Year: 4th
Race: Human
Blood Status: Pureblood

Apperance:
Reducio
Hunter is a good-looking fellow with brown hair and chocolate eyes which he inherited from his mother. He always seems to find himself quite a lady's boys with his charming looks and handsome features, something about the way he carried himself seemed to scream out "trouble maker" which we all know attracts quite a few girls. He's quite tall for his age and stands around 5'9 which he gets from his father. It's safe to assume he'll end up over six feet tall when he stops growing. His closet consists of a more edgy look, he would rather wear a leather jacket than some silly cloak any day.


Personality:
Reducio
At first, people perceive Hunter as more of the standoffish kind, the type of kid who would smoke outside school grounds and cuss out whoever angered him.

Although Hunter might come off as a trouble maker, he isn't quite what you would expect. Hunter can be a very nice person, especially if you get to know him. He loves to listen to music in his free time, you can often catch him sitting with his homework or by a window, bobbing his foot to some song stuck in his head.

Because of his love for music, he likes to play the guitar, jamming to some of the Beatles and other old rock music when he gets stressed. He can be a very loyal friend and a good shoulder to cry on when needed. Let's just say he wouldn't hesitate to try and stop whatever is making you hurt.


History:

Reducio
Hunter was born in the middle of winter in Queens, New York. His parents were two well-known Wizards who worked in the Magical Congress Of The United States of America or MACUSCA. Although his parents were both Wizards, he still grew up in a muggle community with many non-Magical people.

From a very young age, he had realized that there was a difference between him and the kids that lived in his apartment. When he was only nine, he had to handle a very long scolding from his parents after they picked him up from his next-door neighbor's house and Mrs. Donaldson had informed them Hunter had spilled their secrets. Lucky, Mrs. Donaldson had just thought it was a joke but they had to Obliviate her memories none the less.

He went to school like any normal American kid, getting a basic education before Illvermorny took him in.

Hunter's mom is more of a stricter woman, barely letting him have any friends when he was younger in fear of him getting too attached before having to leave to a new state for most of his life. Because of that Hunter often blames his mother for not having a regular childhood most of the other boys seemed to have.

His father, on the other hand, is a gentle giant who always tried to help Hunter feel better when he was down, he was the one who gave Hunter his first musical instrument. Sure, it was a recorder, but it was the first time Hunter seemed to find an outlet to make him happy or calm him down. He and his father are close and send each other letters all the time.

Amongst music, Hunter also enjoyed the idea of traveling, something about seeing a different culture and experiencing what it's like on the other sides of the world appealed to him more than any old boring job did. That's probably why he enjoyed the trip to Illvermorny the most, the ability to see the crowded streets turn into wide-open land.

His first year he was in awe with the school, he had always been around magic sure but the amount of it that was within these walls were breathtaking. Now he was much older and had gotten used to the sight but sometimes he could still find something that amazed him yet again.

He had some friends at Illvermorny, but he wasn't one to have a large friend group, too many people sometimes gave him anxiety although he'll never admit it. Because of that though, his mother bugged him about being social and opening up to people so Hunter might slip in a lie that he has more friends than he really does at home. He isn't proud of it, but he'll do anything to keep his mom off of his back.

He's had chances to date a few girls here and there, but none of them seemed to have worked out. Most of the time it was mutual, but on the rare occasion he called it off because they were obviously only attracted to him because of his looks or because they thought they could "tame the bad boy".

To say his experiences with dating were bad would be an understatement but he was still young, and he had many things he still needed to learn. Now he was a third-year, his time at Illvermorny flying by. It seemed like yesterday he was seeing the school for the first time as a small eleven-year-old.

Approved

It would be somewhat unusual to live in a place as a pureblood with muggles living adjacent, especially considering the traditional separation of muggles and wizards until a little over 5 decades ago. That said, hanging out with muggles would be brief and restrictive more than likely and for good reason -- muggles are very very dangerous and it was important to keep these secrets.

Of course there is something else that is a bit off, something that you will probably come to notice fairly soon. There is not a lot of muggle-borns or half-bloods in the school, yet there is a whole lot of them participating in this pen-pal thing. It is weird being the 'diversity' add-in or at least feeling like that when you are more often among the majority. You will be getting an owl in coming days regarding this.
