Since this is a character I created a few years back on TEC (and still playing), I just edited the profile I wrote there to fit the format on here. However, if I need to add a little more in any areas just let me know. He’s the Transfiguration Professor on TEC, but I tried to make sure I changed any part of his profile that indicates that (aside from his being an animagi) since Transfiguration isn’t open here…

Requesting: Head of Gryffindor, Care of Magical Creatures or Charms Professor
Name: Richard “Ric” Louis Tender
Age: 34 / November 8
Sex: Male
Nationality: British
Speech: English
Blood: Muggle Born
Father: George Tender [Decease]
Step-Father: Donald Bergson
Mother: Morgan Tender-Bergson
Siblings: Tiffany Henderson [31]
Other Family: Hannah [8] [niece], Dominic [1] [nephew], Jesse Henderson [32] [brother-in-law]
Family Interactions: After the death of his father, Ric and his sister were not always that close to their mother due to her working multiple jobs to support the family. However, Ric has always been close to his sister, and very protective of her. When he started Hogwarts he didn’t like the idea of leaving her behind, especially when their mother wasn’t always around. However, this bothered Ric even more when their mother began dating an abusive man. He knew he couldn’t change his mother’s mind as she saw love and seemed blinded to everything else, even though the man beat up on her as well. However, Ric worried constantly over his younger sister. During this time, Ric got into a lot of fights during his time in Hogwarts. However, Ric eventually cooled down, especially when the family of one of his friends volunteered to take Tiffany in until either she became of age or Ric did (with Tiffany choosing to live with him). With this settled, Ric was able to settle a bit more into school and graduate.
The closeness between the two siblings did not change. However, Ric soon had to step down and allow another man to look after Tiffany. Tiffany met a muggle by the name of Jesse who seemed to genuinely care for Tiffany and Ric couldn’t help but approve of the young man. The two of them married, and Ric found himself having a little niece to spoil --- which he did happily. Ric has always like children, and having a niece to spoil was even better. However, when Hannah turned seven, it was found that her mother was going to have another baby, this time a little boy. Ric is on good terms with his sister’s family, and he is a consistent figure in their lives. If he’s not seeing them, he’s keeping a solid correspondence with Tiffany.
Height: 5’ 8
Weight: 175 lb.
Hair: Ric has dirty-blond to a light brown colored hair. The strands are kept short to about an inch in length. The strands are usually messy and unbrushed. Ric doesn't really care much about brushing his hair or making it neat.
Eyes: Ric has dark blue eyes that are round in shape. They are outlined by average dark eyelashes. His eyes are usually showing the humor that is characteristic of Ric. Rarely does the man ever hide his amusement from his gaze.
Skin Colour: His skin is a medium peach coloring to a light tan in coloring.
Clothing style: Ric is not someone who is used to wearing robes. Even when he was a student in Hogwarts he didn’t like wearing them. As it is, Ric is a laid back Professor and he rarely, if ever dresses professionally. He usually wears jeans and a button up shirt that is nice looking, but he doesn’t wear robes or dress clothes.
Accessories: Ric does not possess any piercings nor does he have any tattoos. However, he does wear a single necklace of a black cord with a silver pendent hanging from it. He’s never yet explained why he wears the necklace or if it even means anything.
Other: Ric is an animagi. His form is a Raccoon.
Paragraph Format: The man stands at a height of around five foot eight. He has a somewhat blockier form. He is not really small but more in the median range, hence the stocky description. Ric is well toned and keeps himself fit, however passed that Ric doesn't take a large interest into his appearance. One could not describe Ric as a vain man. Being born a Muggle, Ric has a dislike of Wizard wardrobe. As such, Ric never wears robes. However, aside from this, Ric never wears anything formal, even when teaching. Ric will appear in the classroom dressed much as a Muggle College student, namely in jeans, sneakers, and t-shirts. He does not see the point of dressing up. In truth, Ric is a rather unique individual.
Aside from his attire, Ric does not possess any piercing or tattoos. Many would think that he probably would have some, however Ric has never had an interest in them except in passing. If he knew he really wanted one and would not just decide he didn't like them anymore, he probably would get one. However, Ric has jumped between wanting and not wanting one and as such Ric will not mark his body with something that is permanent. However, Ric will wear a necklace that is a black string around his neck with a silver pendent hanging from it.
Personality: Ric is just what one would call a normal guy. As a kid, he was known to have a quick temper, and as such he would get into many fights. However, since his school days, the man has cooled down quite a bit. He still has a temper at times and in result can be rather stubborn, however it takes more before Ric will go physical means to solve a disagreement. Yet, despite this small quirk, for the most part Ric is very laid back. It takes quite a bit to get him riled up. He tends to be rather opened minded towards things. However, Ric doesn’t always take people at their word. Meaning, he is not one to follow something blindly but would rather prefer to receive a more comprehensive knowledge of things. If someone is a part of a different race, Ric isn’t quick to jump to judge them. Rather he takes things one step at a time and learns about the being’s race from both themselves and outside sources such as books. He is interested in learning new things, especially if it’s not something he previously knew.
Past his temper, Ric is a nice guy. He tends to be more understanding towards the younger generation, hence he is usually a likable guy as a substitute and then a Professor in a stable position. However, since he is still older than students, Ric is often left open to cynical and sarcastic remarks by the same students, those who don't think he's that cool. However, Ric weathers this well and usually makes a joke of them. Ric isn't really affected by the comments as he knew that when he was their ages he would have probably done the same things.
Ric does not try to be the cool substitute professor. Rather the man just tries to have fun with the class and what he's doing. He doesn't see why he has to suffer while teaching. So instead, Ric does things his own way. This usually ends up being that Ric is learning right along side the students. However, Ric is not ignorant on the subject, rather he is knowledgeable in every subject. He just can't remember every little face. This tends to place Ric on the level of the students which once again is either a good or bad thing depending on the students' individual thoughts.
History: Ric was born to a low class Muggle family. His father had died when Ric was only seven years old. Ric remembers his father for the most part, however years have weakened those memories. His mother, he rarely saw. Morgan Tender worked three different jobs and multiple shifts to support her two children. As such, Ric and Tiffany learned at a young age that there were things in the world they could not have. They learned that a person needed to work for the things they had.
However, since Morgan worked many hours and jobs, it came to the point that Ric and Tiffany rarely saw their mother but in passing. However, Ric and Tiffany were well taken care of while their mother was at work. A neighbor had volunteered to watch both Ric and Tiffany while their mother was away. When Ric turned eleven, he was surprised to be accepted to Hogwarts, a place no one heard of. His mother was skeptical of it as well as the neighbor, Mrs Robins. However, at Mrs. Robin's insistence, Ric found himself discovering the wizardry world and in turn Hogwarts.
It was during his first year at Hogwarts, in the Gryffindor house, that Morgan started dating another man and eventually marrying him. However, Ric did not learn of anything bad happening within the family until his second year when he came home for the holidays to find his sister crying and his mother with bruises. Being only thirteen, there was little for Ric to do. However, he found himself yelling at his mother for letting the man do this, especially to Tiffany. Ric found himself wishing not to return to Hogwarts, and his sister's pleas did not help these thoughts.
However, luckily, the family members of one of his friends heard of this misfortune and offer to take Tiffany in, but it had not happened until around Ric's sixth year in Hogwarts. Morgan did not take this lightly, however she eventually agreed to it after one brutal night. Although Tiffany was now safely out of the house, Ric still worried about her. However, the younger girl strove forward under the friendly guidance of the Ric's friend's family. The only thing Tiffany seemed to struggle with were the fact she could do no magic and this family was of magical origins.
When Ric turned seventeen and graduated Hogwarts, he found himself a job working in a store and bought himself an apartment. After this, Tiffany moved in with him until she was able to enter the world herself as an adult. Ric continued to work in small jobs until he decided to extend his schooling and take up teaching. After receiving a degree, Ric worked as a substitute in a small magical school before he took on teaching [insert class] full time. He remained in this position for a few years until he heard that Hogwarts was open in the position he had settled into. He sent an application to Hogwarts to teach the class and he was hired. However, Ric also asked to pick up the Head of Gryffindor position, learning that the head of his old house was open as well.
