History:

Cane Gordon was born on 27th February 2014, and grew up in Southwater, West Sussex, in a home that balanced magic and muggle life in equal measure. At 11 years old, he’s quiet, thoughtful, and observant. He is the sort of kid who prefers to listen before speaking, and who’s always working something out in his head, whether it’s a puzzle, a story idea, or the next move in one of his made-up games.
He’s lean and a bit athletic, mostly from spending hours outside climbing trees, running through the woods, or just kicking a ball around. He doesn’t care much for fancy clothes, he will chose comfort every time.
Cane attended a muggle primary school just like most kids in his area. His parents believed it was important for him to grow up with a foot in both worlds. He learned his times tables and spelling alongside kids who had no idea magic was real.
His first experience with magic came when he was just seven years old. Frustrated with a drawing that wasn’t turning out right, Cane watched in stunned silence as the pencil lifted off the table and finished the picture by itself. That moment, equal parts terrifying and thrilling, was the beginning of everything. When he told his parents, they confirmed what he already suspected: he was a wizard.
Cane’s family is as blended as it gets. His dad, Albert, is a muggle from Scotland. He is the kind who proudly drinks Irn-Bru, eats haggis, and can name every player on the Montrose Magpies Quidditch team despite not having a drop of magic in him. Albert’s brother, Gregor, is a wizard and former Hufflepuff, and thanks to him, magic has always been on the edges of the Gordon family’s life, even before Cane was born.
Though Albert has no magic of his own, he’s made it a point to be fully involved in that side of the family’s life. He uses a very particular set of glasses to read the Daily Prophet (the moving pictures used to make him dizzy) and listens to Quidditch matches on a magical radio that Cane’s mum “just happened to buy”. It had nothing to do with the fact she was tired of hearing BBC Sussex every morning.
Cane’s mum, Lizzy, is a witch and a Ravenclaw who now works as an Auror in magical law enforcement. Clever, determined, and always two steps ahead, she’s a firm believer that magic doesn’t make anyone better than anyone else. This is a lesson she makes sure Cane and his younger sister, Alyx, understand well. She supports the Holyhead Harpies, a fact that often sparks loud (but playful) arguments in the house whenever her team faces off against Albert and Cane’s beloved Magpies.
Cane looks up to his mum, and although he wouldn’t admit it out loud (yet), part of him dreams of becoming an Auror too. That's if he can manage the grades.
The Gordon home is warm, lived-in, and full of personality. It's a comfortable, medium-sized house that somehow fits both Muggle technology and magical oddities without either feeling out of place.
Weekends might mean a family trip to a museum or a football match, or just as easily a magical event like a live Quidditch game (though it’s always a Harpies match, courtesy of Mum, not that anyone complains too much).
Cane’s little sister, Alyx, has already shown signs of magic, and with her first Hogwarts letter still a couple of years off, Cane’s already excited to be the one to show her the ropes when the time comes.
