Yojiro Temura

[Yojiro Temura]

Name: Yojiro Temura
Nickname(s): Yoj, Yoji; Yojiro-sensei (only by close pupils)
Gender: Male
Age: 28
House: Gryffindor
Appearence:

It’s very evident by his appearance that Yojiro is of Oriental descent. His hair is naturally very straight and a very dark colour, black as most people would say. His eyes are almond-shaped and slanted, unfathomably dark, nearly the same colour as his hair. However, usually his natural hair and eye colour are masked by cosmetic means.

He has the habit of dyeing his hair different colours, and sometimes, it’s a different colour almost every month. It depends on what phase he’s going through at the time and how long it lasts. Usually, when it’s not its natural black, it’s dyed a dark brown, bleached blond, or sometimes, even whitish-blond. He alternates between wearing no coloured contact lenses and wearing opaque blue contact lenses, which make his eyes seem a very pale sky blue.

Physically, Yoji isn’t a very intimidating person. While he is taller than average (he had been the tallest in his year during school), he is rather thin with a small bone structure. He appears fragile and feminine on occasion, but he still has a way of exuding masculinity.

However, his limbs and abdomen are considerably toned for his small weight, from rigorous physical activity he’s participated in since childhood. He enjoys Muggle football (though he dislikes American football), martial arts, and swimming, the product of this hard work being a rather pleasant physique.

Personality:

Yoji is a very quirky fellow. From childhood, he has been offbeat, unique, although a little eccentric, but not in a bad way at all. His strangeness often puts people off, as he seems a bit too bizarre for their tastes, but once people get to know him as the compassionate, sincere man he is, they generally enjoy his company and warm up to him.

A self-proclaimed “lesbian in a man’s body”, Yoji is very smooth with the ladies. He isn’t necessarily a ‘cad’, though he is something of a lady-killer. In general, he can be very charming (something he always uses to make puns on his occupation as Charms teacher), and most women, whether they are interested or not, tend to like him.

He’s sincere to the point that it’s a fault. If he feels a certain way about someone, he will not hesitate to let them know. He doesn’t make friends through flattery or through lying or exaggerating, but instead, usually acquires them by showing them his sincerity.

His main personality flaw is his inability to be very serious. He acts a lot younger than his age, often cracking immature and even perverse jokes. It takes a lot to get him to be serious in a normal social situation, but eventually, after being told several times to behave himself and act mature, he will act his age. In the most intimate conversations, he will, however, generally act appropriately.

He has a relatively short attention span when it comes to most things, which is ironic considering his profession of choice. However, because of his love for Charms, he can manage to stay focused on one topic for lengthy amounts of time. As a teacher, he is rather well-liked by most of his students because of his understanding personality traits, as well as his youth—that is, he can relate better to most of the students, being closer to their age and having gone through the same things more recently.

Though he doesn’t play Quidditch, he’s fiercely competitive when it comes to the school’s Quidditch matches, and the World Cup.

Personal History:

Yoji was born to a Japanese father, Hojo, and a Japanese-American mother, Anita, in the United Kingdom. He is their second child and only son, born between an older sister, Aya, and two younger sisters, Miki and Hana. Before his younger sisters were born, he, his parents, and his sister moved from London to Sapporo, Japan. When he was three, his younger sister Miki was born. For a few years, he remained the middle child, and got along fairly well with his sisters. Instead of playing ball with boys his age or doing other things with them, he’d often spend more time playing with his sisters and their friends, which caused many neighbourhood boys to be jealous of him. He was raised learning English and Japanese. Three more years had passed and his youngest sister was born. A year later, his family moved back to London, where he remained the rest of his childhood.

Yoji’s mother was a witch, having attended a magic school in Japan, and though his father was a Muggle, he was neither surprised nor concerned that all of his children were born with magic. Yoji showed very subtle signs of magic from a young age, so he had always been well-informed of the Wizarding world. A year after his sister left for school, Yoji soon received his letter, and was more than excited to find others his age like him. Even as a child, he had been friendly and spunky, so he had no trouble making friends. Upon starting his first year, he was sorted into Hufflepuff.

He had always known his ambition was to be a teacher (though he was also convinced he was going to be a model), for he liked making influences on people’s lives. He scored well on his O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s in all areas except for Potions, which he never cared for. His favourite class was Charms, and he always received the highest marks in his year. When he left school after finishing his seventh year, he immediately returned to work as a teacher’s assistant, finally taking over as Hogwarts’ Charms professor at age twenty.
