───────────────── Background Reducio Nik was born on January 19 2009. He was the firstborn to a clan of wizards in North Russia. Slowly though after 4 years another sibling was born and then another after 2 and then another after 1. He was born with deep jet black hair and beautiful brown eyes. Now he stands at 5' , towering over most of his siblings. He grew up with a lot of land and his family owns a mansion surrounded by forest. He was never as curious as his brothers, never wanting to search or look out for something. He'd rather learn through books or through stories. His first outburst of magic wasn't as crazy or out there as others. It was expected for his age as he had just turned three. He had just had his birthday and was starting to walk around more and to get into things. One day while he was walking, something fell, it was a paperweight that his father had. When it fell, the boy stopped it in the air with his magic. The boy's parents noticed and we're proud of their son, though they didn't introduce him to the school until years later. After he started the school he started to excel rapidly he went from group one the group to within a small amount of time and now stands in group 4. Overtime in school he has started on the Quidditch team, though he wasn't very close to his teammates. [206] Ability - perfectionist Reducio Niklaus Turgenev, first and only born son to the Turgenev name and estate, completely and wonderfully perfect. He was born quiet and grew as such. The boy didn't cry when he was a child, but only when he was in a great deal of need. Instead, he watched. He learned to crawl up and stand when he was in his crib, watching as his mother would go by, and his father would talk. He learned to read and write quickly, at age 4, to the delight of his young parents. He just didn't speak much. The boy said his first word at 2 years old, a complete one, not a simple cry or laugh or random noise, but a complete word. It was no, the simple fact amusing at dinner parties that the family would throw. The story was simple, the boy had had a fear of dogs, and when he was 2, his father was followed home by a stray. The father had asked him, not expecting a reply, if he wanted to keep it. The boy took one look at the dog, and stepped back in fear, a sharp, almost croaked out, ¨No¨ was said. The dog was sent away, and the boy was praised. The boy didn't speak much after though. So he had time to watch, and slowly as he got older, to read and to learn. In his first year, at this time, he has learned many spells, all learned almost perfectly. His grades never dropped from perfect, where they had started. He was . . Perfect. Only it became a sort of fear for him. He could not not be perfect, if he was threatened with failure it ate him up inside. The boy can't be imperfect. He had to be perfect, no matter the cost. His parents didn't like this, surprisingly. They didn't want their son to be ´perfect´, they wanted him happy and comfortable. They tried to convince him often to go out, to have fun, and to meet people. He didn't listen. Slowly over his life, Nik learned 4 languages, Russian, English, Hindi, and English. He mostly used Russian with his family, using English nearly everywhere else. He learned how to play the Flute and the Piano. He learned about the human brain, then the lifespan of Wizards and how they are different from маглы. He learned all he could, perfecting everything before moving to the next thing. Whenever he was asked to be described, the answer was. . . Perfect. [409 words] ─────────────────

Irina Afanasyeva was a loyal friend. She was the one who would always be there in times of need and would make sure that everyone was alright. She thought of it like a job of sorts, she had to make sure that her friends were in check and didn’t get hurt. Some might have called her the ‘mother’ of the friend group but, in her opinion she just looked out for those that mattered to her. When this combined with her already calming presence, she could make her allies happier and healthier.

She has always looked out for people in her life and has done it much more at Koldovstoretz. There was more of a need at her magical school than there ever was at her magly school. She would still try and help people as a young girl but, her magic had made her afraid to grow close with people and help them. Koldovstoretz allowed to her to not hide her abilities anymore and there were many more opportunities to get hurt.

Irina would always try and keep an eye on her allies, to make sure that they were doing alright. At the Hogwarts Blossom Ball that she was invited to, she had to look after her friend Nate who accidentally drank a potion. She had tried to warn him before the fact but was too late. This potion winded up making him afraid and panicked. Irina attempted to comfort him through the effects and kept him from doing anything dangerous. She made sure that he was completely alright before leaving him and would check in on him more throughout the night to make sure he was still doing okay.

After that disaster of a ball Hogwarts hosted, Irina made it her goal to always be prepared to help aid her friends. When she got home for summer vacation, she told her mom about what had happened and the two of them came to the conclusion that Irina needed to have supplies at the ready. Not anything big though, just minor things like bandaids and gauze. She wasn’t any sort of healer but, had to have supplies on hand just in case her friends got into bad situations. Irina briefed herself on normal magly first aid in case the time ever came where magic wasn’t available to use.

When worrying about her friends, she tried to keep to her personality and stay upbeat. If her friend did get injured, she would stay upbeat when trying to help them. She had been told before that her presence made a big difference when someone was injured, they were glad she was still her happy self and many who she had helped before had told her that it made them feel better. Attitude and personality can make all the difference when helping people. Irina would try to be happy in hopes that her friend or patient would be happy too.

She worries about her friends and after what happened at the ball, she wants to be prepared for everything. Irina keeps her friends well being in mind and hopes that if a problem arises she can be there to help.

Mentions of Nate Smirnow were approved by Haley Rose

Extracurricular: Broom Racer
Content Changes: A little bit to personality that was discovered during the ball.
Updated changes in bold:

Irina was the type of person you would see at every social event or gathering. She is what you would call a popular person, almost everyone she interacted with became an acquaintance of hers. She is bubbly, outgoing, and kind but has a bit of an issue with trust. Ever since her childhood she found it hard to tell others secrets about herself and her family. Due to this she loves to let others talk about themselves and will always be a great listener. She has a very competitive nature though and will get semi-aggressive if someone stands between her and victory. She always looks out for her friends and makes sure that they are okay. If Irina gets very angry then she can become quite rude and sassy.

Also, I’m going to add/change what group she was is in school. Below is what I plan to add.

Reducio

Group 6: Potions
At age 9, Irina came to Koldovstoretz and started out in group 3. She had a slight control of her magic and understood what it could do. Soon enough, she was moved up to group 4 where she learned some of the properties of her magic and how to summon it. At the age of 11, a Mentor told her that she would be best suited in group 5 which focused on dueling. She learned charms and jinxes and spells for almost 3 years. Even though Irina was hitting her mark and succeeding in every spell, it didn’t feel right to her. She didn’t want to be the one who would intentionally try and hurt people with her magic. She wanted more to help people and she wasn’t give much of an opportunity to do that in group 5.

When Irina traveled to Hogwarts and went to Blossom Ball, she felt happy and safe that she knew all these spells but that was short lived. One wrong drink from a cup sent her mind into a furious state and she said some stuff she didn’t mean. Then her friend Nate did the same thing, they had both made the mistake of drinking potions. At that moment, Irina realized that she wanted, no needed to truly dive into the art of potion making. She needed to recognize potions before they were taken to help prevent the mistake she made. In addition, she wanted to be able to help out her friends if they were ever in those circumstances again.

Returning to Koldovstoretz, she faced the daunting task of attempting to change her magical focus. Irina wasn’t afraid of this task and knew that potions was much more of her calling than dueling. Approaching her group 5 teacher, she attempted to explain how she liked learning spells but didn’t really want to harm people with them. Irina told them she never felt like she was reaching her full potential in group 5 and explained what happen at the ball. Also, she shared that she wished to help and wanted to prevent any more instances of what happened at Hogwarts.

They seemed to understand and with talks to a few other administrators she was temporarily added to group 6. Irina had to start fresh in this new group and knew it would be a big challenge to work up to the level she wanted to be at but, she was determined to succeed. She believed this was where her calling was and wanted to be able to help out her friends in that way. Learning potions already felt like home and Irina was motivated to have group 6 work out for her.

Edit, one more thing I plan to add is a little bit to history about what languages she knows and why. In bold is the added material.

At the start of her life, Irina and her parents were very happy, everything was going great and they even adopted a young boy who was 2 years older then Irina. Due to growing up in a Russian household, she learned Russian as her first language. Her mom already knew English and believed that it was a very important language to learn so she taught them it as well.

[b]WC: 513[/b]
Irina was a very curious girl and happened to notice many things outside the ordinary, including her rising magic. Ever since she was a baby she seemed to notice all of the little things out of place that others never saw. From the movement of leaves on trees to what paint is wet or dry. Things that people tried to hide, Irina would find it out by some way. This was also more tied into her gut feeling. Everyone had one but more often than not it seemed as though her’s proved right.

An instance of this was when she was 7 and played a game called hide and seek with a few of her magly friends. Since no one else who volunteer she was nominated to be the seeker. They were outside on a playground with plenty on places to hide and after counting for a minute Irina was off. Thinking for a moment she followed her gut feeling to look behind some of the trees. Surprisingly enough, all but one of her friends were hiding behind the trees. They all groaned and thought that she cheated due to the fact that she found them so fast. There was still one person to be found and Irina noticed out of the slightest corner of her eye, movement towards her left. Heading that direction, she ran without even thinking and just like that she found the last person.

It wasn’t that impressive to win hide and go seek but it kept happening time and time again that she would win within a minute. Due to this all of her friends made her hide instead of being the seeker and the result turned out somewhat the same. Irina would not be found for so long that her friends would give up. They all called her out for cheating wouldn’t play it again because they wanted a chance to win. The thing was, Irina wasn’t cheating at all, she was just trusting her gut feelings hiding in spots she believed they would overlook. 

One time when it was just Zola and Irina, they were walking to magly school. It was typical for them to do this because they didn’t live to far away and it was nice to spend time together. There was no sidewalk but it was a mainly unused road. The two of them were holding hands walking in the street when Irina had a bad feeling come across her. She pulled her mom and herself out of the road and into the grass. Zola was unsure what was going on but decided to trust her daughter. It was a good thing she did because out of nowhere a car came speeding down the road with 3 police officers trailing it. If Irina hadn’t acted on her gut in this moment they would both have serious injuries.

Irina always trusted her gut and recently thought of it more like a warning. When she noticed the things out of the ordinary she would always take note because you never know what could be lurking.[/reducio][/td][td] [right][b][u]Fearless[/u][/b][/right] [reducio][b][u]Fearless[/u][/b]
[b]WC: 421[/b]
Fears. What really determined a fear, was it a part of your brain or natural instinct to be afraid. Irina Afanasyeva was a just a fourteen year old girl yet she felt like she had already conquered all of her fears. She had been abandoned by her father, brother, and her best friend just due to the stigma that being a magical person held. She had already been through so much and was not going to let anything or anyone stop her again. Of course she had some normal fears like dying or losing her mom but she had rarely ever been scared or frightened by her friends at Koldovstoretz. It used to be a game they played, everyone would try and find a way to scare Irina, they wanted to make her flinch or scream, anything to get a reaction.  

Time after time, Irina wouldn’t budge and even found herself in the position where she would wind up scaring them instead. It was all quite a fun game and almost everyone in the school knew that if they wanted to have a challenge scaring someone it would be Irina. They also knew that the best person to call when going on a scary trip was Irina because she wouldn’t be shaken up a bit.

There was one time where Irina had decided that she wanted to travel into the depths of one of the old run down cottages that used to be used for classrooms in the middle of the night. She had gathered a few friends and planned to have a great time exploring. It was almost pitch black when they snuck out of their rooms and took the hike to the cottages. There were 5 of them to start and one chickened out on just the walk. Another one wanted to leave once they reached the room but was too terrified to go anywhere alone so they stayed with the group. They reached the room and walked inside, flashlights on they explored the whole run down cottage. Everyone except for Irina was screaming at the smallest spider or tiniest noise. Irina was just thinking that the place looked quite cool inside. 

They got back to the main school building and you could tell that everyone but Irina were very, very scared. Irina was totally fine with the experience and even thought that she had a good time. It was evident that she really wasn’t afraid of much and her friends even gave her the nickname of “Fearless”.[/reducio][/td][/tr][/table] [table][tr][td] [b][u]Calming Presence[/u][/b][reducio] [b][u]Calming Presence[/u][/b]
[b]WC: 405[/b]
Irina was a very kind person and many who come across her find that she has a sense of calm. This makes them trust her and want to share information with her. This wasn’t always the case though, Irina used to be feared but when she came to Koldovstoretz it started to change. 

She had a lot of issues arise in her childhood due to the fact that she had magic that caused her friend and family to be scared of her. Due to her past she rarely opens up to people and trusts them. Irina winds up being a very good listener and loves to let others talk about themselves. As an avid, kind, listener, others feel much more comfortable to talk to her. So much so that people have talked to her just so that they could have someone to comfort them and talk it out with them. 

One time, an acquaintance of hers came up to Irina in class. They were struggling with learning a spell and turned to Irina for help. Irina had yet to figure it out herself but talked her friend through the different steps of the spell. Just by Irina’s encouragement, her friend succeeded in the spell the next time around. 

When coming home from Koldovstoretz to see her mom when she was 12, Irina found herself next to an older woman. She had never met this women before but had started to strike up a conversation with her. This women must have felt at ease with Irina because soon enough she was sharing her opinions on her job. The job she held must have not been for her because she unloaded all of her feelings onto Irina. Irina wasn’t that shocked that this had happened because it had happened before at Koldovstoretz and many told her they just felt like they could trust her. Irina listened and gave some advice to the women about her job situation. 

She never met the women again but the women winded up going home wondering why she had just told a young girl all of that. Irina started to find herself in positions like this more often where she listened to others and tried to ease their worries away. It came naturally to Irina now, she would be one of the kindest people someone met and would try to make them feel more comfortable about the situation that they were in.

Anastasia Prokovdine
Abilities:
Lovely Creature - 446

Reducio

Believe it or not, considering Anastasia's history, The Prokovdine's were very selective upon who they were going to marry. Blood status didn't matter, but appearance and the social status did. That is to say, Anastasia's family was naturally beautiful. Her mother, pale skin, green eyes, and wavy brown hair was a pleasure to see, and her father, his silver eyes shining all the time, porcelain skin, and blond hair, was very handsome. When they had their first child, she was equally beautiful, taking her mother's green eyes and her dads blond hair and porcelain skin. When Anastasia came to life, she was no exception: taking all of her mum's traits and leaving her dad to cherish his firstborn.

The child had not discovered her beauty until she was in the Muggle elementary school's 6th grade. Nobody cared about her appearance before, for they were only young children that made friends due to their fun and cheerful hearts. When she was twelve , she started to feel the looks behind her back and the direct stares to her face. She couldn't explain what was wrong with them; but she cared to know, and was going to try and investigate the source. Gum on her hair? She didn't see any. Toilet paper stuck on her shoe? Yup, no toilet paper there. She did not see anything wrong with her, and at the time, her appearance wasn't really cnsidered by her. She was clueless about her beauty until she arrived to Koldovstoretz when she turned eleven years of age.

Anastasia's nature was kind and humble, as well as fearless and brave. She learned a lot of things in the past, as well as being raised in a humble family was very helpful for her future years. Being polite ? always, no excuses Elegancy? Yep! Anastasia came with those traits to her wizarding high school full on. She was definitely not expecting glances everywhere like in the muggle school. Her first thought was that she was not being approved in the school. She was left for a few weeks weeping in the lack of confidence she had for the first two weeks of arriving at the school, but then she had to show up more. Or, what was she doing? Again, every time she passed through the halls, she was welcomed by glances from everyone that had looked at her. Her presence was very much seen, thought she did not know why. Nor did she enjoy the constant attention given to her, really. She was slowly realising that he was very very pretty, and that was the reasons of the constant attention that was given to her.

Fearless - 405

Reducio

Anastasia was known to be a brave and fearless girl from heritage, since her parents had educated her on the motto that ''there is nothing to fear but fear itself", and that being scared was for weacklings. Not even an insect could scare off the russian girl, for she usually just felt like there was nothing to be scared about. Nightmares and darkness were one of the biggest children fears, however if Anastasia had a nightmare she would quickly wake up, look around, and go back to bed to dream as thought nothing had happened. Unlike a normal child. The night, well, it was another form of the day, and nothing worrying really happen there, right? She could spend a lot of time in the dark and not worry about being scared or anything coming up to her.

The only fear Anastasia would experience would be fear for her loved one's well being, especially when her family was forced to go into hiding from the Muggles when they were slowly finding out about the magical family's real history. While her family had left the no fear motto behind, Anastasia had stayed with her head up, and even if the situation was hard for them, she kept trying to cheer everyone up.


A significant part of her being fearless was when once, her parents went shopping in a russian village, and her parents had to turn on a dark alley to visit a family member. Anastasia's memory was vivid, and she could clearly remember the day her family was stunned in the front of the alley. Without noticing her companion's sudden stop, she carried along walking as thought nothing had happened, not being bothered by the darkness of the alley. When she realised she was the only one walking there, and her family was a few meters behind her, she turned around, wondering why in the world they were staying behind and not following her. The family ended up taking another, longed but more enlightened path to their friend's house, leaving young Ana to question why in the world they had not taken the quicker path.

Her history also made her question what was to be feared in life. There could always be a solution to a problem. If you couldn't find it, search for it. She would not be so weak to think that monsters crowded her room when she was sleeping, and the dark bringed nightmares to kids.

Her mother, pale skin, green eyes, and wavy brown hair was a pleasure to see, and her father, his silver eyes shining all the time, porcelain skin, and blond hair, was very handsome. When they had their first child, she was equally beautiful, taking her mother's green eyes and her dads blond hair and porcelain skin. When Anastasia came to life, she was no exception: taking all of her mum's traits and leaving her dad to cherish his firstborn.

The child had not discovered her beauty until she was in the Muggle elementary school's 6th grade. Nobody cared about her appearance before, for they were only young children that made friends due to their fun and cheerful hearts. When she was twelve , she started to feel the looks behind her back and the direct stares to her face. She couldn't explain what was wrong with them; but she cared to know, and was going to try and investigate the source. Gum on her hair? She didn't see any. Toilet paper stuck on her shoe? Yup, no toilet paper there. She did not see anything wrong with her, and at the time, her appearance wasn't really cnsidered by her. She was clueless about her beauty until she arrived to Koldovstoretz when she turned eleven years of age.

Anastasia's nature was kind and humble, as well as fearless and brave. She learned a lot of things in the past, as well as being raised in a humble family was very helpful for her future years. Being polite ? always, no excuses Elegancy? Yep! Anastasia came with those traits to her wizarding high school full on. She was definitely not expecting glances everywhere like in the muggle school. Her first thought was that she was not being approved in the school. She was left for a few weeks weeping in the lack of confidence she had for the first two weeks of arriving at the school, but then she had to show up more. Or, what was she doing? Again, every time she passed through the halls, she was welcomed by glances from everyone that had looked at her. Her presence was very much seen, thought she did not know why. Nor did she enjoy the constant attention given to her, really. She was slowly realising that he was very very pretty, and that was the reasons of the constant attention that was given to her.[/reducio][b]FEARLESS[/b]
[reducio]Anastasia was known to be a brave and fearless girl from heritage, since her parents had educated her on the motto that ''there is nothing to fear but fear itself", and that being scared was for weacklings. Not even an insect could scare off the russian girl, for she usually just felt like there was nothing to be scared about. Nightmares and darkness were one of the biggest children fears, however if Anastasia had a nightmare she would quickly wake up, look around, and go back to bed to dream as thought nothing had happened. Unlike a normal child. The night, well, it was another form of the day, and nothing worrying really happen there, right? She could spend a lot of time in the dark and not worry about being scared or anything coming up to her.

The only fear Anastasia would experience would be fear for her loved one's well being, especially when her family was forced to go into hiding from the Muggles when they were slowly finding out about the magical family's real history. While her family had left the no fear motto behind, Anastasia had stayed with her head up, and even if the situation was hard for them, she kept trying to cheer everyone up.


A significant part of her being fearless was when once, her parents went shopping in a russian village, and her parents had to turn on a dark alley to visit a family member. Anastasia's memory was vivid, and she could clearly remember the day her family was stunned in the front of the alley. Without noticing her companion's sudden stop, she carried along walking as thought nothing had happened, not being bothered by the darkness of the alley. When she realised she was the only one walking there, and her family was a few meters behind her, she turned around, wondering why in the world they were staying behind and not following her. The family ended up taking another, longed but more enlightened path to their friend's house, leaving young Ana to question why in the world they had not taken the quicker path.

Her history also made her question what was to be feared in life. There could always be a solution to a problem. If you couldn't find it, search for it. She would not be so weak to think that monsters crowded her room when she was sleeping, and the dark bringed nightmares to kids.[/reducio]

Reducio

Luka’s first year at Koldovstoretz had gone by in a flash. Making new friends, learning amazing things and most importantly, dedicating his free time to learning Quidditch. Being given the opportunity to play as Keeper, especially as a first year, was truly a great honour to him and didn’t want to let his team mates down. He would spend hours practicing, recruiting whichever team mate or friend was available and willing to help him. Deflecting quaffles, dodging bludgers, even practicing flying maneuvers when he couldn’t find a friend to throw balls at him. Anything and everything he could think of to improve his skill.

It was during one such training session, practicing with a friend, where he discovered a little trick. It required speed but if successful, could give his team an advantage. Upon successfully catching a shot, he just needed to increase his turnaround time by immediately throwing it to a teammate. So he added this new method to his practice, a catch and release tactic built on speed. Keep the ball in the game, keep it in his teammates hands. It also meant improving his perceptional awareness of where his teammates were on the field. It would hardly be a useful skill if he ended up tossing the quaffle to the opposite team’s players.

This led him to another, albeit accidental, discovery of how he could help his team. During practice one of his attempts to catch and pass went wrong and instead of sending the quaffle at a teammate, he managed to hit an opposing team member, knocking the poor kid off his broom. He had apologized profusely after the game of course but his team mates had praised his accidental attack and encouraged him to consider using it if there was a good opportunity to do so. He wasn’t very good at this part at first. Passing the quaffle to team mates was easy. Targeting other players and trying to hit them hard… well that really wasn’t his style. But he couldn’t refuse his team mates so he added trying to knock others off brooms with a quaffle to his practice regimen.

Though it took the better part of his first year of Quidditch, he finally managed to perfect this new technique, to perform it with enough regularity as to be able to truly call it useful. By the start of his second year at Koldovstoretz, Luka had a new weapon in his Quidditch arsenal: Keeper’s Catch.

APPROVED - New stats approved, trunk code used. The perfectionist listed in the ability section of the code was removed because there was no application for it.

PENDING - July 14th (edits due by July 21st)

Your stats currently total 30. You have 10 more stats to distribute as a second year.

History - There seems to be a misunderstanding of your character's first instance of magic. It should happen before they get admission to the school, and is usually caused by strong emotions and not so brilliant a display of magic. Some examples of accidental magic are setting a hat on fire when angry, falling from a great height with no injuries, or randomly sneezing bubbles. There is no letter for Koldovstoretz, acceptance to the school is more by legacy or word of mouth (like your mother would enroll you since she herself was a student there). Please brush up on your Koldovstoretz lore for more details on that.

Also, your character's history should focus more on your character's childhood rather than a single instance of attending some shops or their parents' legacy. Please add a bit more about their childhood, with details like their experiences with family, schooling and friends.

Your trunk code does not seem to be a trunk coding (perhaps the wrong thing was copied). It does not include any of the necessary information (stats/extracurricular). Please edit the code accordingly, or if you don't provide any code, we'll just put your stats in a normal trunk post.

Edits: July 15th
1) Stats- improved strength to 8 (originally 7) and Evasion to 10 (originally 1)
2) History updated, removed the shop and most of the legacy and added in more about Edward.
3) Trunk Code- removed- if I have one I want to add, I will post it in the update form

PENDING
- Please change the first instance of magic so it's not in front of muggles for ease.
- He would also probably not be in a town just next to Koldovstoretz as it's situated in the mountains / there isn't really a mention of a village very close so best to not specify that part. For ease, pick an actual city/town/village that exists in real life.
- Six ounces as a weight for birth is way too little. Please change this to something more normal, like six lbs.

Checked on 18th July.

19th July
Edits:
1) Changed it so it’s at night and he is just practicing.
2) I picked a town from IRL and I kinda said nearby because when I’m looking it up, that town is close, but not too close.
3) changed to 6 lbs

19th July - Koldovstoretz is described as beyond the Ural Mountains. The town you have chosen, Sortavala, is nowhere near that mountain range. The school, being in the mountains, is not situated near any towns according to our lore, so just remove the line about living near it and you'll be good to go.

19th July- Line removed.

Describe why this fits your character:

Reducio

Nate had always been taller than the others his age, but not only taller, also broader. He had never been thin and it wasn't all due to the genes he and his brother had inherited from their father. His father is a tall, strong Russian man who passed on only the best of his genes to his two sons. Even as newborns, both sons had been above average in height and weight. But also since Nate was a child, he had always been athletic and fit. Often the two brothers would be with their father in the basement when he was working out in his little gym, playing with the light dumbbells and imitating their father, who would then show them how to do the exercises correctly. What started out with small weights and for fun for the sons had turned into a passion. To this day, the two lift weights, but in addition to weight training, there is another preference of the two brothers - boxing.

Ever since Nate first visited his big brother in training, he had fallen in love with the sport. He knew he wanted to do the same and follow in his brother's footsteps. The very next week he was also signed up in the club and since then he trained several times a week at the boxing club. His already existing strength had only increased through the training and soon he was able to participate in the first competitions thanks to his strength and his good technique. From then on, he trained from competition to competition, participating in championships and developing his skills. As strict as all this sounded to others, he did it out of conviction and fun. He knew he could quit at any time, but he didn't want to, it was his passion.

The athleticism was easy to see in the men of the Smirnov family and often Nate himself didn't even realize how strong he even was for his age. There was a click moment when he realized that he couldn't underestimate himself and needed to learn to control his strength. It was during Quidditch practice when he hit the Quaffle so hard that the broom it hit broke. He had watched the spectacle wide-eyed at the time and realized for the first time what strength he could actually wield. Of course, that didn't stop him from continuing to train and develop his strength, he just had to learn to control it.

Your new ability and stats look good, but your NPC is currently listed as a Quidditch player. Your PC and NPC cannot both be in the same sport, so please edit this post explaining which sport he will be changing to, or if you will be changing your PC.

Edit July 15th: I would then Nate be a Duelist. Can I change my first year ability since it makes no sense anymore?

July 15th - You cannot change past abilities. It still makes sense if you say he was a Quidditch player last year.
