The Character
Name: Basil Embry
Nicknames (if any): "B"
Age & Year: 11, first year
Blood: Pure Blood
Wand: Ash, unicorn hair
Personality: Although oddly precocious, Basil still can't distinguish what is appropriate and tends to make awkward (yet true) comments based on his acute observations of the adults around him. Some of his comments can even be misconstrued as being a bit cheeky, but he doesn't mean to be rude. Basil is responsible and independent, but yearns to enjoy a regular childhood of reckless antics, foolish escapades, and making friends his own age. Thus, he is unusually eager to start at Hogwarts.
Appearance: Brown hair, green eyes, a bit small for his age
History: The only son of a widowed wizard, Basil has been taking care of himself since his mother, an official in the Ministry's Department of Magical Accidents and Catastrophes, vanished during an investigation. although English, Basil and his father moved to Ballintubber, Ireland, to forget their tragedy and have lived there since.
