    Appearance:
    Nash has a light tan skin color. Deep blue eyes most females find themselves lost in. He has rather short, very messy brown hair. He has a long face with a nice jaw line and slanted eyes, a narrow nose and a pointed chin. He is 6' 4" and about 191 lbs. He has a very athletic build, although one wouldn't be able to tell due to some of his clothing choice. His clothes are usually quite practical and he prefers them to be loose which makes him look a lot slimmer than he is. A lot of women tend to find him attractive, and his voice puts the whole package together. Those soft lips open and a suite deep voice usually will find its way to the heart of almost anyone he encounters.
    History:
    Alberta's second pregnancy was definitely the hardest on the poor woman. She had no idea as to why she was getting so big this time during the pregnancy as she was so small the first time around with her eldest son. The constant heart burn is what led her to believe she was having another boy, but she never expected two. So it was really not only a surprise on her but her husband Malachi Crouch as well, although it was the greatest surprise he could have asked for.

    Twin boys! Nash Marty Crouch born at 4lbs 9oz, the eldest of the twins born twelve minutes prior to his brother. Nash was a silent baby but very healthy, all smiles. He was far from a problem as an infant, his parents couldn't have asked for a better baby.

    Once he was a toddler things changed for him. Nash was no longer as loving as he was the day they took him home. His tantrums were long and painful causing servants, midwives and house elves all a problem. Luckily for Mrs. Crouch she never had to deal with the tantrums or crying. Nash grew up in the care of the house servants.

    When Nash first started using magic he was five. He had been doing stuff for a while, little things. Little things like writing his name in the air, lighting candles without using a match. His first big blast though was at five when he sent his twin brother flying back after screaming at him for being unworthy of their family name. It was hard for Nash to ever get along with his twin.

    Nash stayed close at his older brother's side after his parent's death from the age six to eleven. He began a learn lot about both muggle and magical politics. By the time he was eleven and received his letter to Hogwarts he already knew what it was he wanted to do with his life. He would do what his father and elder brother had done and enter right into politics.

    Arriving at Hogwarts he wasn't out to make friends right away. He didn't need friends he needed people who were going to be assets. He was happily sorted into Slytherin. From there he immediately befriended those who mentioned their parents working in the ministry, talking to girls whose fathers owned large plots of land or owned big buildings within the community. He became even closer with his professors, doing extra work and even offering his spare time to tutor younger students. He needed assets people who could help him to achieving high things in his future.

    At sixteen he was informed by his brother about his father's wishes about his arranged marriage. From here on out he worked himself to accomplish what it was he needed in order to prepare himself to be the man a bride wanted. He studied harder, took more courses. He even gave his extra time to many open job positions around the community. He was well liked by plenty of people in the community for being such a helpful man for Upper Class. This earned him respect, and that respect is what got him his internship in the ministry at eighteen. By nineteen he owned a Hippogriff rather than a horse.

    With the money he had been making and the now successful job he had in the ministry being the Junior Assistant to the Minister he was prepared. He bought his first bit of land in Wellingtonshire. A decent home with numerous rooms, both bedrooms, studies, baths, dining room, and secret passages, as well as a much needed wine cellar.

    He is now twenty four and still very well-liked by many. He has high ambitions within the Ministry now and many believe Crouch will go far; could Minister be in his future? Perhaps! He is about to announce his engagement after his mother's ring was finally handed down to him. He is now ready to take one of the final steps in his life career.






    Personality:
    Nash is a dominant and powerful young man who is willing to go through anything to get what he wants and believes he deserves. He is very brave and doesn't back down from any challenge even if it's one he may lose or an argument where he may be wrong in the matter. He thinks he is always right and is rather arrogant. On the plus side he is a romantic and would do just about anything for the woman in his life. Although he has been around in his younger years he knows the time is coming to settle down and he is ready for that. He wants to make a full commitment to a woman and treat her like a queen. His family usually comes second compared to his woman, unless it's his sister November. She holds an important place in his heart. He doesn't do well with people who don't believe in politics the way he does. He is very into pureblood supremacy.
