NOT WHAT IS EASY
Kieran Alabaster Marshall was born on a particularly sunny and springlike last day of February. His older sisters used to tease him about only having a birthday every fourth year, as he in fact was born on leap day, however it took more than that to upset him as a child. He grew up in a busy, but loving home environment with both parents working full time and three sisters, two older and one younger, to keep him occupied. Everyone was welcome at the Marshall's, and a day without a crowd of at least 9 people around the dinnertable was considered an odd one.
Being born into a magical bloodline, getting a Hogwarts-letter at age 11 was a given, yet Kieran, like many other wizard-children before him, was beyond pleased when receiving his. He was sorted into Hufflepuff House like his father and older sisters, and just like his family before him, he thrived at school and quickly became well-respected in class (particularly gifted at Arithmancy and Ancient runes alike) and popular outside of it. People seemed to trust him and appreciate his humour, his sense of fairness and his unusual mindset, and he found great honour in having people confiding in him - which his friends still do to this day. He is a great listener, and prefers taking on other peoples problems so he does not have to deal with his own (luckily those are minor, and he considers himself to be rather stable as a person).

"To be trusted is a greater compliment than being loved."
– George MacDonald
Over the years he accumulated a wide variety of friendships, and whilst some were merely platonic, most of them are serious to this day, and are acquaintances he values deeply. Important mentions here would be fellow Hufflepuff's Esther Darling, with whom he contemplates over the day, as well as Fawn Davenport and Charlene Prescott from Ravenclaw.
His relationship with Noah McClair is difficult to explain, yet the pair seem to compliment each other personality-wise and are often seen chatting and joking around the halls. Although the Hufflepuff/Slytherin-combination is rare indeed, this particular one has been going for such a long time, that people hardly notice anymore - or at least nobody has dared pointing out the differences in their respective families values.
One would think that his relationship with Noah would be the very end of it, but Kieran has in fact managed to turn yet another Slytherin's head - although it could be argued, it actually happened the other way around. His relationship with Rosie Cresswell is an ongoing rollercoaster, meaning they're as close as can be; Kieran might be one of the few people at Hogwarts who can coax a smile out of the porcelain-faced Slytherin, whilst she can get him to expose his deepest, darkest secrets with a single look.
Yet the pair are facing much more serious issues than the common difficulties of having to admit their feelings for each other. Because whilst they get along nicely, their families certainly do not: Kieran's older sister Naomi caused an outright scandal at home when she announced she was going to be working with Mr. Cresswell, Rosie's father, who returned the favour by threatening his own daughter after having received news of her associations with Kieran.
Nothing is certain apart from their obvious connection, and the fact that they are gonna need each other in what's to come, but it is yet to be determined wether the Marshall and Cresswell-pride is going to stand in the way of the further development of their relationship./justify]

"No act of kindness, no matter how small,
is ever wasted."
– Aesop
Honest· Unselfish· Trustworthy· Imaginative· Intuitive· Sensitive.
This is a man filled with subtle emotions, and dream like charm. His kind heart and open mind pulls you in before you realise you are his. He is compassionate. Selfless. Born from a place of philosophical thinking. Although you can't quite put your finger on it, there is something that makes him truly handsome. His eyes offer an intensity, an honesty, a gentleness. He is beautiful. But what he is, what is most beautiful about him, comes from deep within. His spirit. He is a warrior, soft but strong.
Ruled by Neptune, love is in his blood. It runs through him, in all that he does. He is sensitive, but his soul draws people in and that is part of his magic. It is what makes him so wonderful. This is a man capable of a once in a lifetime love. He will fall deeply, and all at once. If you get close, you can see the spark in his eyes. He has lips you want to reach up and touch and a mystery that adds to his incredible charm. He is respectful. Loyal with a warmth that radiates from deep within and takes your breath away. This man is the truest form of a gentleman. He brings kindness and fruition. He is a gift. Unforgettable.

POWERS & ABILITIES

PUREBLOOD
"Quote."
– X
Wizardkind are humans that are born with the ability to perform magic. The magical ability is an inherited trait, usually passed from parent to child. While pure-bloods are born of two wizarding parents and half-bloods are often born of one wizard and one muggle or muggle-born parent, muggle-born wizards and witches are born with their magical abilities because they are distant descendants of a squib (a magical child with no magical abilities) whom marries into a muggle-family. From that point on, the branch of the wizarding family often loses all traces of its wizarding legacy, which resurfaces many generations later in a muggle-born descendant.
In order to fully control one's inner magic, a witch or wizard needs a wand in oder to channel the power in their bloodstream.
|CHARMS|A charm, also known as an enchantment, is a spell that adds certain properties to an object or individual. Charms are distinguished from transfigurations in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object; it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is. For example, the Colour Change Charm causes something to flash different colours; the Levitation Charm causes an object to levitate, the Cheering Charm improves upon a creature's mood.
|TRANSFIGURATION|Transfiguration is a branch of magic that focuses on the alteration of the form or appearance of an object, via the alteration of the object's molecular structure. Transfiguration can be done to most (if not all) objects and, as with most forms of magic, it includes - but is hardly limited to - Transfiguration spells.
|JINXES & CURSES|A curse was a type of dark charm which was used for the worst kinds of dark magic. The most heinous of the three dark charms, curses came in many strengths and forms, but were usually reserved for causing immense suffering to the victim, such as excruciating pain, mind control, or even death.
|POTIONS|Potions (Latin potio, 'beverage') are magical mixtures commonly brewed in cauldrons and used to create a number of magical effects on the drinker. Potions range in effects, nature, and brewing difficulty. An example of a beginners potion is the Cure for Boils, which is the first potion learned at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredibly advanced and challenging one is the Polyjuice Potion, that even adult Witches and Wizards have trouble with.
|APPARITION|Apparition is a magical form of transportation, in which the user travels instantly from one location to another, without traversing the space in-between. This is accomplished by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind and then purposely disappearing from where they were, to reappear at the desired location. Apparition is by far the fastest way to get to a desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched. The ability to apparate was a relatively advanced skill for wizards.
