## Biography

### Childhood

Perceval Specter was born on May 28th to Polly and Amos Specter. He was always a very mild mannered child. He was very close with his sisters as a young boy, often hanging around them rather than his father or brother, causing a slightly strained relationship with them.

While Percy developed his abilities young, he never had any particular gift for magic. He developed an elemental ability, something that was very much expected in his family, though his siblings all quickly surpassed him in abilities. This never bothered Percy, as magic was not something that he was especially passionate about. He spent most of his childhood as an avid reader, preferring to curl up with a book rather than practice his magic.

When he was young, Percy idolized his brother, Stephen Specter. He was six years younger than him and his twin sister, Florence Specter, which was a significantly larger age gap than he had from his younger sisters, just one year from Anya Specter and four from Clara Specter. Being his only brother, Percy spent his younger years attempting to mimic Stephen, to be as much like him as possible, noting that his father was always especially proud of him. Percy, who had always been softer and more sensitive than his brother, longed for the attention from his father that Stephen got, leaving him desperately wanting recognition.

Despite his attempts, Percy always was closer with his sisters than he was with his brother. He spent most of his time around them, especially his younger ones, as he and Anya would play piano together, and Clara would simply tag along often. The Specter family was not very wealthy, meaning both Amos and Polly both worked, leaving Florence too often pose as a mother figure, which helped with the closeness he had with his older sister.

As Percy grew older, he grew out of his attempts to be like Stephen. He began to find his brother slightly scary and threatening, as he was someone who was quiet and mild. He entered his teenage years, finally having developed a sense of individuality, allowing himself to learn more about himself, outside of his family and the traits he has borrowed from Stephen.

#### *Sexuality*

Percy began to realize that he was not interested in woman once he grew into a teenager. His brother would bring home women and he never took an interest, first thinking that he'd just grow into it as he got older. He never did, which was further proved when he developed feelings for X, a neighbor who he had grown up with. Peter was quite a few years older than him, but this was no issue, as most of his feelings were simply fantasy and not anything he planned on acting on, being disgusted by himself in the beginning.

As he slowly came to terms with himself, he kept his sexuality a secret, afraid to become a disappointment to his family, which in his eyes, was one of the most important things.

### Teenage Years

When Percy was 15-years-old, he began a purely sexual relationship with X, something that he was unused to and never experienced before. Percy had always viewed himself as plain, and therefore was shocked to find that there was a person who was attracted to him. As his feelings for men were still rather new to him
