- INTROVERTED
- ⇢ Elliott was always a quiet child, particularly after the death of his parents. In general, people bother him; he finds most to be boring, or annoying, and doesn't care to focus any energy on either sort. For the most part, he's happiest alone, though there are a few rare exceptions, people he finds to be pleasant company as opposed to draining his energy and patience.
QUICK-TEMPERED
- ⇢ One of the only traits Elliott shares with his older brother is his temper; while he has a longer fuse than Kenneth, when he does blow up, he blows big. He's a very emotional person, and tends to try to channel most negative emotions into anger, rather than allowing himself to feel depressed or hurt. He tries to manage his temper, but it often slips anyway. He tries to stay emotionally distant from situations to prevent this, but it's not always possible for him to do so.
SHARP
- ⇢ Elliott is sharp, particularly in his wit. He's never one to hold back a snappy comeback, and tends to respond to anything that annoys him by looking down his nose and trying to prove how smart he is. He thinks quickly on his feet and is good at working through problems. What he lacks in brawn he more than makes up for with his brains, and he never fails to put them to good use. As far as he's concerned, knowledge is power, and while he isn't power-hungry per say, he knows the value of being in control.
CURIOUS
- ⇢ His love of books is born of a thirst to learn; he loves a good story, but he's also intrigued by knowledge. Practicality is always of interest, though he doesn't particularly mind learning something useless; it's important to him just because it's something he didn't already know. He absorbs new information like a sponge, and loves to find more. Whether or not he has need to or is capable of applying that knowledge is irrelevant; he just wants to know it.
MATURE
- ⇢ Aside from his inability to keep his emotions in check, Elliott is very mature for his age. He speaks maturely, and knows how to handle most any situation maturely. So long as he is not directly involved in an altercation, he can usually mediate well, and is an excellent voice of reason. When he is involved, his emotions tend to get the better of him, but after it's all said and done, he's typically quick to see his error and apologize (and even manages not to hold it against them later).
SOLEMN
- ⇢ His parents deaths have took a toll on him. He doesn't see the point in looking on the bright side, since you're often just setting yourself up for disappointment. He refers to himself as a pessimistic realist; it's not that he thinks there is no good, he just believes it to be rare. More often than not, a situation will turn out for the worse, and he'd rather be braced for that to happen than shocked and emotionally traumatized.

- CHILDHOOD
- ⇢ Elliott was born the younger half-brother of Kenneth Liam Holt, son of Joseph and Allison Holt. Joseph had been married before, to an American woman named Mary Anne, with whom he had Kenneth, and the three of them lived in a small town in Tennessee. After Mary's death when Kenneth was seven, Joseph would return to his original home in England while his son was at school to be with his family, rather than remaining alone in his and Mary's home. During one of these trips, he met his second wife, Allison. The two fell in love and were married. Elliott was born when Kenneth was eleven, and again, while Kenneth was in school, his father, stepmother and half-brother would stay in England, returning to America during the Summer months. This continued until Kenneth graduated, and Elliott saw little of his brother from then until the year their parents died. There was a brief custody battle between Kenneth and a few of the older family members, but in the end, Elliott's older brother was named his guardian. Kenneth made his move to England permanent and used some of his inheritance to purchase a shop in Hogsmeade so that he could earn an income rather than live off his family's wealth, believing doing so would be lazy. Elliott, for his part, spent most of his time at home, being looked after by the two family House-Elves.
SCHOOL YEARS
- First Year ⇢ Elliott was unsurprised to be sorted into Ravenclaw upon arriving at Hogwarts; he spent the majority of his first year with his head down and his nose in a book, either studying or reading. He did manage to make a couple of friends, much to his surprise.
Second Year ⇢ Elliott's second year was entirely uneventful; the most notable thing that occurred was his developing an interest in the study of Mind Magic, and an unfortunate encounter with a certain annoying knight portrait while he attempted to study. Following the interaction, Sir Cadogan began to rather obsessively follow him around the castle, seemingly intent on annoying him to death. The knight seemed to insist that they were 'friends', much to his horror.
Third Year ⇢ In the Summer before his third year, Elliott and his brother were out in London when they came across Jesse, a schoolmate of his, who was apparently running away from a man. Elliott and Kenneth interceded, and effectively kidnapped the boy away from the guy, Paul. Jesse spent the remainder of the Summer with them. His third year at school was mostly uneventful, aside from his befriending one of his housemates, Timothy Cherri, and being accosted by a girl in his year, Persephone Tempest. She came to him and told him that she was concerned for Jesse, who was apparently gay, and afraid that something bad would happen to him if Paul found out. Elliott shared her concern after she told him about what the other boy had said, and not-so-subtly manipulated his friend into staying with him again the following Summer.
Fourth Year ⇢ Elliott's fourth year was rather eventful, at least by his reasoning. Though, all that really happened was his asking Jesse out on a date. A date that, despite all odds, somehow apparently went rather well, and the pair became an official couple. Other than that, there wasn't much to really report, but he's still baffled enough by this turn of events that it warrants mentioning.
Fifth Year ⇢ On the way to the train station at the start of Summer, Hogsmeade was attacked by a group of wannabe Death Eaters. Elliott was mainly concerned with finding Jesse and getting him somewhere safe, but as they were trying to make it through the crowd, a younger student in Jesse's house tripped the Slytherin into a Cruciatus Curse. Elliott's temper got the better of him, and he proceeded to incapacitate the figure who'd cast the curse... and set him on fire... and then stunned the boy who'd tripped Jesse to begin with. The pair made it out mostly unscathed, though Elliott was understandably distressed at the fact that his boyfriend had been tortured to the point of passing out. The following school year was essentially a blur of studying for OWLs and the pair rewarding themselves for their diligence with regular snogging sessions in various broom closets.
Sixth Year ⇢ Over the Summer before sixth year, Elliott (unwillingly) attended a party with Jesse, Jesse's friend Jojo, and Jojo's boyfriend Kenny. They were supposed to be acting as chaperon's of a sort to Jojo, who suffered from severe anxiety, and to keep an eye on one another, since Jesse seemed paranoid about what might occur at the party. Upon arriving, Jojo decided the best course of action was to get plastered, and, in an attempt to get her to curtail her drinking, Elliott vowed to drink just as much as she did, thinking it would get her to slow down. Instead, she took it as a challenge, and he discovered he was far outmatched in terms of alcohol tolerance. By the end of the night, he was a clingy, affectionate mess of a drunk, which resulted in his confessing to Jesse that he loved him. Elliott was exceptionally displeased with himself when he received his OWL scores and discovered that he had only managed an EE in Healing. That the rest of his scores were perfect O's was of little consequence, he couldn't stop obsessing with that one error. He determined that, given the difficulty of NEWT exams, his best course of action would be to drop a few courses, so he could focus more attention on each lesson. When he began his sixth year, he also was finally able to attend the Mind Magic courses offered by the school, and found them to be rather easy. He chalked this up to having a strong understanding of the magic before he even began the class, figuring he'd already done most of the groundwork and was only really in the class for practice. That year, he and Jesse attended the Valentine's Day ball together, which began as something of an annoyance and ended up worse than he'd even considered, which was saying something. Elliott reacted negatively to Jesse teasing him over the Summer's drunken confession, and managed to scare Jesse by getting angry at him. Eventually, Elliott finally managed to get his boyfriend to tell him some of what had happened to him as a child that resulted in his issues, though not as much as Elliott would have liked.
