He speaks in short sentences so his attention doesn’t drift, causing him to seem rude and unapproachable to most. He is secretly kind, but since he isn’t very good with talking, the opportunity hardly ever arises where he can show it.

CHARACTER HISTORY:
Jethro’s father Walden, a hotshot banker, courted and married the young Rebecca, a modestly talented woman who worked at a nearby shop. A month after their marriage, when she became pregnant, she told her husband the truth behind what he suspected she was hiding. She admitted she was a witch. Afraid one of his colleagues would discover this, he begged her to stop using magic entirely and to raise their child without magic. She hesitantly agreed.
For years, they were able to explain away his magical accidents, all the while Rebecca insisted that they should tell him the truth. Walden stiffly refused every request. However, one day when Jethro accidently stumbled upon his mother’s old textbooks from Hogwarts in the family library, she told him everything (much to his father’s chagrin). Just 3 years later, he got his letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
His years at Hogwarts so far were good, he excelled in all classes that required study or reading but struggled to harness his magic in terms of spellwork. He retained no permanent friends due to his loner nature and inability to carry conversations that were substantial. All relationships (friend or otherwise) he’d tried since primary school fizzled out because he didn’t find them interesting enough to carry on a conversation with where each sentence out of his mouth was more than a few words. Jethro spends most of his time at Hogwarts studying, doing homework, reading in the library, and occasionally practicing violin- avoiding spell casting as much as humanly possible because he’s insecure in his magical abilities.

ROLEPLAY SAMPLE:
Walking down Diagon Alley, Jethro begin to wonder what the point of this was. His father was at work, per usual, and too busy to come school shopping with him this year. That’s not so big a disappointment as his mom not being there, though. He was hoping they could talk, even if only for a while. Anyhow, he told himself. He needed to find a pet, he’d gone his entire life without one so far. But, I’ll be damned if I don’t get one now, he insisted. From the outside, he could see assorted owls and toads, looking too bored to bother with him. He supposed he must have missed the usual rush for school supplies. This is my last stop, he told himself, opening the shop door. Surely he could take the time to actually look around.
He takes his time strolling through the owls and toads, the occasional rat, but he found nothing worth giving a second glance. Looking up to the counter, he noticed the shopkeeper eyeing him suspiciously. Did he seem as though he’d steal something, he wondered, why would someone steal a pet?
“Cats?” he asks him.
He directs Jethro to the back, for which he nods in thanks before going to the cages. Jethro watches the young kittens, all playful and rambunctious and it makes him cringe. Cats are supposed to be the calm ones. Then, he comes across a hairless cat, the oldest feline of the entire bunch, curled up and watching him with narrowed eyes. He has black, taunt skin, and greyish-yellow eyes.
Jethro reaches his hand out, sticking his index finger in the cage to try to pet the cat’s head. The cat claws at his hand, making him flinch back in pain. After a few seconds of cradling his finger against his chest, the cat reaches its paw through the bars, beckoning him closer. Jethro puts his finger close to the cage and the cat licks it, then nudges his head against his finger. The skin is soft but a bizarre feeling beneath the pad of his finger.
Jethro looks over to the shopkeeper and barely manages to hold back a smile, “This one.”
