Basti

Bastian's family is all about sports. His mother Agnetha is a writer for a European Quidditch magazine, and his father Yunho works for Borussia Dortmund - in Bastian's opinion, the best club in the world. His childhood was spent at the Westfalenstadion, watching BVB's home games, and also at various Quidditch games, watching up and coming Quidditch players play their sport. He had the best of both worlds, really.

As a child, Bastian truly connected with his muggle side, due to his love of football and BVB. He was a dedicated fan, and at school, would not hesitate bragging to his mates that *he* actually had the chance to talk to the players themselves. Bastian himself plays very well, and when not spending his time idolizing his team, he played for local youth teams and quickly made a name for himself. It came to the point where he would pray for his Squibness, so he could continue on being good in football and go on to play for BVB, all without the worry of magic and having to go off and learn to be a wizard.

He largely blames it on his cousin of a cousin, Brynja Skovgaard. Brynja was living with Bastian's cousins in Norway, and when Bastian's family came to visit (which was often), she was there. It didn't help that they were the same age and seemed to disagree on everything. Dortmund vs Bayern. Sweden vs Norway. Germany vs Norway. Despite all that, they manage to get along well - sometimes.

Bastian was always more steadier on the ground, and when Brynja decided it was a good idea to give him a good scare by showing off her flying skills, it ended with Bastian jumping in the air - literally. His first display of magical abilities was not a happy moment for him, and even now, still gets grumpy at the mention of it.

At the age of 11, he received his letter to Durmstrang, and he happily fit into the place. He excelled in his subjects at school, and was *very* glad that Brynja decided to be homeschooled, even if it meant she got to see more of their beloved shared cousin, Asbjørn and Pyrrha, his best friend (that Bastian may or may not had a crush on). He was having the time of his life, in fact, and even took back his desire to be a Squib - being magical was great after all. Except it didn't continue.

Brynja was going to Hogwarts, and his mother thought that it would be nice for her to have a *friend* to accompany her, so she transferred Bastian to Hogwarts for his fourth year. Is he angry? Very much so. But Bastian won't let Brynja have the last laugh so easily, and will *try* to explore Hogwarts with open eyes...if he's up to it.

basti is either the most sensitive person ever or the most insensitive

basti is a very intense person. he's determined and throws himself into everything he does. he knows what he wants, and he will find a way to get it. No matter how long it takes, he'll get it done.

he's one to appreciate the simple things in life. reliable and trustworthy, he tends to be skeptical of many things that come to light (such as bayern being a better club than dortmund, which is obviously not true). he's appreciative of the things people do for him and most of the time, is simpy *chill*.

basti doesn't let anything go unnoticed. everything that happens, he always seems to know, somehow. whenever it comes to speaking, he's a powerful one, because he's good at persuading people, but his passion for certain things may be too extreme sometimes. He's also a curious one, who will dig through layers just to get an answer.

sometimes basti comes across as being very serious, especially when in comparasion to his acquaintance brynja. he's sarcastic and skilled at achieving the dead-pan look at every stupid thing that happens. He's responsible and careful, and usually doesn't like to get involved in crazy things, but he gets dragged in anyway. The only thing he has going for him most of the time is that he's usually successful in whatever endeavors he choses to go through.
