Appearence:
The only time Sirius is thankful to be a Black is when his appearance is concerned. Instead of inheriting their pureblood elitist attitude he got the aristocratic demeanour that seems to be common in his family.Picture:
Upon his head sits a mop of shaggy, black hair that Sirius is very proud of. It gives him a look that can be described as ‘casual elegance’ though it is easily styled so that it can change according to his mood.
Sirius’ eyes are a light grey colour. They often portray a lot of emotion and it is easy to decipher what he is thinking just by looking deeply into them. When he is happy they seem to light up and sparkle with life but when a bad mood hits they can darken and become fathomless.
Sirius is quite tall for his age and is probably the tallest Marauder (even if it is only an inch or two). He exercises regularly though, maybe more vigorously than most, to keep fit and his toned and healthy body shows it. He takes any opportunity he gets to show off the result of his hard work and dedication. Some people think Sirius is handsome because of vainness and a whole lot of spells in the morning but, though he can be quite vain sometimes, it is because he looks after his body and got lucky with his genes.

Personality:
The most prominent part of Sirius’ personality is his incredible sense of loyalty to his friends. He would give his life to save theirs without a second thought. His friends are like the family he truly never had and mean the world to him.Likes:
He can either be seen as a very brave person or a very stupid one. Either way he is quick to disregard his fears for good causes, though what he thinks is a good cause can be a lot different to what anyone else thinks is a good cause. For example, the chance to cause Snape humiliation is a very good cause in Sirius’ eyes. He will have a go at anything at least once and he was brave enough to stand up against his family instead of being pressured into thinks he didn’t believe were right, such as their views on blood.
Ever heard of the phrase ‘look before you leap’? So has Sirius but instead of heeding it’s advice most of the time he just ignores it and does what he likes when he pleases, to hell with consequences. What fun is there is listening to the rules all the time? And that is exactly why he spends so much time in detention.
In Hogwarts he is known most, after pranking, for being the biggest lady’s man this side of Diagon Alley. Often his friends have joked that he spends more time in the Astronomy Tower (with girls) than in Gryffindor Tower. He has had a fair few girlfriends and is no stranger to flirting. He even tried to flirt with McGonagall once, for joke purposes only, though it did get him in detention and his friends in hysterics for hours.

Being born into the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black is the one thing Sirius regrets the most in his life. He is embarrassed that those are the people he has to call family. At birth his parents thought they were getting the heir they wanted so badly but unfortunately for them they were very much mistaken. Even at a young age he showed signs of being the black sheep of the family so two years later when Walburga gave birth to another son they devoted their time to ensuring that Regulus would grow up continue the ‘good’ family name.Family:
Sirius got on least well with his mother. The sometimes physical abuse he got from his father didn’t bother him all that much, bruises can heal, but the insults his mother threw at him hurt the most. Hearing the women who is supposed to love you unconditionally tell you to your face that she hates you is always a heart-breaking moment no matter how tough or strong you are.
Getting his Hogwarts letter was a miracle for Sirius. He could finally be somewhere where people didn’t know that his parents were ashamed of him and he could make friends that weren’t scared to talk to him because of what his family were like. On the Hogwarts Express he met James, Remus and Peter and they immediately became friends. With James being pureblood Sirius was scared that he might have heard of his family and not want to talk to him but either he hadn’t heard of the Blacks or he wasn’t bothered.
In his second year they figured out why Remus was disappearing every month
and it was far from the lie he had told them about an ill mother. From then on he was dubbed Moony
and his condition as his ‘furry little problem’. From then on the other three worked hard to become animagus, illegally of course, so they could keep their friend company every full moon. It wasn’t until their fifth year that they achieved it and Sirius could now transform at will into a big, black dog.
The summer before his sixth year Sirius decided that he’d had enough of his family, he couldn’t take it anymore, so he ran away and went to live with James and his parents. Sirius loved living there because he was treated as a second son. This earned him disownment and a blasting from the Black tapestry but Sirius had never been happier.
