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.

SILAS VANCE — RELATIONS & SOCIAL DOSSIER
"Observation precedes alliance. Value is proven, not promised."
"Observation precedes alliance. Value is proven, not promised."
This is currently fully up to date! I will do my best to update this as his opinion of people change.
◆ TIER I: INNER CIRCLE & TRUSTED ALLIES ◆
✦ ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦
- Character Name: Millicent Barnes | House: Hufflepuff | Year:1
Dynamic: Friends
First Met: A somewhat un-orderly study session
Silas's Assessment: Quite the character this one is, the excited type which in truth he quite enjoys. During there conversation she was quite engaged which brought out quite a bit of courage in him to speak up. She did however make him feel impressive in a sense, and as a result built up his confidence quite a bit. Her readiness to defend him, he found quite amusing.
Current Standing: Liked (He will go out of his way to speak to them if he sees them)
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Chidera Amayo | House: Ravenclaw| Year: 1
Dynamic: Budding Friendship (From his perspective)
First Met: Something To Do
Silas's Assessment: He finds himself feeling particularly calm around her, all and all he enjoys her company and to make it even cooler they met while watching magic beasts! How cool is that. It also definitely helps that she knows of the muggle world. This is fresh and new to them both and thats comforting in its own way.
Current Standing: Well Liked (He will occasionally look for her if they have not spoke in awhile, beyond that he naturally will communicate with them as often as he sees her.)
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦
◆ TIER II: ACQUAINTANCES & NEUTRAL PEERS ◆
- Character Name: Taliesin Annwyn | House: Slytherin| Year: 2
Dynamic: Well liked
First Met: Riveting Reading
Silas's Assessment: Overall he finds her quite intelligent and a bit intimidating less in a fear way but more in concern that he is inadequate in some way around her. He does however see her drive in himself, seeing someone else push themselves so hard has reminded him to slow down sometimes.
Current Standing: A Trusted Acquaintance (Silas has no reason to believe they are not on friendly terms. , one in which he hopes to become friends with.)
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Nora Elliot | House: Raven Claw| Year: 1
Dynamic: Liked
First Met: It’s raining, it’s pouring
Silas's Assessment: Briefly met under a rainy day; Generally seems like the happy nature type he has met many of in this school. She clearly is not afraid to get dirty so to speak and he keeps her in mind if he needs some aid in the wilderness.
Current Standing: Acquaintance (While he could see them having a friendship they just don't know enough about each other yet.)
✦───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Ginny Angel | House: HufflePuff| Year: 1
Dynamic: Acquaintances
First Met: Accidental Encounter
Silas's Assessment: Cordial and respectful, they met briefly so there is not much to say here.
Current Standing: Interested (He is mildly curious about her but won't go out of his way to learn more on her unless shes directly in his proximity.)
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Bella Light | House: Slytherin| Year: 1
Dynamic: Acquaintances
First Met: Respite amongst the tree
Silas's Assessment: They had a brief conversation while out on the school grounds. They were essentially both dodging school work which was humorous to Silas. He does not have a drastic opinion on her just yet but he does enjoy her company over all. If he could help it, he hopes to talk to her more in the future.
Current Standing: Curious (Liked)
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Rosie Clarke | House: Slytherin| Year: 1
Dynamic: Acquaintances
First Met: Old Books, New Friends... Hopefuly
Silas's Assessment: She was kind enough to let him sit with her and extended that kindness to a couple others as well, they had a small chat at night but nothing to get a large opinion on as of yet.
Current Standing: Curious
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Maya Maxwell | House: Slytherin| Year: 1
Dynamic: Acquaintances
First Met: Old Books, New Friends... Hopefuly
Silas's Assessment: Much of the same as Rosie, Maya and Silas had a small interaction while Silas essentially was fighting sleep. There is not too much thought on her just yet.
Current Standing: Curious
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Ivory River | House: Slytherin| Year: 1
Dynamic: Acquaintances Insert
First Met: Daydreamer with consequences.
Silas's Assessment: Silas came across them in the corridor hallways appearing to be lost. While he offered some aid to help them find the common room, Silas does not yet have a in depth opinion on them.
Current Standing:Curious
✦ ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦
◆ TIER III: STRAINED CONTACTS & ADVERSARIES ◆
- Character Name: Remy Break |House: Slytherin | Year: 2
Dynamic: Strained
First Met: Just Beat It
Point of Friction: During a encounter they had, not only did Remy assault some random student but he also physically assaulted Silas. Naturally as a result Silas is not a fan of this not so friendly giant. To Silas he is a brash, and unintelligent fool who evidently thinks solving everything with his fist is a proper way to live. Despite this however there is no major harboring of feelings, for the most part Silas simply dislikes him and he is one of the two major driving forces for him beginning to learn ways to defend himself. A part of him wishes he had the giants strength, there is much good he could do with such abilities. In a way he admires his potential.
Current Standing: Indifferent (Disliked) (He will actively avoid interactions with them)
✦ ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────✦ - Character Name: Silas Norwood |House: Slytherin | Year: 2
Dynamic: Strained
First Met: Just Beat It
Point of Friction: He had the displeasure of encountering them during the same instance he met Remy. Unlike the giant, this one seems to have something in there head. Cunning for sure and seemingly capable of manipulation as well. Despite there crude off putting way of speaking he somewhat admires there courage. Despite that though, his behavior is excusable to him. He will attempt to learn from what positive traits they have, at a distance naturally.
Current Standing: Curious (Disliked) | (He will actively avoid direct interactions with them however he may occasionally watch them just to see if he can learn anything valuable from them)
