He is very small and can sit in Toby's hands. He doesn’t like his cage and prefers being out and about. Rufus was a gift from his uncle Ridley when Toby first learned of magic. Rufus had just hatched and as such Toby was the first human face he saw after being born. Rufus is fiercely loyal to Toby and they love each other dearly like all familiar and people should, but Rufus is aggressive and if he doesn’t get what he wants he will bite and peck Toby until he is noticed. When out and about and playing by themselves Rufus’ favorite spot is on Toby’s shoulder.

He’s smart and skilled in magic, but is always humble and never takes it too seriously. To the people that call him a gifted wizard he laughs and says that he just loves magic. He’s enlightened and wise in certain ways, but still easy going and playful. He has a sense of humor that not many people may get because he finds most things funny even though they may not be, but he never means anything spiteful or mean. He sees the world in a positive light and full of wonder and amazement like a child who has just been born. To him everything is done in good fun, which may be seen as him being immature and naïve, but to him it’s just being optimistic in life. He sees the world with possibilities and opportunities in mind. He’s well aware that the world doesn’t go with anyone’s plans and it runs its course without anyone in mind. He knows that mistakes happen, bonds come apart, and actions and words can never be taken back, but he is also aware that time passes. He believes that in life, nothing can never stay bad forever, but at the same time nothing will ever be too good. Everything goes back normal, which is how it should be. When faced with conflict and unwanted situations Toby becomes quieter than usual, but not too much to cause worry. To him the best way to solve a problem is by approaching it logically, head on, and making sure to keep his emotions won’t get in the way. Of course, it cannot be helped if Toby deviates from his typical behavior. As much as he tries to be the best Toby there is he is only human. He is a teenage boy filled with emotions that can burst at the seams which is why sometimes his emotions may get the better of him. One of Toby’s worst habits is that he is too much of an individually minded person that never asks for help. He turns down most offers for helping him because he sees himself a burden to the other. Unsurprisingly enough Toby himself is helpful and always willing to do what is asked of him. He offers his help to anyone who needs it and always does it with a hundred percent, but he never notices just how much is being asked of him or how much he is giving away of himself. Toby never sees this as a form of abuse because a part of him likes to show off without being arrogant and sees this part of him as just simply being kind and it really is just him being a good person. Toby is a good friend, but there are certain things that limit Toby from fully connecting with people. This inhibited nature of his makes certain people wonder if Toby does want to be a friend or is just there for the sake of being a pleasant person, and the answer is that he is there to be friends. Toby has his secrets, nothing too dark or grave, but they are very personal to him and as much as possible would like to keep it that way. [b]SHORT BIOGRAPHY:[/b] Toby was born to two normal people in a world of wonder. His father, John, wanted to die old and die in his bed with his loving, normal, wife. His mother, Jane, wanted to be a homemaker since she knew what the word meant. Their plan was simple. They would get married, move into a house in the suburbs when they were in their late twenties, have children when they reach thirty, and then raise them until they get to retire and enjoy their old age in peace. He would work in an office for most of the day and bring home the bacon, and she would stay in the house and be a homemaker. In a world of wonder, never-ending magic, and impossible instances this plan was never bound to happen. When Toby was born, they had no idea he was coming. Toby was an accident, unplanned, and as if most children born out of passionate love making without a condom Toby was a disappointment, a regret they have live with. They were a young married couple in their mid twenties living in a costly apartment in Baltimore. They had just accidentally toppled a single domino, and when a single domino falls so does everything else. The moment he was born Toby already ruined their perfect plan. His parents tried his best, but they were young, inexperienced and had no idea how to raise a person. Help was received all around, but as he grew older help was becoming less and less helpful because only so many people can hello change a diaper or take care of a toddler. Growing up that small home Toby understood that life was horrible and great. His mother who took care of him daily filled him happy memories, and his father created bitter one’s. In his mother’s eyes he was a mistake that she got excited for, and for that Toby was thankful and paid his mother’s kindness with friendship and love. In his father’s eyes he was a disappointment who ruined everything he wanted in life, but felt obliged as a father so Toby paid his father’s duty with respect and tolerance. He grew up in a home that made him despise Ignorance, judgment, and control. His father constantly challenged Toby in everything he was, but his father never let him win because no matter how much he tried his father made him small and weak. His mother who took care of him rarely supported him in his desires always judging him quietly and giving him false hope. This type of life is not sad or miserable, but it made the happy memories truly happy because they were rare. His mother was aware of magic because her brother was a wizard, an accomplished one at that. During their childhood, she grew distant to him and cut off ties with the magical world when she became an adult always trying to make sure she would live a normal life. This, of course, was a plan that Toby ruined the moment he made a neighborhood’s kid hair stand up on all ends and blue. Toby was magical and his parents both hated and feared him for it. They were parents so they accepted him without question, but his existence made them wonder whether or not they should have just gotten a abortion. The moment the members of the family found they had a wizard on their hands more pieces fall which eventually led to his mother’s brother, the uncle Ridley who he’s never met before, the wizard, to come into the picture. Most of his early magical education came from his uncle, an accomplished wizard who made time to teach him magic until he would be old enough to attend KingsRidge. Normally they would not accept someone like Toby, but his uncle was an alumnus and Toby’s skills spoke for himself. Soon enough he was in New York in an environment so full of magic that it seems like he was robbed of a childhood he could have had.

Toby wears an Amethyst [url=http://www.bikerringshop.com/catalog/mens-amethyst-ring.jpg]ring[/url]. Amethyst is the February gemstone which he thinks is pretty cool even though it’s probably useless.
