Name: Vivian Mortimer Brackenstall
Meaning: Vivian - From the Latin name Vivianus which was derived from Latin vivus "alive". Mortimer - From an English surname which was derived from a place name meaning "still water" in Old French.
Birthdate: July 7, 2031
Zodiac: Cancer
Strengths: Loyalty - Dependable - Caring - Adaptable - Responsive
Weaknesses: Moody - Clingy - Self-pitying - Oversensitive - Self-absorbed
Being a Cancer born on July 7th, you have the unique gift of emotional sensitivity. Although you witness others struggle to understand feelings, you have always naturally been in tune with your feelings and the feelings of those around you. Understanding is not to be confused with complete openness however, as you much rather keep your feelings to yourself. It is this secrecy that makes you quite mysterious to even your closest friends and family.
Hometown: Auckland, New Zealand
Birthplace: Auckland, New Zealand
Blood Status: Mixed Blood
Wand: Curly 12 Inch Rigid Hawthorn Wand with Hippogriff Feather 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: An enigma of a wand wood, Hawthorn both heals and has a propensity for the darkest of arts: ultimately, the Hawthorn wand chooses any wizard that suits it - there may be no rhyme or reason.
Core: Just like the animal from which it comes, hippogriff feathers being used as a wand core produce wands that are stable and versatile; however, they must be respected by the wand caster or risk having this wand turn against them.
Flexibility: Rigid: A difficult wand to control and sometimes broken under little force, but powerful in a fight.
Hogwarts House: Hufflepuff
Hair: Dark brown, falling down in loose waves that reach just past his shoulders.
Eyes: Light brown, usually faced down away from other people.
Build: Slender and very tall for his age.
Complexion: Pale and clear.
Style: Simple and neat, prefers dark colours.
Distinguishing Features: Although Vivian's height is the most noticable thing about him, his voice is surprisingly soft and his movements are gentle and particular. He has a long scar on his upper left arm from a splinching accident.
Playby: Miles McMillan
Personality: Vivian keeps to himself at almost all times, rarely speaking more than a couple of words together in front of others. His personality mostly reveals itself in his poetry, showing him to be a very contemplative and observant person, preferring to watch and consider rather than participate. He often considers himself an outsider, feeling as though he doesn't have much of a place in most social settings. He appreciates companionship though, and even when he doesn't participate much, he enjoys being among friends.
Strengths:
-Vivian is very independent, and doesn't need other people around him to survive or be comfortable. He trusts his own decisions and makes his own way without needing a lot of help.
-Vivian is an excellent listener, and genuinely cares and worries about other people's problems, doing what he can to help out anyone in need.
-While speaking out loud doesn't come easily to him, Vivian is very good at expressing himself clearly though written word, and very in touch with how he feels about things.
Weaknesses:
-Vivian doesn't know how to reach out for help when he needs it, struggling in silence rather than put himself out there or risk inconveniencing anyone who could help him.
-Contradictorally, once Vivian trusts and is comfortable with someone he's likely to just allow them to make all the decisions without actually giving his own input at all, preferring to stay passive and just let things happen as they will.
-Vivian has no real ability to stand up for himself against bullies or anyone who wants something for him he doesn't want himself.
Hobbies:
Poetry - Vivian's primary passion is the written word, especially poetry, and you'll never find him without a notebook and pen in hand. It's the main way he feels comfortable expressing himself, his preferred outlet into the world.
Piano - Vivian's grandmother is an avid pianist, and has been teaching him to play since a young age. It's something he's not especially public about, but finds soothing and helps him gather his thoughts.
Swimming - Vivian swims regularly, and has done a couple of swimming and diving competitions with his old swimming club, though he never came first in anything.
Animals - Though Vivian has never been able to have pets of his own he's always had a fondness and affinity for animals, spending as much time with them as possible, and preferring their company over humans.
Personality Type: INFP (The Mediator)
Mediator personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, Mediators have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the Mediator personality type, but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.
Strengths: Idealistic, Seek and Value Harmony, Open-Minded and Flexible, Very Creative, Passionate and Energetic, Dedicated and Hard-working
Weaknesses: Too Idealistic, Too Altruistic, Impractical, Dislike Dealing With Data, Take Things Personally, Difficult to Get to Know
History: Vivian's mother Ruby Folsom got a job young working directly as the secretary of an illustrious CEO, Alexander Brackenstall, a well paying job with excellent prospects for her future. She was delighted, until her famously married boss began making advances towards her. Being young and wanting to keep her job, Ruby agreed to date him in secret, but when she became pregnant Alexander quickly made it clear that he wanted nothing to do with her unless she got rid of the baby, which Ruby was unwilling to do. After Ruby gave Vivian his father's surname as a warning, Alexander agreed to pay for child support as long as she kept Vivian's existence a secret from the public and his family. The child support wasn't enough alone though, and as Vivian grew up, Ruby had to start from the bottom, now only able to find menial, long hours low pay work, leaving Vivian often in the hands of her mother Felicity while she was at work. Vivian grew up only knowing his father wasn't part of their life, a simple truth he never mourned, having the love and support of his grandmother and mother. As Felicity's health declined though, Vivian began having to learn to do more and more things himself, spending more and more time alone. A quiet, well read boy, he was lonely at school and often lonely at home, and once he was old enough to have his own cellphone, took to taking lone walks around the waterfront, to observe the world around him.
Health: Vivian is in average health. In his sixth year he splinched himself during an apparition lesson, and has a scar on his upper left arm from the incident.
Goals: Both to write something that he feels truly sums up his experiences, and to find comfort with someone who he feels comfortable speaking with freely.
Fears: Public speaking, being abandoned.
Secrets: Vivian wishes he could hold conversations more eloquently.
Regrets: Sometimes, Vivian regrets the people he has chosen to trust.
