Vancey/Caradoc
Name: Gawain Dearborn (His father decided to continue the tradition of naming children after Arthurian Legends)
Gender: Male.
General Appearance: Tall and lanky, like his father. He has ear-length brown hair that falls in waves, similar to his mother’s. He inherited the famous Dearborn cheekbones, leaving his mother pleased with her son’s bone structure. Gawain, however, wishes that it were more masculine. He has yet to discover a glamour to enhance his masculinity (he plans to invent one as a side project). Thankfully, he is capable of growing a nice beard, an ability he takes pride in. His father introduced him to kickboxing at a young age and, as a result, he has rather developed muscles, aiding him in gripping the broom during intense Quidditch matches (important, seeing as he’s a seeker for Ravenclaw).
Personality: Gawain is a reserved boy, inheriting his father’s more contemplative, shuttered personality. He is polite, and well liked by his professors, being first in every class apart from Herbology (he never understood the importance of learning about the properties of herbs). He has a charming smile, as his mother often reminds him, but he shows it rarely, opting for a more serious demeanour. Nevertheless, the ladies are enchanted by him, attracted to his seemingly mysterious air.
Special Talents: His intelligence is beyond any reproach. When he believes something is important enough for him to provide his opinion, he is extremely eloquent.
Who they like better: He loves his parents equally.
Who they take after more: Caradoc.
Personal Head canon: Nobody expected Gawain Dearborn to try out, let alone be accepted, onto Ravenclaw’s Quidditch team. The moment he stepped foot onto the pitch, whispers started floating around the stand. “Who is that?” “Gawain?” “I swear to Merlin I’ve never seen him leave the library!” As it is his nature to excel in nearly everything he attempts (again, the exception being Herbology), once he pushed off the ground and caught the snitch within the first five minutes of the trial, there was no doubt that he’d be named Seeker. He celebrated his success quietly, immediately Owling his parents to share the news. While he knew his mother would be excited, having always been a fan of Quidditch, he worried his father wouldn’t be as approving. Despite his father’s disinterest in the sport, he congratulated his son profusely, promising he would be there for every one of his Quidditch matches. Sure enough, since Gawain’s first match, father and son have bonded over the sport.
