HISTORY: https://www.hp-lexicon.org/character/black-family/sirius-black/

PERSONALITY: Sirius is not your typical member of the Black family. First of all, he was sorted into Gryffindor, unlike presumably every other member of his family, who were Slytherins. The thing about Gryffindors is that they are generally smart people, but have a tendency to do completely idiotic and sometimes amazing things in the name of friendship. This is certainly the case for Sirius, who also happens to be one of the first Gryffindors in his family in a very long time. He is one of the best friends you could ever have, if he’s decided he likes you. (He might have a bit of a superiority complex, but you would too if you were the heir to the Most Noble and Ancient House of Black.) Regardless, he is a Gryffindor, with all that ‘daring, nerve, and chivalry’ nonsense that comes with it.

Firstly, Sirius is quite intelligent. He would have to be, to have helped make the Marauders map before he was even done with school; and to have become an unregistered Animagus when he was fifteen years old. He also managed to enchant two-way mirrors to share with his friends (primarily James) when they were in different detentions. He is quick to pick up on things and can generally always find a creative way out of something. (Which is useful, when you were as much of a prankster as he and his friends tended to be.) He did well in classes, particularly Transfiguration; but tended to become easily bored and so fixated on ….more interesting things to do. Like pranks, mostly.

As stated, Sirius can be a bit of an asshole. He was raised in a very rich pureblood family, and as a consequence is rather used to getting the good things in life and feeling like he’s --well, above the law. He’s not as bad as he used to be, hanging around Remus and James for the better part of nine years has done him some good; but he still has an appreciation for the finer things and isn’t shy about getting them when he can. He is very used to things happening as he pleases and when he pleases, and doesn’t like taking no for an answer. Doing stupid, reckless, possibly death-defying things are events that happen on a day that ends in y. Rules are a bit of a foreign concept for him, breaking them is loads more fun than following along with everyone else. He has little respect for authority; unless someone has shown him good reason that they deserve respect they won’t get any.

Bad tempers tend to run in the Black family. As we can see in Order of the Phoenix, Sirius’ mother doesn’t tend to shy away from insults and pretty much verbally abusing her eldest son. He shoulders it off most of the time, but he can be just as vicious as his mother when he’s in the mood for it. For the most part, Sirius tends to be very even-keeled, unless you hurt or insult someone he considers family.

To be honest, Sirius has had to take his family where he can find them, since his actual one is kind of horrible. (Aside from Regulus, some of the time, and also Andromeda.) He never exactly fit in with the rest of the Blacks, and so the family he found at Hogwarts was the one he actually cared about. He’s felt like the odd man out a few times too many in his childhood; and so has a bit of a soft spot for those generally considered the weird or quiet ones. When Sirius loves, he loves through good and bad and that’s not going to change, unless someone does something particularly awful. Once his loyalty is earned, it’s not going anywhere. He loves deeply and will do anything for those he cares about, even if it means doing dull things like being patient and not insulting everyone he happens to dislike and somewhat behaving. In addition to giving love, he also likes -- well, receiving it, and (usually) not in a dirty way. He is unashamedly an attention whore, and quite likes being the center of attention whenever possible. Sure, it might get him in trouble most of the time; but at least he’s not being ignored!

Despite all the temper problems, tendency to be severely annoying, and still lingering spoilt-child issues, Sirius is pretty much the best friend anyone could ask for. He loves and protects his friends like they are his family; because they pretty much are. He trusts them through thick and thin, and is assured that they would do the same for him. He is generous and kind to those he deems worthy of respect and considers A Good Sort; though he does have his own tendencies of being a bullying ass to -- those who are also being asses of some sort.

CANON POWERS: At this point in his life, Sirius is a fully-fledged Hogwarts graduate, with all the magical knowledge that comes with. He’s rather skilled in defense against the Dark Arts, considering he’s been fighting a war for the past few years. Had things gone differently, he would likely have worked in the ministry or tried to become an Auror. He’s also got more than the usual wizard’s knowledge of the Dark Arts, coming from a prominent pureblood family. He is also very good with wandless magic, charms, and transfiguration, being an Animagus with the form of a large black dog. Sirius is a bit more of a mechanically-minded tinkerer than a ‘normal’ pureblood as well, as he owns (or owned) his own motorcycle.
