Full Description

Fearghal Akehurst is short for his age with curly, blond hair that covers his ears and hangs down in front of his eyes. He wears large, circular glasses that practically cover his face, and the lenses are thick and magnify his brown eyes, making them look almost inhumanly large. In the light, his eyes tinge with an amber color due to the fact that he's a dhampir. When not in school robes, he tends to dress very well and put-together in lots of sweaters and button downs.

As small children, Fearghal and his younger brother Tadhg spent far more time with nannies and governesses than with their parents. Deirdre and Darragh Akehurst were far too busy rubbing elbows with other pureblood families to tend to their own children, and this proved to be their downfall when Fearghal was attacked by a vampire at the age of six.

From that point on, there were no more governesses in the Akehurst home, as the family blamed Nanny Cara, who had been with Fearghal since he was born, for the attack. The only people aside from Fearghal’s parents who ever looked after him were the tutors that came in a few times a week to educate him.

Despite his condition, after the attack and onwards, Fearghal lived an easy life full of all the luxuries the world has to offer. Since they felt guilty for what had happened, his parents saw fit to dote on Fearghal, and they provided him with everything his little heart could desire. This included taking trips all around the world to visit friends, meaning other pureblood families. Fearghal and Tadhg were always in tow, and they got to see wonders that not many children–not even many adults–get to experience.

When his Hogwarts letter came, his entire family was over the moon, though his parents were terrified at the thought of Fearghal being so far away from them. But, they understood the importance of a proper wizard education, so even though it was hard, they packed up Fearghal’s belongings, took him to King’s Cross Station, and wished him well on his journey.

Fearghal was equally nervous to be away from his parents, having practically never been out of eyesight from them for many years. But at the same time, he was excited to begin his journey as a wizard and to see what adventures would lay in store for him.

Very early on, Fearghal showed signs of magic. But the very first instance was when he was three years old and desperately wanted a chocolate chip cookie from the cookie jar that sat on the top shelf of the cupboard. His parents and nanny simply refused to get him one, so he sat and began pouting on the floor of the pantry. As he sat and cried, the cookie jar seemed to pick itself up and levitate straight off the shelf! And when his nanny realized that the tantrum had ended, she arrived to find an empty cookie jar next to a smiling, no longer crying Fearghal. Though his first instance was nothing all that impressive, his parents absolutely raved over Fearghal's magic use and even now, they'll tell and re-tell the story at dinner parties. How proud they are of their little boy.

Full Description

So far in his life, Fearghal hasn't had to do anything for himself. His parents and nannies made sure that he never had to lift a finger and gave him just about anything he could ever want. Because of this, Fearghal gets upset very easily and will cry and throw tantrums the moment something doesn't go his way or if he has to work in order to obtain anything.
