Solomon 'Sully' Tofilau

Birthdate : Dec 18th, 2036
Hometown : Rotorua, NZ
Blood-status : Muggleborn
House : Gryffindor; Class of '55

Wand : Dogwood Wand 13" Meteorite Dust Core:
Dogwood wands are mischievous, and like the same in those who wield them. They refuse to perform non-verbal magic (and are often quite loud), and look for fun and excitement. However, in the right hands a wand with this wood should not be underestimated. This wand core works well for people who adapt easily to their surroundings while still maintaining their own personalities. Meteorite dust seems to produce wands that are useful in Divination work.

PERSONALITY
Bold | Easy-going | Athletic | Stubborn | Childish

Lively and sociable, Sully loves to stand out and be liked. Easy to get along with, Sully excels at casual conversation and making others feel at home but can be prone to poor decisions in an attempt to be noticed or because he thinks others will find it funny, a holdover from a bigger family where you have to go big or be ignored. A fan of instant gratification, Sully rarely has patience to wait for the big payoff, enjoying having his rewards here and now and lacking the ability to really plan ahead.

Sully is also quite stubborn, but lacks conviction if his stance is questioned as he’s so concerned about others opinions about him. However, he still doesn’t like admitting that he’s wrong or unable to do something, clinging to decisions he’s made to avoid the possibility that he’s in the wrong.
Usually lucky enough to be naturally talented a lot of pursuits, Sully enjoys being good at things, but shies away from responsibility or serious efforts, dropping or disparaging things he’s not immediately successful in. Better to half-ass something than try and still not succeed.

Strengths : Confident, Outgoing, Determined
Weaknesses : Impulsive, Unreliable, Concerned with others’ opinions
Likes : Sports, Shoes, Video games, swimming, remixing music
Dislikes : Cats, Vegetables, Being ignored

FAMILY + HISTORY

Sully grew up in a larger muggle family, close to his aunts, uncles, and cousins. His grandparents are originally from Samoa, and he has further extended family still living there. Sully spent an interesting Christmas after his 11th birthday when he received his letter for HNZ. Though there are no other witches or wizards in his immediate family, Sully’s previous magical outbursts were all chalked up to either usual childhood mischief, or in the case of the truly inexpiable, simply dismissed or attributed to an old great-grandmother’s strange blood. Sully had never met his great-grandmother, but once he was made aware of the wizarding world, he can’t help but wonder if she might have also been a witch.

Sully had a great time at Hogwarts New Zealand, fitting in perfectly with his bolsterous Gryffindor roommates. He graduated from Gryffindor in 2055 after helming the Brotherhood of Magic as their Social Chair and playing Chaser on the Gryffindor house Quidditch team since his third year. While he got into plenty of mischief around school, gaining a reputation for pranks and fun events among his peers, Sully also managed to be an excellent student once he knuckled down and put his mind to it and left school with plenty of potential prospects, including an aspiring career at the ministry. Unfortunately, this would require he leave his several year long career working for joke shop Gambol and Jape's which Sully couldn't quite bring himself to do yet, putting off his applications and moving closer to his sister in Wellington to flat with school friend Michael Newton in the meantime.​

[Solomon Tofilau]

FIRST YEAR

While the world of magic was still fresh and confusing, Sully settled in very well into his new school. He got along with most of his housemates, especially his roommates (barring one exception). Joining the Brotherhood of Magic, Sully had not problems making plenty of friends, most notably, Aisa, Jarica, Daintree, Amy, and Jatin. Never out of energy, Sully helped deliver roses in Semester Two, and his rather loud unorthodox technique may have earned him more enemies than friends.
While classes and the castle were all fascinating to Sully, by the end of the year it felt like he spent more of his time outside in the grounds than anywhere inside, enjoying the chance to run around and explore with his classmates.

SECOND YEAR

Sully continued to thrive at school his second year. While not the best student, Sully still managed to coast through most of his classes, enjoying practical classes more where magic came more easily than others. He continued bonding with his housemates, especially Jarica and Aisa, who (despite Aisa's disagreement) Sully would consider his closest friends. Sully continues finding fun new ways to explore the school and its magic, and definitely got into more than a few bouts of mischief this year.

THIRD YEAR

Eager as always to get back to the magical world, Sully wasted no time throwing himself into mischief again this year. He clashed repeated with Eric throughout his first semester, but Sully finally decided he needed to get even with his roommate after Eric ruined his otherwise excellently planned Halloween Fear Challenge with his angry outbursts. Sully was able to execute his masterplan on Eric with some help from his roommates at the end of the semester, though understandably his relationship with Eric is now even more perilous, even after Professor Kingsley had to interfere after the prank. Between his pranks though, Sully was able to make some new friends, getting close with Chloë Thompson and his roommate Knox now that he had returned to school, as well as managing an alt spot as Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

FOURTH YEAR

Sully started out his fourth year with big plans. He managed to land a job at Gambol and Jape's, as well as starting Chaser on the Gryffindor team, so clearly it was time to step things up elsewhere. Tired of the lack of romance in his own life, he decided to take matters into his own hands, arranging a Spin the Bottle game which he considered a rousing success, especially since it resulted in him getting to kiss several students, notably Aisa and Emma van Houten. Sully also started an unexpected project with Lysander Summers, the pair deciding to work together to try their handiwork crafting a brand new spell, which proved more difficult than they had expected, but ultimately worthwhile.

FIFTH YEAR

All in all, Sully's fifth year was a good one. He spent most of the year kicking back with his friends and doing an excellent job playing on the Gryffindor Quidditch team. This year however Sully also took notice of fellow chaser and friend, Chloë Thompson. Who, after awhile, Sully couldn't stop noticing. Eventually, after a few more casual dates together, Sully managed to ask Chloë out officially and the pair began dating.

SIXTH YEAR

Sully's Sixth year came with the unexpected discoverying that his younger brother, René, was also magical and would be joining him at Hogwarts. While Sully was initially put out that magic was no longer his alone, he quickly picked up the role of mentoring René, and taking the chance to tease him a bit in the process. At school, things continued to go well, with Sully keeping up with his tight group of Gryffindor friends, which had even surprisingly extended to tentatively include Eric Holland, and staying close with his girlfriend, Chloë. His relationships did take an unexpected turn near the end of the year however, when, vulnerable after her own breakup, Aisa tried to kiss Sully. Though his feelings were conflicted, Sully still cares deeply for Chloë and he and Aisa both agreed to pretend it never happened.

SEVENTH YEAR

Though it was his last year, Sully was determined not to get complacent, even with his all important NEWTs looming. Taking plenty of inspiration for mischief from his job at Gambol's, Sully kicked the year off by trying to set up his friend Noel with a new girlfriend by hosting a very successful speed dating event. It also helped him not focus too hard on the fact that he would be graduating this year without his own girlfriend, something both he and Chloë had been avoiding talking about for most of the year.
The start of the second semester saw Aisa providing Sully a difficult ultimatum. Feeling guilty about their kiss, Aisa advised Sully that he would need to tell Chloë about it by Valentine's or she would. Conflicted, Sully finally broke the news to Chloë at the actual dance, resulting in a fight between the two as tempers spilt over after months of both students avoiding discussing their very real concerns about the state of their relationship. Ultimately, Sully apologized for kissing Aisa and Chloë backed down, though the real status of their relationship after grad remained undecided until the graduation ceremony, the pair deciding to simply continue on as normal with regular visits over Brightstone.
