Biography: Dylan was born in Sligo Ireland to a newlywed couple. His mother was a Squib and his father was a wizard. He grew up in a completely non-magical environment, as his mother was afraid of magic. His father, while a talent wizard, chose to give up a magical lifestyle so he could be with his mother. This caused some tension in the family, leading to Dylan spending a lot of time in his room, and in the abbey where his mother worked.

As Dylan spent all this time alone, he retreated to reading. He loved entering other worlds, and loved emerging into the lives of characters. His favourite genres are fantasy and teen fiction. He also loved learning new information, especally biology and history. His favourite time period was Ireland under the Tudors, the main subject of the abbey’s extensive collection.

When he was ten, he made a best friend. He was hosting a sleep over in the abbey, without permisssion. And Dylan and this boy named Cody wanted to look at the stars from the abbey. It was the only thing that would make the sleepover tolerable, because the floor was so uncomfortable. And suddenly, a small section of the ceiling collapsed, probably because Dylan wanted the sleepover to work so badly. So they stared at the stars, bearing their souls. So they became fast friends. Cody is one of the main things he would miss.

About one year before his letter came, Dylan began to have strange encounters. Every time his parents argued, something would break. His father was thrilled that he was a wizard, and began going enthusiastically to buy him materials, while his mother withdrew dramatically.

Dylan is excited for this next stage of his journey.

Personality: Dylan is bookiish boy, and often went to reading to avoid his problems. Dylan loves to learn, and focuses on all forms of information, but especially biology and history. Dylan know a lot and he knows it, but is wiling to impart all his knowledge to others. He is not confident about his magical abilities.

Dylan loves puzzles and riddles, especally when he can work with others. Especally because he has trouble socially in unscripted environments.

Dylan has a better connection with animals, particularly cats. He was particularly connected with the cat at the abbey that he would often spend time with.

He is averse to conflict and will thus let himself be walked over.

Appearance: Dylan has shrinking blue eyes, like the ocean. Dylan is very average in his height, which means that he is somewhat confident, and does not get picked on. Dylan has brown messy hair, with blonde streaks from the sun. Dylan spends a lot of time indoors so he is very pale, but had no freckles. His limbs are clumsy but lanky. Dylan’s posture is poor, both from reading and a lack of confidence. His right foot is bigger than his left foot.
