■ STUBBORN More than anything else, when asked for a word to describe Kenneth, his friends always seem to come up with stubborn (although most of them would use more colorful language). He tends to think of it as a good thing, proof that he sticks to his guns and can stand up to obstacles, but it's gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion.
■ METHODICAL Rather than try to change how stubborn he is, Kenneth's method of dealing involved simply thinking things through very slowly and very carefully before he ever made a decision on how he acts, what he does, or what he thinks. He can come across as a bit slow at times (and, alright, can be slow at times), but generally it's just because he's taking his time observing all the angles and considering all the options so that he can make the best decision.
■ THOUGHTFUL Kenneth will almost always put another person's needs before his own, even if that person is a complete stranger. He sacrifices everything for the people he cares about and will do just about anything to make a sad person smile. He goes out of his way to help others, doing whatever necessary to help.
■ TEMPERAMENTAL Seemingly at odds with Kenneth's slow take on most things is his temper; one of the reasons he's worked so hard to force himself to think things through is because he's found himself more than once caught in a situation where he blew his top over something and later found out he was wrong. For the most part, he's gotten better, but there are a few buttons people can push that'll get him hot under the collar quick, and he's almost guaranteed to blow when that happens.
■ PLAYFUL He's a very easy-going guy; he likes to party and have a good time. He's not without his limits, but for the most part, his idea of a good night involves a bonfire at the lake and pulling drunken pranks on his drunk friends. He's prone to teasing and making self-deprecating jokes, all in the name of a good time. Generally, his solution to any problem is to get a nice buzz going and make jokes about it until it doesn't seem so awful anymore. While this doesn't always work, it at least manages to make him feel better.
■ CHIVALROUS Kenneth was raised a good Southern boy by his mother, and he knows how to treat a lady. He holds doors open, pulls out chairs, and is generally there as a helping hand whenever any woman needs help. This generosity extends to men as well, but usually he'll want a favor in return, or at least a beer. But, his general attitude towards women is that, yeah, they're just as good as we are, but they're much prettier and much sweeter, so why not help them out? He doesn't look down on them in the slightest; he believes in taking care of them because he wants too, not because they need it.

CHILDHOOD Kenneth was the firstborn son of Joseph Holt, the only child from his first marriage to Mary Anne Holt. His father, originally from Britain, met Mary, a muggle, while in Tennessee on a holiday, and fell in love. Eventually, he moved to America and married her. Their household was incredibly open and filled with love and Southern charm, complete with fried home cooked meals and trips to the Grand Ole Opry.

SCHOOL YEARS Just before Kenneth went away to school at age seven (customary for students attending magical schools in America), his mother grew ill. She passed away during his first year at Pre-Wiz school. He was always grateful for this turn of events, seeing as he was quite disturbed by how his father described his mother appearing during her illness, which contributed to his deep-seated fear of growing deathly ill. In school, he was a gifted student, although at times he seemed a bit slow, as he had to take careful time to consider what he was learning to properly benefit from it. While he was at school, his father would return to Britain to be with his family rather than be alone. He met his second wife, Allison, during one of these visits. The pair fell in love and married quickly. Rather than being resentful of her father for moving on so quickly, Kenneth recognized it as a fear of being alone, a trait they shared. When Kenneth was 11, his younger half-brother Elliott was born. From then on, the family would spend their Summers in America to be with Kenneth and return to Britain in the fall.

POST GRADUATION After graduating, Kenneth got a job as a chef, and spent his free time hanging out and partying with friends. Unlike some of his friends, he was always responsible, keeping the parties as reasonable as possible and preventing things from getting out of hand. When he was nineteen, he received word that his father and step-mother had both died in an accident, and that the issue of his brother's guardianship was being looked over by the court. He immediately left to Britain, living in the family estate, a move which became permanent when he was named his brother's guardian. He has since used family money to purchase The Magic Neep, a green grocer's in Hogsmeade Village in Scotland. He would've liked to get a job as a chef, but his limited knowledge of British cuisine made this seem like a bad idea. For his part, he is thankful for the job he has, as it saves him from working nights and gives him access to fresh goods to use when cooking for his brother. The pair, while affectionate with one another, are still rather unused to one another. The difference in their upbringing and cultures are obvious and occasionally difficult, but Kenneth is determined to do as best he can with his brother.

After moving to England, Kenneth met a young woman named Verily McHalen. In spite of getting off to a rather bumpy start, the pair formed an easy friendship, resulting in Ver frequenting his shop while she was still in school. Once she had graduated, they continued to spend time with one another, and the relationship turned romantic. They dated for a long while until Kenneth finally proposed, and the couple was wed October 19, 2030.

PETS Parrot Chester

Hi, my name is Sophie Taylor Dechering

I'm a female

I work at The Magic Neep

I am working as a Cashier

I'm 23 years old.

My birthday is March 25, 2003

My dream job is writing or potion inventing.

My blood status is Pureblood... technically a werewolf now.

The house I was in was Coyote Dorm of the Salem's Witch's Institute for Witchcraft and Wizardry

I was in the class of 2021

I'm interested in mainly men.

I'm currently with I haven't dated in a while... what can I say?

I may seem quiet, put together, well mannered, and a shy yet overall hardworking but I'm really a nature lover at heart and once my mind is set it is impossible to change it, I don't always keep a polished demeanor, and I do rely a lot on my older sister but I can be tough as nails if I have to after all!

My background story is I have a very boring story, my parents were both purebloods from middle income families that met at Salem Institute for Witchcraft and Wizardry. I suppose it did become complicated that soon after my father graduated from school he joined the werewolf division and was bitten. Neither of my parents saw that as a reason to break up and merely moved to avoid less stigma. We end up moving to a small muggle town in Northern Georgia where my Mother did tarot readings (which I'm pretty sure was a whole scam) and my Dad owned a health food store and flower shop. I was the youngest daughter and when I came of age I attended Salem Institute where two years after my sister began.

Things were quite ordinary in many ways for me I would say. I mean you get used to your Dad taking a potion once a month and running wild in the woods. It wasn't something you gave much thought about. I grew up all my life knowing my father was a werewolf why would anything be different? Yet, the summer I was sixteen there was the accident. Chrissy doesn't talk about it, but father had gotten wounded and not thinking I went to him while he was in his wolf form and gotten bit-thus passing on the werewolf's curse to me. And that was the summer I lost my father the next day. He couldn't deal with the guilt, I suppose. In the end I suppose since he technically killed the Alpha of the pack that had bit him he took the spot though he disbanded the pack. In the end all father's death did was leave me alone and my sister saw it as her responsibility to take care of me-like I couldn't be responsible myself. And thus, when she took the job teaching she dragged me along not giving me much of a choice in the matter. Well, at least if I get a job in Hogsmade (which I know she'll make me so I stay close) there is the forbidden forest which is new scenery to see, right?

I enjoy
1. being outdoors
2. cooking and baking
3. citrus fruit
4. arithmacy
5. Irish coffee (hey I'm legal to drink in the U.S. and definitely in England)

I despise
1. bad manners
2. talking about my past or myself
3. small talk
4. English slang (it is confusing)
5. full-breed cats, half-kneezles are okay.

I'm afraid of infecting another human

My strengths are I am determined yet well mannered about it AND I am a wonderful cook and baker.

My flaws are I am a bit shy and I don't do well in casual conversation and am having trouble adjusting to British culture.

I look like A pale ginger haired girl with bright blue eyes that goes by Tatina Larina

My wand is a Supple, knobby,10 7/8 inch, Osange Orange, Dragon Heartstring

My pet is a Half-Kneazle named Cheshire (and I am pretty sure he hates me)

Oh yes, there's something else I need to tell you! I am a werewolf that currently belongs to no pack. My father (a werewolf) through unforeseen circumstances more or less disbanded a pack of werewolves though he was still technically the Alpha. Due to an accident when I was sixteen he infected me and thus killed himself the next day in shame leaving me packless.
