Rain appears older than he really is, having a lot of face wrinkles, but he takes them in pride as evidence for wisdom. He has long, dark brown hair that, if untamed, can reach past his neck and shoulders. He keeps a beard, because who doesn't keep a beard? It's manly. And his height and weight... is personally none of your business, so let's move along shall we.

Although not a man of fashion, he has the funkiest and grooviest styles ever worn by a wizard in his era. He is a hippie, and would like to show that message through not only his words, but through his clothes. On a casual day, he could be wearing disco clothes or maybe on a special occasion, wear a suit covered with plants... or the like. Also, he doesn't wear shoes. Ever. Maybe sandals, sometimes, but he prefers to keep it barefoot all the times. He usually keeps a hippie headband (of course), some very big jeans, ankle bells, and OF COURSE, a peace symbol always intact. Always. ALWAYS.

His name is Rainbow, so he does keep a lot of color on. He does tame his beard, putting 7 small braids on two sections of it (see above), all following the colors of the rainbow. Same goes with his hair, but 14 braids, rainbow after rainbow. Like a double rainbow, know what I mean?

Personality: Boogie was chosen into Hufflepuff as a reason; he is very hardworking, loyal, patient, and in all, a man of good virtues. Or so he thinks. As a hippie who chooses to get his message across the universe, he is sometimes very ignorant and stubborn at situations where he has to lecture the young ones of the importance of a peaceful nation. But other than that, he’s very strong-minded and good-hearted. Being bullied while in school gave him the determination to become a successful man of pride and honor. There is not a bad soul in his body, and knows how to control himself at times of need.

And when he’s angry, sad, or frustrated? No, he doesn’t hex people into their oblivion. No, Rainbow Boogie cries with pride. He is a strong believer that tears are the best remedy for any person, and most of the times, sobs with such passion that it will utterly make another person PITY and cry with him! Well… no. But the pity is always far too strong. So yes, while strong-minded, this old, large man is a sensitive fellow. However, that doesn’t mean insulting him or making fun of him would cause him to bust out into tears—heavens, no! Boogie would rather torture them in a peaceful way, with his words, but in a peaceful way of course.

Violence is never the answer. Spread the word out there, young readers! SPREAD THE WORD!

History:

Born into a muggle family of hippies like himself, Rainbow was taught to love everything on Earth and embrace Mother Nature’s gift to the world. Their family was not at all wealthy, living on a farm in a rural area so he definitely did have a very earthy childhood. They kept a lot of animals—none were ever eaten of course, but he loved the cows and pigs and chickens and everything! As always a curious child of the world out there, he always pictured what it was like in the society miles and miles away from him. The house was always quiet, there were no loud noises around except for the animals so yes, the Boogie family was filled with such peace everyday. That is, until a tawny owl arrived to their house when he was around eleven.

What was this? A letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?!

What blasphemy. His parents immediately fed the letter to the barn animals, thinking it was a prank from the people (they were always belittled). But no, more and more letters came and they gave up, finally admitting to this wizardry power their son had. So off he went to Hogwarts, still embracing his muggle self, but was not welcomed at all in this wizard society. Purebloods had rejected him. Half-bloods thought he was weird. No, everyone thought Rainbow Boogie was an odd boy, and so, he lived most of his life at the castle alone. And that is when he adapted his tearful remedies.

Being alone did have its advantages. He got more time for his schoolwork. He was challenged though, not having the brain of a genius to do everything, but mentally gifted in Care of Magical Creatures, Herbology, and Potions. He disapproved of DADA, always believing in his brain of his that the Dark Arts could err… be loved and that there was no need for defense. The real reason actually, was that most of the spells learned in that class could be used for violence! And violence was strictly forbidden in the Boogie family. STRICTLY forbidden.

He eventually graduated Hogwarts with a few friends. Rain wasn’t interested with the Ministry, yet. So he worked in several creature havens, the most recent being dragons (oh what lovely creatures they are), and in many magical plant greenhouses and gardens. That does not mean, however, that his muggle life was not completely diminished. No. Rainbow had a double life—a plant and wizard extraordinaire in the Wizarding World and… an owner of a hippie store, Hippies R Us, selling an abundance of hippie clothes (but now they also sell plants, 50% off for this month!) And now he joins the Ministry, with a mission to spread a peaceful message everywhere.
