He has bronzed skin, dark brown hair and chestnut brown eyes. Some people say he has a baby face and while that's something he might be thankful for later in life, for now, it is annoying to hear. He is six feet tall and has a slender, but slightly muscular build, while still maintaining a lithe figure. He is sometimes spotted with his glasses, which are thick, oval shaped black frames, but generally dislikes glasses and prefers to wear his contacts.  <br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Carefree | Independent | Adaptable | Daydreamer | Spontaneous | Romantic | Agreeable | Easy to please<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong> Daniel was born to Santiago and Natalia, in Barcelona Spain. Natalia was a singer who often traveled to conduct performances. Santiago was a carpenter who only worked when there was work to be done. Money was tight. Very tight. They struggled during most of their relationship, financially. Money was often the cause of their arguments. Then, one day, Natalia became pregnant. Though a child was not in their plans, she had every intention of keeping the baby. Santiago, however, was resistant to the idea. He wasn't ready to become a father and the idea that he soon would be one whether he liked it or not, was too much for him to bear. He frequented local bars and avoided Natalia more and more, the larger her stomach grew. <br/><br/>When it finally came time and Daniel was born, Natalia was overjoyed. She had to drive herself to the hospital once she confirmed her contractions with a nurse on the phone, because Santiago was - as usual - not at home. At the hospital, staff contacted Santiago, who arrived after Daniel had gotten his first bath. It occurred to Natalia that Santiago would just continue to miss the firsts in their son's life. Having her son put things into perspective; she realized she couldn't raise a newborn son in the same home as an alcoholic who was trying to drown his sorrows and erase his mistakes at the bar. Daniel wasn't a mistake, she maintained. And even though it was difficult, she separated from Santiago before Daniel was even a week old. Natalia had her parents to help raise Daniel, allowing her to continue to sing and earn money to care for him. <br/><br/>More often than not, she would overextend herself, picking up multiple gigs at a time. Santiago sent money every so often, after being persuaded to do so by Natalia's parents - she was too proud to ask, herself. But, ultimately, Daniel was raised in a home that was brimming with love. Though he couldn't always get new clothes when he needed them, or wasn't always able to eat seconds for dinner because they needed to keep plenty for the following day, he was never lacking in love and affection from his family. When he became school aged, he realized that not having a dad made him seem weird to the other kids. He visited Santiago from time to time, but those visits became more and more sparse over the years. Santiago had met someone much younger, got her pregnant, and married her shortly after she gave birth to twin boys. <br/><br/>One day, a flood wreaked havoc on Natalia's home. They lost almost all of their belongings. Pictures, scrapbooks, old toys and homework assignments, Daniel's used roller blades, Natalia's rented gowns for gigs, the couch they had forever which was already worn and tattered from use, along with all of the food in their fridge. They had to escape their house by climbing to the roof - thankfully, Daniel was old enough and strong enough, to help his mom - and flagging down a rescue boat. After that, they had to start over from scratch. They moved in with Natalia's parents, who welcomed them with open arms. Yet, Natalia felt guilty for staying with them. She felt guilty that she couldn't provide Daniel with a safe upbringing. Even though there was no way that she could have prepared for such a damaging flood. <br/><br/>In desperation, Natalia reached out to Santiago, but he had no plans of continuing to pay child support, and claimed to have no means to help them further. Even though his new wife was unemployed and living in the lap of luxury. It was hard to leave his mom and grandparents behind for Beauxbatons, but Natalia knew Daniel was special and this explained it. He used to play with a magician's set when he was younger, but now he could perform real magic. Daniel always said he wanted to be a magician when he grew up, and now, somehow that was a possibility! His mother persuaded him to go, to enjoy himself, and not to worry about her. But, he still does. When Daniel was no longer a minor had more say in how often he'd visit his dad, he informed everyone involved that he would rather not visit Santiago's new family, if he didn't have to. Although it never seemed to bother him on a personal level, Daniel harbored some ill feelings toward his father and vowed to be a better man than him. <br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Muggle magic | Freedom | Exploring | Quidditch | Showers (not baths) | Alcohol (maybe a bit too much)<br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Feeling caged | Confrontation | Floods | Lakes and Oceans | Fear of drowning | Being lectured about drinking<br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> <br/><br/>Father | Santiago Delgado | Carpenter | 55 | Muggle<br/>Biological Mother | Natalia Vazquez-Delgado | Singer | 51 | Halfblood<br/>Step-Mother | Alessandra Delgado | Unemployed | 30 | Muggle<br/>Half-Brothers (twin boys) | Diego &amp; Mateo Delgado | Children | 5 | Muggles<br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Academic Information</em>«</span></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Marks</div><div class="spoiler_body"><span class="bbc_u">Passing Grades</span><br/>O - Outstanding<br/>E - Exceeds Expectations<br/>A - Acceptable<br/><br/><span class="bbc_u">Failing Grades</span><br/>P - Poor<br/>D - Dreadful<br/><del>T - Troll</del><br/></div></div><br/><br/><br/><strong>OWL Grades:</strong> <br/><em>Charms</em> - A<br/><em>Transfiguration</em> - A<br/><em>Herbology</em> - A<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - E<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br/><em>Potions</em> - E<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br/><em>Astronomy</em> - A<br/><em>Divination</em> - P<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br/><em>Arithmancy</em> - P<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong><br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br/><em>Potions</em> - A<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - O<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - O<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><br/><strong>Pet:</strong> Hedgehog named Hedgy - Found on Beauxbatons grounds last year<br/><br/>(https://i.pinimg.com/236x/a2/dd/92/a2dd92f13ebb7d4c6957593e6ab4bc5a--rhodes-xavier.jpg)<br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Xavier Serrano<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.msg7169944#msg7169944)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong> He speaks Spanish, French and English fluently.
