The Basics
Linden, the name of a tree also called the lime tree, though not the tree that produces limes, as it is a tradition in my mum's family for members to be named after trees (traditionally the tree one is born under),
Remus: as both mum and dad are werewolves, they decided to give me the name of a famous werewolf from modern history. I mean, Remus Lupin was a really brave and cool guy, so I am rather proud to be named after him
Kinneck Kinneck is the name of Casper's birth family. When Me and Cas were getting married, there were some deep discussions on what name to go with and the end decision was Kinneck after his birth family
Cullen: my dad's last name, and despite the unfortunate link to a family of vampires in some muggle books years ago it is a good name to have.
Nicknames: Lin (most people) Pipsqueak (willow) Linny-Bear (Tara) Snowflake (Casper)
Character's Birthdate: 23rd May 2039
Star sign: Gemini (On the cusp with Taurus)
Hometown: Wagga Wagga, Australia though my parents now also have a house in New Zealand that they live in, the farm near wagga wagga will always be my hometown
Blood Status: mixed blood, on my mum's side both her parents are magic even though she doesn't know, her adopted mum is a witch and dad was a part giant wizard. On my dad's side my gran is a witch but my pop was a squib, that leaves me as mixed blood.

At School
Wand: Curly 12.5" Flexible Chestnut with Mermaid Scale Core
Length: A fairly average length for a wand, not at all uncommon or very special.
Style: Great care was taken in crafting this wand's wood to spiral to its point, giving it a beautiful aesthetic quality.
Wood: 'Chestnut Drones' says the old poem - but Chestnut most commonly takes on the attributes of the core that it holds within it - though it may have a unique attraction to those wizards and witches who excel in herbology, taming beasts, and flying.
Core: As a core, mermaid scale assists wands in being helpful in classes such as Care of Magical Creatures and water-based spells. Though not a difficult core to obtain, mermaid scales must be freely given by the merperson in order to fully bond in the wand.
Flexibility: Flexible: Not easily broken, this wand performs under strenuous circumstances with little effort - though how well it performs is ultimately up to its weilder.
I like my wand. each of the components show that i will be good working with magical creatures which is great as that is what i want to do when i grow up. and I like the curly shape it is a little bit pretty and unique
Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff
I like being one of the badgers. when i was sorted i was in the same house as my cousin and Willow's boyfriend. of couse Chante graduated after my first year and Willow and noelle broke up though he still was cool and looked out for me. the other students are great too. I am looking forward to get to know each of the boys in my dorm.
sorting post said:Linden was excited as he entered the great hall. he was finally here at Hogwarts about to be sorted. h looked across at Alison who was near him and nodded. it was unlikely that he would be in the same house as his cousin, well at least this one, but he was glad that he had her here with him. he looked around the great hall. it really was as spectacular as everyone said it was. this was the only room that even his dad had been able to comment on. he was looking forward to living here. he stood with the other first years as the hat began to sing. as it mentioned the houses he looked at the corresponding tables.
The first table mentioned was in red he smiled and looked for his sister. He found her easy enough her red hair was easy to spot he smiled and waved at her glad that she wasn't too cool to wave back even if she was sitting with her friends. he didn't feel like he deserved to be at that table. he wasn't brave like she was, like his mum was. he just wasn't. he wouldn't mind being there getting to be with Wills but it just didn't feel right to him.
The next table he examined was decked in blue. he didn't know anyone there or anyone who had been in that house but he didn't think that was where he belonged. he looked back towards Alison. she may well end up there, at leasrt that was where she wanted to go. with the clever and slightly quirky eagles.
he listened close to the words for the next table. they were the ones that felt right to him, the verse for hufflepuff, he saw his cousin Chante sitting there with what he guessed were her friends. he smiled and waved at her too. this was where he belonged. he knew a lot of Hufflepuff's. Chante, his uncle Chayton, and willows boyfriend were all in that house. his dad hadn't attended Hogwarts but in the discussions about houses had said he would be in Hufflepuff and his mum agreed so he thought of his dad as being there.
he was so caught up thinking about the Hufflepuff house he almost missed the last one decked in green. Slytherin. he really hoped that he wouldn't end up in there. after hearing how his sister and mum spoke about Slytherins even if they said they weren't all bad mum mentioning her friend Lilith and willow quick to mention Alistair he didn't want to be in that house. even if his friend Henry wanted to be there he didn't see its appeal.
as the hat finished the song he realised there was one table he hadn't looked at. set at the front of the hall the staff table. His aunt was impossible to miss. towering above all of the other professors. there were others that he recognised. not from ever meeting them but from what he had heard he was sure that one looking scary even though he also looked like he didn't want to be there had to be professor Styx. and the one with dark hair and a big smile was how he pictured professor Kingsley, the Gryffindor head of house and the only professor his mum spoke highly of. then the headmistress started to call out names and he glanced at Alison they would be up soon. Well, he would be with the name Cullen. she was a young so would be one of the last to be sorted. he watched as Henry took his seat on the stool and was sorted, he watched him get up and move to his house. that didn't look too hard did it. of course not.
as expected it wasn't long before the headmistress called out "Cullen, Linden" and he walked forward trying to look confident even though he was slightly nervous. where was he going to go. there was no reason to be nervous. even if he ended up in Slytherin it wasn't a bad house as such. he sat on the chair and felt the hat fall over his head its rim obscuring his vision.
"Slytherin isn't a bad house no, but that's not where you're heading and you'd make a much better Gryffindor than you give yourself credit for, but no, you'll succeed the most in....Hufflepuff,"

Appearance
Eyes: blue.
Height: fairly average hight. somehow i am the shortest boy in my dorm. but that is mainly because Cas and Lucas are tall. I am a stronger build than them and can put on muscle easily.
Style: simple and practical. my go to style is straight leg jeans, a tshirt and hoodie sometimes with a jacket over the top if it is cold. Willow teases me that I need to get a better style. but I like mine it does the job. but if she buys me clothes (which she often does) I do end up wearing them.

A Little Deeper
Personality: I like to look out for people I care about my family and friends as well as animals. I was never particually hard working at school tending to coast by with P's. but when i got to OWLS and NEWTs i worked a bit harder so i could get the grades needed for the job i want.
History: I was born in st mungoes and grew up on a property outside a city called Wagga Wagga in New South Wales in Australia. it is quite a large property. with paddocks and bushland. when I was younger I used to spend a lot of time outside playing with
I went to the Muggle primary school, and got on well with the other kids, especially the boys on the soccer team that my parents signed me up for.
I was well known amongst my family and friends for being a gentle boy. i would often find injured animals and try and nurse them back to health. quite often it didnt work but i tried.
