They like to insist that they haven't hit their growth spurt yet, but only time will tell if they are still growing or not. Their skin is naturally pale, and they tend to burn in the sun rather than tan. Their purple eyes always look tired with intense bags underneath them. They like to accessorize themselves in edgy teenage jewelry like chains and dark crystals. Their hair is always intentionally messy, unless their mom gets a hand on them and combs it neatly for them. But even that only lasts for a second before they mess up their hair again. Ferris has no real piercings yet, but as soon as they turn 18, they will get so many. Tattoos too! Personality: Ferris prefers the company of animals over the company of people. That isn't to say that they cannot get along with other people, they just find it draining to have to be around humans. They feel like they can be themselves around animals, while people tend to judge or ask questions or in the worst case, bully and tease. They put up a wall around people they do not trust and can come across as cold or uninterested. However, once someone gets through that wall, they will find that the real Ferris is actually very expressive and begrudgingly kind. Ferris loves pulling harmless pranks though. When Ferris becomes comfortable, they become more mischievous and can easily lie with a serious or innocent face. This is because Ferris has 3 older siblings who all love to play pranks on each other. Ferris may joke that it was their siblings' love language. Because of their love for pranks, Ferris is a bit more observant than others as one must be to avoid all of the shenanigans their siblings may pull. They are also very adaptive to most situation, as one might become when an example of an idea of a prank from their sibling is tying them to the top of the roof while they were asleep. Background: [hider=Family] Mother-- Alice Arquette, 50, graduated from the Quandrix College Father-- Felix Arquette, 51, graduated from the Quandrix College Oldest Brother-- Steele Arquette, 25, graduated from the Quandrix College Second Brother-- Stone Arquette, 21, graduated from the Quandrix College Third Brother-- Mica Arquette, 19, graduated from the Quandrix College [/hider] Ferris Arquette was born "Ferra Arquette" and was a biological female. The baby of a well-to-do family of 6, Ferris always felt loved. And while their older siblings were obnoxious, they never made Ferris feel bad about themselves. Especially when they came out as nonbinary. Their older siblings did their best to make sure that Ferris never felt like a weirdo, and always tried to understand Ferris and their gender journey. Of course, they had to deal with their good share of bullies, but Ferris could ignore it for the most part, knowing that their family had their back. [hider=Magic Discovery] Ferris comes from a long line of mages, and each of their sibling is also a mage. Each of their sibling has attended Strixhaven and has already graduated, leaving the young Ferris as the last Arquette child to attend the school. Ferris was worried that they would not have magic at all. Their family assured them that they would most likely be a mage just like them and that even if that wasn't the case, they would still love them just the same. One day, as Ferris was sitting by themself in the backyard, a cat approached Ferris. [color=darkOrchid]"Aren't you a good kitty,"[/color] they cooed as they were playing with it. "A good kitty? How patronizing!" it scoffed back. [color=darkOrchid]"Y-you can talk?"[/color] Ferris asked, stunned. "Well, yes. But you seem to be the odd one for being able to understand me." Before anything else, Ferris ran back into the house and told their mom that they met a talking cat. Slightly confused, their mother went to the backyard and saw the normal cat. [color=darkOrchid]"Okay, talk to my mom,"[/color] Ferris commanded. "Rude. No please?" the cat snapped back. [color=darkOrchid]"Did you hear it, Mom?"[/color] Ferris turned to his mother and asked. But she shook her head. Finally Ferris pieced it together and realized that they had magic -- wild speak and was able to communicate with animals. [/hider] After their family found out about their abilities, they gifted them their wand. Ferris themselves, doesn't know how their family obtained their wands, but their parents insist that they will tell them one day when they are ready. "A family friend," they would say with a knowing smirk. Ferris didn't know much about their wand, but they cherished it. The broom, Ferris picked out on their own on a family shopping trip. They were 11 and all they knew they wanted was they wanted something fast so they could beat their siblings in a race. The Bolting 4000 caught their eye, and this one in particular came in with black bristles and a purple shaft. After a bit of begging and puppy dog eyes, Ferris was able to convince their parents to buy it for them. Who could resist the baby of the family? Ferris is deathly afraid of the ocean. Swimming was fine, but something about the ocean -- bottomless, black, unknown. It didn't help that they nearly drowned when they were a kid, and got swept out by a huge wave. Fortunately, they were saved by their father, but Ferris never outgrew that fear.
