Background
Józsua Istvan was born on 18th February 2066 to his French mother, Monique Laroche, and his Hungarian father, Andras Istvan. He was born in England and the family settled there for the first four years of his life in an attempt to give him some stability. Józsua learned to speak Hungarian, French and English from birth, his parents making a point of talking to him in their native tongues as well as in English to ensure the learning curve was a natural one, and that their son would grow up to be multi-lingual.

From the age of four upwards, Józsua's life was spent moving from country to country and city to city due to his parents successful freelance partnership as Interpreters. He has picked up a bizarre mix of an accent but sounds subtly American, which he speaks in a quiet, laid back manner. While growing up, Józsua has lived in Italy, New York and France, and finally settled in his father's home city of Budapest, Hungary upon hearing the news that Andras' best friend, Eduard Asztalos and his wife, Marika had passed away, leaving their children orphaned. It fell upon Monique and Andras as Godparents to take them in. Enre and his baby sister Éva, came to live with the family. Józsua, accustomed to being an only child and the centre of his parent's universe, suddenly found himself a middle child..

His parents turned their affections towards this new boy who was selfless, polite, and a huge talent on the Quidditch pitch. Józsua, inevitably, started comparing himself to Enre, and over time developed a resentment of his brother.

Enre was to attend Durmstrang, at his parent's request, that year. Józsua would continue to be home schooled. Once he turned eleven, he didn't go to Durmstrang like Enre. His French mother instead decided upon the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic for her half French son.

Once at school, Józsua was a high flier without having to put in much effort. He was a consistent O grade student, naturally gifted at Charms and Transfiguration and, although his parents were proud, he could never quite shake the feeling (perhaps unjustifiedly so) that he was second best; particularly when Enre was scouted at the age of fifteen to play reserve for the Hungarian Horntails Quidditch team. Józsua was always naturally quiet, but he went further inside himself, developing deep seated feelings of inadequacy and jealousy.

Not long after his fifteenth birthday, his parents were offered a two year contact to work with a large organisation in Japan. Józsua was to be put in his Aunt's Imogen's care whom lived in London. The decision was made for him to transfer from Beauxbatons to Hogwarts. He began his education there in his fifth year..

Personality
Józsua is a complex, private person. He doesn't like to talk about himself but loves to hear about other people and will listen intently, taking everything in. Although he is quiet, he is friendly, caring and interested in others. He is bright, articulate, humorous and loyal. He doesn't make judgements and will always take people at face value. He has developed his parents 'wanderlust' and loves to visit new places and experience new cultures.

Józsua has a very negative self image (both personality and appearance wise), and can be over-sensitive and sulky at times. He has the ability to feed off others emotions.. an empathy which goes a little beyond perception: a trait which can lead to anxiety and despondency and the need to actively seek solitude.

Appearance

Józsua is slim and slightly below average height for his age. His features are interesting and unconventional. His wide, innocent, expressive eyes are nearly as dark as his hair. His skin is lightly tanned and he has an exotic look about him. He loves clothes and cares deeply about what he looks like. He is always well groomed and doesn't like to get his hands dirty.
