History:
Simon was the child that should have never been for more than a few reasons. His parents were not part of the major line of the Carrow family and before his birth, one or both of his parents had not thought themselves capable of having children. When he turned out to be a squib, well. They took it as a sign. Euphemia tried to give her son what she could, having married into the Carrow family, but there was no space for mercy in their family. Not with what was coming.
Simon learned as a child that silence was golden. As long as he was quiet and didn't make a fuss, people tended to not notice him or forget he was there. Then he could just take what he wanted. He picked up a variety of skills as he got older, making sure to be ever silent. He did try to run away more than a few times, but somehow he always ended up back at home. Not that anyone ever realized he was gone.
It was only because of his name that he was able to get a job in the Ministry in the first place and it was just a job that allowed him to exist as he always had. He did menial work, took care of things in the background, and was allowed to be. But being in the Ministry, he began to realize just how very much he was ignored. The things he heard...
And he wasn't the only one to realize the benefits of his position. Around 2002, he was approached by Alic, who had caught him by surprise. He wasn't used to anyone noticing him, but here was Alic. Alic didn't just notice him, it felt like he was finally truly being seen. Alic talked to him like an actual person and began to slowly but surely win him over. Alic began to help Simon in ways he hadn't expected or thought of, so when Alic began to ask for favors, favors that only required him to listen and to use the ignorance of others to their advantage, he was more than happy to help...
Personality:
Simon's personality is a complex tapestry woven from the threads of neglect, the need for stealth, and a deeply ingrained sense of self-preservation. Growing up as a squib in a family that valued magical prowess above all else left Simon feeling perpetually invisible, a trait that, over time, he learned to use to his advantage. Silence became his refuge, the stillness of being unnoticed his sanctuary. He developed an acute awareness of his surroundings, often hearing secrets not meant for his ears and observing actions that others thought were concealed by the shadows. Simon's life of quiet observation has honed his ability to read a room, to understand the unspoken dynamics at play, and to anticipate the needs and moves of those around him without drawing attention to himself.
Despite his innate ability to blend into the background, Simon possesses a rich inner life that is rarely glimpsed by others. He is introspective, often lost in thought, mulling over the intricacies of his existence and the society that deems him less for his lack of magic. This internal dialogue has made him both wise and wary, traits that have helped him survive in a world that doesn't value him. Simon's interactions are cautious, and measured, and he reveals very little of himself, guarding his emotions closely. Yet, beneath this guarded exterior lies a well of untapped potential and a yearning for connection and recognition that Alic has begun to stir. Simon's allegiance to Alic reveals a loyalty that, once earned, is unshakeable. It speaks to a depth of character and a capacity for change that promises to emerge as Simon steps out from the background and begins to shape his own destiny.
