Benjamin "Ben" Cornelius Stafford V
Description: Benjamin Cornelius Stafford V, the golden child of his paternal family, has light blonde and well maintained hair and his father's captivating grey-green eyes. He forever stands slightly taller than his twin sister Alexandria, who bears nearly no resemblance at all to himself, and far below his older brother Patrick. The two were extremely close in their younger years, having grown up together, but the test of time and new places and faces can only tell whether or not they'll continue such a tightly knit relationship.

Personality: Ben, as his siblings and friends call him, has a certain passion for quidditch. In fact, the Manhattan Area Quidditch League's headquarter walls are full with the various regional, national, and international championship game winning photographs, the subject of which are all Benjamin. His favorite position to play on a team is seeker, but he has played chaser and keeper as well. He loves challenge, and when put up to it, anything is possible for Ben. His sister sometimes doesn't understand his logic, but he has learned that in order to retain his place of favor with his father and his father's family, he must continue on being the perfect son, perfect grandson, etc

History: The Stafford family is rooted deeply in Magical London's history. Every summer of his lifetime, Ben spends at his grandfather's London home. The estate had belonged to all of the Benjamin Cornelius Staffords before him, and eventually after his father inherits the proptery, he will too. His grandfather (Ben III) is Ben's favorite relative besides his immediate family. On that subject, he, his twin sister Lexi, and their older brother Patrick all grew up in Manhattan, NYC. He is half blood wizard: his mother being a muggle Broadway star and his father being a wealthy pureblood Healer.Ben is far less concerned with his mother's life as he is with his father's, since magic entertains him far more than muggle things.

Fear: Ben's worst fear is his sister being attacked, since he feels that as the male part of their twinship, he should protect her. Besides that, Ben's longest and best friend is his sister, and anything happening to her would destroy his life. They're a pair, after all. If something should happen to one, then the other would be lost.

Desire: The greatest desire in Ben's life is to succeed- whether his success comes from the quidditch pitch or the classroom, it matters not. Although, a deep wish of his is to one day play seeker for the London Quidditch team.
