Tristan Mitchell-Anderson

rped by MerisaTristan is apart of the CHBs and is a student at Hogwarts. He is also a loyal friend and a deadly enemy.

It all began with Katie Mitchell and Bethany Anderson.
Katie and Bethany met during a trip the Salem institute made to Europe. They were on Hogsmeade, when Bethany bumped into Katie. That day they became friends, but were separated due to Katie only being there for a trip. Katie returned to Salem, and Bethany continued her years in Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw. It was on their sixth year that Katie had had enough. She hadn't forgotten of Bethany. She asked her parents to transfer her to Hogwarts, knowing fully well that was where Bethany studied. Or at least she hoped she still did. Her parents were those kind of parents that preferred success and money over family, so it was easy for Katie to get transferred to Hogwarts. When she arrived, she was sorted into Slytherin, which she didn't mind. The day she finally found Bethany, she ended up nothing but a shell. Why, exactly? She was lip-locked with her boyfriend. As soon as she saw Katie, though, she pushed him away and tried running after her, but her boyfriend didn't exactly take it kindly.
Having taken this the wrong way, Katie desperately tried to head back to Salem, just to be stopped by her parents. They were finally rid of Katie, and they didn't want her back. It didn't matter, though, because a week later or so, they died. Quite brutally, might I add. They were tortured, and later burned to death because of some old rivalry with a gang leader. Long story short, the guy was found, got condemned to jail for life along with his goonies, and Katie passed her sixth and most of her seventh year in Hogwarts all depressed.
By the time they graduated, Katie and Bethany had already talked and sorted things through. It came to light that Bethany's ex hurt her multiple times, and so he was expelled a week before their seventh year Christmas break. Years had passed of Katie and Bethany dating, when they finally got married. Instead of getting the help of science, they'd decided to adopt, and so the Mitchell-Anderson family grew.
My family was dysfunctional to say the least. I grew up pretty much thinking they hated my guts. It was only confirmed when my parents dumped me at Lil Bundles without so much as a goodbye. Sucks right?
My first sign of magic happened when I was around the age of seven. It was a typical day at the orphanage and I got a horrible hair cut (no offence Rose). It grew back over night. Which I'm extremely grateful for. In fact, Bethany and Katie were there to see it. I'm pretty sure that's what sealed the deal in my adoption but that's just me.
When I was eleven, I got my letter to Hogwarts. The Lil Bundles Workers said it was a safe haven and a great place to be so...Yeah.
My first year was pretty uneventful. Except, I met Rebecca Ortiz at the black lake, we hated each other at first. What? She was a know it all. A cute know it all, but still! One thing lead to another and we were sent to detention. Yeah. Uneventful. My second to third year was pretty much the same except, Rebecca and I became friends and she taught me how to use a sword...knife...thing.
Fourth to Fifth year...things became complicated. I met Rachel she kissed me...I realized I...liked Rebecca. And not in a friend way. Anywho, school and things happened. Like, I gave up an amazing opportunity to go to EESM (I'm glad I didn't. I heard the school blew up or something).

Tristan is brave and a natural leader. People just gravitate to him. With a strong sense of loyalty, he would rather die than see his friends dead. Having a smart and sarcastic sense of humor, he often is put in detention (no teacher likes to hear quips from a student). He's also pretty laidback making people think he's lazy. He also keeps his word.
However, Tristan somewhat has a short-temper making it difficult to control his anger. He has a tendency to blurt things out without thinking (this applies to actions as well). He also has a tendency to feel responsible for everyone and anything if things go wrong.
Despite all of this, he stills has that rebellious streak in him. That makes him brave in more ways than one (stupid bravery or actual non-stupidity...well, let's just say there's a fine line between the two). He's actually pretty smart, he just doesn't show it. He is definitely a free spirit. He hates being manipulated into doing what people want. Since he's now an adult, he has a sense of maturity and responsibility to him. Must come with the title 'Professor' or something.

He got it from Rebecca it one of his birthdays. It's named and everything!
