Name of PC: Meyra Lancaster
name of INPC: Katsuro Souto
School of INPC: Mahoutokoro
Year: 1st

Appearance:
Katsuro has black, short, thick hair that he usually styles in a controlled mess, like a "I just woke up from a nap and I'm still looking good" type of hairstyle. He considered it as an elemental piece of his natural charm. He has almond shaped and expressive eyes. They are as dark as cocoa, but when they reflect sunlight, the inner circle near the iris takes on a lighter, almost copper tone. His face is oval shaped, with smooth light golden skin that tans very easily, and heart-shaped lips. He is of average height for a twelve-year-old boy, with an agile, athletic build.

Personality:
Charming for some, unbearable for others. Depends if you are a person he wants to impress or someone that he doesn't see as worthy of his attention. He is a spoiled boy who is used to being the pride and joy of his family, this fact made him grow up feeling entitled to be and being perceived as the best of his kind. He can be arrogant, bossy, deceitful, and cruel if he belittles you. The reasons for looking down on others can be many, ranging from blood status, wealth, prestige or academic performance.

Ambition, determination and creativity are not innate in him, but he always finds ways to be perceived as someone with such characteristics, as he knows that these characteristics are valued by the elders in the family and by his tutors, and these are the people he wants to impress, because he values​​the gratification he receives from them. Be it in the form of compliments and more pampering, or better grades.

He comes from an old pure-blood family with aristocratic ways. This means that he was raised and educated to become a boy with graceful, gentle and polite manners, not only through his demeanour, but also with his use of words. He can be captivating and persuasive if he realises he can win with the use of his charms. This perfect portrait of an exemplar twelve year old boy, can be fragile though, as he tends to be impatient when things don't go his way. His impulsiveness sometimes has the tendency to put him into trouble, this happens more often than what he likes to admit.

Background Story:
Katsuro was born and raised between Kyoto, Japan and Braga, Portugal. His father, Diogo Souto, is a Portuguese wizard, whose studies were done at the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic. The Souto family is a well-known family in the Portuguese wizarding world, as they own one of the most famous Quidditch and Broom Racing stores in the city of Braga, hometown of the Braga Broomfleet, and it goes without saying that his father is a big fan and supporter of the team. Despite his fondness for the ancient game of Quidditch and its tradition, Diogo Souto found his greatest passion in Broom Racing. He works as an ambassador at the Japanese Ministry of Magic in the Magical Games and Sports Department.

His mother, Mizuna Goto is the middle sister of Haruto Goto, father of Miharu Goto. The Goto family is a prestigious and noble pure-blood family with intrinsic beliefs based on traditional views of blood purity. They value making the right connections and finding ways to succeed and maintain their reputable and respectable name in wizarding society. Mizuna is a former broom racer. She won several competitions before abandoning her career and deciding to become a housewife, focusing on her home and family.

It was through Broom Racing that Mizuna Goto and Diogo Souto met. He was a young wizard taking his first steps as an ambassador and Mizuna was in her golden years as a Broom Racer. Their families saw and supported the engagement as a beautiful arrangement that would bring status and honour to both family names, so they had the support of both families from the beginning of their relationship. Diogo and Mizuna had three boys, Osamu Souto, a fifteen years old boy and a fifth year student at Mahoutokoro. Katsuro Souto, our boy and Ryota Souto, the youngest at 7 years old, who like his brothers started his education at Mahoutokoro through the school's day program. Before starting at Mahoutokoro, all the boys were taught through home schooling and their tutors.

First Instance of Magic:
It was one of those moments Katsuro would want to forget and erase from others' memory, but unfortunately that wasn't the magic he had performed by accident. Even as bright as he was, altering others' minds was a too much powerful magic for a young boy like himself.

It was a nice spring day, the sun was bright, the weather was warm and pleasant. The Souto family then decided it would be a perfect day to have lunch outdoors and have a pleasant family moment with good food, refreshing drinks and games!

Katsuro was not born the golden prince he was led to believe, but he was undoubtedly born a competitor and a bad loser. He and his older brother flew through the fields within the family mansion, but unfortunately, Katsuro was losing to Osamu who refused to make his younger brother's work easier.

Frustrated, Katsuro's temper began to rise, he was only 6 years old at the time and he had long forgotten his manners, especially since Osamu was not shy about using less than fair tricks to gain his advantage. It was during one of these tricks that Katsuro lost control of his emotions. But instead of seeing his greatest wish come true - seeing Osamu fall off his broom - it was his own broom that caught fire and he ended up falling into one of the garden's ornamental fountains.

Needless to say, to this day Osamu never misses an opportunity to torment him with this memory!
