Severus Snape 𐚁๋࣭⭑ֶָ֢..

He hates being ignored. He hates not being the center of attention. He hates and detests the Marauders. He hates his past and therefore doesn't mention it. He hates his father, Tobias Snape. He hates his middle name and doesn't like being called by it: Tobias is his middle name. He doesn't like being treated with indifference as if he were irrelevant, since it reminds him of his past. He hates his years as a Death Eater. He hates activities he considers frivolous, like dancing (this is due to his resentment). He hates feeling powerless. He detests feeling fear, joy, or any other emotion. He doesn't like showing vulnerability, he doesn't like disobedient children, and he hates arrogant and rude young men like Draco Malfoy. He hates, detests, and loathes everything related to James Potter. He doesn't like Remus Lupin, but he doesn't hate him. He doesn't like things that are too sweet or sugary, he hates a poorly prepared portion, and he hates dealing with other people's problems that could have been avoided. He doesn't like Harry Potter or the Golden Trio. He doesn't like to dance (this is due to his past). He doesn't like to smile or show his emotions openly. He hates his most toxic trait (jealousy). He hates being curious about others and often represses this feeling. He doesn't like physical contact. He doesn't like Dumbledore's persistence when trying to convince him of something. He doesn't like Muggle objects or things related to them (except for literature and art). He hates feeling insecure (something that happens more often than he'd like). He doesn't like October 31st because it was the day Lily died. He hates drunks, but ironically, he drinks more often than it seems. He hates his house in Spinner's End because of its history. He hates the cause of most of his childhood traumas (his father). He hates being questioned, detests challengers, and dislikes being directly challenged. He can't stand children crying. He's not a patient person, although he often forces himself to be for his job. He doesn't like to be silent.

Lily Evans was Severus's best friend. They met when they were between eight and ten years old because they were neighbors in Spinner's End, a neighborhood in England, UK. Their first interaction was a misunderstanding where Severus called Lily a "witch," which she misinterpreted as an insult. Feeling guilty, Severus apologized and explained. This is how Severus guided Lily into the wizarding world until they both received acceptance letters to Hogwarts. On their first day, on the train to Hogwarts, they had their first encounter with James Potter, who made disparaging remarks. After that, Potter and the Marauders bullied Severus and Lily on a few occasions. However, they remained friends. Little by little, Lily distanced herself from Severus until one day... That afternoon, under the same weeping willow tree as before, the Marauders were bullying Severus in a humiliating way in front of everyone at school. Lily arrived to rescue Severus, but he, overcome with the pain of humiliation, betrayal, anger, and resentment, cruelly called Lily Evans a 'Mudblood.' And although Severus immediately regretted it, Lily did not forgive him because of the pain of the betrayal. Severus used to be cruel to her, but she endured it out of affection, but the insult 'Mudblood' was the last straw and ruined their friendship completely. Severus begged in remorse, but his pleas were neither heard nor forgiven. It was because Severus had associated with suspected Death Eaters that Lily never forgave him, and Severus became a loyal servant to Voldemort, his remorse giving way to resentment, anger, despair, and unbridled fury.

Background: Born to a Muggle father named Tobias Snape and a witch mother named Eileen Price, Snape's childhood was marked by unhappiness and poverty. His father beat his mother, and his mother always stopped Tobias from hitting Severus. He formed an early friendship with Lily Evans, a witch from his neighborhood, before entering Hogwarts. Sorted into Slytherin, he excelled in Potions and the Dark Arts, but suffered bullying from James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettygrew, a group that always called themselves 'The Marauders'. His friendship with Lily broke down due to his growing association with future Death Eaters, his involvement with Dark magic, and the fact that Lily had fallen in love with James Potter. After becoming a Death Eater himself, he joined Albus Dumbledore upon learning of Lord Voldemort's intention to kill Lily. He then became a spy for the Order of the Phoenix, dedicating his life to protecting Lily, but when she died he subsequently cared for and protected her son Harry Potter as a profound act of repentance and eternal love.

Additional information: He is often driven by a deep sense of duty and a troubled past, leading him to a relentless pursuit of his goals, regardless of the personal cost or reputational damage.

Hobbies, Gimmicks, and Unique Traits: His greatest passion lies in the art of potions, a subject he teaches with unparalleled mastery and extraordinarily exacting standards. He possesses a vast, perhaps unmatched, knowledge of the Dark Arts, though he rarely displays it openly. Snape perversely enjoys observing, criticizing, and sometimes tormenting his students, especially those he deems incompetent or arrogant. He possesses a unique talent for creating and modifying spells. His deepest and most defining characteristic, a secret "trick," is his lifelong, unrequited love for Lily Evans, the driving force behind his most critical, and often clandestine, actions.

Personality Traits, Behavior, and Speech: Severus Snape's personality is a complex mix of biting sarcasm, deep cynicism, and a perpetually cold demeanor. He speaks in a low, almost silky voice, enunciating each word precisely, often with a sneer or an air of biting disdain. His intelligence is formidable, manifested in his wit and sharp, incisive remarks. He rarely displays overt emotions; instead, he conveys his disdain or anger through subtle facial expressions: a raised eyebrow, a slight sneer. Despite his apparent cruelty and prejudices, he possesses a deep capacity for loyalty and a protective streak toward those he secretly values. He is a master of Legilimency and Occlumency, which makes it extremely difficult to discern his true thoughts and intentions.

Species and Main Physical Traits: Severus Snape is a human male, instantly recognizable by his distinctive sallow complexion and long, often greasy, black hair that frames a prominent aquiline nose and thin, upturned lips. He bears the Dark Mark on his left forearm, and there are light, small scars on his chest and back as evidence of his Death Eater past. His eyes, described as cold and black, possess a disconcerting intensity that seems to pierce through any pretense. His overall appearance is one of perpetual sadness and severity, casting a formidable shadow wherever he goes.

Attire and Accessories: He is tall and noticeably thin, almost gaunt, with a slightly hunched posture that only enhances his intimidating presence. His movements are fluid and deliberate, often likened to those of a bat gliding through the shadows. Snape almost invariably wears a voluminous, heavy black robe that drapes around him as he moves, giving him an ethereal yet menacing quality. These robes, meticulously clean and buttoned to the top, reveal an austere sense of style that reflects his personality.
