Denahi Spirit // 20 // Fifth Year // Horned Serpent // Pureblood

Philosophy of Magic

FC: Michael Hudson 

Denahi was four years old when his parents were killed by hunters and three when he was dragged into the world of glamour that was pureblood high society. He wasn’t really old enough to grasp everything that was happening but he knew that the decisions their parents had made, including getting married in the first place, were anything but selfish. Having Sitka around made the grieving process easier and he never really went without love. Despite all this, he grew to almost despise no-majs and certainly hate hunters. There was so much wrong with their world and he failed to see why any wizard or witch should want any part of it.  

As he grew he was given the totem of wisdom, a decision that confused him but he half heartedly embraced. He enjoyed his time at Ilvermorny for a few years until the summer before his younger brother Kenai was to go off for his first year at Ilvermorny. After his brother’s Totem ceremony, the young wizard went after the bear who’d ruined their fishing. The older two brothers went after him, desperate to keep him safe but in the process, Sitka lost his life, the most important support Denahi had was gone. In one fell swoop, he had to grow up.

Denahi tried very hard not to be mad at his younger brother but he couldn’t quite manage it. He loved Kenai, he really did but he was only human. Denahi was hurt, lost and alone while at the same time, having to be none of those things for a younger brother who didn’t seem to fully grasp the gravity of his actions. He didn’t want to blame Kenai for what happened but he did. He couldn’t help it. He wanted nothing to do with the pureblood world of magic but without their parents or older brother he needs to find a way to secure a future. The only problem is that he hates pretty much all the purebloods he meets, can he learn to grin and bear it for a brother he is growing to despise or will he give up?

Positive Traits:

Smart, Resourceful, Wise

Negative Traits:

Sarcastic, Bitter, Narrow-Minded

Connections:

Kenai Spirit: His younger brother. Their relationship was never the same after Sitka’s passing. Kenai suspects that Denahi blames him for what happened to Sitka, not realizing just how deep those resentments run.

Kenai Spirit // 16 // Fifth Year // Pukwudgie // Pureblood

Undecided  

FC: Forrest Goodluck

Kenai’s parents were purebloods, or so he was told, both getting by on technicality and neither having any real kind of social standing or power. His father’s mother warned him about seeking success in that world, but he didn’t listen and took his wife and family, diving headlong into the belly of the beast, lasting only a brief time before they were lost. His parents were both killed by hunters shortly after he was born, leaving him to be raised by his brother Sitka and to a lesser extent, his brother Denahi back with the grandmother in Alaska. Kenai had no memories of his mother and father but he missed them dearly while still holding onto a lot of optimism about his situation. He got along well with his brothers, working and playing hard as he got better at magic.

The summer before he went off to Ilvermorny for the first time he was supposed to get his totem, a tradition his wizarding community took part in. Eager to get to the ceremony, he failed to properly secure a basket of fish he and his brother had caught earlier that day. During the ceremony it was revealed that his totem was the bear of love and at the same time, a bear had gotten into the fish that was caught. Disappointed and frustrated by the results of the ceremony he ran after the bear, determined to kill it to get revenge. In the process, out on the ice, his life was in mortal peril and his brother Sitka sacrificed his life to save him. His brother died and so did the bear, leaving a small cub alone in the woods to fend for itself.

Kenai is plagued with a lot of guilt and a lot of resentments. He resents the bear that killed his brother and became his totem, he resents the hunters who killed his parents but most of all he resents himself. He resents the fact that for a man with the totem of love, he has so much hate. He knows that he’d kill a bear if he ever saw one again and he knows he’d do the same to a hunter. He keeps these feelings hidden beneath playfulness and mild aloofness but it is only a matter of time before they drive him to do something truly regrettable that he can never take back.

Bitter, Resentful, Stubborn

Denahi Spirit: His older brother. Their relationship was never the same after Sitka’s passing. Kenai suspects that Denahi blames him for what happened to Sitka, not realizing just how deep those resentments run.
