Biography:
Calvin was born on a very peaceful farm in the English countryside, miles away from any sort of civilization. The farm grew crop that was harvested very well and tended to very carefully, though it seemed as if the owners of the farm, Calvin's parents, spent most of their time in their home or away from the farm. This was due to the fact that they were both skilled in the art of magic, using their abilities to farm quickly and easy whilst the muggles over the road spent most of their time on the fields. Calvin had an older brother who he did not get on with, Miles. Miles always used to push Calvin around, trying to outdo him at everything. Calvin believed that he was smarter than his brother, but his brother just had a knack for sucking up and working hard were as Calvin did not.

When he was a very young boy, around the age of 5, Calvin saw a cloaked black figure, that appeared to be on fire, enter his room in the dead of night. He hid from it and tried to ignore it and eventually fell off to sleep, waking up the next day in terrible sweats. To this day he isn't convinced that it was just a dream, despite merciless mocking from his brother and reassurance from his mother, who almost convinced him it was just a trick of his mind. He has, however, had nightmares of this event regularly across the last few years of his life. His sleep is always light due to this, meaning over the course of his life at Hogwarts he hasn't slept as much as he should have by any stretch of the imagination. He learned one day in Defence Against the Dark Arts that this cloaked, burning figure was his Boggart.

Calvin initially began to learn magic from his father at a very young age as his father was an extremely powerful wizard - however, when he was only a young boy, his father vanished for a week and was found dead in London, seemingly murdered. With no explanation for his father's death, Calvin was given his first taste then of the cruel unforgiving nature of the world. He has since felt grateful that he was given this lesson so early on in his life, preparing him for hardships that would come and pass later on in his life.

When Miles went in to Hogwarts, he was sorted in to Ravenclaw and instantly excelled at the school academically, learning everything there was to know about the world of magic - however, Miles lacked practical skills and was not as talented in classes such as Defence Against the Dark Arts. When Calvin entered the school, however, he contrasted greatly with his brother. Calvin was entered in to Gryffindor and fell behind in classes such as History which required a lot of study and thought - not because he lacked the intelligence, only because he lacked the motivation. However, Calvin was brilliant in the subjects that his brother failed in, performing very well in Defence Against the Dark Arts in particular. Miles could not stand that his brother was better than him at something, and, Miles, being very popular with both teachers and students, got away with pushing his younger brother around quite a lot.

Across his years in Hogwarts, Calvin has struck quite a typical figure, blending in to the crowd for the most part. He was the sort of guy, that, for a long time, had lots of semi-friends, but no great friends who he could truly rely on. He was in many ways quite anonymous, drifting between groups and usually being quite reserved and not really caring what went on between people - however, people did know him around the school as he was never afraid to take risks and lost his head a few times, being known for having one or two fights and for mouthing off at a teacher. Nevertheless, he was the only one who watched his own back until he fell in with his current, small group of friends. Now going in to his final year, Calvin continues to struggle with his theory-based lessons while he is confident in the more active subjects.

Persona Information:
General Traits:
He is very loyal to his friends, and tries to be honest with them if he can, only ever holding the truth back if it would harm them. Some would consider him brave, other reckless, as he can often do things that could get him killed on impulse when others wouldn't even consider it - such as standing up to a criminal with a weapon. Calvin relies on instinct for a lot of things, some times it works out, some times it ends out badly. He appears casual and sometimes quiet whilst in the presence of those he does not know, but can be is comfortable to talk with his friends. He can be very rash in his actions, finding it hard to deal with insults, especially when directed at friends or family of his, in any other way than violence. Deep down he is perhaps not as gruff as he may appear to others, though that is generally a vibe that some people will get from him.

Yeah that was one opening I saw while writing it, but didn't write it in right away in case no one wanted to do that. But openings in her past could be pulling her out of the lake, being someone who dared her to and then regretted it, helping her get on the quidditch team or to the hospital after her injuries, or something in someone else's past. I also put the Forbidden Forest as a dislike in case she ever took an adventure in there with anyone as well that ended badly.

Yeah sure. Any of those could work. Like I said though, as being close friends required loyalty, I think saving someones life would build loyalty better than anything else. I don't know, we'll see what the rest think. :)
