xxx♩♯PERSONALITYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
CASUAL Angier was raised in seemingly disparate contexts: the austere university, and the ruckus pub. But between both, Angier found that academics and drunks alike were all people with interesting insights of the world, and underneath the different aesthetics of circumstance, people were just people. Despite his parents’ pretensions, Angie has adopted (if unwittingly) a more laid-back attitude as the best way to ingratiate himself.

PEDANTIC Make no mistake, as intellectual as Angier is, he also loves the pomp of “being an intellectual”. He likes explanations for everything, and tries to appeal to reason when possible. He listens to professors and graduate students discuss theories all day, listens to people reminisce at the pub, and reads voraciously on top of that just to understand the stories better. He’s rather adaptable to new information and research and keen to learn anything he can get his hands on. But even in casual conversation Angie enjoys demonstrate his knowledge or ability at something: He’ll talk anyone to death over semantics and details, but if given an opportunity to show off, he will.

SENTIMENTAL Try as he might to pretend he’s perfectly logical, Angier has an obvious sentimental and curious streak that might be his actual strength. Curious about everything from personal experience quantum physics, Angie tends to personify and add a layer of attachment to everything he does and talks to his work as though it were another conscious agent. He keeps pictures from everywhere and journals almost obsessively, saving each one “just in case we forget”.

SELF- ASSURED Things have always come easy to Angier, from academics to athletics, from making friends to making music. He’s accustomed to just being better than his classmates, picking things up more quickly, and used to everything just...falling into place. Thus, he can be snooty, dismissive or even insensitive at times, even if he doesn’t actually think of himself as inherently better than others. He’s used to always surpassing expectations and doesn’t really worry about other people. His job is doing the best he can and that’s always been enough.

TALKATIVE Angier thinks out loud and can often be seen mumbling in quick short bursts to himself as he figures things out. He has enough self-control to shut up when being talked to and enjoys hearing new thoughts almost as much as he likes showing off his own, but otherwise thinks out loud, sharing his thinking process and excitement in little hyper bursts.

♩♯⌬HOBBIES
■ Journaling/note taking
■ Playing the violin/ cello
■ “Research”— drawing diagrams, studying schoolwork, talking theory


♩♯LIKES
■ Irish Pub music
■ Finding patterns
■ Mocktails/ mixed drinks/ lattes are love.
■ Photos and drawings. Tangible scrapbook things.
■ Fancy conferences--because it’s an opportunity to learn and show off.


DISLIKES
■ Mornings
■ People treating him like a kid.
■ Not having internet access
■ “Chance” -- Nothing “just happens”. Everything came from somewhere. Everything makes sense.
■ Fancy conferences-- because dressing up


♩♯STRENGTHS
■ Analytical-- Angie is good at understanding how things work together.
■ Talented and self-assured-- Things have always just come to him.


WEAKNESSES
■ Fixed mindset-- Some people are just good at some things and bad at others. If he gets up to a wall he must simply not be smart enough. Things have always just come to him so he doesn’t yet know how to actually study and work hard.
■ Bragging. This guy is a complete show off.


♩♯DREAMS
■ Winning the Nobel Prize
■ Getting married


FEARS
■ Something just...not making sense. Things have never just not made sense, whatever other people say.
■ Fear Itself-- Not in the sense that he’s particularly brave or anything. Angier is more afraid of the feeling of the fight or flight movement, the instant his body shuts down for some reason or another. He’s afraid his body will one day betray him, and there’ll be nothing he can do about it.


xxx♩♯BACKSTORYxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
♩♯⌬EARLY CHILDHOOD Angier was his parents’ second child-- their first had been taken by Faye’s grandfather, never to be seen again. Ironically, it was losing Alice that brought a sudden understanding and kinship to the couple. They still argued. They still complained and fought. But they saw Angier as their redemption, and were determined to raise him better.

His mother, Faye, worked shifts as a bartender and waitress. His father, Dr. Iain Zheng, was usually at work, first as a researcher, then as an assistant professor at Trinity College. If neither of them could be home to watch him, they would shuttle him between their workplaces. Iain could keep an eye on him as long as he wasn’t teaching or at a conference, and Faye kept a close eye on him from the pub. At four, when Angie tried mimicking her magic, Faye showed him how she did it, and let him hold her wand. He would one day get his own, she said. But this power must be kept secret from all people, especially his father. Angier didn’t understand why, but his mother seemed so serious that he agreed.

Once, Faye took him on a few errands. They walked through a wall, and were in a street that sold weird things like eyeballs and funny smelling plants. He wandered around the bookstore and started talking to people. When she found him, Faye seemed shocked, and mistook the girl for Alice-- at home, she finally told him the story about how he had an older sister who had been taken away. She explained how his father had discovered magic and become very angry. She explained how there would be chaos on the streets if muggles knew about magic. Angier promised to keep magic secret, and as Faye saw how careful he was, she relaxed. She occasionally took him on her errands to Diagon Alley, and after a while even let him wander the shops with a little pocket change.


♩♯⌬SCHOOL YEARS In muggle primary school, Angie was a top student and musician even after skipping a grade. He didn’t think much of it-- nothing was really hard for him, and he was generally just good at anything he did. When he finished his homework, Angie would listen in on his father’s meetings, or talk to pub patrons and listen to the group playing.

Anticipating his magical education, Faye requested speaking with Governess Nora Heulwen about keeping the truth of magic from Iain. Angier was ambivalent about the change: He had been voted class representative last year and there were discussions about attending an advanced music program. He was upset to leave his friends-- and couldn’t even tell them what was going on besides “fancy boarding school”. And not being able to go to college ruined his entire plan to be a professor like his father.

But Angie had to admit he was always fascinated by magic and thankfully two of his schoolmates, Torin and Skyla Byrnes, also turned out to be magical folks. Maybe they could be friends and keep up with muggle high school work alongside their Hogwarts schoolwork together.

♩♯FIRST YEAR Hogwarts was not what Angier thought it would be. If it weren't for his hopeless crush on fifth year Tzuki Zhao-Jennings, Angie likely would have spent half the year trying to escape. As it was, he was enchanted, if confused, by magic. He had fun with DnD, this strange new game he wasn't quite sure how to play. And of course, Angier dedicated himself to learning braille to understand Tzuki better. He didn't quite make his usual perfect grades, which gave him pause when reporting back to his parents.

Finally, Angier met who his mysterious older sister had been. Alice Zheng had become Weslyn Knolle, shy and timid, but gentle and hardworking. He was glad to meet and befriend her, even if their interactions looked nothing like how he had always imagined they would be.

SECOND YEAR At first, Angie really only wanted to go back to Hogwarts because Tzuki would be there, but once back, he put effort into enjoying classes and clubs, and of course, keeping up with music. He again tried to get into the music elective, but ended up just practicing by himself. He did try to tutor someone in music club, which somewhat helped. Over the year he befriended Milan Wellbelove, a fashion-conscious boy that seemed to actually like his talkativeness rather than despite it.

♩♯THIRD YEAR Angier was excited to start electives-- and finally music! He got to know Jude Cairn, Tzuki's boyfriend, over this year, and eventually supported their relationship.

Over the summer, he spent a week with Milan's family at a cultural show and concert, and got to talking with his sister Yaretzi. They got along pretty well, and after learning she had a crush on him, he got Tzuki and Milan's blessing to ask Yari out.
