FULL NAME
Daintree Mars Vaskevold


MEANING
Daintree - This uncommon name is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and a locational surname deriving from the place called Daventry in Northamptonshire; the surname, found asDaintree, Daintrey and Daintry, represents the accepted local pronunciation of the placename.
Mars - Meaning & History. Possibly related to Latin mas "male" (genitive maris). In Roman mythology Mars was the god of war, often equated with the Greek god Ares. This is also the name of the fourth planet in the solar system.
Vaskevold - A name derived from the old family name that they had when they moved from Russia to Norway before they then moved to New Zealand about a hundred and twenty years before Daintree was born.


WHY
His father was the one to name him, since his mother died shortly after his birth, and she’d been raised near daintree forest in australia. Since he and her had connected over many things but he had never learned that much about her or her family, he was keen that their son carry a little bit of her with him, thus his name was Daintree, his father did make sure it was also an actual name before giving it to him, since he didn’t want his son’s name to be too ridiculous, though arguably, Daintree is still a very silly name. Daintree has never really minded his name, he is well liked and popular amongst his peers and they were always keen to be his friend so he didn’t mind have to worry about people making fun of his name. Though he wasn’t sure about his name during the first few years of his school life, he’s really grown to love it and likes the fact he’s named after a place. He has not yet been told that he was named after his mother’s birthplace as he is not yet aware of the fact that his step-mother is not his real mother. His father has never corrected him or told him otherwise at any of the points when he asked. The middle name Mars was his father’s addition, he knew that his son’s arrival into the world was a little fraught with problems and he wanted to name him after a strong god, and the one he picked was Mars, since it was also a planet. He intended to use it to talk about how his mother was always watching from the stars, but since he and daintree’s step-mother began dating when Daintree was barely a year old, he never did. The last name Vaskevold, is an old family name, his father’s ancestors date back a while but none were particularly literate and so when they moved around and were asked to write the family name this was the closest and most consistent way they figured it was spelt. Daintree likes this element of his family name. It’s just a little more unique than most. Daintree is very happy with his name, though some get confused by the surname since he has been born and raised in New Zealand, he likes it a lot.


NICKNAMES
A lot of his friends call Daintree, Dain, it’s just a shortened version of his name that usually reserved for people who know him relatively well and whom he allows to call him that. He doesn’t mind it as a nickname and will respond to it positively but most who would call him that tend to be in his close knit group of friends. People who he spends a lot of time with and whom he never had to tell what his nickname was, it just was Dain. His father has used it on a few occasions but didn’t particularly enjoy calling him that. Growing up both of his parents and his half brother referred to him as Little Tree when he was growing up as a term of endearment, “their little tree”. It is not something that Daintree disliked but it was something he was glad he’d mostly grown out of.


AGE
Currently Daintree is only 18 years old.

D.O.B.
13th November 2036

FATHER
David Vaskevold - Born in Auckland, New zealand. Muggle.
His father created a few exceeding popular gaming apps which he sold to larger companies.He has made a lot of money with this. They therefore live in a good area with affluent area. Father muggle re-married. Daintree doesn’t know about it. Raised muggle, step-mother can’t have children anymore - cancer. They met at the hospital, where daintrees father was bringing him when he was less than a year old because he was a lone parent. Daintree’s father was heartbroken at the loss of daintree’s mother but took to caring for his son with vigour. He worked from home, his work allowing him to do that, and dedicated himself to caring for Daintree. It was at time difficult because he had no idea what he was doing and tended to freak out a lot taking him to the hospital a lot where he met Daintree’s step mum. His parents from the point that they were together tailed back a lot of their worst over protective behaviour towards both children and let them grow quite independently, supporting all of the whims and interests of both children.


MOTHER
Despite being in a relationship with her Daintree’s father never learned too much about her, since she kept her magical life private and didn’t talk about it at all. Her name was Coco, she was of australian origin living near to the Daintree forest. She was a mixed blood witch who had a very close muggle friend with whom she went out with a lot, thus meeting Daintree’s father and they begun a relationship, they were not married, but had been engaged to be married at the time of Daintree’s birth and her death.

She opted to have the child at home since she knew Daintree would be magical and felt that muggle doctors wouldn’t be good enough, despite it being a very tricky pregnancy, with a number of issues, leaving her very sickly and unable to really eat. daintree was born two months early and even though he was born at home was taken to hospital. The birthing process had been pretty awful for his mother, who suffered from severe blood loss, general weakness and died some time after reaching the hospital with her child. - magic would’ve likely saved her.


STEP-MOTHER
Sarah “Roen” Vaskevold - is Daintree’s step mother/adoptive mother. She is a muggle from new zealand.
Daintree’s step mother is a doctor featuring in mental health, after her mother suffered severely from bi-polarism, which made growing up for her very difficult. She has had cancer but it was caught early enough that she has had few problems following the treatment. Her first son was born when she was living alone, having been a one night stand, and kept the baby after. She raised him alone until he was about nine years old when she met daintrees father.


SIBLING(S)
Daintree has one brother (Half/Step brother), he is five years older than Daintree and is not magical. Jim Vaskevold. He was adopted by Daintree’s father when he and his mother moved in together and get married within a year of meeting. Jim and Daintree’s father have a good relationship.


OTHER
Father is the oldest of two boys in his family, his younger brother lives in Los Angeles, America as the head of a relatively popular drinks company, is married with one adopted child.

His step-mother has two siblings one five years older and the other ten years younger, get older sister married into a rich family and has never worked a day in her life. She has five children all of whom are either in their teens or grown up. The younger sister had a baby when she was seventeen, but it died when it was three years old after it was stung by a bee. She has since done a lot of campaigning work for allergies awareness but has never married or had any other children.

His father never learned about any siblings or anything about the other side of Daintree’s birth monther’s family.


RELATIONSHIP TO FAMILY
Daintree has a good relationship with his family. Both of his parents are supportive and open to his choices and decisions, they are encouraging and nurturing while also knowing when to pull back when necessary. There have been occasional arguments between him and his parents but these were always very easily resolved, they were never the sort of family to hold grudges; they’ll let a problem settle and sit and discuss it. It was during an argument that they got the first indication of Daintree’s magic, where in a moment of anger Daintree wanted to slam a door and suddenly the door slammed shut. He is very close to both of his parents, his father has cared for his son deeply since his birth. He opts to work from home most days to help care for his son, and has raised him in a way that he hopes will result in a well rounded person. Daintree cares about his father and is open with him, goes to him with problems and desires. He was the first person Daintree showed the magical letter to about Daintree’s acceptance to the magical school before the person came to explain to his parents about what it meant for him to be magical. His relationship with his mother is exceedingly good too, he has no complaints about the relationship that he has with her, it’s a good and warm relationship. With his brother there is also a good relationship his brother is protective of Daintree and if they were closer in age they be inseparable. Daintree has learned how to play video games from his brother, has hung out with his brother at parties that he certainly should not have been at. His brother watches out for him and always ensures that Daintree behaves well, isn’t picked in in school and gets home on time. All in all, Daintree would describe the relationship he has with all members of his immediate family as good. He is worried about what being the only magical person will do to their dynamic.


PET(S)
Despite then having a large home and plenty of space for them, Daintree does not have any pets, his mother is allergic to dogs and cats do that three out most animals. He is indifferent towards animals in general, liking them when they belong to others but being happy to not have to worry about them at all, to not have to care for them. He thinks it’s a lot of work and despite most of them being admittedly cute he doesn’t think it’s entirely worth it. He gets the same attention from his friends, they keep him as in company that animals would be an afterthought, an unnecessary after thought.


BLOOD STATUS
Daintree believes himself to be muggleborn, but he is actually half blood.


THOUGHTS ON BLOOD STATUS
When Daintree found out he was magical and would no longer be remaining at the school he loved with all the friends and popularity that he had amassed over the years he was pretty frustrated. He doesn’t enjoy the fact he is magical and doesn’t enjoy the fact that muggleborns like he believes himself to be can be mistreated. In the muggle world status can be largely derived - however wrong from wealth. In the magical world if it’s blood that can so deeply affect people’s perspectives on a person's status he’s frustrated that it’s something so out of his control. He’ll go out of his way to pretend he isn’t from a non-magical background, even if he’s so annoyed and frustrated about being magical in the first place, if he sense that someone will pick on him or attempt to pick on his for his lack he’ll double down hard.


HOMETOWN
Picton, New Zealand


CURRENT RESIDENCE
Picton, New Zealand


THE PLACE TO LIVE
Daintree absolutely adores the house he lives in, in the town he lives in. To him Picton, New Zealand is the perfect place to live, there is so much to so and see he doesn’t understand why anyone would want to live anywhere else. There’s always something to get up to and people to spend time with. It get a lot of tourism during the summer months but he’s always managed to just enjoy it with his friends, be able to spend time at the beach or the other activities. It’s a nice and enjoyable place to live with so many places to hang out with his friends he doesn’t understand why anyone would ever move away. It’s not maybe as busy as a city but he still thinks it’s better.


PREVIOUS HOMES
FIRST HOME: Daintree’s parents house is a large four story the largest house in the area and one that Daintree’s father had designed and built. He lives at the end of a road with a large driveway and grounds. His older brother holds parties at this place a lot and he spent some time at these events too since his brother always made sure to invite him. From the age of seven, daintree has had the whole top floor of this house to himself. He joins his family for dinner whenever they can manage it, but other than that, he doesn’t really need to venture out. He’s able to bring friends round and have them stay over. It’s large and spacious and Daintree doesn’t ever need to worry about running out of space.


SEXUAL ORIENTATION
hetrosexual, despite being quite young, Daintree has always believed himself to be straight, he’s crushed on girls in his year group for the last year or so of his muggle schooling and believes that this has to indicate that he is straight. He has no problems with people of other orientations but is just comfortable in figuring that he must be straight.

CURRENT RELATIONSHIP STATUS
Seeing someone - he is currently dating Jenna Juseantra

CRUSHES PAST AND PRESENT
The biggest crush he has had so far was on a girl within his class, she was the same age as him and fairly popular within the school. He was likely the only other person as popular as she was. He crushed on her pretty hard for quite some time. They briefly “dated” but given his age and her age it was not real dating.


FIRST KISS
Daintree has had his first kiss with a girl, during one of the final summer parties before his final year of muggle school, when most people had turned 11, they had a party and played spin the bottle, where he was dared to kiss a girl. He had to pick which girl to kiss and picked the most popular girl whom he had started to have a small crush on. They had started a brief child romance which he ended when he got his letter for hogwarts. It was just a child romance, at best they kissed one other time, a mere peck and just held hands.

FIRST FRENCH KISS
None

PAST RELATIONSHIPS
Daintree dated Tres Bear from the middle of his 3rd year to the middle of his 4th year. They mutually decided to break up when the relationship wasn't providing anything.

------------------------------------------------------------
HAIR STYLE
Daintree has short brown hair, he keeps it in style with what most of the other kids in his class and school have, knowing that it’s important to keep up with trends within his school, he likes the way his hair sits and the style that he keeps it in. His hair is of a dark brown colour, which is unlike the rest of the family, he knows that his brother is not his full brother, but he is the only one in his family to have brown hair, both of his parents and his brother have sandy blonde hair. He goes to the hairdresser quite often knowing that he needs to keep the hair tight and styled well. He doesn’t do much with it otherwise. He doesn’t mind the way his hair looks and he likes having slightly different hair from his family. It makes his quite distinct from the rest of his family, people always remember him as the brown haired kid belonging to his father.


HAIR HAS BEEN DYED
Daintree used to want hair just like his parents and brother, even asked his father if it could be changed when he was very young, but he had grown out of this feeling and now really likes his hair and how it looks. He would only now change it if that was what a lot of other kids his age were doing so. Otherwise it is not an interest that he has. The whole process of constantly putting it in his hair and the upkeep of it would likely be too much effort for him to contend with, more effort than he could care about. He likes his hair the way it is and he would do little to change it now.


EYE COLOUR
Daintree has a muted blue colour of eyes, this is something he mostly shares with his father though his eye colour is a little different. Both of his parents have blue eyes of differing shades and he imagined that he got something between the two. He likes his eye colour a lot, it’s not the brightest colour but it suits him well and it gives him something distinct. It’s a nice colour he finds and one that is sure that not everyone could pull off so he is happy to be the one to get it. He thinks that he can both pull it off and that it really suits him. Daintree would never change his eye colour and would be disappointed if his eye colour ever changed or if something was to happen which would cause them to change.


BIRTHMARKS/FRECKLES/SCARS
Daintree has a number of freckles dotted around his faces they are fairly easy to spot and easy to pick up on. He doesn’t mind that they look like that, he likes how they make his face a little more unique and different since there are no two people with the same sort of face as he’s got. He had a few scars on the rest of his body, notably on his left side where he once fell from his bike going at pretty high speeds and landing badly on some gravel. These have largely faded but are still obvious for people looking at the exact part of his body that they are found on. He has a few birthmarks but none of them are particularly big or of note.


BODY TYPE
Having always been energetic and active, Daintree has a slim body type. He stopped eating meat when he was nine years old which he swears down has made him better and more active, he believes it has helped him be leaner and slimmer. He’s very relaxed about his body but works hard at sports and other energetic thing that he works towards being slim. He likes being good at sports and believes that it benefits him more in making friends than academics ever do. He is a little taller than the average for his age range but both of his parents are quite tall so it is to be expected. He likes how he looks a lot, despite not being too similar to the rest of the family in terms of looks, he likes the way he looks and how he’s built.


BLOOD TYPE
Daintree does not know what blood type he is, his father has never had his blood tested to find out what it was, Daintree doesn’t mind not knowing this at all. To him it’s just a useless detail that won’t help him, he can also imagine that in the magical world he won’t need to know it. The magical world with it’s pressure on blood status would have to have something in place for blood, if they are so obsessed with it.


WHICH HAND?
Left handed
The boy picked up a pencil for the first time with his left hand and learned to write with that hand. He was at school when he realised that most did not write with their left hand and began mimicking others in the class to write with his right hand whenever the professor was looking towards him or if he had to write something on the board. Daintree took longer to learn how to write well because he kept switching between his hands, but he is now pretty good at both but the most natural hand for him to write with is his left hand. He is not sure how he’ll manage at magical school since that poses new problems for his writing, his handwriting still not being the best, but he will learn and pick it up if necessary. He knows that he’ll probably just take more time doing essays because of this disadvantage. Daintree thinks it’s really dumb that they write with quills and ink, when most muggles have moved on to electric computer typing.


VOICE
Daintree was born and raised in New Zealand, despite his father’s family being originally from Europe all traces of that accent have been lost several generations in. Daintree sounds Kiwi. He likes how he sounds too. Seeing no problem in sounding exactly like the place he’s from. He and all the other kids he grew up around speak with accents similar to him.


I CAN SPEAK
Daintree has been taught a few languages in school, he knows English of course that being his primary language and the one he used all of the time. He knows some basic Maori from school and the little that they taught them during school. He knows a few words in Chinese because they did a few classes in school on it but that’s about it. He’s only fluent in English. He would’ve done more Maori if he had the opportunity to, thinking it pretty right that he learn the native language of the place his family came to, but he wasn’t too interested in learning much of other languages.


I AM ALLERGIC TO
Daintree is mildly allergic to shellfish. He’s been fully vegetarian for two years, eliminating all fish and meat from his diet so he doesn’t worry too much about ingesting it because he is very careful about what he eats. He parents are very attentive in this regard too, making sure he’s eating well and right, while respecting his choices and his known allergies. He is very careful and pays a lot of attention to what he puts into his body.


PERSONAL STYLE
Daintree likes being in style, he doesn’t particularly enjoy shopping but he has the stylish clothes that his parents buy him, he likes to wear clothes in a casual but fashionable style that match that of his friends for when they hang out outside of school. In school he wears a uniform. His style is very casual, but he’ll dress up when necessary. He keeps himself in skinny jeans and jumpers. He wears largely branded clothing since his parents can easily afford it. He is concerned in moving to the magical world about if his clothes will fit in, he doesn’t know what sort of style the kids have or where they buy their branded clothing. Daintree likes to appear cool and casual with the imprrssion that he hasn’t put a whole lot of effort into his appearance when he has. He had days were he’ll dress exceedingly casually and won’t care as much about what he’s wearing, this is largely around his friends when they come to his house or during the summer months when it’s likely they’ll end up going cycling or at the beach getting dirty. He doesn’t mind getting his clothes dirty but he knows it’s probably better to get clothes that are less expensive dirty.

CHARACTER LIKES
There are a number of things that Daintree likes, he likes a lot of sports, he plays a number of sports, like football, lacrosse, tennis and a few other things. He likes swimming in the sea, being at the beach of his friends. He likes having fun with his friends and likes spending time with his friends whether at his house or at parks or beaches or even just at school. He likes being popular in school and likes being in the centre of attention whenever he can be. Daintree enjoys when he gets his way, and will work hard to get his way whenever he can. He likes playing video games, and he liked coding and building websites and such.


CHARACTER DISLIKES
Daintree dislikes the fact he’s magical, he doesn’t enjoy the magic that he’s apparently got. He dislikes having to spend too much time indoors, he doesn’t like when it rains too much and he doesn’t like when he can’t go to the beach on a sunny day. He doesn’t like spending time away from his friends and family. He doesn’t like when he feels and is too alone. He doesn’t like being away from his homelife. He doesn’t like being forced into situations where he doesn’t know anyone - though he’ll take the time to get to know people. He doesn’t like when people are mean to him or his friends and he’ll go out of his way to get rid of friends he finds aren’t loyal.


GOALS
Even though he will no longer be going to muggle school, above all else Daintree wants to do like his father and design games, this desire of his is not one that has changed and not one that will change for a few years. He also wants to be popular and have lots of friends that’s certainly a goal of his and a renewed one, he was going into secondary school with his friends that he’d known for years and would’ve continued to be friends with. This it’s a goal that he has for Hogwarts, he wants to be popular and make lots of friends.


BOGGART
despite appearances, Daintree works hard to achieve a certain image for those around him, and the loss of that would be pretty hard for him. But what he would see would be the loss of his family and friends. He cares deeply about being loved by those around him, so him not having that would be very hard on him. He would struggle a lot in losing his friends or family in any permanent way, especially his family. He cares deeply about them and loves the feeling of belonging in his family that he would definitely feel the loss of that and deeply fears it ever happening.


PATRONUS
Daintree’s patronus would likely take the shape of a platypus.


PATRONUS MEMORY
Dyring the summer before he got his letter, Daintree and his friends went to one of his brother’s parties, he had decided to throw a pretty big party while their parents were out -though he had permission- and Daintree hosted his own, he enjoyed the process of planning the party and picking who to invite but the night itself was pretty amazing to him. His party started and ended early, with some staying over but it was a pretty big deal for him, he had worked very hard on it and he had a very good time, they all hung out and drank juice, played video games and other games and mingled with the older party, he has very fond memories of the sort and had intended to have this party every year, because it makes him feel so good and so well liked by everyone around him, people were talking about it for ages and he just liked how all of that felt. Daintree always liked the idea of being involved and active within his school and he thrives with his friends around him so this was the perfect event for him.


DEMENTOR
Agruably the most difficult or dark day of his life so far has been receiving his hogwarts letter and everything that followed that. After the person had come to tellhis family about what it all meant, a pretty severe argument occurred, Daintree was adamant that he wasn’t going, that he would not be going his place was there with his friends, at his school amongst people who he had never met or seen before, people who he would have to start from stretch. There was nothing in him that endeared him to that place and he was pretty adamant that he wouldn’t go, he didn’t expect his whole family to disagree with him and for them to all think he should go, to think of the opportunity this was providing him. Daintree was pretty used to getting his way, that he was really surprised when his father didn’t step down on it. Daintree usually was able to make everyone else see that he really didn’t want to do something and get himself out of it, but this was just one occasion when he didn’t manage it at all. He stormed off to his section of the house and stayed there for two whole days before he relented and agreed that he was going, but his protest should be notes and that if he didn’t like it, he’d be able to switch out and come home. He’s had a pretty easy childhood otherwise so this to most would be nothing but in his household it was pretty significant.


VERITISERUM
Daintree thinks his father is lying to him about something, but he doesn’t ever want to bring it up to him. He just finds it weird that there are no pictures of him before he was one, that they rarely talk about his birth though he knows he was a tricky birth. They never talk about the maths on his mother’s cancer. There are just a lot of details that don’t add up and Daintree thinks that his father is lying to him but he also doesn’t want to believe that, and he doesn’t ever want to ask about it. He likes his family and he likes belonging so he wouldn’t mind living in blissful ignorance of details of it then meant that his family remained together as a solid unit. He doesn’t want to lose what he has by asking questions that don’t need to be asked.


MIRROR OF ERISED
he would be without magic, the lack of magic would be clear, his life would be back to what it was before, set in stone, he’d be hanging out with friends, and not having to join a new school and make new friends. He would be surrounded by people who were all wanting to be his friends and his family would surround them too. He would see a version of himself that was more popular and had no magic, he’d been perfectly satisfied with his life before hogwarts that he would at this point rather return to that.


AMORENTIA
The fresh ocean air in the morning, the way that the air can be light and fresh. The smell of a roaring fire in the evening in the summer or the winter. The smell of his part of the house. The smell of places that pine and wood. Daintree likes outdoor smells because they tended to mean that he'd be heading outside to have fun. They tend to be smells he associates with spending time with his friends or family.


I LOOK UP TO
Daintree looks up to his brother, his brother has always been kind and patient with him, they’ve spent so much time together and Daintree is exceedingly close to his brother. They often do things together at the weekend and Daintree has hung out with his brother and his brother’s friends for without much of a question, his brother is smart and driven, he rides around on his bike or skateboard and is effortless cool and fun. He protects Daintree whenever he has to, and always looks out for him. Daintree would say his brother is humble and grounded and he wants to be just like his brother. He never really grew out of the stage of following his brother everywhere. So he easily looks up to his brother who is especially kind to him and who is everything that Daintree wants to be.


RELIGIOUS BELIEFS
Daintree’s family haven’t been particularly religious for a few generation his grandfather on his mother’s side was religious but none of them since have been, they’ve all been to church because of school or some event but he doesn’t particularly believe in any of it. He’s naturally curious enough that he’s read up on a lot of religions but for him they just don’t make any sense. He doesn’t believe in it but isn’t anti-religion, it’s just not for him.


ZODIAC SIGN
Scorpio

ZODIAC DESCRIPTION
Reputed to be the “most powerful” sign of the zodiac, Scorpios lead fate filled lives and have intense and dramatic personal relationships. Even as children Scorpios are often found to be wise beyond their years. Many astrologers call this the sign of the “oldest souls”. Old and wise beyond the average, Scorpios often know all the answers, except sometimes; they too often have difficulty finding what they need to develop their own happiness. Passion, desire and power go hand in hand for Scorpios. Their biggest challenge and test in life is choosing between the power of love and the love of power. Coming to grips with their extraordinary emotional depths and sensitivity isn’t easy for those around them. A strong theme throughout their life is to merge deeply with others in a way that allows them to experience emotional intensity. They are different from all other zodiac signs and this difference has them walking, working and loving to a different beat. Others can often live with a Scorpio partner for years, but not really know them. Much to do with a Scorpio remains ever secret. Their eyes often blaze with feelings that words never express, and beware on the days or nights they hide their feelings behind dark glasses, there is likely to be a storm of some kind brewing. When you deal with a Scorpio you have to always deal with them on a psychic intuitive level. They often wear a mask. Too often they say “no” when they really mean “yes”.

BASIC PERSONALITY
Daintree’s primary desire is to be popular, he likes being surrounded by friends and knowing his place amongst others. He’d never struggled to make friends before, having been in a position where he knew a lot of the people since they were exceedingly young and being in a family and fincail place where people wanted to be his friend. Daintree is very keen to have a place in the world to have a clear set of where he should be in relation to others and will change some patterns in his behaviour to suit it. He likes getting his own way, and can be quite stubborn when he wants something badly enough. There isn’t a lot that he wants that badly that he’d never back down over. Daintree is loyal to his friends, those people whom he considers his close friends, his vote group he is very loyal and generous to, giving them his time and occasionally money. He expects loyalty back but knows that he’ll get it from those people. He can do things for other and be friendly to them if he knows that it’ll in the long run benefit him, like befriending someone who has a lot of their own friends, or someone whose close to a certain teacher so to get in more favourably with them. Daintree likes to pass his classes but will never work too much harder than that, he aims to be liked by professors but never have to do too much work, he liked being considered cool and will work hard to appear cool, he also likes appearing casual and uncaring but he tries hard to achieve both of these. Daintree will become focused when he has a goal in mind but these can vary. He’s keen to start and try new things but will only stay on these things if he really likes them, otherwise he won’t bother with them. Daintree will always give people and things a try-even magic- because he thinks that’s more fair. He likes sports a lot and is more athletically driven than he is academically driven. He desires to belong, and struggles when he doesn’t know if he does. He’ll go out of his way to make friends in places because he thinks making friends is the best thing he can do. Friends can help him achieve anything. He can be occasionally cruel and a bit of the bully if something doesn’t go his way or if people start trying to pick on him, he won’t easily rise but he’ll fight to defend his friends and his own honour on occasion. He has an outgoing personality but he just doesn’t like the idea of being alone.

OTHER SCHOOLS ATTENDED
Picton Primary and Secondary school, they were a conjoined school where most people joined at five and came to the small school building until they either dropped out or left at 17/18. The primary and secondary do not interact at all, but they do share a front entrance way with one school to the left and the other to the right. It is a public school but he attended a school in an affluent area.


YEARS OF ATTENDANCE
Daintree started at this school when he’d recently turned 5 and continued to attend until half way through his last year at the primary school when he was eleven. It was the school, it and the secondary that he had intended to be at until he graduated with all of his friends by his side. He had worked very hard during those years to gain in popularity.


HOUSE (IF APPLICABLE)
There were no houses in the school.


FIRST THOUGHTS
Daintree has always expected to go to this school, it was where most of his friends were going and he didn’t want to not go where his friends weren’t going. He had seen the school a few times and liked the look of it but was very excited about his first day, he had a good day, helped by having some friends already he was able to make more friends and join up to a few things to try out, including lacrosse which he continued to play until he left the school for Hogwarts. The school itself is a rather new build, having been refurbished a few years before his old brother attended, so it fancy and modern; had plenty of facilities and space for kids to play, he really enjoyed the first day he spent at it, and loved the different things within the school that he would come to use frequently. He was able to hang out with his older brother at lunch and that helped grow his own popularity early on in his schooling.


GRADES ACHIEVED
Daintree is a smart kid, but he tended to pass his classes, so well enough to pass and to ensure that the teachers all liked him while not over achieving and getting high grades that would make it difficult to keep up an easy going image. He also just prefers being active and spending time with his friends than having to sit and study behind books. He doesn’t think that it can be healthy to always be reading. He’ll do the work he needs to to stay in the teachers good books and pass his classes in a way that won’t make his dad force him to try a little better. They haven’t had any major exams where he would have to work a little better.


FAVOURITE CLASS
Daintree was never particularly studious, always doing well enough to pass but never trying really hard. He was well liked by teachers and had an easy time in most of his classes. Of all the classes he had, Daintree liked the computing classes, he wanted to do what his father did, and wanted to spend time working on coding, games and building apps, it was a class that thanks to his father he was very good at. He’s spent time when he was young at his uncle’s place learning from him too from an early age so he became quite naturally gifted at the class. It wasn’t something that they did that often in school, only once a week but he was always the best at it, it was the only class he’d put in more of an effort knowing and wanting to do well in it. The teacher in this class was someone that Daintree got along well with and the man tended to let Daintree work on his own thing whenever he was going over something that he knew that Daintree would already know. Daintree was known to help others in this class and it was the only class he did this in.


LEAST FAVOURITE CLASS
Daintree didn’t like the ethics and religious education classes that they got and it was the only place where his casual relaxed, uncaring vibe tended to get him into trouble. It was a class that he got in the last year of his schooling with a teacher he hadn’t quite figured out. They didn’t got along because he never took the class seriously, he was always the first to make jokes and to fill the silence with something else. He started listening to music in class and just sitting at the back messing around with his friends, to him it didn’t matter, he knew that it was better to be good but he got what he wanted, and no one in his family had been religious for a few generations and he had never been raised on any one god. He learned about a lot of God’s because his father always said they made good enemies in games. The boy gave up entirely on the class after his hogwarts letter, since he was going to that school instead of sticking it out at the muggle school, he knew it was pointless to even bother. This caused a lot of problems between him and the teacher of the class which led to him being removed a lot from lesson up until the point where he left the school officially.


SKIPPING CLASS?
despite taking a very relaxed attitude towards his education, Daintree has only skipped a small handful of class, less than five during the whole time, and all in his final year of the school when he knew he wouldn’t be sticking around. If the weather was nice enough he would leave at lunch. He tended to tell his father so that the man would be able to cover for him just in case and he tended to get his brother to go with him so he was never alone. He would go to the beach or do something that was more fun, if he was leaving then it didn’t matter at all. His father wasn’t particularly happy about his attitude towards school as the months dwindled down, but he wouldn’t stop him knowing that he was right in a way, from the courses that it was clear he’d be taking based on the book list he wouldn’t need to know much about it, and feeling a little bit lost in trying to understand what was happening to his son and losing him to a boarding school miles and miles away he’s letting him get away with a little bit more than he would’ve otherwise. If Daintree wasn’t going to a new and different school he would absolutely not let this sort of thing continue.


SCHOOL CLUBS
Daintree has been involved in a lot of school clubs. He has played a lot of sports growing up, he tried hockey, field hockey, football, lacrosse, rugby, tennis, badminton and parkour. He hasn’t really stuck out with many of them, but he still plays lacrosse regularly and is on his school’s hockey and football team. He is involved in the boy’s club in school as well as the party planning committee and the monthly school council. He’s involved with the school taking on a lot of roles because he’s popular enough between students and teachers to be given them, and though he’ll always say he’s too cool for them will do out the responsibilities. The prospect of new sports is the only thing that interests him about the new school.


POSITIONS ACHIEVED
Daintree was the elected representative of his class for the council three years in a row and eventually in his final year - until the point where he dropped out was the leader of the whole student council. It was a position he’d worked for but happily did, he had a laid back attitude towards it, maintaining a fine balance between actually caring about it and spending the monthly meeting just laughing about with some of the young members of the school.

WAND
Ebony Wand 12 1/2" Essence of Griffin Feather

WAND DESCRIPTION
Ebony is obviously striking in its pure color. It represents strength and generates unsurpassed magical energy. The Holly handle is the symbol of life, vitality and immortality and is perfect for use in spoken spells.

THOUGHTS ABOUT WAND
The make and feel of the wand were surprisingly nice to Daintree. He had thought it stupid and certainly the idea of going around waving a stupid stick in his mind was the most laughable part of the school, but actually seeing it in his hand, letting the power of the wand wash over him. He thought it was a beautiful and amazing thing. He could feel how strong it was, the amount of magical energy that it held for him was just amazing. He loved every inch of the wand and would never actually openly admit that.

SCHOOL
Hogwarts New Zealand

FIRST THOUGHTS
Daintree hadn't known what to expect from Hogwarts, since of course he was the first of his family to go it in his mind was just going to be a normal school. So, when he was met with the castle he had to admit to being somewhat.impressed. He thought it was rather european for New Zealand, but he liked it nonetheless. He would also very easily claim that it was too much, that having a whole castle felt very try hard and he couldn't get behind a school that did that. But he would only admit that when expressing displeasure in the school. Overall his first thoughts of the place were pretty positive.

HOUSE
Slytherin

THOUGHTS WHILE BEING SORTED
Daintree had thought that sorting would involve their names being called an assigned a house. by a teacher, he hadn't imagined it would be a hat placed. on to his head that would decide his fate. He hadn't really known it was due to a person's personality either or what the houses truly. presented so he did go into it a little blind. This wasn't something he really minded, he just needed to get sorted. He could admit he was pleased when he was placed into slytherin for all it meant to him.

SORTING POST
Daintree Vaskevold couldn’t actually believe he had actually arrived at Hogwarts, the boy had thought ever since getting the letter that just maybe his father would back down and Daintree would get his way, ending up at the school he was supposed to attend rather than at this school, he really wasn’t used to not getting his way. He had always managed to get his father to see his side of things, but this he just hadn’t managed it. Now, he found himself in school, in Hogwarts with all of the other wizards and witches that he would have to spend seven years with. People he would have to get to know, people he would have to be friends with, but starting entirely from scratch. He had built up a good friend group in his last school, people he should’ve spent time with until they all graduated. There had been a plan with his friends, but all of it was out the window and he was suck in a school without any of his friends at all. Daintree could see the sense in what his parents were saying, why they would want him to use this skill that he had, but Daintree didn’t want to. He didn’t want to learn magic, it didn’t matter that he could maybe admit that some elements of the magical world seemed a little cool, the sport seemed definitely interesting, but he couldn’t like any of it. He had to give this one year a chance, and then after he was sure he could persuade his father to let him come back to his home, to his normal school and all of his friends.

Daintree had read a little about the school, he had never been much of a reader but he was curious about what this place was like. It was from that that he’d read about this ceremony which he was heading into. Hogwarts had houses. Houses that were based a little upon personality. It was maybe the only thing that he wanted to find out about. The only part of the magical world that was something he could admit to being eager for. Daintree followed the rest of his class into the hall, he spotted the boy -Tully - with whom he had shared hot chocolate and the strange experience of the older man trying to give them owls. He was sure that with a little more effort they could be friends, Daintree made a note to pay attention to where he ended up in this sorting process. He could imagine he’d be pretty near the end if they went alphabetically, which he had to imagine that this backwards would would. The boy stood in amongst the rest of the students, glancing at a few of them as the ceremony got started. He didn’t know anyone else, he would need to try to figure out who best to be friends with. There would surely be a few people he could easily befriend in this place. Maybe it would be best to start with the other people who’d end up in the same house as him, which ever that would be. Daintree was distracted from the hat’s song, since he thought it a bit ridiculous that it would be a sentient hat that would sort them, but that was just his world now. The boy watched as the other students got sorted before him, he applauded along as he glanced between them and the tables they went to. Trying to gauge where he might have the best chance of making friends. He would need a few people to make this place a little more bearable. The crowd dwindled down until he was one of the last few and finally his name was said.

Vaskevold, Daintree,

Daintree held his head up high, steeled his gaze and walked to the stool. He glanced out over the hall, looking between the tables as the hat was placed on his head, he’d waited long enough for an old, weirdly sentient hat to tell him where his personality would place him at this school.

YEAR OF GRADUATION
2055

THOUGHTS DURING GRADUATION
Daintree had been looking forward to graduating for months, every time it felt close enough it was also too far away and finally it eas happening. He liked his time at Hogwarts in the end but he knew that it was done, he needed to be done and doing something else. Daintree hadn't invited anyone, since he technically isn't speaking to his parents and with them both being muggles they couldn't go anyway. Daintree was very glad when it was over and he could leave.

GRADUATION POST

Daintree had been looking forward to this for months. Since it had really become on the horizon for him he'd been eager for it. Hogwarts had been a good many things for him, the complete upheavel of his life, where one plan had gone so far out the window he was sure it was orbiting the planet. But it was at an end, he was at the point where he wouldn't be coming back, and he was able to get started on his adult life. He hadn't found a calling or passion, nothing in the magical world had really ever called out to him as he thought it might. Perhaps it was just that he'd come to it a bit late, that he'd only begun enjoying magic when he'd started doing quidditch seriously. Sports had always been a strong suit of his but he wasn't sure he wanted to do that. He could probably find a team to play for, but everything could be decided later, and even though that later was very soon, daintree would continue to put it off.

He'd dressed smartly for the graduation, keen to at least make a good impression. This was his final school event and he felt like he just needed to try one last time and then he was unlikely to see most of these people ever again. Not unless he had to. Well, apart from Jarica, maybe Jenna, Emily, maybe Sydney if she was in a good mood, perhaps Sully. But he wasn't planning on ever coming back. He was done with his education, getting his bit of paper and planning to at least lazy about till his next step. Daintree sat down, at the tail end of students and watched proceedings get started. He knew how this went, he'd be one of the last names, but he wasn't that bothered there was no one here for him. Daintree listened to the speeches, laughing quietly a little at Adorah's and finding Noel's a little sentimental for his tastes, but he politely cheered loudly for both, since they did deserve it.

Names began being called forward, and he applauded for people, loudly for Emily and a few of his other friends. Eventually he stepped forward to his name. He crossed the stage with all sense of purpose, a confident stride and he got his paper. he didn't linger, moving quickly, since he was sure people just wanted this to be done, and in fairness, so did he. But soon it was over, done with, and he was surprised that he felt at least a little sad, he would miss some elements of school.



POSITIONS ACHIEVED
In his fourth year he joined the slytherin quidditch team as a full player, he'd been an alternate since his second year. In his sixth year he was awarded the prefect position. In his seventh year he was made co-captain of the Slytherin quidditch team.

BEST CLASS
There are not many classes that Dain likes, he thinks that potions is the best class he has, it's similar enough to a muggle chemistry class and is really just the one class that he can really admit to liking. It feels at times very much like a video game, getting ingredients and mixing them into a potion he doesn't try any harder at this class than he does at the other ones he takes but it's the one he could admit to disliking the least.

WORST CLASS
Dain would say since the electives his least favourite class is muggle studies. he knows its the easiest class for him and so much of it is things that he. is aware of but it feels so odd to sit in a classroom and learn about his old world. It is taught in his mind as the sort of a foreign language class where he knows too much. to really be able to participate properly. Before that he disliked History of magic, history was not a strong suit of his before magic and even less so now.

DREAM JOB
Before Hogwarts Daintree wanted to follow his father into app development. Since he knew that was how his dad made his money. and knowing he didn't want to do anything other than make money. However, since coming to Hogwarts and no longer being around muggle items, he knows that he's getting out of touch and wouldn't be able to do that any more. Now, he doesn't know what he wants from his life.
