Mahogany, 12 3/4 inches, Chimaera Scale core.Physical Description:
Alden is five feet, eleven inches tall. He weighs 145 lbs. with an athletic build. He has dark brown eyes, closely cropped hair, almost to the point of being a buzz cut.Personality:
Alden is a rather cynical person. He takes a logical, somewhat calculating view of everything and rarely lets emotions dictate anything. He isn't always a very trusting person, limiting his circle of interaction to a few people and closing himself off to the rest.Family:
When it comes to girls Alden is somewhat shy but that is attributed to both his closed off personality and the fact that he is somewhat cautious about people getting too close to him.
Alden grew up in London, England with his parents, Jarod Webster and Amelia Webster. His father is a wizard while his mother, who died shortly before his first year at Hogwart, was a muggle and Alden is the only of their three children who turned out to be a wizard.History:
Alden was born on February 11th, 2001 to Jarod and Amelia Webster. The youngest of three, his older brother, Nathaniel, and his sister, Clara, were both muggles. His father was a bit disappointed with the fact that Nathaniel and Clara hadn't inherited the magical genes but he would never reveal anything of that sort to his children as he still loved them. Instead he simply enrolled them in public schools in London and they went on about their lives, Jarod working for the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic and Amelia teaching at an elementary school.Other:
After Alden's birth and some of the occurrences that subsequently followed it was clear that Alden was a wizard. Things he took interest in might randomly propel themselves across the floor or some other similarly odd event. As he grew his father took a strong interest in helping him with his magic, somewhat to Amelia’s dismay as he sometimes seemed to neglect Alden’s siblings. Every so often his father would have people from work over or Alden and his siblings would be brought to an event with Jarod’s co-workers. These were Alden’s first experiences with some of the lingering feelings toward half-bloods and muggle-borns. Even with the war being over people still thought being pure bloods made them better.
When Alden turned eleven it was both the best and the worst time of his life. He received his acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, much to his father’s pleasure. However, it was also the year his mother died. She’d taken ill and her immune system just couldn’t handle the strain any longer. This put a massive strain on Alden’s first year. He was very reserved, made few friends and it worried his father to no end who was struggling to raise three children. During his second year he remained stoic and reserved but took particular interest in Defense Against the Dark Arts and Transfiguration as well as an interest in Quidditch though being as reserved as he was he never tried out for the team. Third year started out similarly to the first two; however, as the year progressed he began to open up a bit but, to this day, still has no real friends, only classmates he knows by name.
Alden has no distinguishing features or notable eccentricities. (On a side note I could not find a picture yet that seemed to fit. I hope that's alright.)
