"…It is agreed on all hands, that he is handsome, his features are good, his eye is not only sprightly and expressive but it is fully of benignity. His attitude in sitting is by connoisseurs esteemed graceful and he has a method of waving his hands that announces the future orator. He stands however rather awkwardly and his legs have not all the delicate slimness of his fathers. It is feared He may never excel as much in dancing which is probably the only accomplishment in which he will not be a model. If he has any fault in manners, he laughs too much. He has now passed his Seventh Month.”
- Alexander Hamilton describing a 7-month old Philip Hamilton in a letter to Richard Kidder Meade
Philip has long hair curly black hair that collects around his shoulders, often tied back. Has dark brown eyes, which often looks black. Long nose and thin lips. Handsome, can get any girl he wishes, easy. Freckles scattered across his nose, face, and shoulders.

Philip is an energetic and eager teenager, with a constant grin. Loyal to family, and quick to make friends. Though he is friendly to his schoolmates in general, he only has a select few that he would trust with his life.

Philip Hamilton was born on January 22, 1782, to Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, and Alexander Hamilton. He spent the first years of his life in New York alongside his family. Since childhood, his parents had great expectations and hopes for the future of their first born. As a child, Philip spent all his time with his mother, learning French and piano. Since he father never had time for him, he concluded that he wasn't good enough for him. He grew more pressured as Alexander wrote that his birth was "attended with all the omens of future greatness." This led his father to look for signs of success in his child, who was then just a baby. When he was 7 months old, Alexander wrote that Philip had "a method of waving his hand that announces the future orator." Observations like this continued in Alexander's writing into late childhood, making Philip wonder if he was his son, or a show dog. Many people shared in Alexander's high opinion, as he continued to grow, more joined in this view. A friend of the Hamilton family observed that "Young Hamilton was very promising in genius and acquirements, and Hamilton formed high expectations of his future greatness!”
Once he turned nine he was shipped off to boarding school in Trenton, New Jersey. Philip tried his hardest, trying to win his father's respect. By 1794, his younger brother Alexander, then eight years old, joined him there. During his stay at boarding school, he frequently wrote letters to his family. His father, Alexander Hamilton, would often write him letters of encouragement. His father wrote, "Your teacher also informs me that you recited a lesson the first day you began, very much to his satisfaction, I expect every letter from him will give me a fresh proof of your progress, for I know you can do a great deal if you please." This encouragement spurred Philip to work harder, never stepping out of line in his classes. As Philip continued to grow increasingly intelligent and charming, Alexander's hopes for a successful son and a worthy heir were growing.Philip enrolled in Columbia College and chose to major in law.
In order to ensure that he would grow into the brilliant man his father hoped for, Alexander set extremely rigorous study routines for his son. He forced his son to wake at 6 o'clock every day from the first of April to the first of October. the rest of the year, Alexander allowed his son to wake at 7 o'clock, and go on to study. Alexander wrote, "From the time he is dressed in the morning till nine o'clock (the time for breakfast excluded) he is to read law." The only time Philip would have to himself were holidays and weekend afternoons. As Philip spent more time with his father, he found that he was finally feeling properly connected to Alexander. Their bond remained strong when he graduated with honors from Columbia College, in 1800 and went on to study law. As a pupil, university scholars were said to have compared his virtue and knowledge to that of his father.
P.S. Philip will be killed off eventually in a duel against George Eacher. Whoever claims George can only kill Philip in those circumstances, with my knowing consent. Just wanted to make that clear. ;)
