Philip possesses that bright-eyed, cheerful energy in his delicate and carefully polished features. Silky jet black hair falls in layers around his face, bouncing lightly as he moves around. Beneath the slightly long fringe brushing his forehead are thick brows and large, doe-like obsidian eyes that are round and expressive, framed by long eyelashes. He has a heart-shaped face softened by the fullness of his cheeks, with a refined nose and soft lips. Small and slender, he has an ivory and luminous complexion. When smiling, his whole face lights up with a dimple appearing on the right cheek.

Philip is the sort of person who slips into other people's personal spaces before either party fully realises it. Pretty, expressive, playful, and occasionally a little insufferable, he enjoys interactions with people, eagerly seeking attention and reactions from those around him. A spoiled child, Philip is shamelessly nosy and reckless, his comments often coming across as snarky. Somewhere between charming and exhausting, many find him both at once.

Despite enjoying being adored and wanted, Philip isn't too bothered by random dislikes, caring little about his reputation or how acquaintances perceive him. However, having lost his mother at the age of six, Philip's valued attachments run deep. He is fiercely loyal and protective of those who really enter his heart. Unusually sensitive to their opinions and approval, he becomes jealous and clingy when he senses signs of exclusion and replacement.

Temporarily fostered by his father's extended family during his childhood, Philip discovered that sweetness could melt people. Behaving well and looking innocent make others gentler towards him, and they forgive him more easily when he does something wrong and poses as exceptionally guilty, insisting it's completely unintentional. It is more of an instinct, batting his eyelashes innocently and dragging out a "please" to get closer to what he wants. Some fall for it; some see through it but indulge him anyway. And if it does not work at once, he becomes persistent, tackling the matter with much patience and actively altering strategies.

While Philip works diligently toward big goals and attempts everything he can, his ambition mostly comes from his admiration for his high-achieving parents and elder brother. If not driven by this, he would have been less motivated, even a bit lazy at times. Philip is easily excited and has a wide range of interests, but doesn't really stick to any of them. Quick-witted and instinctive, he is clever but not as exceptionally intelligent as the rest of his family, and certainly lacks their maturity, being rather childish and naïve.

ep 01 | milena, gareth, and carys (1982 - 2001)
Image posted by the member
THE GRANDPARENTS · When 20-year-old Milena Petak first set foot on the bustling streets of Cardiff, Wales, she was completely lost. A full-blooded Veela travelling all the way from Eastern Europe to visit a family friend working in the fashion industry which she had been hoping to enter, she refused their cordial offer of meeting her at the harbour, determined to find her own way through the city with accented English and a folded map that no longer seemed to make sense. Stumbling upon the muggle districts, she ended up pondering outside the windows of a small café, and accidentally locked eyes with a young man sitting inside beside the other side of the glass. [...]
Reducio
Gareth Rosser, 22, freshly out of the University of Cardiff with a BA in English Literature and an aspiring screenwriter, spent most of his days in the cafeteria doing unstable media work while working on his second script. It was just another normal day for him if he hadn't happened to want to catch a glimpse of the sky amidst his writing. They were both pretty sure that they found their respective muse in that split second: him staring at her unearthly beauty and elegant demeanour; her being drawn to his sculpturesque features and artistic air. Gareth stood up and strode to the entrance, holding the door for her, while Milena graced her way in.

A black coffee and a Victoria Sponge Cake were the start of their love. Upon their fifth date he learnt that she was no ordinary human. Though shocked, he wasn't too bothered, having always had a great interest in mythology and folklore since his university years. He asked for her hand in the summer; Carys came into the world a year later. She was a beautiful baby, mostly taking after her mother, but had Gareth's brown hair. Milena was slightly disappointed, taking great pride in her glossy golden hair. But still, she was their little angel, and they bestowed her a name meaning "love".

They might have been a little too impatient to hop into marriage and parenthood, as conflict started to emerge. Both were ambitious. Yet Milena had talent, while Gareth was mediocre. Milena was calculating; Gareth was dreamy. The passion slowly died out. Big dreams unfulfilled, Gareth started to retreat into a world of delusion, but Milena really had a blooming career as a fashion designer, already in charge of a boutique by the time Carys turned three. When Carys was five, she experienced her first magic. And when she was seven, her parents divorced, Milena choosing to leave the household.

Milena's early leave left a hole in both Carys's and her father's hearts. Gareth was out of spirits ever since the divorce; as he aged and still had no significantly recognised work, it was clear that he might never receive a BAFTA award that he had been craving for. Frequently turning to alcohol and tobacco when he was out of inspiration, his health got worse over the years. Seeing her father like that, Carys understood Milena's choice, but she still cared for her father deeply. While Carys seldom referred to her family background during her Hogwarts years, it wasn't a mystery to her close circle of friends. The heritages were both part of her, and she had never been ashamed of them.

CLASSIFIED · Philip’s Veela heritage is not common knowledge. While the Rossers do not intentionally hide it, they do not explicitly refer to it either. Philip himself regards the lineage as perfectly normal and does not see it as something worth mentioning. So while you might suspect something, you cannot be certain unless you are 1) a member of the Japanese pureblood society and have vaguely heard about his father's disownment over his marriage to his mother; 2) a close family friend who knows their family history. Please check with me first if you intend to use this as background information.

ep 02 | carys, takumi, levin, and philip (2001 - 2015)
Image posted by the member
THE PARENTS · Graduating as a straight O student of Slytherin, Carys worked in Cardiff after graduation, living with her father until he passed away due to heart failure the following winter. Drying her tears, she spent another six months in Cardiff and moved to Narberth, where she found a new job as an assistant for a private investigator. And two years later, upon a collaboration among Aurors, Cursebreakers, and Investigators from several countries, a very green Private Investigator Carys met novice Cursebreaker Takumi Ichiyagi. [...]
Reducio
Takumi Ichiyagi, despite being a member of the prestigious Ichiyagi family from Japan, was, unfortunately, the spare of a spare. Takumi knew well that, as a spare, the only thing his father required of him was to marry high and make connections, but he found himself totally smitten by Carys as they worked alongside each other. Having similar interests and personalities, they shared witty chats and insightful comments, and time just slipped away when they were together. When Takumi had to return to Japan with his team, he inquired if she wanted to be together. He had already decided to confront his family for her, but Carys was hesitant. Having witnessed her parents' love tragedy, she was not sure if it could last. Takumi agreed that they needed time, but hoped she could reconsider. They continued to stay in touch, and when Takumi returned to Narberth to see her that summer, they confirmed their feelings for each other. They would make it work, despite all the difficulties.

Takumi's father was furious when Takumi announced his relationship with Carys to the family. He summoned Takumi back to Japan, intending to set him up with another girl from a local pureblood family. When Takumi finally showed up in the family dining hall months later, he already had a ring on his fourth finger. He declared that he truly wanted to settle down with her, even if in a foreign country, and he intended to quit his job in Japan and find another in Britain. His father eventually disowned him.

Takumi did not care much. He told Carys that he meant to take her last name, and they would make a family together. They officially tied the knot by the end of the year. Levin Aneirin Naoya Rosser was born the summer after, a stunning baby boy mostly inheriting his father's features, but definitely carrying his mother's allure. In 2015, they welcomed their second child to the world, whom they named Philip Emrys Sakuya Rosser. Like his brother, he had the dark colour of Takumi's hair and eyes, but the bright skin, thick brows, and dimple on the right cheek undoubtedly came from Carys.

Opening his large, expressive dark eyes with long eyelashes fluttering, Philip had his first glimpse of the world. As a quarter Veela, he was a sweet child, possessing that breathtaking charm inherited from his mother and grandmother. Extra candy bars, compliments from passers-by, and adults doting on him when he smiled - Philip had yet to understand what being a Part-Veela really meant, but he was always so smug about these little benefits in life.

THE CHILDHOOD · Philip Emrys Sakuya Rosser's birth was more of a surprise than planned to his parents, Carys and Takumi Rosser. Born on January 20th, 2015 at 13:14, almost 10 years after their first child, Philip almost immediately became the apple of the family's eye. [...]
Reducio
The Rossers were comfortably off, and the family was a close unit. While Takumi's work as a Cursebreaker required frequent dispatches and travels, Carys, a Private Investigator, was primarily based in Narberth. Despite both being busy, Takumi and Carys made sure they provided enough love and education to their children. Homeschooled by either his parents or Levin when they were home, Philip was taught the basic knowledge wizard children should learn. His favourite time of the year was during the holidays, when Takumi and Carys were on leave, and Levin was home from Hogwarts, the four of them all sitting beside the fireplace, idly chatting and having homemade cookies.

It all changed a month before Philip's seventh birthday. With Takumi abroad on a mission and Levin at Hogwarts, Carys, who had to work on an investigation that day, left him at a neighbour's house, promising that she would pick him up at 8. For Philip, it was just another normal weekday, seeing that his parents had always been busy.

But she did not arrive as promised at 8. Nor 9. Nor 10. While he intended to stay up and wait, the neighbour insisted on putting him to bed and started checking in with acquaintances after the bedroom door was properly closed. He drifted to sleep in great anxiety, and the next morning, when he woke up, his mother's colleague was right downstairs, eyes red and shadowed by dark circles. During the investigation, a deadly curse claimed her life. Two days later, Takumi returned. And then Levin. Standing silently in tears with his father and brother, Philip slowly came to the realisation that they would never see his mother's smile nor hear her laugh again. Carys Rosser was never going to come back.

Grief hung over the Rosser household that winter, yet life went on. With Levin resuming his studies at Hogwarts, Takumi had thought of extending his leave, but a lucrative dispatch to South America was something he could not turn down, now having to raise two children on his own. Eventually, Takumi reached out to his cousin Fusako and her siblings. Even if he was disowned by his father for his marriage to Carys, Takumi was confident that he couldn't interfere with the heiress. They were helpful, and a very bewildered Philip arrived in Ehime, Japan. At first, he regarded this unfamiliar side of family and the pureblood society as intimidating; yet he soon found that his bashful, winsome smiles and innocent wide-eyed looks made him utterly adorable and won him much affection. His Ehime days with the Ichiyagi family turned out to be more pleasant than he initially had thought, before being picked up by Takumi after the latter returned from his dispatch.

Levin stayed with a friend that summer, and upon Takumi and Philip's return to Wales, the family sold the old house in Narberth and relocated to the suburbs of Swansea. Takumi took a long leave after the dispatch, only taking on short missions based in Britain, during which he would ask neighbours or friends to temporarily help look after his son. After thorough discussions, it was decided that when Takumi was not around, Levin would primarily take care of Philip after his graduation. A top student primarily specialising in Potions, Levin had secured a spot as a research aide to a famous Potioneer in Swansea. As a Potioneer, he would spend most of his time at home studying potions; thus, he would be able to see to his baby brother when Takumi was on missions. As the golden child and very mature from a relatively young age, Takumi trusted his eldest son with such responsibilities.

From then on, most of Philip's days were spent with Levin. On the road most of the year, Takumi was only home when on leave, and while his presence might be unstable, his love was consistent. Purchasing souvenirs from foreign countries, frequently checking on them via owls, bringing them to lavish dinners when he was back, and patiently listening to their joys and concerns, Takumi was loved dearly by Levin and Philip. But still, Levin was Philip's closest confidant. Always the all-knowing, loving brother, Levin was his world.

When his Hogwarts letter arrived, Philip was overjoyed. He was going to attend Hogwarts. Among the four houses, he was hoping for Slytherin, like Levin, and of course, Carys. Over the years, the family had been slowly recovering from their loss of her, but she would always be alive and youthful in their hearts. To Philip, Levin was his anchor, Takumi his sails, and Carys his North Star. They would carry on with her legacy, forever strong and determined.
...
THE FIRST MAGIC · Philip was 8 when he experienced his first magic. Under the supervision of Levin, he attempted to bake a cake to celebrate his father Takumi's first homecoming in four months. [...]
Reducio
Levin had to temporarily leave to check on a potion he had been brewing, and a culinary mishap happened as soon as he walked out of the kitchen. Having absent-mindedly added salt instead of sugar to the cake batter, Philip rushed to fetch Levin when he spotted the tag on the container he had just used, hoping that his brother could solve it like he always did. In a hurry, he bumped into a chair in the dining room, tripped over, and fell nose first to the edge of a wooden table. He should have suffered from a bleeding and crooked nose given the hardness, yet he only felt a slight bump as if it were made of rubber. Standing up, Philip touched the bridge of his nose, and was surprised to find that it remained perfectly unscarred.
