24 Jul 2011
Nationality:
English
Residence:
Lancaster, England
Function:
First year, Ravenclaw
Wand:
23,6 cm walnut wood and snallygaster heartstring
Physical Description: Blond hair, blue eyes. 145 cm in height. Physically fit; a result of training under the strict supervision of his father, preparing him for the worst in case he loses his wand amidst combat. He would regularly smear blue paint on his cheek, the color of his family's eyes and a symbol of the blood his ancestors shed for the sake of their honor and glory.

Mental Description: Persuasive and has the knack of befriending everyone he came across with. He was the complete opposite of what was being practiced by everyone in his family for generations. He believed that there's more to life than pouring all his time into hardening his heart and representing the "Tough McCarthian Blood". He found out that having some time off away from the watchful eyes of his family will give him the freedom that he has been longing for.

Biography: Born to Charlie McCarthy and Laura Odith, he was the youngest of five sons, and the most disregarded by their father, leading Laura to always side with George whenever disagreement would break out between him and his father and brothers.

Most of the men in the family were born in the dead of the night, manifesting their tough and dark spirits, foreshadowing their inconspicuous and predatory warrior character after they've come of age. It was a symbolic occurrence that they'd carry with pride throughout their lives. George, however, was different as he was born in broad daylight despite Charlie's efforts of forcing him out of Laura's womb earlier before the actual birth. Charlie then started blaming Laura for not birthing their youngest at night like the rest of their children. Laura, on the other hand, saw George's birth differently. She believed that George coming out of her underneath the sunrise was a sign of a new path and future for their family.

George grew up adapting to his brothers' antics enforced by their father's dislike toward him. At one time, he found out that it was his brothers who would cause the early deaths of his pets, so he'd ask his Uncle Ten, his mother's brother, to make him a small compartment (a small box in a shape of jewelry box like the one his mother owned) where he could pocket his little friends without any of his brothers finding out. Things won't always go the way we expect them to. His brothers told Charlie about the compartment, emphasizing it as a cowardly move instead of fighting back against them to defend his animals. Charlie was quick to agree with his sons and declared the compartment to be burned.

George (and with Laura's support) fought back to spare the lives of his pets. Upon realizing that his arguments were not being heard, he shouted his frustrations with all his heart and might. An earthquake occurred shaking off the dust from their ceiling and disarranging the light furniture. With a drop of his tear, rain came showering down outside their home. The entire family was left speechless. Even Charlie had to put down the box and leave the room, marking that day as the start of him acknowledging George even just a little.

At the age of five, Charlie permitted George to join the combat training, unlike his older sons whom he permitted when they were older than George. The older ones started seeing George as a threat that could surpass them at any time. He was no longer a mere child they could pick on.

Family:
  • Father: Charlie McCarthy - As head of the McCarthy family, he is the current wearer of the blue ring that has been passed down from one generation to another. He will be choosing the next son to inherit it after him.
  • Mother: Laura Odith - A loving mother who feels no resentment against any of her sons. Charlie was prideful of having her as his wife as she was one of the few ladies in the family to have given birth to many sons and young warriors.
  • Brothers: Charter, Claudio, Colton, Chester
  • Uncle: Ten Odith - A traveling performer, resented by his parents for refusing to follow in their footsteps instead of becoming the eccentric man tirelessly crafting toys for children.
