"You don't know what I'm capable of, you don't know what I've done!"



GENERAL APPEARANCE:

Kalin is a rather innocent looking young boy, and there are a multitude of traits that contribute to this image. He is definitely on the short side, standing at a mere 5’4”, so he isn’t much of an intimidation. He is not at all muscular, in fact he’s a bit of a weakling. This makes it incredibly hard for him to stand up for himself or get others to take him seriously.

Kalin has a bit of a baby face, with slightly pudgy cheeks that makes it easy for him to pout when he is irritated. His eyes are incredibly round and bright blue in color, something that sets him apart from the rest of his family. However, something that all Elphicks have, which Kalin is no exception to, is incredibly dark brown hair. Kalin’s is kept relatively long, but not at all hippie length. He likes to keep it a little shaggier, though it is stick straight. He often spends a lot of time styling his hair into shape, since he likes to make sure that he is always looking his best.

Along those lines, Kalin is always very fashion forward when it comes to his style. Of course he loves to don his Hufflepuff school robes, since he is full of house pride, but even when he is not required to wear them he puts a lot of effort into making himself look good, whether it be in jeans and a t-shirt or a fancy tux for a special occasion. Kalin can have a bit of a flamboyant style at times but no matter what he is wearing it is always a real reflection of him – he has little to hide.

MOST LIKED FEATURE: His eyes – he gets a lot of compliments on them and he rather enjoys the color.
MOST HATED FEATURE: His height (or lack of) – he’s encountered many a problem with being unable to see in a crowd. He’s also picked on quite a lot due to his lack of size, among other things.
HERITAGE: English
ETHNICITY: Caucasian


"The mind is not a book, to be opened at will and examined at leisure."



GENERAL PERSONALITY:

friendly – Kalin is a very outgoing person and will most likely always be the one to extend a hand of friendship to another. He has a very bubbly personality that many people find somewhat addictive. He is usually a very happy person, and even when he is slightly upset he tries his best to keep a smile on his face. He loves to make new friends and acquaintances and has very many close relationships with people. As long as he can find people that accept him to surround himself with he lives a pretty happy life.

trusting – Because of his eagerness to make friends, Kalin can sometimes be a little too quick to trust people. He always tries to see the best in people and so he firmly believes that everyone has an innate sense of good inside them, even if they don’t necessarily show it. He isn’t one to discriminate against Slytherins or anyone else considered to be a bad group of people until he has had personal experience with them. He will always give even meaner people second and third chances to improve themselves, and he is constantly trying to bring out the best in people, even if they may not want to at first.

sensitive – His trusting nature isn’t always a good thing though – there are many people who he will attempt to get close to who will refuse his extend in friendship and will make some sort of derogatory comment towards him. Though he is rather used to negative slurs being shouted or muttered at him, he is still very much affected by them. They do not shock him like they used to, but he still doesn’t get over the fact that people actually hate him because of who he is. It’s something that really bothers him inside, but externally he deals with it as best he can.

stubborn – Kalin can be rather stubborn when it comes to it. He doesn’t like taking no for an answer, especially when he knows that what he wants is for the better. He can be adamant and demanding about things, whether joking with someone or being completely serious. He has a very infamous pout that can usually be seen when he is disappointed about the outcome of something or another, so chances are if you’ve known him a while, you know what that looks like.

reserved – Although Kalin is usually bright and bubbly, he does have his moments where he can be very reserved. If he is in a place where he feels uncomfortable or where he has been known to be teased before, he will sort of shrink into the shadows and try to blend in as much as possible. He does not like to attract attention to himself when he fears it will end badly, and so in times like that he much prefers to keep to himself rather than be expressive.

loyal – When Kalin is good friends with someone, he will always be supportive of them no matter what. He is always willing to lend an ear or give advice when needed, and he would never betray someone’s trust if they confided in him, because he knows how important it is to have friends you can trust. He is very committed to the people that he loves, just so long as they show him the same sort of support in return. Though he has never been in a romantic relationship, he would be just the same should he find someone to spend time with, and would never dream of going back on a commitment ot hurting someone he cared about.

GENERAL HISTORY: Kalin was born the fourth and final child to Edward and Julienne Elphick. Edward was a well-known full-blooded wizard who worked at the Ministry of Magic in an office of rather high authority while Julienne was a half-blooded witch who was a Healer at St. Mungo’s. It was no secret that the Elphicks were quite well off, but even though they had much money and respect from their wizarding community, they were careful to keep their children under a watchful eye and protect them from the outside view. The first children born to the couple were twins whom they called Harrison Caine and Shannon Liese. The twins grew up rather quickly, and though they seemed very different from each other right off the bat, they were still very close and very dear to their parents’ hearts. Being such a handful, it was not until the twins were six years old that the couple welcomed their third child, Madison Quinn, another beautiful daughter. Though Shannon was quite taken with her new little sister, fondling her and helping out with her as best she could, Harrison took little interest in the new baby, in fact rather annoyed that his twin’s main focus was no longer to keep himself entertained, but to focus on Madison. Waiting only two years after their second daughter’s birth, Edward and Julienne welcomed Kalin Trey, their second son and fourth child, and with his birth they knew their family was balanced and complete.

Much like she had with the first baby, Shannon, who was now eight, put most of her time and energy into her newest little brother, making sure he was the happiest baby he could be. Only two years old at the time, Madison became a little miffed at the fact that her sister no longer seemed to care for her as much as she had in the past, so she became more attached to her older brother. Harrison was still annoyed by his twin’s assumed betrayal, but he distracted himself by taking Madison under his wing, teaching her many things that he had learned from his father. Harrison and Madison gained the sort of camaraderie that siblings should form, while Shannon continued to bond with young Kalin. The children’s parents were not often around, since they were busy at work, so the children usually had a nanny to look after them, though they were more than capable of entertaining themselves.

In this way they all grew – Shannon and Kalin growing to be happy and carefree while Harrison and Madison tended to be a little more sullen and reserved. They were all taught by their parents that soon, the eldest two would be off to Hogwarts, and that Madison and Kalin would follow them when they were old enough. Most of them started to discover their magical abilities, though not in the order one would expect. Harrison, being the eldest and the strongest, did show the first sign of his abilities at eight years old, but not long after that, Kalin was the next to follow, at a mere age of one and a half. The parents were very confused by this, but they assumed that their children were all different and would come into their abilities when they were ready. When Madison was four, she too showed off her powers, which left only Shannon who had fallen behind. The twins’ eleventh birthday came and went, and only Harrison had received his letter invitation to Hogwarts. It was then that Edward and Julienne were finally forced to admit that their daughter was a Squib.

Harrison was rather upset when he had to go to Hogwarts alone, without Shannon by his side, but the whole ordeal seemed to have little effect on Shannon’s happiness. She was still the kind, loving girl she’d grown up to be, and Kalin was happy that he got to spend even more time with his sister. The two were very close and continued to bond when Madison too went off to Hogwarts and left them alone together. She was sorted into Ravenclaw, unlike her older brother who had gone to Slytherin. Two years later, it was finally Kalin’s turn to go to Hogwarts, and while he was sad to leave his older sister behind, he was excited to finally discover all of the wonders that Hogwarts would have to offer him.

On the train to Hogwarts Kalin made many friends, or at least acquaintances. He had always been a friendly kid, and now that he was surrounded by new potential friends he was more than happy to extend a hand of friendship to anyone he could. Of course, some were less responsive to him than others, but Kalin didn’t let that get to him. When he got to Hogwarts, he was immediately sorted into Hufflepuff, which rather excited him since yellow had always been one of his favorite colors. He fell right into place with his new house and got comfortable with his new school situation as he explored and learned more about the magical castle.

He loved his school with all his heart – it was one of his favorite places to be – but of course Kalin was always happy to return home and describe his Hogwarts adventures to his sister, who had never gotten the chance to experience them for herself. Kalin could tell Shannon everything, the good and the bad, and she would always listen with an open heart and mind. During his second year, he shared with Shannon something that had been bothering him since he set foot in the school, something that slightly scared him in a way. He’d heard a lot from his older brother about girls and dating, and had seen his brother being intimate with many girls, and yet Kalin had never understood these urges. Granted, he was only twelve, but even so there were males around him that were already showing an attraction to girls, and yet none of that had ever affected him. He could never see girls as more than good friends, and for a while he didn’t think much of it, but when he started to find certain boys in the school rather cute, it was then that he started to be concerned.

Shannon reassured him that it didn’t mean anything if he were gay, that she would still love him and that it was completely normal for him to have feelings. Though Kalin was still a little scared, his sister’s words comforted him, and he began to grow more comfortable with himself as a person. He was still the happy kid he had always been, and he found that his friends didn’t care about his new self-discovery either, and so he was incredibly relieved to find that life could go on as normally as it ever was for Kalin. He applied himself to his studies, since he was always incredibly excited to learn. He rarely got into any trouble, since he hated being reprimanded in any way – just knowing that he had disappointed someone was the worst feeling to him. He kept up his good grades and his good behavior as best as he could, and it seemed like nothing could really get him down.

That is, until the middle of his third year, just before Kalin left school for winter break. He received word via his father that Shannon had been in an accident – she had been driving in her car during a rather heavy snowstorm when her car lost traction and spun out into the path of an oncoming vehicle. She had been killed instantly. Kalin was devastated when he heard this news, his sister having been his closest friend and confidant for his entire life. Christmas that year was one of the saddest holidays Kalin had ever experienced – he didn’t know how he would get by without his sister to comfort him in the way only she knew how to do. Kalin tried his best to be happy in the months after that, since he knew his sister would never have wanted him to be so upset, but it was definitely the hardest thing he had ever been through.

As a method of coping, Kalin threw himself even deeper into school, earning top marks and being a prime student. The summer before his fifth year, he was assigned a shiny prefect’s badge which he was proud to have earned, though he had to admit, it made him a bit nervous. He was already the target of a lot of negative attention ever since his orientation had become clearer. He wasn’t ashamed of who he was, but sometimes the bullying he experienced was enough to keep him quiet, trying to stay hidden as best he could in order to avoid being picked on. Now with his new prefect’s duties, he is even more concerned that his own fear of bullies will prevent him from doing his job properly, but he tries to be the best prefect he can be, as well as keeping himself on top of his schoolwork.

Since the death of his older sister, Kalin felt a bit of a disconnect from his family. His parents and other siblings didn’t look on his sexual orientation as kindly as Shannon had, and most of the time they just tried to ignore Kalin’s more flamboyant actions. He quickly learned to keep control of himself when he was around them, but it still hurt him that he felt he couldn’t be himself with his own family, the people who were supposed to love him the most. Hogwarts became his new escape, and he dreaded going home more than he ever had before. He feels the most at home at the castle, and that is how he likes it.
