Name: Michael Odemayo
Age: 11
Gender: Male
House: Slytherin
Year: First Year
Physical Description: Michael is a young 11 year old Anglo-African boy with features that align with his family - who are members of an old Pureblood family from the Nigerian Wizarding community. His hair - when untied - makes up a thick, wild dark-brown afro that sags to multiple sides haphazardly, though he usually wears it tied back into a man-bun. His forehead is a relatively normal size, though his eyes are quite large and hold a deep, knowing brown to them - often times people find themselves staring at him, attempting to discern what Michael 'knows' about them just due to the constant glint in his eye. His nose is flat upon his face, but is neither too big nor small for his face, sitting perfectly between his cheekbones - which are large and round, yet still prominent upon his face. Beneath the aforementioned nose is a set of thick, often pursed lips that - long with Michael's eyes - often seem deep in thought. His skin is relatively clear, though some sprouting spots show the telltale signs of incoming puberty.
Personality:Michael is a relatively kind young boy who hails from London - though his family are stooped in the late Magical History of Nigeria and are themselves a part of a group of Pureblood families akin in respect to the 'Sacred Twenty-Eight' of Britain. He is relatively quiet and it is often figured - by those who take stock in his quiet disposition - that he is deep in thought, when a lot of the time he is merely listening and remaining quiet to further his own interests. However, Michael's own interests are often pushed down or joined with those of his friends, as his own loyalty leads him to side with his friends over all else - sometimes including his own, strict-to-almost-oppressing father. Despite this, Michael is a very excitable boy when surrounded by his friends, and his decent ability and the prestige of his family have certainly made him 'someone to watch' in Slytherin house.
Brief History: Michael's history is nothing special. Growing up within the Magical areas of London, being the son of a pair of Pureblood Wizards - one hailing from a Nigerian family, where he gets his namesake and the other hailing from a Kenyan family - Michael was automatically afforded some of the great respects that Purebloods held. His father spent time working in the Ministry of Magic alongside some of the British Aurors, where his ability to cast spells without a wand - a talent taught and nurtured at Uagadou - came to great effect in tracking down some of the small illegal problems within the state. Deciding to remain in Britain - as the pay was only going to get better and better the more his father worked, along with the influence of his family - Michael's father decided that his son would not attend Uagadou but instead would find his place within Hogwarts, much to the chagrin of some of the other members of the family, who believed that Uagadou was the only School for the Odemayo bloodline.
Michael was quickly sorted into Slytherin when he arrived at Hogwarts, his ambitions to be as good as his Father and to make his Father proud driving him towards the ambitious table of Salazar. He is particularly skilled at transfiguration, but is not half bad at Defense Against the Dark Arts and Potions either, only lacking ability in Charms.
