SNEAKY
xxx»» Eddie is very good at going about unseen. He is capable of being very quiet, and additionally good at blending into the background. He's a hard person to notice when he wants to be, either because he's managed to slip into a crowd and get lost in it, or because he's fit his tiny body into an area one didn't realize a body could fit. He is also an exceptionally good liar, and great at coming up with excuses for why he was in a place he shouldn't have been, or playing oblivious when about to be scolded. It never worked on his family, of course, who taught him the tricks in the first place. But on the average Joe, it works just fine, most of the time.

EXCITABLE
xxx»» Eddie is easily excited by things like new experiences or a competition. He likes to do things, plain and simple, and will go into any and all events with full enthusiasm. He can, at times, get a little overly invested in something, and lose his head a little bit. He finds most things interesting from one angle or another, even things that some people find terribly boring. While not outwardly obvious, he genuinely enjoys life and most of the things in it. He doesn't care much for doing the same thing all the time, because there's a whole wide world out there to explore, and he wants to see every part of it.

SELFISH
xxx»» Being raised by thieves doesn't exactly spark a lot of generosity in a person. Eddie was taught from a very young age that the world doesn't just give you anything, you have to take it. Additionally, the sheer number of children he was constantly forced to split things between and who he caught stealing his things made him a very selfish person; he doesn't like to share, he doesn't like to give. He'll steal something before he even thinks about buying it, even if he has the money, just because if he steals it he'll have the thing and the money, and that's better. If he can help someone, he generally has to be talked into it, and the argument better involve an explanation of how it'll benefit him personally, or it's not going to work.

DETERMINED
xxx»» Eddie has perfected the art of tunnel vision when it comes to his goals; once he sets his sights on something, it's hard to get him to look away from it. He's exceptionally stubborn, and willing to do anything it takes to get what he wants. If he can win or earn something fair and square, he's willing to put the work in just for the challenge. But, if there's even the slightest bit of doubt, he'll lie cheat steal do whatever it takes to accomplish a goal or obtain an item. If nothing else, taking the unfair route is a challenge in and of itself; he's never really liked it when people said cheating was taking the easy way out. Cheating, he thinks, is extremely difficult.

CHALLENGING
xxx»» Eddie is, as one might expect, a problem child. He never did well in school, equally because his family moved locations, and thus schools, too frequently for him to really settle into a curriculum, and because he's mistrustful of authority figures. His parents have raised him, for better or worse, to be an extremely rebellious, defiant person. It can be hard to get through to him, especially for teachers, if he's decided he doesn't care about something or dislikes how it's being taught or done. He'll deliberately cause problems in class, starting arguments or making mischief, just to waste the teacher's time. He also resorts to all manner of tricks to get other people in trouble instead of him.

WARY
xxx»» Unsurprisingly, Eddie doesn't trust many people. Even his own siblings wouldn't have hesitated to stab him in the metaphorical back if they thought it benefited them, and he's got no real illusions about how much his parents would've looked out for him once he became an adult. He's extremely hesitant to take anything at face value, and often (incorrectly) reads ulterior motives in the actions and words of everyone around him. A born liar, he's always assumed that everyone is lying, all the time, about everything. No one and nothing has ever been around long enough to prove otherwise.

CHILDHOOD
xxx»» From the very beginning, Eddie's life could mostly be described as, "uncertain." For one, he's not sure who his parents are, or his siblings. He knows he has them, and that he's being raised by and alongside them, but he has no clue who they are, due to a somewhat... unconventional family structure. There were, on average, about six adults and twelve children in his immediate vicinity at all times (though the total adults was eight, and he's not sure actually how many kids there are). They all shared a surname, which Eddie is fairly sure is not the original legal surname of any of the adults. For a while, he wasn't even sure it was his original surname, matter of fact. The adults were all equally "parents" to the children, and with a couple exceptions due to obvious genetic traits, there was no telling which kids were actually whose. Rather, they orbited and shuffled around one another his whole life, with no real rhyme or reason.

»» Or, well. There is a reason. The reason is, in fact, that the adults (and the older children, who were really teens by now) were all criminals. Con artists, more specifically, though they'd dabbled in other crimes. The adults shuffled the kids around as needed, bringing along those young or old enough to help with a con if the presence of a child or baby would help. The ones who were old enough to say things but too young to know what not to say were left with a pair or so of guardians at whatever home the family occupied at the moment. The "working parents," as they called them, would be gone anywhere from a couple of weeks to months on end, assuming they didn't get busted. It had, on occasion, happened that the con went south, and the adults in question got arrested. Luckily, it never happened (at least, as far as Eddie knows) on a job involving any of the kids.

»» When he was around age six, Eddie was left alone with four of his "parents" while the others were on a job. No kids were taken, and the house they'd been staying in at the time was on the small side due to a "drier season," as one mother had put it. As such, it was easy to feel crowded. Eddie was absolutely desperate to get away from his siblings. At one point, he tricked the kids he shared a room with into going downstairs, claiming their parents needed them for something. Upon their leaving, he closed and locked the door, then refused to open it when they returned. The parents attempted to unlock it with a key, but the key suddenly became quite hot, causing mild burns to the father who held it. They then attempted to break through the door, but it quite literally bounced them back. Nothing could seemingly get the door open, until at suppertime that night, when it seemingly miraculously opened all on its own.

»» From that point on, odd things occurred around Eddie somewhat frequently. Nothing too ostentatious, most easily explainable with a little stretching of physics and willful ignoring of certain details. The parents were even happy to bring him along on jobs, since those strange happenings always seemed to be in Eddie's, and therefore their own, favor. But, when Eddie's eleventh birthday heralded the arrival of a rather posh older man and claims of magic, the two parents who'd introduced themselves thought it explained an awful lot. The rest of the family had hidden away, a common practice among the group to appear on the outside as a normal family when visitors came by, and missed the specifics. But, once they were filled in, they weren't about to argue with a magical kid. After all, think of the crimes he could commit. So, they all agreed they were more than happy to send Eddie off to Hogwarts, to learn how to become a proper wizard.

»» Unfortunately, shortly after this visit, the authorities somehow managed to find and arrest Eddie's "parents," as well as the couple of older kids passed the age of majority. The children, for the most part, were sent into foster care. All except Eddie, who'd been shipped off to an orphanage, of all things, in London. The owners, he was told, along with most of the children, were all magical as well. He was told that, if the parents who appeared on his birth certificate were to be found innocent, or released from prison prior to his turning 17, he would be returned to their care. But, in the meantime, Wool's would be his home on holidays, and Hogwarts during the school year. Eddie simply nodded along, putting on just enough of a sad face to convince everyone that he understood but wouldn't be any trouble. He was, after all, a con artist.
