As an Ancient Magic user, thatās sort of a given, though. Outside of that (and offensive spells, given his, erm, level of experience with them), he also excels in inanimate transfigurations.
Strength: Above Average
Not long after his arrival at Hogwarts, as Teodoroās interest in magical creatures kicks off, which evolves into a full-blown career caring for them. As such, he spends a lot of time lugging around, or only supplies, but the creatures themselves. And specializing in Mooncalves and Hippogriffs, the weight he grapples with isnāt exactly insignificant.
Speed: Slightly Above Average
Post-graduation, he chases livestock for most of his day. Itās good cardio.
Stamina: Highly Above Average
His passive and active stamina are both significantly high, meaning he can run all day tending animals, then stay up half the night reading before he finally passes out, drooling on his pillow.
Agility: Below Average
Youād think dodging dark wizards would make him a little more nimble on his feet, but as someone who relies more on offense than defense, thatās unfortunately not the caseā¦
Intelligence: Above Average
Hyperlexic, heās been reading since he was four, and hasnāt stopped since, devouring any literature he can get his hands on. It helps.
Charisma: Slightly Below Average
Heās easy to get along with, but the boyās got no rizz. Most of the reason he doesnāt have a lower skill here is because of all the customer service work he did at a young age.
Special Move: Earthās Heartbeat
Itās not offensive, but itās still neat! Able to sense seismic disturbances, Teo can orient himself with them both on land and in water. Not all who wander are lost, after all.

Envy and wrath are the first things that come to mind with Teo and the cardinal sins. From his very early childhood, poor in London, for as much as he recognizes that so many have it worse (and for that, he's grateful for his perceived lack of hardships), he's constantly reminded of what he lacks and how much better many others' lives are.
When Sebastian bemoans his situation as an orphan, a streak of bitterness flares in Teodoro. Sebastian has living family. Teodoro, meanwhile, has nonesuch. When held in Ministry custody (twice no less), and effectively told he has no right to make his own decisions, despite having lived independently for years, fury flares.
But these are latent. These are sins he buries deeply and prays to forget in the name of being the better person, the bigger man. His core sin is lust. Lust not only lingers in the back of his thoughts, but it's the sin he acts on, unlike the rest. It blinds him a key moment, and in his horror afterward, his life is nearly derailed completely.
a greek muse...
Without a doubt, Teodoro is represented by Clio, goddess of history.
Intensely starved for knowledge, Teodoro not only reads voraciously, but takes notes on these works. He exchanges hand-written letters of immense length. When searching for Demiguise statues, he notes the location of each. His "completed" field guide is never fully done, and though it sits on his shelf, rarely at his side once graduated, he constantly slips new sheets within. It might come in handy some day.
a supernatural creature...
Though a Potter-specific creature, Teodoro would be a Ramora.
"The Ramora had immensely strong magical power to anchor ships in place and was a guardian of the seafarers. One of the ways Ramoras could aid ships was by filling their mouths with water so they could act as a ballast to anchor ships. It's based on the real fish remora, whose Latin root means 'delay', reflecting the mythical belief that the fish could anchor ships." (link)
Ever drawn to water and never worried away by its dark depths, like the Ramora, Teodoro is unable to cease reaching out to others and help when it's needed.
a gem...
Sapphires. The deeper and darker blue, the better.
a painting...
Foggy Morning on the Thames, by James Hamilton, 1875
Calm, but not still, between sea and sky, nature eternal and industry burgeoning, Teodoro sits on the cusp of many worlds: Muggle London, the Witches and Wizards of the Highlands, and the breathing ecosystem of both flora and fauna, mundane and magical both, that overlap them all.
The balancing act is not an easy one, but for now, refusing to give completely to any singular body, he finds peace.

Thank you for the tag, @barnabyjr!
Thank you again, @thornsunicorn, for making this!! Template found HERE.
Ever had a nice chocolate tart with fruit filling? Let's use raspberry for example. Have you ever tried that? Ever let it linger in your mouth and just sighed happily over the sweetness of the fruit and way the chocolate melted, smooth and creamy on your tongue? ā¦Now make it dark chocolate. Now darker. Like, 90-100% dark. Bitter enough to make a Frenchman cry.
Thatās the kind of aftertaste Iām talking about. No, Teodoro will not elaborate why.
Edit: saw people with super fucking pretty ones of these and had to up my game XD
While we may never fully understand why his magic laid dormant for so long, Teodoro is a prime example why we as educators cannot afford to overlook any student whoās name appears in our Book. Living fully immersed in Muggle life, he has not only had a solid amount of his childhood torn from him, but stands resolute that he is no less an adult than those that makes up the faculty here. While I dually agree that he stands on the cusp of a transitional phase of his life, and that he is a young man of exceptional talent and ability, his mindset only serves to harm him more.
Since the beginning of the school year, while he has made friends, I fear that many approached him first, and have since been the ones largely maintaining and cultivating their bonds. In coming years, I hope to see him backtrack himself of his own volition; he may not be able to regain some of that lost, but there is still so much to experience and enjoy while still young.
That said, with no record of any living family, due to the duress he has experienced over the year, I am recommending him for a wellness checkāpossibly several over the course of the summer. This would be with as little Ministry intervention as possible, of course. In the event none of our staff are available, I am willing to undertake this myself. I understand he lives in Aranshire, and while those remaining locals are protective of him, an extra visitor or two could not hurt.
As for his upcoming year, he has requested to drop several course, both core and elective. While both his coursework and O.W.L. results reflect a very strong foundation, I would also like to recommend extra coursework over the summer. Should he keep up with that, I see no reason to deny his request, given the specialization he wishes to pursue.
Ah. Lest I forgetā Though his tardies and absences from class are few, given the nature of most of these occurrences tend to skew toward his wandering in the countryside, while I do not enjoy the idea of stripping away oneās privacy, I would like to breech the subject to him of a temporary tracking spell, active only during the school year. While Victor Rookwood and Ranrok may no longer be a threat, neither do I have any doubt that those that wish him harm still exist. Such a measure could potentially be life-saving in a worst case scenario.
Oh, one more.
Note to self: Given his homeās proximity to the castle, should his sixth year schedule be approved and independent study be allotted into his week, I ought open discussion with Phineas, of the idea of allowing him weekend leave of the castle. Gladwinās already given him the means to come and go, and with extra work expected of him, he will ever-much want to go. If properly tracked and his travel potentially corroborated with his neighbors, an extra owl or two announcing heās arrived shouldnāt be a problem.
Note: at this point, Teodoro will have not produced a tangible Patronus. When he eventually does, it will be a unicorn, but as of the end of fifth year, heās got nothing to show for it.

Final notes on student T. Tesoro, taken prior to graduation:
Student has shown a significant increase in social activity since enrollment, in and out of his assigned House. Hosted/chaperoned by Professor Kogawa, his self-initiated Swim Club has seen a measure of success, albeit their numbers decrease substantially during winter months.
Currently attending Professor Howin as both student and assistant, we have chosen to happily buy several of the Beasts in his care for in-class demonstrations. As well, Caretaker Moon has expressed interest in the acquisition of the young man's Thestrels. At current, we see not reason to deny his inquiry.
Student has asked for several letters of introduction to various magical beast breeders, mundane veterinary surgeons, and one instance of a well-traveled Muggle geologistāwhich he assures us has something to do with a dietary plan he means to devise post-graduation for his larger creatures. As per Howinās approval, we have no reason not to indulge him, and have begun correspondence with the Ministry of Magic to locate all the professionals listed.
He is scheduled to attend his N.E.W.T. exams in the coming months and has no restrictions currently placed on his ability to graduate. We wish him the best.
Notes: Given the definition of "temperament" doesn't refer to any specific trait, I assumed this meant "temperance". As well, I'm using "energy" as a stand-in for "stamina". Elaborating: Teodoro is not rattling with excitement, but is able to commit to activity for a long period of time before he begins to tire. His threat level is also redacted, care of M. Weasley, because if you know, you know, and if you donāt, youāre not going to.

Oh my god, these things have been the bane of my fannish existence for years. Outside of an extremely obvious expy or two, I donāt base my characters of anything, especially game-protags. They all spring up organically through the playthrough and get the finer details carved out in post. So seeing charts like these always made me feel so bloody alienated, like I was doing something wrong.
Mostly, I've come to the conclusion that I'm just too autistic for this shit. XD Instead of taking the prompt literally, I interpreted it as āif you could only describe your character through a cocktail mixer of other characters, who would they be?ā
With that said, here we go!
Detailed breakdown under the cut!
Mrs. Brisby - She represents the horrors of feeling small and insignificantāa reflex ingrained in Teodoro from his life as a poor foreigner in London. Like her, he struggles with that weight and the conflicting inertia that spawns from his new responsibilities of wielding Ancient magicāversus the way she carries the mantle of her deceased husbandās name and his achievements. To him, her trials to save her children are a metaphor for both his literal battle to survive and his antagonists, as well as his resolve to remain in the wizarding world post-graduation. She also represents gaining the attention of the rat of oneās dreams.
Littlefoot - First and foremost, he represents loss. Over a decade before the game even begins, Teodoro loses his parents. Before the school year starts, he is removed from the proximity of both his guardian and his employer, as he studies in preparation for his classes. By the end of the year, Professor Fig, the closest thing he's had to a father-figure in years, is dead. Like Littlefoot, Teodoro must consistently choose to take the next step forward despite that pain. Secondly, he represents bonds forged with friends and learning relying on them. Too used to blending in with other adults, with Fig (and the rest of the faculty) too busy to effectively befriend (not to mention the professional boundaries enforced by most of them), Teodoro struggles with relating to his peers. Luckily, through their perseverance, he accepts them, and in time, their support.
Cody - He represents refusing to bow one's head and become a victim, despite the opposing villain's strength and ability. When captured, Cody looks at MacLeach and decides "Alright, you've made me your problem. Let's see how that works out," and proceedes to knife the man's plans more than once with an Ocean's 11 squad made up of local wildlife and MICE. Likewise, set against Rookwood, Harlow, and Ranrokā Teodoro goes, "Well they're clearly not going to let me walk. Ssince it's the right thing to do (and I don't my friends to get killed), I other to team up with Gazelle Batman and whatever the hells Poppy is to deal with them." The love and care he gains for magical beasts also slots in here.
Alan Grant - He represents Teodoro's cool head under pressure. Grant is also a man of contradiction and balance. He brings realism and a healthy skepticism to the tableāthings that sound too good to be true often are. But he also expresses his excitement and wonder without reservation. He's the first in his group to express annoyance at the children present in the tour (Teodoro finds most of his peers exhausting and a little annoying), but also winds up incredibly patient and protective of them both (despite Zenobia's atrociously poor sportsmanship, after returning her Gobstones, Teodoro actively seeks her out for games).
Peter Pan/Banning - He represents the necessity of youth and play. Having graduated from schoolwork at 10 and employed at 11 (a norm for the poor at the time), Teodoro had a very truncated childhood and was forced to grow into independence extremely quickly. At the beginning of the film, Peter has a life, but is not living. From the back half of year five until he's seventeen, Teodoro is pressed quite sternly by his teachers to turn off Adult Modeā¢ļø and reenter childhood while he still can. Conceding to them, he does his best. By the time he and Sharp begin their relationship, Teodoro openly reflects the new joys he's managed to find and is much more playful with that man with he would have been otherwise.
Evelyn O'Connell - A lifelong bibliophile, grounded with just enough manners to blend into proper society, but nary single worry about diving into tombs and dirtying oneself in the pursuit of knowledge (even if said adventure turns into an all out brawl)āthese describe both Evelyn and Teodoro perfectly. Though normally mild-mannered and soft spoken, when pushed, Teodoro doesn't hesitate to snark like she does. He is obliging, but not a doormat.
Honorable mentions go to Milo Thatch (Atlantis, 2001) and Thumbelina (Thumbelina, 1994)
Milo Thatch - Milo is a small-bodied academic outsider placed into the company of hard-boiled and often physically powerful mercenaries. Teodoro has not known anything of real magic until his fifteenth birthday, and very swiftly is embroiled in a plot that could sen the whole world into chaos. Both choose what is right, over what is lucrative (Milo helps save and restore Atlantis, Teodoro seals away the repository of Ancient Magic).
Thumbelina - Thumbelina shares with Mrs. Brisby the feeling of smallness and insignificance, whereas everything is actively trying to KILL Mrs. Brisby, with Thumbelina comes the concept of struggling against what is seen as socially acceptable and navigating the expectations of others. She is kidnapped and repeatedly subjected to the orders of others to conform. Teodoro experiences the same in reverse: stuck under societal expectations, only to be told of his legal requirement to attend a school in Scotland.
Lessons: Heās certain that in the hands of another teacher, History of Magic would be downright thrilling. But alas, itās Binns, and chronically underslept, Teodoro is fucking struggling to stay awake.
Spells: Itās the Unforgivables that take the top of Teodoroās No Thank You list, but he feels thatās a given with most people. Flipendo, howeverā¦he finds both largely useless and needlessly violent. How often do you need to make something massive do a bloody backflip? If you need to attack something, be to the point. Be immediate. Be aggressive. Donāt humiliate it first.
āMeanwhile as an explorer-of-places-he-probably-shouldnāt-be-in, Revelio and Lumos are unintrusive, non-violent, and incredibly useful.
Notes:
āI am running out of means to politely decline a group of Slytherinsā repeated invitation to join their polycule. Please advise.ā -T. Tesoro
He has no idea how serious the group are, but Gwyn and Sebastian keep insisting he join, whereas Ominis will not confirm nor deny the other twoās intent. Itās driving Teodoro a little batty.
