𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝 𓆟 𓆞 𓆝 𓆟𓆝
➤ Original Order of the Phoenix Member
➤ Fought in the 1st Wizarding War
➥ disappeared 6 months after the Order photograph was taken
➥ they never found his body
➥ presumably murdered by DEs or Voldemort himself
➤ His surname was used as a password required to listen to the Potterwatch Broadcasts during the 2nd war
➤ unlabelled queer / any pronouns
➤ Jamaican-Welsh [I've also seen people hc him as Native American which I like as well]
➤ Hetereochromia (Blue & dark brown)
➤ Muggle dad & mom, no siblings
➥ Normal family that focuses on quality time and studies
➥ Caradoc is very close with his father; they have a fun/laid back relationship; his dad is very proud of him and brags to other parents about how well his son is doing; his dad also loves Benjy and always asks when he's coming over again, almost demanding Benjy staying over more often; both Benjy and Doc's father love to gang up on Doc in a joking way, bonding over rage baiting/riling him up [sometimes his dad would randomly start to cackle out of nowhere after remembering a comment Benjy made about him]
➥ His mother is a very caring and protective woman, bringing warmth with her whenever she went; she owned a flower shop in which he helped out during summer holidays; she has a health condition which worries him and his father often, but she pushes through [this was also one of the reasons why they fled the UK]
➥ Both his parents left the UK when they deemed the situation to be too dangerous and tried to take Caradoc with them, but he was able to stay behind to join the Order and fight
➥ They never knew what happened to their son
➤ adjective dump: quiet, chill, creative/rich fantasy world, loyal, caring, calming nature, down to earth, level-headed, ambitious, strives for security, structured, judging, stubborn, aloof
➤ clear sense of who he is and what he stands for & what morals/goals he has [100% a goth guy]
➥ has the need to do the right thing always & won't hesitate to debate you
➤ Amazing memory and calls bullshit immediately
➤ resting bitch/bored face at all times even when he's having the time of his life
➤ Is able to take risks/make sacrifices, but only ones that are worth it and/or make sense to him
➥ is an oldie at heart; loves old books, movies, stories, etc.
➤ offbeat/dry sense of humor
➤ struggles with juggling work/hobbies/friends/family
➤ artsy & into astrology, philosophy, etc.
➤ collects buttons and old newspapers
➤ born in Wales but moved to Surrey [England] when he was 3 y/o
➤ rules-oriented; literally has to do everything step by step
➥ doesn't follow them blindly; they need to make sense to him in order to actually respect, follow them and remind others to do the same [understands why the rule exists & therefore respects it]
➤ friends: Emma, Emmeline, Hestia, Amelia, Edgar, Benjy, Remus, Dorcas, Mary, Abigail, Charity
➥childhood best friends with Mulciber; stopped being friends at the end of their 1st year due to Mulciber's association with Snape, Wilkes, Avery, etc.
➤ love interest: Benjy Fenwick.
➥ Caradoc has never loved anybody until he met Benjy. He didn't realise it was love and he couldn't pinpoint when his feelings turned romantic. Romance has never been a form of focus in his life and neither has his identity; on top of that, his parents would've had a hard time accepting a boyfriend over a girlfriend [even though they would have eventually warmed up to it]. Due to his indifference towards love, Doc is also incredibly oblivious towards Benjy's interest in him. Benjy could've put roses everywhere with a big sign saying "WILL YOU BE MY BOYFRIEND?" and yell "I love you, be mine." and Doc would still think that he's just overly friendly in a bro way.
➥ After realising his feelings and battling with his internalised homophobia, he finally decided to take his first real risk no matter the consequences. During a night out with Benjy and Emma, watching Benjy eyeing people and others eyeing him, he finally acted on his feelings, following him to the bathroom to confess away from other people and the music.
➥ Their relationship is pretty much "opposites attract", they both cancel each other out perfectly. Doc's need to make sure Benjy is alright skyrockets during this time and he's basically glued to his side, making sure Benjy has a shoulder to lean on and some extra protection at the same time.
➥ Caradoc never really got over Benjy's death. He never dated anybody after him, he keeps a picture of Benjy in every room of his apartment, a picture in his wallet, in a locket, on his desk at work. He still speaks to him as if he's still with him until his last breath.
➤ excellent at duelling and casting spells; teachers use him as a good example
➥ friendly rivalry with Dorcas; they both appreciate the other's skills and feel almost happy when they have to duel against each other infront of the class
➤ hides his sketchbook because it is full with drawings of Benjy
➤ steals Emmeline's eyeshadow
➤ needs glasses for reading (rectangular ones with a thin frame)
➤ good at managing money and time, he's basically like a manager to his friends
➤ only gives advice and shares his opinions when he took his time thinking about every angle and POV
➥doesn't want to give half-assed advice in fear of putting the person into deeper conflict
➤While needing his alone time and maybe not being the most enthusiastic outgoing person, he likes being in group settings, even as just a background character; he likes the community and the different kinds of people getting together
➤ joined the order after Benjy did to keep an eye on him/support him
➥ also to fight for his people and for what's right ofc, Benjy is just way too big of a concern for him
➤ Reason for his disappearance is due to werewolf attack, which led him to being turned into one as well & forced him into hiding (unregistered werewolf)
➥not many people knew of his turning or the fact that he is alive; his official status is "missing" though many presume him to be dead
➥one of those people who know is Remus, who approached Doc with a task/an old favour
➥Caradoc then agrees to watching over (obliviated) Mary during the wars and after
➥He moves in across from her and becomes her neighbor, making sure that no remaining DEs find her
➥they grow really close and share a real bond, growing old together
➤ Doc took over his mother's flower shop, Mary often times comes to hang/help out
