Prince Edgar Hastings of Windsor

1) Give a description of your character's personality. Are you noble or sneaky? Arrogant or Humble? Anything about your character that might help the Sorting Hat decide. (Don't worry, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, personality must be at least one paragraph long for the first two characters, two paragraphs long for the third to eighth characters, and three paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth!)

'''Edgar is an odd child. He has no sense of responsibility, is completely carefree and has a morbid sense of humor thanks to hours of Egar Allan Poe and bad advice. He can be arrogant and unwittingly superior feeling to others, but without a mean bone to compliment it. If there is an easier way to do something, he'll do it. He has no real moral inclination, so some things that might seem bad to other people doesn't seem so bad to him. He carries a noble and regal air despite some of his foolishness and has no prejudice towards muggles as someone with a muggle-born mother. When angry or defensive, he'll try to hurt the person by getting someone else to punish them, although quickly he's finding out that doesn't always work. The people spreading lies about him being a bastard, for example, he can do nothing about. He has much to learn about problem solving skills.'''

2) Write about the history of your character. How did they grow up? Is there an incident that made them the way they are? etc. (Again, you can copy this onto your character page later!) (Remember, history must at least be two paragraphs long for the first two characters, three paragraphs long for the third to eighth character, and four paragraphs long for the ninth to fifteenth character!)

'''During the reign of William III & Mary II in 1692 the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was signed, separating the lives of the magical and the muggles. The reign of the muggle royal family over the magical population of Britain - and later the United Kindgom - was largely undisturbed; both British societies observed the same monarch until the pure-blooded of the magical society began demanding detachment. From what started as being general discontent grew into violent actions with a magical civil war approaching over the horizon. In a stroke of luck that avoided turmoil, the ruling King George III had a magical daughter hidden from the muggle society. This daughter, Princess Charlotte, was quickly installed as the monarch of the magical society of Britain - an act which finally separated the two.'''

'''The arrangement worked out perfectly for both societies; whilst both monarchies were separate, the two worked closely to ensure similar values were shared and upheld. When the muggle monarchy changed their house name to Windsor, the magical monarchy followed suit. Everything was harmonious until the ascension of King Henry II. A monarch who wanted to devolve the power of the Ministry itself, Henry became tyrannous early on in his reign. Turmoil that threatened to overthrow the monarchy rose again, saved only by the forced abdication of Henry and the replacement by his eldest daughter, Victoria.'''

'''Proving to be the saving grace of House Windsor, Queen Victoria remedied her father's mistakes. She appealed to all crowds of magical life; advocating for no discrimination for species, being proud enough of her pure-blooded heritage to satisfy those who cared whilst remaining completely relatable for all. Her reign, still going strong, has remained among the most harmonious and popular since the magical monarchy's establishment.'''

'''Before Prince Victor was a father, he was a wild young man. Everyday life for him consisted of parties, drugs, alcohol, and all sorts of illegal entertainment. One time, people believed him to be missing for three days, only for paparazzi to find him drunk in a trash can. Needless to say, no one I the royal family was particularly fond of his antics, at least those who cared about perception. The only person who could calm him down was Isabelle, a muggle girl he met as a child and formed a lifelong bond with since that moment. They had maintained a relationship of sorts, and she accidentally became pregnant by him when he was 24. Victor didn't like being tied down, and as much as he loved her, marriage was scary. So while she kept the baby, he kept distant from her for about two years. She signed a nondisclosure agreement to never reveal the baby's father. While people had always suspected of Victor's bastards, because Isabelle was a muggle born, she was able to be kept out of public eye. Finally, Victor realized he couldn't live a life without Isabelle, and thus proposed to her. After their wedding, they revealed to the world that the two already had a child- one year old Edgar. Because they were now married, no one considered him to be a bastard, at least in the palace. Paparazzi were less forgiving of the small child and his father.'''

'''Victor toned down over the years, but the press didn't make it seem as if that was the case. It didn't matter to him or Isabelle- they knew the truth. The prince never wanted a child, but spending time with Edgar meant spending time with Isabelle. He spoiled the child monetarily with eccentric and over the top gifts, but that was about as much affection as he got from his dad. Isabelle, o the other hand, parented him softly and lovingly, at least until he was about 6. She had royal responsibilities to complete, and he was growing into a young man, so she stopped seeing the need to be so mindful of him. From there, it was nannies day in day out, and some of his cousins (like Sophia). At age seven, he experienced his first sign of magic when he kept winning while playing go fish by turning all of his cards into pairs. Now at ten years old, a little bit of the royal weight has hit him, as more and more people's opinions on his legitimacy become apparent to him, and with the looming monster that is Hogwarts being not too far away.'''
