Character Name: Newton "Newt" Scamander Series: Harry Potter Universe Timeline: End of "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" Canon Resource Links: A wizard's tale
Personality: Newt isn't really a people person. Sure he does well enough when he has to interact with others but he definitely seems to prefer to just not interact with anyone outside of his animals if he can help it. He doesn't know how to carry conversations all that well, usually ending them awkwardly and quickly in an attempt to carry on his way and finish whatever it is he's working on. His nervous ticks rear their head the most when he's around other people, Newt sometimes fumbling over words if he gets too flustered or even doing anything he can to keep his hands busy and his eye contact elsewhere. He's not trying to be rude; he's just that awkward about things sometimes. (Most of the time he'll just do his best to avoid social interactions as a whole but there are times when it's inevitable. Unfortunately.) He has gotten better about it, especially when he's comfortable with someone's presence/considers them a close friend, but more often than not he still keeps his head tilted down and his eyes averted through much of the conversation. It just tends to flow a bit better.
While he may not be much of a people person, Newt doesn't harbor any ill will towards other nor is he the type to discriminate. He sees people as people and treats everyone with the same respect and kindness. He's very much a man of principle in that sense and will openly counter someone that is attempting to discriminate against someone for some reason or another. It's this same mindset that has him putting people and animals on the same pedestal, so to speak, seeing everyone as equals no matter what they may be considered. Now, Newt does have a very strong sense of right and wrong and does not take kindly to those that attempt to harm his friends or family (whether his blood relations or those that he has come to think of as family). He will do what's needed to protect his family, always in a non-violent manner, and will never allow himself to be bullied or pushed into something by other people. (He will do his best to encourage others to act/think for themselves rather than allowing others to force them into decisions as well.)
Newt doesn't have much in the way of a temper, preferring to flee rather than get into an argument with others. He prefers to try and find a peaceful solution, if necessary, never wanting to willing harm a person or beast. This isn't to say that he won't engage in a wizarding duel if necessary and he can definitely hold his own (Newt is well versed in charms and is a very quick draw with his wand while also accomplished at using nonverbal magic) but it's usually a last resort for him. Now, threaten his animals and you may see a very different side of Newt but even then it's not a violent temper; more of a worried, fearful anger that comes out where he'd rather get hurt himself but allowing his beasts to.
When it comes to animals, Newt becomes a completely different person. He's much more open around creatures and smiles more often and in general just becomes a bit more chatty. He really seems to be in his element when he's surrounded by animals and becomes more social, willing engaging people that may happen to be around while he's interacting with his suitcase full of beasts. He's extremely devoted to the creatures in his care and spends the majority of his time keeping them safe, happy and healthy. He's very passionate about everything to do with his study of fantastic beasts, well versed in every aspect of the creatures he cares for and very willing to learn everything he can about those that he hasn't encountered yet.
Is he lonely? Maybe a little but Newt seems to enjoy being on his own and he's always got his animals with him so he really isn't ever alone. While most people probably wouldn't enjoy a life traveling the world without company Newt thrives on that sort of experience. That's not to say that he doesn't miss the small group of friends that he has because he definitely does. He just can't seem to stay in one place for too long and doesn't want anyone uprooting themselves for his sake.
Newt is very intelligent in more than just things concerning beasts, a very quick study in both the wizard and muggle worlds. He uses the knowledge he has of both words to continue his study of beasts and adapt to whatever situation he may end up in. He's got an encyclopedic knowledge of creatures, is skilled in crafting potions, has an extensive knowledge of magical history and, in general, is just a quick study in anything that could be useful to him. He'll willingly share this information with others that show interest, more than happy to teach people about creatures and everything to do about them if they ask.

Victory Road Sample: "What have I told you about stealing?" Newt scolded the small Banette cradled in the crook of his arm, carefully holding a gold watch and several coins in his other hand. The small creature giggled at him and immediately tried to squirm out of his grasp to reach for the goods but Newt kept them out of reach. Despite his scolding his lips did quirk into the faintest smile as he started the trek back towards his hotel, tucking the gold pieces into his coat pocket. The Banette immediately let out a frustrated sound but Newt simply shook his head, adjusting his hold on the irritable little thing.
"Now that will be enough of that. You've had quite enough fun for today," he murmured and the little creature finally seemed to settle--or at least give up. For now. Newt knew it was only a matter of time before it slipped off again to cause more trouble just because it seemed to find enjoyment in such a thing.
Keeping his head down out of habit since he didn't have magic to shield himself from view, Newt reached the hotel and took the stairs two at a time to get up to the fourth floor. The tension seemed to seep out of him as he reached his hotel room door and he quickly nudged it open and shut it just as fast, resting back against it with a sigh. The Banette in his hold squirmed and finally managed to get away, drifting over to join the multitudes of other Pokemon that were resting around the room. Newt's coat was shed, the article of clothing haphazardly tossed over an armchair as the wizard made his way over to where his suitcase rested. Opening it up lacked the usual spectacle that normally came with it but the Poffins and treats that filled it drew a delighted reaction from all his Pokemon. Newt couldn't help but chuckle, smiling warmly at his Audino as she climbed up onto the table to help distribute the goods.
"Hello to all of you as well," he said happily, handing a few of the treats to Queenie. "Now then, who's hungry?"
