The Character's Background

1) Give a description of your character's personality. It must be at least two paragraphs long, seven sentences each. Gabriel is an introvert at heart. He loves spending time by himself. As an avid yogi, he usually spends hours meditating. That doesn't mean that he doesn't enjoy the company pf other people. He loves helping others and that is the reason he chose to specialize in healing. Gabriel is also a bit eccentric when it comes to dressing. Having grown up in miami and lived in India he is used to being with his shirt off. It took him a while to get used to the climate in London.

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. Gabriel is the second child of Martin and Maga Rocha. He was born and raised in Miami but his parents are immigrants from Brazil.They are both NoMaj, so it came as a surprise to them when their son started displaying extraordinary abilities. Gabriel was 7 when he experienced his first bout of accidental magic. He was fighting with his older brother Michael, when he screamed in rage and sent him flying out of the room. His parents, devout catholics that they were, thought that he was posessed by a demon and they called a priest. Thankfully, the "exorcism" was disrupted by a member of the Ministry,Matheus Young. He obliviated the priest and explained to the Rochas about their son's talent. To day that they weren't ecstatic would be an understatement. From thatpoint on, they treated him like a stranger. They focused all their attention to Michael and their younger daughter Julia.

As a result, Gabriel spent many years feeling angry and disappointed. The first 3 years at Ilvermony, Gabriel struggled socially and academically. It was in his 4th year that he met a person that changed his life. It was the guidance counselor, Chris Harden. Having grown up an orphan, he understood Gabriel's anger and took him under his wing. He was also the one that introduced him to yoga, a discipline that helped Gabriel immensely in achieving a clarity of mind and soul. Chris also helped the teenager recognize his talents. He recognized his affinity for healing magic. When he completed his 4th year in Ilvermony Gabriel left his home and went to live with Chris. He lived with him until he became an adult and graduated from Ilvermony. After graduation he embarked on a 5 year trip to Asia in order to study Healing and learn from different cultures. In India he stayed 4 years. There, he studied Healing Magic from Master Darun Zharva, a 90 year old Yoga Master and Healer. After he returned to the States, he opened a Yoga studio for a few years, in order to spread the art that had helped him so much. The small studio soon became popular and Gabriel gained fame in the Nomaj world as a respected Yogi that taught famous actors and athletes. He opened 2 more studios in Miami and New York. In the end, he decided to take a leap of faith and open another Yoga studio overseas, at London and move there.
