Character History: The Gauthier family was already significantly large when Mael came along. With two older sisters and an older brother, there was always something to do and someone to play with. There was hardly a quiet moment in their household, but that was what Serge and Ilsa Gauthier wanted; seeing as though they'd both been only children growing up.
Childhood was fairly uneventful for Mael; minus his six brothers and sisters. There was the usual fussing and fighting between siblings, but nothing life changing. All Mael ever wanted was a little piece and quiet, but that was a luxury. He found his escape in the woods behind their home. Out there the world was quiet, and there was little to disrupt the natural sounds. This is where he learned to paint landscapes.
When he joined his siblings at Beauxbatons, he turned his attention to Potions. A difficult course at first glance, but he enjoyed the art of mixing ingredients and testing the limits. A simple mistake could result in something disastrous or something wonderful. As any student does, he drifted through his coursework and relationships; be it friendships, enemies, and/or love. He found time for sports and clubs. And of course, as a proper big brother, he made sure to look out for his younger siblings as they joined the ranks.
Upon graduation, he took up an apprenticeship under a Potions Master. There was much to be learned and little room for error. Hardly a perfectionist, he spent long hours working, until he was deemed fit to work. As much as he had complained about the noise his family made, he missed the hustle and bustle. He searched for work in the schools, but there were no open positions.
Mael decided it was time to spread his wings and fly. At twenty five years old, he left Belgium behind. England seemed like a good spot, so he made it his home. For a year he worked at the Knockturn Alley branch of Mr Mulpepper's Apothecary. He didn't know any better at the time, but the shady characters that came through were enough to make him look for employment elsewhere. Slug & Jiggers Apothecary was the perfect spot. It paid the bills and helped him get established. When a position at Hogwarts opened up, the then twenty-eight year old took up the position of Potions Professor.
He gets to do what he loves, which is work with Potions, and he still gets the hustle of bustle of endless noise as students rome the halls. He thoroughly enjoys the way things are going right now.
