Eyre Reeves is a generally shy, quiet pure-blood wizard with curly dark brown hair and blue eyes. His skin is light and freckled, and he has a particularly gangly outward appearance. Once one is to get to know him, however, he is friendly, loyal, and shows the ambition and willingness to prove himself as a member of the Reeves family, as he is the youngest out of 6 siblings, all sisters. You'd think that as the only boy he would get special treatment, but it's the contrary. In fact, he tends to be overlooked by his otherwise even-tempered and reasonable parents.

Eyre felt an overwhelming sense of pressure to have his first magical incident, but was a late bloomer. Adding to the pressure were his siblings, some of them insisting that he must be a Squib, the others rallying behind him and saying that they needed to be give him a break and be patient. This caused some uproar in the household as his eleventh birthday was coming closer. Although he trusted his parents, he had heard stories of pure-blood families sending their children away because of their lack of ability, so he was extraordinarily worried of not making the cut.

On the evening of his 10th birthday, the subject came up at the family dinner table as he was about to blow out his candles. His eldest sister had taunted him about how he should enjoy his cake while he had it, because at the rate that things were going he wouldn't have another one next year on the streets. When his sister refused to take it back, the anger boiled up inside of him. Suddenly, the candles on his cake turned into tiny lit fuses, which sunk lower and lower into the cake until it exploded, flinging bits of raspberry and lemon frosting all over the place. Eyre was horrified, but was relieved when it was met with whooping laughter from his entire family as they picked crumbs of cake away from their faces and congratulated him on a memorable first incident.

From then on, Eyre has been excited at the prospect of going to school and becoming a proper wizard. However, he can't help but feel nervous at the idea of failure. He wants to become the best wizard that he can be, and he hopes that his time at Hogwarts will prove that he can become more than his family thinks that he will become.
