Physical Description:
Alaric Evander Morvain, a boy with a slender, gentle face that takes after his mother’s features. He has pale skin and curly eyelashes. His jet-black hair is styled in a layered wolf-cut that reaches the nape of his neck, with bangs that fall over his eyes. He has a slender build —but not skinny or unkempt— and stands 147 cm tall. His fingers are long and neat; his mother always says he’d be perfect for playing the piano. His calm demeanor often deceives people into thinking that inside his small brain lie all sorts of extraordinary… mischievous ideas.

Mental Description:
Behind his calm exterior, he actually harbors crazy, mischievous ideas in his mind. He might still be able to restrain himself when faced with minor teasing, but sometimes he gets annoyed if the teasing is repeated over and over,it really bothers him. In his frustration, he often gets his revenge by playing pranks on them.

Biography:
Alaric comes from a family of wizards; his pure-blood father married his half-blood mother. Their family is like any other. Although his father comes from a pure-blood family, they don’t place many demands on Alaric.
He was often teased by his cousins because of his feminine appearance; his long hair only added fuel to the mockery. He was frequently called a “pretty-boy” as a joke. Alaric tried not to take their remarks seriously, although at times their comments truly crossed the line of his patience.
As time went on, his facial features began to change, gradually becoming more defined, though he still gave off a girlish impression. He never intended to cut his hair, even though it was one of the reasons he was often teased.

First Instance of Magic:
When he was 8 y.o, during a family dinner with the entire Morvain family, Alaric was with his cousins. He was used to hearing comments like “pretty little girl,” but that night they had other plans. His cousins made some pink satin ribbons and pinned them to Alaric’s hair. He tried to brush them off repeatedly, but he wasn’t strong enough to fight them off on his own. He grew annoyed when the adults joined in the laughter, even though there was no mockery intended. However, there was no sign that his cousins would stop; he grew increasingly annoyed and embarrassed, until—without him realizing it—the ribbons in his hair flew off on their own like butterflies. They multiplied rapidly and swarmed toward his cousins. Alaric had no idea what was happening; he was stunned to see more and more of his ribbons appearing. In shock, he stepped away from the chaos and watched the scene in disbelief. The adults also seemed taken by surprise, but they quickly cast a spell to make the ribbons vanish. When asked who had cast the spell, everyone shook their heads —none of them had done it actually. Alaric was still standing a little way off from them, his face still frozen in astonishment. Now everyone was staring at him; even though he was stunned, he felt satisfied that his cousins had stopped bothering him (and gotten their comeuppance). He heard someone clap their hands, “BRAVO!” It was his father. His father explained that perhaps that had been Alaric’s magic. Alaric stared at his palms; he felt like he hadn’t done anything, but he’d been told that a person’s magic would manifest unintentionally at a certain age. He wasn’t sure if what had just happened was because he’d been upset or if it was just a coincidence. Still feeling confused, his father had already led him to a seat, saying that he could become a great wizard.
After that incident, Alaric was no longer sure if he had actually cast the spell himself. But one thing he realized was that every time he got really upset, something always “happened.” At first he thought it was strange, until eventually he stopped overthinking it. After all, if the magic appeared to help him get back at the people who bothered him… maybe it wasn’t so bad.

Intended for the 2026–2027 first-year intake.
