Physical Description:
Edwin stands on the taller side for his age, standing at exactly 5 feet tall, and is often spotted in a lazily put together uniform, his top buttons undone or his tie shoddily tied. This same lazy styling is present with his blonde hair, which is often just brushed back off of his forehead. His eyes are pale in colour, somewhere in between a blue tone and grey, which compliments his pale skin tone.
Mental Description:
Hard work does not come naturally to Edwin, as he would much rather laze around, rather than actually applying himself in any capacity. To many, he comes across as almost bored, and uninterested, which can be attributed more to his laziness, rather than anything else. Oddly, despite his laziness, he's an incredibly curious individual, who greatly enjoys reading. This passion, however, is not reflected in his attitude towards classes and school work, as he'd much rather read content of a subject that he is passionate about. When doing anything related to his interests, he becomes a perfectionist.
Whilst he tends to be quite polite, and kind whilst interacting with others, he often comes across as somewhat selfish, and self-centred, but in part this is due to him simply being too lazy to offer much help with others. He is often quiet in social settings, not wishing to draw attention to himself.
Whilst he is incredibly lazy, he is highly ambitious, although this is not a trait that he will often reveal to others, but he internally struggles with this drive for success, against being able to motivate himself to actually apply himself to achieving these ambitions, and would often lean towards being jealous of those who are outgoing, and full of energy.
Biography:
The Westbridge family is an old, wealthy pureblood family residing in the outskirts of London. Despite being a fairly traditional old pureblooded family, they are generally indifferent towards muggles, and blood statuses that may traditionally be considered as lesser. Instead of holding any prejudice, most members of the Westbridge family simply hold a curiosity about muggleborns, and consider the traditional views to be outdated. Although, they are more than happy to associate, and mix with families who still hold these views. This change in value can likely be attributed to the families proximity with London, effectively guaranteeing there would be some interactions with muggles. Prior to his birth, both of Edwins birth, both of his parents had worked as Aurors, but his mother retired as he was born, intent on becoming a stay at home mum.
Edwin is the youngest of four sons, and is the youngest by many years. His eldest two siblings already being at Hogwarts by the time of Edwins birth, and the third finishing his time at Hogwarts by the time Edwin was 10. His parents were older by the time Edwin was born, leading them to spoil their youngest much more than any of his siblings. This spoiling lead to his lazy attitude, especially compared to his siblings who had all done incredibly well at Hogwarts, and gone onto working respectable jobs within the ministry. Edwin, however, could simply do no wrong in the eyes of his parents. If he fell asleep with his tutor, it was the tutors fault, not Edwins, and the tutor would likely be dismissed. Edwin went through an impressive amount of tutors during his childhood, before eventually his mother took over, serving as Edwins tutor for the rest of his childhood. This difference in parenting methods, as well as the sizeable age differences, lead to Edwin having a strained relationship with his siblings.
First Instance of Magic:
Edwin was perhaps around 5 years old when he first demonstrated magic. He had a favourite toy, which was a fake snitch, and his second eldest brother placed this toy far out of his reach, on top of a high shelf. His brother watched and laughed as Edwin jumped about, desperately reaching for it, until suddenly the shelf snapped in half, the toy dropping down onto the floor, just in front of Edwin. Much to Edwins joy, his brother was also lectured, and told off, as they assumed he had caused the damage to the shelf.
