Character History:
Dorian was born and raised along the coast, though, just about everywhere is along the coast, or near about to it, on the Isle of Man. His favourite places were the Elfin Glen, where he, his siblings, and other children would explore playing make believe. They were elves, knights, wizards, royalty, and dark lords. Everyone screamed, and ran, and laughed, and no one minded a few bruises or scrapes.
His second place was his mother’s dance studio, at first he only went because his mother took all of them with her. Their children were too young to be left home alone, and as they grew up the Washington children were given the choice to stay home alone, but the younger were always taken with Lilian to work, his mother thought it unfair to force the older sibling to babysit. Since they were there the children would often join in on lessons their mother taught, her students thought it was cute. Unlike most of his siblings Dorian kept going to his mother’s lessons, every day after school, and every morning on the weekends, Dorian’d go to dance. The best and worst part about dance classes -particularly ballet- to Dorian was his semi friendly feud with Amia, a fellow ballet student.
Not everything was amazing, carefree, and happy all of the time. Dorian was slow to anger but once he was angry the boy didn’t just burn with it. He exploded. For a couple of years he endured bullying from one of his schoolmates. Things came to a very violent conclusion when one day the kid took things a step too far and Dorian violently smashed the bully's face into the wall before he started swinging. Dorian had been ten at the time, the school said he could finish the year but he wouldn’t be welcome to return.
Maybe it was that come summer Dorian got a letter from an owl of all things.
Going to a school in Scotland -thankfully it wasn’t England- for magic was interesting to say the least. At best it was awe inspiring, it was a literal dream come true, at worst it invoked feelings of existential horror as Doiran watched people casually warp reality in ways that went against everything he’d been taught thus far.
For the most part Dorian managed to find his place at Hogwarts, he had a few friends, most of them housemates, and even a few enemies. The first time he was called a mudblood he hadn’t known what it’d meant. The second time he broke the other kid’s nose. It wasn’t the first fight Dorian got into and it was far from the last.
After the name calling thing in his first year Dorian began insisting that he be called Washington or simply Wash by everyone except close friends
At first Dorian kept contact with Amia. During the summer and when he was home on break Dorian'd drop by her house when he could, he'd try to talk her into hanging out after classes, he'd call her or send emails. He'd had a slight crush on her after all. But she eventually stopped replying to him. Maybe it's time for Dorian to move on? He probably would, if he found a suitable distraction.
