Louis Mochizuki Beauxbatons

Name:	Louis Antoine- Émile Mochizuki
Status:	Wizard born
School:	Beauxbatons
Year:	First Year
Appearance:	Reducio Having an average height for his age, Louis stands at 160 cm tall. Thanks to the healthy lifestyle his mother had promoted to him, the boy is very fit and exercises quite a lot for his age. His posture can be considered too rigid- he tries to sit straight at all times, but his shoulders slouch naturally whenever he lets his guard down. Louis’ hair, which naturally sports a nice shade of brown, gets lighter in the summer, resembling a sandy colour. A bit longer than average, the boy wears his locks tousled, apparently not putting much care into his hair- though, his messy hairstyle suits his physique quite well. The boy’s eyes, framed by long, but rare lashes, are a clear shade of blue, which can come close to grey at times. His stuffy eyebrows tend to naturally furrow, which, together with his emotionless expression, can make Louis seem cold at first glance. The boy puts care into his appearance, and he takes pride in that. Thus, thanks to his good genes and his mother’s advice, his skin is almost flawless, a reason to be envied by others. Louis’ style is very elegant but can be considered at times too gloomy, especially for the boy’s young age. He loves to wear suits, and, even when he has to dress casually, polo shirts and blazers are his first choices. This comes off as a surprise, since his mother, Kaida, has a very unique style. The boy’s wardrobe mainly consists of darker-coloured clothes.
Personality:	Reducio Louis is a rather calm child, who usually keeps things to himself. While he can easily notice unhealthy patterns in people’s interactions from outside, the boy can be considered quite blind in his own personal relationships. Louis’ sense of loyalty makes the boy see the people he cares for through rose-coloured glasses, ignoring the red flags that anyone else would notice immediately. Thus, even if people around him become toxic, he finds excuses for their behaviours, engaging in unhealthy dynamics with them. He only fully trusts Kaida though, the woman who had rescued him when his biological parents abandoned him and the only maternal figure he’s ever known. Thanks to her, the boy has learned to be accepting of everyone and to always seek out different ways of seeing things. This trait has been explored especially during his trips with Kaida and his cousin Coraline around the world, which has also made the boy develop a passion for traveling. During the span of his life, up until he came to Beauxbatons, Louis had lived in five different countries, all around the globe. Thus, not only he has a vast knowledge of many cultures, but he also has an affinity for linguistics- though the only languages he is fluent in are French and English. His lifestyle has other consequences too- because his mother had homeschooled him until it was time for the boy to leave for Beauxbatons, the boy is quite shy and reserved, and, besides his cousin, Louis never really had any friends. Though, he has a big heart and has poured his love and care into different volunteering activities. While he is interested and well-versed in many subjects, Louis’ biggest passion is having a healthy lifestyle- this includes his dishes (the boy loves cooking his vegetarian meals) and physical activity. Louis’ favourite sport is, by far, swimming.
History:	Reducio Louis’ mother, Kaida Mochizuki, has adopted the boy when he was still an infant, and for the first couple of years, they had lived in a nice penthouse in Cairo, leading a peaceful life in the muggle world. Though, his mother had to frequently move because of her job. Thus, in the span of eleven years of his life, he has also lived in Japan, Scotland, and Greece before residing, just before his tenth birthday, in France. There, Louis has received his Beauxbatons Acceptance letter, which didn’t come as a surprise at all. Raised by a squib, the boy knew from an early age that he is a wizard, and, while he mostly lived side-by-side with muggle people, his mother always found ways to keep him connected to his magic side. In Scotland, Louis met Coraline- Kaida’s niece, whose father had been involved in some shady business, and thus endangered the youngster’s life. In order to fulfill her late sister’s last wish, which was to take care of her daughter at all costs, his mother took Coraline under her wing, and she came to live with Louis and Kaida. While he was a bit envious that Kaida’s attention wasn’t fully on him anymore, he eventually came to love Cora as a sister. Louis’ first magical incident happened years ago, just a few days shy of his third birthday. Back then, his mother had just changed her look- a thing she does it quite frequently. Little Louis, who had been used to seeing Kaida with pitch-black long hair, didn’t recognize the blonde-haired woman who suddenly entered his room, and approached him. In his young mind, the boy thought that Kaida, who’d dyed and cut her hair, was someone else entirely, a monster who had hurt his real mother. As he started crying, the two-year-old boy searched for ways to escape from the crib he was trapped in, but he was defenseless. Then, something special happened: his fear triggered some sort of self-defense mechanism, and the boy started floating! While Kaida eventually pulled her son down, that was the event that gave away the boy’s magical abilities. IC Unknown Reducio The truth was that, when Louis has mistaken Kaida for someone who was impersonating his mother, he wasn’t that far from the truth. In fact, the boy is the youngest son of Klaus and Arabella Marolf, two powerful pureblood wizards from Switzerland. So, how did he end up being kidnapped then? The story goes back to his father’s childhood. From the moment Klaus was born, his parents had tried to find him a suitable wife- nothing else mattered more to them than the continuity of the pureblood lineage. While this thing hadn’t bothered him during his childhood, when he began his studies, Klaus found himself falling in love with his classmate, a muggle-born witch: Kaida Tokoyami. The young woman found herself easily falling for Klaus’ charms and manners, and before she knew, grew an obsession for the pureblooded man. They had a lovely romance, hidden from the eyes of other students and their families. But, eventually, the Marolfs found out the truth. Becoming more and more desperate to marry their son off, so he wouldn’t elope with a mudblood, Klaus’ parents hit the jackpot when they met the Cléricos, another family of purebloods who was also searching for a suitable husband for their heiress, Arabella. After meeting his future wife for the first time, Klaus decided to break up with Kaida. While the two purebloods weren’t truly in love with each other at that time, neither of them tried to stop their imminent wedding, mainly because of their similar values and their loyalty to keeping the bloodline clean. Thus, everyone was getting their happy ending, with an exception. Kaida, who had been heartbroken, went mad with rage when she found out the real reason why her sweetheart left her. In an attempt to free herself from the man, she ran away from school during her last year, but, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t forget about Klaus. Thus, after stalking him for a few months, she found the identity of his future wife, and, one night, she tried to attack Arabella. While she had survived, the heiress was traumatized- she refused to leave her room, too afraid that someone would try to kill her again. Enraged, her family demanded that the Marlofs would get rid of Kaida, or else the wedding would be called off. Klaus’ parents made some of their underlings find out where Kaida had been living and decided to kill her. But, in a twisted way of fate, they didn’t murder the witch, but her twin sister Madoka- after a fight with her own boyfriend, the muggle woman took her infant daughter and came to spend the night with Kaida. Though, when the said woman left the house to buy some supplies, the wizards employed by the Marlofs came. By the time Kaida returned, her sister was barely hanging on and, with her last breath, she made Kaida promise to take care of Coraline. After learning of his girlfriend’s death, Cora’s father took his daughter and tried his best to raise her, while he blamed his sister-in-law for Madoka’s death. Kaida couldn’t defend herself, knowing very well she couldn’t spill the secret about the wizarding world- and even if she did, no one would believe her. Thus, she planned her revenge- and when word came that The Marlofs had given birth to a healthy heir, Kaida knew how to avenge her sister’s death- by taking from the people who had murdered Madoka what they loved the most. At first, Kaida's plan was to kill Louis; even if she got caught, she had nothing more to live for. But, when she laid her gaze upon the blue-eyed boy for the first time, she knew she couldn't take his life- so she took him as her child instead. Changing both their surnames, moving to another country altogether, and, after casting some spells as to make it seem like Louis had an unfortunate accident, Kaida decided to hide her abilities, choosing to live as a muggle with her new son- which wasn't that hard, since everyone thought she was dead. She became a travel journalist, which not only kept her out of the Marlof’s sight, but also helped her explore the world. Louis followed her everywhere, and since he was too young to be burdened with learning so many different languages, he relied on his mother for almost everything. Even though Kaida erased her existence from the wizarding world, she always made sure that Louis was in touch with his abilities and taught him many things about wizards and other magical creatures. That’s how, one day, when she found her son snooping through her old textbooks, Kaida noticed his interest in merpeople and their language. Knowing that mermish would help him much more than any other non-human language, mainly because of his swimming passion, the woman got into a contact with a community of merpeople that lived in Greece, and asked them if they could give Louis some lessons. Thankfully, they approved, and during a hot summer day, Kaida took Louis to the sea, where he was, for the first time, truly exposed to any kind of magical creatures.
