DISLIKES: Judgmental people, dark magic, history of magic, detention, wearing dress robes, awkward situations, formal situations, letting someone down, being scolded, getting bad marks, healthy food, winter, cold
BIGGEST FEAR: Benjamin's biggest fear is that he's not going to make something of himself. His father worked incredibly hard to get to where he is in the Ministry. Benjamin didn't grow up in the wealthiest of families. Some months they struggled to get by. Benjamin is afraid that he isn't going to amount to anything after he graduates from Hogwarts. He doesn't want to let his father down, or end up being some kind of bum who relies on his parents long after his graduation.
PERSONALITY: Easy-going - Benjamin is difficult to not get along with. He tends to be a follower rather than a leader. He does what the group wants to do, and he's never upset about it. He's incredibly easy going in all aspects of his life, particularly his social life. Some would consider him a pushover, because he lets other people decide that he's doing nearly all the time. However, he truly enjoys just going along with what other people want to do. He's one of the easiest people to get along with.
Funny - Ben has a wonderful sense of humor. Unfortunately, it gets him into trouble quite often. A true Gryffindor at heart, Ben enjoys mischief and making other people laugh. A good prank never hurt anybody in his eyes. Although he's no Weasley, Ben can hold his own in terms of humor. He's a genuinely funny guy, and he enjoys laughing. Because of his sense of humor, Ben is oftentimes seen in detention, which he takes pride in.
Loyal - Benjamin is a fiercely loyal friend. The only people that he dislikes are those that mess with someone he cares for. He is incredibly protective and loyal when it comes to his younger siblings and his closest friends. He would do anything for those that he loves. He's the perfect guy to tell your secrets to. He would never breathe a word of them. Due to his loyal nature, girls often tend to shrug him off as the best friend, never the boyfriend. Although he would never admit it, it drives him crazy to see girls always falling for the wrong guys and telling him that he's more like a brother to them. He would go to the ends of the earth for someone he loved though.
Sweet - Ben is also a true sweetheart. There isn't an ounce of arrogance or jerkiness in his body. He doesn't do sarcasm or wit. He isn't cruel or calculating. He's just a simple, sweet guy. He's the guy that everyone wants to be friends with. However, once again, the girls shy away from him because he's 'too nice' or something of the sort. He doesn't have a mean bone in his body, unless provoked, usually by someone hurting his siblings or his friends.
Determined - Ben isn't the most intelligent of students at Hogwarts. However, he works incredibly hard to get good marks. He wants to make something of himself upon graduation, and he knows he has to do well in school in order to do that. Sometimes that means he has to sacrifice a bit of him in exchange for studying or writing an essay. He tries his absolute best to do well in his classes and to make his parents proud.
Jealous - Deep down, Benjamin does get jealous of other people. He doesn't display his jealousy, but it kills him to see his friends dating girls, or hanging out with girls when they typically tell him that he's just a friend. He was also never a good enough quidditch player to make the team. He cheers on his mates, but it hurts him to know that he wasn't good enough to play. Ben has a sense of never being good enough, and he's always trying to make himself feel more confident, but it's definitely something that he struggles with internally.

MOTHER: Elisha Biggs Conway, 42
FATHER: Timothy Conway, 44
SIBLINGS: --- Conway, female, 16
--- Conway, male, 14
--- Conway, female, 11
HISTORY: Timothy Conway met Elisha Biggs in his final year at Hogwarts. She was a mousey little fifth year, just learning how to properly flirt with a boy, when Timothy swooped in and effectively swept her off her feet. They were married immediately after her graduation from Hogwarts. Neither of their parents agreed with the marriage. Elisha was a muggle-born, and she struggled to find any kind of work that suited her. They had little money, and they lived in a tiny, tiny flat in London, barely making ends meet.
They waited until they were a bit more financially stable to have children. Benjamin was their first baby, and they were thrilled to have him. Elisha quit her waitressing job to take care of baby Ben, and quickly became pregnant with her second child. Mothering suited her. Although times were hard, Timothy did his best at a Ministry job to put food on the table. Benjamin was followed by three other children.
They were a rather ordinary family. Benjamin, being the eldest, had his first encounter with magic one morning while playing with his mother. They were using blocks, and all of a sudden they magically began floating in the air, the letters rearranging and changing to spell a jumble of words they had been learning. Benjamin was young, about six years old at the time. His parents were thrilled, and he found himself anticipating his arrival at Hogwarts.
It was not a surprise to his parents that he was sorted into Gryffindor, their former house. His years at the school flew by. There were ups and downs. He applied himself and he did well with his studies. Sure, he struggled in a few areas, particularly History of Magic, which bored him to no end. He was incredibly upset after he didn't make the quidditch team. However, as always, he bounced back.
Benjamin is currently in his seventh year at Hogwarts. He has no idea what his future has in store, yet he knows he needs to work very hard in his final year to ensure that he makes a name for himself after graduation.
