Reducio

Emil is the youngest of three siblings in the loud, disruptive, and still loving Scovich family. Two parents who worked in the Ministry, a oldest brother who was a Quidditch professional, a sharp sister that was on her own track to being a historian or archivist...and humble, happy little Emil. The Scovich line is mostly a wizarding line, though there are just a few Muggles too many in the family history for people to consider them ‘pure blood’ — a sentiment that the family has always been perfectly fine with.

Emil’s childhood was filled with seeking out quiet nooks and crannies in the family home to read, play with puzzles and riddles, and experiment on whatever had their fancy at the moment. However, as they got older, their experiments became...well, certainly not dangerous! Not at all! So what if they were armed with their mother's old Beater bat and laying in wait outside an old toy chest in the attic for a Boggart to show up? They needed to test their 'resilience to mundane blunt force trauma.' After all, Emil needed to know these things to protect themself without magic as an underage child! And what if they truly were experimenting with some of the kitchen spices and Potions ingredients from their father's pantry (a series of experiments that their siblings woefully misunderstood as 'trying to make magic pepper spray')? And if some of their siblings old textbooks mysteriously wound up in Emil's room way before they were prepared or ready to truly do anything described in them...well, who could be upset with them reading ahead? To Emil, information and knowledge were means to an end - solutions to carry in a back pocket for whatever puzzle or riddle the world threw their own way or their family's.

First Instance of Magic

Reducio

Emil’s first instance of magic was on the roof of their family’s house in Galway at the age of eight. While getting frustrated with a particularly stubborn puzzle, they let their frustrations out by kicking the house’s chimney — and accidentally turning the entire upper quarter of it into a neon pink array of flowering blossoms.
Their parents were both amused and yet still playfully ribbing Emil about the incident to this current day. It even led to their mother’s affectionnate nickname for them: ‘Cherry Blossom.’
