6: What is your OC’s family situation? Do they get along? Do they fight? Or are they alone?
Lysander is super close to his family. he spent most of his childhood travelling with his parents and his twin brother, and as such, he had few long-term friends apart from his family & their creatures. he is so very dependent on his brother, I can see Lorcan helping him with a lot of things Lysander has trouble with --- like keeping focus, basic practical every-day things. his parents never fight, and they fostered an atmosphere of always being honest & not being afraid to be yourself. extended family gatherings are a bit awkward; as the Scamanders are fairly open, but Xenophilius found it hard to blend and spend time around so many people. i can see him & Lorcan being the only members of his family that disagree or even ‘fight’. but i’d need a Lorcan to discuss headcanons with.
11: Is there a place they go to in order to escape the world, the stresses of life? What’s their favourite place?
Lysander actually doesn’t like to escape the world. you’d think he was a dreamer, but... he loves the world. he rarely get’s distracted by dreams or wants to hide away. it’s about something he’s watching, something practical. though when he got to Hogwarts, he does have a good few years of hiding away alone. he likes to go to the third-floor bathroom & talk to Myrtle, or go to the Lake. he’s also been known to wonder into the Forbidden Forest, which, has got him a good few detentions.
16: What are concepts they value? Virtues? What do they look down upon?
he values intelligence and an open mind, new ways of thinking that he wouldn’t have thought of. he also values kindness and anything... new. something he wouldn’t have seen before, y’know? he also appreciates a good storyteller. he will sit and listen to you for hours!
there’s not much that he looks down upon. it makes him feel upset if he see’s someone being cruel but what really irks him is a closed mind or someone brushing him or someone else off.
