SOMEWOT DETAILED PERSONALITY

ISTJ, teetering into ISFJ.

Simon is an extremely introverted boy with many fears, most of which take root in his anxiousness toward authority, and causing trouble. He’s polite when spoken to, obliging, and very easy-going, though he is also very, very easily intimidated (a trait he tries to hide). Always, he thinks about the consequences of his actions— especially the negative ones. This is a somewhat crippling, but because he lives to FOLLOW THE RULES, and AVOID CONFLICT, he reasons that this is the one thing he is doing right.

ANOTHER ONE OF SIMON’S favourite past times is watching, and observing.

SIMON is very perceptive with an INSANE memory. When he comes into a room or in a crowd of people, he immediately scopes out every single fine detail of everything (from a distance) and files away these observations into the neat cabinets of his mind. He does very well at school due to the preciseness of his observations and memories. His best subjects are mathematics and history, though he dreams of becoming a pilot one day.

HMM WHAT ELSE. OH.

He’s not unfriendly, and he REALLY does like people, he’s just scared of being rejected… So, he usually just… Hides… In the background… Talking to himself/walls sometimes… AHHAHA…

He character develops a backbone (WAS THAT A SPOILUR WHO KNOWS), but for now he’s pretty bullybait. YESSIR.

ABILITIES.

The ability to be a kawaii shota. UH HE DOESN'T REALLY... HAVE ANYTHING SPECIAL. He's really good at counting and memorizing things, I guess?

When he grows to become a brilliant historian at Albrian's leading university!

SIMON'S PAST

Simon and his older demonic sister Elsa are descended from old monies— that is, they and both their mother and their father were born, have lived, and will probably die fabulously rich.
For some odd reason or another, the Griffith parents are rather dull, and lifeless and unfun. According to their grandparents, they were such troublesome and bad children when they were younger that absolutely HATED the prospect of their arranged marriage to one another…………………………………..

It’s so fortunate they’ve grown past that, though :)
Simon is the good kid, and Elsa is the bad one of the family. Simon is really good at school, and really polite, while Elsa gallivants about the school yard and beats other kids up with her clarinet. Her favourite person to terrorize is her younger brother; often Elsa forces him to PLAY. WITH HER. And sometimes, during school breaks, she brings home the school bully Gordon (goes by Gorey) who is her BFF and watches him beat her younger brother yay!
Most of their relations favour Simon to Elsa, but Elsa doesn’t care and Simon doesn’t like attention very much.
They both attend Tremaine’s Academy for Boys and Girls, the same as their parents.

SIMON'S RELATIONSHIPS

Pip: Simon meets him later in school, and becomes the Watson to his Sherlock. Simon is good at providing lists of information because of his memory and keen eye. Pip is good (kind of) at actually putting the evidence together and making deductions based on it.

They become best of friends.

Edie: The same day he meets Pip, he runs into Edie. She attempts to protect him from bullies in spite being three-quarters his size. He’s a little embarrassed at first, but comes to really appreciate and admire her bravery.

Pip usually monopolizes Simon’s time, and Edie tags along in order to make sure they don’t get in trouble. And by they, I mean Simon.

Pip doesn’t like Edie because there are no girls (AHAHAHA) in Sherlock Holmes.

Elsa: Evil older sister

Gorey: Evil bully who beats him as his sister watches.

Madeline: Bosses him around.

Harrison: Intimidated by him. But, it isn't so bad because Pip is always with him and Pip knows how to handle Harrison.

OTHER SHIT

VOICE ACTED BY Asa Butterfield
as seen by the above, if Simon were an animal, he’d be a deer.
Can fill “10 grammar books (if not 20) of his observances!” in a single sitting
Often talks to himself without noticing.
He says “uh”/hesitates a lot when he speaks.
When he cries, he tries not to FIGHT THE TEARS U-UGU…
He takes violin lessons, and is technically very good. However, he lacks finesse/passion for music, so as soon as he gets into college, he will probably drop the violin.
His home is gigantic… BUT IT IS EMPTY AND SPARSE IN FURNITURE BECAUSE HIS PARENTS couldn’t care less about decorations. Mostly, he was raised and taken care of by servants (who much prefer him to that rude ingrate of an older sister).
Small wardrobe for above reason, mostly wears uniform |D
He has a lot of model planes hidden throughout his room (to keep out of Elsa’s reach). Each year for xmas, these are the only things he wishes for, and these are USUALLY the only things he buys with his allowances.
HYPOTHETICALLY, when he grows up, he does very very well in high school, and ends up attending a prestigious university where majors in history, and obtains a professorship in it— with a specialization in I THINK the first world war, or medieval studies. He becomes a resident historian at that university!
OH I THINK HE MARRIES EDIE WHO BECOMES A TEACHER.
AND STILL GOES OUT ON ADVENTURES WITH PIP WHO FREELOADS ON THEIR PROPERTY.
Older!Simon has this habit of reading to people from his history texts when they want a story out of him. COUGHS. His writing style itself is very dry, and on-point; he relies on Edie to help make his works exciting!
His most precious possession is a misshapen handkerchief that Edie embroidered for him. He totes it around with pride.
His parents never truly become fixed. Though he manages household affairs because his sister CANNOT BE ASSED, he for the most part, only tends to the manor out of duty. When his parents die, and quietly so, Simon doesn't know exactly what to feel. He arranges for a very small funeral, mutters a few prayers, and then locks the manor up and never looks back YES.
HE THINKS HIS FRECKLES MAKE HIS FACE LOOK A BIT DIRTY. But, he's over it now BECAUSE I THINK THEY ARE PRECIOUS OKAY.

AU NOTES

In Harry Potter he is a ravenclaw. Yes. He is a ravenclaw, I am sure. DUNNO ABOUT HIS WAND THO.
In His Dark Materials universe, his daemon is that of a deer... YEE...
I think he was in chalk zone AU as well. SURE OKAY CAE.
And narnia...
sob.
