CREATIVE xxx»» Whit considers himself, first and foremost, an artist. He's a versatile musician, a decent writer, and a clever thinker. He's good at noticing things others miss, and finding unusual solutions to problems. He's good at improv and thinking on his feet, and rarely finds himself stumped when he's in a new situation. He likes to make things, or at least improve them. Unfortunately, he also tends to be dissatisfied if he thinks what he's working on is too similar to something he's seen or heard before. He's his own harshest critic, and it often holds him back.
SNEAKY xxx»» While he's not particularly 'sneaky' in the traditional sense (not being able to hear has left him unaware of how loud he is), Whitney's very good at plotting things behind people's backs, keeping secrets, and telling lies. He's hardly a delinquent, but he's not exactly an angel, either. This habit tends to get him into trouble, but it has its upsides. Namely, he's excellent at surprising people when he wants to.
RAMBUNCTIOUS xxx»» Whitney always had a lot of energy. Seemingly too much for his body, in fact, when he was younger. He seemed physically incapable of sitting still, and doesn't quite grasp the concept of 'walking', as he'd much rather run everywhere. He likes doing anything that gets him moving. When he was about six, he started learning to skateboard, which resulted in more than a few scrapes and even a broken bone or two, but it keeps him occupied and is safer than letting him run wild. Since then he's been drawn to any- and everything that both requires movement and could potentially injure him.
BULL-HEADED xxx»» Trying to argue with Whitney is akin to arguing with a brick wall, though many people will swear up and down arguing with the wall is easier. He's exceptionally stubborn, and would rather lock himself in his room than admit to being wrong. He never quite grew out of 'accidentally' forgetting his hearing aids, and delights in using their absence as an excuse for not listening to people. He has also, on occasion, faked being blind as well so that he could ignore another person's signing. This tactic has never once fooled anybody, but that doesn't stop him from using it, even on family and his best friends.
SARCASTIC xxx»» It seems like Whitney somehow managed to grasp the art of sarcasm before he actually learned to speak, either vocally or with sign. There are many photos of him as an infant with what can only be described as an exasperated expression, and he'd barely grasped the art of speaking in sentences before he was imitating his father's wit. When he can't manage to think of anything clever to say, he simply crosses his arms and arches his brow, giving the other person an expectant look, trying to throw them off long enough for him to come up with a comeback. It doesn't typically take long, and he's happy to trade barbs for hours if that's what it takes to come out on top.
MANIPULATIVE xxx»» Whitney likes to get his way, and having what others view as a severe handicap is something he's more than willing to exploit. It doesn't work so well growing up, seeing as his parents are siblings are all as well, but his hearing relatives and various other people in his life have more often than not fallen victim to his using it against them at least once. He's quick to use whatever he can to worm his way into or out of things, and is an excellent actor when he needs to be.
STRENGTHS xxx»» Strong sense of self xxx»» Good sense of humor WEAKNESSES xxx»» Stubborn xxx»» Arrogant FEARS xxx»» Voids xxx»» Pyramid head

CHILDHOOD xxx»» Whitney had an interesting childhood, to say the least. He was the first child in his family, his younger brother Dean coming a year later, quite unexpectedly (his parents really hadn't meant to have two kids so close together). The Prescott parents were more careful after that, at least until they decided they wanted another child, around when Dean was 4. Little Jessalyn was the final addition to the family, both parents having decided they were too old, and not wanting to risk another boy. Like their parents, all three children were born Deaf, though none of them realized that this was unusual in any way for a long time. xxx»» Being the child of an Unspeakable (their mother thought she was so funny, and was staffed in the Death Chamber on top if it) and an actor certainly made life interesting. Especially when Whitney came across an old recording of one of his father's stage shows, a Deaf production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which the man in question played Rocky. He was slightly disturbed, but that didn't stop him from showing the play to his siblings, much to his parent's annoyance. They were told later that was the night their parents met, which handily explained why they'd been so reticent with details about it in the past. xxx»» Whitney was seven the first time his magic acted up; his father was fighting him to wear his hearing aid, which he has always and swears he will always hate, when the contraption flat out vanished into thin air. Whitney was thrilled, of course, since it meant he had to go without it until they could replace it. Unfortunately for him, his mother decided it would be best to keep an extra set handy after that. But, he elected to focus on the positive; namely, the fact that he had magic, and would be attending Hogwarts, which sounded amazing. As much as he enjoyed being a miniature stage hand (and extra), he was pretty sure helping his father's productions would be easier with magic. Unfortunately, he still had to wait a while four years to go to Hogwarts, which was, quite frankly, an exercise in torture.
SCHOOL YEARS xxx»» Whitney was sorted into Slytherin upon coming to Hogwarts, and spent his school years nurturing a robust social circle and extracurriculars. His best friend, a shy Hufflepuff named Seok-Jin, became his personal project as he attempted to help the anxious boy become more assertive and confident, with mixed results. He joined his house Quidditch team, and was a member of the drama and music clubs. In third year he also joined the newly-formed language club, volunteering to assist its first year captain, with something of an ulterior motive; he figured it was a decent way to get other people to learn BSL. This also had somewhat mixed results. Still, overall his years at school were enjoyable. The most standout event was a food fight he personally started in the Great Hall to try and alleviate the grief the Lee siblings felt when their father died. Either that, or his best friend being bitten by a werewolf, but Whit doesn't count that since it's not like it happened to him.
ADULTHOOD xxx»» Following graduation, Whit worked with his friends Cel and Maura, who had been co-captains of the school's drama club their last couple of years, to open a magically-run theater company. It took a little time, and no small amount of money, but eventually the siblings were able to purchase a smallish building and began working on finding talent. Whit was brought on officially as music director, though at first he was more the sound technician than an actual director of any sort.

xxx𝓟𝒆𝓻𝓼𝓸𝓷𝓪𝓵𝓲𝓽𝔂xxx xxxxx⇾Wɪʟᴅ: Jessalyn is entirely too hyper. She runs around and makes way too much noise, which is okay in her mind, since she can't hear it. xxxxx⇾Cᴜʀɪᴏᴜs: Jessalyn loves learning anything and everything. Unfortunately, she hates learning by reading, so unless it's a hands-on study, she'll find something better to do. xxxxx⇾Iᴍᴀɢɪɴᴀᴛɪᴠᴇ: Jessalyn has a vivid imagination. This causes some issues because she often drifts into daydreaming when in class or when she's in the middle of other tasks. xxxxx⇾Rᴇʙᴇʟʟɪᴏᴜs: Consequences don't mean a thing to Jessalyn. She often does things she's not supposed to do, just so she can see if she can get out of trouble. xxxxx⇾Cʜᴀʀᴍɪɴɢ: Jessalyn has an adorable charm about her. She's good at wrapping people around her fingers, and she uses this to get out of trouble most of the time. xxxxx⇾Rᴇᴄᴋʟᴇss: Jessalyn often acts without real worry about safety and care. She never stops to think about her actions before just doing them, and fully believes everyone else won't mind her wild abandon.

xxx𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx Jessalyn was born to a wonderful little family with two older brothers. Her dad was an actor, while her mom worked in the ministry doing "unspeakable" stuff. Honestly, Jess doesn't even really know what that means. Her mom almost never speaks anyway??? When she was old enough for Preschool, she learned that being in a family of all deaf people was considered weird, and it was then that the toddler first tried hearing aids, only to discover they didn't help her hear at all. She developed a hatred for the devices, while also learning to embrace herself as a wonderful deaf girl. She got to laugh when her older brother made his set vanish, but only because they shared a mutual hatred of the annoying devices. When she went to kindergarten, her teacher tried to send her to the "special" classes, which Jessalyn protested heavily, since she's really very smart for her age. Instead, she got by with writing her words on a whiteboard, and managed to stay in her normal classes.
As her brothers left for school, Jess felt more alone than she had her whole life, which was the worst about being the youngest. First went Whit, then Dean went a couple years later. That, unfortunately gave her a lot of free time. She poured that extra time into any extracurricular activity available. She took a few extra classes, but decided her skills lay outside academics. Oh well, right? She still got to see her brothers over the holidays, and she cherished that time, even though one summer Whit was down because his friend had gotten hurt. Though, she hadn't really gotten more details than that, she was happy to try and help her brother cheer up. Finally, that next January, she was invited to join Hogwarts herself, and she couldn't be more excited.
