overall personality:
PJ is Paternal. He adores taking care of his girls, loves expressing his love with food and comfort. If one had to pin a label on his love language, it would definitely be Acts of Service and Quality Time. The only reason he wasn't in Ravenclaw is because he reasoned that he would starve by holing up in the tower and reading his life away. At least in Hufflepuff he was close enough to smell the food cooking, which could entice him to actually eat at least once a day.
He has little motivation for a grand life, just a comfortable one, and is immensely proud of his wife's accomplishments in her field. While politics are not something he puts much thought in--a priviledged view, he knows--he has recently started paying more attention to the goings on around him. He might not be very active, but he won't back down from his opinions when challenged on them.

Phillip James Gordon Peters, better known as PJ, was born late on the 12th of November as the first flurries of the year fell upon the Irish ground. He was a quiet child, hardly making a fuss unnecessarily--a trait his parents were grateful for. Curious about the world, he explored their expansive backyard as often as he was allowed, inventing villains to defeat among the trees and cliffs of his seaside home. Young as he was, he fancied himself a pirate, and carried his wooden ‘cutlas’ with him everywhere for years.
At Hogwarts, he was sorted into Hufflepuff after a lengthy discussion between himself and the Hat--after which the Hat seemed a bit resigned (as much as a sentient hat can look resigned) while PJ hopped down and skipped off with a grin. Throughout his stay, PJ spent the vast majority of his time in the Library, reading up on whatever subject caught his fancy of the moment. While studious, he wasn’t a particularly academic student, passing each class with mostly E’s and A’s and a couple O’s. Unremarkable, all things considered.
Following his graduation from Hogwarts, PJ attended University to obtain a degree in Latin, and then became interested in Linguistics as a whole. It was during what was technically his fifth year that he met Gwen. An American witch visiting distant relatives, the pair literally ran into each other at a small bookshop cafe and he offered to pay for her beverage as an apology. He showed her the sights, both touristy and the lesser known marvels of his home country, small as it is. They traded addresses and promises to write when she had to leave, both of which they kept close to their hearts.
For a year, they sent letters and pictures back and forth, until Gwen finally caught a plane back to Ireland and stayed for good. It was clear to both of them that whatever it was between them, it wasn’t something to take lightly and they agreed to take things slow while letting the dice fall where they may. They dated for two years, one of which was spent living together, before PJ finally proposed in the same cafe where they’d met. Now happily married for 23 years, they’re just as in love as they were nearly thirty years ago, much to their daughters’ disgust. His three daughters are his pride and joy, each brilliant in their own right.
For a while, PJ was a stay-at-home dad; cleaning house, cooking meals, and entertaining his daughters became his job until his youngest went off to school and he was left home alone for nine months out of the year. Bored, he decided to apply to purchase a bookstore to occupy more of his time.
site events reaction:
Considering how absolutely unaware of most major events he tends to be, PJ didn't form a true opinion on the happenings for a while. Generally, PJ is of the opinion that magic and mundane societies will eventually merge, but it must be gradual and not forced. He knows not everyone is of that opinion, and can see the logic in it. Muggles are not known for reacting well to the news that magic even slightly exists, after all. PJ is an optimistic realist, however, and he has hopes that the world might one day be aware without war breaking out.
