Name: Caleb Fairweather
Age: 15
Blood Status: Half-Blood, His father is Quentien Black, and his mother was a Muggleborn named Mary Fairweather. After Quentien was disowned by his family, he adopted his wifes name as a way to put his previous life behind him.
House: RAVENCLAW
School Position: N/A
Wand: 12 inch Dogwood, Dragon Core, Solid.
Appearance: Dark brown hair, pale skin, dark green eyes, average build, broad shoulders, soft features, rough hands, a bit short for his age.
Family Reputation(s): Being a black would normally be a good thing, but Quentien's rather dramatic disowning after arguing with his family, primarily his father and head of the black family, left Quentien's reputation in less than salvageable conditions. His mother Mary had been from Virginia, making him a half-blood in the magic and non-magic standards. Fairweather however carries no real weight or meaning in the magical world, and only those aware of his fathers Identity known him as the son of a bloodtraitor who slinked off to the colonies after being disowned. For those who don't know, Caleb is simply a wizard from an unremarkable family.
History: Caleb grew up in a small cottage in Virginia, away from most people with his mother Mary and father Quentien. Mary was a local girl from Jamestown, who had been forced to give up her old life when it was discovered she was a muggleborn, a dangerous thing to be in the new colonies, especially with some of the more fanatical in the area. Her parents cut ties with her as soon as someone from the ministry came to contact them, giving them over as an Orphan. She's grown up her whole life having to work hard, and attending hogwarts she was one of the top of her class throughout the years, all through hard work and diligence. Quentien had a much more sheltered life, the son from a powerful pureblood line with great influence in the wizarding world, Quentien was essentially expected to do two things, excel at magic and produce an heir, little more use for someone as far down the line as him. He struggled to meet the expectations of his father, and it was during his time at Hogwarts that he met Mary, the two becoming good friends and study partners after Quentien went through a rebellious phase that never quite stopped.
Quentien maintained a long distance relationship with Mary, until the rest of his family discovered his activities and ordered him to stop. Quentien refused, even suggesting that an heir with someone as talented as Mary would be better than marrying another girl from a pureblood house. That remark earned his name being blasted off the tapestry, and his name as a Black being dragged through the mud to the point it held no worth. Quentien lost his friends, his family, and most of his assets thanks to his various siblings and families calling in of favors. Mary and Quentien however did get married, and had enough to set up a comfortable, if sparse, life in the woods of Virginia, their magic serving them well in growing their own food, getting water, and surviving off of nature as best they can, usually going into town only to trade. It was here that Caleb was born, and here he grew up with barely anyone else around, spending most of his times not helping his parents tend to chores with reading books or exploring the woods, climbing trees and rarely interacting with others.
Caleb was a strange lad, learning to read and write before he learned to speak properly from books and watching his parents do so, and seemed to enjoy nature quite a bit, even more so than either of his parents. When Caleb first manifested his power for magic, it was making a pumpkin inflate to the point it exploded. He was invited to Hogwarts the next week, and his parents dotted over him as they prepared him for his first years at the school. They spent some of the money Quentien had saved up, exhausting it in getting him the proper uniform and needed materials, getting him his wand, and of course a pet, which ended up being a tabby cat he named Eryma, after the Erymanthian Boar, due to his cats fur pattern looking like a baby boars. His first year of hogwarts was a difficult transition to go through, especially with his shyness and aversion to speaking to others. But thanks to being around others for years, and in a small part due to the nature of his wand, Caleb has slowly grown into a more comfortable speaker, though he prefers to keep things short and sweet. His time has been somewhat average, as far as students go, and Caleb seems to really enjoy subjects where he does things with his hands, over more lecture or thought based lessons.
