Damian Lestrange (lore)

Personality

Damian is a walking paradox. He has a very strong personality and a short temper, but at the same time he can be really good at masking and controlling his emotions if needed. He is prideful and stubborn, but this also make him pretty committed and strong-willed. Almost never serious, always too serious; too deep, too shallow. Too sensitive, too cold hearted. Like a collection of paradoxes.

Being raised in the Malfoy family gave him a blood purist belief also an arrogant and superiority complex behavior. He believes in the pure blood supremacy and looks down on muggle-borns and muggles but unlike his parents, he doesn't believe they deserve the lesser beings should be chased, tortured or murdered, he simply considers they should know their place and serve them but he has better tolerance for half-bloods.

He is highly ambitious and determined, driven by a strong desire to achieve greatness within the magical community. His ambition fuels his actions and decisions, propelling him to seek power and recognition. Damian is expected to be intelligent and strategic, possessing a sharp mind that allows him to excel academically and navigate complex magical challenges. His strategic thinking enables him to plan ahead and anticipate outcomes in various situations. He is likely to be charismatic and persuasive, capable of influencing others to support his goals and alliances. His charm may mask deeper motives or serve as a tool to manipulate situations to his advantage. While driven by ambition, Damian Lestrange may exhibit moral complexity. His actions could range from noble intentions to morally questionable decisions, reflecting the internal conflicts and choices he faces within his life. As a character in a magical world filled with challenges and adversaries, Damian is expected to be resourceful and resilient. He likely adapts quickly to changing circumstances and uses his skills and abilities effectively to overcome obstacles.

He underwent development throughout his fifth year of school, revealing layers of his character, motivations, and relationships with others, experiencing moments of inner conflict and doubt, especially as he becomes embroiled in darker aspects of the wizarding world under Voldemort's influence. This complexity adds depth to his character, showcasing his struggles with conscience and the pressures placed upon him. Despite his outward bravado, Damian harbors fear and insecurity, particularly when faced with daunting challenges or the expectations placed upon him by Voldemort and his Death Eater associates. His vulnerabilities humanize him amidst his otherwise privileged and sometimes harsh demeanor, showing glimpses of remorse and internal struggle. His journey involves grappling with the consequences of his actions and ultimately experiencing a path toward redemption, albeit fraught with challenges and moral dilemmas.

He is sarcastic and has a dark humor, very witty and cynical, also very creative. During his first years at school he used to be very cocky, flirty without trying. The kind of guy who never pays attention to any girls and yet he gets them all the time anyway. His short temper often getting him in trouble for fighting. After his 6 year he became more serious, cold and even more violent all due to the great pressure that Voldemort put over him. Being haunted constantly by the things he was forced to do.

Despite all this he is very devoted to the people he cares about. He is a good friend, very sensitive, loyal and trustworthy. He has violent tendencies either to defend himself of the people he cares about. He is extremely brave to the point of being reckless.

Damian is very jealous and possessive, territorial. He is insecure inside because he considers himself unworthy and tainted because of who his parents are (Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange). His love language are physical touch and words of affirmation.
