Physical Description :
Unusually tall for his age, Landsey often gives others the impression that he’s looking down on them, his square jaw, long nose, and large eyes which lend him an almost stern look certainly don’t help. Being very athletic, he already has a well-defined physique for a child, hinting at the body of a future athlete. His skin is quite rough but very fair, scattered with freckles that are likely to increase as he grows. He has striking red hair, styled into a long mullet shaved at the sides near his ears, often held in place with clips given to him by his mother. Sometimes, a small braid can be seen at the nape of his neck, his parents enjoy playing with his hair. Among his curly locks, some white strands stand out, and he has pale pink eyes due to piebaldism, an inherited, harmless condition that reduces melanin levels, resulting in this unusual eye color and lighter hair.
His clothing style is very chill, some even find he has a sort of “bad boy” charm, with his silver earrings, leather bracelets, and relaxed posture.

Mental Description :
From the outside, most people think Landsey is a troublemaker, a bad kid who listens to no one and causes problems.
But in truth, he’s the complete opposite. He’s like a marshmallow teddy bear, soft on the surface and tender on the inside. He’s sweet, caring, and enjoys doing good things, even if he’s a bit simple-minded. He does his best to behave, although his boundless energy and excitement sometimes get in the way.
He also has a very protective and even possessive side, especially toward his mothers. To him, they are the treasures of his heart, and he would do anything to protect them. He can easily become jealous when it comes to people or things he loves. Despite this, he remains a big-hearted, kind and loyal guy.
He’s practiced many sports : rugby, basketball, swimming, but the one he’s stuck with since he was little and deeply likes, is boxing. He also really enjoys listening to music, from metal and rock to French songs like those by Videoclub.

Biography :
His two moms met one evening by chance, and it was love at first sight. They became each other’s soulmates, bought a home styled in old Celtic fashion, got married, and built a life together.
Thanks to the ROPA method (Reception of Oocytes from Partner), they had their one and only child : Landsey Griffith, names that stands for protection, gentleness, and strength.
Unfortunately, Esus, who carried the baby, also has piebaldism, which she passed on to her son. She works as a jewelry designer with runes, has a little business in the muggle world during vacations, and works the rest of the year in her little shop in the Diagon Alley, because she loves all the human being, in both of worlds. She particularly enjoys making hair clips for Landsey. As for Belisama, she works in the field of environmental management : forests, coasts and nature conservation, to prevent any wild magical creatures from being endangered, or seen by muggles. Sometimes, if needed help, she works with the Hebrides Reserve.
With strong Celtic roots, both women are tall and muscular, passing on dominant genes to Landsey. They lovingly call him « My/Our Strawberry Moon » in reference to his pale pink eyes, a nickname full of tenderness. Since childhood, they’ve spoken Welsh with him often, so Landsey is fluent in both Welsh and English.
He spent part of his schooling in a regular school because his parents knew he enjoyed human connection. However, perhaps due to his differences or personality, other kids weren’t always kind, causing him to withdraw. His mothers then decided to homeschool him, his tutor being an old friend of Esus who taught him everything about the muggles and wizards world, helping him thrive in peace.
Landsey has only one close friend, the "best one" he says, a French boy he met at a sports summer camp. They’ve kept in touch ever since, and that friend, Lethys Morphée, is hyperactive, both gentle and brash, and teaches Landsey a few words in French trough their letters.

First Instance of Magic :
Landsey’s first magical accident happened late, maybe too late. His mothers, both wizard born, were growing concerned when nothing had manifested by the time he was nine and a half.
During an outing in the vast meadow behind their house, Belisama was showing Landsey how to saddle his horse. Just as she fastened the equipment, one of the stirrups slipped and fell directly toward the leg of the stool she was standing on.
Panicked, the young boy managed to nudge the stirrup away by a few centimeters, stopping the stool and his mother from falling. Soon after, his Hogwarts letter arrived, to the delight of the entire family.

P.S. : I'm sorry if my English is clumsy or rusty, it's not my first language !
