Biography: Kieran wanted to be nothing like their mother when he grew up. He knew his brother thought highly of her, and had hopes to follow in her footsteps, but he thought that his twin had the wrong idea about what she actually did at work. Reading their Mother's journal one of the times she was gone had only solidified Kieran's resolve to get her a copy of Moby Dick. Where his twin saw a thrilling adventure, he saw a nearly thirty-year whale chase. Of course she didn't seem to want help. This was her white whale, and she would do anything to keep it as far away from the bulk of her family as possible.
At least, that's what he thought.
He wasn't like their father, though, in that the whole germaphobic thing just wasn't his scene. He found it rather a little silly, and figured his twin must have gotten that gene. However, his methodical nature lended itself to potions quite nicely, and he often found himself volunteering to help, and acting as though it was to let his Twin escape whatever test or potion their father had in store, rather than truly enjoying it. He found that he preferred the applicable magic of potions over theoretical magics like divination. It was predictable and easier to understand. When their father wasn't lost in his projects and experiments, though, he was practically smothering them with layers of clothing and protective potions.
Their parents made sense to him, not exactly seeing much difference between the two houses himself. The only real thing was that Slytherins seemed to be more action oriented than thought oriented. Now, his parents were switched, but there was a part of him that thought it must not have been that way when they were in school. Their mother had been influenced by people in her life to make her the way she was now, and he suspected that their half-sister's father might have had a lot more to do with that than their mother was willing to admit. Though, he didn't know that for sure.
Either way, it seemed his twin was determined that they be in the same house, for as much as they could affect that. Kieran was on board, of course. Someone would have to be there to pull Fin back down to earth every once in a while. Kieran couldn't really see how his twin would survive Hogwarts if they were apart, so it was best to play along and try to get in the same house if at all possible. The good thing was, Fin would go first, and that would let Kieran know what he would need to do to ensure they were together.
→ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.Note: This section is optional, and is up to you to complete.House Request: Slytherin or Ravenclaw (though I'm really not fussed)
Personality:Kieran is cynical, cold, calculating, and methodical when left on his own. However, seeing that his twin tends to run into things, and needs someone more grounded, he tends to go along with whatever his brother is getting into. Even going so far as to actively try to be placed in the same house as his twin, despite them being opposites, like yin and yang. Kieran generally has a darker nature, and feels that his mother chose his name well.
Appearance: Kieran has naturally light brown hair and brown eyes, with soft features, matching his twin. However, much unlike his twin, he relishes the bad boy persona he could have, as it appeals more to his nature. As soon as he's able, he will likely change his hair color and general look to bit abetter with how he actually wants to be seen.

Option I:
Kieran exited the potions classroom with quiet steps. He probably wasn't supposed to be out of his dorm this late, but he had wanted to talk to the Professor before the day was through, and just after dinner had been the only time he'd had.
He valued the more practical magics above all. Things with a defined outcome, no matter how difficult to complete, made more sense to him than vagaries of magics that may or may not work at any given time. Spending all that time with their father, helping him make potions, might have had something to do with that.
He was still convinced that his mother desperately needed to read Moby Dick, but what was he to do.
It was as this thought crossed his mind again act he noticed a glint of scarlet fabric from the shadows. Drat! No doubt he'd been caught by some Gryffindor prefect wanting to make a point by roasting some Slytherins over the coals. It wasn't until after he crept closer, that he was able to discern that the scarlet-clad student was more likely in his own year and had been looking for...
"Excuse me. Are you lost?" Had she seriously been looking for the ghost of Emma Birch? He'd heard about that student, and searching for her ghost had to be the most foolhardy thing he had ever heard of anyone doing. With his family....that was saying something.
