Physique: Athletic

Scarring: Despite his rather reckless nature, Iefan never managed to acquire any scars of particular note, aside from the kind people just find on their bodies sometimes with no actual inkling as to where they came from. It’s an odd theme among his family, the lack of scarring between them.

Inventory:

his wand

sunscreen, all the time--he considers it to be on of the most important things to carry on him, as he burns extremely quickly in the sun

class textbooks and notes

a very small knife; this was not his idea, but his mother’s, who thought it prudent to have something on him to keep him safe (Iefan would often try to remind her that they were a magical family and could use, much more effectively, wands to protect themselves, but mothers will be mothers, and Iefan was unable to rid himself of the knife)

his brother’s diary detailing his knowledge of Luuk van Lynden

Fashion: Iefan’s entire family is quite fashion-oriented, but, to keep in line with their vampiric heritage, it is primarily gothic-inspired and Iefan is no exception to this. He toned it down once he began attending Hogwarts to attract less attention, but it never vanished entirely.

RELATIONSHIPS

Arawn Min-Llewellyn: Iefan’s brother. The Min-Llewellyns had always been particularly close-knit, and the two sons were no exception. Arawn was the eldest of the three siblings, and always took a protective role over his younger brother and sister. Iefan looked up to him, and wanted to be just like him--Arawn always had complete confidence in his identity and who he was, something Iefan coveted and aspired to have in himself. Furthermore, Arawn often returned from Hogwarts with outlandish (and probably exaggerated) tales of his exploits to entertain his little brother, stories Iefan often anticipated for months; Arawn was nine years older than Iefan, who, consequently, was only two when his older brother started attending Hogwarts. It was when Iefan was seven that tragedy struck; the vampire hunter, Luuk van Lynden, found and killed Arawn during a trip to Hogsmeade, and unfortunately got away.

Alys Min-Llewellyn: Iefan’s sister. He and Alys were much closer in age than him and Arawn, and consequently spent a majority of their childhoods together. Also unlike Iefan’s relationship with Arawn, the proximity that the two experienced with each other for a majority of their lives resulted in a slightly more tumultuous relationship. Alys often teased or pranked Iefan, who was three years her junior, though she never exhibited anything more than typical antagonistic older sister behavior. After Arawn’s death, the two became much closer, each developing extreme protectiveness over the other, so much so that when she turned eleven, Alys begged her parents not to make her attend Hogwarts, as she was worried about leaving her little brother by himself. She wasn’t successful, but she visited for every holiday, and once Iefan did begin attending Hogwarts, the two made sure to see each other every day, despite being in different Houses (unlike Arawn and Iefan, Alys was a Slytherin.).

Min Joo-won: Iefan’s mother. It is from Joo-won that he inherited his vampiric traits, because of, as one may be able to deduce, Joo-won’s nature as a vampire. Iefan always had a close relationship with his mother, as she spent a lot of his developmental years trying to make sure that he didn’t have any shame about his heritage. She was also fairly strict, especially once the family garnered the attention of Luuk van Lynden, restricting how much Iefan played outside or left the house. She also often took Iefan on trips back to Seoul, although they rarely stayed very long, as the entire reason she moved away was the overabundance of garlic in Korean cuisine, so really none of the family ate there much, which garnered shorter visits. After Arawn’s murder, Joo-won became even stricter, to an extent that Iefan was somewhat relieved to finally get to Hogwarts and have some semblance of freedom. Still, though, he knew the protectiveness came from a place of love.

Osian Min-Llewellyn: Iefan’s father. He is the only member of the family that has absolutely zero vampire blood, and also sticks out like a sore thumb because of it, but he loves his family with his whole heart. Osian was always the more openly affectionate, playful one of the two parents, and started teaching his children Quidditch as soon as they could fly on brooms. Iefan loved this shared quality time. His father was the kind to lift him up and carry him on his shoulders in public when Iefan’s legs grew too tired or he was too short to see something, and Iefan was never more bummed out than the day he realized he had grown too much for his father to do such a thing anymore. To Iefan’s relief, his father didn’t change so much when Arawn died; if he hugged Iefan and Alys a little tighter at bedtime or followed them a little closer in public, he tried not to let them notice, so they could at least lead somewhat normal lives.

Luuk van Lynden: Iefan’s greatest enemy. A Dutch wizard, he spent many years hunting the vampires of the Netherlands to near extinction, and once that task was over, he moved to Great Britain to repeat the process. Because of the Guidelines for the Treatment of Non-Wizard Part-humans, hunting down vampires in such a fashion was highly illegal, and van Lynden was already a wanted criminal by the time he set his sights on the Min-Llewellyn family. It wasn’t until their eldest son’s sixth year in Hogwarts that he managed to exact his first kill--van Lynden tracked down and murdered Arawn Min-Llewellyn in Hogsmeade, and, horribly, was not caught. Several years later, he found and almost managed to kill the second child, Alys, before the arrival of her mother, one of the strongest vampires in Britain. He escaped capture until he attacked Iefan in his seventh year at Hogwarts, where he was defeated.

Barnaby Lee: Iefan’s best friend. The combination of their shared himbo energy and the fact that Barnaby had absolutely no concept of what a part-vampire could possibly be made them extremely fast friends, even despite the Gryffindor-Slytherin House rivalry. Iefan wasn’t quite as dense as his friend, just obtuse, and people became extremely familiar with their antics. Barnaby was the first friend Iefan had ever had with absolutely no opinion or care about his vampiric heritage, and the two remained close for the entirety of their time at Hogwarts.

Jae Kim: Iefan’s friend. Despite being Gryffindors in the same year, the two didn’t meet until their fifth year at Hogwarts, but hit it off immediately, and became fast friends. Jae started cooking little dishes for Iefan entirely devoid of garlic, and the immense appreciation Iefan had for the little gesture established them as friends for life. Jae was the first of his friends to come to Drisdey Manor for holiday and meet Iefan’s family, and although they hadn’t known each other as long as Iefan as Barnaby, they quickly became just as close.

Ben Copper: Iefan’s friend. The two met in their first year, as a result of both being Sorted into Gryffindor House, and became friends relatively quickly. It proceeded as a normal friendship would until midway through their third year, when it started going around school that Iefan was part-vampire, and Ben grew terrified of him. Although Iefan never did anything to harm him, of course, Ben’s inherent fear of vampires began to overtake their friendship, and it wasn’t until their fifth year that things began to go back to the way they were.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Pre-Hogwarts: Iefan was born and grew up in Drisdey Manor, to Osian Min-Llewellyn and Min Joo-won, with two older siblings. The eldest child was his brother Arawn, and the middle his sister Alys. Their family, though odd, was extremely tight-knit and close, and Iefan had never known them not to be. When he was about five, his family started to have to deal with being stalked by the vampire hunter Luuk van Lynden, but it wasn’t until he was seven that the sixteen-year-old Arawn was murdered by van Lynden and the true hunt began. He and Alys grew very close, and the three years where she was attending Hogwarts and he was not were very difficult for the both of them, especially because of his mother’s growing restrictions of where or with who he could hang out.

1st Year: Iefan began attending Hogwarts, and was sorted into Gryffindor House alongside his new friend, Ben Copper. He also meets and befriends Barnaby Lee, a Slytherin, and manages to keep it mostly secret that he is a part-vampire. He makes contact with his sister, Alys, every day.

2nd Year: He joins the Gryffindor Quidditch team as their Seeker, the position he had been playing with his father for years. Luuk van Lynden is spotted in Hogsmeade, but nothing comes of the sighting, and he never makes it to the Hogwarts campus. Again, he manages to keep it on the down-low that he is a part-vampire, and marvels at how Alys has managed to do it for all this time.

3rd Year: Either Alys or Iefan finally messes up--neither is sure exactly what happened, but it is this year that the cat comes out of the bag and the rumor mill spreads around Hogwarts that the Min-Llewellyn siblings are both part-vampire, and such was the reason for Arawn Min-Llewellyn’s death. Iefan’s friendship with Ben begins to deteriorate as a result of this, due to Ben’s inability to conquer his fear of vampires.

4th Year: Most of the student body stops caring about whatever runs through Iefan’s veins, which is convenient for him, as the practical jokes involving garlic were getting to be a bit too much. Iefan is a victim of the sleepwalking curse that plagues the school this year, and wakes up after who knows how long in the Forbidden Forest face-to-face with Luuk van Lynden. Fortunately, it is at this exact moment that Hagrid locates him, and van Lynden vanished.

5th Year: Luuk van Lynden manages to find and attack Iefan’s sister Alys, almost managing to kill her before Joo-won arrived and fought him off, though he also escaped this encounter. Hearing about Alys’s attack, Ben and Iefan finally began to mend their broken friendship. Iefan also meets and befriends Jae Kim, and the two become very close very fast.

6th Year: For the first time, van Lyden attempts an attack on Joo-won, back home at Drisdey Manor. He is unsuccessful. For some reason, the fact that Iefan is part-vampire becomes relevant again, though this time is more of a popularity factor for reasons he cannot fathom.

7th Year: Luuk van Lynden infiltrates the Hogwarts grounds and tracks down Iefan to kill him. The two duel, and Iefan emerges victorious--van Lynden is killed with his own Killing Curse.

After Hogwarts: TBA

PERSONALITY

Oblivious: Iefan isn’t stupid, but he also isn’t smart. Really, he is just incredibly bad at noticing things and making connections between things, which means he learns better if things are explained to him in-depth. However, once it is all lined up for him, he has no problem understanding--he just needs help getting there.

Inquisitive: Because of his inability to form many mental connections, Iefan has a very inquisitive nature, and tends to ask a lot of questions that many people would refer to as ‘dumb.’ For him, they’re simply clarifying things, and significantly help his thought process.

Courageous: Iefan is brave almost to a debilitating point--he regularly walks the thin line between ‘brave’ and ‘stupid.’ His oblivious nature makes it so that he doesn’t think about actions in terms of their consequences, and therefore, is known to be up to jump right into pretty much anything. It’s almost something of a joke among his peers, who will often try to trick him into doing something dumb by taking advantage of his total lack of understanding of actions and consequences.

Protective: He picked up this trait from both his parents and his siblings, but it magnified significantly after his brother’s death. Living most of his life as someone who was being actively hunted and who had lost someone to such a thing already, Iefan was never the type to take chances, and if he could dissuade someone he loved from doing something dangerous, he would certainly try, and if he failed, and he would do everything he could to ensure their safety.

Joker: Iefan, for all his seriousness, found a lot of solace in jokes and remarks--and, stemming from his childhood under a tyrannical Alys, pranks. It was something he picked up from his father, the fun-loving parent, and his way of trying to make everything not quite so dark.

~~~~~

MISC

sunscreen is one of Iefan’s most prized possessions, and he always has some on him. He burns ridiculously easily, as he is hypersensitive to sunlight, which is the reason for his long sleeves in summer and his constant use of sunglasses outside

the Min-Llewellyns rarely eat any Korean cuisine despite being half-Korean, as Korean food makes substantial use of garlic, and they’re all severely averse to it (aside from Osian, who avoids it in solidarity)

Iefan has amazing vision, even in the dark, which is one of the reasons he is such a good Seeker

almost no one at Hogwarts correctly pronounces Iefan upon first reading the name--some students and teachers just outright refer to him as John, as it is the English version of his name

the John thing annoys Iefan a lot but it doesn’t really stop until around his sixth year when everyone is familiar with him and they have been going to school together for a while

Alys has the same issue with people referring to her as “Alice,” and takes immense joy in the fact that Iefan has the same issue

in school, Iefan and Jae will often mutter private conversations in Korean. Iefan also does this with Alys

he doesn’t drink blood, but he likes to trick younger students at Hogwarts into thinking he does

Alys does not appreciate this

He has a burn scar on his upper chest and right shoulder from his Chinese Fireball, and a long, jagged claw mark on his left calf from the talons of his griffin.

Inventory:

his wand

jerky of some sort, as most of his permanent-care animals are carnivorous

an old necklace with some sort of animal tooth on his belonging to his brother (he has no idea what kind of tooth, which has confused him for years considering he can identify a great deal of teeth given his extensive knowledge of magical creatures)

an old ring his mother gave him before he began attending Hogwarts--it has no magical properties, but it helps him feel connected to her, as both have negative memories of Hogwarts claiming someone they love

RELATIONSHIPS

Jacob Knight: Cash’s brother. He and Cash were never very close, especially considering the sizeable age gap (ten years) between them--Cash was under a year old when Jacob began attending Hogwarts, which meant the two only got the chance to bond and grow as brothers when Jacob was home for the summer or holidays. As Jacob got older and grew more distant from the family, and had greater desire to get away from their father, he stopped visiting even for holidays, and so he and Cash we never really close. Therefore, Cash had very conflicting feelings when he heard about Jacob’s disappearance. He wasn’t sure how to grieve someone he barely knew, but he was still able to understand the grief through how it affected his mother.

Edmund Knight: Cash’s father. He served an antagonistic role the entire time he remained present in Cash’s life. He was often verbally abusive towards both of his sons, as well as, even more often, his wife Alexandra. Cash spent most of his early childhood under his thumb, flinching when he heard raised voices. This persisted until Cash was six, and one night, while Jacob was still away at school, his father snapped and physically attacked him, hitting him and hurling him into hard objects. It was his final act; as he attacked her son, Edmund’s wife, Alexandra, drew her wand and killed him with the Killing Curse. Neither she nor Cash ever revealed how Edmund truly died, and at his funeral, it was said he died of tuberculosis.

Alexandra Knight: Cash’s mother. Her maiden name was Grimm, and he grew up in her family’s manor outside of London. After his father’s death by her hand, she became his lone parent and guardian. To Cash, she is a saint, and taught him more about being a man than any man ever did. After Jacob’s disappearance, his mother became very fragile, and Cash was reluctant to go to Hogwarts and leave her alone. However, he always returned home for holidays, and the two maintained a consistent communication through letters. It was for his mother’s sake that Cash was so invested in the recovery of his missing brother.

Merula Snyde: Cash’s rival, and future love interest, though not for several years. Both their first and second years were spent engaging in juvenile rivalry. In their third year at Hogwarts, Merula was the first to learn of Cash’s changed nature as a werewolf. However, true to his request, she didn’t inform anyone of his affliction, which was the beginning of their relationship taking a gradually more positive turn. They built a tentative friendship over the next few years, becoming something akin to frenemies, but he didn’t muster up the courage to ask her out until their sixth year. However, they didn’t begin venturing into an actual relationship until their seventh year, as a tragic event in their sixth year took priority.

Rowan Khanna: Cash’s best friend. The two met during Cash’s (technically second, but the first time he visited was as an infant) trip to Diagon Alley to prepare for his first year at Hogwarts. They then met again at Hogwarts, and stuck together for the entirety of Rowan’s attendance at the school. Rowan helped Cash hunt down and break the curses on the Cursed Vaults to follow in the steps of Jacob, as well as keep up with his classwork, as Cash was never the best at prioritizing his time. They remained thick as thieves until Rowan’s death in their sixth year at Hogwarts.

Penny Haywood: Aside from Rowan, Cash’s best friend. The two also met in their first year at Hogwarts, becoming fast friends once Penny also began participating in helping Cash track down the Cursed Vaults. She was responsible for him beginning to play Quidditch in his second year, being a huge fan herself, and was his closest friend after Rowan’s tragic passing. Cash always gave Penny complete credit for his high marks in Potions class.

Tulip Karasu: Cash’s friend. Though they never spent as much time together as Cash and Rowan or Penny, they were quite close in the way that they just understood each other in a way others didn’t. It was easy for them to spend hours in each others’ company in silence, and both could discern the emotions of the other with relative ease. Tulip was the second person to learn about Cash’s nature as a werewolf, but unlike Merula, who learned because she was forced to incapacitate him when he attacked her in werewolf form, Tulip learned because Cash confided in her.

Icarus: The Grimm family has quite an infamous reputation, known for being surrounded by death and despair in the Wizarding World. Many spoke tales of seeing a Grim during their lives, and would end up suffering from untimely deaths. Icarus is the Grim that Cash would often see in the corner of the woods around Grimm Hall--a massive black dog the size of a bear, with eerie yellow eyes. Before the age of ten, the only time Cash ever saw the Grim outside of the woods was the day his father died, when he looked out the window and saw the dog on the grounds, watching the family himself. When he was ten, Cash began seeing him more, and named the dog Icarus. He also sees him in the Forbidden Forest or on the grounds at night around Hogwarts.

Rival: Merula Snyde

Enemy: R; Patricia Rakepick

Dormmates: TBA

Pets: Icarus, the infamous Grim, although it’s uncertain whether Cash can truly consider Icarus a ‘pet.’

Closest Canon Friends: Rowan Khanna, Penny Haywood, and Tulip Karasu

~~~~~

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Pre-Hogwarts: Cash was born in Grimm Hall outside of London, England, to Edmund Knight and Alexandra Knight, who already had an older child, Jacob. He was never close with his brother, who he barely got to know since he was at Hogwarts for the majority of the time, and he was mentally abused by his father until Edmund’s death by the hand of his mother, who did so to save Cash’s life. His brother disappeared when Cash was seven, which meant he and his mother were reluctant for Cash to begin attending Hogwarts himself, but he did begin school at age 11.

1st Year: Cash began attending Hogwarts, and was sorted into Slytherin House alongside his new friend, Rowan Khanna. He also met and befriended Penny Haywood, one of the most popular girls in his year, and began his rivalry with Merula Snyde. He also located the first of the five Cursed Vaults, but did not manage to get inside.

2nd Year: His first year on the Quidditch team, joining his House team as one of three Chasers. At the end of the year, Cash finally enters the first Cursed Vault, the Vault of Ice, and manages to locate his brother’s wand and notebook, as well as free the school from the Vault’s curse. Furthermore, it is the year Cash begins learning more about his natural Legilimency.

3rd Year: Cash meets and befriends Tulip Karasu in order to try and open the Vault of Fear. His year is further complicated by being attacked and bitten by the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and, thus, being transformed into a werewolf himself. While Cash tried to adjust to his new reality, on a full moon, he came face-to-face with Merula Snyde and tried to attack her. She incapacitated him, but also learned his identity, though she told no one. At the end of the year, Cash managed to open and complete the Vault of Fear, finding a map and an arrow inside.

4th Year: The year Cash confesses his nature as a werewolf to his three friends Rowan, Penny, and Tulip, though to Tulip first. He also manages to find and open the Forest Vault in his fourth year, and end the sleepwalking curse on the school that resulted in the deaths of multiple students, doing so with the aid of the Grim called Icarus. Inside, he learns his brother is trapped in the next Vault, and finds a sweater and a dragon portrait within.

5th Year: Cash, Merula, and Bill Weasley all three are apprenticed to Professor Rakepick as her trio of curse-breakers, and learn a great deal of magic from her. It was also the year they opened the Buried Vault and learned about Rakepick’s true nature, and finally located Cash’s missing brother Jacob within the Vault.

6th Year: Despite beginning the year in Rakepick’s absence, her return to Hogwarts grounds resulted in the death of Cash’s closest friend, Rowan Khanna. His death changed Cash--for once in his life, he finally understood grief and losing someone so important the world stops turning. He, however, still had to persist and open the fifth and final Vault--the Sunken Vault, which he did not manage to open. However, he did lock Rakepick within it.

7th Year: TBA

After Hogwarts: TBA

PERSONALITY

Compassionate: Cash cares enormously about people, and his level of empathy is quite high. This is even further elevated by his adept skills in Legilimency, a natural power of his that lets him subconsciously attune to the emotions of others. He tries to show compassion for everyone, to his best ability.

Kind: Cash is, generally, a nice person, rarely resorting to insults or mean actions to get his point across or retaliate if someone is being cruel to him. He likes to make other people happy, and it comes across often in his everyday behavior.

Cunning: Despite his empathetic nature, Cash is still capable of extreme manipulation, and he is not always forthcoming. He has no issue with deceit or acting behind the backs of others if it doesn’t hurt anyone and furthers his goals. He doesn’t do so if he believes it would hurt anyone’s feelings, though, things he cares greatly about, but he is doubtlessly clever. It isn’t a quality that comes through particularly often.

Calm: One of Cash’s most notable features is that he is remarkably unshakeable. It’s almost impossible to ruffle his feathers, something many of his enemies find particularly irksome. He is able to maintain relaxation and composure in almost any situation, which also has a practical use. In times of extreme danger, Cash isn’t one to lose his cool. It’s almost something of a game among his friends to see if they can actually irritate him, but it’s impossible, as far as they know. The only time anyone has ever heard him lose it was upon Rowan’s death.

Curious: Cash observes the world with the wide, curious eyes of a child experiencing it all for the first time. He finds most things fascinating and always wants to know more. He’s one to ask a lot of questions, simply because he likes to know. If he wasn’t a Slytherin, he would have been a Ravenclaw, given his desire just to know more. This is the trait that plays heavily into his love for magizoology.

~~~~~

MISC

Cash has a side fascination with Greek mythology, so he’s familiar with a great number of Greek myths and tragedies

he also names all of his permanent-care creatures after figures from Greek mythology

Cash’s relationship with Icarus improves over time, as Icarus appears to him more and more and even lets Cash touch him; eventually, Cash can call for him and he will appear

once Cash reveals the existence of Icarus to a few of his friends in confidence, they form the theory that the Grim acts as an omen of death to all but Cash, acting as some sort of protective spirit

the actual reason for the closeness of Icarus’s and Cash’s relationship is unknown, though, as so little is known about Grims

Cash learns the Patronus charm in his fourth year, and he was always shocked that his Patronus wasn’t a Grim

Jacob calls Cash ‘Cass’ as short for Cassian, which Cash doesn’t enjoy in the slightest--his father was the only person in his life who exclusively referred to him as Cassian, and Cash dislikes the reminder

it takes Cash several years before he really comes to terms with being a werewolf--however, his mother accepts it remarkably quickly, which helps Cash to accept himself post-attack

once more of his friends know he is a werewolf, they begin the trend of scratching his head, which he actually enjoys a lot, but pretends not to because his friends find it hilarious when he reacts in a laughably canine way

he LOVES Quidditch but it isn’t always something he is able to make a priority, to his chagrin

RELATIONSHIPS

Tanaka Hiroto: Naru’s father. He was an infamous Dark wizard that terrorized the East Asian wizarding world for multiple years, as he was expelled at the age of 17 from Mahoutokoro for being discovered to practice the Dark Arts. Hiroto hid his identity and lived as Tanaka Minato in Tokyo until his wife, Kirika, discovered his true identity. She, an employee of the Japanese Ministry of Magic, revealed to the Ministry that she knew Tanaka Hiroto’s location, which culminated in a duel of epic proportions between Hiroto and the Ministry that resulted in his death. Naru was only three years old at the time, and has no recollection of his father. However, Hiroto has still managed to act as a dark cloud hanging over his son for most of Naru’s life.

Genji Kirika: Naru’s mother. Unfortunately, he and his mother maintained a very strained relationship for a good portion of his life, despite, deep down, both loving the other very much. Once Naru began attending Mahoutokoro at the age of seven, he was often resentful that he felt ostracized and lonely because the other children were scared of him from hearing about his father’s reign of terror. It was a frustration that he often took out with his mother to find someone to blame, and what with her job at the Ministry and Naru spending more and more time at Mahoutokoro as the years progressed, they simply didn’t see each other enough to heal their fractured relationship--one that simply soured further as Naru grew up into a stereotypical rebellious teen. When Naru was nearly fifteen, Kirika was tragically murdered by another wizard practicing Dark Arts, and leaving too much unsaid between them became Naru’s greatest regret.

Genji Sara: Naru’s aunt. After his father’s death, his aunt moved away from Japan, across the world to London, England, where she began working for the British Ministry of Magic. Naru, consequently, didn’t remember meeting her at all until he met her again after his mother’s abrupt death led to Sara being his only living relative and, consequently, legal guardian. Because Sara lived in England, Naru was forced to do as she had and move across the world from Tokyo to London, which also meant his transfer from Mahoutokoro to Hogwarts. The two didn’t get along very well at first, which can be attributed to Naru--it was only after his first year at Hogwarts that he came to terms with his mother’s death and began the process of trying to move on, and let himself start to grow close to his aunt and grieve with her. By the time he was seventeen, Naru and his aunt had a very good relationship.

Yamashita Shotaro: Naru’s rival. At Mahoutokoro, Shotaro was typically the instigator of conversations involving Naru’s relation to the infamous Tanaka Hiroto, which inevitably led to them consistently conflicting over the years. Shotaro was another reason it was particularly difficult for Naru to make any good friends, because he tended to scare people off with mentions of Naru’s ties to Dark magic.

Rival: Yamashita Shotaro (Mahoutokoro)

Enemy: TBA

Dormmates: TBA

Pets: Adzuki, his aunt’s bull mastiff. Growing up, Naru was never allowed pets, but moving to England taught him that he loves dogs.

Closest Canon Friends: N/A

Closest MC Friends: TBA

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Pre-Mahoutokoro: Naru was born in Tokyo, Japan, to Tanaka Hiroto and, at the time, Tanaka Kirika. He was a quiet child, and certainly a mother’s boy when he was young--obviously, this was especially true after his father was exposed as a Dark wizard and killed when Naru was three. Only four more years passed, mostly cheerful ones during which he and his mother were quite close and happy, until he began attending Mahoutokoro at the age of seven.

1st Year: Naru began attending Mahoutokoro, and quickly discovered that he did not really like school. Once people learned his surname, he felt as though students began going out of their way to avoid him, finding him suddenly ‘creepy.’ It was a lot for a seven-year-old to handle, and impacted him negatively.

2nd Year: Much of the same events as the first year, though this was the year Naru was nipped by a giant storm petrel on his hand, a wound that scarred over. Furthermore, it was the year he was revealed to be a Parselmouth, the rumored sign of a Dark wizard. The year was also the beginning of the decline of his extremely close relationship with his mother.

3rd Year: The first year Naru finally began to make some friends, as children matured and realized it was an unfair judgement to compare Naru to his father immediately. His school life began not being completely horrible.

4th Year: Naru began Quidditch training, something Mahoutokoro was incredibly serious about. He was only ten years old, but had been recognized for talent, and trained over the stormy waters in pelting rain to join the team in two years. Being scouted for Quidditch also increased his social standing.

5th Year: Naru’s first year boarding at Mahoutokoro, which meant an absurd amount of training for his first year in Quidditch next year and a lot more conflict with his usual antagonist, Shotaro. For eleven-year-olds, they got into trouble quite often.

6th Year: His first year on the official school Quidditch team, as the new Mahoutokoro Seeker, which somehow led to even more training than he’d been doing originally. Subsequently, as Quidditch was his main focus--something the school supported--Naru didn’t get the best grades, which caused some issues with his mother at home.

7th Year: The ten-year anniversary of his father’s death, and weirdly, his all-time high of social standing. Being amazing at Quidditch, a very serious topic in Japan, had earned him more friends than his actual personality. The more people Naru had to interact with daily, though, the less comfortable he got, as his father was still something people brought up regularly and he was learning that too many people at once could be a bit overwhelming for him.

8th Year: Another uncomfortable year of being well-known at school--being liked for Quidditch and being gawked at because of the identity of his father. Unbeknownst to Naru, it would be his last year at Mahoutokoro. At the very end of the school year, just after Naru came home, his mother was tragically murdered, and he had to move to London to live with his aunt, which meant his transfer to Hogwarts.

Pre-Hogwarts: Naru spent the remainder of his 8th year summer in London with his aunt, mostly ignoring her attempts to get to know him better and talk about Kirika’s death.

5th Year: Naru began his first year at Hogwarts having to integrate into a student body that had been growing and forming friendships among themselves for five years, as well as being only semi-fluent in English and having to learn it as he progressed through the schoolyear. He was sorted into Slytherin House and tried out for the Quidditch team as soon as he could, becoming the Slytherin Seeker. His only relief was Quidditch, as well as the knowledge that very few people at Hogwarts knew anything about his father.

PERSONALITY

Impulsive: Naru isn’t one to plan, and is very prone to spur-of-the-moment decisions that don’t always end the best for him. In fact, his impulsivity got him into trouble pretty regularly at both Mahoutokoro and Hogwarts, and with his guardians.

Caring: Although he’s arguably obtuse and slightly emotionally stunted, Naru’s capacity for love is enormous, and he cares an immeasurable amount for the people he loves. Although he’s bad at showing his affection through words, he tries to show it through gestures such as taking care of something that had been bothering someone, or buying someone a gift, or cooking someone a meal.

Protective: Naru also developed very protective tendencies that only grew stronger after his mother’s death, and he would do anything to prevent the death of another loved one. He tries not to limit anyone’s freedom with this trait, but it does mean he’s very often on guard and keeping an eye out to make sure everything is in order and everyone is safe, and rarely relaxes.

Observant: Naru is particularly good at noticing things; moreso than most. He pays attention to small details, and treats insignificant things as though they are important. This typically means he’s quite good at deducing things about people based on body language, or spotting a hidden door, or something tucked away in a corner. It also means he pays quite close attention to his friends and family--for example, noticing a friend prefers a specific flavor of pastry, and making sure there’s always some left for them.

Secretive: It’s not that Naru actively keeps many secrets, but he also likes to keep things to himself, especially when he’s concerned people might judge or dislike him for revealing anything. He’s a tough shell to crack.

he never loses his Japanese accent, but his English does significantly improve during his time at Hogwarts, mostly from help from his British friends

in London, at home with his aunt, they speak Japanese, so Adzuki’s commands are all in Japanese

“We don’t have any Quidditch coaches, we learn from storm petrels. That’s why we keep winning the Cup.”

Naru became an Auror after Hogwarts to chase down Dark wizards and officially leave his father’s legacy behind

at fifteen, he received an inheritance from his father in the form of his wand

Naru is unable to produce a Patronus using any memories from Japan, because the only ones potentially powerful enough were with his mother
