History:
Pre-Hogwarts:
Born in Dublin Ireland, on June 17th, Sean Byrne entered this world during the most beautiful time of year. As Spring rolled into Summer in the year 2011, Sean came into existence. The child of an American businessman and an Irish "hippie," Sean's parents met after his father relocated to Ireland to pursue better business deals for the company he works for. Around the age of six, his mother left home to reconnect with nature, leaving him alone with his father. It was around this time that it was revealed to Sean that his mother was a witch who would frequently leave civilization for many different reasons. Sean's father, being from New York City, never understood this. As he was raised Sean was taught by his father fine manners, however, whenever his mother returned Sean would explore a new area with her. His parents strained relationship was something that took a toll on Sean, consistently spending the school year with his father and breaks with his mother led him to become a combination of both of his parents but also gain his own traits, mostly from school friends or the friends he made during his summer adventures with his mother.
First Magic:
It was during an exploration of the streets of Dublin around age six that Sean first showed signs of magic, his mother and he were at a store when Sean noticed a delicious smell coming from across the street. After they left the store Sean and his mother realized the smell was coming from a nearby bakery. Poking his head through a window, Sean was able to spot the freshly baked bread, sitting on a table inside the room. Sean wished and wished he could have a piece, it smelled so good. And then it happened, the bread began to float towards Sean. Shocked, his mother ran inside the store to try to explain what was happening before Sean got into trouble, thankfully, she was able to pay for the bread before things got out of hand. Shortly following this, Sean's mother would reveal to him that she was a witch and what this meant for Sean's future.
Hogwarts
Year One:
After excitingly getting his wand and other things Sean was looking forward to his first year at the great school of Hogwarts, his mother had told him all about it. At the amazing but overwhelming sorting ceremony, Sean was sorted into house Gryffindor, and who knows what next awaits the young boy?

Personality and Looks
Personality:
ReducioDepending on who you ask you will get one of two descriptions of Sean, either a confident, charming, and passionate young man or a cocky, annoying, and fiery adrenaline junkie. These descriptions stem from his love of trying new things and being sure in the fact they he can do such things, such as skateboarding or playing guitar. He also is somewhat blunt and rarely hides how he feels about a person, just ask his father's friends.
Looks:
ReducioSean stands a bit taller than other eleven-year-olds, currently at 4'11" or about 150 cm. He has medium length black hair and dark brown eyes. Despite the efforts from his father he often does not dress formally and instead likes to look a bit disheveled, wearing beat up converse and jeans with graphic tees.

Wand
Core: Unicorn Hair
ReducioThis core, according to Ollivander’s notes, "generally produces the most consistent magic, and is least subject to fluctuations and blockages. They are generally the most difficult to turn to the Dark Arts. The most faithful of all wands, they usually remain attached to their first owner, irrespective of whether he or she was an accomplished witch of wizard."
Wood: Ash
ReducioOllivander says "The ash wand cleaves to its one true master and ought not to be passed on or gifted from the original owner, because it will lose power and skill. This tendency is extreme if the core is of unicorn. Old superstitions regarding wands rarely bear close examination, but I find that the old rhyme regarding rowan, chestnut, ash and hazel wands (rowan gossips, chestnut drones, ash is stubborn, hazel moans) contains a small nugget of truth. Those witches and wizards best suited to ash wands are not, in my experience, lightly swayed from their beliefs or purposes. However, the brash or over-confident witch or wizard, who often insists on trying wands of this prestigious wood, will be disappointed by its effects. The ideal owner may be stubborn, and will certainly be courageous, but never crass or arrogant."
Length: 30.8 cm
ReducioWhen asked about length Ollivander said, "In my experience, longer wands might suit taller wizards, but they tend to be drawn to bigger personalities, and those of a more spacious and dramatic style of magic"
Based upon these, Sean has identified his wand to be fiercely loyal to him and him alone. Sean likes this, as he always wanted to have a special partnership with his wand. He also feels that the wand suits him well in general, he knows he is stubborn and he likes to think of himself as courageous but he is a bit worried the wand will not apprentice his slightly cocky manner. Overall, Sean loves his wand and feels a tight-knit connection with it and will take of it for as long as the two are together.
