Sheridan Meridian Wilde

Backstory

Sheridan was born at twelve o'clock noon on the middle day of the year to a Scottish Muggle mother and an Irish wizard father. His parents had purchased a 'fixer-upper' cottage in rural Ireland shortly before his birth, and his childhood was spent in this home that was gradually refurbished and expanded over the years. His mother was an archaeologist and his father a herbologist and artist, and they constantly brought their child on trips around the country in search of historic places and unusual fungi. Sheridan developed a keen interest in travel and exploration, especially of ruined buildings and ancient sites.

There were few neighbors around the Wilde cottage, and Sheridan was not particularly fond of his classmates at the Muggle school that he went to (they were interested in boring things like football and TV). His main companion is a gold-speckled cat that his father gave him for his tenth birthday, which he has named Hattusili.

Sheridan is skinny, and is tall for his age. His hair matches his surname; it is wild and unkempt, with long brown curls that almost reach his shoulders. He has muddy brown eyes and a naturally serious and brooding expression that can quickly turn to one of bright and easy laughter. Sheridan has a constant air of careful studious concentration, though whether he is actually deep in thought or just putting it on so as not to be disturbed is anyone's guess. He can be quiet, thoughtful and distracted if nothing interesting is going on around him, but he is quick to fully seize the moment, be it of levity, mischief, or danger. He has high hopes for the future, and is determined to follow through with his childhood dreams.
