The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Felix is, despite his traumatic past, a happy-go-lucky kid. His most distinctive personality trait is loyalty and love for his younger siblings. He enjoys sharing his knowledge and experience, time and energy with anyone who needs it, and all the more so with friends and family. Growing up with a big family, Felix became quite an empath. He can easily pick on emotions of those around him, even if they aren't really showing them. Felix isn't afraid of his emotions and showing them, which can most often be seen through his love and care for his family, especially his younger siblings. He can take all of his support, reliability and imagination and apply it to something he believe will make other people happy, and isn't afraid to do so.

People would often describe him as a bright and intelligent kid, a trait he inherited from his mother. Although he may not remember the smallest details of everything he's ever heard, he can easily remember the little things about a person and use that information later on. Thanks to that, his friends and family are always surprised by the gifts they receive from him. He is so concerned with others’ feelings that he sometimes refuses to make his thoughts known, or to take any duly earned credit for his contributions. Felix’ standards for himself are also so high that, knowing he could have done some minor aspect of a task better, he often downplays his success to a certain extent. He can sometimes be private and very sensitive, internalizing his feelings a great deal, because he wouldn't want to burden those surrounding him - a habit he picked up after his mother's death. He is, although afraid to admit it, still a bit hurt by his mother's early passage, but is learning to process his emotions.

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? It must be at least three paragraphs long, seven sentences each.

Jenelle Mitchell-Anderson and Aydan Dane were Hogwarts sweethearts. They started dating in their fifth year, and by their seventh were inseparable. They depended on each other and were strong for each other, they were the embodiment of a healthy relationship. On Valentine's Day of their seventh year, Felix was conceived. The young couple wasn't necessarily prepared to become parents right away, but took all the challenges in stride. They both got jobs, moved in together, and worked through their now more complicated relationships with their families (in particular, Aydan's sister Elle who smothered him a bit with doubt that they could parent successfully). Not too long after Aydan proposed, and a little while after that, they got married.

When Felix was three, his twin siblings were born - Hadley and Hudson. They were still just a regular happy family. Life for the family of five seemed like it was going great. Felix lived in Hogsmeade, had regular visits from Aunt Aubree, and even Aunt Elle and Uncle Thomas seemed to be visiting more. Just before he turned five, Felix lost his mother. Aydan hasn't still to this day told him how it happened, but Felix can tell it was something bad. His dad was pretty shaken, and it was obvious things were about to change for the now a family of four. His dad was out working for most of the day, but to his luck, Aunt Elle ran a childcare with the rest of the Bagman family.

Felix responsibly took the older brother role to the twins, in fact, so much that his magic manifested while they were playing somewhere in the backyard while Aydan was inside the house. The twins were running around and a branch was about to fall on top of Hadley, so he was able to move it out of the way, even though he wasn't in his vicinity. Growing up around magic throughout most of his life (his father is still running the Weasley's Wizard Wheezes), he wasn't really surprised by it. In fact, he was quite proud about it and couldn't wait to tell all of his cousins. Thanks to the variety of fields his aunts were excelling at, Felix got a good primary education before attending Hogwarts. He spent most of his days with the rest of the children from the family, hearing stories about Hogwarts from Aria and Johnatan; or with his father, with whom he still has a good and healthy relationship. He was really excited once the acceptance letter came in the mail and waited nervously for the school year to begin.

4) Is your character a Pure-Blood, Half-Blood or Muggle-Born? Do you have any notable magical relations? (Remember, you cannot be related to important characters from the Harry Potter Universe!)

5) Does your character have any special abilities? Is he or she of a different magical race, such as Veela, Vampire, Werewolf or the like? Part or half of a magical race counts! (Remember, you cannot have a character with special abilities/of a different magical race as one of your first two characters!)

No

6) What year is your character in?

1st year

7) The Sorting Hat has been known to take house preference into consideration. If your character could select one house they believe they are best suited for, what would it be and why?
