Good ol' Dor is back again. I'm changing him up a bit though. Not sure how much just yet. But he needs some work.

Dorado is sure of himself in almost every degree. He was rarely denied anything growing up and quickly found that he's good at what he likes to do. That's not to say he doesn't work for it, he does. He's just lucky enough to have that extra bit of talent adding to what he accomplishes. He's a social person, enjoying conversing with people of different backgrounds and learning from them. He strives to treat everyone with the respect they deserve. Dor loves attention and is not afraid to stand out with what he does. He'll answer any question in class, pull impressive maneuvers on the Quidditch pitch, and often speak out loud and at length of his various accomplishments. He'll gladly play up the accomplishments of his friends too, so long as he's the one who gets to tell the story. He can be a competitive guy, enjoying proving that he's better at Potions or Quidditch, and he finds it very difficult to be a graceful loser when he's bested.
Despite his best efforts to be respectful towards everyone, he often falls short. Because of his confidence in his own judgment and beliefs, he can be self-righteous when it comes to the treatment of non-wizards, letting him conveniently overlook the lack of respect he's currently showing for a witch or wizard. He considers himself above those who lack both talent and the work ethic to make up for a lack of talent. He figures there's no excuse to not be good at something. Adding to his list of shortcomings in the respect department is the way he can be with girls. It's not that he feels women are inferior; his mother taught him that lesson very well. No, he's just a teenage boy who often overlooks the feelings and personalities of young women in his quest to get some action. But it's harmless, it's not like he's actually gone after another girl while in a relationship. Well... except that one time. It's clear that despite his well-meaning values, he's still got a lot of learning to do about humans and magical creatures alike before he can truly make a difference.
He enjoys a good party and a good time. Being around people is an enjoyable experience for him and he never passes up an opportunity to make a new connection. He waves away any concerns that he could damage his reputation for the future with a favorite quote from his father: "No politician is to be trusted. But I'd take one who's flaws I can see over one who seems flawless."

Dorado was was born to two magical parents in Arizona. The two run their own apothecary on the outskirts of Tucson. Growing up an only child, Dorado always considered himself something special. His parents' love and full support gave him the confidence to go after any goal he had, no matter how small or how outlandish it may be. His parents allowed him to learn for himself what was within his limits rather than squash any dreams outright. The family had a simple routine, with Rafa making a show of driving to work each morning while Columba "stayed home" to be a "good housewife" and also home-school Dor.
He spent many days of his early years Floo-ing back and forth between his house in the city and their shop just outside it. His parents made their best effort to run the apothecary while taking the extra time to teach Dorado. His mother was an excellent teacher in the simpler aspects of her work and an endless source of information on their nights staring at the skies, but the rest of his education fell on Rafa's shoulders. He showed his son what he needed to be a proper presence in the world: the basic arithmetic anyone needed to get by, the who's, what's, when's, and where's of American wizard culture, the importance of talking to people. Although Dor's grandparents disapproved of their primarily Muggle neighborhood and those Muggles found the Iturbide's rather odd, Dor managed to make acquaintances among the kids in the neighborhood and found that they weren't really that much different from his own family. They were no more different than his grandparents were from American wizards.
His parents' apothecary served as the primary source of potions and ingredients in much of the area between Texas and California, and his mother often had to restock. From an early age, Dorado was fascinated by the man who dealt in ingredients from magical creatures. He came in every month with wild stories and great quantities of ingredients for his mother. As he grew up and slowly got to know the man that was Ezra Noyer, he learned more and more about the magical natural world. Specifically, he how unhappy it was with wizard-kind.
When it came time to go to Salem Witch's Institute, Dorado was overjoyed at the idea of finally learning more about magical creatures for himself as well as the art to which his mother had devoted her life. Over his time at Salem, as he grew and got to know the world and hismelf a little better there were a few things that became clear to him. One was that he was pretty good at Quiddtich, and that was a good way to draw the attention of girls. Another, was that the world magic community showed no responsibility in its interactions with non-wizards. Muggles and magical creatures a like were treated as second-class beings. They had no say in anything involving wizards and witches, the wizards showed little to no concern on how their decisions affected them. He began to think that he was the one who would do something about it. He chose his classes in his third year with the intention of one day going on to represent the interests of magical beings and muggles alike. After graduating from Salem Witch's Institute he plans to either attend a Muggle University or spend a few years assisting Mr. Noyer in his work, perhaps one then the other. Following that he wishes to become a representative in the Republic once he feels he really understands these outside parties.

The Iturbide family goes back a long way. A proud Pureblood family of what is now northern Spain, their history has all the bright and dark spots you'd expect. Despite the importance placed on blood, Dor's ancestors were able to get in good graces with Muggle nobility through various favors and manipulations. Their influence inside was such that when a Squib happened to occur within their family, a good amount of magic was employed to plant them into the Muggle upper class, keeping them secret from the wizarding world. The observant among the Itrubides' acquaintances would notice, however, that their dealing with Muggles became particularly fruitful with the sudden but unnoticed appearance of a new Muggle family.
This alliance was not to last, however, as the International Statute of Secrecy came into play. Mercurio Iturbide suddenly found it necessary to cut off all contact with his distant cousins, as well as give up all the benefits it had afforded him. Fortunately, he saw great opportunity in the New World. Lands were sold, Muggles were obliviated, and an ocean was crossed. While they would never hold the same level of power they once did, the Iturbide's did well in Mexico. They were comfortable and respected. Generations later, Moises and Helena sent their three sons off to Salem. Despite his parents' high expectations and his brothers' excellence at... everything, Rafael Iturbide showed no magical talent. Whether putting in minimal effort or devoting all his time, his performance in anything was just average. Still, there was a sort of magnetism to him. Friendly, kind-hearted, and enthusiastic, people couldn't help but fall for his humble charm.
Columba Rocha came from a long magical line as well, but hers was more tangled. The large intermingling of cultures in her parents' native Brasil meant while her blood was completely magical (so far as anyone could tell) her ancestry was a little more difficult to follow. Her father's name was nothing special, and they had no notable fortune to speak of. This is what prompted the move to the United States where he raised his first and only daughter. Columba's parents, in an unfamiliar place with only their neighboring wizards to help, send Columba to Salem Witches Institute in hopes that the school's reputation and resources would provide the best opportunities for her. She proved to be a talented witch, particularly shining in her works in Potions and Astronomy. And while her looks drew significant attention from the young wizards at the school, she remained firmly focused on her studies.
In his seventh year, Rafael made a habit of dropping by the apothecary in Honeycutt any chance he got. He was smitten with the assistant, a young witch who had graduated two years ahead of him. Needless to say she eventually fell for his charm, and three years later the two married and moved to Arizona.
