Raymond Chivalier

 History
Raymond Raphaël Turner Chivalier is an orphaned muggle-born wizard. Before he knew anything else, he had been in an orphanage in England, left there with a letter of apology and a ring by his mother, Iris Turner, when he was just one year old.

His childhood was hard for the first few years. As he was among the the well-behaved, he was favored by the staff of the orphanage, which displeased some of the older bullies there. They boycotted him, or sometimes even bullied him behind the back of the staff. Things went even worse when he was eight after he used magic for the first time. On that day, a few kids attempted to prank Raymond by locking him in a room where a number of mice had as well been locked inside. Raymond was frightened at that time, but magically, the door unlocked itself - all the mice went outside and bit the bullies. Though he had no idea why such thing happened, his status "rose" from "loser" to "loser and freak".

Fortunately, a year later, Raymond was adopted by a Muggle couple - Ronald and Roxanne Chivalier. Ronald is the owner and also the chef of a famous restaurant, while Roxanne home-schooled Raymond at their apartment in London. Raymond was well-nurtured by the couple.

On the day when Raymond turned 11, the family received a visit from Hogwarts with Raymond' acceptance letter from Hogwarts. The couple were quite shocked at the beginning, but still allow Raymond to go in the end.

Despite being a Muggle-born, Raymond was sorted to Slytherin House. Raymond wasn't much of a talker. He would rather stay away from the crowd, enjoy a good book or study while listening to music. Though he didn't enjoy socializing much, he did make a limited number of friends who share similar thoughts as his.

On the last day of his seventh year, Raymond's adoptive parents died in a car crash when they were on their way to the train station to get him home. Kelvin was devastated, believing that he was the main reason why his parents passed away. Inheriting all the property of his parents, he's now running his father's restaurant as he doesn't want the years of dedication of his father go to waste, in spite of his wish to become an Auror. Though it may not seem like it, he was still tormented by the grief and guilt of his parents' death.

 Personality
Preferring to stay away from the crowd, read a good book while listening to music, Raymond doesn't talk much. Though, being observant, socializing with the others (only if necessary) isn't much of a problem for him. In fact, people may sometimes find him quite humorous when they get to know him. Despite his streaks of socially distant characteristics, he still has a limited number of friends who share similar thoughts as his, whom he is loyal to. He usually treats people the way they treat him - if you're nice, he'd be nice to you; if you're rude, he'd do the same, or worse. He may appear to be a confident man on the outside, he actually hasn't yet left the shadow of his parents' death, believing it to be his fault.

 Trivia

 * The meaning of Raymond is protector or advice, while Chivalier means knight. His middle name Raphaël means God has healed in French.
 * Raymond was originally named as Raymond Turner, according to the letter that his mother left him with at the orphanage. When he was adopted, he changed his family name as his adoptive parents' - Chivalier. Raphaël also became his middle name. He didn't know it, but the reason for his adoptive parents naming Raphaël as his middle name is that they wanted him to break free from his past.
 * Raymond knows how to speak French aside from English, taught by his parents, who both were French British.
 * The French restaurant that Raymond is now running is in London. Before his father's death, it was only a place for the Muggles. After Raymond has taken his father's place, it's for both magical beings and muggles, as he didn't want to be part away from the wizarding world.
