The Character's Background

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

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.

Vincent and Heather Nguyen were never supposed to meet, not if their parents had any say in the matter. You see, both were taught to fear the other's species vehemently. Vincent, a muggle, had been shooed away from all things magical when his older brother, Eugene, had been revealed to be a wizard. His traditional family couldn't handle the oddity that Eugene brought and subsequently shunned him and scaring Vincent to fear wizardkind. Heather, on the other hand, hailed from a long line of Vietnamese wizards and had been told that muggles weren't worth her time and, for the most part, she believed what her parents told her. Even their initial meeting was down to some freak chance. Having grown up as exclusively magical, Heather often found herself blundering around in the muggle world - somewhere she visited from time to time to see some muggle-born or half-blood friends when they lived a muggle lifestyle. Whether it was the curiosity within her, a rebellious streak or just the wonder of the muggle world, each time she went ensured that a bigger part of her wanted to explore it more. Still blundering, of course. It was in one of her off expeditions that she had ran into Vincent and asked him for directions. A conversation was struck up beyond there and the rest became history pretty quickly. Neither sets of parents were happy about such a pairing so, when Vincent and Heather got married some year and a half later, it was no shock that they were cut off and left to fend for themselves.

Vincent and Heather didn't mind being cut off; they had found their parents' rules and regulations for their lives to be too restricting and made living unenjoyable. Sure there were times where they missed them or had hoped that they could ask for some guidance but, for the most part, they were content being strictly in each other's company with both believing that they didn't need anyone else. They were so madly in love with each other that, naturally, children came in quick succession to the marriage. First was a daughter, Alice, then a son, Davis, and a final son, Brodie, brought up the rear. Both had automatically assumed that all three of their children would be half-bloods, as was natural of a muggle and pure-blood offspring, and thus the three were brought up in a muggle-magical environment hybrid. A routine had developed early on whereby Vincent would home school them about muggle things and Heather, with the aid of KwikSpell Tutoring, would teach them about magic.

Brodie was always a little different when he was compared to his siblings.

3) Write about your character's appearance. What do they look like? Are you planning on using a certain model for your character? If you already have a picture in mind, you can put it here!
