overall personality:
Carcer Ronald Hagrid, otherwise called Grim by his friends, is an intelligent, friendly individual. It’s very difficult to catch him without a smile on his face, as he is generally friendly to everyone he meets. In fact, that’s how he got his nickname: someone told him that he never stopped smiling and wondered if he even knew how to be grim. Carcer responded by telling them that if they wanted him to be grim, they’d have to use it as a nickname. Be careful what you wish for, right? He does nearly everything with the same happy expression, be it eating (and he does love to do that) or breaking up fights with other students. He is uncomfortable being in the spotlight—which he often is. As a second-generation half-giant, Carcer’s human blood shows more than it did in his parents, as he is proportioned like a normal human moreso than a giant, but he’s still thirteen feet tall and no robes could hide the thick muscle on his arms, legs and chest. But with his glinting black eyes and warm smile, few people consider Carcer to be that intimidating.
Until he stops smiling.
Carcer has a lot of courage and his father’s sense of right and wrong. While he prefers to settle disputes with a smile and friendly words, when push comes to shove, he’s a fighter. And few people want to fight Carcer Hagrid. He is superhumanly strong, durable, and resistant to hostile magic, and like his father, these traits are amplified when angered. Carcer is fully aware of his resistance, and uses it without hesitation, stepping into fights physically to stop them and shielding other students from random spells. He is highly intelligent and skilled at wand magic—Carcer is considered one of the most gifted Transfiguration students of his age, and for his NEWTs he is being allowed to study to become an Animagus in addition to the regular coursework. Like his father, he has a way with animals, though Carcer has a survival instinct (acromantula are not fuzzy, misunderstood creatures, they are hairy death on eight legs). He is a natural at learning non-human languages as well, and speaks Mermish and Gobbledegook fluently. Carcer believes that he’s a natural at connecting things.
Above all, Carcer is hardworking. He’ll be the first to admit that Transfiguration comes naturally to him, but fully believes it would be meaningless if he didn’t also work hard to cultivate that natural talent. Carcer’s work ethic is simple: work at something, practice it until you’re one percent better than you were before. And then do it again and again, because you’re never too good to get a little better. He’s not really the bookish type—he doesn’t dislike reading, per se, but Carcer is a tactile learner, he has to do a task to understand it, and he can’t explain it to others any better than he learns from the theories written in his books. He makes good grades across the board, and has been recommended for a number of different positions in the Ministry, including Auror. But Carcer knows the kind of paperwork involved with the Ministry, and has no desire to get mired into it. At the end of the day, magical aptitude or not, he is his father’s son—a hard worker, outdoorsy, and ‘uncivilized’ to a lot of more traditional families in the wizarding world.

history:
Carcer Ronald Hagrid is the firstborn of Rubeus and Olympe Hagrid. As a child, he and his brother spent their time divided between Hogwarts, where their father worked and lived, and France, where their mother was. As a result, they have a wider range of experiences than a lot of their classmates. He spent a lot of his young life around animals: Hagrid was well-known for his love of dangerous creatures, and Olympe bred Abraxan horses at Beauxbatons to generate gold for the school. During summer holidays, the family would take trips together—visiting the dragon colonies under Charlie Weasley’s care, going to America to study jackalopes in the wild, collecting Yeti hair in the Alps. It was on one of these excursions that Carcer first witnessed death, as he saw a man killed by a chimaera in Greece. This allowed him to see thestals, but it also made Carcer aware that his father’s views on magical creatures was a little too tolerant. From then on, Carcer gained a healthy respect for the dangerous creatures of the world.
In his first year at Hogwarts, Carcer drew unwanted attention—not only did he come to school already big enough to fight with the seventh years, but he was the first student at Hogwarts to cause a Hatstall since Filius Flitwick had been a student. Carcer’s mind and talents were equally suited towards Gryffindor or Hufflepuff, and the Sorting Hat took a long time to decide. In the end, it took into account Carcer’s absolute respect for hard work, and placed him in Hufflepuff. Then there was his Transfiguration class, where he proved unable to answer theory-based questions at the beginning of the class, but successfully Transfigured a matchstick into a needle before the end of the class after observing his teacher. He also proved himself very adept at Charms, Care of Magical Creatures, and Defense Against the Dark Arts. His Herbology work was fine, nothing standout, and his Potions were passable if uninspired. He was miserable in Astronomy and History of Magic, and completely hopeless at flying broomsticks—instead, when friends asked him to go for a flight, Carcer would head out to the Forbidden Forest and find a thestral to fly around.
One other important event happened as he entered Hogwarts—Hagrid chose to retire from his teaching position. There were still pockets of traditionalists in the Ministry, and Rubeus Hagrid would not put the education of his sons in danger by giving these people an excuse to cry for favoritism. Hagrid decided to move in with his wife at Beauxbatons, taking care of the grounds there and retiring from his position at Hogwarts. Though he claimed he wanted to see Olympe more, Carcer knew his father, and he knew why this was happening. The guilt and anger has left him very bitter towards certain political figures who still look down on “half-breeds” as lesser individuals.
As the years moved on, Carcer proved himself to be the Transfiguration student of the school. He was also able to arrange for a self-study elective in which he learned non-human languages. He picked up Mermish first, to allow him to converse with the denizens of the lake at Hogwarts, and gobbledegook next, so that he could keep up with the Gringotts goblins, whom he had an inkling he might work for one day (Bill Weasley’s job sounded amazing to him). As his third language, he looked to learn the language of the giants, and as he enters his seventh year, he is reaching an advanced level in the language, hampered by the fact that nobody else knows how to speak it, making it difficult for him to gauge how accurate his tones and inflections are. In his fifth year, Carcer was appointed the male Hufflepuff prefect, as his strong sense of justice and tendency to stop physical and magical disputes were well-known by then. He achieved eight OWLs, in Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Potions, Herbology, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Alchemy, and an independent OWL for Language Studies. The Outstandings in Transfiguration and Languages, and the Exceeds Expectations in DADA, caught the eye of the Ministry.
Carcer continued into his sixth year with these eight subjects, and continued to excel. Now he begins his final year at Hogwarts, and it has not started on a high note: a Muggleborn girl who had done no harm to anyone was killed before she even got to see the Castle.
And the injustice of it all has angered both the Hufflepuff and the Gryffindor in Carcer Hagrid…
