David Saint-Vincent

Fifth

Male

Ravenclaw

Pure Blood

David was born and raised in Brittany, France, in the small port village of Auray in the quarter of St-Goustan. It is said that his family, the Saint-Vincents, were among the original founders of Auray and perhaps Brittany itself, and that they escorted Benjamin Franklin to his visit with Louis XVI when he landed at Port St-Goustan by accident, though the history books might officially tell another story. His upbringing in Auray was peaceful and picturesque, though this image was sometimes infringed upon by David's many experiments. Once, when he was only 5, he managed to get ahold of his parents potion ingredients and infused a raven with the gift of song, or rather, the gift of singing one particular song, The Striking Adventures of Lanny Flynn the Little Witch," which coincidentally was the title of his favorite book. The song itself is said to be one of the most annoying ballads in all of musical genealogy and some forlorn wizards have actually tried erasing it from existence through various unsuccessful magical endeavors. The singing Raven plagued the town for months until David's father was finally able to capture the wayward fowl and charm it into silence. Little David was aghast at the idea of getting rid of the bird and thus Singer became his permanent friend. Every now and then, the Raven starts to sing and must be silenced by placing ones hand on its beak.

The various experiments and eccentric plots continued throughout his childhood. His mother, a Ravenclaw, understood the eccentricities of her son. His father, a Gryffindor himself, didn't always understand his son, but loved him nonetheless. When David received his letter to Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw and not Gryffindor, his parents were neither surprised nor disappointed. His father would have liked for his son to be in Gryffindor like him, but he had fallen in love with a Ravenclaw and so Ravenclaw couldn't be a bad thing.

Throughout his first years at Hogwarts, David shunned potions, a sad affair since his professor recognized Davids aptitude for the craft, and instead focused on different types of magics. He liked runes, and learning magics that revealed truths and secrets. His ongoing project is to develop Fillius Flying Flees, he's still working on the name, which would be small magical constructs that could spread out in all directions, gather various tidbits of information such as what people were doing and, perhaps more importantly, what was going to be had for dinner. He feels that he is close to a break through, the latest Fillius Flying Flee construct lasted all of two whole seconds and let him know that it was cold outside. David mused that, while being told that it is cold outside when you are outside in said cold might not be very helpful, it was a very good indicator of his progress.

Because of his Ravenclaw nature of being eccentric and "odd," he can sometimes tend to persist as a recluse. Not anti-social per say, but preferring the comfort of his books and experiments to the constant upkeep required when indulging in such trifles as social conversation. He is mostly kind, though defensive when it comes to personal questions and can be very secretive. He has no qualms about refusing to speak to someone and often ignores people he doesn't like.
