Playby:
Jaden Smith
Hair: Dark brown and black with tight curls. He currently has it cut short and has played around with dying it different colors like blonde and light pink.
Eyes: Dark brown
Skintone: Medium brown with a warm complexion
Body: Silas was a little lankier than boys his age when he started at Hogwarts, but through puberty, he has started to grow into himself. He still has that lanky quality to him, but he has filled out a bit more so it feels more proportionate with his height.
Height: 5'11"
Dominant Hand: Left
Distinguishing features: Silas has no distinguishing features other than her height.
Style: Silas loves to experiment with fashion and changes up his vibes every few months. He tends to wear oversized clothing and prefers thrifting at muggle stores and then adapting the clothes for the magical world (or just embracing the muggle style). He likes to be ready when he is inspired and carries around bags with him that include a few small musical instruments, a notebook, a sewing kit, and some paints. He much prefers to do artistic things by hand than with magic.
Tattoos: Silas has two tattoos from his stick and poke kit he acquired in the break between his 3rd and 4th years. The first one he gave himself is of two triangles overlapping, an abstract representation of him and his twin, Blanche. The second is an okay outline of a broom. You can kind of tell it's a broom if you look really hard and tilt your head to the right a tad.
Piercings: Silas has no piercings.
Surgeries: Silas has not had any surgeries.
Allergies: Silas is allergic to lemons and a little sensitive to other citrus fruits.

P E R S O N A L I T Y
Most prominent personality trait:
Silas could most noticeably be described as quirky. He has a unique fashion sense, and he is always making up weird sayings and songs and renaming people, not really following the rules or "social norms."
Best traits: However, Silas is incredibly kind and levelheaded, especially in stressful situations. He can be a voice of reason and attempt to play the peacemaker, even if his worst traits affect his ability to be as successful at this.
Worst traits: Silas can be reather indecisive, even though he is picky, because he doesn't want to upset people. While he's not a full on people pleaser, he wants people to get along and not cause strife.
Secrets: -
Fears: Silas fears being alone in life, whether it's from losing his twin or just not having a community of people post school.
Special Skills: Silas can bend his arms in weird directions due to double jointedness in his shoulders and elbows.
Likes: Music, art, history, roller skating, yoga, snorkeling and beginner scuba diving
Dislikes: Insincerity, people who are overly competitive
Pet Peeves: People who talk or chew with their mouth full of food

  • Ice Cream Flavor: Chocolate mint
  • Candy/Sweet: Fruit leather
  • Beverage: Boba Lemonade

M A G I C A L B R E A K D O W N
School:
Hogwarts New Zealand
House: Hufflepuff
Clubs: Wild Patch, Conglomerated Arts Club, Quidditch (Alt. Keeper Y3)
Notable Acheivements: Outside of school, Silas is apart of the Phoenix Scouts, having been a Phoenix Scout and then apart of the Hippogriff Scouts due to some friends from Hogwarts.
Wand: Knotted 14 1/2 Inch Flexible Ivy Wand with Fairy Wing Core
Wood: Ivy wands are best suited for social wizards and witches who adapt well in difficult situations and thrive. They also seem to have a knack for healing magic. (via Ollivander's on HNZ)
Core: Wands with this core are good for charms spell-casting. Be warned that they do sometimes lead to failed hexes. (via Ollivander's on HNZ)
Patronus: Silas's patronus is an orange cat.
Boggart: Silas's boggart is a little bit abstract. At first glance, you see Blanche walking forward, and then he walks forward behind her, and as he gets close enough to touch her, Blanche disappaites away, almost like a fog, leaving Silas facing himself, alone.
Mirror of Erised: -
Dreams: Silas wants to do something artistic with his life. He would love to be a performance artist, performing music while doing art in some way, potentially incorporating magic.
Goals: -
Prior to entering school:
Silas was nervous and tentative about attending Hogwarts, as he was being taken away from his support system and his twin, Blanche. However, he sat on the train, pondering all the opportunities there were at school and the friends he might me. He was sure if he would be friends with them, but he hoped that it would be easy.

H I S T O R Y
Silas is the eldest child of two, the other being his fraternal twin sister Blanche. His parents, Phillip Broomhead and Edith Sedgewick, met in 2032 through mutual friends and married in 2036. In early 2044, they found out they were pregnant with the twins. Their mother went into labor during a visit to her family in Windsor, England. Silas was born at 11:58 p.m. on August 31st, 4 minutes and 27 seconds ahead of his sister. Through his father, he is a descendant of the Broomhead Dynasty, disgraced former broom manufacturers who went out of business when a team of all Broomhead brooms lost control during the Quidditch World Cup in 1869 and flew out of the pitch, forfeiting the cup in disgrace. While it has been almost two centuries since the incident, the Broomhead family still looks at the event as a significant impact on their lives today, as many older wizards are still aware and judge their last name.

Silas has lived in Bluff, New Zealand for his entire life in a modest home his parents have owned since 2039. He was homeschooled by his mother growing up, where she focused on letting himself and Blanche express themselves and explore their interests while also giving them the basic knowledge they would need to get through school at Hogwarts. When Silas received his letter to attend school, he finally absorbed that he would be separated from Blanche for the first time.

Name: Blanche Broomhead
Relationship: Twin Sister
Birthdate: September 1, 2044
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
PB: Willow Smith
Relationship Status: Silas and Blanche were attached at the hip growing up, and their weird split in birthdays caused them to start Hogwarts in differing years. After Silas started school, he struggled to make friends due to his minor lack of social skills from being a twin. Once Blanche started at school, Silas has found things easier, just with the comfort of knowing she is at school, even if they do not hang out as much as they used to and have some differing interests.
