wanted to keep their own children with the best clothes and toys and as we all know, a pure blood without a designer label isn't really anything at all.
Growing up for Gabe wasn't all that odd and much like his parents, Gabriel began to show talent for manipulating things. From his father, he learned patience and the importance of detail. From his mother, Gabriel learned manners and how to coordinate himself, how to carry his name with pride and elegance. The most important thing he learned from the both of them however, was how to use nothing and turn it into the very thing with everyone would gladly step over their own mother to have. He learned that everything, no matter how small and insignificant, could be used to his advantage.
Gabriel's life at Hogwarts wasn't much different from the others of his standing and while he wasn't as prestigious as those such as the Malfoys, Blacks, and Lestranges, Gabriel climbed the social ladder all the same. He has managed to avoid any sort of conflict with his professors and as such, so far his school records remain flawless. However, with the talk of a new dark wizard on the rise, Gabriel has become more aggressive and pressing to the other pure bloods of his house. Perhaps it is time for young mister Sutherland to finally carve out a place for himself in this world.
||at least I've got skills[/font]
RP Sample: Winter break was perhaps one of Gabriel's favorite escapes from school. The weather outside was brisk and somber and the way the snow looked as it blanketed the land just had this relaxing effect on him. Pure untouched snow, it was just perfect and beautiful. It was clean and orderly, much like Gabriel himself, a trait which he seemed to come by honestly. His parents were both very proper and adjusted individuals, having a place for everything and everything in its place, just one of the many traits which had made them so successful.
Gabriel was dressed in a pair of brown cargo pants and white dress shirt which was made from a thicker and bit rougher material than his other shirts, which only made sense considering he was in his father's work room. All sorts of tools and paints were here and wearing anything of more fragile design was just a waste of good material. The workroom was located at the back of the house on the main floor and was heated by a small brick fireplace. Gabriel was sitting quietly at a large wooden table, painting the face on a puppet he had been working on all year. Every break from school had served as his work time and all around general time to get away from things so he could sort his mind and think more clearly. Working on puppets and dolls helped Gabe to focus on the things which circled about his head, perhaps one of the reasons why his father loved doing this as well.
"I believe your finished," he said softly, the tip of his paintbrush putting the last bit of a smile on the small doll. It wasn't anything overly extravagant, just something to pass the time. Gabriel laid his paintbrush down and set his puppet down in front of him. He grabbed a small paint rag from the table of wiped off his hands before picking up his wand as well. He tossed the rag to the side and then muttered a spell under his breath, pointing his wand at the puppet. The small play toy wiggled and then sprang to life, making Gabriel smile. It seemed his father wasn't the only one who could manipulate lifeless and brain dead things around him.
