Physical description.
The first thing that tends to jump out at people about Thales is his height. He is tall, already — for an 11 year old, extremely so, standing at 151cm, or almost 5 feet even. He carries himself with confidence that insists upon itself, until you too, believe, it was rightfully earned, and not merely the result of a bloated wallet. Thales has a habit of looking down his nose at people; even if they are taller than him, in which case he will be happy to tilt his chin up proudly just to continue looking at whoever he's currently patronizing with a smug grin. He grins a lot, in fact — sometimes with ego, sometimes to cover up how badly (and easily) that very same ego has been bruised. He has dimples in the sides of his cheeks. He has black hair which he wears short and deep brown eyes.

Mental description.
The most common first impression most people have of Thales is that he’s very, very rich. That one is correct — his parents hold high positions in the Brazilian government, and the version of the Amaro family that he was born into has never had to struggle for anything. The second most common impression most people have is the striking assumption that he must be an only child. Unlike the previous, this one is incorrect. Thales is the oldest of four siblings, all brothers, born in Washington, DC, and raised in a São Paulo penthouse.

Whichever jumps out to people first, Thales would be happy with. He is, above all else, confident to the point of arrogance, and considers it flattering to outshine everyone and anyone in status, including his younger brothers. He is polite enough not to interrupt his father at state dinners, though not polite enough to be taken to them too often. The diplomat passports of both his parents have instead allowed him to travel the world, and with each renewed passport and visa stamp, Thales grows in his conviction that he really is the smartest person he has ever met.

Before being accepted to Castelobruxo, Thales attended an elite international school. It was muggle in its curriculum, which might have been perhaps the worst thing about Thales’ life so far — only speaking to how untroubled the rest of it is. Still, his mother insisted, and he is nothing but his parents’ golden boy. He was well-connected and athletic, which quickly earned him popularity, a trend he continued after moving onto his magical education. His favorite sport to watch is Quidditch, and when found among other fans of the sport will gladly lie and say he dislikes muggle sports; he was captain of the soccer team at his muggle school.

All of this adds up to Thales Amaro. Very, very rich, and very surprisingly, not an only child. Someone who is as familiar with the VIP lounge of an airport as he is with a locker room; someone who thinks he’s better than you, and is not afraid to let you know it.

School. Castelobruxo.
School year. Second.

Backstory.
Thales was born at precisely 03:09 AM on December 17th. He came into the world quietly — the kind of silence that, coming from a newborn, made hearts stop for a single beat with quiet worry. The moment that nurses, doctors, and both his parents looked at him with concern, however, Thales quickly got loud. After asserting his presence (and that he was, indeed, perfectly healthy) that fateful night, he has not stopped asserting himself since.

The Amaro family that Thales was born into was one new, but already established in the wizarding world. His father, Óscar Amaro, was a muggle-born wizard, coming from a perfectly average family living on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro — making enough money to get by, but nowhere near to afford anything close to luxury Óscar yearned for. Thales’ mother, Eva, originally de Medeiros, came from a pure-blood family that had long since lost any prestige their name used to carry. She lived in the more upper class, old neighborhoods of Saõ Paulo, her family using up the last of their savings to maintain their old home and ensure Eva, as the “heiress”, would get a proper education; even if that word had stopped meaning much to a family with little remaining capital, social or economic, to speak of.

Óscar and Eva's paths crossed after they both graduated from university with degrees in Law and Wizarding International Relations respectively. They both took to work in government, one on the muggle side, and one on the wizarding. They matched each other easily — the kind of drive that drove them into a friendly rivalry, at first, and later, a sincere and passionate romance. Eva continued working her way up, and soon became an official diplomat for the Ministério da Magia Brasileiro. She was quickly joined there by her newly-wed husband, who, with the new connections in the wizarding world his wife brought, pivoted and found a job there as a muggle-wizard liaison. Together, they were a force to be reckoned with, and after their marriage, they made Amaro into a name to watch, gaining recognition in the space of wizarding law and international relations.

Thanks to Eva’s job as a diplomat, Thales was born in Washington, DC, as were two of his three younger brothers. Growing up, the family often switched between their multiple residences — most commonly between Washington, New York City, as well as Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. Though his parents’ jobs were demanding, they always highly valued family, and Thales never lacked for anything from either his mother and father. When Eva was abroad and unable to take the children with her, Óscar was sure to take care of both Thales and his siblings; and when urgent cases called Óscar away to either Rio or any matter of places across Brazil, Eva always made time and arrangements to be with her kids. When it so coincided that neither of them were able to stay with their family, Thales and his younger brothers were taken care of by their grandparents. The Amaro’s permanent residence is, thus, officially in São Paulo — a penthouse in the city centre, where Eva’s parents would easily be able to help babysit if the need ever arose. Still, moving around and traveling often during his early years made Thales very comfortable on the move, and he’s visited the majority of the world’s continents at least once.

Thales’ life prior to arriving at Hogwarts was quite happy. His biggest issue was having to attend a muggle school, but even there, he was able to quickly fit in, find friends, and enjoy whatever popularity elementary school can hold. He grew up in a far more comfortable position than both his parents, and, thanks to their endless care, assets, and fixing of whatever mistakes he’s come to make, he’s developed an acute belief that he’s better than most anyone he’s ever met. He knows, on a level more subconscious than anything, that consequences are not something that can touch him — and can therefore come off as spoiled or arrogant. Thales’ position as the oldest son has also given him more confidence than one could believe an eleven year old to have. This extends to his relationships with his younger brothers: though having some sort of protective instinct towards Simon, Davi, and Lucas, they are not immune from being seen as a little bit beneath his level.

When Thales’ invitation to Castelobruxo arrived, he was far from surprised. All he felt was excitement and a sense of deep rightness, somewhere in his chest. Now that he would be properly learning magic, he would be able to follow in his parents’ footsteps; determined to make his name one to watch out for.

First instance of magic.
Thales’ first instance of magic came when he was six years old. His brother, Davi, was about one at the time — and just about everything he did caused spectacle within the family. None, however, was larger, of course, than Davi’s first steps. They came during a pleasant day in the balmy sun of São Paulo’s October. Eva’s mother, Vitória, had taken Thales, Simon, and Davi for the day, and they were spending it in the backyard of Eva’s old family home — freshly renovated with new-found Amaro funds.

Thales and Simon busied themself playing tag, whilst Davi remained sitting in the grass under his grandmother’s watchful eye — and it was right as Thales was celebrating his victory against Simon as Davi managed to pull himself up and take a few shaky steps, all on his own, before ultimately flopping back down into his grandma’s lap. Vitória was overjoyed, of course; Thales, however, did not find it particularly impressive. He could walk, too — not only that, he had just been winning at tag, a running based game. That was obviously far better than a few very weak steps, right?

Jealous of all the attention his baby brother was getting, Thales’ frustration quickly mounted into a tantrum. Little fists clenched at his sides, face scrunched up in anger and eyes filling with tears, he stomped his foot — and as he did, all the newly-installed window panes broke in their freshly renovated window frames. Of course, the loud crashes quickly led to both him, and Simon, and Davi, beginning to wail loudly, and it wasn’t until Vitória was able to calm all three of the young boys down that she realised she was witness to two great milestones that day.
