Character History: Izzy remembers very little of his time with his mother as it were just the first three years of his life. If it weren’t for the silver locket with a picture of her and him as a baby he probably wouldn’t even know what she looks like. He still knows very little about her to this very day as his father refuses to talk about her. The only vague memory he has of her was people in robes separating him from her and taking them both away. Later he’d realise that those figures in robes were aurors who came to arrest her. Izzy was temporarily placed in a wizarding orphanage until they tracked his father as living relative and brought the young Izzy to him.
Life with his father was always a rollercoaster and not a fun one. Everything about this man screamed that he never wanted to be a dad. Things were alright when the man had a job and income so he could gamble and drink. But when he was without one Izzy was often the target of the man’s wrath. His father accused him of being the reason his life was a mess.
This was life for a while until his father met a woman named Maple. Izzy was seven at this time. She seemed to have a positive effect on the man and for a while they were like a normal family. They welcomed another boy in the world and named him Kenny. Izzy loved his baby brother. The family was poor but relatively happy besides Arthur's occasional outbursts. Good years followed until they were suddenly over.
It was the summer in which Izzy had gotten his Hogwarts letter, he was excited to get to know the world of his mother. The family was on a vacation and Arthur the dad had been drinking before he got behind the wheel. Likely because the invitation reminded him of Izzy’s mom which put him in a state of anger. The car ended up crashing into a truck which killed Maple on the spot and injured the other three. Izzy still has a big scar on the back of his neck and shoulder from this. He and his father relatively made it out unharmed. But little Kenny’s injuries would leave him with complications for the rest of his life. The little boy had been in a coma for months before he awoke. These few months were pure agony for Izzy as not only was his father’s aggression worse than ever, he might lose his little brother too. But Arthur came by and eventually was sent home with a list of treatments and medication.
Arthur got his licence revoked and got fined heavily. Which only put more stress on the family because they never had always been struggling. The two boys grew up in poverty. The flat they live in is long overdue in terms of restoration. Often they’d no gas or electricity. The neighbourhood he grew up in was probably the most troublesome in the UK. It was perfectly normal to hear gunshots at night or read in the newspaper that someone had been stabbed. This environment shaped him into the person he is today. As he noticed his father was a lot more docile when there was money in the house, Izzy took it upon himself to get his hands on it no matter what. He started taking lunch money from his classmates but it eventually turned to shoplifting and pickpocketing. Shame most people don’t carry cash around anymore. Pickpocketing, stealing candy and stuff from shops, fighting and vandalism are all normal practices for him. Most of his friends are older than he is and had a big influence on him.
He did all this so his little brother would be spared. But then a new woman entered the picture. Pine was nowhere as nice as Maple had been. In fact she made Arthur worse by encouraging him to go with her to bars till late leaving the two boys at home. When Izzy was at Hogwarts he felt extremely guilty for leaving Kenny behind, he often sent his little brother stuff and food from the dinner. But he had a new goal; he wanted to become an auror to prove his mother’s innocence. So she could be there for Kenny too.
This fall Izzy hadn’t gotten any letters back from Kenny which worried him. When he got home for Christmas his father told him Kenny had passed in November. Izzy wasn’t told about this until now. He wasn’t invited to the funeral and wasn’t given details over his death. Izzy got into a fight with his father which turned physical. But this time he was a lot stronger and wouldn’t be intimidated as easily. He ended up running away from home and is still on the run from the police. Though he doubted Arthur had reported him as a runaway.
Izzy returned to Hogwarts and has to sort out where to go from here.

Role Playing Sample: Nimue was annoyed that Ashland called them all here to chatter about her upcoming wedding. While she wanted to be happy for her friend, Nim knew she was wasting precious time she needed to build her own future. Her grades didn’t get high without hours of dedicated studying. And yet she was here, without books. Because she couldn’t let the world know just how much she struggled with her studies. She had to be naturally smart. To get a high grade and then act surprised claiming she didn’t study. Social appearances were everything for a young pureblood girl. Hence why she was here.
She had mastered the art of smiling which was exactly what she was doing now. There was not a single hint of her true feelings in sight. Nim was dressed properly but not stiff, there was a hint of playfulness to her attire. The way it should be.
Her eyes fell on the bridal magazine and she felt a rush of stress knowing she had to look for a new fiance within a few years. She tried not to linger on that too much and instead leaned back into her chair again. “Well the answer is simple isn’t it? You don’t pick your best friend. Instead you’ll choose the bridesmaid dress that compliments yours the best and then select the girl who looks best in it as your maid of honor. Well… The best looking one you trust won’t flirt with your future husband or any of his direct family. Weddings are all about aesthetics, no? Make it perfect for yourself.” She was blunt and honest about this. Besides, it'd be fun to see who Ashland would use this theory. With just pureblood ladies among them, there was no use in giggle gagging, they just had to look like they were doing exactly that. They all should know how things truly worked. “Have you picked a dress for yourself yet?”
