Boggart: Clowns Personality If there is such a thing as being too nice, Mo Branxton could be accused of it. Positive and happy-go-lucky, Mo has always been quick to find the silver lining - even in the darkest of clouds. Perhaps a result of being the doted-on youngest child of loving but busy parents, or perhaps because he was much younger than his boisterous and mischievous older sisters, Mo is a diplomat of the first order and has a serious problem with trying to please people (sometimes to his own detriment).
Recent years have tempered Mo's personality, helping him find balance between making other people happy and seeking his own happiness, and shaping his naively credulous and loving nature into one that is less quick to trust - but is more capable of empathy and sincerity. Family Connections Mother: Cassandra Rae-Branxton
Father: Doyle Branxton
Siblings: Genevieve Branxton and Sophia Branxton Background SPOILER!!: Background
Marcus Orion was born at Hogwarts, although he has no memory of the castle as a home the way his older sisters do. Within a few weeks of his birth, the family had retired to Branthwaite Manor, the family home in Cumbria. It was a difficult decision, as Cassandra was still serving as Headmistress and would be separated from her three small children for several days at a time. Doyle acted as Marcus Orion's primary caregiver for much of his early years, as even after Cassandra retired from Hogwarts in 2067, she continued to play an active role with the Ministry of Magic, the ITF, and various philanthropic organizations. Still, the occasional separation from his mother didn't permanently damage Marcus Orion's relationship with her, and he's a warm, loving boy with good relationships with both his parents.
Mo attended Beauxbatons Academy for two years. Although he had one sister each at both Beauxbatons Academy and Hogwarts, he was more inclined to follow the always-persistent Genevieve's advice - he selected Beauxbatons. Not only was his more gregarious sibling at that school, but she convinced him that living out of their mother's shadow was preferable. When she transferred to Hogwarts during the summer before his second year, Mo chose to stay on at Beauxbatons.
Considered one of the top three schools in Europe, Beauxbatons Academy offers the standard core subjects, as well as a focus on magical fine arts and creative expression. Although Mo had many friends there, a happy side effect of his open and generous personality, he felt a vague dissatisfaction as his second year drew to a close. Not one to put words to unhappy feelings, Mo simply informed his family and friends that he wanted to attend Hogwarts. Most assumed the decision had to do with Genevieve leaving Beauxbatons for Hogwarts, and some thought Mo wanted to be closer to his close friend since childhood, West Odessa. The truth was much simpler and yet harder to put into words: even at 12, Mo recognized he wasn't getting the academic support he wanted, and he longed for the school his mother, sisters, and West spoke so highly about.
