Physical Description: Kaiming is naturally gifted with striking looks, taking after the best of both of his parents. His almond-shaped eyes are bright with curiosity, carrying a glimmer that rarely fades. Fair skin and soft, well-defined features lend him an approachable appearance that contrasts pleasantly with the quiet confidence he carries himself with. His ebony hair that is slightly longer than it ought to be perfectly frames his face, with untidy strands often falling into his eyes when he is engrossed in something. A warm smile comes easily to him, often accompanied by expressive gestures and an animated voice whenever he speaks about something he loves. His sense of fashion has always been impeccable from a remarkably young age, a trait inherited from his mother. The young lad is taller than most boys his age, standing at 4'10" at just eleven years old.

Mental Description: There is a restless energy about him, as if his mind were always reeling with ideas. His ambition for knowledge is undeniable, as one would often find him in places where he ought not be with little regard for failure or peril. He carries a charm, making conversations naturally easier with him, and his genuine interest in others often gives an impression that he is flirting. Joking around and slipping his favourite references in everyday conversations is another trait he inherited from his mother, his favourite pastime. His enthusiasm is infectious, making him a sort of person who can rally others behind even the most spontaneous of ideas. Beneath his easygoing exterior lies an incredibly independent spirit. Kaiming dislikes having his choices dictated to him and values the freedom to carve his own path. His eagerness to seize opportunities can occasionally make him impulsive, causing him to take actions without understanding consequences. Nevertheless, he is resilient and quick to adapt, not letting the failure get to his head.

Biography: Zhang Kaiming was born to Zhuo Xin Kē and Zhang Jiā ān on a rather pleasant evening of 30 January 2015, at 9:12 pm.
His parents came from vastly different backgrounds. His mother was a muggle, while his father belongs to the Zhang family, a prestigious pure-blood wizarding lineage based in Europe. Jiā ān spent his childhood in the grand Zhang mansion and later attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he was sorted into Gryffindor, following a long-standing family tradition.
A fortunate business trip in China made him cross paths with Xin Kē, whom he fell in love with immediately. Though she did not return his feelings at first, Jiā ān pursued her tirelessly until she eventually confessed that she too was in love.
Marriage was not delayed, and 2 years later they were blessed by a healthy baby boy.

From a very young age, Kaiming showed an unusual fascination with computers and technology, perhaps inheriting from his mother, who works as an R&D engineer at Huawei. However, this was something that displeased his paternal grandparents. Concerned that their grandson was neglecting his magical heritage, they proposed taking him to England so he could become more immersed in the wizarding world.
Before his parents could consider the proposal, Kaiming erupted into a tantrum upon hearing it. His refusal was so fierce and unwavering that the plan had to be abandoned. It became clear he had no intention of leaving China behind.

The half-blood thus grew up attending an international school, becoming fluent in Mandarin and reasonably proficient in English. While he remained far more interested in the Muggle world than magic, he loved hearing bits and pieces of the wizarding world from his father, who often spoke fondly of his adventures at Hogwarts.

First Instance of Magic: A 5-year-old Kaiming, on a visit to his maternal grandparents finds a relatively taller tree that bore colourful fruits. Several attempts are thus made to climb the tree, all fruitless. His small, chubby hands were unable to grip the bark of the tree properly. Mysteriously the tree toppled over on its own, and a young Kaiming ran around it to collect its fruits. His parents would later find him, all covered in dirt and his small arms filled with fruits. The boy would then point out the tree innocently, insisting the 'tree lay down on its own, for it was tired'. His father would then suspect his son's accidental magic had made its first appearance, and his mother would hug him, grateful that he was safe.
