Text Cut: Ravenclaw born under the sign of Aries

These Ravenclaws will have lightning-fast mental reflexes. Aries is an intellectual sign, but it is also an impatient sign; Ravenclaws who were born under this sign are likely to tolerate no dull wits or stupidity, whether they see this lack of mental competence in themselves (in which case they will berate themselves for not understanding, or give up quickly in frustration without really trying to overcome their difficulty in learning) or in others (in which case they will lash out at the offender with acidic comments and haughty, cutting looks). These Ravenclaws will want to be at the head of the class, dominating other students in their chosen intellectual field, and maybe almost as competitive as Slytherins. However, the true aim of every Ravenclaw is knowledge, knowledge, and more knowledge. While a Slytherin might see losing a magical duel or being bested by another student in a DADA class as humiliating, the Ravenclaw will probably just take delight in competition for its own sake, and see defeat as a learning experience.

Text Cut: 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 is a graduate of Mahoutokoro School of Magic in Japan. Albeit the frequent arguments that ensued 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 finished his wizard schooling in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry under the house of Ravenclaw and pursued a degree in Diplomatic Relations at 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 at 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.

After a successful career in Diplomacy and International Relations, Ryden has now become the UK Ambassador to Japan, while simultaneously acting as a Consultant for the Diplomatic Relations branch at the International Confederation of Wizards. Maiya is a businesswoman and potioneer in her hometown.

Jacen, ever since infancy, was a very quiet boy. He rarely made 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 normally 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, giving his spirit a voice, and 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.

During his time in Hogwarts, Jace met incredible people and teachers, making his stay enjoyable and memorable. It was also in Hogwarts where he met his best friends, Azura Jensen, and Matthew Merriwether.

After Hogwarts, he'd pursued his education back in Japan, wherein he trained and majored in curse breaking, aurorship, and financial business. He's stayed in his home country after the birth of his son, Yoji Christopher with Mahiro Inoue, and worked for Gringotts Japan as their Financial Analyst, and Liaison Officer to the Gringotts UK branch. After his successful custody battle for his child, he's made their way back to Great Britain, just in time for Yoji's first year in Hogwarts. The two are now based permanently in a small town in Norfolk, England.
