Full Name:
- Salazar Thomason Kim Strayde
Date of Birth:
- 4/4/2009
Current Age:
- 15
Basic Appearance:
- Salazar's great grandmother, and also his grandmother was Korean (although the two women were unrelated before meeting the Straydes), and this shows clearly in his appearance. He has straight black hair, dark brown eyes and pale brown skin. He's short and thin for his age. He wears only cloaks and robes. Here's what he might think was normal to wear if he ventured into the muggle world:
Personality:
- Salazar considers himself to be a normal fifteen year old - though what he considers normal probably isn't everyone's idea of normal! His favourite hobbies are duelling and wand painting - he and his friends take magical photographs of each other performing wand writing, it's a kind of art form in their community. By using multiple wands, they can create complicated pictures. He's somewhat introspective, happy to be alone, but also has a great sense of adventure and is really good at expressing himself.

- Fiery, Adventurous, Creative
Favourite place to be:

Friends:

Your Boggart:
- "I've never seen one, but it'd probably be a world without warmth or colour."
Your Animagus:
- "If I ever became one, it'd be something flashy, like a bird of paradise or a parrot."
Mirror of Erised:
- "I've never seen one, but I think the thing I'd most like to see is my artwork on display. Or me as duelling champion."

A page from Salazar's diary said:There's so much to do every day - someone should make the days longer! After training with Ma and helping Da at the bar, there's hardly any time to hang out with Colin and Gwylim and Lexus. It seems whenever I try to get away with them, Barnabus wants me to practice quidditch with him, or Ma needs my help with a patient, or I have to watch the neighbour's kids. Merlin, they never shut up. Little Quentin almost broke my wand this morning. I was so scared I caused a fire by [magical] accident. It scared him enough that he dropped my wand though, and I got it back. He was really well behaved for the rest of the day!![]()
Ah, Da says I can have the evening off. Gonna go work on some new ideas I have for wand painting with Gwyl and Lexus.
