Character Backstory:

Reducio

Evpraksiya is the third born of Aleksandrina and Morozov Vinogradova. Born after her sisters Nadezhda and Tatiana, Evpraksiya was quite spoilt as the youngest child, acquiring gifts and compliments alike. She admired Nadezhda for her elegance and capability and was determined to be just like her when she grew up. She grew up tailing after Nadezhda, sitting on the velvet stool in the older girl's potions room and passing her small oddities of ingredients when the brunette asked. Tatiana had a few concerns about Nadezhda negatively influencing her and often distracted Evpraksiya with fights over the smallest things to get her away from Nadezhda and her mind off of other things.

However, Nadezhda moved away from St. Petersburg for a potions apprenticeship under a potions master when Evpraksiya was 6 and Tatiana was 16. This allowed the girls to grow closer without the constant fighting. However, as they grew older the parents couldn't be around all the time as the family winery business often drew away their parents and socialite events taking up another significant portion of their time. This often left Tatiana and Evpraksiya in the care of the staff at their manor. Their aunt, Snežana, was their primary caretaker and Tatiana wanted to be just like her, Evpraksiya however, desperately wanted their parents' attention back and noticed that when she accomplished something that exceeded their expectations, she noticed that they'd turn towards her again.

Thus sets the stage for the rest of her life.

Evpraksiya would regularly do her best to excel in music, particularly violin, as she noticed they would never miss any of her recitals. Her academics were still a priority yes, but in the small group of purebloods she was being taught with where each and every one of them excelled, she didn't shine the way she decided she needed to be to in order to catch her parent's attention. Every bit of piece of sheet music she could get her hands on was memorized and learned of. The histories behind the pieces became things that she could tell her parents when they came to dinner. She developed a particular interest in muggle music as she was fascinated with the contrasts and similarities between it and magical music.

At the age of 18, Tatiana graduated from Drumstrang and stayed in Russia as Evpraksiya (8 years old) and the parents moved to Britain to further their business connections. Since, as ancient as the family was, they were mainly localized in Russia's wizarding community, although they did work with a few niche squib-run distributors due to the nature of businesses wanting to expand profits and corner markets. It was also to this end that they decided to move to Britain, London. The business capital of Britain.

From there on, Evpraksiya was taken to galas and balls to socialize with other pureblood children and got to spend more time with her parents, making new connections and honing her musical skill until her letter from Hogwarts arrived.

First Instance of Magic:

Reducio

Evpraksiya’s first instance of accidental magic was after her first violin performance during a Yuletide pureblood ball at the age of 9 years old. During the last scale in her performance, she was so euphoric that her magic created the illusion of music notes peeling off her violin and floating around her for a few moments before disappearing when her performance finished. Her family was incredibly proud of her afterward, Tatiana even elbowing people aside to give Evpraksiya a bear hug.

Reducio

Evpraksiya stood in the corner of the ballroom, her pale hand gripping the polished wood of her violin and her other holding her bow in rest position. She'd made sure to tune it beforehand and even asked Nadezhda to check it for her! Since the eldest and middle sisters floo'ed in to celebrate Yuletide with the family. The youngest Vinogradova wore a seemingly simple dress of white that flowed like water around her, the intricate lacework catching the light as she moved. Her light hair was elegantly pinned up with a jeweled hairpin instead of her signature ribbon, and her carefully made-up face wore a serene expression, even as her heart raced with nerves excitement! The whispers of the crowd buzzed around her and each syllable felt like an echo of the expectations she carried on her shoulders.

Evpraksiya wasn't stupid, she knew that her family name was the only reason she was performing the opening song so she had to try really hard not to mess up! Her entire family was here too she had to be extra extra extra careful!

As the spotlight shifted toward her, the audience quietly stopped their speaking. And with a graceful nod, Evpraksiya stepped forward, a wave of goosebumps sweeping over her and sending shivers down her spine. She lifted her violin to her shoulder and began drawing the bow across the strings. The first notes emerged a haunting melody that wrapped around the room like a gentle caress, a celebration of the winter solstice.

The girl closed her eyes and lost herself in the music, the ingrained muscle memory giving her the little allowance and the hypnotic cadence pulling her deeper into her little world. Each note rang clear and clean, no bleed-through with the other strings.

Near the end of her performance, something looked up within her- a surge of energy, an instinctive response to the joy in the moment. Unbeknownst to Evpraksiya, her magic began to create small illusionary music notes that bobbed around her for a few scant moments as she played her final scale, disappearing quietly once the crescendo crashed down and the audience began clapping

This, Evpraksiya decided, cracking open her eyes and seeing her family smiling back at her, Tatiana already breaking decorum and elbowing someone aside to run towards her and lift her up in a big warm hug, was perfect.

Reducio

Michael Sikorski was born in Lockington, England, the only and wanted child. He spent his childhood in a small magical household full of love. His father was a half-blood, and his mother was Muggle-born, and they gave as much love and knowledge as any parents could give to a son. They had hired private tutors for Michael from an early age to learn reading, writing, and mathematics so he may be well-rounded in childhood. Growing up like this made him spend most time of the day at home. Because of that Michael started to love hanging around exploring the countryside of Lockington. He was always around magic and regular plants, and this helped him realize his love for nature. Such curiosity developed an interest in collecting species and learning about their properties. At home, Puffskeins were to be found around Michael pretty much always, and he adored the fluffy magical creatures. These creatures could make him happy even on a bad day. His father worked in Magical Law and made sure Michael grew up with a proper sense of discipline and responsibility, his mother, on the other hand, allowed his imagination to grow up with stories and her vast collection of books. His father taught him many magic games, which he used to love when he was young, and Michael took this love too. Included among his favorites were Exploding Snap, Wizard Chess, and Quidditch, and he was very competitive at all of them. Even with his passion for games, he tried to balance his love of games with lessons, and he did his best to be the best in whatever he did.

When he was 7, Michael played hide-and-seek in Lockington forests, wanting to hide behind a thick tree. His heart was pounding with fear as the seeker was approaching. He was in a state of panic when the footsteps got louder.
In one second, he was completely wrapped by the leaves and branches. Seeker strode along, passing by the tree, looking right at it, yet having no idea Michael was hidden inches away from his face.
Dazed yet relieved, Michael watched his friend go away, back to its normal position. Later, when he told his parents, they said it was his first act of magic. They were proud, but he felt embarrassed as if excitement caused it.

Troy never had an easy life, especially because of his leg. He would have to endure so much bullying when he was a kid. The amount of kids who were insensitive enough to make jokes about his leg and treat it like a toy was well, insane. He usually just ate up these insults, if you could even call them that. But one day, he kind of just snapped. He was 9, It was a sunny bright Monday morning. He had just woken up, had breakfast in bed and prepared for school. Today was the annual art contest, the theme: greenery. He usually won these types of contests, but he still did his best. His long-time butler, Fred walked into his room. Fred was a thin man with sleek black hair and a perfect mustache. He’s usually wearing a suit as a butler. “Sir Troy, Mr. Al with the Rolls Royce is ready for you to leave for class. Today is your art contest I believe? Don’t forget your canvas Sir.” Fred said as he picked up Troy’s school bag. “Yeah I wont, could you take my bag to the car? I’ll handle the canvas when I’m done strappin on” Troy said patting his trusty prosthetic leg. “Very well Sir, I’ll await you at the main door.” Fred said leaving Troy’s room. Shortly after grabbing his name tag, Troy walked out of his room, said bye to his mum and dad, down the stairs and into the car. It was a short 20 minute drive, he thanked his chauffeur, got out and walked onto school grounds. The day, as usual was easy for him. He was excited when lunch ended, Art class. One by one students presented their artworks ( he couldn't recognize HALF of them.. ) when it got to his, there was "ooooo"s all around the class. He couldn't help but smile. He was pronounced the winner after a short voting. A student named Mark, a beefy boy walked up to him. "Nice painting" he said with a twisted smile. Suspicious, Troy answered "Thank you.. worked too long on it." Mark's grin grew larger. "Who’d you pay ter make it? Musve gotten a lot for it" Troy stayed silent. His temper is predictable, however if he's pushed enough he'll crack. Laughing, Mark taunted back "Little T wants to make us think hes an artist innit?? Nun o’ this is foolin anyone! You didnt make it, because yer dont hav enough talent!" his laugh echoed around the empty classroom. He was very close to loosing his temper. He jumped into the car and was silent the entire ride home. Fred opened the door for him, "How was school today? Would you like a snack?" he asked in a polite voice. "Uh it was fine, I'm not hungry right now" Troy said running up the stairs nearly tripping. He was still fuming. He did what he always did when he was mad, painted. He sat down in front of his canvas, he was finishing a painting of a car, he was shadowing the car. "Darn it I can't find the right shade!" he said usually he was able to eye it. Multiple attempts later, it was getting annoying. Now it was too dark! Angry from earlier today, and now this annoying piece of work! He thrusted his fist slam into the middle of the painting of the Mercedes GT, leaving a gaping hole. His hand now had flecks of undried paint from the canvas. "UGH!" he kicked it away. He sat on his bed, trying to calm himself. he looked in the mirror, for a second all of his anger disappeared. His eyes were.. red?- That wasn't possible. He walked in front of the mirror. He blinked. Holy crap, they were real! "I gotta tell mum and dad!" He ran to their room, “MUM, DAD! MY EYES! THEY WERE JUST RED” His eyes were now going back to their usual dark brown. That was new and unexpected.. He noticed it now, but how many times had it happened where he hadn't looked into a mirror? They smiled at him. “What?!” He shouted, now slightly afraid. “Dear.. we’ve known since you were 2! Watched your hair turn a little bit brown sometimes, and when you cried, your nose sometimes got a little sharper. We just well, withheld this so you didn’t go around school telling people about it.” He was shocked. You only told me now?- he thought. His mom brought him to the home library and opened a book, and explained that he was a metamorphagus. Safe to say it was an interesting afternoon

Character Backstory:

Reducio

was a pure Chinese muggle, part of a very powerful family. The 林’s ( Lín, the western version being Lim ) are a well known mafia family. Focused on family, culture, power and wealth. In China they are known to be 林会堂 ( LínHuìTáng, Lin Syndicates ) one of the most feared families in the country. Known for having mountains of connections and a large family tree, they have a powerful deck of cards. Controlling large scale smuggling operations between countries, smuggling things as big as millions of yen worth of cars. Series of real and fake business to aid money laundering and to cleanly earn, business like hotels, shopping malls. Even overwhelming political influence, often bribing officials and bending the rules to their favor.

Currently situated Beijing, China where Tony finished college with a degree on automotive engineering and business management. He was a good man, born into an powerful, not so good family, he expressed his wishes to his father to move away, instead of helping with the family business ( He had 7 more siblings already aiding the syndicate ). His father, was not happy about this, however he agreed. Even offering Tony large amounts of money to help him start off in his new life. However he declined, saying that he wants to make clean money, out of his own blood sweat and tears. He wanted to have kids who weren’t in the influence of such power. Using his allowance, he moved to the Philippines, a warmer smaller country, where he started off as a car retailer. Slowly he began working on large imports into the small country opening dealerships. Work was his go to, he loved it, as pastime on weekends he practiced swimming and tennis. But there was something missing.

He was sitting in a cafe one Wednesday morning, when a girl approached him, around his age. Her hair was long and sleek, its dark ends slightly brown curled, her deep brown eyes matched, She was simply beautiful. Tony was simply stunned by her beauty, and they started chatting. Her name was Andrea Tan, a loving woman who values relationships over everything. Belonging to a large wealthy family herself, she was playing a key role in their business taught by her muggle mother. They specialized in creating shopping centers and malls. Most of her family were wizards who married muggles. The long line of wizards and witches were either Ravenclaw or Slytherin. She was independent, knowing how to take care of herself and overall being a strong woman. She was in charge of everything related to restaurants and department stores in the company while the rest of the family had their shares.

Both of the lovebirds hit off pretty quick, she chucked when he struggled to speak english ( having just moved there less than 4 months ago ). Eventually they started dating. She started helping him in his business ( since she was Chinese-filipino she could help translate local language ) It was true love. They got happily married 3 years later. Together they went through many challenges, ( including finding out she was a witch which was a nasty shock ) and she was there to see the success he had achieved. So well in fact, he had decided to move to Europe to expand. Starting off in Great Britain, before expanding to more parts of Europe. So did Andrea, expanding the family business abroad. His name well known for being one of the most well known car retailers in Europe. While hers being a well known shopping mall company.

Both of their success quickly led to riches which provided their two children a lavish lifestyle. Troy was born together with his twin Tiffany. However there was one very obvious difference, he did not have a right leg. It came as a shock to his parents. However they have accepted it and was always by his side. Troy grew up with a prosthetic leg, which was sometimes difficult. But he enjoyed the discounts in fast food restaurants. Culture was a very big part of his family, mostly practicing Chinese. He and his sister had taken lessons on how to speak Filipino, Chinese and Fookien as early as when he could start saying full sentences. His home language was usually a mix between the 3, however in public, he speaks fluent english. He promised to himself not to put himself in such a situation if he had a choice, 4 were more than enough. An instrument was also needed to be learnt. Troy chose the violin and the piano, while Tiffany leant how to guitar and play drums. ( Mother was more accepting of Troy’s choice. They both practiced since they were young, growing up to be skilled players.

Despite being twins, Tiffany and Troy were very different. Troy enjoyed all things automotive just like his father, his paintings usually centered around cars and famous races. His large room inside the Lim Manor was always tidy and organized. Everything was always in place, Troy has a little bit of OCD. But one corner would always be covered in black tarps where his painting was usually done. There, it was messy. The black tarps covered in paint, and empty paint cans scattered on the floor beside multiple canvases.

Tiffany on the other hand instead of creating art, had a passion of admireing it. She had an avid love for all things photography, usually handing around the backyard photographing their dog, and sometimes her father’s car collection. By 10 she had multiple cameras, and was learning how to make miniatures. She was a creative little girl who was always energetic in every situation. Both siblings had a strong bond with each other. They would spend weekends playing and having fun.

Troy grew up making lots of friends, being chatty and all. But many "friends" were interested only in his family's wealth. Who could’ve known 8 year old kids knew how to be fake friends? His old best friend, Alejandro, was among them. Despite the countless good memories they made together, Troy saw that Alejandro and the rest of his friends were more interested with what they could leech off of. ( Gifts, money and food given by his parents, the more of it if they were close to him. ) Troy trusted them, but they were only leeching of him. When Troy turned 10, the harsh realization set in. Slowly, his "friends" revealed their true dark colors. Leaving him alone and hurts. He was heartbroken.

The poor boy was in denial, convinced it was his fault, that he did something wrong though he knew deep inside it wasn't. Troy had always admired loyalty. But now everything seemed fake. Everyone seemed fake. Everyone except family. This left a profound impact on himself, new peers that he would meet, he would always be suspicious of their end goal. He didn’t want history to repeat itself. It was a horrible ordeal he always ran away from. He became more introverted, avoiding social gatherings if he could help it. Birthday parties sucked, it wasn’t a celebration for him, but more of a reminder. It always left him teary seeing that it was just Tiffanys friends there. It left a scar, that hurt like a fresh wound.

First Instance of Magic:

Reducio

Troy's first instance of magic was while he was bringing up large amounts of paint at the age of 9. He was painting a large canvas, needing large amounts of orange paint. He walked up the grand staircase with the heavy bucket. A small mis-step caused his hands to slip his hands lost grip on the bucket. It tumbled down the stairs with a loud "CLANG!" its lid splitting open, releasing its contents spilling out. Orange paint covered the walls. "Father's going to kill me!" He closed his eyes, how could he have been so dumb? This can't be real! He thought. Opening them, it was as if it wasn't. The bucket was no longer tipped on its side at the bottom of the staircase. All the orange paint had seemingly disappeared. He saw the bucket neatly placed at the end of the staircase upright, as if he hadn't gone up the stairs and as if he had just set it down. How peculiar! He thought he was mad! He didn’t understand what it meant. He kept this from his parents for weeks, fearing they'd send him to a mental asylum. Of course he told Tiff, and made her promise to not tell her parents. Why did he trust her with that? He had no clue, it was out to his parents within the day. Much to Troy's surprise were thrilled. ( Of course after a thorough scolding about doing things on his own "We have a butler! Just ask them to help you!" mother had said )

"There is little use in denying the metamorph gene as it manifests from a very young age. Usually the first hints appear when the metamorphmagus is a newborn and at the latest these traits show when the person is a toddler."

Troy's metamorphagus ability would manifest long before he was truly cognizant of it, and as such the possibility of being able to hide it from his parents or for them not to notice is almost non-existent. Please update your application to reflect this.

Character Backstory:

Reducio

Accalia had a peaceful, if quiet, childhood. Although her family is pure-blooded, they chose to distance themselves from the social circles and drama typically associated with other pure-blood families, preferring instead to keep to their close-knit group of friends. Her father works a mundane middle-management job at the Ministry of Magic, while her mother spends her time on adventurous archaeological expeditions.
Accalia is also the protective older sister of twin younger brothers both 8, always watching out for them.

Her parents when attending school were in the Hufflepuff house and Ravenclaw, respectfully, while her dad's best friend and her godfather/uncle was in Slytherin, she has been taught that each house has elements that can be respected and to not be too bogged down in house stereotypes or animosity.

They live in a comfortably sized home nestled in a forest clearing atop a hill in the Dunkeld region of Scotland.
Her home is secluded and surrounded by nature, offering privacy and tranquility and in order to protect their magical lifestyle, the home is shielded by a powerful enchantment that disguises it as a simple cave to any passing Muggles, ensuring their family remains undisturbed.
The location allows Accalia to explore the nearby woods and encounter the magical creatures that roam the area, a bonding exercise she engages in with her parents that has led to her deep love for all creatures.

Her father, Henri Avalon, is a towering figure at 6'7", with silvery blonde hair that contrasts his striking blue eyes, eyes that Accalia inherited. Stocky and well-built from the family’s rigorous physical training, he cuts an imposing figure, but his large bristly beard, which Accalia playfully imagines might house pixies or sprites, adds a touch of gentle whimsy to his appearance.
His deep, booming voice, which Accalia swears carries its own echo, is a signature of his presence, a sound that fills their home with both authority and warmth, to Accalia, that voice is as much a symbol of security as it is of love.

Her mother, Remira, is Accalia’s hero.
With her radiant amber hair and freckled skin, she seems to light up the world with every step.
Slender with a dancer's figure, Remira's skin has taken on a warm tan from countless hours spent outdoors on her archaeological adventures, where she unearths hidden relics.
She is known for her half-moon spectacles, behind which her emerald eyes gleam with mischief, curiosity and wisdom and she is rarely if ever seen without her signature flat-top hat, which adds to her overall charm.
Though her work often takes her far from home, whenever Remira returns Accalia eagerly fetches her brothers and they gather around to hear her mother’s thrilling stories of distant lands and ancient discoveries.
Remira's strength, grace, and adventurous spirit make her a guiding light in Accalia's life, embodying everything she admires and hopes to become.

Her parents share a deep, enduring love, two souls bound eternally, something Accalia admires deeply and one day hopes to obtain of her own.

Her younger brothers Dale and Teddy are near identical, though taking on opposite traits of their parents to Accalia, picking up their fathers hair and mothers eyes, they often can be found playing with sticks or harassing the families dog a young Mastiff by the name of Dingo.

She has one blood uncle, two uncles who are best friends to her father and three blood aunts, having around thirteen cousins.

She is looking forward to making new friends at school, developing further and finding what mischief she may fall into.

First Instance of Magic:

Accalia's first display of magic was neither grand nor dramatic, but it revealed her innate protective nature.
When she was nearly four years old, her mother was changing her younger brothers when Teddy slipped from the baby-changing bench.
Accalia had been running around her mothers feet when Teddy began to fall, flinching in fear and concern for her brother, already picturing his cries when he would hit the ground, her body feeling rigid and stiff for the first time in her life when her powers activated, with just her eyes watching her baby brother fall Teddy found himself stopped in mid air, a soft air cushion cradling him gently as he floated with enough time for her to walk over, scoop him up and hold him close to her, comforting the crying tot.

Thank you for all of the edits.

Jun felt unsteady. She felt unsteady in the way she moved as she sat up, in the way her body ached with soreness, in the way she felt. Her heart was racing and an upcoming nausea had set in her throat. The young girl had just woken up from a nightmare once again. Her father's voice was still ringing in her ears, the sight of blood everywhere - blurry in her dark room - , Mey‘s scream, Hoshi‘s scream. Her own scream. The pain of teeth burying into her shoulder and claws scratching down her side and even more so the horror of not being able to stop what was going to happen. Not being able to protect Mey and Hoshi and her Father.

Jun‘s cheeks were wet with tears as flashbacks ran through her mind. It had been a couple months now. About seven, maybe? Seven months since her world had crashed to pieces that she wasn’t able to glue back together.

It had been an uneventful day. Jun and her family were on holiday in the UK, as they were ever so often. Every year actually. She knew that her Father and Mother were keen on moving here and had already purchased grounds that their property was built upon. They had always shared that dream and Jun was happy with it too. Her best friend and Cousin, whose place the family was currently staying at, lived here and they would be able to attend Hogwarts together in a year.
Mey and Jun had always been close, as Harumi (Meyra's Mother) and Saburo (Jun’s Father) were siblings. It was only natural they’d become best friends. Nothing would ever change that.

The two had been playing in the yard of the estate after Dinner. It was close to nightfall but Jun never felt unsafe in her Cousin’s company - especially not under the kind and watchful eyes of Harumi sitting on a blanket close by, along with Hoshi, Mey‘s younger brother. Her mother and father had gone inside some time ago, which Jun had thought was a bit odd but didn’t pay much mind to, since Saburo had been out for work that day. He had said Hello to her when he got back and they had spent time in the library together. It had become somewhat of a tradition that Jun and Saburo would spend an hour or two reading or talking together in the library, whenever he had been away for work. They would drink tea and share Shiroi Koibito. Biscuits, which are filled with a white or dark chocolate filling. It was like a reassurance that he had come home safe and sound.

Jun got out of Bed shakily, staggering closer to the balcony in a fast pace. She pushed open the glass doors and stumbled out, gripping onto the railing. Her breath was going quickly as the cold night air caressed her skin. Her eyes met the moon. It was close to full moon, just a couple more days until she would become one of the Monsters she despised the most. The Monsters that had killed her father, because she had distracted him. A stabbing pain spread through her chest and she squeezed her eyes shut, head falling into her hands. Her elbows were shaking on the thick metal. The Nightmares always got worse this close to the transformation night.

A strange Man had joined them in the garden. Jun had never seen him but Harumi seemed to know him. She looked concerned and told the children to go upstairs to Mey‘s room. Her Mother and Father were joining them and Saburo spent no time wasted after Harumi‘s gaze, grabbing the three kids gently and leading them up. „Hide them under the Bed and lock the doors!“ was what Jun heard last from behind. She followed her father fastly, glancing at Mey now and then. „Dō shita no, o tōsan?[revilio]What’s going on, Dad?[/revilio]“ He didn’t answer, at least not with what Jun had wanted to hear. He only said they’d be safest in Mey‘s room right now.

They got to the room rather fast and Saburo gave all three of them a hug, pressing a kiss on his daughter’s head. „Do not fret, you‘ll be fine. I‘ll be right outside and in just a bit, you’ll be back outside playing in the yard. Just go hide under the bed and try to get some rest.“ He shut the door before them and the kids did as they were told. The curtains were pulled shut and night was falling fast over England. They spent the time close together, whispering silently, watching Hoshi draw and telling stories to each other to pass the time. They didn’t know what was going on and when hours passed, they grew bored of playing this hiding game. It was dark by now, only the moon shining through the curtains. Hoshi had fallen asleep so the two girls were now simply laying next to one another, until Jun had enough of waiting.

Jun crept out from beneath the bed silently and peeked through the keyhole. „Dad, are you still there?“ she asked, feeling the door rattle slightly, like he had been leaning against it. „Yes my love, are you, Hoshi and Meyra quite alright in there?“ Jun looked back to Mey and through the Keyhole again. „Yes, but we are growing bored and… I‘m a little scared, Dad. What’s going on? Can you peek through the keyhole back at me?“ she heard shuffling and then her gaze met one of her Father’s brown eyes. A small smile spread across her lips. „There’s some disturbances happening today, which is why your Mum and Aunt are throwing up some protective spells around the house, with Rodney.“ Jun heard silent footsteps outside but couldn’t peek past her Dad. „And who was that Man?“ Saburo paused for a second until the footsteps were gone. „That is a friend of ours, you don’t need to worry about him.“ Then he was silent again. Something about this wasn’t right and it worried her.

„I love you Dad.. can you tell another one of your stories to me, when we are done with this?“ Jun said softly, after a moment in which they only looked at each other. „I love you too, Mayumi, my Moon. Yes, of course- “ Then everything went fast. Tumultuous sounds were suddenly erupting from outside the door and Jun heard a gut wrenching scream slip from her Father. She couldn’t see him anymore. She stumbled back in Horror, tripping over her own two feet and crashing down to the Floor. „Dad!“ She screamed, hurrying to the door, which was kicked through in that moment, sending her flying against the wall head first and falling to the ground. First, she saw Mey’s horror filled eyes from beneath the bed, then she saw the horrible creature before her. But what she saw behind it was worse. Her father laid on the floor, wand rolled away to the stairs, bleeding from a wound in his throat.

A high pitched scream left her lips before she felt teeth burying into her shoulder in a sharp sensation. The pain was almighty, screaming red in her numb mind. She barely noticed the scratches down her side before consciousness leaving her, horrible images haunting her forever. The girls along with Saburo were transported to St. Mungos to receive Medical Care after the attack. It took Jun days to wake up, only to discover her world had been shattered to pieces in a single night. Her World, Mey’s World, Their family's world. She wished they had never gone to the UK for their annual vacation.

It had started raining. Jun was sitting on the balcony, knees too weak to carry her shaking body. Drenched in sweat, tears and rain. She could never remove those images from her mind, never remove the guilt of her being responsible for her fathers death, her Cousin meeting the same fate she did. Her Mother had made her see a Therapist ever since they moved to England. It helped maybe a little, but it didn’t help take the torture of her dreams away and maybe she didn’t want that. Maybe she always wanted to be reminded of that night so she‘d never forget what she was and what she was responsible for. She now lived because her father couldn’t anymore and that day a large part of her being had died with him.

Character Backstory:

Reducio

Jun Physical Description:
Jun Mayumi Mochizuki stands at 4'5 in height, with a petite and sporty figure. She mirrors a put together, tidy and organized look that also shows in her clothing style. Her black hair reaches just beneath her collarbones and shines with dark brown highlights. Matching her hair color, Jun's almond shaped eyes are a dark brown with light sparks in them, especially when the sun hits them. Her skin is a light tan color, full pinkish red lips complimenting the light natural blush that spreads across her cheeks and nose. Other than that, her skin is always clear and soft without a single pore to be seen. To complete her perfect appearance, Jun has a beautiful bright smile with perfect white teeth and dimples forming in her cheeks. The only thing destroying that perfect appearance is where she was bit, which was on her left shoulder. Another scratch along her right ribcage is also a thorn in her eye. She always tries to keep both covered up by clothing.

Jun Mental Description:
Languages Spoken: Japanese | English | French
Jun possesses a high level of intelligence and does not need to study to achieve the best grades possible, however that is not the only area she uses her intelligence in. She loves engaging in educational conversations and debating her point of view with harsh arguments. Jun analyzes the people surrounding her and pays attention to every little detail that could be helpful to her. She values truthfulness and trustworthy people but is not always one herself. Jun is a rather cunning and ambitious girl and can be rather cold, to those that do not behave nicely. Like her family, she looks out for wealth, status and usefulness, but also for the ability to keep secrets. Jun has no problem using her peers to gain power and benefit from them. It is hard to get to her, she has a certain coldness to her, destroying her enemies silently. However, Jun is also charming and carries a genuine politeness, passion and enthusiasm. If you do not get on her bad side, there is no reason to worry. She would not let you know that she is using you, doing so in such an unnoticeable way. None of this is because Jun desperately wishes to be dishonest but more so because she wishes to be liked and respected.
Even though it may not sound like it, beneath all this, Jun is a kind child. She tries hard not to displease her Mother and inside she is just a hurting soul, still grieving her father and condition, scared to get close to someone in case they leave, just like Saburo did. She would not hurt a fly but also does not step back from protecting herself or those close to her.
Jun aims for skill and power of her own magic too. She would never admit it, but failing is one of her biggest fears.
In her free time she enjoys reading and playing the harp. Jun loves the outdoors and enjoys the occasional walk but would rather go on a broom or horse ride. She enjoys sports quite a lot and would never say no to an activity such as swimming or ice skating.

Backstory:
The Mochizuki Family is a wealthy, honored and well known family in Japan. They are highly traditional and care a lot about Education, Status and Wealth. Throughout the years, they have spun a wide net of connections to hundreds of Pureblood families all over the world, all useful to gain power or other conveniences. Saburo is the third child of Haruto and Megumi Mochizuki, who have five sons in total as well as two daughters. All of the Mochizuki children are married and either stationed in Asia or Europe, all wealthy with large estates and important Careers. Marriage of Convenience is, as expected, something the Mochizuki Family does and approves of, only one of their Children married out of love, not convenience. That child was not Saburo but you could not say that he did not love Reina when their betrothal was arranged. Like the Mochizuki's, the Hirano family values wealth, tradition and education as well as their social status. Saburo and Reina were both homeschooled but met on several occasions such as Balls, Events and Gatherings.

They had become friends quickly, sharing their wish of a life abroad someday and the love for the harp. Their Parents picked up on that quite soon, discussing their children's relationship when they started taking horse riding lessons together with their siblings. It had originally been planned that Tsumugi, one of Reinas three sisters, would marry Saburo at some point, but that soon got changed when Saburo expressed the wish to take his harp lessons with Reina from now on. It was not taken into account that these two were merely friends and Reina showed no interest in Saburo romantically. Their marital ceremony was done when they were 18, tying them together for life. Neither of them loved one another in the romantic way they had both wished for but they did love each other in a different way.

Together, they started to fulfill their dream of moving abroad. A lot of their free time was spent searching for the perfect place to move and carefully going over property. They moved to Kyōto, not too far away from their beloved family. While Saburo started his training as an Auror, Reina specialized in the Department of Magical law enforcement and worked for a private Pureblood Law Firm. Both still had immediate connections to Pureblood families, attending Galas and Balls on a regular basis. In October 2012, Reina found out she was pregnant. Saburo was 28 at that point, while Reine was 23. On July 25 2013 their first daughter was born. Jun Mayumi Mochizuki. They adored their precious little wonder and would try for another about a year later. Sadly, Reina miscarried. This happened another time in the following years, which resulted in the couple stopping their attempts with heavy hearts. Jun Mayumi Mochizuki is now the only daughter of Reina Hirano and Saburo Mochizuki. She has always been told to be polite, elegant and put together. As the only daughter of the Mochizuki's, she is meant to bring honor and wealth to her family and marry rich, to a pureblood son of an honored Family someday.

Before Attending Hogwarts, Jun was homeschooled on a high level of Education. Her parents raised her trilingual, meaning she was taught Japanese, English and French. Of course, growing up in a pureblood family, Jun was not only taught more than one language but far more. The Harp, as it is a loved instrument by both her parents, was taught to Jun quite early as well as playing the piano. Etiquette Lessons were of course something Jun had to attend as well, including several dances and the proper way with words. Horse riding, Archery, Fencing, Tennis and Swimming were included in her physical activities as well as ballet or Ice Skating. To finish her education off, Jun always had several nonfiction and fiction books to read while growing up, arts and crafts were always a part of her day and chess was taught to her quite early on as well. Overall Jun had quite a happy, loving and educational childhood, receiving love from both her parents when they were at home. She was always brought along for gatherings and balls and whenever her parents were not available, Jun was able to spend a night with her family or her parents would let one of the housekeepers stay overnight, as they already had quite a large amount of staff to take care of the rest of the house.

In 2023 there was a crucial hit that split this loving family into pieces and shattered Jun's little heart. Saburo was killed in an effort to save his daughter and niece. While a werewolf tried to get into the room that Mey and Jun were hidden in, he was attacked. It happened fast and when the news arrived that morning at St.Mungos, Reina broke down crying. The funeral was held two weeks later when Jun was recovered enough to attend, though the young girl didn’t really feel anything at all anymore at the time. Not even the pounding bite in her shoulder. Jun could still remember thousands of black clothed families wishing her their condolences but none could reduce the numbing pain inside her heart. No one could bring her kind and loving O tōsan (Father/Dad) back or turn back time and prevent everything from happening. From that moment on, Reinas and Jun's lives changed drastically.

Not long after this, Reina decided it would be best for Jun and her to finally leave Japan. Their home abroad had been built a year before and she now wished to finally fulfill the dream Saburo had always dreamed with her. To Absquatulate. Something had held her back or gotten in the way each time they were supposed to leave Japan, she wouldn’t wait any longer. It took a week to pack everything up and ship it off to the UK, another couple days to get there. They settled into their home in the Yorkshire Dales and Reina got a job in the Ministry of Magic, continuing her career in the Department of Magical Law. Her daughter didn’t have a say in it. Jun inherited all that belonged to Saburo, as she was his rightful heir. Their home abroad belonged to her, his property, his treasures, everything. A heavy burden to put on a child. Reina hoped that life abroad would help Jun in still being a child and grieving without the watchful eyes of every wealthy Japanese family who knew what had been laid upon the young girl. She would be able to attend Hogwarts without anyone knowing of her condition. In the UK, Reina and Jun mostly keep to themselves. They rarely ever go to gatherings and other events now.

First Instance of Magic:

Reducio

Jun's first instance of Magic occured in 2018 on her 5th birthday - during a weekend they celebrated in London, England. In honesty, her parents had been worried about their daughter, as their own first accidental Magic had happened quite early on.
It was a warm summer morning, Jun's parents were taking her for breakfast in a beautiful expensive hotel with Jun's favorite flowers everywhere and every food she asked for. The white Tulips mixed in with the scent of fresh pastries and the little girl looked like a princess with her soft pink dress, sitting between the flowers. After their breakfast, they were brought up to the rooftop to enjoy the sights. When they arrived at the top, Jun could not be held back and she ran to the railings, pushing herself up with all her might so she could see above the stone wall. Screams of worry were exclaimed by her parents but before they could get to her, Jun lost balance and fell forwards, nothing there to hold her. It was a sight of horror as the little girl fell from the railing and into the air. Saburo was already at the edge, ready to jump after his daughter but when he set foot on the stone railing, Jun stopped falling mid air, long enough for her Father to cast Wingardium Leviosa to pull the small girl back up.

This is a small thing, but it always gets difficult when people use superlatives. You don't get to claim best/richest/any other one of a kind, but that is very close.

2) Please make a mention of Jun receiving medical care after her attack.

Sole child of fashion designers, Jiho and Jung-Hwa Park. Nabi is an english national, born in Norwich, with Korean descent. As a pure-blood, she was surrounded by those of the same blood status growing up. The Park family is known for their lineage of strong witches and wizards as well as their high fashion designs.
Nabi has been expected to always excel in everything she does since before she recieved her letter acceptance into Hogwarts. Thus, she was taught various topics throughout her childhood, some may say privlidged beyond right. Her primary goal is to make sure she excels her parent's expectations. She carries with her a family heirloom, a white and silver jade norigae. Something that not only remembers her of those before her and their greatness, but of the expectations that she has over her.
Nabi is the first of the Park bloodline to enroll into Hogwarts, as prior to her, all members attended Durmstrang Institute. She was to be enrolled just like those before her, but her mother wanted Nabi to try Hogwarts for a change.
Her usual daily routines before/when not attending Hogwarts are rather calm; waking up to make a pot of english breakfast tea and a bowl of berries well enjoy a nice bowl of bone broth to wake up before getting ready to start her day with a light run with her father. After which she heads over to the market with her mother and browses through the produce and goods, before making her way back home, where she studies, reads, or simply takes a stroll through the family garden.

Thank you for making the word count! Your backstory needs to be copied from your encyclopedia to here so that we have a copy of it on both pages.

Additionally, I would recommend mentioning that Nabi did her routine of going out to the market with a chaperone, such as a parent or nanny, because remember that Nabi is likely 5-10 years old when she does this. I don't believe it would be safe for her to go out on her own.

Unbeknownst to Yağmur, his mother's magic was not arcane like his father's, but seeped in the alluring majesty of shrouded Veela origins. Before Miray had found her way into the wizarding village of Montrose, the graceful woman roamed Lake Hazar in Türkiye among sunken ruins and her fellow alabaster-haired sisters. The Veela, though young, was not naive when it came to the men who wandered across their watery territory. While her sisters lured men in with their song and graceful movements, Miray was not interested in entertaining rugged adventurers who had nothing in their purse but inflated egos and stories laden with obvious exaggerations.

It wasn't until a man draped in extravagant robes and glittering with jewels stacked upon his fingers and strung throughout elegant threads that Miray found herself as enchanted as the men her sisters lured into the water. Over the next few nights, Miray would visit the man's camp, drawn by the gold and jewels that glistened like sunlight upon the familiar waves of her home. Though the language barrier barred them from deeper conversation, Miray's song acted as the bridge between their worlds. The young woman learned that the man was a...what did he call it in his strange tongue? A proprietor? An offer soon followed for Miray to join him on his travel back to his homeland where he would showcase her singing to thousands and dress her in fine silks and jewels to match his own. By the time Miray was settled in the man's shambled inn, the mirage of riches and fame had worn off. The people she sung to were not upstanding wizarding folk, but unsavory urchins who happened to stumble through the doors looking for a drink (and to be swindled later). Far from familiar waters and surrounded by the grime of the seedy wizarding village, escape was not an option. Not that she hadn't tried, but without a sickle to her name, the Veela would not get far before stranding herself. And so Miray would continue to perform her melancholy melody, hoping to lure a foolish man that would give up his purse for her song.

It would be another three years before a burly man by the name of Morogh Harrow sauntered into the inn. His beard was a fierce tangle of black briars that was indistinguishable from his tousled hair that obscured his face like a lion's mane. When Miray's song fell on his ears, the man was entranced by the alabaster-haired woman and would return every night that his ministry work brought him to the village. Morogh wanted the Veela's song for himself, going as far as to pay her debt towards the innkeeper and brought Miray to his elegant home in the wizarding village of Montrose. Soon after, Miray fell pregnant with the wizard's child, delaying her intent to return to Lake Hazar once again. While her husband was abroad curse-breaking treasure, Miray would spend her solitude devising a plan to return to her sisters. Before Yağmur's birth, Miray had stumbled upon her husband's spare portkey in the drawer of his desk, a glimmer of hope in the cold December night. She held onto the portkey until the birth of her son, only activating it when she was sure her husband would not follow suit.

For three years, Miray and Yağmur managed to escape Morogh's iron grasp, blending into the nearby Turkish wizarding village near Lake Hazar. With a half-breed child still on her hip, Miray's sisters met them with a hostile temperament, forcing the new mother to find solace in fellow banished sisters who had found a similar fate to her. When her husband finally tracked down his absent wife and son, Miray had exhausted her options and returned to the Harrow manor, realizing her son would be an outcast with arcane blood tainting his Veela ancestry. With his mother's silence and memories away from Harrow manor muddled by his youth, Yağmur's knowledge of his Veela ancestry faded and replaced by pureblood mentality instilled by his father.

Reducio

Yağmur was born into the illustrious wizard Harrow family by his Scottish father, Morogh Harrow, and his new wife, Miray. That December night had been especially frightful for the new mother, candlelight casting warped shadows on the wall of her and the midwife. Morogh was absent as usual, perhaps on another ministry assignment or wooing whoever fell for his exaggerated tales. The frigid wind's howling and Miray's pleading in her mother tongue was a haunting duet. A new voice emerged a few moments later from the bundle of blankets swaddling a newborn, his wild tufts of hair as bright as his mother's lace gown. Yağmur would be quickly whisked away from the manor by portkey as his Veela mother fled her cage. For three years, they would lay low in a village in Miray's native land, overlooking the lake Miray had been torn from by cruel fate. Though Morogh shared similarities with the great bear upon the Harrow crest, his greed and jealousy matched that of a dragon who's hoard had been stolen from. Searching from the day he discovered his home void of both his wife and promised heir, the wizard scoured the wizarding realm until he happened upon their refuge. His already iron grasp became unrelenting and the Harrow manor became more of an elegant prison than home.

Before Yağmur's birth, Morogh had been previously married to a frail woman named Lilidh and fathered Yağmur's half-sister, Ursa. Shortly after Lilidh's death, Morogh fell for the charming Miray, a young woman with a dulcet voice and alabaster curls. The singer paid the burly man no mind, ignoring his advances until he promised her what she could not find in the hovel of an inn: fame. Unfortunately, fame never did find the alabaster-haired beauty. Instead, her voice only fell upon the beastly man's ears for he was jealous and sought to cage her free spirit. Many years spent in the Harrow mansion have made the woman bitter and already lacking in maternal instinct, a poor mother to both her blood and her husband's.

The boy often doubted his parentage as he lacked the rugged, ebony hair and eyes as dark as ink many Harrow men before him had possessed. Yağmur's obscured Veela heritage reflected in his porcelain curls and a temperament that matched his mother's before her silence dampened any fight left in her. His elder sister's taunting did nothing to quell his worry. Despite carrying his father's name and responsibilities as heir to the centuries old family, Yağmur could not feel more removed from the daunting man. The acceptance letter flown in by owl was the boy's ticket to escaping the lonely confines of the mansion and the expectations of his father.

A petulant child already at the age of six, Yağmur found himself more at odds than peace with the other children of the wizarding village. On this particular morning, he decided to pick a fight with a group of boys four years his senior who had barged past him. His snide tongue had provoked the leader of the group into a chase with Yağmur barely able to keep out of arm's reach. What little distance Yağmur gained was now halted by a tall cobblestone wall of a dead end street. The stubborn Harrow boy turned to face the broad-shouldered leader of the pack just in time to see a fist flying towards his face. Bracing himself for an impact to the cheek, Yağmur scrunched his face up into a flinch, only to feel a faint whoosh of air against his skin. The older boy's fist had bounced off of Yağmur like rubber and sent the force right back into his arm, knocking the leader on his rump. There was a couple of curses exchanged between the two before the taller boy picked himself up from the ground, brushing dirt off his clothes and muttering as he turned and left with what dignity remained.
