Appearance:

Yorick stands at 5'5" (5’8”-ish final). His hair is blonde and straight, and his eyes are blue. He is fair skinned. His clothes are respectable, but nothing that stands out over-much unless he has managed to splatter paint on himself. He is left handed.

History:

1870 —On the first day of April, the Ballcocke family welomed their first son into their gingerbread-esque townhouse in Cardiff. Since he was born on April Fool’s, he was named after the fool in Hamlet.

1872 — Another boy, Mercutio, joins the Ballcocke family.

1874 — Titus, a third boy, is born. Desdemona goes off to Hogwarts.

1877 — The final Ballcocke child, a girl named Cordelia, is born.

1878 — Tamora goes off to Hogwarts.

1881 — Desdemona graduates. It is finally time for Yorick to go to Hogwarts, and he is sorted into Ravenclaw.

1882 — Lonely and having spent his first year primarily only in the company of his sister Tammy and one of his dormmates, the beginning of the first year sees Yorick joining a 'secret society' called the Black Quills. He occasionally worries that he'll end up being asked to do something odd, though he's not sure what to expect and nothing iffy ever surfaces.

1883 — Mercutio joins Yorick at Hogwarts. Yorick chooses Ancient Runes as an elective because drawing runes looks like fun.

1885 — It is nearly time for Tamora to graduate. Yorick prepares to enter his fifth year in the fall, when he will be joined by Titus.

Personality:

Intelligent. Artistic. Shy around people he’s attracted to. Awkward when embarrassed. Occasionally outgoing. Friendly. Prone to moodiness. No real sense of direction.
