Slytherin 1st Year

This character belongs to Rabbit

History
Osian was born in Penmaenmawr, Wales. His parents adored him from the moment he was born. Their first child, Seren, has died five years before Osian was born.

Seren Llewellyn was born a beautiful, healthy little girl, much loved by her parents. That was that and all was well until she was 4, when she fell horribly sick. Seren survived, but her eyesight did not. But she was alive, and healthy. She went to a school for the blind a few years later when she was of primary school age. She did very well there. Outside school Seren did well to, and even started learning to play the piano, which she was quite gifted at for her age. The Llewellyns' house was right across for a park, and Seren was allowed to go over there are play by herself. They always told her to listen for cars before crossing the street. But hybrids cars are so silent...

And then, five years later, when his parents thought they were "ready to have a kid again", Osian was born.

His parents tried to let Osian be Osian, but it was no good.

Take piano, for instance. Osian has been taking piano lessons for as long as he can remember. There's a piano at home. And on one end are the crooked letter that a 4-year-old scratched into the wood: S-E-R-E-N. Osian isn't bad at it, but he mother insists that he's talented, when he's not particularly. In another life, he might ever have liked piano. But now he'll never be able to think of it as anything else than something his mother forced him to do for years because of his sister.

And when he turned 11, a Ministry worker came, bearing a letter and explanation. Osian was ecstatic — not even so much about the magic, but the chance to get away from his parents and out from under the shadow of Seren.

Personality
Osian pushes the rules, the boundaries. When he was young, what his parents wanted him to do was be like Seren, and he's been fighting against that since he was very very little. And now pushing back against what people want him to do is as natural as breathing. And like breathing, it's vital — if he stopped, he would start to suffocate, and then something terrible would happen.

And he couldn't care — if he cared, he would care that his parents will never see him for who he is. So best not too. And if when he does care, he pretends not too — it's better that way.

Appearance
Osian doesn't look much like his family. He has his grandmother's blue eyes, but that's about it. His hair was almost blond when he was really little, but has darken to brown as he got older. He's tall for his age, while his parents are both short. His nose is freckled — Osian and his uncle are the only ones in his family that have freckles.

Appearance
Osian has an owl, that his parents go him so they they could write to him while he was at school.

Relationships
Rhys & Carys Llewellyn

Osian hates his parents. Osian's dad works long hours at work, and is almost never home. By the time he does come home, he's usually to tried to do anything. His mother tries to make Osian like Seren in little ways, and still, 16 years after her death, hasn't gotten over the loss of her daughter. Whenever Osian does anything that's the least bit like Seren, she'll start showering him with attention, and the rest of the time, she's practically in another world.

Seren Llewellyn

Seren died, 5 years before Osian was born. He never knew her, and never will. She haunts him, the pictures on the wall, the imagine in his parents' minds. Sometimes Osian wishes she'd never died — then he wouldn't be stuck under her shadow. But he knows that if she hadn't died, he's never have even been born. Mostly Osian just hates her — hates her for being so perfect. On some level, Osian knows that she wasn't actually perfect, and that it's just the way their parents remember her — but he doesn't care.
