PATRONUS Northern Mockingbird – Mockingbirds are creatures that love to sing, love attention from their sometimes shrill and sometimes melodic songs. They are usually found in grounds, as they are not solitary creatures. Northern Mockingbirds match Gabriel in particular because they are prone to displays of their beautiful under feathers beneath their wings, as a territorial response or as a show of their magnificence. They are territorial and can be very competitive with their siblings over food, though they will ultimately care for the younger by watching the nests, almost like 'baby-sitting' from afar.
PERSONALITY Firstly, Gabriel is a very competitive individual. He likes to challenge himself and match his skills against others to prove that he is better than them. He strives to gain everyone's respect and attention, and therefore works diligently to be good in classes as well as Quidditch, like his father, though it's never for his own enjoyment – it's for the attention, which in turn will bring him the joy people normally get from the act itself. Being good in classes without seeming to try that hard, brave students try to ask for help from him. He'll most certainly help, after making you feel like the most pathetic person ever who owes a great person like himself a lot for stooping so low to aide them. He's very particular about his looks and his appearance, because he wants to leave an impression, wants people to notice him and be struck with awe. Needless to say, he is a vain individual who is often times stuck up to other people, especially those who are muggle-born.

Most of his competitive nature comes from being jealous of his sister. He constantly feels like he is in her shadow, and hates her for it, though he does love her dearly (I suppose it's a love-hate thing). Her social grace and natural leadership qualities are things he wishes he had, but instead he comes across as more of a condescending person. Where Anael acquired gifts of charm and a fiery disposition, most probably inherited from their aunt, Lindsey, Gabriel got pretty much the exact opposite. He is cold and finds it hard to communicate with others on a personal level, even once he gets passed the idea that they are below him. Often times called the male reincarnate of his mother, he seems like quite the dark prince, an always present aura of don't even try to talk to me, because I don't care. He has a few close friends whom he trusts, but most people are simply acquaintances who probably don't like him all that much. It's pretty much a mutual feeling.

While he isn't a pro on the friendship side, Gabriel is, ironically enough, good at romance. Not in the way that he's had many past, long relationships, but he has had a string of few day affairs and flings. Most of the time they either end because he is called insensitive – and numerous other, much more nasty words – or because he realizes that the girl isn't good enough for him. He says things without really thinking about how they could effect others, and in the end almost always suffers for it. From afar he seems like a prince, but when someone starts to try and make him open up to them, he becomes standoff-ish. Only when he actually begins to accept them and care about them will his true, princely self make an appearance. It takes a lot of effort though.

HISTORY Gabriel grew up in a home in which he was protected well and showered with all of the attention he wanted from his parents. His and Anael's mother, Alice, not wanting to be anything like her mother, sought to be connected with her children absolutely, and cared for them very much, as did their father. Even with all of the attention and extravagance that he was given as a child at home, he sought more of it. He wanted to be popular, wanted to have many friends, and wanted people to respect him. However, Gabriel had a huge obstacle in his way to achieve that, and that obstacle is his sister, Anael.

Gabriel and his sister don't look like each other very much, and often times people are shocked to hear that they are siblings. This is also accentuated by the fact that they are almost complete opposites personality-wise. Since they were very young, Gabriel has held a jealousy of his sister. Everything always seemed to come to her easily, and he wished he was like her so much that when he was a child he would often imitate what she did and how she acted, probably influenced by the fact that she was very protective over him. However, as he grew, he began to resent this fact about himself, and sought to make himself different from Anael in whatever way possible.

Gabriel has always sought acceptance and attention from anyone and everyone, but there is one person of whom he wishes to hold their full attention utterly and completely. That girl's name is Melanie Leclair, and he's been infatuated with her ever since he could remember. The Zabini and Leclair families, being so close, see each other very often, but Gabriel has hardly ever been able to hold a lengthy conversation with Melanie, because he becomes unusually reserved around her, fearing to make a fool out of himself. He despises the fact that he likes her, probably due to the fact that she is much like his sister and is a very attention seeking person like himself. However, he hasn't been able to stop feeling that way, no matter how deep he buries the feelings.

At Hogwarts, Gabriel has many friend-acquaintances, though only a few close ones, and is both admired and despised by many. He breaks a lot of girls hearts, because even though he's been with many he has never loved anyone but the one person he cannot have. He has a lot of enemies, because he is quite stuck up a lot of the time, and likes to prove he is better and above everyone else. He's quick to try and have more power than others, and so being a prefect, Head Boy, and a Quidditch team member, are all things he strives for (will be edited if he is actually any of these).
