VAILE, killian abraxas

PERSONALITY

Boggart: Being forced to marry and have children before he is ready (this is what his parents are pushing him to do, desperately, since he's the only one who can carry on their family name and genes). The boggart would probably take the form of little kids who would swing off his arms, crying and demanding things.
Mirror of Erised: To be his own person, outside of the hopes and goals his parents have in mind for him. To have a career as successful as that of his mother and father. He wants more than anything to be a Professional Quidditch player, and would see himself as Keeper for Puddlemere United.
Patronus: Eagle - Killian's happiest memory is the day he got the position as Keeper on the Ravenclaw Quidditch team. He was in his fourth year, and it was something he had been wanting for years, so when he actually succeeded, he felt like he was walking on air for months afterwards. He still feels lucky to be on the team, to this day.

Killian is charismatic and fun, he can be a bit of a charmer (especially with girls), and is comfortable in most situations, being perfectly able to strike up conversations with total strangers. He's the type of person that could make a new best friend standing in line at the post office. He's confident, and it shows. He has a strange ability to make people think he knows what he's doing all of the time. He has no clue why people view him in that light, because more often than not, he's just winging it, but his friends have told him more than once that they feel more confident when he's around, which I suppose makes him an accidental leader, though he doesn't set out to be that.

He's intelligent, and a fast learner, picking things up quickly and absorbing information like a sponge. He does enjoy learning, but his love of knowledge mostly comes from being a bit nosy. He loves a good bit of gossip. He likes to be able to talk to people about any topic that crops up in conversation. He likes to be a jack of all trades, because it makes it easier for him to make friends, and he's a very sociable creature. He likes to be around friends, and make new ones, and is the life and soul of any party. It wouldn't be unusual to find him busting some moves in the middle of a dance floor without a care in the world, or skinny dipping in the lake. He loves fun, and being able to let loose and be silly. Girls tend to like the fun side of him, and though he's a charmer and knows the right things to say, he doesn't ever take advantage, he's a gentleman when it comes to winning girls over, and he's only ever genuine with compliments or pursuing his latest fancy. He's not looking for commitment, though, and although he has and will have girlfriends, he's always reluctant to get too attached, and likes to keep things fun and relaxed, since he doesn't want to be tied down so young.

Though not a commitment-phobe, he frets a decent amount about his parents putting pressure on him to continue the family name, as the only heir, and it shows in his relationships with girls. He's happy to date and have short-term relationships, but unless he found someone absolutely perfect in his very fussy eyes, then he wouldn't consider anything long-term. He can be very shallow and vain at times, okay, quite a bit, and likes to look good and have the best things if possible. It's pretty much always possible, because his parents are rich, but they make him earn any money that they put into his account, by keeping his grades up. He's not a spoiled rich brat, he was raised to know the value of hard work, and have a respect for money, but that doesn't mean he can't spoil his friends every now and then by splashing a bit of cash on little gifts for them.

He loves to see his friends happy, and considers those closest to him to be an extension of his family. He has a fiery temper, and will fight to defend his family and friends (verbally, he's not great in a physical fight aside from dueling, though he'd have a good go!). He's very open and tries to be honest as much as possible, but he can sometimes offend people with his opinions, since he sees no reason to pull punches when it comes to talking to strangers, so he may put people off on first impressions if the conversation topic is something he has an opinion on. All in all, Killian has a good heart, a great sense of fun, and is reliable, trustworthy and loyal in general. He will help people with school work if they need it, and is always happy to have company or someone to chat to (or learn school gossip from).

Killian was born on a hot summer's day into a family of wealthy purebloods, and had everything he ever wanted from a young age. His mother quit her job in France when she was pregnant with him and gave it all up to settle back in England on the family estate they had occupied before. It was a miracle that Killian even existed, as his parents had been told that they were medically unable to conceive a child, to their utter horror. This being the case, Killian was treated like a Prince, never wanting for anything, they went to every length to ensure his happiness and doted on him to the extreme.

Abraxas and Corona Vaile weren't stupid, however, they raised their son to respect the money they spent on him. They were sure to instil a strong set of values in him and taught him that he would have to earn his way in the world, fearing that he would become a rich brat and waste his life. Killian has always been grateful for this, as he sometimes finds it easy to get swept up in things, and often wonders what he would have turned out like if his parents weren't such strong, good people.

His mother's family are a perfect example of what he could have been, and though he only saw his Uncle Aurelius and cousins Finley and Annabelle a handful of times during his childhood, he understood straight away that they were different to him. Pureblooded, yes, but where Killian's parents had taught him to be accepting of others no matter their heritage, his cousins had been taught that only those like them were good enough. Killian fell into that category, but there was a rift between his mother and her siblings, they didn't like the path she had chosen, and the views she had taken on in her adult life. It reached a point where they stopped seeing any family at all, and Abraxas had no family of his own for his son to mix with other than a brother, Atticus, so Killian was forced into quite a lonely childhood, though he formed a strong bond with his Uncle Atticus, who was young and fun and adored his nephew.

He made friends with a few children his mother tutored from home, though he looked forward to the day he would go to Hogwarts and be surrounded by other kids, knowing in his heart that he was designed for friendship. He busied himself with books and learning everything he could that would help him excel at school once the time came, and his acceptance letter couldn't have come quick enough to the bright boy.

Hogwarts was the greatest adventure in Killian's eyes, and he couldn't wait to get there, his first day being so overwhelmingly exciting to him that he actually threw up. He was so eager and quick to learn that lessons were particularly enjoyable for him, and he was determined to do well and please his parents and professors. He still does to this day, though the excitement has maybe worn off a little. His cousins are all graduated now, the family rift having driven a huge wedge between Killian and the people who were meant to be his first friends, and he doesn't speak with the Avery kids at all. The Averys and their peers call him a blood traitor, he tries his best not to get sucked into a war with them, and lives his life the way he chooses. He's happy with his group of friends and his Quidditch, and has dreams of becoming a Professional Quidditch player once he graduates.
