Full Character Name: Remi Filder
Character Birthday & Age: February 1st 1997
City & Country of Birth: Presteigne, Powys
Pureblood, Halfblood or Muggleborn: Halfblood
House & Year: Ravenclaw 2nd year

Wand: Remi's wand is close to 7 1/2 inches that is made of Osage Orange wood and a Dragon Heartstring core. He enjoys keeping in his hand or in his pocket, allowing easy access to it. It's thin but is very dense on the inside so it doesn't break. Remi treats it very well as it it were a fragile piece of clay.

Physical Description: Remi is 4 ft 11 inches and weights 85 lbs. He is skinny and occasionally looks sickly thin. He turns ghost white during the winter but looses his complete paleness during summer. His hair also changes from dark brown to black depending on the season. He has hardly any muscle but that doesn't discourage him. Remi has blue eyes that have a greenish grey center. He can see better than most people having a 15/20 vision. He looks as though he is a weak and feeble person but he can weasel himself out of any hold and can run amazingly fast, probably better than most 4th years. He has nimble fingers that can grasp onto anything.

There is one trait that makes Remi different. Many people do not notice him. He's not invisible but is overlooked by most. At muggle school he was marked late to some of his classes when he was the first one there. If Remi stands in a crowd of people only a handful of people would actually notice him at first glance.

Personality Description: Remi has layers upon layers of personalities. He is not two faced but shows his feelings towards some people differently than others.

    He is usually quiet throughout the year and talks to his wand as if it was his only friend. Before Hogwarts he would keep his thoughts inside and talk to himself when no one was around. He can easily be unseen by most so he will entertain himself by doing tests on others. One was that Remi would try to whisper into people's ears as if he was the wind. But they would turn around and see him. One time that Remi had success in his test was when he lied down on the sidewalk and people didn't notice him until they stepped on him. Not the smartest thing to do but that was how he would feel noticed and not alone.

    If you see Remi without him interacting with you and say "Hi" to him he will be shocked. He might freeze there and run off or will try to talk to you asking "Who are you?"

    When Remi makes friends, he keeps them and will take a bullet (or spell) for them. Due to staying under most people's radar he will do anything "stealthy" that you need him to do. He has successfully snuck up to his muggle friends and whispered answers then returning to his seat without the teacher noticing. Another time was when he was able to walk out of class to tutor his friends. It took about 10 minutes for people to start noticing he was gone.

    He has begun to realize that most of stealthy shenanigans are wrong and has begun to change. After learning a few spells in his first year at Hogwarts he has been able to cast a few without people noticing. For example, having a muffin float out of another students hand or listen in on gossip without getting noticed; simple things.

History: Remi's parents were both Halfbloods and both attended Hogwarts. They didn't notice each other until after when they applied for the same job. They both wanted to become an Obliviator for the Ministry of Magic. As they lined up for the job application they noticed each other again, it was love at first sight and from then on their story unfolded.

    On February 1st 1997 Remi was born. His father, Charlie Filder, was in bed and his mother, Teressa Filder, was outside enjoying the night. At exactly 6:00 am her water broke and was rushed to the hospital, after 3 hours Remi was brought into the world at 9:14 am.

    Before he learned to walk, his parents knew what was happening. They began to take notice when Remi's mother was walking down the street with him in a stroller. Almost everyone thought she was walking an empty stroller due to Remi being very quiet and hiding under his blanket. Only 1 or 2 people stopped to talk with her about her new babe. She just shrugged it off and thought that Remi was very unique.

    Remi began to notice around the age of 6 that he was different. His parents had some idea why but just accepted it. Then Remi started wondering about unexplained happenings around his house. He only it happen every once in a while but with having plenty of time to think he eventually found a way to get his parents to squeal. They told him about real magic and couldn't wait for him to go to Hogwarts. Now being 6 this was hard to comprehend but Remi soaked this information in over a few weeks.

    When Remi was 7 his dog was out in the street. He was sitting on the deck, observing the street goers when a speeding car came around the corner, aiming for his dog. He saw the car and became so afraid that he accidentally moved his dog into the lawn and pushed the car back. His dog rolled 10ft onto the lawn and the car swerved for a good 5 seconds and then drove away much faster. His parents saw the whole thing and realized what this meant...so did Remi.

    Around the age of 9, Remi began to steal tests and quizzes for the rest of the class to make money. The teachers never knew who did it so it only encouraged Remi to steal more. He eventually began to steal not just quizzes but actual items until one day at school Remi stole a girls necklace. her boy friend found out and well... Remi went home with a bloody nose and a black eye that afternoon. His parents were mad but more worried and scared for their child. After a few days of recovery Remi began to become more shy of strangers and less talkative to his parents.

    When he received his letter to Hogwarts his parents spent the day off and brought Remi to purchase his wand. The shop owner saw Remi and immediately found the wand that desired the boy. Within moments Remi became attached to it and whenever he couldn't talk about his problems he would know that his wand knew what was going on.

Remi's first year at Hogwarts was really uneventful. He blended in like a chameleon. Classes here and there, gossip and such, the usual. He has made almost little progress to making friends but is beginning to realize that more and more people think hat talking to a wand is weird.

Classes:

Core Classes Astronomy Charms Defense Against the Dark Arts Herbology History of Magic Potions Transfiguration No

Electives No No No No No

How Do You Fit Into Your House?: Remi wasn't difficult to place, but not easy either. His past made him not Hufflepuff suited but not as bad  as Slytherin. He was chosen for RavenClaw due to his smarts for magic and to "test" the new him.

Writing Sample: N/A

Sum up your character in one paragraph: Remi is a shy guy, and goes unnoticed to most. He will open up to those who see him all the time and will be loyal to the very end when befriended. His past is still lingering with him so he is still chalk full of surprises.
