■ COMPETITIVE Aggressively ambitious, he hates to lose. He'll endure any means and risk everything so long as he comes out the victor. (Plus, he's something of a sore loser.) ■ GOOFY He's lighthearted, playful, and animated; fond of using cartoonish expressions and exaggerated noises for a cheap laugh. A kid at heart, he'll always have more fun with the children rather than the adults of a group. ■ JEALOUSPetty can be an understatement. He has a habit of taking everything to heart, and is quick to imagine slights taken against him. He's rather shameless when it comes to securing his position (whatever that may be) and isn't afraid to vocalize such. (Or pout, if the occasion demands for it.) ■ AFFECTIONATETender, caring, and devoted to his friends and loved ones, he can seem a bit overbearing. Naturally family-oriented, he's quick to adopt a friend as family. He wears his heart on his sleeve and loves to hug people. (And also stalk them, sneak up on them, prank them, and tackle them from the shadows. It's all his way of saying "I love you." ) ■ IRRATIONALNever one to think things through, he always over or under-estimates a scenario. He makes mountains out of mole hills and brushes dragons off his shoulder like flies. Instead of using logic or reason, he drives on emotion. And, more often than not, he grossly dramatizes everything. ■ STUBBORNDominic won't take no for an answer and he'll never back down. Admitting defeat is worse than death to him, and he'd rather stick it out till the dirty end than ever admit that he'd been wrong. He's impatient and hardheaded, which makes for a wonderfully annoying combination.
CHILDHOODDominic was born to a very wealthy and prominent pureblood family. As the secondborn son to Charles and Mary-Louise Montague, he didn't have as much responsibility as his elder brother, Gabriel. Dominic was spoiled rotten, and his earliest memories can recall this. He had always been the baby of the family, had always gotten everything he wanted, and had always had an ambition for quidditch. When he was a toddler, his favorite toy with his miniature broom, and his favorite days were the quidditch games he and his brother and father went too.
SCHOOL YEARS When Dominic reached Hogwarts, he started to flail. At first, everything had seemed alright. He brought his camera with him on the train and boat ride, and again at the sorting feast. Once classes started, a clear line began to divide those purebloods true to the old ways, and literally everyone else. He made friends with Damien, and enemies with Adalaide and Michelle, eventually Marina and Grace too. But over the years, things began to change. Dominic and Damien changed. Their perspective changed. And so did their relationships with the rest of the school. Damien began to date Marina, and while the Edgeworth's reception of it wasn't welcoming, they warmed to it (Especially when Damien's mother killed herself.) Sad as that was, kinda, at least Damien and his da' started to get along. Dominic, on the other hand, hadn't been so lucky with his own parents. When they found out about him and Gracie, they tried to break it off. His mother even tried to bribe Grace. It didn't work. They cut him off financially, to the point where it was starting to bring shame to their name, so they reluctantly gave in. But when it became clear that Dominic had no intention of leaving his halfblood girlfriend, they kicked him out and cut ties for good.
POST GRADUATIONDominic moved in with Gracie, and while it seemed like all of their friends started to get married, they hadn't. He'd been too scared. His girlfriend was a vampire, after all, and that meant something. It meant he would die one day, it meant they could never have children, it meant that the life he had always wanted would never be the life he would have. But instead of ever seeing reason, he only saw the worst in every aspect. Dominic decided then, that, if he didn't actually do anything, then nothing bad could happen, right? Well, wrong. Because he and Grace wouldn't stop fighting about it. Even after they adopted a puppy, and then a little girl. Aiobheal ended up being the best thing to ever happen to them, but there was still one problem. He was aging, and he would die.
Grace and Aiobheal decided they would change Dominic's mind, one way or another. Eventually, Grace concocted an aging potion that would give him a glimpse into what his life would be like if he continued down the road of mortality. And it scared the bloody piss out of him. Honestly, it didn't really take much convincing after seeing all of this wrinkles and liver spots and saggy bollocks.
It took a bit of convincing for Chris to turn to Dominic, but not as much as he thought. By August 2032, he was a vampire. And tt seemed as though everyone but him had been wondering when the day would finally come, as if they had known all along and he was the only one who didn't. Still, it took some getting used too. He had to learn to control his strength, how to block out the unnecessary sounds and smells, how to stay hidden, and how to feed. Having Gracie, Chris and Ada to help him along, the transition came a bit easier to him than others. If anything, he misses sitting under the sun. But his life has been much more peaceful now. He had to quit his career in quidditch, and after several months, decided to become a broommaker. Then, in July of 2033, instead of having a big elaborate wedding like they planned, he and Grace eloped with Eve and a few close friends in attendance before parting ways to enjoy their honeymoon, leaving Eve in the care of Ada's mom with her best friend, Melody.

■ OUTSPOKEN Gwyn grew up in a loud, expressive household that taught her to speak her mind and stand up for herself. She figured out from an early age that if she wanted any attention in her life she was going to have demand it. She's not afraid to speak her mind and if she's not careful, she can be a bit too blunt or sarcastic because of it. ■ EMOTIONAL Gwyn is easily swayed by the emotions around and reflects it internally onto herself. Her parents were usually always happy and fun, and it was contagious for her, so even when she would rather be reading books she'll enjoy herself in their theatrical plays. On the downside, being so empathetic can be negative too, if she's around too much negative energy, sad or angry, it'll affect her mood similarly. ■ COMPETITIVE Naturally ambitious, Gwyn is eager to be the best at everything. She's highly driven when she has a goal, but without one, she can feel lost and unmotivated. While she's not a leader, per say, she has a lot of opinions on what could help the leader, making her a good second-in-command, so to speak. Unfortunately, she doesn't take very well to losing. ■ PERCEPTIVE Gwyneth ordinarily prefers to watch and listen before acting and speaking. She picks up on social cues, emotional expressions, and patterns rather quickly. She knows when to pick her battles. ■ STUDIOUS Gwyneth loves her books, she loves exploring different worlds and histories from the comfort of her own room. She is a quick-learner and over-achiever. She's not gifted with math, but she excels in words and writing. ■ CREATIVE When she isn't reading, she's usually sketching in her notebook. Gwyn has a knack for drawing, painting, and baking. (She especially enjoys comic books.) Her creative bursts come and go, sometimes they're gone longer than they come. When faced with a problem, she tries to take as many different approaches as she can to find the best solution.
CHILDHOODGwyneth Siwan McHalen was born Gwyneth Siwan Driscoll in Wales. She was the firstborn twin. About five minutes later, Rhydian, her twin brother, was born. Their mother died of complications and the twins were left with their devastated single father. Because of the love their father had for them and their mother, he did his very best to care for them. Gwyneth was taught both Welsh, their native language, and English and babbled in languages made up by her and her brother.
When she and her brother neared the age of four, they began showing magic. Their mother had been a witch and never told their father. He was a religious man, and with no guidance, he could only assume they were possessed by the devil. They were brought to a big church to be exorcised and their father never returned for them. It was revealed he had committed suicide. They were then left to an orphanage by the pastor. The twins were only at the orphanage for about a month before being fostered and adopted by a young couple, Dominic and Grace McHalen. Who turned out to be vampires. And Gwyn and Rhydie were a witch and wizard, just like the rest of their family, including their older sister, Aiobheal. Overall, Gwyneth remembers very little of the horrible ordeal.
Over the years, Gwyneth and her siblings grew together in a happy home, and she spent her childhood filled with love and hope. Her parents were very loud, emotional and dramatic in the weirdest ways. Over the years, Gwyneth felt she disappeared into the background when she wasn't fighting to compete with the grandiose characters of her family members. She loved them, but sometimes, even she had to admit they could be a little immature and petty. Rhydian hardly seemed to notice, because he only saw the advantage in it. So she took great comfort in her books and learning and was thrilled to be moving into a big, new house in the city where she could make very good use of their local library. After receiving her Hogwarts letter, she was most looking forward to visiting their grand library.

■ HYPERACTIVEThere is no such thing as too much energy for Rhydian. He's always bouncing off the walls, running, climbing, jumping, or skipping. He hates sitting still, and vocally protests when having to do so. ■ DISORGANIZEDForgetful and impatient, he doesn't like to take the time to be orderly, or clean after himself, or put something back where he found it. He has a tendency to grab random objects and drop them off somewhere else, causing others to think they've misplaced something when really, he had just moved it and forgotten. ■ QUIRKYRhydian finds joy in the unusual and too-often looked over. He fancies odd, outdated clothing and loves the sound of elevator music. He speaks his mind about his odd theories and wonders and beliefs, and feels no shame in being himself. ■ IMPULSIVE"Think first and act second" will never be a term to apply to Rhydian. He will always jump before he looks, and he will never think about the consequences of his actions until it's too late. In Rhydian's opinion, life is just about trying to have as much fun as you can. ■ WILLINGNever the type to say no, he's always down to play, to hang out, or prank someone. He's more than happy to lend a helping hand to anyone who might ask. Even if it's for something he might not personally agree with, it's just hard for him to say no. ■ HUMOROUSDespite everything that's happened, Rhydian can still find joy in the little things. He'll find a way to laugh at anything. His sense of humor at this age usually consists of immature words like "arse" and "duty" and anytime someone burps or farts.

CHILDHOODBorn Rhydian Madog Driscoll just five minutes after his twin sister, Gwyneth, their mother would then pass away shortly after childbirth. It ruined their father. But he struggled to give his children everything they deserved, it's what the love of his life would have wanted. So he devoted all of himself to his children, they were all he had. Rhydian and Gwyn were taught Welsh and English, but they spent most of their time playing and trying to create their own gibberish language that no else could understand.
Despite the few occasions where the twins wondered why they didn't have a mother like every other family did; their life had been a happy one. When they turned four, however, odd things started to happen. Their magic had begun to surface and since their father was a heavily religious man, he thought they were cursed, then haunted or possessed. He had pastors visit them, but one day he took the twins to a church to be exorcised and never returned. Rhydian never understood why. It was discovered that their father had committed suicide and the twins were promptly sent to an orphanage.
He always thought their father would come back for them. A month had passed when a young family came to meet them in the night. Rhydian almost fell asleep, but he was glad he didn't. They were quickly being fostered and adopted by the couple, Grace and Dominic McHalen, and gained a new sister, Aiobheal. Their parents were vampires, it turns out, and their sister was a witch. The twins were magical too, a witch and wizard. Rhydian has very little memory of his father, and would have forgotten his face if not for the photographs they had received shortly after his funeral.
Their new mom and dad were a weird bunch, very loud and expressive and giving. He wasn't used to so much love and adventure and excitement in one household (at night, anyway), which made it all the worse knowing he couldn't stay up too late past his bedtimes during those younger years. Gwyneth retreated into her books but Rhydian took a shine to Dominic's love of flying, quidditch, and brooms. He insists on test driving all of his fathers new creations (even if he always says 'no.') Rhydian had hoped that when they moved out of the apartment to their new home, it would be far enough away from muggles to ride his broom, but no, they were in the city. After receiving his Hogwarts letter, the thing he was most looking forward to was joining the quidditch team.
