PERSONALITY Reducio While teachers back in his primary school would say he is one of the most intelligent kids they’ve taught, he often doubts his own abilities when faced with a challenge, thinking himself to be lesser than his peers. He is friendly and respectful to everyone he comes across, that is until they’ve done something to either him or his friends, whom he can be pretty protective over. Despite this, friends can be pretty hard to come by for Edward, he likes to stick to himself and has a hard time expressing himself to someone he doesn’t already know, often preferring to stay quiet.

LOOKS Reducio Edward “Red” Hawks is your typical English boy, with blonde hair that is usually styled in soft, loose curls, an athletic body from playing football with his friends, a jawline that is gently defined and a straight nose with blue eyes that look like the ocean. He stands at 4’6” which is small for his age, and during his free time, he can often be seen wearing a black hoodie from his favourite artist “Coldplay” along with jogging bottoms and a pair of white Nike Air Max’s

HISTORY

Reducio

Edward was born in Wiltshire, England to Mikael Hawks, a pure-blooded wizard who attended Hogwarts when he was a boy, and a Scottish muggle, Alicia Hawks. He grew up on stories told by his father about their family’s history and the wizarding world but never truly believed them, and was convinced that they were just bedtime tales.

They moved from their cottage in the countryside to the city of York when he was five to be close to mother’s side of the family, which took some time for Edward to adjust properly though the wooded area behind their new house made it feel like he was back in Wiltshire. Shortly after they moved, his mother gave birth to his younger siblings, a pair of twins, Joshua and Emily.

At the age of eight, Edward was playing in the woods when he accidentally used magic, which was when he finally believed his father about all the stories he told him and rushed to tell his parents of what happened. After that, he became more interested in the world of magic, constantly asking his father to tell him stories and it soon became something they bonded over, until he was 11-years-old and received the letter from Hogwarts.

On his eleventh birthday, he was sitting in front of the fire listening to his father tell a tale about his time at Hogwarts when a letter came through the door. He rushed to see what it was, expecting that his own letter would be coming now that he was right age, unable to hide his grin when he saw that it was addressed to him.

FIRST INSTANCE OF MAGIC

Reducio

His first instance of magic happened when he was eight, it was just like any other day for him, Edward was having fun in the woods behind his home in York as he had done a hundred times before, playing a knight of the realm as faced off against evil demons with his wooden stick, climbing over fallen logs with no concern for safety.

A branch snapped loose from one of the trees he bumped against, which he then flinched, closing his eyes and letting out a loud scream as he threw up his arms, though nothing happened. When he opened his eyes again, he noticed the branch hover in the air and drop gently beside him.
