Appearance: Jonathan loves the way he looks. His hair depending on the lighting (or cleanliness) can look anywhere from an ash blond or almond brown, to a chocolate brown. His eyes are usually more blue but when he's angry they do tend to be more on the green side. He's about average for height group but a bit on the slimmer side, which he doesn't mind as he's able to squirm his way into places or out of them.

Personality: Jonathan is a quiet unassuming person with a generally shy nature. He loves to be regaled with stories from not only the adults of the village but from family and their friends as well. He's friendly and honest with a very kind heart. However there is steel and determination in him as well. Isn't quick with his words and knows he's not the most brilliant around but does think things through. Sometimes he comes off as slow due to his working over a problem and failing to answer until much later. Can chat for hours with his friends over things they share in common.

History: Jonathan Eamon Kelley was born in Limerick Ireland to Sean Alistair Kelley and Maire Quinn-Kelley. He is the eldest of two children. His brother, Kiernan, is younger by 5 years and has much more of an outgoing personality. Their paternal grandmother, Betha, lives with them and routinely takes the boys out to teach them in magical lore or history about the island they live on. Before receiving his Hogwarts letter Jonathan attended Scoil Mháthair Dé primary school. Growing up listening to his mother play the violin and teach others, Jonathan had always believed that was magic. He'd grown up with stories involving all sorts of tales of magic be it for good or bad and the consequences of such powers or hastily made bargains and wishes. He'd not really known that his own family was descended from those that possessed such skills until he'd shown the ability himself. Then some fuzzy memories that he'd dismissed as childish fancy stood out a bit more prominent once he got to thinking about them. He'd shown his first bout of 'wish magic' as his grandmother called it and 'accidental magic' as others put it, when he was about six years old around the time Kiernan was born. Jonathan tired of his baby brother's constant crying had wished that he could have some quiet! Unintentionally he'd soundproofed his room so he wouldn't have to hear the baby and could play in peace. He and his family had only known what he'd done when he hadn't responded to their summons. Both of his parents had been proud of him as had his grandmother. That was when he'd been sat down and told their family we peppered with those that came from magical lineage somewhere in the tree. Jonathan had been overjoyed when he'd received his letter to Hogwarts.
