-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Louis, comes off as rather innocent. Like a loving, curious, naive little boy who needs kindness and warmth and someone who can guide him between right and wrong. And, he can be that boy. He longs for close friendships, relationships and attention in general, because he is constantly trying to fill a void that has been plaguing him since childhood, since his parents disowned him so many years ago, when he was just four years of age. This act has taken a real toll on Louis development-wise. He lacks real socialization skills, and has severe attachment issues.

He still keeps his home with toys from his childhood because he has a horrible fear of losing anything anymore, and so, he hoards his childhood items to preserve what is left of his memories. That said, the only real item from his childhood that is of absolute importance is a small, white, stuffed bunny rabbit that his maternal grandmother gave him. He literally takes it with him everywhere. At any given time, he will have it on hand. Always. He does, on occasion, lose the bunny.. usually by setting it down somewhere on accident... which only results in Kyan having to retrace every step and sniffing the stuffed animal out, even rip it out of a child's hands just to return it to Louis. (More on Kyan under Important/Significant Relationships.)

But the innocence Louis flaunts is just one of his many faces. The longer one gets to know Louis, the more his darkness comes out. And he can easily spiral deep into it around the right types of people. He has mental issues, and is considered mentally unstable. He did spend time in the mental ward of St. Mungos for a few years, after all. He likes to lurk and observe. Stalk. He is obsessive. Compulsive. A borderline sociopath. He is a bit of a masochist and can endure extreme amounts of physical pain. Because of this, he was even trained to resist the effects of both the Cruciatus curse and the Imperious curse.

Aside from that, he is an extremely picky eater and has issues with textures of food. His manners are almost non-existent as well, because he was never really taught any (He pretty much raised himself, remember). Most times, he will just eat with his hands, no matter what the dish (pasta, steak, mashed potatoes, etc.). The only times he uses actual utensils are when he knows he's in a public setting, being watched/judged, trying to impress someone, or when asked. This shows that he does know better than to eat with his bare hands, but is just too set in his ways at this point to change. Further, he only eats with spoons or sporks, but never forks. He has an intense fear of forks that he does not like to elaborate on. Other fears include bugs, dying/death (unless purposely inflicting it upon someone), isolation, losing people/friends, being replaced, etc.
