{ without anybody else }
One Word To Describe Your Character: Complex
Likes: Socks, Sweets, Chamber Music, etc.
Dislikes: Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans, Voldemort, Ministry Intrusions, etc.
Overall Personality: Dumbledore is a very complex character. In the series, Dumbledore is potrayed as a mentor literary stereotype, being wise and powerful, as well as caring and gentle. Dumbledore experienced several traumatic events in his youth that have shaped his personality to what it is at the time of the plot. Dumbledore is somewhere between modest and arrogant, an ideal self-view. He recognizes that he is a genius, as well as an exceptionally powerful wizard, but he does not strut along telling everyone and bragging about it. Dumbledore is also very intelligent, being able to foresee situations and their outcomes before they even happen, or when they are beginning to happen.

Appearance: Dumbledore is described as tall and thin, with long silver hair that looked long enough to tuck into his belt and a long beard. He has twinkling, blue eyes, a very long and crooked nose (looking as if it had been broken at least twice, and one of these was violently caused by his brother Aberforth) and long fingers. He wears half-moon spectacles. Also, in his younger years, he is described as having auburn hair at least once. He once claimed to have a scar above his left knee, the cause of which is unknown, in the shape of a map of the London Underground.
He is always seen in sweeping robes ranging in colors and patterns which often include stars and moons.
Celebrity Being Used: Michael Gambon
History:
Dumbledore spent most of his childhood life in Godric's Hollow until he was sent the Hogwarts Letter at age eleven. He was sorted into Gryffindor, and then his journey began. During his stint at Hogwarts, he was recognised as one of the most gifted, if not the most brilliant, student ever to set foot in Hogwarts. At Hogwarts, Dumbledore excelled greatly in every subject, especially Transfiguration. His research and essays at Hogwarts often were seen in well-known wizarding publications, such as Transfiguration Today, Challenges in Charming, and The Practical Potioneer. When Dumbledore was personally examined for his N.E.W.T.s in Transfiguration and Charms by Griselda Marshbanks, the Head of the Wizarding Examinations Authority, she reminisced, " Dumbledore did things with a wand I had never seen before."
About 75 years after his graduation, Dumbledore returned to Hogwarts as Transfiguration Professor. He also became Deputy Headmaster after a short period, in which capacity he served to recruit students for the school. In 1945, he defeated the Dark Wizard Grindelwald, much to the celebration of the wizarding world. In 1956, he ascended to the post of Headmaster, and has been in that post ever since.

Role Play Sample:
The crisp autumn wind blew pacifically into Dumbledore's cluttered office, ruffling the Headmaster's silvery, auburn-streaked hair as he sat tranquilly in his chair at his desk, thumbing through several letters from the Ministry of Magic. Hearing a solid clap of thunder, Dumbledore extricated himself from his chair and strode casually towards the window to gaze out of it. Directing his piercing blue eyes skyward, Dumbledore perceived a vast storm making its steady way towards the Hogwarts Grounds, lightning striking the ground innumerable times as the storm drew nigh with the Hogwarts Lake.
Smelling the wind, Dumbledore sensed that something was coming to him, something from across space and time. Turning back into his dimly-lit office, Dumbledore walked calmly back, positioning himself infront of his cherry-wood desk, waiting patiently. Dumbledore knew that something was coming soon. With a slight electric crackle, the air directly infront of Dumbledore began to sizzle with great heat. An inquisitive look upon his face, Dumbledore gazed intently into the minute electrical maelstrom, slightly puzzled at what was happening. Then, with a loud pop, a group of students appeared infront of him, holding what seemed to be Time-Turners in their hands.
Beaming brightly at the otherwise frightened-looking students, Dumbledore vocalized in a decidedly whimsical tone, "Hello, students. Is there something that I can do for you?"
