[quote]Name: Ethan Ramond Van-Rensselaer
School: Castelobruxo
Year: 2nd
Status: Pureblood
Appearance: Ethan has medium-length black hair with green eyes; he is a near copy of his father; much to the displeasure of his mother. His hair was always brushed, something he made sure of, even sneaking to the restroom to comb it down. He tried to keep his outfits perfect; even the one he was forced to wear during his classes.
Personality: Ethan was a quiet kid, though in his mind he was thinking a mile a minute. He was used to either having his friends to fill the void with their own chatter or the silence of his home and his grandparents. Ethan spent a lot of time in the library and always brought a smile to his own face remembering facts about spells when in class; much to the confusion of others who couldn’t figure out what about learning would make him happy.
History:
First Magic: Ethan’s first act of magic was small, much to the sadness of his father. Where his father was hoping for something big, to showcase magical excellence, Ethan’s magic first showed itself when he closed a curtain while sitting on an armchair far away from it. He had just wanted the sun out of his eye as he was reading, he even thanked his dad for moving it for him, unaware of what he had done.

History:
Reducio
Ethan was a pureblood made of two purebloods that came from different parts of the world; his father was born in France though he was moved to Brazil at an early age, while his mother made her home in America until she was in her early twenties. She was sent to further her education and instead settled with Ethan’s father soon after she moved. Ethan’s father was sent away from his home soon after the last war, their desperate attempt to keep an heir just in case things didn’t go as planned, he was raised there instead of returning, the French purebloods moving as soon as they could.
The two married quickly, a sloppy wedding made from ideas coming together between two young adults driven by hormones and fire whiskey. It was only 6 months after their quick marriage that Ethan was born, and only a year after that to let both adults know that they didn’t want to remain together, but for their son they would. Ethan grew up in a home full of dead dreams. His mother wished to continue her education but how was she when she had a child to take care of? His father tried to bold with him, but he was just a businessman and unless he was talking to his son about his work, he didn’t know what to speak about.
Ethan learned mostly from his books. His father was raised going through the Castelobruxo school, and even after his mother tried to get him to do his schooling through the American school system (sending him to his grandparents before he was sent back after his first year), he was soon enrolled like his father.
Ethan switched over to Castelobruxo because of a disagreement between his parents more than anything. His mother wanted him to stay in America, going through the same halls she did; though his father wanted him to have the same upbringing as the wizards he would one day work with; hoping he would stay living in his parents' manor well into his adult years.

Ability App Perfectionist:
ReducioEthan was a perfectionist more in the need to have something to showcase to his mother than anything more. He felt the need to show her that he was worth the time she took raising him, that her time wasn’t wasted as she sat at the house instead of in a classroom herself. He worked restlessly to perfect the spells he was taught for each of their fire calls when he was away in America, and when he came back home, he would tell her all about how hard he was working in school; convincing her to quiz him through the summer leading up to his second year. He liked the small smiles she would have when he got the questions right; though the frowns when he got them wrong would leave the feeling of a rock in his stomach even after they were done, even if she tried to hide them from him. Nights after those calls were spent studying until he fell asleep in the common room, his friends finding him there and helping him get ready for the day ahead of him, even as he yawned telling them he was fine.
The pureblood’s studying was time-consuming, to say the least, he spent hours alone just pouring over book after book about each spell. It was fun to learn the history of the spells they use every day, and he would even get lost in text reading many times while studying. His few American friends would usually sit by him as he read, talking to each other as they waited for him to pop his head up and tell them another interesting fact about the spells they didn’t think two thoughts about after class.
Ethan had plenty of practice with the spells too, dueling with his friends as they prepped to duel for their school. Ethan decided to forgo the team, too scared to be hit just yet as he knew that he needed for than a year to be comfortable in front of someone’s wand who wasn’t just playing with him. He was getting good at his aim, even making a game of it with his friends as they raced around shooting spells at each other; he thought he might even be good enough to join the team here at his new school… maybe... Overall, between his self-study and the games he played with his friends, he figured he was above average with his casting skills.
