First Impression

Reducio

He comes off as cold and calculating, often sounding rude. He doesn’t mean to and often feels bad about the way he talks to people later. His first impression often leads people to believe he is a stereotypical pureblood.

Acquaintances

Reducio

Always kind and respectful he will often stay quiet unless spoken to first. Unless you give him a reason he will remain this way. Once upset though he will speak out.

Friends

Reducio

Alexander doesn’t have many people he considers a friend so he is extremely loyal. He often has friends that have very mismatched personalities. He is absolutely the dad friend of his group but if he has the money will spoil the friends he is closest to. With that being said he doesn’t particularly care for people who are rude to others for things they can not change. Will absolutely duel someone if they bully his friends.

Family

Reducio

His family is very special to him. He won’t mention them unless you are very close to him but when he does it is mostly praise besides some complaint about their dislike of muggles. Towards his family he is very bright and cheerful, often telling stories of his adventures on the family estate or at school. He does his best to show his appreciation, often using handmade gifts. He sends letters home daily. He is much closer to his mother than his father as his father is typically busy with work. He spends time in the his mothers drawing room every chance he gets, often taking muggle books from his personal collection with him to read while she does her own thing.

On His Own

Reducio

Often very introspective and very self aware. He will commonly be upset with himself over very small actions and mistakes. He is always looking for things he can improve about himself. He writes in a leatherbound journal once a week. The journal entries are often several pages long and have very detailed descriptions of his important thoughts and experiences throughout the week. If something major happens he will write about it that day instead of at the end of the week.

Other Info

Reducio

Alexander was born into a pureblood family. His father, James Knights, and mother, Amelia Knights, were both graduates of Slytherin house. Both families had majority Slytherin so it was well known Alexander would be going to Slytherin as well. Both families were also very wealthy as most pureblood families are. His father is now head of the house.

Growing up he lived in his family's main estate with 3 house elves, his mother and his father. He would often take walks in the garden and at first tried to befriend the animals. His first few years of life were uneventful. After his fourth birthday he began attacking his pureblood training. This taught him everything he needed to know about wizard society as well as several talents and ways to pass time.

As Alex did not show any signs of magic until he was ten his family often worried if he was a squib or not. Turns out Alex just didn't have any reason to use his magic yet. He would often wander through the gardens looking for small animals he could befriend.

Alexander would often visit his cousin Kyle. they would go exploring in the muggle town that Kyle lived in with his mother and father. At first their wanderings stayed to Kyles neighborhood but it eventually spanned further after they both turned seven. They started to regularly attend the library. One of the first few times they ventured to the library Kyle had his other cousin emery meet them there in the kids section. After a year Alexander started sneaking out to visit Kyle and Emery in the library. The house elves caught him in the act as one was in charge of watching him when his parents were otherwise occupied. He proceeded to blackmail the elf into cooperating so that he could leave without having to worry about his parents too much. The trio became inseparable when they were around one another.

At ten Alexander's mother and father became aware of his wanderings into town. They banned him from returning or talking to his cousin or Emery. At this point Alex knew a little about muggle things such as books, music, and general culture from listening to his friends talk. Granted he did not understand the majority of it. He knew of electricity and technology and how to google things, but he couldn't explain how any of it worked.

After Alex's muggle town ban he remained at home unless going out with his parents where he read many books from the family library. He also continued his pureblood teachings where he learned to play wizard's chess, learnt strategies about dueling, and perfected his writing.

First Instance Of Magic

Reducio

His first instance of magic was when he was ten. His foot got caught on the window sill of his third story bedroom as he was trying to sneak out to see his friends Kyle and Emery. He fell from the window and about three feet from the ground stopped then slowly landed. In his excitement he told his parents who were very displeased that he was sneaking out to visit muggles and banned him from seeing them. They used the house elf to enforce this.
