He tends to lean towards the person he is focusing on, usually in conversations, giving the impression of fondness and close friendship regardless of if he's known you for very long. Dark curly hair paired with bright eyes tend to give him an outward look of mischievousness, one that is not necessarily wrong.

PERSONALITY
Oliver is a free spirit who enjoys lighthearted pranks, anything new or unusual, and has a strange fondness for birds. He yearns for attention of any type, and anyone who merely speaks to him he will label as a friend. He speaks his mind and generally seems very happy. With that in mind he does dislike large groups of people, and the loud that accompanies them. He takes being ignored very personally and is quick to assume peoples feelings about him. Oliver falls in and out of love a lot, though it typically doesn't go over well for him since he tends to be overbearing and has very minimal concepts of personal space.
PLACE OF ORIGIN
Born in the small Wizarding Town of RiverWing Springs, Wisconsin. The birth place of the founder of famous wizarding school RiverWing Herself.
HISTORY
Oliver was born into one of the more well know wizarding families of the east coast. He is a direct decedent of Gothell RiverWing and closer to the day Thompson Rivers, the best wand maker in New York. He is the oldest now of three, with two younger sisters. His mother was often away, busy with foreign studies. His father worked long hours as a part of the wizarding protection agency. He was part of a special group that kept werewolves vampires and other mostly-humans under check. Unfortunately he was attacked by a werewolf and left with disfiguring scars as well as being a werewolf. After this Oliver's grandmother started having them over at her and her husbands house for a week every month.
In New York things were different. Oliver's grandparents were cautious about magic even though they owned a magic shop on a magic street. For these visits Oliver would brood his time by reading or sneak out to explore the magical backstreets of New York. He didn't understand at that point in time why his grandparents got angry at him for sneaking out or why he even needed to go to their house at all and it wouldn't be until his 2nd year at RiverWing that he found out.
Back at his home in the springs he happily tested his abilities constantly by jumping off of high things or messing around by the local streams. He never missed his father or mother who always seemed to have something they needed to do.
His years so far at RiverWing has been exciting. Aside from the original joyousness of having his great great great so many times great grandmothers portrait all over the place he had a positively swell time learning about the many spells and charms of the modern day. When his younger sister joined in his 5th year he was happy to help her out with studying and navigating the school, and then again in his 7th year when his youngest sister came along. Wih his 8th year he hopes to complete his animagouse training and achieve the top ranks which will allow him into the job of his choice.
EXTRA
Oliver is studying to become an animagus, and has ambitions in joining the wizarding protection agency (wizard cops) like his father.
