Olaf Schnee // 19 // 7th year // Thunderbird  // No-Maj Born

Care of Magical Creatures Specialization

FC: Miles Teller  

If there is one thing that Olaf loves more than carrots, unicorns and sandwiches, it’s the summer…or it used to be, until he stopped feeling the heat. Olaf was around thirteen when it started, the heat of the sun, the gentle touch of the wind and the soft sensation of morning dew soaking through his shoes began to no longer register. He couldn’t feel it. Any of it and it was terrifying but he never wore that fear on his face. At first he just let it go, it wasn’t like he was in pain, maybe this whole thing would go away on it’s own. It didn’t. It got worse and worse and he became so desperate to feel something, anything that he stuck his hand in a pot of boiling water, it wasn’t until he had a third degree burn that the pain even registered. He was 17.

His foster parents got him to a healer and the fixed his hand but they couldn’t figure out what was wrong with his senses. They determined that it wasn’t a medical condition but a curse but try as they might, they couldn’t find a way to break it. With the mystery about it gone, he became far less afraid then he used to be. He began to get used to it, found ways that his inability to feel pain was funny, at least, until the beginning of his seventh year.

It was bizarre, he felt as if something was caught in his chest, like a ball of phlegm. He coughed all day, trying to bring it up. He made jokes about how he was like a chain smoker but he was really worried. Finally, huddled over the sink in his bathroom, he got it up but what came out of his mouth and landed in the sink shocked him. It wasn’t phlegm, it wasn’t even blood…it was snow. He was slowly turning into snow and he couldn’t stop it.

Kristoff Bjorgman  // 19  // 7th year // Thunderbird  // No-maj Born

Magical Wilderness Survivalist specialization

FC: Lucas Till

Kristoff has never felt at home around modern civilization or most civilization. Born and raised in the wide open wilderness of Nunavut Canada, everywhere else seems tame in comparison. His parents had been scientists, studying ice samples up on the very top of the world. They disappeared one day in a snow storm when he was quite young and was raised by their best friend and her family in Iqualiut. He never saw them again but he knew what happened, he learned the day he heard of their deaths that the planet was a force to be reckoned with, a stronger force than anything else.

When he was accepted into Ilvermorny, he left his home with a few reservations. He didn’t want to go and involve himself with soft southerners. He didn’t want to get wrapped up in stupid, pointless problems. He discovered pretty quickly that people were as bad as he thought they were but there was also a lot of potential money in dealing with them. It turned out there were a lot of so called intellectuals that wanted to go up north and study the wildlife and the magical properties of the ice who needed a guide. When he learned he could study to become a survivalist, it seemed like a no brainer to him.

Things seemed to be going pretty smoothly for him until he discovered in a book a brief passage about a phantom snow storm and how they could be bridges to other worlds. It was all very technical and flew right over his head but it planted the seed of an idea in his head, could his parents actually be alive in some weird pocket dimension? It seemed ridiculous but if magic was possible, couldn’t a magical time space rift snow storm be real too?

Positive Traits:

Strong, Smart, Brave

Negative Traits:

Stubborn, Antisocial, Sarcastic.

Hans Westergard  // 21  // 9th year // Horned Serpent  // Pureblood

Magical Politics Specialization

FC: Joseph Morgan

Hans is the youngest of twelve brothers and grew up in a stately home in South Carolina. His mother was a strong woman with a cold look in her eye and his father was almost always off on business. Neither of his parents had much time for him, spending all their time on his older, more accomplished siblings. He tried to glean even a morsel of interest, as hard as he could but he was largely ignored. His oldest brothers even pretended he didn’t exist for an entire year. He almost thought that he didn’t exist.

As he got older he buried his feelings deep, deep down knowing that if he let himself feel anything, it would only weaken him. He became a wolf in sheep’s clothing, acting as consequential as they made him out to be but accomplishing a lot more that way. By the time he was Twelve he already knew every useful secret of his town’s mayor’s office, each of which his mother found useful and so she told him the family’s greatest secret…that they were once kings. Centuries ago in Europe they were the royal family of a small European nation on an island off the coast of France but they were overthrown by the powerful witches of the corona bloodline. The Westergards were disgraced and the Corona’s rose to power and ever since, the family has sworn revenge by destroying their bloodline once and for all. An agent of theirs had even gone so far as to kidnap the heir of the family to condition her to be loyal to their side and there was one more branch of the family to ruin.

Deep down the story scared him, he wasn’t sure he bought into the idea of murdering people, let alone people his age but this was what he thought he wanted. He wanted recognition and to be included. He told himself it was fine, that if he was included, if they confirmed his existence he would play along. When he was accepted into Ilvermorny, he thought he would be somewhat removed from his family’s secret crusade but everything changed when he saw Elsa Arendelle. He had been told the name and he knew who she was and being the dutiful son he was, he told his mother immediately.

Years later, when he was eighteen, his older brothers orchestrated the plane crash that killed Elsa’s parents. He told himself that he didn’t feel guilty, it was all for the greater good, his greater good. His mother wants him to take advantage of his position at school and either kill Elsa or use the imperious curse to control her and use her as a tool for their side. It sounds to him like his mother wants more than just revenge, that she wants world domination and at this point, after all he’s done, he isn’t sure he’s too opposed to the idea. He’s already gone pretty dark already, why not go all the way?
