Gender: Male
Age: 17

Family:
Father - Adrien St. Amant, 45: Adrien works for the Ministry of Magic’s International Relations section as an established diplomat. A traveler, he found himself in love one “magical” evening with Japanese seamstress Haruka Masami while dealing with the Ministries in Hiroshima. Adrien returned to England and settled down becoming a father and loving husband.
Mother – Haruka St. Amant, 40: Haruka was born into a family of 2 other daughters, she being the youngest. Her father had tried desperately to conceive a son but loved his daughters nonetheless. Growing up she found that boys would often show her sisters more attention due to their age, making her marriage future seem rather bleak. After she took over her mother’s business running the Kimono Shop, she had come to terms with the single life until she met Adrien. Haruka moved from Japan with her father’s blessings and began life in England with her husband opening a tailoring shop, where she creates beautiful robes, dresses, kimonos, and other tailored goods.
House Elf – Aldric, male: An old family friend who survived generations of St. Amants. He watches over Darius as if he was his own flesh and blood. He understands the nature of boys having taken care of dozens of them throughout the family’s history. Thus he can be quite lenient but strict when necessary. Aldric resides in the St. Amant’s attic with a cozy section to himself.
Diving Deeper: Darius St. Amant, quoted as one of the “most sweetest badasses that walked the earth” is by nature a troublemaker. He has a fondness for everything dangerous, exciting, and deadly, hence his vast collection of swords, knives and other sharp items. However, as the quote suggested he has a sentimental side to him, which comes out often when concerning people he cares for (and his rat, Shanks). This being said, Darius is a very friendly and welcoming person, able to make friends quite easily. Even though he enjoys causing a ruckus every now and again, Darius is quite studious, and often is found in his family’s orchard reading books beyond his grade level. If he is not reading, then he can be found conducting experiments with different potions under the permission of his father, and supervision of Aldric. Nevertheless, his daring attitude and bravery gave him the look and feel of a true Gryffindor.
Patronus: Snow Wolf
A Closer Look: Darius sat on a tree branch in the family apple orchard, with a book on mythical creatures in his lap. Shanks, perched on his shoulder with his tail curled around Darius’ neck, let out a squeak and bit gently on Darius’ ear to tell him he was hungry. Darius smiled and understood, taking a throwing star from his belt. It was one of a set of four his grandfather had sent him as a 16th birthday present, understanding that his grandson had an affinity for sharp objects like himself. It was a four pointed star, silver in color with an engraved dragon coiling in the center. Darius ran his fingers along the edges of the points gently before placing it between two fingers and flinging it at a lush red apple hanging from a higher branch. The apple fell right into Darius’ hand with a gentle thud. Its ruby skin glistened in the setting sun’s light. Darius removed a butterfly knife from his pocket and flicked his wrist, swinging the blade out and latching the handle shut. With perfect precision he cut a slice from the apple and held the piece up to Shanks. Shanks sniffed it and squeaked in glee; red apples were his favorite treat. Darius continued to read, letting Shanks nibble on the slice until he had his fill, then cut a slice for himself. Shanks curled up on Darius’ shoulder, his breathing steady and gentle, Darius reached up and petted Shanks before reading on to the next chapter about Draugrs.
