Name: Arslan Frost

Age: 15

School Year: 4th

House: Thunderbird

Race: Human

Blood Status: Wizard-born

Appearance: Spared from inheriting most of his father’s features, Arslan sports a full head of poofy, deep brown curls that frame his face in a barely containable mess. His skin is of a warm, tan color, only a few shades lighter than his mother’s and his eyes are a warm, cinnamon brown. He isn’t very tall for his age, only 5 foot 2 inches. His constant running around in the woods and exploring gave him a lean physique that he is careful to retain.

Personality: Arslan is a quiet, kind individual that prefers the solitude of the woods by his house instead of loud gaggles of people. He cherishes the company nature provides, although will occasionally be found trying to appease his mother by meeting up with a few friends and exploring nearby locations. While he is interested in history and old knowledge, he is not a friend of libraries and books, his attention constantly flitting from one thing to the next. When at school, he and his friends can often be found outside on school grounds where Arslan will laze around in the sun like a content cat and listen to one of his friends read their school books to the rest of the group.

Attire: When not in school, Arslan will often favour comfortable clothing. Though their colors will often consist of earthy tones, they will almost always be partially covered by the large, tacky, magenta shawl that Arslan inherited from his great-grandmother. During warm, dry days, Arslan will often forego footwear entirely, preferring to walk on bare feet. He is very partial to gold jewelry but rarely actually can be bothered to wear any.
His best subjects are History, Care of Magical Creatures and Charms. While he is very interested in Astronomy as well, he unfortunately falls asleep during these late hours quite regularly.

History: Born to a family of natural busibodies, Arslan was often left in the care of the family’s house elf where he would often attempt to trick the poor creature to escape into the nearby woods to adventure around. It was less of an attempt to break free from his father’s well-meaning but rather strict set of rules but rather to try and find some adventure. Who knew, maybe there was buried treasure or a long forgotten elven civilisation to be found!
This sense of wonder and his thirst for adventure never dimmed in the slightest as Arslan grew older and began his education at Ilvernmory. Instead, he found like-minded individuals in the house of Thunderbird. Three of them, he’d call good friends by the end of his first year and together, the quartet (so lovingly dubbed the ‘Quartet of Chaos by some of their teachers) would try their best to not only find adventure but also drive all of their parents to near-insanity in the progress.
Arslan is fluent in both English and German, the latter being due to the fact that his father’s family originally came from Germany fled during Grindelwald’s reign of terror. To confuse people and keep them from taking his notes, Arslan usually writes his notes in a convoluted mess of both German and English. It has, however, happened that he handed in homework written in a similar matter, resulting in him either having to do extra work and redo them or receiving a failing grade.

A wizard-born, with wizarding blood running through his veins for at least a generation; there would be a difference between German wizards and American wizards, a difference that Arslan would likely only hear about. While there is a separation of wizards and muggles also in the UK, it is an elective rather than an enforced choice. In America, it was a matter of legality (as well as culture as most people are law-abiding). It might be a point of fascination that mixed-heritage wizards and first generation wizards are in more common attendance at Hogwarts. 

You will be getting an owl in the coming days with a secret among the wizard borns and purebloods.
