I may seem slightly sheltered, happy-go-lucky, and rather dim but I'm really well except for the dim part that's just how I am. I'm not super smart, but I have my strengths and I know what I'm good at and what I want to do with my life which is a lot more than some people. I also like to stick up for people, I can't stand bullies and firmly believe that ever person deserves a fighting chance.
My background story is Not that long. I was born somewhere in here (well not here here but in this country) and then returned back to California in the USA to be raised there. I went to school and I had friends and parents who loved me and an older brother who was everything I wanted. Of course I had regular problems, bad grades, a lot of rules...actually I had a loooot of rules that I never really thought of. Normal ones like be in bed by eight, always do my homework or no dessert, no flying in public areas, etc. And then the weird ones like don't take what Wyatt says to heart, never be alone with anyone for more than an hour, I could never go to friends house or have friends over, I had to sneak play time with Wyatt! It was weird but they said that they did it out of love so I didn't think much about. But I had my brother so all was well, and then he left. He left me! Even though he said he didn't mean to he did! He just left and didn't write or anything! I was so mad I didn't talk to him for almost a week before I caved and wrote him first. When he explained everything I was still a bit mad at him but I was madder at my parents. So to try and get back in my good graces they decided to take a trip out to the country for a picnic and then to the beach, I kinda wanted to go but I kinda didn't either. But before I knew it we were hit from the sides and our car tossed off a bridge. I lost consciousness when we hit the water and didn't regain it until I was in the hospital with like a bajillion tubes stuck inside me. And Wyatt! He was there, he came back for me! And if you ask he'll lie and say he wasn't crying but he was, I saw! So Mama and Dad died and they tried to leave me with grandma instead of Wyatt but I protested. I didn't want to live in smelly old Wyoming, I wanted to go with my brother! So he did...something and now I get to live with him! He asked where because he didn't want to stay in California so I chose here since this was like my birthplace. So I thought we should be reborn here as well. It's been sort of weird living here, the people are really weird and different but also really nice. I met my first friend last year, Thane, he's Scottish and kind of mean but also kind of nice. He's just difficult to explain. But he's also a wizard like me so we both were gonna go to Hogwarts! When we got there I got sorted into Gryffindor (it's the one with the really bright colors and a lion) while he got sorted into Slytherin (the ones that have the nice colors and a big snake). I had to drag him out his room the first month of classes because he was being lazy and people would stare at us like we were being weird or something. Apparently not a lot of Gryffindors are friends with Slytherins which is really stupid because they're people too and plus I didn't want to give up the friendship I baked worked really hard for! Anyway, I learned that just before the holidays his guardian, his nephew, died in a car accident and that the ministry was going to send him back to the orphanage. I felt really bad for him so I invited him to come to my place for the holidays. It took a lot of begging and pleading but eventually he accepted. He may not have acted like it but I know he had fun with me and Wyatt, which was why I asked (begged and pleaded more) with my brother to adopt him to keep him from going back to the orphanage. I thought the both of them were gonna kill each other when I said so but I explained everything (with more begging, pleading, baking, and just a little bit of crying) and they both grudgingly agreed. Thane's sort of like my honorary brother now and it's going to be awesome! My brother has even found someone! His name's Milo and I really can't wait to meet him. 2028~ Milo's really cool and he and my brother are getting married! I'm so happy for him, but I've also been a bit..annoyed at Thane lately. I don't know why. I really don't want to be but something's changed between us and I don't know what and he won't tell me. 2029~ Wyatt got married to Milo in secret and even though I said I was cool with it I'm still sort of hurt that he didn't think to include me. I didn't even get to make him the wedding cake I had promised Milo, instead his Nan got to do it.And then they also adopted this really adorable little boy named Dris who calls Thane "Thaney" and even though he acts like the kid is an annoying pest I can see that he's wormed into his brittle heart. Speaking of hearts, I decided to give him a shot at my own. We haven't done much or really anything or even told anyone but I have this suspicion that my brother and his husband already know. 2031~ Wyatt and Milo adopted another baby! Well, toddler since she's three but still! And she's soooooooo cute! And she gives the best hugs and she's sweet and adorable. Even Thane's said so! He looked constipated afterwards but still.
2033~ Things have been really great!! I got a job as a person chef to James and Lyre of all people which is cool plus I have this owl order business and I work part-time with this caterer so I'm always sorta busy but I love every moment of it! However, things with Thane haven't been so great. He doesn't seem to want to go that extra step and I agree that we have all the time in the world to tie the knot and all but I at least want to know if he wants to! Following some family advice we've decided to split for a bit, quite literally in fact. Thane got offered a job to gather ingredients and while he's doing that I'll stay in our flat and try to see if things will work.
2035~ The start of the year wasn't a very pleasant one. Thane hadn't replied to my letters for months and I had to assume he had given up on our relationship which left me heartbroken. He randomly arrived at our flat sometime in the middle of August with trying to explain what had happened and I got angry and we started yelling and arguing before he could actually finally tell me the full story. When he had I felt so ashamed, especially because I had actually punched him, but he apologized as well and actually proposed! So now we're engaged and I'm trying to make things as quick and painless as possible, mainly for him. Which, didn't work out for too long considering that I maaayyy have convinced him to elope so we could adopt the absolute most adorable little boy named Brennie. Now we have a perfect little family and I couldn't be happier!

Hi, my name is Beathan Kentigern Labhrainn Findlay-Abrams
But I mostly go by Thane, please. Nothing else.
I'm a: Man
I'm 33 years old
Date of Birth: July 3rd, 2014
I work in International Magical Trading Standards Body
My dream job is: I want to be in the circus, or you know, supreme overlord of the universe.
My blood status is: Muggleborn
The house I was in: Slytherin.
I was in the class of 2032
I'm interested in Males
I'm currently with Kalin Findlay-Abram
I may seem I'm a jerk. I'm antisocial, anti-stupid, and just a bundle of sarcasm and cynicism. but I'm really Don't get me wrong I can be nice, it just happens to be a rarity. And to people I can actually stand. I also have a soft spot for animals and potty-trained kids with big eyes.
My background story is My parents died when I was young, then my brother died, and then I was in an orphanage. I got beat up and picked on a lot because I was smaller than the other boys and because I used bigger words that they've probably never heard of. So growing up in that kind of environment didn't really paint a pretty picture of humankind to my eyes if you catch my drift. A couple years ago my twenty-one year old nephew found out where I was being stashed and adopted me, which I know is kinda odd when you think about it but whatever. We got along ok, he stayed out of my space...actually that's a lie. He was always in my friggen space trying to be a family and be happy and junk. It was freaking annoying, so I stayed out of his space. I soon met this kid who was pretty much the exact opposite of me in personality; he was always happy, he saw the best in everyone (blech!), he even baked! Who does that anymore?! But he got to me, he wormed his way into my cold inner surface (the cookies kinda helped) and befriended me which I grudgingly accepted. A couple months later we were on the train to Hogwarts where I was sorted into Slytherin (huuuge surprise) and attempted to make my way to class. Honestly if it wasn't for Kalin always showing up and dragging me places I wouldn't have left my bedroom. It was just before the winter holidays that I got the bad news that my nephew had been driving along in London and got hit by a drunk driver and died on impact. I was literally alone in the world, a ward of the ministry which was about to send me right back to that hellhole of an orphanage that I thought I escaped. But just as I was packing up and steeling myself for going back my friend came up with a surprise; he wanted me to spend the holidays with him and his brother. Since it was either dealing with his damn holiday spirit or deal with the bastards back at the group home I chose the lesser of two evils. It was an alright holiday, I got all the sweets I could ask for courtesy of one hyperactive eleven year old and his brother was alright. He didn't ask too many questions or try to make me open up about my feelings (or whatever that stupid social worker told me to do). Anyway, around the new year they popped a huge question asking whether or not I'd like to be adopted into their little makeshift family. At first I was a bit stunned and then angry. I didn't want their stupid pity and I told them where they could shove it. The older brother got mad and looked ready to curse me out but Kalin stopped him. He just kept going on about how he didn't want to lose me and some s**t about how we could practically be brothers and going on and on with this spiel and I could actually see tears-tears!-in his stupid deep brown eyes of his...and I folded like a first timer at a poker game. It was stupid of me really, getting into a new family, forging new connections so quickly after what happened, but anything to make those stupid eyes of his stop! Recently the older one has started to see someone romantically which has Kalin all dizzy with happiness. I'm just happy the b*****d has time to spend with someone else and can't bother me all the time. 2028~ I guess I'm going to have to get used to that song bird staying with us since he and Wyatt got engaged. He's ok I suppose. Me and Kalin are sort of..out of sorts at the moment and I'm kinda afraid to fix it. I feel like he'd be better off not knowing. 2029~ So apparently Wyatt and Milo got married after me and Kalin left for school, so of course he was hurt and even worse (or better in other's opinion) they adopted a kid. Like an actual living breathing child and not some other owl. The actual ********. And now there's OWL's to friggen look forward to next year so that'll be fun. I guess the only good thing that really happened was that me and Kalin get to fool around a little...if you get my French. 2031~Jesus effing Christ, it's like me and Kalin can't leave those two alone for a few seconds without them procreating. We got an owl about them adopting another midget, a girl this time, and sent us pictures and told us all her likes and whatnot (I honestly could not understand how Wyatt didn't impregnate Milo if they managed to get a child with the same freaky obsession with owls) but she's not bad. A bit clingy and waaayy too...ugh.
2033~ The happily ever after I'd been promised after graduation didn't last as long as I wanted since Kalin kept harping on me about commitment. It wasn't that I didn't want to settle down with the big idiot, I just didn't want to do it right that second. It's like he wants to live his brother's life or something; get married, have kids, blahblahblah. Thankfully I was offered a way out of the cycle of fights and sleepless nights by a job opening up where I'll travel around the globe gathering potion ingredients for apothecaries and potion masters. Kalin figures if we can make it through this and still care for one another he'll be satisfied to wait, I figure it'll give me some time away from those damn puppy eyes before I actually cave.
2034~ So this year sort of majorly sucked. While I was off traveling I realized a bit too late that I was making sort of a mistake by just off and leaving Kalin like that and was going to go back when a freak accident happened: I fell off a ******** mountain. Who the ******** does that, me apparently. It took me a few months to recover since I was found by muggles and I ended up losing my right eye and my wand. When I got back home, me and Kalin got into a huge fight since he had thought I left him but when I finally got to explain (after getting clocked I should mention) we made up and I finally got my act together and proposed
2035~ I was expecting a long haul of wedding planning and enough wedding talk to bore me into the next millennium but Kalin unsurprisingly flipped the script. He took me to the orphanage and basically barraged me with cuteness in the form of a little boy named Brendan and then convinced me to elope with him so that we could formally adopt said barrage. I agreed only if I wasn't the one to tell the family.
I enjoy watching geeky shows and movies. I like to read and learn new things, science fiction, potions experimentation, Kalin's cooking
I despise Stupid people, death, mushrooms, personal questions, large social scenes.
Strengths: My intelligence and my resilience I suppose.
Weaknesses: My bad attitude and lack of faith or trust in other humans
My wand is a 11⅓ in. Beech wood with a Dragon-heartstring core of a Peruvian Vipertooth.
My pet is nonexistent. I'm considering an owl though since Chet is getting on in years. And trying to keep my sanity around this puppy talk.

xxx𝒞𝒽𝒾𝓁𝒹𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx Brendan was dropped off at the orphanage when he was just under a year old when his mother passed away due to illness. His father, an important businessman didn't have the ability to care for his son, and so after packing a suitcase and writing a letter, he left his only child to be protected by the owners of the orphanage. For two months thereafter, Brendan spent time staring out the window in hopes to see his parents again. After that didn't work, he started dreaming about a new family that he might join somewhere, and a year later he'd all but forgotten about his former family in favor of his own dreams. He hid behind the other kids and learned his way around the orphanage. Of course, some people picked on him and used him so they wouldn't get in trouble, but luckily his own silly innocence kept him from being in trouble. It was around then that he met Kalin, who quickly fell in love. Brennie helped him with snacks and treats, wiggling his way into the man's heart. After some convincing, Kalin got his husband to agree to adopt the blonde, and they came and took him home.
After being formally adopted, Brennie fell in love with his little family. He had Kalin, a chef and a general darling, and he had Thane, who taught him science tricks and introduced Brennie to all manner of cool old TV shows and movies. He also met his rather... extensive family, earning a best friend in his cousin, Lia. The duo began to do everything together, including taking a multitude of dance lessons together. They were also in the same class at school, and they quickly agreed to be best friends for ever and ever.
Brennie fell in love with photography, which later led to his being kidnapped by Rui Owens. He was lured away, then held captive at her home. It could've been worse, as he wasn't bound or anything, just locked in a room for days on end. Finally, a girl named Sara King came home from school, freeing Brennie, alerting the aurors, and rescuing both Brennie and another guy, called Mirzam. Rui got accidentally got killed in the process, and Brennie's only injuries were a split lip and a broken leg. Luckily, they were almost immediately rescued by the Aurors, and Kalin and Thane were at the hospital the same time he got there. It didn't take too long to recover, but he couldn't dance for a while.
Shortly thereafter, the Findlay-Abrams family adopted again, this time a lovely young girl named Nasim. Her mother had become sickly and begged Thane to protect her daughter, so Thane agreed. Once Nasim's mum passed, the girl was fully adopted into the family. She didn't like it much, but Brennie was absolutely delighted to be an older brother. He loved having someone to watch over and protect. A few years later saw the family much better bonded, which delighted Brennie to no end. He also got his Hogwarts letter at long last, thrilling him to know he was well and truly a wizard, just like his dad and papa. xxx𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓈xxx Brennie started off strong, having a great first year. He played quidditch as a reserve seeker, but ended up playing two games start-to-end. Not only that, but he won one! Luckily Laili was super excited by the win. He also joined music club, theater, and astronomy club, where he made lots of friends. The only problem he encountered was just how badly he missed his family. Luckily, though, several members were also at school, so it wasn't quite as lonely.
xxx𝒮𝒸𝒽𝑜𝑜𝓁 𝒴𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓈xxx
The summer following his first year, Brennie was taken to the dentist, then the orthodontist... where he was x-rayed a bunch and given braces. As the years went by, Brennie made friends and became more confident. He joined drama club along with quidditch, then music and yoga once it was made. He also made friends with his cousin, Dris' wife's brother, who was happily genderfluid. Doing some research (and soul searching), Brennie decided he figured out why he never quite felt comfortable saying he was a boy, and why he wasn't necessarily happy with the choice to remain such. Brennie came out to family first, identifying now as nonbinary with a preference not only to be known as they/them, but to go by Brennie, rather than Brendan. Luckily, his family (between all the spectrums of LGBTQ+) was very accepting, and proud to call them correctly. Going back to school, Brennie became the head of Drama club, which was a title they wore proudly. They also returned as seeker for the house team, since Lia was needed as a chaser. Luckily, the team ended up with two decent seasons under Bethany, and NEWTs weren't too difficult (given how many hours they'd poured over notes and books), and graduation was just a step ahead.
xxx𝒜𝒹𝓊𝓁𝓉𝒽𝑜𝑜𝒹xxx Once graduated, Brennie went right to St. Mungo's to interview and land their dream job. Perfect. Now they could help people all the time. Not only that, but they volunteered as a model to help Chanda with their non-gendered clothing line, which Brennie was very excited to do (who didn't want to be a model AND help friends?). Brennie worked hard at St. Mungo's, making friends with all the other training healers, as well as some of the full healers. Putting their nose to the grindstone, Brennie earned Full Healer after the long eight years.

CHILDHOODFaraz and Zuny Safi had moved to the UK many years prior to their daughter's birth mainly due to a job offer for Zuny to work in the trades department of the Ministry, but had quickly fell in love with the city they inhabited as well as their respective jobs. Faraz quickly garnered a job at St. Mungoes in it's disease ward. Nasim came at a time when they had both nearly given up on ever having a child having both gone through rigorous testing and homeopathic healing but nothing seemed to take. Just when they had reached their mid thirties did a miracle happen and a daughter was born in the bloom of summer. The small family lived happily for a short time until Faraz contracted an unknown disease from one of his patients who had recently traveled abroad. They didn't quarantine him in time and he shortly died from its complications. Zuny grieved her husband and the fact that he wouldn't see his child grow but focused all her energy and attention onto her daughter to ensure she grew up loved and happy. This went on for many years until another tragedy struck. Upon crosschecking some potions that had just recently been brought to the ministry to be traded, a faulty potion spilled on her and instantly seeped into her skin. She was rushed to the hospital and though it seemed as though nothing had happened they still kept her for observation. They found later that the potion was slowly killing her from the inside, reminiscent of a cancer, and since the potion that caused it had been faulty there was little they could do to potentially stop the disease. Though she had savings, she didn't have nearly enough to pay a potions master to essentially work from scratch to save her. Zuny knew her time was limited and lamented that she would also not see her child grow up but refused to have her sent back to Pakistan to her ailing parents or to an orphanage. She spoke with Thane Findlay-Abrams, a coworker and close friend of hers and talked him and his husband into adopting Nasim and raising her in her stead. Nasim knows that her mother is dying and while she likes Thane and Kalin, she still very much misses her old life. It was a long road to becoming a blended family but by the end of it, she was thriving in her new environment.
SCHOOL YEARS
Nasim was sorted into Hufflepuff alongside her older brother and cousin and was pretty pleased by this. She made friends from all years and houses joining the yoga and art clubs. Nothing really stands out to her throughout the years other than making prefect/head girl and becoming captain of the art club. And perhaps playing third fiddle to whatever courting display Billie and As decided on. But thankfully that was few and far between.
POST GRADUATIONDuring her school years, Nasim decided that she wanted to do art as her career specifically sci-fi and related comic books with female main protagonists. However, money was a current issue not an in-the-future one, so after discussing it with her cousin she applied to Sugarplums' as an associate. This was great for her since it got her out her bedroom when artistic blocks happened and she was surrounded by literal pounds of sugar. It was a win/win in her books.
