Physical Description: William has brown eyes, is quite pale, and is a reasonably short boy for his age, somewhere around 4ft 10in, and has medium-length brown hair that is usually well maintained and cut regularly. He is a remarkably clean and smartly-dressed person, always tucking his shirt in and having combed hair from a young age, partially due to his parent's high standards for appearance. He has a pair of thick-rimmed glasses that he uses for reading, but doesn't need them for anything else.

Mental Description: Will is quite an introverted person, only having one friend: Mark, who frequented the Hunt's house and would always play with him when he could! He didn't really have a close relationship with any of his sisters, as they were over a decade older than him, but he liked seeing them at Christmas at least. He, like most children of his age, is prone to some mood-swings, but he is a generally bubbly and kind person.

Biography: William Hunt was the youngest member of the Hunt family, who previously owned a lot of clothing stores in and around the Aberdeen area. As a result, his close family were well-respected and well-liked throughout the city. His paternal grandparents had very little interaction with him growing up, as they were ashamed of his father for marrying a muggle-born witch, which unfortunately meant that Will had little knowledge of his heritage. He had three elder sisters, all of whom were much older than young William, and had since left Hogwarts and apparently worked in the muggle world. He did, however, had a single solitary friend: Mark. Will and Mark were acquainted as Mark's mother was a family friend of Eleanor, William's mother. Everyday after tea, Mark and Will would explore the forest behind Will's house, building forts and playing hide and seek. It was a happy existence for Will, but he knew that he was going to find it difficult to bid that life goodbye when he'd have to move to Hogwarts.

First Instance of Magic: Will's first instance of wandless magic was when his paternal great-aunt Theodora visited from Germany. She was a rather difficult woman, often criticising William for associating with muggles, and was most certainly not fond of his muggle-born mother. For his tenth birthday, she had bought him a small train set that he could set up around the living room. He was rather fond of trains, as he could see them behind his house, but knew almost nothing about riding one. He was sitting on the floor while Theodora launched into yet another strongly-worded diatribe about his mother when he locked his gaze onto the train, concentrating hard before it began to swiftly levitate and hit Theodora in the back by accident. Fortunately, she was pleased that he had finally shown his magical ability.
