Physical Description: Standing at a very average 4'8" tall, Henry sports brown hair, bright and expressive blue eyes, an angular jawline, prominent cheekbones, and an infectious smile.
Mental Description: While possessing a charming personality, Henry is generally a soft-spoken and humble boy, often coming across as uncertain and self-deprecating. He's anxious about leaving home, so he's bringing his teddy bear, Buttons, with him for emotional support, along with a coat his dad let him borrow that's way too big for the eleven year old muggleborn, but it's warm and it smells like home. Along with these, he is bringing his granddad's old guitar, which he plays to center himself when his problems seem especially daunting. Despite his soft and emotional exterior, Henry finds he's very stubborn and resilient when pushed, and can be fiercely defensive of those he cares about, often acting impulsively if he feels like the situation calls for it.
Henry is an above average student, but does have a tendency to get distracted if something more interesting presents itself. He's enthusiastic about animals and the natural world, preferring to be outside with lots of fresh air as much as possible. He's also naturally curious and creative, so when he does have to be indoors, he can be found helping his dad with DIY projects around the house, watching mystery shows with his mum, or making up stories and games with his sister. He's also very fond of being cozy, so it's not uncommon to find him huddled under a blanket fort reading his favorite books, laying out in the grass gazing up at the stars, or recreating comforting recipes his gran left him.
Biography: Henry was born the youngest of two siblings, with an older sister named Helena who is two years his senior. The two were born in Bristol to a muggle family - specifically a mother named Susan who works as a journalist for the local paper and her husband Alan who had a short lived career as a rugby star, before winding up at his current position as a bouncer at a nightclub downtown once that stardom went supernova when Henry was about 3 years old. This change in financial stability coincided with a move from a relatively nice home in an affluent neighborhood to a home that definitely needs some tender loving care in a much worse off part of town. While the Holbrook family often finds itself living paycheck to paycheck these days, it's still a very loving and supportive household.
First Instance of Magic: Henry's first instance of magic occurred when he was about six years old. He was playing hide and seek with his sister, and he'd chosen a spot underneath the dining room table as his hiding spot. While he was waiting, he felt a tickle in his nose and tried to hold back his sneeze in order to avoid giving away his location. However the pepper shaker resting on the tablecloth sneezed for him, filling the room with a veritable explosion of black pepper.
