Personality: Oh Kingsley, where to start. The boy is a walking contradiction.
Though he speaks with a deep and rather slow voice, Kingsley's mind is as sharp as a Manticore's claws. He has a natural talent for leading, but he often prefers to take the background role in his classes and clubs. While he's not entirely shy, Kingsley is very rarely the boy to speak first. This causes much inner turmoil for him since he's in love with half the girls in the school. However, Kingsley has never understood panic and has never experienced this said emotion. He's cool as a cucumber, even in the most distressing of situations.
Despite Kingsley's ability to cover the truth (aka Lie with the Best of 'Em) and his small faults involving alcoholic substances, he has a heart of gold.
History: Kingsley is the product of an illicit affair. Though both his parents are Pureblood, they were not married when he was born, leading to some not-so-lovely rumors about the Shacklebolts. However, Mr. Shacklebolt finally put a ring on it when Kingsley was in his second year, so since then things have calmed down a bit.
Still, Kingsley had a relatively normal and happy childhood. He found his knack for concealing the truth at a young age ("I didn't break the vase mum - it was Fluffy that done it, honestly") and has been using it ever since ("I'll be sure to keep an eye out for the person that's sneaking in Firewhiskey, Professor").
After graudation Kingsley plans on joining the Ministry of Magic as an Auror, and he is looking forward to the three years of training to follow. After all, things are not as peaceful as they once were, and Kingsley certainly knows where he stands in the fray.
RP Sample: Kingsley sat at the Gryffindor table, staring across the Great Hall while absent mindedly chewing on a piece of bacon. There she was, the love of his life. Well... one of the loves of his life. But probably the number one love. He struggled to catch her eye, hoping that she would turn her head just so.
She's gotta look over here eventually. Maybe if I focused really hard... Accio gaze? Will that even work?
Unfortunately, Kingsley would never know if it actually worked or if it was sheer luck. At that point it really didn't matter though, as his number one love looked right at him. Jumping on his one chance to actually initiate contact without speaking, Kingsley gave her a casual nod of the head while flashing her his best prize winning smile.
Too bad there was a piece of bacon stuck in it.
Blissfully unaware, Kingsley just kept on smiling.
Score.
