Traits:</strong><br/><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Driven</strong> -- Cai is a type A personality, though he doesn't express it verbally.  His actions can be hidden or out in the open, but he's always working on something.  He's always propelled by the sensation that he's not good enough.</li><li><strong>Complicated</strong> -- He seems to hide more about himself than most people do.  Whether this comes from his upbringing, or is just intrinsic to his personality is anyone's guess.  It's a rare person who gets to see the real Cai exposed.</li><li><strong>Friendly</strong> -- Despite his secrets, Mr. Hildebrondus presents a pleasant demeanor to the outside world.  This is probably one of his actual personality traits that he didn't suppress...after all, you catch more flies with honey than vinegar, right?</li><li><strong>Independent</strong> -- He's used to having to do things on his own, what with the minimalist approach his parents have taken with his upbringing.</li><li><strong>Nervous</strong> -- Although he tends to hide it well, Cai experiences a lot of stress over choices in his life.  He's no zen master.  A lot of it probably owes to the conflict he goes through over which path in life will be the best to take--light or dark.</li><li><strong>Creative</strong> -- He's already a committed inventor of new spells.  Nothing particularly useful or amazing yet, but he definitely loves the thrill of a new discovery.</li><li><strong>Arrogant</strong> -- Cai is aware of this trait, and in a lot of ways, he's comfortable with it.  Like a lot of Ravenclaws, he's an intellectual, and he just doesn't have time to suffer fools.  He doesn't come out and tell them they're idiots...but he feels it regardless.</li><li><strong>Stubborn</strong> -- Along with the arrogance comes self-confidence to the point of blatant refusal to accept the possibility that someone else could be right, and him wrong.</li><li><strong>Strong-Willed</strong> -- Perhaps the positive connotation of his stubborn nature.  While he gets nervous about his choices, it's not because he made weak ones.  He pushes himself to almost always take the most difficult choice, because he believes in his success, and talents.</li><li><strong>Discordant</strong> -- Regardless of his affable nature, Cai marches to the beat of his own drum.  Following in the footsteps of his supreme confidence, he just doesn't give any fucks about what others think of him.  He won't be anyone other than who he wants to be.</li></ul><br/><strong>Brief History:</strong><br/>Cairon Kosi Hildebrandus is the only son of Botulf Hildebrandus and Ebo Adomako, two wizards who have jointly run a bookstore and research center in Blackwater for over thirty years.  Named for a distant ancestor of Botulf and his Ghanian day name, his fathers played a wizarding version of Trivial Pursuit to find out who would sire him and Botulf won.  An old friend of theirs, Rohesia Grimoult, had offered to carry their child, as long as she could continue to be included in his life.  This seemed eminently practical to the learned couple, and they easily agreed.<br/><br/>Until he went off to the Junior Wizarding Academy, Cairon spent almost his entire life on the Isle of Wight.  His parents, being the deeply studious men they are, have not devoted as much time as they could or should have in his upbringing, so he learned early to be independent-minded.  While he's not particularly resentful of this hands-off upbringing at this point in his life, he's aware of it and how it has affected his personality.  He's spent more than a fair amount of time with Rohesia when the lack of attention from his fathers became too much to deal with.  She's discussed their parental faults with them, but after multiple attempts, she's come to the conclusion that they simply aren't going to change.<br/><br/>Cai has grown up to become a brilliant wizard, not surprising with the intellects of his parents.  This has also made him somewhat older than his years as far as awareness of himself.  He knows, for instance, that he's suffered from a lack of attention from his fathers, and tries mightily not to let that influence his behavior any more than he can help it.  Having had to look after himself for many aspects of his young life, he's carried a lot of responsibility, and that is a major reason why he often finds it hard to relax or unwind.  Hardly a nervous wreck, he still finds it frustrating when can't just let himself ease off the gas.<br/><br/>Recognizing his talents--charms, transfiguration, and his deep understanding of magic creatures--has given him something of an ego.  He constantly looks for ways to move himself up in the world--not monetarily, but in prestige.  How to go about it, however, is still a sticking point.  Being raised, in one form or another, by three very intelligent, talented, and driven older wizards has given him a distinct lack of value for the finer points of compassion.  Not that he's lacking it--but it doesn't tend to be his first instinct.<br/><br/>Romantically, Cai hasn't had a lot of luck.  His own intensity tends to only appeal to a specific kind of female, and he hasn't exactly met a lot of them.  None of his relationships have lasted long enough for his girlfriends to actual peel away the layers and get to the real Cai.  He may just be waiting, clueless, for the first woman to really show him the affection he's never had.<br/><br/><strong>Likes:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Magical Creatures</strong> -- Not as much as, say Newt Scamander, but he definitely feels an affinity to the critters of the wizarding world.</li><li><strong>The Mysterious</strong> -- A fascination for the amazing and magical keeps him eternally excited about being a wizard, and the many discoveries of the world around him.</li><li><strong>Meat</strong> -- Mutton, beef, pork...Cai is a dedicated carnivore.  He doesn't hate on vegetarians or some of their goals...but he couldn't do tofu the rest of his life.</li><li><strong>Seventies Music</strong> -- He digs funk, disco, and the early days of heavy metal.  Blame his dads, who could never get enough of The Jackson 5, Blue Oyster Cult, and Sister Sledge.</li></ul><br/><strong>Dislikes:</strong><br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li><strong>Cold weather</strong> – Yes, he's from The British Isles, but he'd love to live in some tropical paradise.</li><li><strong>Messes</strong> -- He's not quite obsessive-compulsive, but seeing disorder sets his nerves on end.</li><li><strong>Discrimination</strong> -- One way to get him out of his normally controlled mood is to let him witness prejudice of any kind in action.</li></ul><br/><strong>Family:<br/><br/></strong><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/01/1aa35602645ca2b20f1ac025c1234e57.jpg)</div>Father |  Botulf Hildebrandus | Historian/Bookshop Keeper | 63 | Half-blood<br/><br/>Botulf Clarembaut Hildebrandus is an imposing, husky man, whose spectacles and finely-kept beard give him a stereotypical wizardly air.  He runs a bookshop in Blackwater that has been in the family for many, many generations, where he does research into little-known events in the wizarding world.  More than a little taciturn and gruff, Botulf can come across as intense.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/0/0f/Whitman_mayo_1.jpg)</div>Father |  Ebo Adomako | Potions Inventor/Bookshop Keeper | 65 | Half-blood<br/><br/>Ebo's wizarding family emigrated from Ghana to England before he was born, and he grew up in London.  A well-proportioned man halfway through his sixties who developed prematurely grey hair by his late 20s, he is the more congenial and outgoing personality in the relationship.  He spends most of his time deep in research.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div class="floatleft">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/5/59/Arts-graphics-2008_1130065a.jpg)</div>Mother |  Rohesia Grimoult | Journalist | 56 | Half-blood<br/><br/>Serious, contemplative, and direct, Rohesia's personality is similar to Botulf's, which brought them together in school, and has been a freelance journalist almost since she graduated from Hogwarts.  She's a close friend of Botulf and Ebo--close enough that they chose her as the mother of Cairon.  Since his birth, she's stayed close enough to be an influence in his life.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><div align="center"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 12pt;">»<em>Academic

lady never tells her true age, does she?  For years, she's been a constant companion and one of the few affectionate members of his family.  The only pet he's ever had, he doesn't quite realize that, in many ways, she acts more like a dog than a cat.  He has wondered at times if she was the result of wizardly experimentation, or if her unique coloration is just genetic happenstance.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><br/><strong>Face-claim:</strong>Charlie Rowe<br/><br/><strong>O/O's:</strong>Here (https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=281021.msg13817294#msg13817294)<br/><br/><strong>Notes:</strong>Cai is something of a polyglot, and besides English, speaks French, Flemish, Spanish, and Italian.  He has a tendency to softly speak to himself when no one is around...a product of years of lacking anyone to effectively talk to.<br/><br/><strong>Connections:</strong><br/><br/>Addison Snow -- Friends for two years, initially connecting over their mutual love of critters.  They've been FWB for almost a year now.<br/>Grace Carter -- Ex girlfriend.  Cai knows he's not the most romantic guy, but he still can't quite figure out how he wasn't able to connect with such a sweet girl.<br/>Derek Darley -- Fellow Ravenclaw and something of a surrogate little brother.  Cai's taken him under his wing, for better or worse.  The better is his tutoring in charms, the worse...his relationship advice, which Cai isn't in any position to tutor another person on.<br/>
