Reducio

Daring and witty, Nate appears charming to those who like him, and arrogant to those who don't. He loves to make jokes and play sports. To others, he seems to be fearless, however that is a facade. He is actually insecure and timid, although very few people know that. He loves to play sports and is very athletic, but he also loves to paint when he's alone and is an avid reader.

History/Background Story:

Reducio

Nate was born in Quebec on the 2nd of November 2010. He never knew his father and has never wanted to know. His mother raised him in Montreal until he was five, when she got a job in Toronto and they moved. French is his first language and he is fluent in both French and English.
As a kid, he was very shy. He was reluctant to make friends and preferred to read on his own rather than interacting with others. However, this all changed when he joined the school soccer team. He soon made friends with many of the other team members and gained in confidence. However, some of his friends began to make mean jokes about his paintings. He stopped painting and threw himself into his soccer, becoming one of the best members on the team. He was a Keeper and rarely let a goal in, helping the team win many matches.
As he got older, he realised that his friends weren't exactly what they seemed. He was still friends with them, but he drifted away from them and began painting again.
When he was about to turn eleven, he received his Hogwarts letter. A witch came to explain everything about magic. He was very sceptical, but his mum fully accepted it, realising it was an explanation for many of the things that had happened to Nate as he grew up. Nate began to research magic and discovered Quidditch, a game which he was eager to learn to play.

First instance of magic:

Weird stuff always seemed to follow Nate around as a child. Both he and his mother brushed it off as luck or coincidence. But this couldn't have been a coincidence. When Nate was eight, he was climbing a tree in his garden. His mother was standing at the window, watching him. He had been climbing the tree since he was little, and his mother, Marie, trusted him not to go too high. However, on that day, Nate had decided to see if he could climb a little higher than normal. He wasn't particularly high up, but the wet, cobbled floor below posed a danger if he fell. Which he did. Nate slipped on a wet branch and tumbled out of the tree. His mother rushed out of the door, terrified he was hurt and found him sitting at the base of the tree. He looked up at her, a confused expression on his face. Marie had no words. She was just glad that he was safe.
