Xenoxilius Blackthorn
Status:
Half-blood
Nationality:
Scottish
Residence:
Glasgow, Scotland
Function:
First year, Slytherin
Wand:
32,1 cm ash wood and unicorn hair
Personality:

Xenoxilius (or Xeno, as he insists his friends call him) is generally kind, but not afraid to try and benefit himself by manipulating others. Of course, this is only to a certain degree; he is not cruel, or heartless, and he would never put his friends in an inescapable situation using blackmail or any other means.
He is extremely shy and even anxious about meeting new people and having to introduce himself, but is a fast friend as long as you treat him kindly. However, he is not stupidly loyal, and should you betray him, he will not forgive you easily, and he will never forget.
He enjoys friendly and competitive games, but not senseless violence. He would love to try flying a broom, but he has never had a chance. His favourite colour is purple, and he absolutely loves snakes, especially black mambas, even though they are extremely dangerous. He wishes he were a parseltounge, but no such luck.
One of his favourite hobbies is ceilidh dancing, which is a type of traditional Scottish dancing. He also loves to read, whether it's fiction or non-fiction, he enjoys gaining knowledge from any book he can get his hands on.

Appearance:

Xeno isn't particularly tall, for a boy, standing at 5 foot, but he still has a while in which he could still grow. He is pretty skinny, with pointy elbows and knees, since he doesn't do many physical activities, apart from dancing. He has pale skin, grey-blue eyes, and dark brown hair. The tips of his fringe are dyed purple, on account of it being his favourite colour. He has a habit of biting his nails and his lips, making his nails short and leaving a dent in his lip. His hair always falls in his eyes.

Origin:

Xeno was born to a half-blood witch, called Zoe Blackthorn, and a wealthy muggle, called Ximen Oldhill. The reason for his name, in fact, is that it is traditional for his father's family to have names that begin with X. When Xeno was six, his father saw his performing accidental magic. As Zoe had never told him of the wizarding world, he believed his son was possessed. Zoe ended up telling him, and he was furious, cursing her and all of magic. He then promptly divorced her, disowned Xeno and threw them both out. The travelled together to Glasgow, where Zoe found a job and Xeno continued his schooling.
After that, she taught him more about magic, giving him books, telling him stories, even letting him use her wand and try to cast some of the simple spells in the book. He managed to master Lumos and Wingardium Leviosa, and got pretty good at a few others. The experience of his mother teaching him spells, with so much passion, is what fuelled his thirst for knowledge. When he was ten he managed to get a part-time job, since he had proved to be responsible enough to handle it.
When he turned eleven, he took his first-ever floo ride to platform 93/4, and boarded the Hogwarts Express, going, at last, to Hogwarts, where he was sorted into Slytherin.
