- EXPLORATORY
xxx»» Sebastian likes to go on 'adventures'. While he knows that sneaking about places looking for hidden doors or getting into places he probably shouldn't aren't really adventures so much as they are getting up to no good, he finds it too fun to ever stop. He's gotten in more than a few tight spots with this desire to map out everything around him, the consequences of trying to find answers for his questions not really registering until it's far too late.
AWKWARD
xxx»» So far, Bas isn't all that thrilled about being a teenager. In fact, he'd rather like for the whole thing to be over. Yesterday, preferably. He's not really afraid of the changes he's undergoing, but they're pretty damn annoying. He's never really understood girls, but he swears that the second he hit age thirteen they somehow managed to get a thousand times more confusing. He's hyper-aware of the way his voice cracks when he speaks, and prays regularly for the growth spurt he's hoping for to happen soon. He feels like the entire universe is out to get him, and can't wait for it to find newer, shinier teenagers to screw around with once he gets older.
ACTIVE
xxx»» Sitting still is not one of Sebastian's strong suits. In fact, he's rather terrible at it. If he can get through a day without exploding from the sheer force it takes to stay in his seat during lessons, he feels like he's earned something. When he's free, he prefers to keep his body moving. He's not one to shy away from reading or watching the telly, but when he does so, his hands are always active, on a project of some kind. Going to the cinema is an exercise in torture since he's expected to just sit and watch the film. He's not even still when he sleeps, tossing and turning all night, like a dog that's dreaming about chasing a stick.
STUBBORN
xxx»» Sebastian know what he likes, he know what he wants, he knows what makes him happy, and he is reluctant to engage in anything that is not one of those things. While not as bad as he was as a child, he still has trouble getting involved or paying attention to things that he doesn't find fun or interesting. He is also very set in his preferences, and if something doesn't catch his attention immediately, it can be hard to talk him into giving it a try. While he can admit when he's wrong, he often does so with a lot of exasperation.
PROTECTIVE
xxx»» With the troubles his family has had in the past, Sebastian has developed a very strong protective streak. He's very loyal to the people he cares about, and would do absolutely anything for them. He doesn't take well to anything that threatens to hurt his friends and family, and can't stand the thought of having them taken away from him.
ASSERTIVE
xxx»» Sebastian isn't necessarily a leader, but he knows when to take charge and say or do what needs to be said or done. He doesn't hesitate to action, ever, not even in the face of fears or insecurities. He is vocal with his displeasure, passionate, and steadfast in his beliefs. While he prefers for things to be simple and fun, he knows they can't always be that way, and doesn't shy away from negative experiences when he knows he has no choice. He won't avoid an uncomfortable situation if he knows it will only make it worse to do so, no matter how much he wants to.

- CHILDHOOD
xxx»» Sebastian is the second biological child of the Blythe family, born over Winter Break of his sister's second year at Hogwarts. When he was first born, his family was fairly small, but since then it had gotten substantially bigger. He remembers that he woke up one morning and suddenly there were four more people at the breakfast table, a woman who looked like mommy, two girls close to his sister's age, and a baby. He got very close to them all and became very attached. Then, one night, Victoria and Melody went for a walk and never came back. Now he's very concerned with his family disappearing. He worries about them constantly and is incredibly clingy. He had a lot of difficulty with his sisters being away at school in the following years, but grew to accept it, provided they wrote him often (even though he couldn't read the letters). He was overjoyed with Adalaide and Michelle graduated from school because it meant, to him, that they would be home all the time. Unfortunately, Michelle did not remain home for very long, leaving for a long time. His father told him that she was fine, but Sebastian worried. Not long after that, Adalaide moved out of the family's home, which agitated the child, but she was living with her boyfriend Chris, who Sebastian is quite fond of, and visited often, so he accepted it, albeit stubbornly. Not long after, Michelle returned home, and the next day his parents went out and returned with his sister Melody in tow, which thrilled him to no end. Several months later, he was told that Adalaide was going to have a baby, and that he would be an uncle, which confused him greatly since he was only six and children were not uncles. He was even more surprised when his sister actually had two babies.
xxx»» Over the next few years, he was happy to have his youngest sister home, though the fact that Michelle vanished as quickly as she'd returned became something of a sore spot with the boy, to the point where he generally pretends that she doesn't exist. Through his sister's marriage and friend circle, he managed to befriend two other children his own age, Balder Borson and Caty Blake, who he became very close friends with. The three became practically inseparable until Caty, being older than the boys, went away to school the year before them. Meanwhile, Bastian was enlisted to help convince Balder's parents to allow him to attend Hogwarts rather than Durmstrang, their own alma mater, a task he took to an extreme due to having severe separation anxiety.
SCHOOL YEARS
- FIRST YEAR »» Sebastian's first year wasn't quite what he expected it to be. What he'd been expecting was that, reunited once again, he and Caty and Balder would spend every waking moment of free time exploring the castle from top to bottom and learning all of it's secrets. But, Caty had new friends, who she spent far more time with than she did with the two boys, at least in Sebastian's mind. But, he compensated by making new friends, and tried not to let himself focus on the feeling that he'd been abandoned, and focusing on Quidditch. He'd tried out for the house team, and gotten a reserve spot as a chaser, which he was pretty proud of since he was only a first year.

SECOND YEAR »» Second year was decent enough, if uneventful. He did join dueling club alongside Balder and Caty, which was fun. He also tried out for the Quidditch team, and was made a reserve chaser again. He would've liked to make the main team, but he knew it would have to wait until he was more experienced. Unfortunately, there was a little drama at tryouts, because Aleah had shown up to try out. Sebastian had helped her figure out a broom and harness over the holiday, figuring that if she said she could play, she could play, but he found himself regretting the decision when she got hurt in tryouts. Maybe it shouldn't have bothered him so much, since lots of people get hurt playing Quidditch, but given her condition, he found himself worrying about her well-being. She wasn't pleased when she didn't make the team, and Bas felt awkward about the whole thing. He tried to avoid the subject with her from then on.

THIRD YEAR »» Unfortunately, third year's notable event was much the same as the previous year's. Except, Joel didn't even let Aleah tryout, he told her flat out when she showed up at the pitch that she couldn't be on the team. She got pretty angry over it, and told the captain off before storming off of the pitch. That also happened to be the first year Sebastian made first string, which only doubled how torn and awkward he felt about Quidditch and Aleah. Again, he mostly avoided the subject. Other than that, nothing of note really happened.

FOURTH YEAR »» Sebastian's fourth year was odd, to say the least. Balder was concerned about something weird going on with a cousin he hadn't known he had until the previous year, and was distracted by it the whole year. Sebastian meanwhile was trying to focus himself mostly on Quidditch, because he wasn't particularly pleased with his performance on the pitch. Given that he'd decided he enjoyed the sport enough to want to go pro, he had to step up his game. The worries over the matter resulted in him pouring over a book his sister had bought him in the Common Room. Which wouldn't have been a big deal, except Aleah happened to approach while he was reading and question him about it. He was expecting her to get upset with him, but instead she told him that she'd gotten over the Quidditch drama ages ago, and simply 'forgot to tell him.' He was a little skeptical, but took her word for it. If it meant he didn't have to watch his words around her anymore, he was fine with that.
FIFTH YEAR »» This year's drama started on the train ride home. Upon arriving at King's Cross, Sebastian found Balder looking out of sorts, and his best friend told him he'd confronted Glynn about the boy's issues, only to discover that his Uncle Roald was apparently not only abusive, but a murderer. The two concocted a plot to save Glynn from the man, but as would be expected, things didn't go as planned. Instead, they ended up starting off a chain of events that would lead to several deaths, including Balder's father. In the end, the only positive thing to come of it was that Roald ended up dead, and Glynn ended up living with family that wasn't going to torture him or try and instill prejudiced propaganda in his head. Meanwhile, Sebastian spent the rest of the Summer grounded, and the majority of his first semester back at school was an ongoing existential crisis. A few pep talks from the least likely of places (and he will never admit to Eve that she was helpful) helped, but what helped the most was the distractions. One, he had exams to study for, and as much as he felt like maybe he deserved to ruin his own life, he knew he'd be doing a disservice to others if he made it so he had to mooch off of them forever. Two... Right before the winter break, he was walking around with Aleah and she ended up under some mistletoe. At first he was freaking out, because having to kiss the friend he had a crush on that in no way returned his feelings was a pretty awkward situation to be in. But, it turned out that he was wrong about her not returning his feelings, and she snogged him, which made things worse for half a second when he totally froze up. Somehow, he managed to recover, and they talked it out and ended up officially a couple. The rest of the school year was devoted to studying and Quidditch, with breaks in between to spend time with her.
SIXTH YEAR »» This summer was much better than the last, though there was a fair bit of lingering guilt still hanging over Sebastian's head. Still, he and Aleah enjoyed an outing to the beach with their best friends, and their best friend's significant others. He finally got to meet Caty's boyfriend Finn, who he decided he liked, though he was still ready to make the guy suffer if he hurt Caty in any way. Of course, he didn't really see that happening. The rest of the Summer was fairly normal, as was the school year that followed, aside from the upset with the Quidditch team. Bas didn't know why Kim had lost her spot on the team, nor did he care. He was more annoyed about the fact that Brandon was leaving Eve in charge. Not that he didn't think she should be captain, he just wasn't looking forward to her being his captain. He got a small taste of what it would be like, and it was just as annoying as he'd feared. Still, they played a damn good season, so he couldn't complain too much.
SEVENTH YEAR »» Sebastian's final year at school was spent splitting his focus between his studies, and Quidditch practice. His impatient side wanted to skip the studying, but he had enough sense to know that he couldn't play Quidditch forever, and needed a backup plan if he didn't manage to make a professional team. His worries on the latter ended up being pointless, since he was scouted for Wales by an old classmate of Ada's. Part of him wondered if that had anything to do with it, but she had never been close to Cam so he decided that likely wasn't the case. Especially not since his performance on the pitch had been fairly impressive, if he were going to brag about it. He did well enough on his NEWTs as well, and reasoned that once his sports career was over, he'd have plenty of options on where to go next.
