Weaknesses:
-Kauri's belief in everyone's goodness can cause him to be naiive about some things and trust people with things they shouldn't necessarily be trusted with.
-Kauri doesn't know how to cope well with negative emotions, and when bad things happen to him he prefers to pretend they simply never happened, rather than deal with how he feels about them.
-Kauri finds it difficult to tell when he's being overbearing rather than helpful, and can let his own desire to be part of things lead him to be pushy with others who don't need his overly positive brand of help.

He was a quiet child when he was very young, but as he grew so did his exuberance, and he wound up quite popular at his primary school, always cheerful and having fun. He modelled himself a lot after the hosts on childrens afterschool programming like Sticky TV and What Now, and his goal to be a role model to others like they were started very young.
Health: Kauri has had a few more broken bones than is common for his age, having had a few incidents being a bit more reckless on a bike than he should, but other than that is in fine health.

Coming to Hogwarts was a bizarre and thrilling experience for Kauri, who took his new role in this magical world in stride. He threw himself into learning all the magic he could, enchanted with it all. He also joined the Brotherhood, hoping to make a few new friends, but his closest new friend came from outside the club, April Ward. He also became good friends with an older student, Xavier Jefferys, when the two of them accidentally wore matching costumes on Halloween. Kauri's year was filled with fun, learning, and friendship, capped off by entering the wheelbarrow race with April. They didn't win, but the duo were proud of the effort they put in.
The train ride, the trip up to the castle, everything he had done thus far today felt to Kauri like he had walked straight into a storybook, but none of it compared to the sight of the great hall as he entered with the rest of the first year group. Floating candles, enormous tables with hundreds of students, bright banners and a ceiling that seemed to go on forever... it was otherworldly, and a delighted laugh escaped him as he followed the rest of the first year group, gazing around the room in wonder.

Kauri was so enthralled by everything he was seeing and hearing (a hat that could SING!) that the names being called out quickly blurred into one another and faded into the background, the familiarity of hearing his own name called jolting him back into the fact that this new magical world was real life.

"Tipene, Kauri!"

Startled, Kauri hurried over and practically leaped onto the stool, buzzing with the excitement of being sorted. Who would be his new friends, his classmates and companions? Which of the tables stretching before him would he call home? His whole future was about to start, a future he had never dreamed could be real, and the excitement was almost too much to sit still.

"This hat can do a lot more than sing! I think you'll do splendidly well in GRYFFINDOR!"

In Kauri's second year, magical life in the castle was beginning to become routine. Remembering how difficult it had been at times for him to adjust to his new home, he began offering first years tours around the castle, showing them around and telling them what they could expect from their new classes. He also continued to be involved with the Brotherhood of Magic, enjoying club activities and making friends with other members, both in and out of meetings. Putting in hard work on his studies and spending time with friends, Kauri had another great year.

Returning to Hogwarts for his third year, Kauri continued his tradition of helping first years get settled in the castle, happy to help people feel more at ease here. Early in the year a boy Kauri had met through Brotherhood, Tristan, began becoming more friendly towards him, and to Kauri's excitement Tristan asked him to the Yule Ball. As thrilled as he was by the invitation, Kauri's spirits took a blow when his best friend, April, reacted negatively. She saw Tristan as sleazy and didn't want Kauri to have anything to do with him. The two fought, and Kauri was lonely for most of the rest of the year without her. He was incredibly happy with Tristan though, having a fantastic time attending both the Yule Ball and Valentines Dance with him. He also really enjoyed his new school subjects, especially Care of Magical Creatures and Divination. In the Christmas Holidays he was finally able to convince his parents to let him get a Puffskein, after being denied a dog for years, and he lovingly named his new pet Tamati. Other than missing April Kauri felt like everything in his life was perfect... until it all came crashing down around him. He encountered Tristan kissing another boy in the hallways, and the previously warm and kind boy turned cold and harsh, shattering Kauri's heart entirely. Miserable and struggling to put himself together, Kauri reunited with April and tried to focus on his studies, heart broken by the betrayal.

Doing his best to brush off the pain of the previous year, Kauri threw himself into helping new students the moment he arrived at Hogwarts. It was a good distraction, certainly, fromt the fact that far from being able to avoid Tristan, he now had to work with him in his new role as Social Chair for the Brotherhood. Kauri was honoured to have the job though, and did his best to put up with Tristan politely when he needed to. After enjoying the bittersweet fun of his last year of matching Halloween costumes with Xavier, Kauri threw himself into his studies, finding a real knack and love for Divination. The year was tarred somewhat though by puberty hitting Kauri full force, his voice ricocheting at every given moment and embarrassing him every time he tried to talk. At the end of the year the Brotherhood held a movie night, and Kauri took the guiltiest pleasure in giving in to Rory Fergusson's encouragement to throw popcorn at Tristan. Just as it seemed the year was ending peacefully, though, Kauri saw Tristan close with the same boy he had been kissing the previous year and was thrown into turmoil, not knowing if the two were simply friends now, or if it was still romantic, and he needed to warn Tristan's new girlfriend. With no idea what to do, Kauri was relieved for the year to end, to avoid the situation while he decided what to do.

Kauri had an unusually eventful holiday before his fifth year, first attending April's father's wedding as her guest, and then being hired as an ice cream scooper at Florean Fortescue's. He had known his fifth year was going to be a busy one, with OWLs to worry about, but Kauri was shocked when upon returning to school he was named both a Prefect, and President of the Brotherhood. Determined to live up to his new titles, Kauri threw himself into his duties full force. He struggled a bit at first, staying up late enough to patrol, and that strain combined with his studies made him very tired for the first part of the year, though he did his best to keep up with everything. As he adjusted to his new schedule, Kauri had an unhappy experience in Transfiguration class, where lessons experimenting on animals tested his morals. As a result of some soul searching, Kauri became a vegetarian. At the Yule Ball he ran into a fellow prefect, Rose Holland, and had a really nice evening with her. He was beginning to develop feelings for Rose, but as she had had a breakup recently didn't want to put any pressure on her. He waited to ask her out in a rose message on Valentines day, and though it didn't go quite as Kauri planned, he was delighted when she accepted. They had a nice time at the dance, though their relationship remained platonic for the moment. As he was preparing for OWLs, Kauri added yet another thing to his teetering workload, pursuing seer lessons he had always wanted, to discover if he had any true gift in his favourite subject. He worked hard and completed his OWLs with excellent grades, pleased that he had completed such a difficult year, and looking forward to the next as he and Rose grew closer.

Kauri's sixth year started off well, as after attending a party in the holidays he and Rose finally started to date officially. Thrilled with his luck in love, Kauri threw himself into school life full force, working hard in all his classes, continuing his seer lessons with Professor Chamberlin, and helping his fellow students out. The year hit a substantial bump when to Kauri's shock, the fact that Tristan had cheated on him so many years ago was revealed to the entire school, along with the revelation that Tristan had cheated on many other people as well. Kauri felt betrayed and embarrassed, as well as incredibly guilty that he hadn't warned anyone Tristan dated after him. He tried to apologise to October, to no avail, and despite his anger, did his best to comfort Tristan, again with negative results. He was in a slump emotionally until the rose deliveries came, and he had the opportunity to help Rose organise his favourite event on the Hogwarts calendar. Bringing so much happiness perked Kauri up and he thought he would be able to finish the year happy, but things took an unexpected turn as a prank pulled by his girlfriend gave Kauri doubts about the future of their relationship.

The beginning of Kauri's seventh year was a mixed bag emotionally. While his relationship with Rose was falling apart around his ears, he was honoured to be named Head Boy for his final year at Hogwarts. Trying not to think about the problems in his personal life, Kauri threw himself full force into his duties at Hogwarts, taking to his new role with full energy. In addition to his usual duties, Kauri was happy to help out the new Head Girl, who had never been a Prefect before, and had far more of a learning curve than he did. After seeking advice from a former Head Boy, Kauri felt totally settled in what he needed to do. In amongst all his other duties, Kauri ramped up his Seer lessons with Professor Chamberlin, eager to chase the flashes of vision he had experienced in the past and pursue a future as a full blown Seer. His dedication to his duties only increased as Rose finally ended their relationship, with Kauri focusing all his energy on the people who needed him to keep from thinking about his personal life. He continued to lead the Brotherhood, help Prefects in their roles, and organise the annual Valentines rose deliveries. With his studies on top of all that, by the end of the year, Kauri was a sleep-deprived mess, but he gave his schooling his all, working hard in every class. He was both heartbroken and relieved to graduate, wishing he had more time with his classmates, more time to learn more magic, but at the same time excited to begin living on his own terms as an adult.

Kauri could feel his hands trembling slightly as he waited for Professor Alicastell to finish speaking. For all the years he had dreamed of himself as Head Boy, standing on this stage giving a speech, now that the day had finally arrived, Kauri didn't want it to happen. He didn't feel like he was truly ready to leave Hogwarts yet, to say goodbye to the home he had made over the last seven years. It still felt like there was more to do... Brotherhood meetings to lead, first years to help, spells to learn... it couldn't all be over already. Every time he thought about walking away from Hogwarts for the rest of his life, Kauri couldn't help tearing up, and it was taking everything in him not to cry here and now as Professor Alicastell spoke. He quietly reached over and gripped Sophie's sleeve for support, knowing she would be here for him now like he had been for her the last year.

They had agreed that Kauri would give his speech first, expecting that he would have no problems, but when the time came to walk to the podium, Kauri's feet felt like lead. He had been writing this speech all year, had even asked Professor Josephs for help with a karakia to open the speech, but now that the time had come, Kauri didn't know how he was going to get through it without crying. Taking his place at the podium, Kauri adjusted his graduation Kākahu as he pulled his notes from beneath it, glancing down to make sure he remembered what he had to say, before raising his eyes to address his classmates directly. "Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa. I'd like to open with a karakia. Whakataka te hau ki te uru, whakataka te hau ki te tonga. Kia mākinakina ki uta, kia mātaratara ki tai. E hī ake ana te atakura. He tio, he huka, he hau hū, tīhei mauri ora! Thank you." Kauri cleared his throat and glanced down at his notes again, glad to be through the part of his speech he had been the most nervous about. Knowing only bits and pieces of te reo, Kauri sometimes felt guilty not for being more fluent in the language of his people, and it had felt good to learn a piece of the language and be able to involve his own culture in his speech. "Today marks... an enormous change in all of our lives." He continued, looking out at the faces of his classmates.

"Hogwarts is the place that has made us who we are, and the time has come to move forward and be those people, on our own terms. Before we leave here though, I think it's important to thank the people who have formed that journey. To our teachers and classmates, to our families and friends, to every staff member and house elf who played a part in our time at Hogwarts, I'm sure I speak for every member of the class of 2050 when I say thank you. None of us made it to our graduation alone, and the support and love we received at Hogwarts will be appreciated for the rest of our lives. As we move forward from today, let's all strive to build lives of compassion and inclusion based on the foundations we've built here at Hogwarts. Let's never forget to help those in need the way we've been helped, to reach out to others in need, and to remember it's okay to ask for help when we need it ourselves. We've supported one another this far, let's let that spirit carry us forward into our adult lives, because the future ahead of us is bright and we're all walking towards it together. Thank you." The words of Kauri's speech were so familiar, having been circling around his head for years, and he was relieved that the familiarity made it easy to just keep talking, without his voice wavering or the tears managing to break his eyes. Now though, it was over, and as he finished speaking and just looked out across the Great Hall, it finally, really struck Kauri that today would be the last time his class would all be together like this. This was their last day in Hogwarts. As tears began to run down his cheeks, Kauri leaned forward to add one last un-planned addendum to his speech, "I love you all. Thank you very much for everything." He added, before finally stepping back to resume his place next to Sophie, tears running down his cheeks that he allowed to fall. It was strange, this mix of excitement for the future, sorrow for the past, and love for the people around him, and Kauri just allowed himself to feel what he was feeling, knowing he would never have another moment of his life quite like this one again.

Karakia - Prayer
Kākahu - A traditional cloak woven from flax and feathers, worn for important ceremonies.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa - Hello, hello, hello to you all. A common way for speeches to begin.

All of the language above is common knowledge to just about anyone living in NZ, the karakia below is a traditional one used often to open meetings, especially in maraes (sacred tribal community halls) and might be recognisable to non-Māori speakers, but a character without specific knowledge of te reo Māori likely wouldn't understand the actual words being spoken. The translation is from
here, where you can also hear it spoken out loud.

Whakataka te hau ki te uru
Whakataka te hau ki te tonga
Kia mākinakina ki uta
Kia mātaratara ki tai
E hī ake ana te atakura
He tio, he huka, he hau hū
Tīhei mauri ora!

Cease the winds from the west
Cease the winds from the south
Let the breeze blow over the land
Let the breeze blow over the ocean
Let the red-tipped dawn come with a sharpened air.
A touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day.
Kauri was grateful for the support from Sophie as he tried to collect himself, trying to pull it together as Sophie moved forward to give her own speech. Any calm he managed to regain was short lived though, as he listened to Sophie's speech. It was different to his own, but Kauri appreciated her perspective, and found it just as touching, and he had to bite back a fresh wave of tears as he applauded for the Head Girl. Thinking back to how nervous Sophie had been taking this role on at the beginning of the year, he was proud beyond belief of how far she had come.

And then time had come for the ceremony. He watched his classmates called up one by one, clapping for every one of them as they crossed the stage. It broke Kauri's heart to realise he might never see any of these people again. He couldn't have been prouder to have been a part of this class. And then his own turn had come. Kauri stepped onto the stage as his name was called, trying to blink back a fresh wave of tears. This was really it. He was becoming an adult, truly once and for all. School was over, and the future was ahead of him to make. He smiled through tears as he accepted his diploma, shaking Professor Alicastell's hand gratefully. "Thank you so much for everything, Professor." Kauri said earnestly before stepping down off the stage and taking his place with his classmates to watch the rest of the ceremony. His time at Hogwarts was really over, and the time had come for the rest of his life to begin.
