Silas Vance | 1st Year, Slytherin

Full Name: Silas Vance

✦ ────────────────────────── ✦


Character Backstory: His life was incredibly normal, he did well in muggle schools, and seemed to have a decent amount of friends. However he never found interest in extra curricular activities. If he wasn't studying in class he was studying in a library. His parents were kind enough, both relatively quite like himself.
Beyond the handful of friends he had over the years he often found himself alone with his head in a book, but this never discomforted him. In fact he found it quite comfortable. This of course is not to say he does not enjoy the company of others, quite the opposite actually. He particularly opens up when speaking of plants or animals. As a muggle born, he was fascinated with plant and animal life. While he wasn't always liked by them (mostly due to his nervousness) he was profoundly interested in them. General caretaking of bearded dragons and there breeding tenancies? Not only could he tell you everything you need to know in the matter he would tell you the gender of the reptiles with a simple flashlight. He either knew exactly the answer or had a book or way to find that answer. You need odd breeding habits of a Indonesian animal? He either knew exactly the answer or had a book or way to find that answer. While he typically preferred reptiles he by no means only looked at them. In truth, his favorite animals were the ones that interacted with plants he found interesting. It became a interesting matter to investigate on. Furthermore, he often would find himself out of his shell when given the opportunity to speak or even engage with animals not allowing fear to cloud his opportunity to do something he enjoys.

First Instance of Magic: His first of accidental magic happened at his seventh birthday. This particularly birthdays themes were nights and dragons. He was dressed as a knight, and played at sparing with his closer friends. One of which was a bit of a trouble maker running around with a lighter exclaiming it's his dragon flame (much at the protest of his mother). While hiding in the make shift castle they made he accidentally broke his friends you that evidently was on the floor. Panicked by this he began to try to put it back together when suddenly a light flame sprung into his night cloak as he tossed it into the yard off of his back. Despite the cloak being quite special to him as his mother helped him make it all he could think about was the broken toy, which in the end his friend forgot he even had.

As for the cloak, his friend dressed as a dragon ended up getting blamed for it burning despite adamantly denying it.
