Physical Description: Christian Rhys fairly tall for an eleven year old, standing at about 5 feet tall, but looking at his parents, this is probably the only time he's going to be tall in his life because he's likely not growing all that much more. He has deep brown, intelligent eyes that are full of thought constantly. His hair is brown with a sheen of ginger in bright light. It's cut into a rough bowl-cut, clearly done by family. He has a pretty advrage build, he's very active, but does eat well. Christian, while appearing like the advrage 11 year old boy, he does have some female characteristics that he chose to hide as much as is safe because of his identity as a transgender boy.

Mental Description: Christian Rhys is a strong, intelligent, and happy boy. While he does experience some gender dysphoria at times, his parents have been supportive and previous to his acceptance to Hogwarts, he had learned many coping mechanisms and way to better his thinking, so he is rather healthy. Christian has autism, but has never needed assistance or aid in personal life or schooling; sometimes he struggles in conversation and has some social anxiety, because of it, but it has not greatly hindered in making friends.

Biography: Christian Rhys was born to a muggle mother and a wizard father on February 21st, 2014. He is an only child and grew up in a very loving, open home. His mother knew that Christian would inevitably spend a lot of his life involved in the magical world, wanted to make sure he grew up knowing and understanding the muggle world too. He went to public muggle schools, interacted with mostly muggle or half-blood children and families and the like. From a young age he expressed signs of discomfort with his gender assigned to him at birth and while at first his parents believed it was just childish curiosity, around Christian's 9th birthday it became evident that it was more. After lots of discussion and talking to health professionals, Christian came to the understanding that he is a boy. It was hard for the family at first, but soon they came around and it worked out just fine. Christian's parents changed his name in school and informed all necessary parties of the situation. Ever since then he has been able to live happily as a normal young boy with clubs and sports and the excitement when an owl came and delivered him a letter.

First Instance of Magic: When Christian was almost 5, he had asked his parents if he could read one of their adult books, namely Dracula. He was extremely upset when they told him he would have to wait till he was older. They give him a kids book to read as an attempt to pacify him, but he was still upset, so they left him to work out his feelings on his own for a bit. The book was high up on a shelf that the parents had made sure was unable to be climbed, yet after returning to check on Christian, they found him reaching up happily as the book was floating just off the shelf. It fell to the ground in front of him when he noticed them. They decided to just let him have it, even if he couldn't really understand the book until much later.
