-------------------------------------------------------------------
PATRONUS: Kael’s patronus is a sugar glider, a tiny whisp of a patronus. It is very resembling of his pet sugar glider, Brevi.
BOGGART: Kael fears loneliness, particularly in the form of rejection by others. He’s worked hard to realize that he doesn’t need everyone’s approval or acceptance, but it’s still a wish of his to be a generally well-liked and cared for person.
MIRROR OF ERISED: Kael’s deepest wish would probably be consistency in life. He’d like to be settled down, perhaps with a family of his own, with a more permanent career in place.
HABITS: When bored or in need of entertainment, Kael will usually pull out his pet sugar glider, Brevi, from his shirt pocket where he is usually located.
PET PEEVE: Prejudice and pre-conceived biases annoy Kael to no end. How is it possible to truly understand or know somebody without giving them a chance to define themselves personally? Right behind that pet peeve is dishonesty. He can’t stand when people lie, whether to him or themselves.
STRENGTHS:
• Empathy: Perhaps Kaelan’s greatest strength is his ability to empathize with others. He excels in understanding how others generally feel and what makes them tick and think the way they do. His compassion and outreach allows him to get along with just about any other person willing to give him a chance. Even when there are fundamental and irreconcilable differences between him and another person, he is respectful and always tries to understand the way the other might think or react.
• Physically Fit: A benefit from his career as a Quidditch player, Kaelan is toned and fit. He has good stamina and a decent amount of upper body strength. This obviously can come into play in numerous aspects of life.
WEAKNESSES:
• Soft: The drawback to all of his compassion and understanding is that Kael is not particularly tough. He hates fighting and confrontation, which leads him to always try peaceful tactics. These tactics, of course, are not appropriate for every given situation. Sometimes things need to be done in a forceful manner, and when it comes to these issues, Kaelan does not usually pull through.
• Easy to Manipulate: Kaelan’s fear of rejection and need for acceptance can sometimes make him easy to manipulate. Though he has gotten better at controlling this need, there is also the fact that he doesn’t understand dishonesty very well. He wants to believe people are as open and honest with him as he is to them. Unfortunately this is not the case, making him slightly gullible. He is far from stupid, however, and will confront those who he realizes are deceiving him (often slightly hurt because of it).
TRAITS:
Kael is kind-natured and friendly. Although he's initially a bit shy and awkward around strangers, deep down he is a caring and intimate person. He is well in tune with others' emotions and reacts accordingly. He tends to wear his heart on his sleeve, and never puts up a facade of emotions. He is a sensitive person, both toward others and as himself. He tries to remain as honest and true to himself, and has trouble understanding why people lie, whether to themselves or others. . As such, dishonest people tend hurt him the most. Even still, he doesn't take every little thing to heart and has come to accept the moderate harshness of reality.
He is generally soft and relaxed in nature. He is good-hearted and spirited and is usually a happy person. He tries to be as laid back and easy going as he can be, though his emotions can get in the way sometimes. Rarely is he angry, but it certainly can happen every once in a while. His thought processes are generally deep and complex and he sometimes doesn't know why he feels the way he does. Friendship is extremely important to him, and he loves the high he gets when around good friends, both new and old.

HISTORY:
Kaelen Arndell knew nothing of the wizarding world for the earliest years of his life. Having been born to two muggles, Kael was first integrated into their society. Of course there were all the unexplainable odd incidents that every magical child exhibits while growing up. Both he and his siblings had showed them when they first reached the proper age. These incidents simply went unexplained. It wasn't until his older brother Mel received his letter from the Australian School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that his family learned of the magical world. That event would change everything Kaelan knew about the world.
Slowly but surely, Kael was introduced to the wizarding world. At first it was mostly just through his brother, but his parents were accepting and tried to integrate into the wizarding world as best as two muggles could. Both he and his younger sister would come to receive invitations to school of their own when they reached the proper age. Throughout his years at school, Kael became completely integrated with the magical world, but also had the advantage of understanding and living in the muggle world as well. He still retains a lifestyle that mixes both the magical and the muggle.
At school, Kael fell in love with Quidditch and became part of one of his schools' teams. He continued on with Qudditch even after school, joining a free-lance team. This team was the very same one that Benjamin Turner came to join. The two of them became close friends, as they did with the whole team, and they had a lot of fun both on and off the pitch. After the team went on a temporary hiatus due to membership loss, Kael was at a bit of a loss as to what to do with himself. He decided that it was a good time to take a break from sports and get out and explore the world.
Thus, where better to start than his old mate Ben's home country of England? He wouldn't have to learn a different language at least. Like much of the rest of the world, he had no idea what had been taking place in England over the past few years. Needless to say, it probably wasn't the best time for a muggle-born to be visiting the country. He had no knowledge of the muggle-born enslavement, and would have been outraged if he had. He blindly entered Britain, having no idea what he could possibly get into.
