Physical Description: River is only 4’9 and has already heard that he’ll be as tall and strong as his father. He has brown eyes like his father, he smiles like his father, he even has freckles in the same exact places just like his father. He isn’t that weak—he likes to say he’s stronger than others—but he’s okay physically, no health issues in sight.

Mental Description: He’s a kind soul even if at times he can be very gullible, believing in certain things people say towards him. He isn’t shy in the slightest, he’d run up to anyone in a public place, ignoring if it’s rude to do so. He’s clumsy, however, which unfortunately is paired with the fact he is quite immature— he cannot be serious, even if you told him to do so, he finds it difficult. He is horrible with social cues, as he was diagnosed with autism at the age of 3, which also affected his way of speech— his special interest is animals, he’ll always infodump about them.

Biography: He was adopted by two men named Johnny Marcus and Calvin Shipman, who fell in love during their final year at Hogwarts. His birth parents were wizards—they were friends with his adoptive ones, he was told— but an accident occurred which caused them to pass away, Johnny told him vaguely the details, he was told not to pry. He was adopted at the age of 3, but Johnny and Calvin filled that void with their love. He grew up with a dog named Biscuit and a cat named nutmeg, who he also heavily loves. Life has been really good to him— no issues at all so far.

First Instance of Magic: He doesn’t remember it as well as he should, but it occurred on his 6th birthday. His fathers weren’t paying attention—and the window was opened— he can’t recall how he even fell, but he does remember how the wet grass felt that day and how he didn’t feel any pain. His fathers screamed when he fell and tried to catch him but was far too late— their surprised looks weren’t forgettable either, he noted, and every concerned question they kept asking him.
