APPEARANCE

With a height of 138.4 cm and a weight of 30.6 kg, he is rather small with a bony frame for his age. His skin possesses a cadaverous pale tone, which accentuates his glacial blue eyes wrapped with long eyelashes. His face is shaped like a heart with rosebud lips, a sharp nose, and darkish eyebrows. Features that give him some kind of charms. He has pronounced cheekbones and sharp jawline for his age, but his most distinguishing feature is his freckles dispersed on his cheeks, barely visible from afar. His silvery hair tends to be wavy and long on top, but short and straight on the side making him look classy. It is rare to see him without his herbology book.

Chronicles

The Morrel heir was born on the evening of October 31, throughout the annual festival of Samhain, marking the end of the harvest season. That festival presented great importance in the family's traditions. The child's arrival brought delight in the Verburgh-Morrel household as he would later acquire the duty of the patriarch while assuming the ownership of the Verburgh Manor and cottage.

Most of his pre-school life was spent learning about traditions, beliefs, and history. The boy who grew quite devious often escaped his lessons to help his mother with the familial greenhouse or to simply spare some time with his older and younger siblings.

Meanwhile, Timothy started to attempt Otterburn First School, a muggle institution. It is where he met Isaac Nassif, a muggle from a mulish household, and Cho Wang, a Chinese girl, later on, revealed as a muggle-born witch. Together, they developed a significant bond that traveled throughout his years before he received his Hogwarts letter.

FIRST MAGICAL EXPERIENCE

This phenomenon occurred on a calm evening in June. The young heir had yet to show any trace of magical heritage, and his parents feared the possibility of a squib in their family. A year before his acceptance at Hogwarts, Timothy attended his evening lesson. He had grown stultified of being held captive while he could be outside with his schoolmates, Cho, and Isaac. As a result, the boy was in a frenetic mood. As if it was planned, his pencil rolled off his wooden desk, almost impacting with the floor, but just as he was about to reach it, it started to levitate a few centimeters off the ground.

MORREL
The Morrel family reveals itself as a draconian household. Fixated on laws and responsibilities, most of it's representatives professionally orientated themselves as Obliviators or Unspeakables for the British Ministry of Magic (Department of Mystery and Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes). Several branches of the Morrel family were established in Northumberland (UK), but as stories go, some were also found in North America. Historians believe those branches of the family would have most likely immigrated around 1815, throughout a dreadful period of their history.
VERBURGH
The Verburgh family is esteemed for its extensive knowledge of Herbology and a great affinity with nature. Seen as flexible and kind-hearted individuals, the witches, and wizards of the Verburgh household enjoy social events and traditions. Their annual Samhain festivities and dance tradition are renowned in their town. Over the centuries, the representatives of the house seized numerous botanical tomes and gathered them in the familial library at their manor. They possess a gigantic greenhouse where they make use of their proficiency to grow exotic plants and herbs. In the late 1950's, they opened an apothecary which has been prosperous since then. Members of this family often become herbologists or potionists.

SEER LINAGE

As critical as the year 1815 was in the Muggle world with events such as the Battle of Waterloo and the peace treaty (Treaty of Paris) between the United States and the United Kingdom, it was also a challenging year for the Morrel/Griffiths family. The familial affair was not as prosperous as they expected and a series of doomful events rotted their notoriety in the wizarding community.

As tradition dictated, a Morrel lad was always supposed to marry a Griffiths lass. The origin of this came from a few centuries back when the Morrel patriarch made a certain agreement with the Griffiths household. To these days, it is unclear why this bargain ever existed, their history most likely lost or forgotten over the large span of time. Nevertheless, the Griffiths family was one of many rumors and feared by plenty. They were said to be cursed and to bring bad omens to those interacting with them. Originating from Central Europe, most of its representatives attended Beauxbâtons and specialized themselves in Divination or Astrology. It was even said that some members were gifted seers. Information that would, later on, be proven correct.

The family acquired the worst of their reputation in the summer of 1815. Aida Loretta Griffiths, a direct ancestor of Timothy on his father's family branch and sole known seer of her generation, lived in Elsdon, Northumberland in the United Kingdom with her husband and children. The Muggle-town already had its loads of tragedy as many lads went missing and there were reports of murders cases in early 1790. In this context, the citizens of the town were distrustful of strangers and paranormal events. The Griffiths' seer and her husband possessed a small business near St Cuthbert's Church. They tended to old manuscripts and tomes to sell them in their athenaeum. However, on a rather ominous night of July, Aida fell victim to a tragic vision of what was to ensue. In a gullible attempt to prevent her vision to come true, she decided to inform their neighbors of the imminent tragedy. It did not go as expected. In the next week, the villagers started to spread rumors about her delusive behaviors and many began to label her as a freak. A month later, the incident occurred has she predicted. The young lad she identified in her vision disappeared into thin air and was discovered again without life along the lakeshore. Terror-Stricken, the residents of Elsdon accused her of witchcraft and exposed her to the priest of St Cuthbert. A week later, Aida was found guilty of her crimes and got castigate for them. The husband of Aida Griffiths, Olivier Morrel managed to obliviate this incident from the muggles' memories with the help of the British Ministry of Magic, but not without consequences which included the loss of his wife's life.

This episode shattered the family, as they mourned a loved member of their household, and as they lost their credibility among the wizarding community for almost disclosing their most guarded secret to muggles. In this day and age, the tragedy is still well-remembered and always mentioned to the new generation as a reminder that seers brought misfortunes to the family. In light of these facts, Imogen Eva Griffiths, Timothy's grandmother, and last living scion of the Griffiths household spend hours revealing him their shameful history, influencing him on his view of seers while calling them ''Evil Eye'' and almost blaspheming those harboring this gift. The Morrel heir who had a close bond with his grandmother never truly questioned her beliefs on the matter.

[...]

Throughout most of his childhood, Timothy Herbert Morrel, the first son of Julian Eldric Morrel, believed to be the victim of night terrors. He would frequently wake up in the night, covered in sweat and breathing erratically from the exhaustion caused by theses visions. Flashes of sceneries, colors, and random animals seized his mind when they occurred. Theses episodes became more often the older he grew, developing into a problematic condition depriving him of sleep. With time, Timothy noticed locations he would visit a few days or weeks after the incident but decided to ignore this piece of information as he could have easily gone there beforehand thus making theses peculiar visions purposeless. However, after a few reoccurrences, he convinced himself to have an exchange with Imogen about the matter. She dismissed him, concluding he was simply having nightmares which could be frequent in childhood. After that, Timothy normalized theses events and repressed them as much as he could. He also decided to refrain from speaking about it to the rest of his family in order to avoid any embarrassment. Occasionally, Timothy will appear at certain locations exactly at the right time to prevent or to assist something or someone as if it was foreseen, but again, since it does not arrive often, he simply discards circumstance. As of now, Timothy still has no idea about his ''condition'' since most symptoms appear at an older age.
