CHARACTER BACKGROUND:
Felix was born in Belfast, Ireland, to Albert Smith, a pureblood, and Alyssa Mendoza-Smith, a Muggle-born. His parents moved to Belfast after they were able to gather enough money to live together. Both of them came from a close-knitted family, which is why it was hard for them to move-out, but they knew it was necessary for their own growth and the growth in their relationship.

He has one younger sibling, Tricia Smith, who is 7. He has a happy family life, enjoying both the wizarding world and the muggle world. His mother, Alyssa would most of the time resort to a more muggle life in their house despite being able to use magic as a Muggle-born. At first, Albert, his father, was not so tolerant of how Alyssa would always recommend enjoying the life of a muggle, but eventually, and surprisingly, Albert would always resort to the simplicity of the muggle life. Being a pureblood in his entire life, he never thought that the muggle life would be so simple yet there was something majestic about it. Whenever Albert cooks food, he always uses the precision of his hands rather than just using a spell to make the food for him, but he eventually multiplies it using a spell.

One of the most peculiar things at home that he saw was whenever his father would alter his appearance, such as a simple reconstruction of his face, changing hair color, or eye color. He found it amazing, and he thought that maybe his father had undergone surgery. When Felix approached his father, much to his father’s excitement, he explained the history of his lineage to Felix. Albert explained Felix that he is a metamorphmagi who can change the appearance and has been doing it since he was young.

Alyssa, Felix’s mother, taught him basic life skills such as cooking, cleaning, and organizing. At first, Felix was frustrated and argued why not use magic to do all of those things, but his mother left him with a message that there are times where magic will be equal to human skill. This was confusing to Felix because he always thought that magic was always superior to manual human skill, but when he tried to do things manually while his mother cast a spell to do the same thing, he noticed that he was on-par or sometimes, better compared to the spell casted and this made him value learning life skills even more.

He has a close relationship with her younger sibling, Tricia, whom he always adores. He would always play with her, help her, and teach her some of the things that their parents taught him. He would always find a way to make those lessons easy for Tricia to understand. There are times when the siblings would fight or argue, but Felix’s patience and understanding would always that one thing that would stop their arguments. He would always stand up for her sister, and vowed to always protect her and treat her his baby sister always.

The first time Felix encountered magic was when he wanted to get snacks from a glass cupboard. He wanted to eat the licorice so bad he tried to unlock the cupboard to no avail. Once he tried so many times and to no avail, he accidentally cast wandless magic that broke the glass. Unfortunately for him, the cupboard was enchanted with a hex. So, when he finally opened the cupboard, the hex protection magic backfired on him, hence creating a scar on his face, which is now his most distinctive feature.
