Name: Zachariah 'Zac' May
Age: 11
Gender: Male
House: Gryffindor
Magical Heritage: More wizard than not. Mother is a witch and father is the son of a Squib and a Muggle.
Appearance: ZacBackstory: Zac's parents both work for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, Beast Division. Growing up around talk of dragons and centaurs was something that he was constantly awed about. He, his parents and his siblings - a younger brother and youngest twin sisters - moved around a lot due to the nature of the work. Because of this, Zac is very close to his family and considers his siblings to be his best friends.
It was always assumed that Zac, as the eldest of four magically inclined children, would attend Hogwarts. When he received his acceptance letter, he thought that he wanted to follow in his parents' footsteps - focusing on caring for magical creatures. But after skimming through some of the course books, his interests broadened and now doesn't know what direction to go in.
Personality: Generally good-natured, Zac likes to have fun and muck around but not to the point of getting in trouble. Having been homeschooled until Hogwarts, he's never really learned the skills to make friends, but that doesn't mean he won't try. His parents never let him or his siblings mingle with the local children in case they accidently let something slip about their work. Somewhat sheltered, he expects everyone to be good at heart. Another side-effect from being homeschooled is that he is dedicated to his studies.
Personal Items:Wand: 10" Rowan with a phoenix feather core, dense
Pet: Stray tuxedo kitten he found on his way to the Hogwarts Express
Other Items: Small pocketwatch on a chain that hangs around his neck - was his great-grandfather's.
Special gifts and abilities: Able to understand animals (not by speaking to them, but by watching their body language and their mannerisms).
Hope this is okay. Took me forever to try and write this. So very very rusty. Let me know if anything needs to change.
