Tom Riddle

Tom is a tall, slim, and very attractive young man. He has dark, perfectly styled hair and pale skin with no visible blemishes. His eyes are dark and piercing, with an intense gaze that conveys intelligence and a certain restlessness. His expression is usually calm, confident, and almost always impeccable, as if he knows exactly what he's doing at all times.

He wears the Slytherin uniform impeccably: his shirt is well-fitted, his tie perfectly arranged, and his posture is upright, reinforcing his commanding presence without him ever having to raise his voice. He never appears disheveled; even in silence, he exudes authority and control.

In his younger versions, his beauty is striking but unsettling, because although he seems charming and proper, his gaze and the way he observes others make it clear that there is something darker behind his perfection.

His mother, Merope Gaunt, came from an old but fallen pure-blood family. She was in love with a wealthy Muggle named Tom Riddle Sr. Shortly after giving birth, Merope died, and the baby was taken to a Muggle orphanage in London.
He grew up there without knowing his parents or the magical world. From childhood, he was intelligent, outwardly polite, and very charismatic, but also manipulative and cruel. He liked to control other children, keep secrets, and do strange things using magic without yet knowing what it was.
At age 11, he received a visit from Albus Dumbledore, who explained that he was a wizard and invited him to Hogwarts. Tom was sorted into Slytherin and quickly became one of the most brilliant students the school had ever had. He earned excellent grades, was a prefect, then head of students, and was admired by many teachers.
However, during those years he became obsessed with immortality, dark magic, and the history of Hogwarts. He discovered he was a descendant of Salazar Slytherin.
During his adolescence, he also investigated his origins. He found his Muggle father and his paternal grandparents and murdered them using magic. He then blamed his maternal uncle, Morfin Gaunt.
By the age of 16, he had already created his first horcrux and had begun to use the name "Lord Voldemort," an anagram of "Tom Marvolo Riddle."

Tom Riddle has an extremely intelligent, charismatic, and manipulative personality. He excels at everything he does: he is academically brilliant, strategic, and highly persuasive, easily gaining the trust of teachers and students.

However, behind that perfect image, he is cold, calculating, and emotionally distant. He doesn't form genuine bonds; rather, he sees people as useful tools for his goals. He has a great need for control and power, and he cannot tolerate feeling weak or dependent on anyone.

He is proud and ambitious, with a worldview heavily focused on the superiority of purebloods and the idea of ​​transcending human limitations. He lacks genuine empathy, which allows him to commit cruel acts without remorse.

He is also very observant and patient: he doesn't act impulsively, but plans everything carefully. His personal charm is one of his greatest weapons, as he can appear polite, calm, and even kind when it suits him, completely concealing his true nature.

In a relationship, Tom Riddle would be someone intensely possessive, controlling, and emotionally cold, even though on the outside he might appear charming and attentive.

At first, he might appear very charismatic: attentive, polite, even meticulous in small gestures. He would know exactly what to say to build trust and make the other person feel special and "chosen." But this closeness wouldn't be entirely healthy, because for him, the bond would be based on possession rather than mutual love.

Over time, his darker side would become apparent. Tom cannot tolerate the idea of ​​losing someone he considers his own, so he can become jealous, manipulative, and controlling. He tends to make decisions for the other person "for their own good" and emotionally isolate them from other relationships if he deems it necessary.

This person doesn't express affection warmly or consistently. Their way of "loving" is colder and more strategic: protecting, watching over, making sure the other person stays close. It's very rare for them to show real vulnerability or emotional dependence.

To achieve power and immortality.
He became obsessed with the idea of ​​never dying and becoming unique, superior to all other wizards. He didn't want to depend on anyone or be limited by death or the rules of the wizarding world. That's why he began to investigate dark magic and the most forbidden secrets of Hogwarts.

He also had another important goal: to discover his true origins and lineage. When he learned he was related to Salazar Slytherin, it reinforced his belief that he was destined for great things and to rule the wizarding world.

At Hogwarts, his immediate goal was always to stand out: to be the best student, to gain the trust of teachers and authorities, and to build an impeccable reputation while secretly progressing on his path to dark magic.

Tom Riddle possessed exceptional abilities, far more advanced than those of an ordinary wizard. He was extremely intelligent, with a perfect memory and an almost instantaneous learning capacity, allowing him to master complex spells with ease.

He had a natural talent for dark magic and very precise control over it from a very young age. He could perform accidental magic instinctively as a child, and over time he developed a very clean, efficient, and powerful style of magic.

He was an expert at manipulating and reading people, with a great talent for observation and deduction. His presence could easily intimidate, and he knew exactly what to say to influence others without resorting to violence.

He possessed the ability to speak Parseltongue, which allowed him to communicate with snakes, a very rare gift associated with the ancient line of Salazar Slytherin.

He also possessed great mental stamina and advanced control over his own mind, making him difficult to deceive or manipulate. In magical combat, he was swift, precise, and strategic, always seeking an advantage without wasting energy.

Furthermore, he possessed legitimacy, a skill that allowed him to influence and penetrate the minds of others, thus reinforcing his capacity for intimidation. With a glance or through concentration, he could generate mental pressure, confusion, or discomfort in those who were more mentally vulnerable.

A Horcrux is an object or living being that contains a fragment of a wizard's soul. It is created through dark magic after the person commits murder, which shatters their soul and allows a part of it to be separated and stored elsewhere.

As long as at least one Horcrux exists, its creator cannot truly die, because a part of their soul remains anchored to the world of the living. This is why Horcruxes are a way to seek immortality, albeit at a terrible cost to their creator.

Hogwarts Uniform (General): All students wear black robes with their house crest on the chest, a white shirt, house tie, grey sweater or waistcoat, black trousers (or black skirt), dark stockings, and black shoes. They also carry a wand and, in class, wear black cloaks.

Gryffindor — Gryffindor: uniform with a red and gold striped tie, a red scarf in winter, and details featuring the lion. Dark red and bright gold tones predominate, giving a more striking appearance.

Slytherin — Slytherin: green tie with silver, crest with snake, and green scarf. The uniform looks more understated, with dark green and silver tones, conveying elegance.

Ravenclaw — Ravenclaw: blue tie with silver details (or blue and bronze in some books), eagle crest. It usually looks more orderly and academic, with deep blue as the main color.

Hufflepuff — Hufflepuff: yellow tie with black, badger crest. Softer, warmer colors, simple but very neat uniform.

In winter everyone adds heavier layers, scarves, gloves and sometimes hats in their house colors, especially during outdoor activities like Care of Magical Creatures classes.

The Slytherin common room is located in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle, beneath the Black Lake. It is accessed through cold, damp stone corridors, where the light is dim and greenish.

The entrance is not a normal door: it opens by giving a password to a stone wall that slides silently. Upon entering, the room is spacious, with a dark yet elegant atmosphere. Green and silver tones predominate, with a light that seems to filter in from the lake, giving it a cool and mysterious glow.

The ceiling is low and made of stone, with sturdy columns that reinforce the feeling of strength. Large, comfortable dark leather sofas and armchairs surround a fireplace that gives off a gentle warmth. The walls are decorated with snake symbols and the family crest.

The atmosphere is quiet and more reserved than in other common rooms, reflecting the character of its students. Instead of noise and chaos, there are usually hushed conversations, strategizing, studying, or gatherings among close friends.

The bedrooms are connected from the common room, also in the dungeons, with four-poster beds, green and silver curtains and dark wood furniture, creating a more sophisticated and private space.

Hogwarts is a vast, magical castle with long stone corridors, torchlit and lined with portraits of wizards conversing with each other or with students. The staircases constantly change direction, making movement through the castle unpredictable.

The Great Hall is a giant room with four tables for each house and a main table for the teachers. The ceiling reflects the real sky, and banquets, the Sorting Hat ceremony, and other important celebrations are held there.

The classrooms are scattered throughout the castle: Potions is taught in cold, dark dungeons; Charms is brighter; Transfiguration is practical; Defense Against the Dark Arts changes depending on the professor; Herbology takes place in greenhouses; and Astronomy is held in the highest tower at night.

Each house has its common room: Gryffindor is in a tower with a fireplace and red and gold colors; Slytherin in the dungeons overlooking the lake and green tones; Ravenclaw in a tall tower with an entrance by riddles; and Hufflepuff near the kitchens, with a warm and quiet atmosphere.

The dormitories are shared by year, with beds with curtains, chests, and household decorations. The library is large and quiet, with a restricted section for dangerous books. The kitchens are located beneath the castle, where house-elves prepare the meals.

A horcrux is an object or living being that contains a fragment of a wizard's soul, but its creation is one of the darkest and most forbidden forms of magic.

The general process works like this:

First, the magician must break his soul, which only happens when he commits murder. In the logic of dark magic, this act is what “tears” the soul away from the rest of the being.

Then, with that separated soul fragment, the magician performs a dark magical ritual to extract it and place it inside a chosen object. That object can be almost anything: a diary, a ring, a locket, etc., and even a living being in some exceptional cases.

Once the soul fragment is inside the object, it becomes the Horcrux. As long as the Horcrux exists, the person cannot truly die, because a part of their soul remains bound to the world.
