A Little Deeper
|
When Cyr first came to JWA he was a backward boy from a backward place, his clothing archaic and his speech filled with thees and thous and any number of old-fashioned words and phrases. In a community that was built on tradition and discipline, Cyr was a mischievous child who while good-natured, never stopped questioning and balked against the rigid code of conduct expected of children. Though the community invariably declined to send their children to outside schools, after much deliberation, it was decided that Cyrus would be sent to the JWA due to his nature. Over the years in school he has assimilated with surprising speed and now is indistinguishable from almost any other student. Occasionally something will slip that belies his past but for the most part he's a modern, fun-loving guy who never has a harsh word for anyone. He's a whiz at herbology, kind of a family legacy, and is never found without his 'herbal remedies' many of which are smoked, and have been the only reason so far he's ever gotten in trouble at school. |
Family
|
Erdrick Wildes -- Erdrick is a direct descendant of the founder of Bronwyn's Sight. The town, however, was founded by four families (three wizard, one muggle) so over the generations the bloodlines have all been pretty well mixed. Cyr has two aunts, two uncles, and several cousins from his father's side. Anshelm Wildes - paternal uncle - Anshelm left Bronwyn's Sight out of bitterness over a woman and relocated to London where he has been living most unhappily. He acts as an agent for the village in helping them to sell their products to the outside world. When it was decided to send Cyrus to Hogswart, he was sent to live with Anshelm. |

Hestia Fordham Wildes -- Hestia is primarily descended from the Fordhams which was initially a muggle family but again, over the generations, these distinctions mean less and less. Gloriana Greengrass Fordham -- great grandmother -- On very rare occasions a stranger would manage to find their way into Bronwyn's Sight and proving to be compatible with the community, be allowed to stay. Such was the case with Gloriana Greengrass, a squib that had been rejected by her family who found attitudes in Bronwyn's Sight much more conducive to a happy life. She settled in the village and married a local boy and assimilated smoothly into their society. She has of recent been the subject of much debate, however, as it is speculated that perhaps her blood is that which is responsible for Cyrus' behavioral issues. |
Village of Bronwyn's Sight
|
A little over two hundred years ago, three prominent wizarding families founded a remote enclave on an island off the southern coast of England. Chief among these families were the Wildes who led the way and served as leaders in the small community after its establishment. Bronwyn Silverdane Wildes, wife of the founding patriarch, was a skilled but unstable diviner who received visions of the far future that confounded and frightened her with their violence. So compelling was her fear and the descriptiveness of her predictions so dire that drastic measures were taken. The Wildes, joined by the Silverdanes and the Redhands, relocated to a remote location to found the village of Bronwyn's Sight, certain that these steps were necessary to ensure the safety of their families over the generations. With them they took the descendants of a muggle family, the Fordhams, whose ancestors had protected members of the Wildes family during the witch hunts of the 17th century for while the Wildes were an old family, they were uncharacteristically tolerant of both muggles and those that might be called the lesser blooded. |
