;; appearance
general;;
A head full of slight brown curls covers the head of young Wesley Cruz and stops just short of his dark chocolate eyes as well. Naturally, young-looking with what other people would describe as a “baby face,” Wesley is often mistaken for a younger child despite his being eleven. Despite his love of the outdoors, his skin is pale. Being average height for a boy his age, Wesley never towered over any of his peers.
He has a birthmark on the back of his right shoulder, which is barely darker than the color of his skin. Being young, dental hygiene was never on his mind, so his teeth are just a bit yellowed from drinking soft drinks and eating candy, though it is barely noticeable. He had a few scars here and there, but none are more serious than a skinned knee or one from having the chicken pox.
His dress is casual and conservative. He doesn’t like to draw too much attention to himself with what he wears. Other than his Ravenclaw robes, Wesley could be found in light shades of blue or green with comfortable jeans and sneakers.

;; personality
general;; Extremely curious with a love for learning, it is no wonder that Wesley was sorted into Ravenclaw. His curiosity could sometimes be confused with nosiness, because he sometimes has a bad habit of eavesdropping. When caught, however, he can (if luck is on his side) charm his way out of trouble. He is naturally outgoing, though when faced with an extremely uncomfortable situation, Wesley finds himself becoming shyer.
He thinks quite a bit and sometimes lives in his head. He has a conscience that tells him when something is right or wrong, though it is sometimes hard for Wesley to accept that there are grey areas as well. He is gullible, and that sometimes can get him into trouble; especially when it has to do with a grey area between good and evil. Wesley is naturally vivacious and full of life.

;; origins
general;;
Even before birth, Wesley’s life has been full of mystery. His biological mother, Ofelia Cruz, became pregnant by a muggle named Sam Butler. Ofelia, who disliked the idea of having a child fathered by a muggle, considered aborting the child. She would have gone through with it, but Mercedes, her sister and Wesley’s aunt, told Ofelia that she would take the child. So Wesley was raised by Mercedes and spent all of his life thinking his aunt was his mother and his mother was his aunt. When Mercedes took Wesley, they spent a year living with Wesley’s grandmother before moving into their own apartment after Mercedes got a job.
Wesley showed signs of being magical as early as his sixth birthday, though nothing more than the unlocking of a once-locked door. It wasn’t until his ninth birthday when he levitated the whole dining room table after being told that he would have to eat his vegetables that Wesley was sure that he would be joining the other magical students at Hogwarts. He received his letter in the mail and he couldn’t have been more thrilled.
Wesley loved magic ever since he had known about its existence, which was from birth. He just knew that he would be sorted into Gryffindor, like his mother. When the sorting hat touched his head, however, it yelled out Ravenclaw. A little saddened that he wouldn’t be following in Mercedes’ footsteps, Wesley joined his fellow Ravenclaws with a confused look on his face. After time, however, he learned that he did belong in Ravenclaw for his love of learning and natural intelligence.

;; roleplaying
sample;;
The soft strum of an acoustic guitar could be heard from a tiny dilapidated apartment complex in a busy city. An artist’s fingers delicately moved his fingers this way and that as he played some sweet melody of origins unknown. The song had popped into his head the previous day and he had realized how long it had been since he had picked up a guitar. Ever since he left Sunnydale, Oz hadn’t a desire to try his hand at the guitar.
He strummed a final chord and looked longingly out the window. Everything about the day seemed dreary, but Oz felt a strange bliss. He loved how the clouds had turned everything slightly grey and the room temperature had dropped. He exhaled deeply and white smoke emitted from his mouth. Normally, he never felt this good.
But something about today had changed how he felt. There was something in the air or something in how everyone in the busy city was calmed by the light drizzle pitter-pattering outside of his window. Maybe there was hope for him after all. It had been thirteen years since he had seen his old friends, and the night before he had decided that it was high time he had paid them a visit. Maybe that was it. That was the reason the music had come back to him. That had to be; it was the only explanation.
