x→xPERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxTRAITS:
↳ Patient:
Daniel knows that while patience might be bitter, its fruit is sweet. He'd always had more patience than his sister as he knew from experience that sometimes, things happen and there's nothing you can do but wait it through rather than complain about it.
↳ Hard-Working:
No matter how patient he was, Daniel knew that just sitting around and waiting wouldn't get him what he wanted, he had to work for it, especially since things don't come to him easily. This was especially true during school when he had little friends and had to work to get good grades.
↳ Reticent:
Because he frequently and easily got sick because of his weak immune system, Daniel was always told to be careful by his family, to watch where he was going, what he was eating, etc, and as such, he grew to be really cautious who always thought first before doing anything, not only in his actions but with his thoughts as well. He'd rather stay silent and not say anything lest he gets in trouble and cause a scene, unless someone says or does something he very strongly disagrees with.
↳ Submissive:
Growing up with a headstrong older sister, Daniel was more in the background, and he usually followed her lead in most cases. As such, he's more of a follower and is willing to go along with what his friends and family say and dislikes too much attention.
↳ Realistic:
Daniel isn't a pessimist, or optimist, but a realist. He knows things don't always go the way you want to and while he considers hope to be important (there was always a chance that things would work out for the best) but he also believes in being prepared for disappointment and knowing the consequences of one's actions.
↳ Selfless:
Daniel likes to be helpful and hates feeling like he's a burden. He knows that he might not contribute much as he doesn't consider himself smart, or interesting, among other things so he likes feeling like he's contributing to a relationship whether its friendship or with an acquaintance. He's willing to go out of his way to helpful, sometimes to his detriment, and is naturally kind. He always treats people well, even when they don't return the favour and he doesn't usually hold grudges. He considers it easier to be nice and kind to people.
STRENGTHS:
↳ Is cautious and thinks before he acts

↳ Can be too considerate (to his detriment)
↳ Can sometimes be wilfully blind to faults in his friends/family

x→xHISTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxCHILDHOOD:
Daniel was born during the summer to Eli and Moira Jacobs. Moira gave birth to him at St Mungo's rather than having a home birth like she did with his older sister Lucinda by the advice of Eli's sister Meredith, a healer whose worries turned out to be justified. Daniel's birth was a difficult one and Moira had to quit her job to recover and take care of both him and Lucy at home while Eli worked to support them.
Lucy and Daniel grew up together in the Jacobs Manor, Eli's childhood home, with their paternal grandparents and mother taking care of them while Eli worked but they spent plenty of time together after he came home and during weekends. They were both homeschooled by their mother and grandfather in the magical world but they attended the local muggle school. However, Daniel had a very weak immune system and would get sick and miss class often, causing him to work really hard to maintain good grades. Unfortunately, this, couple with his small stature, caused him to be teased and bullied often act school while teachers usually turned a blind eye to, to his sister Lucy's great ire. She frequently got in trouble for starting fights defending him, which only made Daniel more uncomfortable as he didn't want to be the reason she got in trouble and he already suffered from enough attention.
Because of his weak disposition, Daniel was always watched over by his family and was told to be careful with what he was doing, what he was eating, etc. This, coupled with Lucy's dislike of dirt meant that they didn't go out much or do any strenuous activity, but that didn't mean never. They were inseparable and took walks with their grandfather and swum in the pond during the summer (mostly Lucy); Daniel particularly enjoyed tending to the garden with his grandfather. Inside, they played together, listened to their grandparents tell them cool stories from their auror days, and even learned to knit. Occasionally, they were visited by their relatives, whose company Daniel always enjoyed.
However, not everything was well; Daniel still got sick frequently, and when he was 8, he suffered from a severe case of Dragon Pox and nearly died, leaving him with a few scars and a more protective family, almost too protective. When Lucy left for Hogwarts, not only did he miss her greatly but most of his family's attention was concentrated on him now, which he found a little smothering; and to top it off, the bullies at school grew bolder without Lucy to protect him. He tried not to show how miserable he was, not wanting to worry her, but Daniel longed for the day he'd go to Hogwarts as well.
SCHOOL YEARS:
The summer before Daniel's first year at Hogwarts, his parents became even more overprotective than usual and barely let them out of the house, which annoyed Lucy, but Daniel didn't say much; he was only glad that he'd get to go to Hogwarts soon. To his surprise, he'd managed to make friends with Vince, Gertie, Charlie and Donella at Hogwarts, and while he had some trouble with classes, especially Transfiguration, Vince helped him with it, which helped him a lot. Lucy even visited him often at his common room, which was nice. Overall, Daniel considered his first year to be a success.
During Daniel's second year at Hogwarts, he and Vince made a new friend in Ji-Yeong. He looked forward to choosing his electives for the next year more than anything. And in his third year, Hogwarts held a Halloween event that was incredibly fun, even though he, Vince and Ji got lost in the maze. He enjoyed his electives and tried to focus on them, but after hearing about his uncle's death near the end of the year, it was hard.
Compared to last year, Daniel's fourth year was quite uneventful. He did start studying for his OWLs that were coming up next year, but he wasn't loking forward to them. The OWLs took up most of Daniel's time during his fifth year and between all the studying, Daniel found the year to be quite hectic, but thankfully it passed by without a fuss, as did his sixth year. He couldn't believe how quickly time passed but his NEWTs crept up almost before he noticed, then came his graduation then his sister getting ready to move out. Daniel wasn't sure he was ready for these changes so quickly, and certainly not for being a functional and legal adult, but it wasn't like he had a choice.
ADULTHOOD:
To his immense relief, Daniel's grades were good enough and he started working as an apprentice healer at St. Mungo's like his aunt. The work kept him really busy and it was only by chance that he met Sebastian Blythe after an embarrassing incident involving his wand and Bas' dog. Daniel wouldn't say he was smitten, but he was definitely attracted to Bas, and after running into him again later, they went on a date. Which led to several more dates but they didn't become 'official' until months later with the prodding and help of many of their friends and acquaintances. While the number of people involved mortified Daniel a bit, he definitely couldn't say he's not happy with the way things turned out. They ended up being engaged, surprising no one except with how long it took them, but their wedding followed soon after and Daniel could not think of a better way that things could've turned out.
