Brief Childhood History: Kenneth grew up near the outskirts of London, in a suburban area. Within this area lived a respectably sized wizard community consisting of some wizard families living near each other. This community was chosen by his parents so that he could experience both worlds, as his father was muggle-born and his mother a witch. Due to this, Kenneth had a good amount of contact with both muggle and wizard kids, although never quite understanding the intricacies of muggle life. His childhood was mostly spent playing with wizard kids that lived nearby.
Through both of his families he grew up into the wizarding world and became a typical wizard kid, enjoying watching Quidditch matches, flying, playing with animals and pets, both magical and non-magical. Being the oldest of four siblings, he always thought it was his mission to take care and instruct his siblings, so he read a lot to them and told interesting(to him) facts and information. He took upon himself to teach them while their father worked at the Department of International Magical Cooperation and their mother and her siblings ran an apothecary and a bookstore. Thus, he grew into a quite intelligent and educated young wizard, enjoying books and studying.
Despite liking to act older and being a know-it-all to impress his siblings, Kenneth is first and foremost a child. He enjoys playing with his siblings, getting ice-cream with them and their parents or uncles and aunts, going to his cousins' places and having fun. Being part of a big family made him want to set himself apart, and he found that possibility in books and his brain. It also made him self-conscious and timid, due to always being judged and evaluated by his cousins, uncles and aunts. Never he found out that it was only in his head that he was being assessed.
Strengths (Including Personality and Academic): Because he was always very curious and wanted to learn more, Kenneth read a lot about lots of things, making him very knowledgeable for his age. His knowledge was mainly about the books that he could get, which were most wizarding books from his mother and her siblings bookstore, with the occasional muggle book which his father used for reference in some work travels or other wizards brought to the bookshop. Those books consisted mostly of spells and enchantments regarding Charms and Transfiguration, with a lot on the wizarding society and some of Quidditch. All this knowledge on spells and enchantments would probably make him good in Charms and Transfiguration class. He often visited his mother at work, both in the bookstore, where he read a lot, and the apothecary, where he experimented with leftover ingredients, components and some old books that he found lying around the house or the shop. All his experimentation and exploration of potion-making would make Kenneth a better than average Potions student. His need to learn and become a source of knowledge together with his perfectionism made Kenneth very dedicated towards everything he made, from studying to his hobbies. His scholar personality also made him become very composed and be able to keep his calm in most situations, despite his shyness. When he was little, his parents spent many nights with he and his siblings staring at the starry sky, talking about constellations, stars and any other subject that anyone wanted. Since those nights, Kenneth liked to lay down and watch the bright night sky. His most soothing hobby is astronomy, something that would make him very good at Astronomy lessons, seeing that he finds it both calming and insteresting.
Weaknesses (Including Personality and Academic): Despite growing up playing with some muggle kids, Kenneth could never quite grasp most points of muggle life, logic and pretty much everything else, making his attempts to take Muggle Studies a tad frustrated. Because he had to help bring up and instruct(mostly in his mind) his younger siblings, he constantly read lots of books and tended to correct and teach his siblings, making him, sometimes, an insufferable know-it-all, in spite of his desire to be nice to other people. He thrived to learn so he could pass his knowledge to his siblings, which made him gradually spend less time with kids and more with books, something that developed into a growing timidness and shyness towards generally everyone, what sometimes proved an obstacle to his attempts to make new friends. Due to his shyness and timidness he developed a very introverted personality that manifested only sometimes, but could prove complicated. Being the oldest, he always set very high standards for himself in his pursuit of helping his brothers and sister, a characteristic that made others look at him with admiration and respect, but which made him very self-conscious and in desperate need to be the best at everything. His naturally curious personality can bring lots of good things, but can also make his life worse than it should be when he enters one of his curiosity frenzies and needs to explore new things and knowledge.
What House You Feel Your Character Belongs In and Why: Ravenclaw, because of his innate curiosity, thirst for knowledge and his desire of discovering new things constantly. He wants to know, even though he can't say what. He finds pleasure in knowing things other people usually don't, setting him somewhat apart from others. He usually heard that intelligence, curiosity and wits were traits valued by Ravenclaw, and he always thought to have those traits.
