Catch The Snitch

Full Name: Theodoric Sage Delacroix, but "Theo" for short
Age:16
Birthdate: September 8
House: Hufflepuff
Year: 5
History (2-4 paragraphs or more):
Theo was born into a family of magical creature enthusiasts. His parents, Silas and Dahlia, met at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where they bonded over their love for magical creatures and herbology. They both pursued careers related to their passions after graduating, with Silas becoming a magical creature keeper and Dahlia opening her own apothecary.

Growing up, Theo was always surrounded by magical creatures and had a natural talent for working with them. He spent much of his free time in the family garden, helping his mother care for her plants and herbs. He also enjoyed studying and observing the creatures in their care.
When he received his letter to attend Hogwarts, Theo was excited to follow in his parents' footsteps and study magical creatures and herbology. He quickly excelled in those classes and became known for his ability to work with even the most difficult creatures. However, he struggled in some of the more theoretical classes, particularly divination.

Personality (1-2 paragraphs or more):

Odd. Quirky? Theo has a distinct personality among most of his classmates and tends to prefer the company of beasts or any nature over most people. Despite this, he doesn’t dislike people, he just understands that he is perceived as being a little strange due to his social awkwardness. Aside from his social struggles, he got a hunger to learn and grow as a person. Having grown up in a secluded home in the middle of the forest, he is very sheltered and hasn’t experienced much. Theo has a heart made of gold and looks for the best in people, even when others have a hard time finding the good. He is incredibly optimistic about life and values his caring nature as one of his best qualities.
