Hair:
Scorpius has the tell-tale silvery blonde hair of a Malfoy like his father and grandfather before him. His hair is straight and kept at medium-length, and is always a mess.
Eyes:
His eyes are the same cool grey shade as his father's, but aren't described as "cold" like Draco's were.
Face:
Scorpius's face is somewhat pointed and angular like his father's. He thinks that his nose is too big for his-slightly pointed, as features go- face.
Body, include weight and height:
He's slender and fairly tall, standing at 5'11". Scorpius weighs around 160-165 pounds, which is normal for someone his height since he's so slim. He's in pretty good shape, and although his body type is similar to Draco's, Scorpius is slightly leaner and more toned.
Face Claim: Mitch Hewer
Other:
Everyone says that Scorpius looks a lot like his father, Draco, including the pale Malfoy complexion. Other than that, there isn't anything too out of the ordinary about how he looks.
Personality:
2 paragraphs minimum
Most people have several different sides to them, which is also true for Scorpius, except for the fact that his two sides face two completely different directions. There's Good Scorpius and there's Bad Scorpius, and so far in his life, Good Scorpius has been highly dominant. Think of it like biology, dominant and recessive traits. Good Scorpius is dominant is the one that shows up...but that doesn't mean he doesn't have the Bad Scorpius still inside him, aching to be noticed more.
For the most part, Scorpius can be a pretty nice guy, despite what most people would expect from him. He's very determined, in the sense that he'll do whatever it takes to not be like his father. Although he's a Slytherin, he sees that more as a family tradition and pride, but not necessarily who he is for a lot of the time. It's definitely possible for Slytherins to be not completely pure evil...Scorpius is one example, and the Slytherins he hangs out with are others. But besides them, Scorpius also hangs out with people from other houses, even though some of the more "Slytherin proud" Slytherins don't exactly approve of that.
He tries to avoid being like Draco...every chance he gets. He tries really hard when it comes to school work, and that effort shows up in his grades; he's actually very smart. Sometimes, his effort doubles as a distraction for him so he can avoid spending a ton of time with other guys in his house that he knows are the reason Slytherin still is looked at as the bad guys. But as for the rest of the time, when homework isn't just a distraction, he likes the personal satisfaction of feeling like he did something right.
He can't help but feel a little bit curious about what Hogwarts was like when his father was at school, or even his grandfather. Even though he's sworn to be unlike Draco, he still wonders how so many people could possibly think of his father as a bad person, after living with Draco his entire life and seeing how good he was. Could it all have just been a misunderstanding, or was his father really as bad as everyone said? This was something that always bothered Scorpius in the back of his head. If Draco really was evil, why did he change? Did he even completely change? How could anyone possibly know, or figure it out? With all these thoughts and questions in his head, it makes sense that Scorpius spends a lot of time by himself...thinking, and trying to figure some of this mess out.
When a person in his heart truly wants to be good, but at the same time comes from evil roots...how does he turn out? Scorpius is honestly afraid that it's inevitable for him to go bad...if that's how his family was brought up, and if that's what his family wants and expects from him, did he really have a choice? Scorpius thought he should, but that doesn't mean that he necessarily does. All these thoughts, questions, doubts, fears...they're the reason Scorpius is stressed out all the time, but he tries not to let it show. All he wants to do is concentrate on doing well at Hogwarts, having a good time with his friends, and being his own person without any expectations. He wanted to make his own future.
He's not a particularly loud person, but he likes to have a good time. He's not a huge drinker, but that doesn't mean he's never had a drink, or never been to a party. Most of the time he's pretty relaxed, but gets angry easily when people make assumptions about him or speak badly of his family. He tries not to let the anger show, but some things are just too hard to let roll of your back. He's not exactly a leader, but he wouldn't want to be called a follower. He just has his own ideas, though sometimes it takes him forever to figure out what those are.

History and Details: 2 paragraphs minimum
Family has always been a touchy subject with Scorpius. Like most things in his life, his feelings can go either way. Yes, he loves his parents, very much. But despite that, there's no ignoring his father's history back when he was in Hogwarts, and his grandparents' history throughout most of their lives. Scorpius was completely aware that he came from-basically-a family of Death Eaters. By now, it was in all the recent history books, and included in all kinds of biographies from various people of that time. Scorpius hated this.
Ever since he was little, people would recognize him from the physical similarities between him and his father and automatically assume that Scorpius was just like him. And if there's one thing that really bothered Scorpius, it was being judged like that. Mostly because he is nothing like his father.
Scorpius had always been proud of Draco for switching sides while he could. True, it was very last minute, but still. He had to give him credit for that, considering Scorpius is a very fair person. But he still always wondered...had his father truly had a change of heart, or did he just switch sides because he felt that he had no other choice? There was no way of knowing; Draco, although he had always been an incredibly good father to Scorpius, rarely spoke about his teenage years, possibly for fear that his mistakes would influence his son.
Astoria and Draco gave Scorpius a similar upbringing as Draco had. The Malfoys had always been a wealthy family, and still are. And although it's a very good thing that Scorpius didn't inherit his father's Death Eater ways, he did slightly inherit Draco's ideas on blood purity. It's not that he hated muggle-borns, because he didn't. But he had always questioned why muggle-borns were even allowed to go to Hogwarts. If their parents were Muggles, where did the magic come from? It never seemed fair to Scorpius that the magic of someone with no magical parents could possibly be stronger than his, which had come from Pureblood witches and wizards for generations and generations. Because of this, Scorpius has always had a slight dislike for muggle-borns; it wasn't anything that he would ever say outloud or treat someone badly for...it was just a personal sort of mini-grudge.
