Physical Description: Patton is a 140 cm (~4’7”) young boy. His eyes, a deep brown, are striking against his pale complexion. His hair, a lighter brown, is almost always slicked back, with a few stray hairs, here and there. He also has pierced ears and normally wears small silver earrings.

Mental Description: Patton has no known mental illnesses, but he’s always had a strange obsession with rocks. No one knows why, he doesn’t even know why, but he does. He tries to be kind to everyone, as he’s learned from his family that being patient with people who have questions is always best. Whenever he notices someone needing help, he always reaches out, a kind smile on his face.

Biography: Patton was born as an only child to Dennis, his wizard father, and Audrey, his muggle mother, on January 4, 2014. From the moment he was born, he was labeled as unusual, due to the contrast of his pale skin and his dark eyes. His mother was worried, but the doctors told her that Pat just took after his dad, which quickly reassured Audrey because Dennis seemed normal enough.

That is, until Patton started displaying signs of magic. At this point, Dennis was forced to tell Audrey about the magical world and the fact that he is a dhampir and his dad is a vampire. Audrey took it well, surprisingly, but she decided that it was Dennis’s job to tell Patton when he got a little older.

So, Patton lived the first seven years as a normal kid who would hang out with his few friends and doodle during math class, blissfully unaware of anything that would make him “abnormal.” He did eventually notice that strange things happened when his emotions were heightened, for example, the nearest pencil would snap whenever he got angry.

After this happened multiple times, Pat consulted his parents. Dennis took the opportunity to explain the basics about the wizarding world, however, he did forget to mention that he was a dhampir, which was revealed a couple months later. Patton was a bit miffed that his dad continuously neglected to mention important details, but he is appreciative that Dennis is always patient and understanding with him.

When Patton got his Hogwarts letter, he was outside looking for rocks when a large owl landed on a park bench nearby. He read the letter and took it to his dad and they went shopping the next day, and now here he is in his first year at Hogwarts.

First Instance of Magic: When Patton was about 3 years old, he woke up from his nap and waddled out to the living room. His Ma would never forget looking into his eyes that were supposed to be deep brown and finding, for a couple seconds, that they were a bright blue. His Ma then called for his Pop to come look, at which point, Pop had to carefully explain to Ma that the wizarding world exists and that their son is a wizard.
