[td][color=#397a84]Appearance[/color]
[reducio][font=cursive][color=#397a84]A[/color][/font]chille, much like the Greek hero for which he was named, has striking blue eyes with blonde hair, accompanied with a smattering of freckles. At 11, he is tall for his age, coming in at around 4'11" and expected to get even taller. He can often be seen in rather formal wear, with his school robes always perfectly refined and in proper order. He has a birthmark vaguely in the shape of a peace symbol on one of his wrists, along with a few very faint scars- one along his eyebrow, and some on his back that are mostly hidden by his clothing. These are from the accident referenced in his history. Do not ask about these scars, he will not tell you how he got them. It is a bit of a sore subject.[/reducio][/td]

[i]Raised by two loving mothers, Lisette and Genevieve Lévesque-Auclair, Achille was brought up in a very supportive home. The two women had met at University and eventually married in 2015. After a few years and discussion, Lis and Gen decided they'd like to raise a child together, and agreed to adopt. After fostering Achille for only a few months, the two immediately fell in love with the child and took him in as their own. Achille's previous/biological parents suffered in a severe car accident when Achille was only five, and he was the only survivor. For a while, Achille refused to warm up to his new guardians, and was prone to throwing a temper, as he was incredibly confused and frustrated as to where his "real" parents had gone, and why they had been replaced with Lisette and Genevieve. The car accident had also left him with major auditory loss in his right ear, and this was also frustrating to navigate as he had to get used to relying more on his left. His hearing aid also took some time to get used to, and Achille initially hated the feeling of it in his ear, refusing to wear it and going so far as to hide from Lis or Gen whenever they tried putting it on his ear in the mornings.

But, gradually, and with time, Achille's memories of his biological parents became less and less vivid in his mind, and he eventually came to accept that, while Lis and Gen would love nothing more for him to be able to see his real parents again, he couldn't. He also eventually got used to wearing his hearing aid, although it later became a bit of an insecurity, as his peers often made fun of the device and his partial deafness. When he got older and was better able to understand and process the heaviness of his situation- the accident, his parents' deaths-- Achille was grateful that Lisette and Genevieve had had the generosity and the patience to take him in and raise them as their own. It couldn't have been easy, those first few months of frustrated tantrums where Achille would yell in French that he wanted his [i]real[/i] mother, and that the two women had stolen him from his parents, or had hidden his parents somewhere in some twisted game of hide-and-seek. No, it definitely was not easy. Especially when Achille was full of surprises along the way. Just when things had sort of calmed down, and Lis and Gen had the nerve to believe that they now finally understood their son after several long and hard months, he surprised them by being a wizard.

Achille was 7 years old when it happened, playing a game of [i]Operation[/i] with Genevieve in between lessons for homeschooling, and he was having difficulty getting the tiny game pieces out of the equally tiny holes in the game board without the buzzer sounding obnoxiously. Frustrated, Achille threw down the tweezers and let out a groan, beating his fists down onto the carpeted floor beside him. When he did so, each remaining game piece in the board shot up and out of the holes and straight up towards the ceiling. They hovered just above Gen and Achille's heads for a few moments-- both mother and son gaping in awe at what had happened-- before falling promptly down to the carpet. Genevieve immediately called Lisette into the room, unsure of what she had just witnessed. When she recounted what had just happened, Lisette stared back at her wife in disbelief. 

"C'est impossible, vous décrivez la magie... La magie n'est pas réelle." [revelio](That's impossible, you're describing magic... magic isn't real.)[/revelio] The two women looked over to their son, who, unperturbed, had resorted to collecting the game pieces off of the floor. Completely unaffected and too young to disbelieve what he'd just done, Achille looked up at Lis with a cheeky smile. The woman, slightly frazzled, only ruffled the child's hair before leaving the room. Genevieve watched her wife go before sitting back down with Achille, still processing everything herself.

Some time later, Lisette reached out to her sister, Amélie, with whom she had not really spoken to in the better part of a few years. According to their brother, Claude (Lis's source of all information regarding her immediate family, as she'd been more-or-less disowned as a result of eloping with Genevieve), Amélie's husband, Sebastian, was an attorney for some mystery organization, and most of their children attended a boarding school in Scotland. Not much else was really known about the way Amélie's family lived, no specifics, just handfuls of vague information. This was enough for Genevieve to suggest to Lis that, perhaps, magic was indeed real, and that Amélie could, on the off-chance, know a thing or two about it. It was a long shot, but the two women (especially Genevieve) wanted to form an understanding about their son. After some e-mails back and forth, Amélie disclosed to Lis that, yes, her husband and children were wizards -- not 'magicians' as Lis had deemed them when asking about them -- and that the boarding school they attended was specifically for magic. She said how Sebastian had initially described how Hogwarts isn't the only school of its kind, and how there were several others around the world, with Beauxbatons being the closest to Lis and Gen's household in Lille. It was a lot to take in, but by the time Achille received his acceptance letter in the mail a few years later, they had come to terms with their son's apparent wizarding status.[/i][/center]
