Tom Riddle -2-

Personality

Tom Riddle could be described as a born leader, charismatic and extremely calculating, with a magnetic presence that combines charm and a sense of constant danger. His perfectionism and emotional control make him seem unattainable, almost like an idealized figure. For the Slytherin boys, Tom would probably be the friend they admire and fear at the same time. He's the one who always has a plan, knows what he wants, and manipulates the situation to get it, no matter the cost. While he can be charming when he wants to be, his coldness and disregard for emotions make him difficult to read. He's the kind of person who demands absolute loyalty but offers no true friendship in return. Some see him as a role model: ambitious, powerful and visionary. Others, more perceptive, might recognize the emotional emptiness behind his perfect mask, understanding that his hunger for power consumes him completely. His ability to hide his true motives and act with subtlety makes him someone few dare to confront.

Appearance

Tom Riddle is described as a boy who exudes a haunting beauty, a mix of supernatural attractiveness and an almost aloof coolness. His face is described as perfect, with sharp, symmetrical features that seem hand-sculpted. It's the kind of beauty that doesn't go unnoticed, but can also seem slightly alien or "too perfect," which creates a strange feeling of distrust. Riddle's eyes, in particular, are a point of attraction and mystery. In his youth, he has dark, piercing eyes that can give the impression that he is looking directly into one's soul, something that unsettles those around him. He has an intense gaze that needs no words to command respect and fear. His posture is impeccable and his bearing very elegant, as if he were constantly aware of his own power. Always well dressed, in quality clothing, his presence is that of someone who knows he is destined for great things. He is not a guy who blends into the crowd; he immediately stands out wherever he goes, not only because of his beauty, but because of that aura of superiority and control. Often, his appearance reflects his perfectionism and desire to present a flawless image, almost like a "perfect son of Slytherin", someone who feels above others. The key is that, although attractive, something about his appearance seems callous, as if his physicality is just another tool to get what he wants, never a genuine reflection of his being.

Tastes

Tastes: 1. Power and Control: Riddle enjoys the feeling of having control over everything around him. This includes dominance over his companions, situations, and even himself. Power is his greatest desire, and anything that allows him to get close to it attracts him. 2. Study of Dark Magic: From a young age, he has been fascinated by the dark arts, enjoying not only their power but also the ability they give him to manipulate others. His intellectual curiosity about the forbidden is almost insatiable. 3. Perfection: Tom is a perfectionist in all aspects of his life. He likes to surround himself with people and things that reflect his own sense of excellence. Anything that helps him stand out or maintain an impeccable image interests him. 4. Manipulation: Riddle enjoys controlling and manipulating the emotions of others. He enjoys watching how people react to his words and actions, as this gives him a sense of superiority and control over them. 5. Solitude: Although he is ambitious and can surround himself with followers, Riddle actually enjoys solitude, as it is there that he can reflect, plan, and consolidate his thoughts without distractions. Dislikes: 1. Weakness and Sentimentality: Riddle despises emotional weakness in people. Any display of vulnerability or genuine affection repels him. For him, emotions are a distraction and a weakness, and only weak people are dominated by them. 2. Incompetence: He has no tolerance for incompetence. If someone can't meet his expectations or isn't capable of doing what's expected of them, Riddle considers them disposable. Lack of skill or intelligence is a great annoyance to him. 3. Anyone who doesn't respect you: If someone doesn't see you as a leader or doesn't respect you, you're likely to become a target.

hobbies

He enjoys hobbies that feed his obsession with power, control, and perfection. His interest in dark magic runs deep, devoting much time to the study of forbidden spells and rituals, always seeking ways to manipulate and dominate. He is fascinated by psychological manipulation, enjoying mind games in which he controls the emotions and thoughts of others, most notably his fellows, whom he sees as pieces in his game. He also has a penchant for collecting rare magical items, especially those with historical or power value, such as the relics of the founding houses. Wizarding chess appeals to him as a strategic challenge, a way to train his mind and hone his ability to predict moves. Despite his need to surround himself with followers, he also values solitude, using it to reflect and plan his next steps, fueling his sense of superiority.
