general description: A mass of curly dirty blond hair slightly obscures one side of his face, but is kept relatively neat and tidy during the day. Fairly average height for his age, of slim build but hunched stature; as though he is trying to appear smaller than he actually is amongst a crowd. He has blue eyes, a small mouth and mostly wears his uniform, even at weekends unless he’s venturing to Hogsmeade.

weaknesses: Being envious, Potions and Herbology classes, Being negative, Dual-personality (one when with his twin, the other when he’s alone) and shyness
dementor: When Lorcan was five-years-old, his (slightly) older twin brother locked him in the cold pantry and (as it was revealed afterwards) had forgotten about it and been distracted by something else. Lorcan remembers the cold, dark room and idea of being trapped forever: so panic-stricken, in fact, he couldn’t get up from the floor or voice his position.
boggart: Enclosed spaces
mirror of erised: To make Parents proud, to be surrounded by fortune and (a rather horrible one) to look different to Lysander
amortentia: Freshly baked bread, bonfire or burning, honeysuckle and fresh sheets
veritaserum “I hate the way that Lysander steals all of the attention” and “When I’m alone, I like to envision myself as someone else”

history: It is particularly difficult to predict how well you will manoeuvre around the Scamander household; as it’s pretty much a hoarding place for ominous crates and boxes. Lorcan’s parents work extremely hard and around the clock to ensure that their home business is running smoothly, and more often than not he’ll come across something plastered with a large: ‘DO NOT POKE’ sign. Luna and Rolf are both inventors of their magical party supplies and many of such are still prototypes or in testing, so it’s custom for a corner of their pantry to explode whilst the family are having dinner (in which case nobody bats an eyelid: it’s that commonplace). When the twins were younger though, not only were these boxes stowed away safely but the business wasn’t exactly booming in those days; so there were few childhood accidents.
Yes: The Quibbler is still going nowadays! Elderly Xenophilius Lovegood isn’t as energetic as he used to be, so he has passed down the responsibility to his daughter Luna. In between inventing, calculating accounts, management and postal arrangements of their home business; Luna and Rolf still find time (somehow) to deliver a weekly edition of Quibbler news. They do have others working for them, however, to stem the workflow: otherwise they would have no time for their sons. Incomprehensively, when Lorcan and Lysander were young (and even now), they never missed out on spending time with their parents. In fact, Lavish Radish is a cherished family business, which means every member of the family gets involved. The twins’ childhood was very fun-fuelled and eventful; although it was introverted Lorcan that sometimes wished it wasn’t.
Lorcan is a little reserved and he gets that from his Father. He sometimes feels as though he is living in the shadow of his twin brother, and can get very jealous sometimes of him and others. However: when the two are together Lorcan almost becomes a different person. It is incredibly difficult to set them apart when they are together; but when separate it is seemingly simple. In a way, Lysander is Lorcan’s energy: he brings him alive.
When the twins first started Hogwarts, everybody had trouble distinguishing between the two wide-eyed bouncy-haired blonds as they spent their time exclusively together, not really letting anyone else in. Their stand-offish demeanour was very off-putting to the other boys and girls of their year, and it was only really in the third year where they actually began communicating and bonding with others. Lorcan was slightly uneasy about this at first and was jealous of seeing Lysander laughing and joking with others. Half way through third-year, Lorcan stuck a piece of Drooble’s gum in the hair of one of Lysander’s female friends, as though retaliating to the abandonment. A couple more episodes like this happened, and; after the twins having a big argument, everything sort of settled after that. Lorcan began accepting his position as an individual and actually started enjoying having a life apart from Lysander.
The two are still close, mind, and often fend for one another. Also during fourth-year, for example, it became evident that Lorcan was getting bullied by a few other students. Lysander saved him from one episode, but that wasn’t enough to completely clear them away. Lorcan evidently wants to prove to himself that he can stand up to them without anyone else’s help. He is often fixated on ‘becoming another person’ or ‘changing’ so that he can stop feeling so jealous of others and his brother.- - - - - - -
