The question I am truly asking help for is; do you guys have any tips on how I can make him quirky and shy without making him too much of an outcast or loner? I don't want Kennedy to be lonely.
Thanks!
Hmmm well I think the whole anti-magic thing is going to be a personality quirk. Maybe he is upset that he is a wizard because he got picked on for being a "freak" and that makes him sensitive about it. I mean if he were anti-magic, then his parents wouldn't send him to Hogwarts. He was raised as a muggle...is that because his parents are muggles? Or his is one magical and one is a muggle and they wanted to do a Dursley thing and try to stamp it out of him
Maybe he is a muggle magician to show how muggles can do magic too. So he goes around doing magic tricks. That's quirky in the magical community. And being shy doesn't mean he has to be an outcast, it just means its harder and longer for him to make friends.
