►background

At 10:25 in the morning, Jacen Riley Reed was born on the 31st of March, 2077 in Fukasawa, Setagaya-ku, Japan to Ryden Reed, an English Pureblood Wizard of Newcastle, and MaiyaTamazaki-Reed, a Half-Blood Witch of Setagaya. Jace has an older brother named Jakub, or Jake, and is also a Half-Blood Wizard who goes to Mahoutokoro School of Magic in Japan. Albeit the frequent arguments that ensue between the adults, Ryden and Maiya are still married. To resolve one of their many conjugal problems, Ryden and Maiya decided to part physically. The act was made in good faith to avoid their option to divorce. This has also allowed them to pursue their careers in Great Britain and Japan separately.

Ryden is a Diplomatic Relations Officer for the International Confederation of Wizards, while Maiya is a businesswoman and potioneer in her hometown. Ryden finished his wizard schooling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the house of Ravenclaw and pursued a degree in Diplomatic Relations in the Wizarding University of Ambleside. Maiya went to Mahoutokoro School of Magic in Japan for her basic magical education and pursued a degree in Advanced Potions in the same university as Ryden wherein they first met.

Mid-way through their university education, Maiya got pregnant with Ryden’s child—Jakub, and they decided to marry to make their firstborn legitimate. While the two young parents continued their education, Jakub stayed with his paternal grandparents in Newcastle. The whole family then moved to Japan shortly after Ryden and Maiya graduated from University. When Jakub turned seven, Jacen was born to the Reed family.

Jacen, ever since infancy, was a very quiet boy. He rarely makes a sound, and his cries would usually be just whimpers. He was already three years old when his parents noticed that the boy’s ability to speak was underdeveloped. Maiya, being half-blood, wanted her youngest son to be treated as normal as possible, thus young Jacen was sent to a muggle Speech Pathologist in Japan. The three-year-old went into therapy and developed a knack for hitting things since collisions make loud sounds. His doctor advised his parents to expose their son to sports so that it could help speed up his speech development. When Jacen turned four years old, his maternal grandfather brought him to Nihon Gakuen Kendo Class and made him try out Kendo. Jacen quickly adapted to the activity and showed great interest in it. The boy’s parents supported him from day one to the present, as the sport made their son active, and sociable. After long exposures in the dojo, Jacen was able to center his developing magical energies within him, gave his spirit a voice, enabling him to finally talk properly.

A rift developed between his parents shortly after Jacen turned seven, and his parents decided to split locations. Maiya decided to stay in Japan to look after her business, and Jakub decided to stay as well with his mother to continue his education at Mahoutokoro School of Magic. Jace started his magical schooling at Mahoutokoro as a day student, and continued his secondary schooling at Hogwarts; a decision which was heavily influenced by Ryden’s experience as a Diplomatic Officer, as well as the full support of his former boss, Charles Hollingberry. Japan’s Department Head for their International Cooperation Division, Mr. Hollingberry, happened to have half-Japanese children who graduated from Hogwarts.
