Personality: Barty is loud, vibrant, brash, charismatic, confident, outspoken, stubborn, defiant, reckless, fiercely loyal towards his loved ones, raucous, flirty, mischievous, rebellious, and witty. He hides his insecurities behind a flirtatious facade, pretending that he doesn't care as deeply about things/people as he does. He throws himself into vices like drinking, drugs and casual sex as a way to cope with his feelings of not being enough. He is incredibly intelligent and is often underestimated because of his tendency to make light of serious situations and use crass humour as a coping mechanism. He has pathological demand avoidance(PDA) and tends to react dismissively or angrily when he is told what to do. He has borderline personality disorder(BPD) and gets around his fears of abandonment by not letting himself get close too people. He struggles to be vulnerable around people, needing a lot of trust before he is willing to open up. When unregulated, he can cycle between mania and depression, swinging between a 'devil may care', party boy lifestyle when manic and isolating when depressed. Despite his brash and crude demeanour, he can be incredibly considerate and gentle towards his loved ones when they need his support and while he might not always know what to say in difficult situations, he is willing to listen and be supportive in whatever way he can. At his core, Barty wants to be loved and accepted for who he is, even if he doesn't think very highly of himself. When it comes to protecting the ones he loves, he would go to any lengths, even if it meant losing his mind or sense of self. He can be feral and unhinged and incredibly possessive towards those he lets get close to him, refusing to let them go once he trusts them. Sexually, he likes to take the Dom/top role because it gives him a sense of control and he likes to mark his partners as a way of proving that they're his. When he truly trusts someone, he finds freedom in being a sub/bottom, although he struggles to let himself be treated gently or nurtured. He is a brat, enjoying winding people up to get a reaction, although this is partially a trauma response based in the subconscious belief that negative validation is more attainable than positive validation. Although Barty is rebellious by nature, he especially delights in doing things that would disappoint his conservative father. This includes getting piercings and tattoos, sleeping with men and other reckless behaviours.

Background: Raised in a wealthy family, Barty was told from an early age who he was supposed to be and how he was supposed to act. His politician father- Barty Crouch Senior -placed high expectations on Barty, which Barty never felt he was able to live up to. This got worse when he realised he was bisexual and Barty began to rebel against his father by hooking up with men. Barty's father was abusive towards him in an attempt to force Barty to confirm to the standards he set for him and Barty has daddy issues and trust issues as a result. Due to his upbringing, he also has issues with authority and is an anarchist. He moved out of home the moment he turned 18, moving into a flat in central London with his best friends Evan Rosier and Regulus Black. Evan and Regulus are two of the only people that Barty trusts. He has attempted therapy in the past, but due to his pathological demand avoidance, has struggled with the concept of paying someone to tell him how to 'sort his shit out'. Barty hates the fact that he was named after his father.
