Physical Description: Unfortunately, Aloysius is not built for physical activity in the slightest, courtesy of his bookworm and study-holic lifestyle. Despite this fact, he stands at around 150 cm, or 4’11”, with black hair, pale skin, and is still somewhat slim. His sister’s favourite feature of his as he grew up would definitely be his chubby cheeks, though.

Mental Description: Aloysius’ personality can be described simply with two extremes: hard-working and reckless. His drive to study and learn is shockingly consistent, and his parents often had to force him out of his room to go outside and do ‘normal kid things’. That said, if someone ever asked him to demonstrate something he’d just learned, chances are something would blow up (think of the mentos and cola experiment… yeah….). Aloysius is typically reserved, mostly lingering on the fringes of any social gathering. But when poked, Aloysius can be very sociable and hold a good conversation.

Biography: Aloysius Hải Bình Nguyễn Go (or, simply, Aloysius) was born on February 14th, 2014 to Jasver Arren Go and Nguyễn Linh Hà in North Shore Hospital. Aloysius has an older sister named Helena Minh Phượng Nguyễn Go, their age gap being a whopping nine years. Despite this, Aloysius only has fond memories of his sister; walking to school together in the morning and afternoon, stopping by the dairy for a sweet treat almost every day, getting the window seat on the bus every single time.

The family lives a comfortable life in Northcote, Auckland with a mostly Muggle lifestyle. With a Muggle father and Half-blood mother (who had been forced to retire early after an injury on the job as an auror), it was an easier and calmer lifestyle. But it was hard to truly ignore their magical heritage when Helena first presented, then Aloysius a few years after. It was harder when Helena disappeared for most of the year to the Isle of Divination, especially during the months where most Kiwi kids were on holiday. But it wasn’t something they resented. Aloysius enjoyed listening to stories Helena and their mother had to share of her clan life, the different kinds of magic one could wield, the plants and animals they could encounter. It made him excited for his own magical journey.

They would visit Vietnam and Philippines every other year for at least a month—two, if they could stretch it out that long with the school holidays. Two weeks for Vietnam and two weeks for Philippines. It was mostly to visit family and be spoiled by grandparents, though Helena would ‘shop ‘til [she] dropped’ quite a bit during these vacations.

When Aloysius was nine, Helena left the home. No warning. Only a small note that said she was sorry for leaving him and that she needed to go find herself. Their parents were distraught at first, and their mom even left for a few weeks. But eventually, they accepted it and continued with their lives.

First Instance of Magic: Aloysius’ first instance of magic happened at the age of eight, a little later than they expected, but at least it happened. He was walking down the staircase of their family home, a little faster than he should’ve, when his foot missed a step. Panicked, he tried to grab the railing but missed by just a centimetre. He closed his eyes, preparing for the pain. But instead of possibly injuring himself the rest of the way down, it was as if the stairs smoothed out and he slid down until he landed on the next floor, unharmed.
