Character Information
Full Name: Niccolo Raffaele Black
Nickname: Nico
Gender: Male
Blood Type: Pure
Nationality: English/Italian
Orientation: Heterosexual
Birthdate: August 7
Age: 21
Pet:
Known Parents: Regulus Black, Catarina Marino
Known Siblings: Isabella Black, Kaitlyn Black
Wand: Alder, 11 inch, chimera scale fragment & phoenix tail feather
Appearance
Rather unlike the rest of his family as well as extended family, Niccolo isn’t all that tall. Possibly because of his Italian heritage Nico only stands at about 5’10½ which is somewhat above average for an Italian, but only half an inch taller than most of the female members of his family and a few inches shorter than his male family members. His half Italian heritage also played a heavy roll in the rest of his appearance. Much like his mother, Niccolo has beautiful olive skin, dark brown hair and rich mahogany eyes. His good looks have often gotten him a great deal of female attention.
Personality
Nico can come off as arrogant, uncaring and a fair bit shallow but in reality he is none of those. While Nico takes great pride in his looks and body he is also fairly insecure about his height especially when he is around his family, while he knows that his family doesn’t mean to tease in a mean way it still gets under his skin fairly often. Despite their well meaning teasing and frequent jabs at his choice in lifestyle, Nico loves his family and friends fiercely and would do anything to protect them and ensure their happiness. Even though he developed the bad habit of bouncing from beautiful woman to beautiful woman and having no involvement with them afterwards, he was never harsh with them and as gentlemanly as one could be in those sorts of encounters. If ever someone Niccolo cared for was ever in need of help, he would jump at the chance to do everything he could do to assist them whether it interfered with his own plans or not.
History
Niccolo was third child born to Regulus Black and Catarina Marino. His twin elder sisters were born before their father had even gotten through his second year and Nico came along before Regulus had gotten through his third. Catarina was twenty at the birth of Nico, who ended up being the last child of the pair. Despite Regulus being in school, the young father spent every moment of time with his children and Catarina that he could. Having become the favorite son in his parents’ eyes Regulus often spend large portions of the summer and winter holidays in Italy with Cat and his children. He didn’t tell his parents about his children, but they were pleased by his interest in Catarina as she came from a wealthy pureblood family. Reg was fairly certain that if his parents were away of how Cat’s family actually behaved then they wouldn’t be so keen, but the lies gave him the chance to spend with his family, Nico in particular. Regulus had high hopes that he could raise his son as he wish that his own parents had raised himself and his brother. He didn’t want his children to grow up thinking that they was only one way of doing things and only one right way of thinking. Unfortunately, Regulus died when Nico was only four, thus putting a premature end to the hopes the young couple had for their life together and their life with their children. Much as Regulus had feared, his mother turned her rage at the loss of her son towards Catarina and believed that she was the cause for Regulus’ death. Within a few years of losing his father, Nico also lost his mother at the hands of his grandmother.
After Catarina’s murder, her mother took in the three orphaned children and raised them as her own, often showing them pictures of Cat and Regulus. Nico found it strange to be without his sisters when they left for Hogwarts, but he took to following around male family members and learning a fair bit about vehicles and how to fix the, learning he continued during breaks from school. Nico was sorted in to Gryffindor as his sisters had been, and their uncle had been as well. Nico bonded with a few people, a cousin in Slytherin and a few distant cousins that were scattered in the other houses. One person in particular that he formed a close bond with was a girl in Slytherin by the name of Delia Reece. His friendship with Delia gave him someone to spend time with instead of those he’d grown up with, which was quite a relief for Nico even if he did have a bit of a crush on her, keeping a picture of her next to his bed at home.
As the years progressed, things kept a relatively normal path for Nico. He’d spend his holidays in Italy and enjoy his school years spending time with Delia and his other friends. Things with Delia had the potential of turning in to a serious relationship, but no formal commitment was ever made. They’d hook up on occasion and held romantic feelings, but there was no commitment and his school years were the start of a long string of one night stands for Niccolo. After graduation Nico returned to Italy with most of his family. Kaitlyn was living in Ireland for her chosen career, but Bella worked in Italy and that was where most of the family was. While Nico made occasional visits back to England he remained in his well maintained comfort zone. He had moved back to his mother’s villa with Isabella with strict rule that he was not to be bringing any of his whores there, as Bella called them. Bella hadn’t needed to create the rule as Nico would never have considered defiling the home that had been meant for them all to grow up in as a family.
Unfortunately, as time passed Nico’s visits to England started dwindling off, especially after the return of Voldemort. Eventually though, Nico started returning to England again more frequently. With Bella deciding to quit her modeling job and move back to England full time, Nico also decided to get his own apartment there as well. Not too long after moving back to England, Nico decided to make a trip to Hogsmeade after Bella banned him from their apartment building. While in the village, Nico ran in to Delia in one of the shops which led to the pair spending more time together. After a run in with one of her worse mistakes which resulted in Nico beating the crap out of the boy for having the audacity to call Delia a whore, Nico decided to take Delia away for a little while. Nico took her to his mother’s villa in Italy. While the pair was back to how they had been, neither one had really given up on sleeping around. After Nico made the mistake of hooking up with a girl that turned out to be a death eater, Nico decided that it was high time to slow down before things ended badly. He went to Delia for someone to talk to that wouldn’t judge him only to find out that she was having a similar issue, but hers was that she was potentially pregnant. Nico took it upon himself to weed through the possible father’s until it was just down to himself. To his great surprise, the idea of having a child with Delia didn’t terrify him. He took care of getting an appointment for her so that they could find out whether or not she was pregnant, resulting in a fairly certain negative result. After the chat he’d had with Delia’s mother, Nico was feeling guiltier than before for having left which seemed to have caused the downward spiral with Delia. He also felt extremely guilty because his family in Italy had been requesting his return for quite some time and he’d been making excuses in order to stay in England with Delia but they needed him back. Telling Delia that he had to go back and he wasn’t intending on taking her now that things were settled resulted in a fight and Nico eventually ended up giving in. He couldn’t risk leaving Delia on her own with all the problems that she was facing, even if it meant that he’d have to introduce her to his family. The trip to Italy turned out far better than Nico had initially thought. He finally convinced Delia to move in with him and to at least try and start her own store for her clothes, Delia had managed to convince him to start an auto shop as well. To top off the visit, it also resulted in a positive pregnancy with Delia, to which Nico was actually looking forward to.
