Physical Description
Ciaran is taller than average with a slight build. He has pale skin and hair, his eyes are a deep brown, almost black, creating a startling contrast. He keeps his hair chin length.

Ciaran wears clothes that are comfortable, and doesn't see any need to wear anything elaborate. He typically sticks to black and grey sweaters and jeans. He is also completely color blind, which fuels his reluctance to wear very colorful things.

Personality
Ciaran is unrelentingly honest, albeit harsh. He has trouble finding a good excuse for lying, and doesn't tolerate it at all. He is well-educated, however, in holding back the truth, and knows the importance of keeping his mouth shut when it matters.

Ciaran has never been very good with other people his age, and his love for books and knowledge was either the result or the reason of this.

With a particular fondness for spoken and written language, Ciaran is a good at debating and defending his beliefs. Ciaran is very reluctant to see anything differently than how he does. His views are reinforced by the fact that he is very often right.

He isn't completely disagreeable, but can be very impatient and stubborn. He regards those that earn his respect or defy his initial expectations with surprising friendliness.

History
Ciaran and Lucian were born the 4th of June, Ciaran being almost 15 minutes older than his brother. They were homeschooled in Germany, as their mother didn't approve of the school there.

Ciaran was born with monochromacy, and can only see in shades of grey. His mother learned of this when she was teaching him his colors as a child, and noticed he was having an unusual amount of trouble. He took a potion at home that restored color, but preferred not to take it as he found colors overwhelming and disconcerting and rather disliked the taste of the potion.

Ciaran didn't travel outside his home much, as he wasn't nearly as talented at making friends as his twin. He instead stayed inside and read everything he could find. Despite their differences, Ciaran and Lucian remained very close throughout their childhood.

When he was 14 his father obtained a job at the Ministry of Magic, moving the entire family to London. Rather than attend public school in the middle of schooling, their mother taught both boys at home until taking their NEWTS.
