Bruno Montoya

##### Positives

> + Adaptable: No matter what the situation is, or the circumstances, he adapts fairly quickly to the changes he's faced with as if it weren't a change at all.
>
>
> + Affectionate: He loves hugging on people, cuddling, telling people how much he cares for them, etc.
>
>
> + Humble: He knows things that he's good at, but he's incredibly humble about it and isn't really into bragging on himself.
>
>
>
> + Funny: He's more class clown than anything because he loves to be the reason that people are laughing. He likes having a good time, much to his professor's chagrin.
>
>

##### Negatives

>
>
> + Noncommittal: He really struggles making commitments so he doesn't really date or make plans. He's a go-with-the-flow type of person
>
>

#### History

##### Family History

> Shiloh seemed to hit instant fame right after he graduated from Castelobruxo, his voice one of the ages. He traveled on his own money, opting to camp at one site or the next, as he made a name for himself as a musician. He didn't really care about being famous - he just liked to sing and he liked to make people happy through his singing. It was at one particular concert that he experienced love at first sight when he saw *her*, his pearl. She was as pretty as a pearl, he would later explain, and just addicting to look at even in a crowded room. For that entire concert, he couldn't tear his eyes off of her, and she couldn't tear her eyes off of him. It was a romance for the books as they met after the concert and from that point on, never left each other's side.

> She had been working at St. Mungo's as a receptionist, no real goal in mind, but she dropped everything to be with the musician, which her family absolutely hated. It wasn't practical, and she had always been practical - until she met him. She went with him to every show, supporting him fully and completely. It had been a couple of years until he officially heard her singing voice when she was singing in the shower, and he fell in love even more. Convincing her to make music with him, her voice seemed to balance his own out even more, and eventually, Shiloh Montoya, the musician, became Shiloh & Pearl, the band.

> They continued to travel throughout the world, performing at smaller locations like coffee shops or bars, not really wanting to perform at concert venues that seemed to eat people's money. They even performed in muggle areas, just loving music for the sake of music. Not believing in marriage, they never married themselves, but they loved each other so deeply, and eventually, were gifted with a child of their own after many years of trying.

##### Early Years

> Bruno's early years were all about traveling. He never thought it was too weird that they really never stayed in one place for too long, even if they had a home that they returned to more often than not. They were constantly going from one location to the next and he'd be watched while they performed at one venue after the next. He loved it, mostly, though occasionally he would prefer to just stay in one place.
> He and his parents were very close, though Bruno seemed to get into everything and always did things he wasn't supposed to since it brought him more attention from his parents when his parents were busy. He was very misbehaved, but his parents didn't really punish him at all because they felt he was just expressing himself in normal ways. Without consequences to his actions, his acting out continued even more, never fully receiving the attention that he really desired because his parents were more wanting to be his friend than anything.

##### School Years

> When he arrived at Hogwarts, he didn't really know how to feel about it. He liked traveling all over the place and while at Hogwarts, he couldn't do that and felt like he was missing out on what his parents were doing. He also, as he realized, got really sick, really fast, about people knowing him because of his parents when he wanted to be known for himself and wanted people to like him for himself, which is when he realized he was really good at making people laugh around him. He realized that he loved attention, but for things he did, not for his parents.

> He was sorted into Hufflepuff, which he really did feel suited him best. Even though it was hard for him to be at Hogwarts at first, and though he seemed to continue receiving detention for his disruptive behavior in classes (and outside of them), he liked the attention that he received from various professors and getting to sit in a classroom and feel like he was getting special attention. Seemingly with a lot of attention, it was a professor that convinced him to start running as a way to get some of his energy out. The only reason he had started was because a part of him wanted to say that he tried and to make his professor proud, which it had, but he found out that he actually really loved it. He liked to push himself in that regard, and he liked the burn that his legs felt when he pushed himself harder.
>

> Running seemed to do the trick, and though he was still getting in trouble for talking too much or disrupting classes, it wasn't nearly as often, and he wasn't jumping out of his seat at every chance. When things in the wizarding world took a turn with a murderer on the loose, Bruno found his way to make the people around him feel comfortable and laugh more, despite the seriousness, and in a way, he found that to be his job. With the next year being the tournament, he was in HEAVEN getting to travel to the different schools, and wished that it was something they could do every year. Plus, there were *way* more people to flirt with.

> As his fourth year arrived, on a spur-of-the-moment decision, he tried out for quidditch with some other friends. He wasn't entirely serious about his tryout, but to his surprise, he was good enough at it that he was accepted onto the team.
