Brief Childhood History: Thiago's parents are of German and Italian descent, however, they lived in Brazil for most of their lives. They were quite well-off and from a mostly pureblooded old family. A mutual love for England encouraged the couple to pack up and move there in their thirties. Both in Brazil and in England, they worked for the Ministries of Magic. They soon had Thiago, their first and oldest son, quickly followed a year later by a set of fraternal twins, one male and one female. Their attention was so often focused on their youngest pair that Thiago usually felt ignored by the rest of his family. His siblings already had each other, forming a tight bond that he could never match, and his parents were constantly preoccupied by the other two, in addition to their already busy lives.
Thiago became more independent, generally doing his "own thing". Rather than becoming an overachiever to try and win over the attention of his family, he seemed to do the opposite. Familar with being out of the spotlight, he is used to sinking into the shadows and just observing life. However, being ignored also led him to become used to being able to do much of what he wanted. He can be a bit of a troublemaker at times because he just doesn't care.
As a child, he had a group of close friends, also wizards and witches, who were the sons and daughters of his parents' co-workers and who lived in the area. As a pureblood, he did not attend Muggle school, but instead was homeschooled through the use of private tutors. Magic has been a typical and comfortable part of his life. He finds Muggle aspects of life, however, quite interesting because he was rarely exposed to it.
His grandfather and father were both pianists, and it was natural that, when he was young, he also learned piano. However, recently, he has been turning his attention to guitar.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Thiago is extremely laid-back, a trait that is both his strength and his weakness. He is for the most part very calm and cool-headed. When something embarassing, frustrating, or unpleasant happens, he is more likely to have a puzzled look dawn on his face then to burst into a yelling match. In fact, he hardly yells. He never had much trouble making friends in school. He can be witty at times, but it's mostly his sensitive, gentle personality that attracts people, mixed with a slightly "bad boy" attitude. Academically, he has always had an interest in Astronomy, because he finds the stars and planets, so far away and always there, no matter where you are, just wonderous.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Thiago is quite introverted. He thinks, watches, and overanalyzes, and it might take him a little longer until he finally acts on how he truly feels. He is not exactly shy or always being pushed around, but he has problems with being honest and courageous. His form of snapping on someone is usually running away from the bad situation to be by himself. He can too often seem completely apathetic to what is happening around him, although really it's because he is not expressing himself. In school, he is a bit rubbish at nearly every class except Astronomy.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Thiago fails miserably on the "hardworking" aspect of Hufflepuff, but it remains to be the house where he best belongs. He also does not have a strong sense of what is "just", and what may or may not be the right thing to do. However, he is extremely loyal to those that he loves, has patience, and is apathetic enough that he will be honest and accepting. While he comes close to Gryffindor characteristics by simply following whatever he believes in, ultimately it is his attitude of being a follower rather than a leader that makes the distinction.
