Let me tell you, a little something about myself[/color]
The Macnair's are reasonably well off, although recently more through his father's expanding breeding business as their pureblood line is dying out. Walden Macnair was the only son born to Alasdair and Lorna Macnair, born on a particularly grey barren day in November, in Fraserburgh Scotland. Neither of his parents had longed for a large family, as both adhered to the Pureblood tradition of producing a son to carry on the line. Walden, as he grew up, never wanted for siblings either. Well provided for and rather spoilt, by the time he was old enough to walk and talk (which took a little more time for Walden than it did for the average child) he was already demanding and possessive over his family's estate. Although many children would have been lonely growing up alone in the large Macnair home, Walden thrived on the independence and the attention, although he admittedly talks up having a 'lonely childhood' to get sympathy from the girls and appear sensitive.
When he wasn't fishing, or tormenting his mother for more toys, Walden helped his father tend the Aethenons that he bred in the large stables near their home. The Aethenon's were Alasdair's pride and joy, but Walden wasn't jealous of the special status the animals had with his father. Rather it made him feel grown up and important to help feed and care for the graceful creatures. When he was still quite young, around seven or eight, Walden grew particuarly close to a young weak foal. He had never had a pet as such, although there were many dogs, cats and owls around as well as the Aethenons. But he became particularly attached to this creature, as impressionable and innocent children often do. He was distraught to find one morning that his father had 'taken care' of the foal because it would not breed well. This experience shook the young Walden until Macnair Snr explained to his son the business of breeding, even convincing a reluctant Walden to watch as he had to drown a sickly kitten from the cat's last litter in the loch. It was more humane to let the weak ones go, Alasdair explained. No longer sickened, Walden was entranced by the idea. Before he received his Hogwarts letter aged eleven, he had already 'helped' his dad with both the Aethenons and the cats. In fact by the end of his first year at Hogwarts Walden had gained somewhat of a macabre reputation in Slytherin for tormenting the small animals that plagued the dungeons. Nothing too horrible, you understand, just spiders, mice and the like. Although for the most part Walden tried to keep his little 'hobby' under wraps. He had more important things to concentrate on anyway.
Not lessons of course, but moreso the aforementioned friends, parties, girls and a growing ambition to join the ranks of the Dark Lord once he leaves school. Surely in exchange for his services to the ‘Cause’ the Dark Lord wouldn’t mind him stamping out a few mongrels in a more drawn out fashion? It’s Walden’s personal belief that he would be an excellent asset as a Death Eater in the services of extracting information through torture, for example.
Wally has never been, and still isn't the most kindhearted of boys. He is by no means cold, in fact Wally thinks himself the life of the party and is incredibly loud and raucous most of the time. Not being very academic, Wally likes to be aware and be invited to every party he can. He doesn't tend to do anything by halfs either, which means that at said parties he'll tend to the be the first to arrive and the last to leave, or rather pass out the sofa/bed/nearest lucky lady. He also "entertains" most of the party guests with his self-professed natural talent at comedy, which usual consists of crude jokes, mostly about 'Your mum'.
Despite not being regarded as 'cold' in that sense, however, Walden is not an archetypal 'nice boy'. His language is atrocious, and he has a blatant disregard for treating other people as equals. Walden has a handful of friends who he treats with a reasonable amount of respect and it's tough luck to everyone else as far as he's concerned. With his friends he is quick to defend and could even be called 'loyal', but unfortunately due to Walden's general misanthrophy this is a good side that is rarely seen. This is evident even more so to girls. Walden has never had much respect for the 'fairer sex' to so speak. As far as he's concerned, girls deserve the gentlemen routine only until Walden reaches his er - ultimate goal with them. Then he switches to the 'hump 'em and dump 'em' approach. Despite being 'experienced' with girls, Walden has never had a proper girlfriend and would much prefer making lists of the girls in their year with Mulciber - his favourite being 'Frigid List' and 'All Teasin' No Pleasin''.
Walden is certainly not an intellectual or an academic, but he is surely Slytherin-esque in that he is very ambitious. He is certain that he's destined for big things, and that Big Things aren't nessescarily synonymous with getting an O in Potions. He fully intends to 'make something' of himself and not live off his dad's business or the job that he has set up at the Ministry of Magic. Walden has always considered himself independent and although he likes socialising and being with other people he by no means needs other people and aside from a select few people he has no emotional ties holding him back from his potential. And Walden, as well as being ambitious, is also hugely arrogant and self-assured, to he thinks he has a whole lot of potential.
Walden's sometime-misanthropy also manifests itself in his sadistic streak. Walden has developed rather a kick out of seeing small animals in pain, or rather, causing that pain. Now, he's older and wiser and doesn't get the same kick out of burning the legs of spiders as he used to. Instead he gets a bigger kick out of seeing people in pain. Usually people weaker or smaller than himself in some way, because it's easier for himself. Naturally, at a school with as many rules and prefects and watchdog teachers as Hogwarts, Walden rarely gets to fulfil his sadistic kick in hurting other people physically or with magic, but he has been known to beat the shit out of the weedier Slytherins in the years below, and it's more difficult to lose housepoints for causing emotional pain, which he's also become very adept at. But after all Wally only has one year or so left of school, and then he'd be free both to fulfill his potential and exercise any pent up sadism he might have kept under wraps at school.
[tl;dr? sadist, sexist, wannabe death-eater]
Macnair is a rather heavily built which is one of his favourite features. He stands reasonably tall at around 6'' (although he professes to be 6'1 and predicts to be this height by the time he leaves Hogwarts), and is by no means skinny. Working with animals most of his life and playing Beaters' position means that Mulciber has what he personally considers an enviously muscular physique. So much so in fact, that when not playing Quidditch or helping his dad tend to Aethenons in the Summer Walden trains almost incessantly and convinces his mum and anyone else reasonably good at botany and potions to brew up performance enhancing concoctions for him.
Being image concious also extends over Walden's face and hair as well as 'being buff'. He is very concious about being effeminate and so any beauty regime he may have is kept well under wraps but he does put a great deal of surreptitiously teasing his hair in the morning so it looks carefully dishevelled. Walden has black hair [often spiked just so, obviously] and piercing blue eyes, which is again, rather proud of, although these are usually hidden, again rather pretentiously, behind aviator sunglasses from the first sight of weak sun in March or April.
Walden would very much like to be tanned to complete his look as the picture of health but being pale and pasty is the one area of his appearance he's not confident about. Living in Scotland all year around is admittedly not the most exotic of climates after all. To make himself feel better about the lacklustre complexion Walden adds various 'rebellious' touches. He makes sure, for instance, that the various scars he has from Quidditch and helping to tend the Aethenons and Abraxans are visible most of the time, to make him look more dangerous and ~edgy. Also, being the edge of cool means that Walden has invested in a few amateur piercings and tattoos. They're not particularly impressive (one earring, one nipple piercing that very nearly became infected and a shaky 'W' tattoo over a hippogriff on his shoulder) but they make him look older than seventeen, which is always a good thing for attracting older women, right?
