Personality : The boy is a walking contradiction. Ritsu is naturally quiet and only became exacerbated by childhood trauma caused by his mother. He prefers animals over people. He comes to his own decisions, a trait Joshua ecouraged in him. Sarcastic and can't help pointing out people's idiocy to them. Cannot take a bath without experiencing a panic attack and thus only takes showers. Dislikes the cold, unnecessary loud noises, people who don't listen to reason or think for themselves. People who are vindictive and cruel towards others don't rate high in his estimation, unless the treatment is earned. He is loyal but not blindly so. Sees things in shades of gray rather than black and white. Doesn't consider himself bad, but doesn't think of himself as good either. Has his own version of morals so that his views of 'right, wrong, and honor' might not be the norm for others.


Background : Has had deep rooted issues involving his magic as well as trust issues with his mother. Because of her though he got to meet a man (Joshua) who helped him overcome a little of his trust issues as well as taught him how to control his magic. He had been trying to control his magic since he disliked having accidents happen at home. The boy had been hiding whenever he did do magic. His tutor left him though and Ritsu was left alone until his letter came. With his letter came his mother's fury and her basically disowning him. With nowhere or no one to turn to, Ritsu went to his maternal grandparents.

After grandmother died and grandfather began to grow ill, Ritsu took out a room in Diagon Alley since he is of age. It would also be better because of the political climate.

Family Background : Aisling is a muggle born to a family of Irish Catholics but who had believed in the old ways and old tales. When she was a child she felt that magic was wrong and it only grew as she got older and delved more into Catholicism. She didn't know that Haruki was a wizard when she met then later married him and would have been left in ignorance had it not been for Ritsu showing accidental magic. She believed the boy to be possessed and tried to have him exorcised. That was when Haruki had to tell his wife what he was and she immediately wanted to be rid of him. As if to prove she was right he was killed by his own magic.

Haruki was of Japanese and Korean decent but his family were purebloods on both sides. They didn't have a problem with muggles and actually lived in the city with them. He and Aisling lived with his parents in Sapporo until Ritsu showed accidental magic. They'd been visiting Aisling's parents in Ireland when it happened. Haruki was in town with Aonghus and Brighid leaving Ritsu home alone with his mother.
