Hunter VanDerbergSeventeen year old Muggleborn
from Asch, Netherlands"Did you just say HAOIFE? What the hell is that even supposed to mean?" Summary
Since his brother Jack's death, Hunter is hardly the person that he used to be. Once happy, conceited and popular, Hunter has turned bitter and unsociable, and turned to alcohol and other less-than-suitable pastimes to escape the pain. Though it's been a year since the tragedy shook their family, Hunter is still grieving. However, despite the negative changes that the loss of his brother caused, Hunter is finally beginning to grow as a person in response to everything that has been through. The injustice of what happened is finally beginning to spur him forward and give him purpose in life again. Hunter still doesn't enjoy company, and is blunt and angry with many people. However, he is coming to understand that there are certain people who he cares about more than he realized. Those people, he's finally letting in. This term, he's beginning to find himself again. He's starting to laugh and make jokes and recover some of his humor. He's realizing that, though he'll never truly recover from such a terrible loss, he has to continue living. Because that's what Jack would have wanted.

Interactions
Hunter has a lot of friends, but has been neglecting most of them due to the changes he's been going through in his life. He an primarily be found with Ariel Wilde, but also with Aoife O'Donnell or Blake Ralston. Hunter is a complex person who doesn't want much to do with anyone other than his very close friends or his siblings. As he's finding his sense of purpose again, he would be slightly more inclined to interact with those around him than before, and less likely to snap at those bothering him, but generally dislikes people by default. He's easily irritated, and it's pretty difficult to get on his good side at this point in his life.
Whereabouts
When at school, Hunter can most commonly be found somewhere on the grounds - a particular tree by the lake is his most typical spot. He also spends a lot of time at the Quidditch Pitch. He can easily be found in the common room, kitchens, or working on a potion in the spare classroom. He generally avoids the library. On weekends, he spends a lot of his time in various locations around Hogsmeade, and works at Zonko's during the week.
If you'd like to thread with Hunter...
PM me or catch me in the chatbox to see if I have time and discuss an idea for a thread. Hunter is a very detailed character and I'd like to avoid "small talk" threads with him. I also prefer to thread him with people who can write at least 3-4 paragraphs. If we can come up with an interesting idea, then I'm all for it!
Jack VanDerberg
Sixteen year old Muggle
Deceased
from Asch, Netherlands"Alright, come on, tell me. What did my idiot brother do now?" Summary
Jack is, to put it simply, the coolest muggle that you'll ever meet. He literally came out of the womb radiating awesomeness. The oldest of four, he's typically the one that his siblings approach for advice on just about anything. And that's great, because Jack has a knack for giving good advice. While he doesn't particularly like people in general, he's outwardly friendly and has no trouble talking to anybody. Jack is hardworking and helpful in nature, but much more humble than his egotistical brother. He's fluent in sarcasm, and typically deals with people that he doesn't like by insulting them right in front of their face without them actually realizing that his words were an insult. He's not easily excited, and has a very logical outlook on most situations. He has a few friends, but doesn't feel the need to spend time with people all the time. Despite the fact that all of his siblings are magical, Jack isn't jealous of their talent. In truth, he finds it a little odd, but loves them anyway.

Jack is particularly easy to get along with. He's easygoing, approachable, and doesn't mind helping others out. He's also perfectly comfortable doing the approaching, if he has a reason to. He's not shy by any means. He loves sports, and is extremely likely to ask to join a pickup game if he sees one. He doesn't have any enemies, but could easily make a few if someone were to insult or threaten himself or his family.
Whereabouts
Since Jack is a muggle, he's normally found at his home in the Netherlands, working with his parents on the farm. Occasionally, his family has to travel to London for this or that, so he could be caught there during the school year. During summer, he can be found once or twice in Diagon Alley and the surrounding area, when his siblings go to pick up their school supplies.

Matthew BennettThirteen year old Halfblood
from London, England"Incendio!" Summary
Matthew is probably the most annoying person that you will ever meet. He's incredibly hyper, and talks way too much. He tends to repeat himself multiple times within the same sentence, and is an absolute pyromaniac. He has a deep level of obsession with fire, and spends almost all of his free time studying and practicing fire spells. He's very outgoing and will talk to almost anybody. He tends to say whatever comes to his mind, and can easily sound rude because of it. He typically means well, however, and enjoys being around people. He absolutely loves his big brother Ollie, and thinks he's the coolest person in the world!

Interactions
Matthew can interact with just about anyone. He's incredibly outgoing and forward, and can find a reason to go up to anyone and talk to them. He makes friends easily, but can also get annoyed just as easily when others don't agree with him. He's likely to have tons of friends, and could potentially have some enemies but would probably not realize that they're enemies. He doesn't really harbor any ill-will toward anyone, except for maybe Ariadne, and doesn't see how anyone could dislike him either.
Whereabouts
While at Hogwarts, Matthew can typically be found either in the Slytherin Common Room, or in the middle courtyard practicing fire spells. He works at the Three Broomsticks throughout the week and can often be found there. In the summer, he lives with his family in London, and can be found in any of the surrounding area.
