[i][sub]Brian stands just a little below five feet tall, probably has another growth spurt in him somewhere. His brown/ blond hair is usually ruffled like he just rolled out of bed, and his brown eyes are usually crinkled at the edge with smile lines. However, there is a lingering sadness behind them. He has a slight Australian accent still after his few years in America. He is usually dressed in a simple t-shirt and jeans. [/sub][/i]

[indent]Brian is usually seen as a bright and happy young boy, with a passion for animals, large or small. Growing up in Australia, he is use to dealing with creatures that might try to kill him on a daily basis, so when someone else might freak out over a tiny spider, he’d be the one setting it free into the wild. He tends to be friendly to all, and very outgoing. He isn’t very fond of fighting, and will try to break it up with a joke. He seems to have a varied sense of humor, and likes to make people laugh and smile, just like he seems to be doing.

However, this is just the mask he puts on daily. Inside, Brian is in mourning, and a very lost soul. He is different in his family, and is resented by some of them. He does not let his sadness or anger show very often, since he was usually bright and sunny as a small child, and want to keep that up. However, the mask will start crumbling at some point. He is working with a therapist over the summers to help him, however, he doesn’t enjoy talking about this side of him, and unless probed, his mask will stay. [/indent]

[indent]Brian was born to his mother and father in the lovely country of Australia. His father was an American transplant who met his mother, and fell in love. The two were married quickly and chose to stay in Australia after Brian’s mother found out she was pregnant. One child later, they had Brian, and the family of four was happy.

Brian’s mother worked at a quokka sanctuary, and brought her youngest son to work with her often. Brian bonded with the animals there, and adopted their smile as his own. He grew close to one at the age of seven, one named Steve. He wished to bring the animal home as a pet, but it was decided that it would be a poor plan, so he visited the sanctuary often to play with Steve. Brian displayed some occasional oddities, but they were brushed off.

Everything changed one day when Brian was almost eight. While going to pick up his older brother from rugby practice, his parents and himself were involved in a fatal accident. Had it not been for Brian’s magic, he probably would have been killed as well. His parents car was slammed off the road by a huge semi-truck, and they also hit a grove of trees. When Brian woke up, the first thing he saw was his parents, dead, in the front seats of the car. When the police arrived at the scene, they found the eight year old boy trying desperately to wake his parents.

For a few months after the accident Brian refused to do much of anything. He sat in his room, barely ate, and refused to speak. It was only after his older brother mentioned Steve, that he started to perk up. His aunt and uncle, whom had gotten custody of the two boys, brought Brian to the quokka sanctuary that Brian started talking, but only to Steve. Realizing that the young boy would only open up to the creature, his aunt and uncle started on the paperwork for them to bring the two young boys and the quokka back to the United States with them. There were quite a few legal battles, and paperwork issues, but they finally got the permission, two years later. 

By then the ten year old was displaying more acts of magic, that stumped his guardians, brother and his older female cousin. She had grown to resent how much attention Brian was getting from her parents. She tried to claim he was making it all up, and that he was fine. She started picking on him when no one was around, calling him names, and telling him he was all alone since he only had a dumb animal as a friend.

Then next year his whole family was surprised when a young witch showed up from Salem Witchs’ Institue. She informed them of Brian’s gift and went through all the things they would need to know for young Brian and him starting at the new school that year. This put the final nail in the coffin for Brian and his cousin to ever get along. She started calling him freak, and making fun of him. However, once he got to school he started putting on a mask of happiness and friendliness and made friends amongst his peers. He much prefers being at school than home.   [/indent]

[indent]Amelia Jones- Mother (Deceased)
Anthony Jones- Father (Deceased)
Anthony (Tony) Jones Jr- Older brother. At three years older than Brian, he doesn’t know how to relate to his younger brother. Holds no resentment towards him, just doesn’t see him much.
Christina Fields- Paternal Aunt. One of Brian and Anthony, or Tony’s guardians. She doesn’t quite understand magic, but tries to make sure Brian feels like he is fitting in when he is home.
Mark Fields- Uncle by marriage. One of Brian and Tony’s guardians. He is usually busy with work, so isn’t home around much. Not fond of Steve the quokka.
Misty Fields- Cousin. At eighteen, she is an angry teenager that hates her two younger cousins, claiming they took her parents from her. She especially resents Brian, since he needs the most care and attention. She tries to claim he is making up his problems, but is usually silence. Will make fun of Brian and pick on him when they are alone.  [/indent]

[indent][indent]Steve is always smiling, as most quokka’s do. He keeps close to Brian, and can usually be found with the young boy. Enjoys being cuddled, but only with Brian’s permission.[/indent][/indent]
