Kane Luculentus

Backstory

I was a Ravenclaw, I always did well in my studies, I was, and am, really good at paying attention, I not only see, I observe. I was chosen to be in Ravenclaw by the sorting hat after some short consideration by the hat. I really enjoyed Defense Against the Dark Arts, I really liked it when Mad Eye Moody taught temporarily, he was a fun teacher. I least liked divination, I don't believe in predestination, not by a magical force anyway, I like to believe my future will be decided by me, and a string of events that was set into motion before I was born. Coincidence?! The universe is rarely that lazy. I was always good at potions, but potions never really sparked the wonder and appreciation I have for magic more than spells. I never told anyone whether I was muggle, pure, or half blood, I'd rather not let others decide my future. I remember when Voldemort raided Hogwarts, I was there at the time, I was a 5th year, and it brought me a guilty pleasure to take down so many Deatheaters, well one, but he looked pretty mean, I believe that's where my passion to become an Auror started. My greatest strength is my power of observation, which is probably what has made me such an asset to the Ministry, most people are able to see everything pertaining to a crime scene, however not all are able to observe. I would say my greatest weakness is my disrespect for authority, let me tell you, the relationship between me and my superiors are a mutual hate. I always dreamed of having a dangerous, really "fun" job, and I have to say, being an Auror is fulfilling. What most fascinates me about magic are spells, I have a friend in experimental magic at the ministry, an old friend, and he has always kept me in the loop about fascinating new spells he was working on. I believe we where put on this world to help others, if not, I would be using my abilities to rob banks, no one would catch me.If I am being completely honest with myself, I want to be the most known name in the ministry,I want people to want to give high fives to me in the hallways of the Ministry, however, at the moment everyone just calls me "the eccentric one". I have a pet Phoenix, Kane, I live alone, and I talk to him about my cases, sometimes I bring him into the office when I have am having a lot of trouble with a case. Kane is pretty feisty for his size, especially with new people. I'm not supposed to say, but my family is a prominent magical crime family in America, my parents moved here to get away from the noise. I don't visit my family very much, not just because of the crime, but because most of my cousins are very condescending, always making fun of my British upbringing, calling my soft. Only one of them constantly called me names, especially soft. Let me tell you, his bones must where been pretty soft, they must have been, personally, I would have taken getting thrown through a window better ;).
