Character Information
Name of character you are applying for: Dai Kincadd (born Dierdre Kincadd)
Age of character you are applying for: 19
Birthday: June 14th, 1982
PB: Daniela Sea
Wand: 10 inches, beech, inflexible, dragon heartstring core.
House at Hogwarts: Ravenclaw
Family
Parents: Adyna and Owyn Kincadd, Sr.
Siblings: four older brothers: Owyn Jr., Gwydion, Howell and Padrig
Family interactions: Dai had a very horrible childhood, and no longer talks to any of his family, except an occasional owl to his brother Howell, the only brother he ever remotely got along with.
Occupation: Apprentice cursebreaker
Residence: a quite dinky flat near Kings Cross Station
Financial status: Attempting to live off of his meager Ministry salary.

Blood Status: Muggleborn
Sexuality: Dai considers himself straight, and dates girls.
Physical description
Height: 5’10
Weight: he’s a bit underweight at 140 pounds, due to his poor diet.
Distinguishing marks: He’s got scars down his arms from his years at Hogwarts.
Give us a description of your character's appearance:Dai was a bit of a porker until the summer hols after his third year at Hogwarts, when his brother Owyn took up boxing. Dai proved to be an apt pupil, and soon moved from punching bag to puncher. At nineteen, Dai's thin, with a mop of straight dark hair that he prefers to keep in a shortish shag around his face. He's got icy blue eyes that flash dangerously when he’s angry.
Give us a description of your character's personality:First and foremost, Dai is a fighter. From very early on, he's had to fight for recognition with everyone from his parents and brothers to his classmates and teachers. With age, he's moved from fighting purely with his fists to using words and reason as weapons, but he's still incredibly willing to get into a fist fight in his own defense. He lives his life on the defensive, always ready to question the accepted, push the boundary, argue against a rule he feels is unjust.
True to his Ravenclaw nature, Dai was a diligent student, especially in magic. In many ways, he's still the eleven year old that was fascinated by the enchanted ceiling in the Great Hall at Hogwarts. He's not the most stellar wizard out there, but he's the type to practice a skill without rest until he has it perfected.
Dai doesn't make friends easily, due to his overly-defensive nature and his paranoia that the world is out to get him. He is cautious friend, and it takes years to really get close to him. He only had a handful of trusted friends at Hogwarts, and none of them knew anything about his life pre-Hogwarts.
Since graduating from Hogwarts, he's become a bit more open. These days, he'll go out for a pint after work with his coworkers, even occasionally striking up conversations all on his own.
His detail-oriented work a curse-breaker suits him well.
History
Dai had a very normal childhood. As much as growing up as the youngest child in a family of old Welsh nobility can be normal. As normal as being the first wizard in a Muggle family. As normal as fighting with your parents, brothers, teachers and schoolmates every day of your life for the right to be who you are.
Young Dierdre was the long awaited for daughter after four boys. Her mother was thrilled to have a little girl to dress up in ruffly dresses, shower with dolls and decorate everything in a hideous shade of pink. Dai's first word was "truck" and as soon as he could walk he was toddling after his brothers and stealing their toys. As he grew, he wanted nothing more than to be 'one of the guys' and just couldn't understand what made him different.
He first ran into problems in primary school, abandoning his school's uniform skirt for the boy's pants option, and fighting his way into any and all games on the playground. He won the respect of his classmates and the worry of his parents and teachers. He repeatedly tried to tell his parents about his feeling that he was born in the wrong body, but they brushed it off.
His older brothers (with the exception of Howell) were quite rude and intolerant of Dai and were very unsupportive of Dai’s decisions. His mother became verbally abusive and his father stopped talking to him. By the time he was eleven he’d already run away from home twice, and his parents were looking into reform schools.
It was a relief for the entirety of Dai's family (and probably the town as well) when a demented looking bird crashed through their dining room window one night and offered to make this entire embarrassing "daughter-that-wants-to-be-a-boy" problem vanish. Sure, we'll say the child's a wizard and ship them off for nine months at a time, very good, fancy more tea, mum?
Unfortunately for Dai, Hogwarts was hardly the environment he'd been expecting. Sure, he was an excellent student, learning all this amazing stuff, and there were ELVES everywhere... but everyone kept calling him Dierdre, and trying to force him into skirts. First year was one long fight against, well everyone. Expulsion seemed imminent, until a well-placed Dumbledore intervention managed to diffuse the situation. Professors starting calling him Dai, and his fellow students gradually started following suit.
After Dumbledore’s death, things got much worse. Fourth and Fifth at Hogwarts were horrible for him, when anti-muggle sentiments and his own vulnerability made him an easy target. That, and his tendency to try and fight back meant that he spent a lot of time hiding in the Room of Requirement, and was admitted to the Hospital Wing at least once every few weeks, and was sent to Saint Mungo’s twice, once for the duration of the Battle of Hogwarts.
The rest of his time at Hogwarts, he stayed mostly out of trouble (and the hospital wing). He graduated from Hogwarts at the end of last year, and because of his high OWLs and NEWTs in Arithmancy was almost immediately given an internship as a cursebreaker at Gringotts.
His parents were informed of what was going on sporadically throughout his years at Hogwarts, and didn't pay much attention unless there was money involved. He has visited home once since his graduation, where his brother Howell volunteered to help him move his last few things. After a particularly violent fight about a pair of shoes, Dai finally told Howell about his last seven years. Since then, his brother has had a sort of respect for him, and they’ve started to develop an uneasy sort of friendship.
Plotting
What short and long term goals do you have for your character?: Short term, I’d like to see Dai make some actual friends, and work his way through his distrust of others. I think that especially working at Gringotts, he'll have some interesting times coping with being Muggleborn
How does your character feel about the post-war world?: If Dai never had to think about the war again, he’d be a very happy camper. He’s terrified of Death Eaters, has been since his first exposure to them, and would be just fine with them all ceasing to exist. He thinks the muggle world isn't quite ready to handle Wizards, but that they should probably begin making plans for the future.
