He has broad shoulders and defined muscles, while maintaining more of a slim figure than a bulky one. He never intended to get a six pack, but what with all of the physical and martial training at Durmstrang, it happened almost naturally. His hair is chestnut brown with streaks of copper, his eyes are a rich espresso shade, and his skin tone is slightly tanned. He has freckles dotting his cheeks, forehead and neck in sporadic sprinklings. There is almost no taming his hair, so he puts a little balm on his hands and runs his fingers through it, letting it do its own, slightly messy, spiky thing. <br/><br/><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Protective | Stubborn | Modest | Jealous | Possessive | Indulgent | Playful<br/><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong> Aaren was born to Olle and Ida Sandstrom, who were, in their parents opinions, much too young to have their first child. Olle was twenty and Ida was nineteen. It was never their plan to increase their family so soon, but it had happened - and it happened during the holidays, when he was visiting home. Ida worried when she found out about him being a wizard and going to Durmstrang for his education, that he would leave her, knocked up and alone. Olle promised he would be there for her as often as he could be. It didn't help that she could never visit him at school, since Durmstrang was so secretive about its location and teachings. However, as soon as he could, he learned how to apparate, and made sure he was there for Ida whenever he could be. His grades started to suffer as a result and one professor took notice. He couldn't lie about it, and frankly, could use some advice from someone wiser and older than he was. So, accomodations were made and Olle was able to finish his schooling, while still being there for his pregnant girlfriend. When their son was born, Ida let go of her dreams to go to college and instead, focused on being the best mother she could be. The school paid for her to live nearby - close enough that Olle could live with them while he attended Durmstrang. And, with love guiding them, they made it work. <br/><br/>They were married when Aaren was two years old. Just one short year later, and Ida was pregnant with Aaren's baby sister, Linn. Olle taught Aaren the importance of being an upstanding man. He taught Aaren how to take care of his sister. Even though they had their fair share of spats, like all siblings do, at the end of the day, Aaren made sure his little sister was always cared for, protected and even though he'd never say it, he actually enjoyed her company quite a bit. The two siblings spent most of their academic careers in school at around the same time. But during the overlaps when Aaren couldn't check on her, he grew a bit anxious, especially when he'd hear say that she was struggling with stress or having a difficult time acclimating. When Aaren decided that he would be putting his name into the goblet of fire for the Triwizard Tournament, Linn protested. She knew it was dangerous and risky, that every other tournament ended in someone's death. But, she couldn't talk him out of it.<br/><br/>Aaren has learned, after a bit of experimentation in his teens, that he doesn't care about the gender of a person, in terms of a romantic relationship. He has been with both men and women, and finds that he had no real preference between the two. When he wants to be with someone, it's because of who they are, not what their genetic makeup dictates. The only person in his family who knows about him being bisexual is his sister, Linn. Though it took her some time to get used to the idea of her brother dating anyone, let alone dating either gender, she accepted him for who he is, knowing that he would do the exact same thing for her. If anything, it strengthened and solidified their bond with one another. This year, undoubtedly, will be difficult for them both. Aaren is heading to Hogwarts for the tournament, but Linn is staying behind at Durmstrang, maintaining that it is too dangerous and risky, no matter how many protective charms and preventive spells were placed on the courses. <br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong> Homemade food | Being in control | Good fortune (thanks to his wand, even if some people believe that's just a superstition) <br/><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong> Burnt or otherwise inedible food | Intolerant people | Fear of ending up alone or being shunned by his family <br/><br/><strong>Family:</strong> <br/><br/>Father | Olle Sandstrom | Department of Mysteries - Sweden | 41 | Half-blood<br/>Mother | Ida Sandstrom | Baker - works from home | 40 | Muggle <br/>Sister | Linn Sandstrom | Student - Durmstrang | 19 | Half-blood <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> - E<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - O<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - O<br/><em>Potions</em> - A<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br/><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br/><em>Divination</em> - O<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - O<br/><em>Arithmancy</em> - A<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br/><br/><strong>NEWT Grades:</strong> <br/><br/><em>Transfiguration</em> - E<br/><em>Herbology</em> - E<br/><em>Defense Against the Dark Arts</em> - A<br/><em>Ancient Runes</em> - A<br/><em>Care of Magical Creatures</em> - E<br/><em>Astronomy</em> - E<br/><em>Divination</em> - A<br/><em>History of Magic</em> - A<br/><em>Muggle Studies</em> - E<br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Miscellaneous Information</em>«</span></div><br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong> Gregg Sulkin<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong> Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=156601.msg7169944#msg7169944)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong> Aaren has a mild Swedish accent, but is fluent in both Swedish and English.</div></div>
