Michael is a short, tan boy with dark curly hair. He is fairly skinny and has light brown eyes. He walks with a determined attitude.

Michael is a very intelligent boy. He picks up on things quick. He also has a strong sense of humor and is a bad procrastinator. He will wait till the very last second to do something. He has high expectations for himself which were instilled on him by his mom.

Michael is a half-blood. His mom is magical and his dad is a muggle. His mom works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department of Magical Education. This led to very high standards for Michael to live up to which he intends to work towards in his time at Hogwarts. Michael would either like to be an Auror or teach at Hogwarts some day. He is half Puerto Rican which is a big part of his culture. His dad was raised there and all of Michael's family from that side lives there. They don't know that Michael is magic but have come close to finding out multiple times. The only muggle that knows about his magical ability is of course his dad and they live in a household where his mom practices magic regularly.

Michael's first instance of magic was when he was just 3 years old. He was playing with blocks and one fell and he got frustrated, the block then flew to the other side of the room and slammed against his bedroom door.
