backstory ;

Roy Tjin-A-Wing was born in rural Suriname; his parents had immigrated from the Canton province to Suriname amongst a wave of Chinese immigrants, and had given birth to their son while working on a plantation. The rural areas were all he knew of Suriname until he migrated to the city of Paramaribo in search of a life more fulfilling. And for a fleeting while, that was what he found. In urban Paramaribo, Roy met Saskia Ramlakhan, a native Surinamese, and thus commenced the typical love story. Though life in the urban areas was far from the neoliberalist dream that Roy had initially reached for, Saskia made for more than enough fulfillment. Soon after, head over heels for the girl, Roy proposed, and she, who yearned for him equally as much, accepted. And what a dream couple they made; their first son, Kiran, was born, and then another shortly after: Luuk. A third son, Etiënne, followed.

A perfect story, but the perfection was ephemeral. Four years after Etiënne blessed the household, the uncorrupted dream shattered. Luuk Tjin-A-Wing was eight years old when screams of rage emanated from the living room of their run-down house. What his mother, Saskia, told her husband then to evoke such a reaction was — prior to that day — unbeknownst to Luuk as well: she was a witch. Luuk had spent the early days of his childhood in local Muggle school, and was completely ignorant to any magic around him that existed. His father was the same — it seemed his wife's deception, or charm, had worked for too long. Perhaps she had hoped he loved her enough to accept the truth, or she had intentionally deceived him to undermine his trust. Whether her intention was genuine or not, Roy's reaction to his wife's long-withheld pronouncement was one of outrage.

Thus commenced the fragmented story.

Nothing was the same after that fateful day. The eight year old boy watched that night as his mother apparated away from the house — seemingly disappeared into thin air, from his perception. He never saw her again. To this day, he remains unsure of the fate of his mother. Though, that wasn't to say that he didn't love her. Luuk had loved his mother very much, and to his understanding, she had loved him, too. Saskia had always been the kinder one out of the couple, a free-spirited artist who naturally attracted children to her side with that smile that radiated so much warmth. The young boy failed to comprehend why his sweet, sweet mother had left them,

and to this day, he still holds a certain degree of affinity for the woman.

His father, Roy, however, had always been short-tempered, and his impulsivities only deteriotated after that day. Left loverless and trapped in a factory job that he detested, he quit his job to loiter within the house, resorting to quick jobs that skim the edges of the law. At home, he did little more than provide the basic sustenance for his sons, and even then, it was lackluster, for he lacked the financial and emotional capacity to care. Luuk would frequently find his father sprawled on the torn couch with a cheap bottle of rum clasped in his hands, liquid staining the man's shirt.

It was after Luuk's first instance of magic — after neighbours reported a loud crash — that the Surinamese Ministry of Social Affairs and Housing intervened to place Luuk and his brothers in foster homes. Different foster homes. And abruptly, just like his mother, Kiran and Etiënne vanished from his life. His time at the foster home was not unpleasant, a kind young couple having taken him in, but even now, he holds resentment towards officials for the separation.

Time came for Castelobruxo; the boy was of course astonished to find that there was an educational institution for people like him — for people like his mother. The school, the students, the magic, the lush rainforest — it was all a welcome escape, though he struggled with the language. Fluent in Cantonese, Surinamese Dutch, and Sranan Tongo, his Portuguese was broken at best, sentences formed in shattered fragments. Despite this barrier, the boy remained determined to learn magic to the best of his abilities. Perhaps with it, he could one day locate his mother and brothers.

first instance of magic ;

It was shortly after the day it had happened. His father was in a particularly irritable mood. He was usually rendered lethargic by the drink in his hand, but this particular day, he was placed in a standing position, eyes burning with a sort of passion only anger gave rise to. His tempestuous speech was directed toward Luuk, spoken in slurred Cantonese, "點解你阿媽冇帶埋你哋三個衰仔走?" (why didn't your mother bring the three of you nasty children with her?) The man had stopped speaking the Surinamese languages.

If it were any other day, Luuk would have turned tail to run. On this day, however, what his father said provoked a rare brewing rage within him. The bottle held in his father's hand shattered abruptly. Roy had ruled it an accident, but deep down, the man knew — despite being intoxicated — that his son was one of them.

appearance ;

Standing at 4’9” (144.78 cm), Luuk is considered to be rather short. His height, combined with his slender figure, renders him quite nimble. He takes a somewhat unassuming visage, walnut curls framing a face so often controlled yet paradoxically warped by expression. His cheeks become dimpled, but only if he deems you worthy of his rare smile. His perceptive almond-shaped eyes that are constantly flashing from side to side — a dark, near-black void speckled with flecks of burnt umber — betray his Asian ancestry.

mentality ;

Deception. Luuk Tjin-A-Wing is a liar, a deceiver. One would think that after the ordeal that emerged from his mother's lie, he would have learnt his lesson. On the contrary, lying became something of a defense mechanism; telling the truth leads to vulnerabilities, leads to separation. He remains closed, guarding himself from the threat of somebody dear uncovering who he really is. He maintains a stoic, deceitful exterior, but if one leans close enough, one would glimpse through the cracks a heart so big, so kind. In truth, Luuk cares; when he loves, he loves with all his might, but he runs from that love like he runs from everything else. To stay in one place for too long, to care for too long, is to become fragile. Run away from the big problems; run away from these confines; run away from attachment — and only then can one survive.
