Alfredo Britto
Name: Alfredo Britto
Age: 12
School Year: 2nd year
House: Wampus
Race: Human
Blood Status: Muggle-born
Patronus: N/A
Parents: Lucia Bitto(mother), Adelaide Bitto (Father)
Grandparents (Father’s side): (Grandfather) Simáo Bitto (Grandmother) Gláucia Bitto
Appearance:
Blond flat hair with sliver like eyes but it’s far bluer. He loves to wear scarfs since for one Christmas his closest friend Arthur Kirkstone gave it as a present which made him love scarfs ever since. His skin is a far deeper shade than pale since his parents were both born in Portugal as he was as well. He seems to take care of his skin as it is soft but his hands are rough due to his strange interest in gardening.
Interests:
Gardening, plants just seem so fascinating to watch and help out with the affection of a human. Also, a cat would be helpful to chase away the evil critter that destroy plants (slugs).
Ways in which to make Arthur Kirkstone less secretive- a mission he took to turn now into a confused interest since there was no background to how he became this way.
Personality:
A very proud, loud young man and the courage to tackle the more stubborn and colder student to be friends with. His proudness comes from the fact he had only noticed his accidental magic spurts after his parents took him to live in America and just after his Best friend Arthur showed him some with a duplication of sweets. He is loud and with that obnoxious as he wants to live life to the fullest, which while that makes him admirable it also him very well a bit unaware that others may not be that way. His courage he would tell you comes from all the strength it took to help others but truly his mother’s storytelling had given him the idea of what it must take to be a good true person.
History:
Born in 2007, to a ‘muggle born’ family in the sweet city of Porto. It is Portugal's second-largest city and the heart of Portugal’s industrial north. It is also where a lot of wizards and witches go to live if they feel like staying in Britain was too much for their liking. His parents loved him for his sweet attitude although he was often at cause of trouble like where he accidentally shattered a vase, he had promised he had not touched it, had to go with no sweets for the week. He went to school as a normal muggle but never really noticed anything odd about himself, well perhaps his rather peculiar interest in cats. He had funny little dreams where he would turn into a cat and stroll around having the time of his life. Of course, he never told anyone, because how embarrassing would that be!
When he was seven however, his parents came by surprise telling him that they would be moving to London as his father found himself with a new job over the seas which would be very successful if he took the offer. It was a difficult move for the whole family, it was almost too hard as they would be leaving a place that meant so much to them but they were all courageous taking a leap of faith. They found a quaint house that was easy for his father to get to work by train and his mother turned it into something out of a fairy-tale. However, the move did knock Alfredo a little too much and he started to have constant panics that he would never be able to have decent enough English even though his father spoke it fluently. How would he find friends in the primary school he had newly joined?
The first day he had joined, he was welcomed really well but no one seemed to really want to be his friend since they had other friendship groups. It was until a strange young boy who sat alone, away from the others caught his attention one lunchtime. So, he went up and tried to get to know him, which was not a success. However, that was the start of his strong friendship with this boy, Arthur Kirkstone. He was strange to Alfredo at first, scared to share his secrets or wanting to hear his own. It took time, but he began to trust him more until they were close enough for Arthur to admit he was the first best friend he probably will ever have. He did laugh saying that with his charming attitude he’d be able to get all the friends he would. Shaking his head, he had smiled and confirmed he was just glad he had got to know him.
They became a duo, a strong bond that somehow continued to grow. He eventually found out about Arthur being a wizard when he was complaining about not having enough sweets but handing one to Arthur it multiplied into two. He found the whole idea hilarious, and teased Arthur about having to find a familiar and speak in a very husky tone. Although he teased him, he was sad that it meant later he would have to leave him to go to a magical school. It made him feel like a string had just been broken between the two of them. If there was anyone that he would trust, Arthur would be at the top of the list and that meant suddenly a lot to him. Later that day he had went home and sat down sulky during dinner. What came next was what would change his attitude to life forever.
His father had announced that they would be moving to America, as his job was offering a transfer for him. This made Alfredo feel confused at first but suddenly he grew angry and the dinner table suddenly started to wobble before collapsing like jelly. His parents were completely shocked and started to yell at him asking if he had done this. He was far too shock, yelling a cry he ‘was going to ruin his friendship’ and ran to his room with fear pulsing his heart. He eventually calmed down, was there even a wizarding school in America? He had so many questions, and no one to tell him the answer. Until a hour later, a knock at his door his mother came in, she gave him a little happy smile. She told him that his Grandmother on his father’s side Gláucia Bitto was a witch that went to a school in America called Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After she had told him he started to cough out crying that his friend who was also magical. She tried to comfort him saying he could always owl him. He somehow didn’t know if he had the courage to do so, so the day he left Primary he stopped talking to Arthur. Knowing fully well that he would become worse when he figured out why he didn’t contact him for a year.
When he had moved to America, it was the most frightening experience he could admit, he had to face the fact that he was so far from the places he called home he wouldn’t bare too think of them anymore. His father helps him calm by being that amazing to getting him a kitten he decided to call Bearclaws since it had the colour of an American bear, it remined him of Arthur whose favourite animal was a bear. A year later he got accepted to Ilvermorny and found himself trying to understand the world of the wizarding one by going down to a place similar to Arthur’s Diagon Ally and getting a lot of books. He was almost to scared to go and look about but he had to once he got accepted in need of magical equipment.

I did have to strike through a small tidbit because it gave your player character the ability to duplicate sweets because that is not a skill that your player character would have had.
I have noticed pretty much an obsession with your character (Arthur) in this one. While there is nothing stopping you from having an NPC that is interested in your character (for you to have development often there is some crossing over) make sure that you get the most out of the NPC. Use the NPC to further your character's story but also to interface with more players so you the writer can have a more diverse and interesting experience.
Because your character really had a primarily muggle experience until shortly before going to school at Ilvermorny, you would not be as aware of the separation laws, their subsequent repeals, etc. But of note would be the fact that you have not been home much since coming to Ilvermorny. It is not that anyone tells you that you cannot go home, but when it is time to go on break there are some awesome opportunities that your NPC would be crazy to pass up. Extra credit, sleep overs, summer camps, trips to neat magical places muggle families know little about. All of this "in an attempt to further educate those with muggle upbringings" about the wizard world. This fact being an interesting point of discussion in letters between your student and the Hogwarts student you are paired with.
As a preemptive answer to the presumed question: can I owl my own student? Yes, but the intention is to also attempt to communicate and converse with other players so try to make time for whoever you get paired up with as well so both of you can have a full experience.
