James Forrest is the first born child of Joseph and Ellen Forrest. Both of them attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and were sorted into Gryffindor and Ravenclaw, respectively. During their time at Hogwarts, they were most certainly not friends, to say the least. After graduating and going their separate ways, the two reconnected several years later, found each other to have matured, and the relationship bloomed.

The Forrest family isn’t entirely sure of their “blood status” and doesn’t care either way. Over the generations, their family has contained members who were Muggle-born and “half-bloods.” But to the Forrest family, any person capable of using magic is merely a witch or wizard. Magic is magic, regardless of your pedigree. His parents have been open about this type of thinking with their sons, and James has adopted the same ideaology.

James’ father is a dragonologist, who spends a great deal of his time traveling for his work and studies of dragons. As a result, Mrs. Forrest is a homekeeper and has had her hands plenty full by raising three young sons.

James was born and raised in a small wizarding community located in Ingatestone, England. At the age of three, his first sign of magic happened. Just before his younger brother was born, James had a temper tantrum over his morning breakfast, which resulted in the kitchen windows shattering and the stovetop setting aflame. In the middle of the catastrophe, his parents were absolutely elated.

Being the eldest of three, James is the first of his siblings to attend Hogwarts. And for the first time, he is no longer responsible to watching over his two younger brothers or having to set a good example every waking moment. For once, he's free to explore the world without parental guidance and find out who's he's truly meant to be.

James with a fair skinned boy with dark hair, and to his dismay, piercing blue eyes. The amount of compliments on his eye color has become tiresome, and James would rather not be the center of attention for a generic trait he had no choice of. His mother always told him his smile could brighten a room, but James never believed that to be exactly true. He has a birthmark in the shape of a broomstick on the bottom of his left foot, and a jagged scar on his right thumb from when the family's cat had scratched him two summers ago. He has not been a fan of the foul, feline beasts ever since.

He has resided in the same family home since birth. Although one may consider this stability to be lucky, James has found his eleven years of life to be far too ordinary.

Like any other eleven year-old born to a wizarding family, James has grown up listening to countless tales of his family's escapades during their years at Hogwarts. James yearns to make those same type of life-long memories and knows Hogwarts is just the place to do it.

Equipped with his wand, eagerness to learn, and ambition to succeed, James Forrest is ready to begin the best years of his life. Or, at least what he hopes they are.
