Gael Drake | First Year | Slytherin
Name: Gael Drake
Age: 11 (D.O.B: 30/11/2013)
Residence: Liverpool, England
Wand: 32,6 cm willow wood and unicorn hair
House: Slytherin
Blood Status: Half-Blood
Physical Description: Gael has short dark auburn hair that's often tousled and not often neatly combed. His eye colour is hazel and often carries an expression of curiosity of his surrounding area. He has fair skin with no blemishes to speak of. He stands at 4"9' tall.
Mental Description: Gael is often curious about many things he finds himself in. He'll often ask questions to better understand the topic he's asking about, but has no qualms about showing off when he's in his depth, even if it embarrasses or outright shames others when he does so.
Character Backstory: Gael was born in Liverpool on the 30th November, 2013. He was born a Drake, a family who's lineage goes back to a foreign Pure-blooded family located somewhere in Norway. Gael doesn't fully know where or even what the original family name was, as his Father felt he should not divulge the information on it to his son. The Drake family is, unlike the main family, a Half-Blooded family as they felt it would be better to look outwards to the ingenuity of muggle inventions to find greater ambition, rather than blindly follow the ambitions of traditional Wizards. Gael's Father was more traditional than his ancestors forefathers however, as he wanted Gael to grow up knowing the Wizarding World from the start and would personally tutor him on basic education to prepare him for a life in Hogwarts. His Mother, however, felt he needed to understand where he was coming from, and she would often show Gael the wonders of the Muggle World, taking him to Muggle shows, ordinary non-magical parks and trips to larger metropolitan areas, such as Liverpool City Centre. One day, when Gael was 6, when his Mother was doing one such trip to a muggle park, Gael would begin getting bullied by a Muggle Boy. He would constantly harass Gael until finally, Gael shouted at him to get away, causing an unnatural gust of wind to knock the boy over. His Mother realised what had happened, that this was Gael's first instance of accidental magic, and so she quickly left with Gael. Gael would spend most of his days inching more towards enjoying a Wizards lifestyle more than a Muggle's lifestyle, until finally he received his letter of acceptance into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry, solidifying his wish to fully embrace the Wizarding World and completely leave behind his old Muggle life, much to his Mother's dismay.
First Instance of Magic: Gael's first instance of accidental wandless magic happened when he was 6 years old. His Mother had taken him to a park to enjoy more of the "muggle life" that his Mother wanted him to know. When another Muggle boy came up to him and started bullying him, Gael yelled at him to get away, causing a sudden gust of wind to push the boy back, toppling him to the ground. The Muggle boy ran away unharmed, and Gael's Mother took him back home.
