Demeanor:sarcastic and remarkably ornery, acquired a candid, "no bullshit" policy, and it shows on straight laced features
Personality:Lucy is eccentric, in all mannerisms. She isn't fond of people, but does have a fascination of old world antiques and memorabilia. She has come to understand that it is impossible to get anywhere in life without people, and so, suffers through the social interactions with half-assed courteous manners. Of course, it isn't to say that she's mean, or unlikable. Her candid, down-to-earth demeanor is usually quite refreshing in the face of a superficial world, and so, she's managed to find friends, few as they are. She's also impulsive, and rather strictly abides by the rule of it being "easier to ask for forgiveness than to seek permission." She's bold, but patient. She may not like certain individuals but she won't go out of her way to make that known. She isn't so much spiteful as she is jealous and vain. She loves to draw attention to herself, but conversely, acts irrationally whenever in the spotlight. For some reason, any rational form of thinking is thrown out of the window and whatever first thing to pop into her mind is usually what comes out next.
Birth:Lucy was born to Amy Lowe, a German muggle counselor for children, and Lucas Addario, a half-blood Italian inventor. Her mother had always been a bit reclusive and distant toward her own family, it always made her seem cold. If Lucy looked back now, she would realize that her mother had just been severely depressed. As a baby, she only noticed her mothers absence and her father's gentle words. Financially unstable, her mother worked long hours with little days off and her father tinkered on projects with hundreds of disappointments. Still, she was cared for, and well-loved by her father and his family, Uncle Niko and Aunt Vermonia, both half-bloods. Unfortunately, the marriage between Amy and Lucas ended just before Lucy had turned three. It didn't take long for her father to find himself a new wife, and a new baby boy son.
Childhood:Lucinda, in her earliest memories, had always despised her baby brother, Leon. She had always blamed him for the failure of her mother and fathers marriage, and was less than pleased with her step-mother. Of course, it hadn't taken Silvia long to win Lucy over, being a veterinarian had opened a lot of doors for her apparently (especially with children.) It was at Silvia's clinic that she met her first horse and nursed a baby squirrel back to health. And as her baby brother got older, she realized he wasn't all so bad. If she trained him right, he would fetch her milk from the fridgerator and would pick up her toys. She would never admit it, but they had grown to be best friends. She never spent all of her time with him though; she was fairly popular on her block and kept a wide social circle. Her only troubles at this age were to avoid the misfits and the geeks and to find her (somehow always) missing shoes.
Adolescence:Lucy had always been a brave, spirited child. She easily adapted from one stage of life to the next (though the divorce was the arguable exception) and she would never waste a moment looking back. Her years in Frost Pine Academy were a secret to her step-mother for years until it was found out that her younger brother inhabited the same magical gene as she. She took ease with academics and excelled in her studies, as she grew older, it made her stand out, and not in the best of ways. So she began to act out to gain the attention those of a "certain" crowd had; she darkened her attire, wore tighter clothes and layers of black make-up and began to steal (even getting sent to jail many years later at seventeen.) Her father and step-mother always assumed she would grow out of it, but she never did. She graduated from Frost Pine in high honors (while catching up in the basics of her muggle studies during the summer months through unofficial homeschooling per her step-mothers request.) In Salem Witches Institute, not much had changed. She usually kept one loyal best friend with her, though it wasn't always the same girl. (There was, however, one particular poltergeist that she managed to keep as a friend throughout her five years at Salem. Dramatic fights with malicious rumors and ex-boyfriends had often gotten in the way of any best friend she would have. As Lucy reached her fourth former, she decided she had had enough of the surreal political affairs of her housemates and searched for a part-time job to busy herself with instead.
Adulthood:Lucy graduated Salem Witches Institute with eight WIT's, and only just obtained her GED. But, shortly after graduation she had moved in with an 'at-the-time' boyfriend while she sought out a job. When she did, she considered herself blessed, how else could she have acquired a job as a photographer for Spell Casters Row, a National Magazine. Of course, she was subsequently fired not more than six months later after having been caught stealing photos from her co-workers and plagiarizing them as her own. That stunt had abruptly ended her journalistic career. But, she couldn't help herself. She was lucky she was only fired; charges could have been pressed and she could have faced time in prison, or worse, be forced to volunteer her services for another forty hours like she had when she was last bailed out of jail. Then, she and her boyfriend broke up; he cheated on her, so she burned everything they owned together in a bonfire outside of their small home. Since then, it's been difficult for her to live in a seemingly small town where everyone knows everything. Recently, her aunt and in uncle in Britain have humbly offered them their home, in the hopes to watch over their son while they disappear on a cruise. She realizes the United Kingdom is a far stretch to go for just a new start, but she hopes to embark on the new life she's always wanted, with a new story, in a new world and juggle with the concept of raising a younger cousin she'd only met once, and wrestling her little brother, while she's at it. She knew she couldn't leave him, not without the guilt of how miserable he had been after since the "incident" with his ex-girlfriend. And besides, she certainly didn't want to do it all on her own.

Motto:"Be polite, be courteous, show professionalism, and have a plan to kill everyone in the room."
Morality:slightly sinful
Demeanor:easy-going and aloof, usually straight faced, smiling, or laughing, often times speaks with a cigarette in his mouth
Personality:negligent in certain areas, yet passionate in others, Leon is fickle. His mood and attitude can change on a moment's whim depending on a certain thought, word, or look. He is, to his core, a lazy waste of space. He would actively spend an entire day to avoid having to do a simple hours work. On that note, he procrastinates. He has a horrid sense of priority and will often leave the important tasks to the very last minute (like cleaning, and bills.) He doesn't like to be told what to do, and has slight aggression towards authoritative figures. He can be spiteful and petty, and do the opposite of what he was asked. But he also has a poetic soul and is in tune with his emotions, he is an advocate for rights and liberties and takes a blind eye to races and creeds. He is very tolerant, maybe not respectful, but he won't try to change or influence opinions. He has a strong moral stance against war, violence, and all things cruel. He, consciously, could never spare one life even if it meant saving hundreds. To Leon, no one should be left behind. Unfortunately, he has become something of a cynic. The world-- and the people in it-- have failed him too many times to count. He isn't very willing to believe that people are innocent as they might seem. Especially since he's one of them.
Hometown:Detroit, Michigan
Family Relations: Lucinda Marie Addario, SisterHalfblood Lucas Matteo Addario, FatherHalfblood Silvia LaGuerta, Mother,Muggle Lamar Michelangelo Addario, Uncle,Pureblood Ricinus Jillian Addario nee Uther, Aunt,Pureblood Liliana Matilda Ricci nee Addario, Aunt,Halfblood Nicholas Gianni Ricci, Uncle,Halfblood Cecilia LaGuerta, Aunt,Muggle
Birth:Leon, actually, had almost been born in Canada. A family emergency had required his parents to fly across the border to visit an uncle, and if Leon hadn't arrived several days past his due date, he would have been a Canadian. Fortunately, he was born safely in Detroit, Michigan. His mother, Silvia, is a Hispanic muggle with her own humble animal clinic for veterinary practice, and his father, Lucas, a second generation Italian wizard of half-blood is an inventor of muggle and magical objects. Born several years after his sister, Lucy; Leon had been spoiled rotten with a silver spoon in his mouth, and it only exemplified whenever Uncle Nico and Aunt Vermonia visited.
Childhood:Leon had grown into a curious child, always over stepping boundaries, exploring, and meddling when he should not. His mother's coddling hadn't soured his gentle nature, but he was prone to bouts of temper tantrums whenever a nap was skipped. He followed his sister, imitated her every sound and action until she went furious and tried to mail him away to China. He often immersed himself with the neighborhood children, trudging through trenches and fumbling through the woods and snow. His small, unnoticeable acts of magic were considered a blessing by his father (who had not yet been able to tell his wife of his magical heritage.)
Adolescence: Of course, the day arrived when Leon was invited to attend Frost Pine Academy, and his father had explain everything and come clean. His mother, albeit, skeptical and betrayed, had eventually warmed up to the idea, only so long as both children attend muggle schooling as well as their magical. So, during the summer months, Leon was unofficially homeschooled by his mother, and during the school year was a student at a magical school. He was rambunctious and loudly opinionated by the time he reached Salem Witches Institute. He would do anything and everything to avoid having to do his homework, take a test, or participate in group activities. He often faked sickness and skipped classes. It was during his pubescent years that he had fallen with a certain crowd and became insufferably moody. His clothing darkened, his music was violent, and he was rude and intolerable to anyone other than his friends. Nobody had ever known why, but Leon had been miserable with guilt. He and his friends had been at the park, skipped class, and that was when he saw his father with another woman across the street at a café. He knew his father was cheating, but he never did say a word. He would instead spend hours in his room, reading, writing, or glued to his laptop. He relaxed a bit as he entered his third former and began to date; Nicole had stolen his first kiss and then Jessica was, at the time, considered his first true love. In his fourth former, he broke up with Jessica and became involved with another girl, Brandy. To his horror, she had gotten pregnant during their last year of schooling and after an on-and-off then on-and-off again relationship together. Leon had always been, in his own way, honorable. His family values were always strong, which was why he was so upset when she refused to have the baby and settled on an abortion instead. He grew distant, quit his job at the Enchanted Arboretum in Salem, finished his last year of schooling uneventfully and graduated without many honors and then several years later earned his GED (and only after four tries.) The only reason he had earned his GED quicker than his half sister was because he spent his post graduation years at home, bored, and under the supervision and insistence of his nosy mother. Lucy had been bright enough to move in with a boyfriend and procrastinate.
Adulthood:As an adult, Leon hadn't accomplished very much. His motivation to seek employment was at an all time low and he managed to make sulking around the house eating cereal seem to be a chore. His only eventful memory was a terrible one; drunk and driving his sister's car, he wrecked it into a parked truck, got in a different car (not even sure whose or how though he suspected he used magic) and was then of course arrested several blocks further when he hit a stop sign. He was so scared to tell anyone that he sat in the jail cell for as long as he could before he found out there were plans being made to transfer him. So, he was bailed out, served on probation and only ever left the house when he had to fulfill his community service hours. But, when the announcement was made that Lucy would be moving to England to watch over their cousin, Louis, it was unanimously decided that Leon would follow. He wasn't exactly thrilled at first, but was eased into the transition with talk of "coffeeshops" in Amsterdam and the nude beaches of England and Scotland.

Weaknesses:arrogant, insensitive
Fears:peacocks
Regrets:not standing up for his 'old friend' against that bully several years ago
Secrets:keeps all of his old toys and childish memories locked in a secluded hiding place in the woods beside his house
Values:status and wealth
Motto:'Power lacks moral or principles. It only has interests.'
Morality:a saint and sinner
Demeanor:in a scoff, sneer, or smirk, he is usually condescending or demeaning, judgmental, and unenthused.
Personality:naturally well composed, patient, and independent, he is a leader and does not bode well with obeying others. A slight disregard for authorities and pointless rules, he enjoys challenging others. Intellectually inclined, he has a lack of a sensitivity and empathy for others, but not alarmingly so. He isn't blind or oblivious, rather, he often doesn't care about the consequences because he usually never has to suffer them. Strategic and resourceful, he is as bold as he is stubborn. Courage and pride are often too intermingled to be distinguished, but he does have a healthy dose of fear wired in his brain. Loyal to himself, his beliefs, and to anyone who feels the same way as he (regardless of if whether or not they may be allies or enemies.) He understands and dislikes prejudice and racism, but is still too young, naive, and self-absorbed to notice when it rears it's ugly head in day to day life. He may not have qualms against the muddling of blood and does not see it as the sin his father sees it as, nor as mudbloods as anything less than human, but he does hold himself higher and feel more empowered for his purity.
Hometown:Oxfordshire, England
Family Relations: Ricinus Jillian Addario nee Uther, Mother, Pureblood Lamar Michelangelo Addario, Father, Pureblood Lucinda Marie Addario, Cousin, Halfblood Leonardo Malak Addario, Cousin, Halfblood, Lucas Matteo Addario, Uncle, Halfblood Liliana Matilda Ricci nee Addario, Aunt, Halfblood Nicholas Gianni Ricci, Uncle, Halfblood Louie Marco Addario, Grandfather, Pureblood, Helena Rosa Addario nee Le Blanc, Grandmother, Pureblood, (First Wife) Marie Tiffany Addario nee Duros, Grandmother, Halfblood (Second Wife) Logan Bernard Uther, Grandfather. Pureblood Alexandria May Uther nee Jewels, Grandmother, Pureblood
Birth:The Addario family had always been pure of blood, until Louie Marco Addario divorced his fist wife and then remarried to a halfblood. His first born son, Lamar, was sired by Helena and maintained a pureblood status, but the youngest two, Lucas and Liliana, were both halfbloods mothered by Marie. Lamar married Ricinus Uther, a purely bred witch from an elitist family, and together they had one child, Louis. Born premature, sickly, and frail; Louis was kept at the hospital for weeks after his birth, much to his mothers chagrin. It was claimed that the boy may not survive, his immune system was weak and it was unlikely the fact would change. Every moment thereafter was considered a blessing to his mother and father. It only worsened. As a baby, he was often sick, and whisked in and out of infirmaries They coddled and spoiled him at every turn, if he wanted it, it was his, if anyone was in his way, they were fired. He was never told no.
Childhood:The irrational parenting hadn't left him entirely rotten. He learned from an early age to lie, it was better than telling the truth if he ever broke a vase. He also decided it was easier to just do what he wanted rather than ask, as was the case when he ran away from the family camp during a Quidditch World Cup game to get an autograph from one of the players. As he grew, his father began to invest more time into him, brought him along on business meetings whenever his health would allow it and instructed him in political affairs. However, his social graces and childish endeavors were severely lacking. Louie had few friends his own age, and was discouraged from traditional sports and activities. Perhaps it was over exaggerated, but his mother refused to let him engage in anything that could somehow harm him. He never played a game of football, never so much as touched a quaffle, though he did own a toy broom for a few years before it was left to collect dust in the back of his closet. Out of desperation and boredom, he tried his hand at anything he could. Golfing was boring as it was tedious (and often solicited his allergies), swimming was too much effort for nothing, chess and gobstones usually required another player and the house elves always let him win, so he grew bored of that the quickest. But, his father approached him one day with a bow and arrow, and ever since, the boy has been hooked. Once a year, he and his father go on hunting trips.
Adolescence:Upon his eleventh birthday, he received his letter. None surprised, his parents showered him in gifts and tokens of their love. Of course, with every ounce of their attention having been placed upon Louis for the past eleven years, their marriage began to suffer. On a whim, his mother decided on a cruise. Something small and simple, just to get away for the summer months. But his father had taken the idea and ran with it, instead booking a trip around the world that would last well over a year. His mother had qualms with leaving Louis, of course, but after several heated debates and a platter of milk and cookies, it was decided that his older cousins from across the pond would move in and care for him in their stead. Louis had barely ever met his cousins with the exception of their grandparents 75th anniversary. Though even then, he was much too young to really remember. He hadn't exactly decided how he feels about being separated from his mother for so long, he's never been away from her for longer than a week. But on the other hand, he is excited to do all of the things he's been told not to.
